Who: Suzie, Newt, and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: For the Marsiva!
When: Friday, December 4!

PRE-POST ACTION:

[so here’s Newt. Newt is this bitty 5’ 7” guy who looks way scarier than he actually is because of some intense Heath-Ledger-Joker!facial scars. Unfortunately, upon awakening, Newt did so in a way that was so violent, it knocked his communicator off and to the ground. So now, after discovering that he is no longer in post-apocalyptic earth but rather IN SPACE and also his other half/drift partner/boyfriend????/who knows is not currently in the same area as him, is now trying to figure out how he can communicate perhaps with someone outside this deck-area-thing??? He doesn’t know what it is. He doesn’t particularly care. He’s just interested in finding Hermann. So after being unable to find his cell phone, he’s going to set eyes on the next person who has any sort of communication device and make a beeline for them]

[As it happens, “the next person in question” is one Suzie Quatro, who has been spending her long week on the Marsiva doing everything she can to keep from being horrendously bored, and who has at this moment decided to go about precisely that by working on a very serious and absolutely vital pursuit: getting really good at emojis.]

[any other time, Newt might’ve considered this a worthy pursuit. Emojis are, after all, an essential part of human communication (also, they annoy Hermann a lot.) Currently, though, he’s a bit too focused on previous goals to even wonder what she’s doing. So he’s going to peer over her shoulder at the device, inviting himself right into her space hi Suzie]

Hey, so is that some sort of communication device that broadcasts to a whole network of people?

[And predictably, Suzie practically jumps out of her skin, having been distracted by her very serious emoji work and consequently not expecting someone to be SUDDENLY RIGHT THERE HOLY SHIT HELLO.]

Ahh!

[And in her surprise, she proceeds to fumble the aforementioned communication device right onto the floor like a pro.]

[Newt can’t help but jolt as Suzie does, letting out a yelp himself and startling back half a step. It’s reflex, mostly, but once he realizes there actually isn’t a threat, he does notice the comm on the ground. At which point he stoops to grab it and starts fiddling with it. Unfortunately, that means the first couple lines of Suzie’s emojis get posted before he manages to flip the video on…]

FLEETWIDE VIDEO:

[—except then suddenly VIDEO and hi here is Newt’s face peering into the camera]

Hello—is this thing working? Hey, if this is on, I’m looking for Hermann Gottlieb. Hermann, if you’re here—

H-Hey! Stop it, give that back! You can’t just — that’s not yours, I was using that! Give it back!

[Uh-oh. Sounds like someone offscreen is not altogether happy about having her serious business interrupted. Or her comm stolen, for that matter.]

[Newt’s scowling, not looking up from the com as he turns his back on Suzie, a probably futile effort to keep the comm in his hands that much longer]

Just hold on a minute, lady! This is important, jeez. [totally dismissive omg Newt no]

That doesn’t mean you can just take things that don’t belong to you! Smettila!

[And the video proceeds to shake all over the place as what is presumably a juvenile-grade scuffle ensues, and somewhere in there the video proceeds to switch off.]

[OOC: As evidenced by the...everything, this is a joint post between Newt and Suzie! Feel free to happen upon them kindergarten-slapfighting over Suzie's comm if you're on the Marsiva, OR respond to them via the comms! Please note that for the moment, though responses may come from either of our journals, ICly they will all be from Suzie's ID, since it's her comm being used (and bickered over!). o/]

[NEWT'S JUST GONNA BE YANKING ON THIS HERE COM LIKE A REAL ADULT]

Um, I kinda just did! And it's really important, okay, it's not like I wasn't going to give it back! Chill out, lady, and let me finish my post!

[ragazzina]

Ooooooh! Don't you tell me — it's mine, don't just turn it on and use it like it belongs to you!

[INEFFECTUAL GRABBYHANDS AT THE COMM PROBABLY]

[fortunefavored]

[MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO DUCK YOUR GRABBY HANDS MISSY AND HOLDING THE COM OUT OVER HIS HEAD AND AWAY]

Well maybe if I had one, I wouldn't have to! But they didn't give me one, and I need to find Hermann, so let me use it!!

[ragazzina]

[Well, at the moment she's probably not visible on account of NEWT'S FACE, but that's certainly her name, all right.]

This terrible — guy —

[fortunefavored]

You-- [trying to hold it out of reach hello vid swinging wildly] --dropped it! I didn't take it! It was on the floor!

[ragazzina]

[okay well if Caesar says to let him have it for the moment she will...grudgingly acquiesce BUT SHE'S WATCHING YOU, SCARFACE.]

[mylegacy]

Give it to him for a minute. I want to talk to him.

[fortunefavored]

[EXCUSE U R NOT HERMANN] Um, trying to get shit done, what's it look like?!

[nextlineis]

It looks like you're messing with a friend of mine for no goddamn reason.

Re: video

[fortunefavored]

I have a reason! I'm trying to find someone! [TOTALLY INDIGNANT CLEARLY THIS IS THE BEST REASON also definitely getting to more important subjects here]

Anyway, do you know Hermann Gottlieb?

[ragazzina]

[Meanwhile, somewhere offscreen —]

Jojo!

[nextlineis]

Don't take any of his shit, Suzie.

[deshabille]

You're going to want to drop that, lad.

[VIDEO SWINGING WIDLY BECAUSE OF SCUFFLING HAPPENING] Not--until--[grunting because TRYING TO HOLD ON TO THE COM]--I--find--Hermann!!

[deshabille]

No one by that name on the Fleet.

Would he be proud of you at the moment, do you think?

[hitbyakar]

[ She's just approaching in the midst of this scuffle. And staring icily at Newt. ]

What is the meaning of this?

action;

[ragazzina]

[OH SHIT BOSS IS HERE and as far as Suzie is concerned, the comm goes momentarily forgotten in favor of turning her attention to Lisa Lisa.]

M-Madame Lisa Lisa!

action;

[fortunefavored]

[well, Suzie, if your'e going to get distracted, Newt is going to take possession of that comm...and ignore Lisa Lisa like the jerk he is, starting to flip through the current replies to the post]

Damn, still nothing--why can't anyone on this thing answer a question?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[yeah okay so while the video broadcast is obviously very important, and Robin watched it and all, he has chosen to pick up on and reply to the obviously vital part of this post.]

Hey, someone else figured out the faces! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

text ➥ video ➥ shenanigans

[ragazzina]

[God bless you and your complete sang-froid, Robin, you clearly have the best priorities of anyone in this fleet. And all things considered Suzie will probably be delighted to have an in-depth conversation with you about the importance of the little man-faces, but at the moment it's looking like the response you're going to get is a brief flash of video, just in time to catch a comm being yanked around and quite possibly a petite blonde girl stomping the hell out of a scar-faced man's foot as she grabs for control of it.]

—ook for your Hermann somewhere else!

text ➥ voice

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[wow... they're still going at it... he's really about this text-face thing, and he's also impatient, so he switches his feed over to voice just so that he can maybe be heard over the shenanigans.]

Oy, stop fighting for a minute and pay attention to me.
