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.)]

{But Steven, you have taste.] What other movies do you like?
no subject
Let's see, there's Dogcopter, Lonely Blade, The Lion King...
no subject
When did they come out?
no subject
Umm... The Lion King came out like 20 years ago, but the other ones are really new! From the last few years.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, Lion King's a Disney movie that came out in nineteen ninetysomething! It's so cool, and I'm really sad you didn't get to watch it.
[Now he looks up determined, with a face like he has a mission.]
I gotta find a way to show it to you! [Alas that they're not in the part of the Marsiva with all the movies anymore.]
no subject
You would think if this were really a spaceship there'd be all kinds of televisions. Don't people watch things in space?
no subject
[Steven nods sympathetically.]
I know, I know. I guess it's because we're supposed to be the television. But it's still not fair! We all have shows we're missing back home and cool movies we need to show each other. [He sighs.] Atroma, why you gotta be like that?
no subject
[Six weeks into this thread and this is when Katie snags a clue.]

no subject
Okay.
......]
I did always want to be on TV.
[That's it that's the response.]
no subject
[Blink.]
...Welllll, then I guess that works out for you! Congratulations, Dorothy! You're a star now!
no subject
If we're on TV, where are all the cameras?
no subject
no subject
Excuse me. I have to check on my dinner.
[And then she
hangs up. Bye Steven.]
