At least there's no elevator music...

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]


ooc: here's another mingle for the current game event! players can start or continue threads here from any point during the event. the additional setting information is still being postponed due to sickly mods, but y'all are welcome to post additional topcomments for reactions and investigation once it's up!

To be fair, our last planet didn't have TV.

[He's not trying to defend Atroma, and it's pretty obvious by how he's scrunching up his face.]

If they read some out loud, do you think it's in the archives? Like, can I go back and listen to some of those recordings? I've gotten enough fanmail to know what sounds authentic and what's... you know, off.

[alwayscomeback]

...Good point.

Maybe? I mean...you could give it a shot? And then at least we'd know, one way or the other.

[unfulfilledpotential]

Yeah. Worst case scenario, we can't see the old stuff we sent.

[He pulls out his communicator and accesses the network, while it's fresh on his mind.]

I'm not a comms guy, but they might have better luck with this.

[alwayscomeback]

Worth a shot, I mean, it is their area of expertise.

[unfulfilledpotential]

Yeah. I'm gonna ask my comm person, since she does owe me a favor - but you think you can get yours on this too?

[alwayscomeback]

Wellll my comms person is my sister, so I might have to bribe her more than anything, but I can give it a shot.

[unfulfilledpotential]

Well, if that's the case... [The pause is more for dramatic effect than anything] Let me help you out with that.

I mean, it's the least I could do, and I did technically promise to cook for you.

[alwayscomeback]

[He brightens considerably at that.]

Oh wow, really? That'd really help! She's getting more immune to my bribery.

[unfulfilledpotential]

Of course she would. You're her brother - I feel like it's part of those unwritten sibling rules, where you just end up being immune after a while.

[Honestly, even Shawn doesn't want Shawn's cooking (it's edible, at best) - but a promise is a promise]

We've got a great kitchen now, so I'll see what I can do.

[alwayscomeback]

It's such a tragic thing.

You're the best.
