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!

Oh yeah, I'm feeling the optimism here.

[Rustle rustle. He's looking. ]

[bolder]

Good. I tried very hard to make sure it got through.

[And she's waiting. Actually sort of patiently.]

[alwayscomeback]

Okay, I think this might do it.

[Thud. Something on the table.]

[bolder]

[Toph leans forward, reaching out for the thing.]

What do we got?

[alwayscomeback]

It's called Hungry Hungry Hippos.

[He'll take her hand to put it on one of the levers. ]

You gotta hit this lots and lots of times really fast, and the little hippos on the game board stretch out their heads and eat the little balls on the board. The person with the most balls wins.

[bolder]

Okay. [She pauses for a long moment, then feels the need to address the glaring error here.]

I should know by now, but... it's just hippos, isn't it?

[alwayscomeback]

Absolutely just hippos. Nothing else involved. It's from Earth, I think.

[bolder]

The only good thing that planet has going for it is the name.

[She gives the level a few test taps.] Looking the way it's supposed to?

[alwayscomeback]

Aw, I don't know, it doesn't sound so bad. Allen seems to like it a lot.

Yep! You got it.
