entry 001 | arrival

Who: Sam and [OPEN] to all!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: December 2nd

[When Sam wakes up, he expects to be laying in his bedroom in the bunker, tired from a particularly long case (clown, there was a clown, he's getting too old for this shit—) but nope. He opens his eyes to stare at a completely foreign ceiling, in a completely foreign bunk. He's of course in his nighttime clothes, to boot. No weapons, no phone, no nothing. Okay. He considers all kinds of possibilities, first. Djinn? Some sort of curse? Witchcraft? Maybe even some sort of dream-root-related snafu, or angels being dicks (somehow). There's also that little elephant in the room, in the back of his head: dude, you know exactly how this kind of thing plays out.

He rises up, easy to spot among a milling, small group with his six feet and four inches of [giraffe-necked] height. When he finally sees the high-tech machinery, the casual and potentially oh-so-different newbies wandering, the absurd amount of space out there — he says but one thing in front of the people around him, first and foremost, to break the ice:]


Well. Shit.

[Well shit indeed. He doesn't panic, but he does suddenly crave another vacation, somewhere without rips in space and time (if that's even the case here; maybe he's a captive to some higher power, because that wouldn't surprise him at all). When he's got the broadcasting thing down — thanks Adstringendum for the life lessons on what to do first — he begrudgingly addresses yet another audience, slipping on that polite and professional (and, okay, exasperated) aura that he's good at.]

So, show of hands. How many of you out there have fallen into other universes before? Because this sort of thing's getting kind of old.

... Did anyone from Adstringendum show up? Guys? Don't tell me the PCD's teleporting feature is going on the fritz or something. I know it was kind of too good to be true, but it was going well for a few months there. [Silly Sam, nothing stays good forever. But he hopes, y'know?] Let me know if I'm riding solo here, fellas.

And, uh. This isn't exactly my first rodeo, sure, but it's the first time I've ever... um... been in space. So I gotta ask, for my sanity: where exactly do us new spacemen go from here? Other than shooting jokes about Roswell, New Mexico.

[Come to Westeros... this is average size there.]

What passes for food. You'll not find much better.

[Still, a man has to eat. But if there's one advantage to the state of the food here, Robert is probably going to be losing these extra pounds pretty quickly...]

Little enough. There's Atrogans who have thrust us into these metal ships. You'll not want to try and break out the windows. The air is a poisonous vapor that will take your breath away.

[... this is as close as anyone's got to making him understand the vacuum of space is not good for him.]

[Robert gives no answer, only an expression of extreme impatience and aggravation. It was enough he accepted the answer he already gave. The vacuum of space was not a concept he was in any hurry of understanding.]

[A nod. Good man.]

We're not to stay on this ship for long. I've been told we'll be sent off to smaller ships first. [He strokes his beard at that.] I long to see them try it.

[He didn't see how they intended to send him off to another ship without a good fight. So he was counting down the hours.]
stagstorm: (My junk is numb!)

[A grunt.] Yes, a piss poor party at that. But it is what it is. Have you a name?

Robert Baratheon, King of the Seven Kingdoms and so on. [He waved his hand dismissively at the matter of his other numerous titles.] Are there those who are not from Earth?

[Even with the whole concept of space starting to chisel through his nearly impenetrable concept of the universe, he had not yet to begun to incorporate the idea of other worlds. There was Earth and that was all.]
stagstorm: (Do the iron strut)

[He shakes his head, clearly frustrated by a subject which makes little sense to him.]

Seven hells, the world was plenty big enough already. Now there's all this as well.

[When it came to his own education, he dragged his feet learning as much as he does about Westeros and what little he knows about the world outside that. Now there's just too much more to worry about.]

Bugger that. [Robert turned away towards the viewing bay. Would that he was as young again, then this might yet seem an adventure. There was so much out there, yet it mattered so little.]

Well, let's hope there's some battles to be won by us, eh? [Sam had the look of a warrior, after all.]
