Who: Katie and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: 1st December
[Oh. Well, this is new.
The bunks are comfy enough, and it's not exactly the first time Katie has found herself in an unfamiliar place. (Is it Thursday?) But it is the first time she's woken up in one for a long time, and so she squints at the door for a long moment trying to remember what she was last doing.
Then she peels off the bunk, blanket and all, and shuffles her way out to explore. She's not particularly worried, and most confusion goes right out the window when she see the giant windows that let her see out into space because seriously. She rockets over, face smooshed against the glass. That's probably where anyone on the Marsiva can find her for a long time, because space. Spaaace. This is the best accidental visit ever.
Much later, she'll actually think to check the comms, and only when she goes looking for the one she's meant to have. She turns up on the feed still with the sheet half draped over her curls and her nose still a little red from her mushed space-watching, and addresses the network cheerfully in a British accent.]
I think I took a left turn. Are we really in space? That's not just a clever painting or something, is it? Does that mean there are spacesuits? Can I go out in it? Is anyone here that I know? And what buttons do I push to leave again? Not that I didn't turn up here on purpose, because I've always wanted to see space and I really can't jump that far. Oh, but I should probably make sure, so if you could help I'd be much obliged.
...oh, I need a sword, too. Mine ran away.
[Hello, I am nine and full of questions and lies. But genuinely, she is curious. Something is afoot.
(But space.)]

She makes a face.] Do they sit you in chairs and try to tell you all the things you're doing wrong?

[Shifting tacks-- nothing scary here, really, except space and maybe getting lost in it. She's almost disappointed.] Is there any way home at all? I'm not in any hurry, but I might get into trouble if I'm late for dinner.

[ A beat. ]
From what I understand, everything stops where you're from. You get put back the same moment you were taken. I don't know how reliable that is.
video;;
That's very strange. Is this place still part of Adstrinnnng-something? [It's a long and stupid name, okay.]
video;;
video;;
video;;
video;;
Is that a last name or is it meant to mean something?
video;;
I don't think my name fits me, anymore.
video;;
Winter shouldn't fit anyone. You could always change it! That's what nicknames are for.

[ He's not really at the point of wanting to just yet, but maybe soon. ]

[ It's a weird situation, but details! Young child doesn't need them at the moment. ]
video;;
What's your real name?
video;;
video;;
Could I call you Mr Barnes? I'm sort of allergic to winter.

video;;
video;;
I think Katie is better.
video;;
[ A beat. ]
But if you like Katie, then that's what I'll call you. Is that okay?
video;;
Yes! That would be wonderful.

Katie it is.
