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!

[Koushirou does have his Digivice on him, as always, though it's hidden out of sight as usual. He glances toward Ken's D3 but then ignores it, looking back at Ken again; he's really surprised, but it's not an unwelcome surprise.]

When did you arrive?

[empireofmymind]

Five hours ago. [ There's that large countdown clock on the wall, you see. It's handy for timekeeping.

Ken knows he should grill Koushirou for information. If anyone can explain why the two of them, out of all the Chosen Children, were selected to come here, it'd be his senpai. He also knows that every person he knows here is another person whose families are (presumably) waiting for them back home.

But he just can't help it: he has to smile and be a sap first. This is called "progress". ] It's good to see you.

[techknowlogical]

Ah, that's good.

[He hasn't been wandering around lost for too long, and Koushirou hasn't totally missed him being here for long. Good on both counts.

Similarly he wants to ask Ken several questions, but he's deciding which to start with when Ken speaks up first. He blinks once, a little surprised, but then offers a smile of his own.]

You too, Ichijouji-kun.

[It's been awhile, which helps him decide what to ask first.]

Have I been missing?

[He's not sure exactly how this works yet, and finding out if it works like the Digital World used to--which he hopes is the case--or if his absence is something that's been noticed is pretty important.]

[empireofmymind]

[ Ken hadn't thought of that. He feels bad for a moment, then keeps going. ] ....You haven't.

[ The pieces begin falling into place. ] So our vanishing isn't noticed.

[techknowlogical]

[Well, that's a relief. He'd been sure the group would be handling things alright without him, and that it would probably be assumed something weird--but not all that weird, considering their lives--had happened and he'd be fine, but he doesn't like worrying anyone. Especially his parents.

So that they seem to not be noticed to be missing is good, though it also means no one is looking for them.]

So it seems. I've been here over a month.

[empireofmymind]

This "Atroma" must have plenty of resources at their disposal. [ Ken's voice gets a little tighter at that. He doesn't like being toyed with. He really doesn't like not being able to see a way to avoid that. ]

[techknowlogical]

Yes. If this is all as we've been told, at least.

[The whole reality television show thing. He's not totally convinced; sure, there's no reason to disbelieve it outright, but there's also no particular evidence that it's the truth at all let alone the entire truth.]

[empireofmymind]

Has anything disproved that? [ Ken is trying not to sound nervous or worried but he's never been very good at getting things right the first time around. ]
