[video;]

[Today there's a blue fish lady onscreen. She ROARS and slams a conjured lance through the nearest table, splitting it in half. Poor hospitality deck, it never asked for this. She grabs the spear and looks at the console with a discerning yellow eye. The other eye is covered by an eyepatch and a bit of red hair.]

No one captures me. Not unless they have a DEATH WISH!

[She brandishes her spear with a twirl and shoves it solidly into the floor. Her grin shows jagged sharky teeth, and it nearly splits her face in half. Is she making you uneasy? Good.]

It's been a while since I had a real fight. Come out of hiding, cowards! I'll show you why I was made captain of the Royal Guard!

[A captain in... a muscle tank and skinny jeans, sure. Whatever.]

[She doesn't even blink at the conjured lance or the... fish part, honestly. She seems more amused, all things considered.]

... Sorry, but unfortunately, the ones in charge have been in hiding for a very long time. We've never seen them in person. If you want to take them out when we finally do find them, you'll have to get in line.

[fishwife]

Oh. Well... [There's a moment of uncertainty, and then she finds her bearings.] That's fine! I can wait in line. I'm a civilized person, dang it!

[She looks at the damage she's done. And then, defiantly, she kicks over the remnants of the table.]

So what's with the screen? If you're not the one who kidnapped me I'm not gonna hurt you.

[she approves of destroying the atroma's property]

The short version is, you're on a ship I can't get to. You'll be moved to a different ship in a few days.

You've been... basically kidnapped to be on a really stupid reality TV show. Or so the kidnappers tell us, but I don't really buy it.

[sinuosity]

[ Oh, she likes you already. ]

They do, and they hide like cowards.

[fishwife]

[Another human. She's beginning to think she's outnumbered. Thankfully, no one's trying to kill her or anything.]

What's the point of rustling people up if they don't want a fight? I don't get it!

[She crouches on the floor beside the table and rests her lance across her thighs.]

Wait. They captured humans, too?

[sinuosity]

We are here for their entertainment, regardless of whether we are human or not.

So they say.

[ ...it's not like she's likely to know that the person typing this is IN THE SAME ROOM AS HER. They're the head sticking out of the blankets of one of the cots. (As well as the body attached to the head.) ]

You'll probably have to pay for that table.

[fishwife]

[She squints. Is this supposed to be a cell phone? It looks so... weird. But she sure is seeing a text message.]

They can bill me IN PERSON if they care that much! And then I'll show them what I think of being kidnapped!!

text

[droprate]

[ Think of it as...a review of your cool video, Undyne. Well, kind of. ]

Then you'll fly yourself home?

[ So what if sarcasm doesn't come through in text all that well? ]

[resnipstance]

[Cool fish lady, meet cheery alien girl!]

Wow, you're captain of a royal guard? That's awesome! We should definitely have a match sometime.

video

[fishwife]

[She brightens immediately.]

Heck yeah! Just... let me... find a way out of this tin can first... and then I'll take you up on that offer!

Where are you from? Seems like everyone else here is human. I had no idea there were so many. [No wonder they lost the war.]

[resnipstance]

[That gets an amused smile.]

Yeah, humans are basically everywhere. You get used to it.

I grew up on a planet called Coruscant, if you've heard of it. ["If you've heard of it." Never will that stop being weird. Where she's from, Coruscant is the center of the universe. Literally.] But my home planet is called Shili.

You should get assigned to a ship soon. After that, we can spar all you like!

[actsmagnificent]

Let me know if anyone shows up. [ This person got to keep their weapons? Tch. Haruka leans back in the Bishop's pilot chair, amused and impossibly, anime-levels attractive, but that's a constant. The direct approach is kind of funny. ]

[video]

[fishwife]

Nothing so far. [It's cheating, really, since she can conjure spears with her magic.] I'm so disappointed. And bored. I could be exploring, but I can't find a way off this freakin' ship!

[video]

[actsmagnificent]

[ ...that's her issue...?

Haruka chuckles. She could not sound more smugly entertained if she tried. And she rarely consciously tries to do anything. ] Give it time.

[ Then you'll end up on an even smaller ship where you can get even boreder! When not being emotionally compromised! Hooray! ]

[reconstitution]

If you happen to draw them out, I'll be impressed. They don't ever show themselves- not really.

video;;

[fishwife]

They SHOULD. If you have a problem with someone, the best solution is to duke it out! It's so obvious.

[She scoffs and reaches out for her conjured lance, then twists it into the floor a bit more.]

Is this really space? It's nothing like the human history books.

[hymnals]

[Adra glances up from his book, one eye shut.]

Hey. Settle the fuck down. Some of us are trying to read.

video;

[fishwife]

[She squints, trying to figure out what kind of monster Adra is. He has glowing green eyes, that's totally not a human thing. But he LOOKS mostly human.

How fucking weird is that.]

HEY YOURSELF. I had no idea there was some guy behind the big screen! I figured I was being watched by these Atroma clowns. Guess I was wrong.

What'cha reading, nerd?

[survives]

Royal Guard of what?

[This is clearly the thing to focus on here. Definitely more important than that table, yep.]

video;

[fishwife]

[Fuck your table.]

The Underground, of course! [She leans in, trying to get a better look at the girl on the screen.] I report directly to the King of All Monsters! It's my job to throw out troublemakers... and to CRUSH anyone who tries anything!!

Do humans have a royal guard? [She can't remember if she ever read about that.]

video

[electrostatics]

If it's fighting you want, I haven't been able to spar with anyone in a while. [ Elecman, no, she'll like suplex you or something ] Maybe I'll take you up on that.

video

[fishwife]

[He looks like some kind of monster she's never seen before. She's already interested.] I won't turn down a spar. I hope you have some bandages handy! You're gonna need them after we're done!!

[She laughs.]

[notkittenaround]

[ She reacts to the aggression with steady calm, and not unquiet agreement. If a duel was all it took to escape, Marhi would have long fought against their captors. Which is why Undyne is getting a response from a blue cat lady. ]

Alas, they refuse to reveal themselves - such is the way of cowards.

Video;

[fishwife]

[It's good to see someone who isn't totally human.]

I noticed. Not a whole lot of monsters on this network, huh? You're the first who actually looks like someone from home.

[She thinks Ahsoka is a human with a hat.]
