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!

Guess not.

[ That's practically 100% sure!

...A school dance surely would feel like the fate of the world is hanging in the balance at a certain age, so... yeah. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Luffy's just worried a dead planet might run out of energy that could potentially send everyone home within a year, and everyone's too busy wasting time and effort on infighting and politics and classism to do anything about it. Also slavery and massive surveillance state? Seriously, some Fahrenheit 451 shit.

But yeah! A school dance could, in fact, be about as devastating as total extinction! ]

So how long have you been here?

[ SHE WAS IN CHARGE (well, half in charge) AND THERE WERE DOILIES AND FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS TO ATTEND TO—

but uh... yeah... definitely not along the same lines as his problems.

though flower arrangements are pretty high up there. ]

Only a few days, admittedly. I wish I could say I won't be here for very long, but... [ another shrug. it's clear she hates not being in control of things. ]

[ It wasn't just his problem, either. It was his friends, and their friends, and everybody's. ]

She said you gotta be the most entertaining.

[ His earnestness means his expression's wide open, receptive and honest. ]

Any idea what that's supposed to mean?

[multiglyphs]

[ she's not really used to having someone's full attention like this (most of the time, people's eyes glaze over when she gets ready to voice an opinion) so she's a little caught off-guard by such blatant earnestness tbh. ]

That's... hard to say. Entertainment is pretty subjective, after all. [ idly, she smooths her hands over her skirt. ] I mean I happen to think books are very entertaining, but not very many people seem to agree, so.
