first stage

[truecaptain]

Who: Kanata and You
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: None except for those on the Hospitality Deck
When: 3/23

[So, if there was one thing this young girl knew it was flying around in space. She'd spent so much time in the Flying Get in the past two years, and even before that, it had become somewhat natural to her. It's not strange to be on a ship-- but it was decidedly not the one she knew. It was jarring, but her immediate instincts were to look around. When she was finally settled on things is when she decidedly addressed the fleet on her own (whatever embarrassing flailing might have been shown distinctly ignored by her).

Perhaps surprisingly, the smile on her lips is easy and natural. She is used to things like this already, even if it should be a little strained given the circumstances. Always smiling: that's an idol. Even when you're angered or insulted take the situation gracefully. Or as much as possible in her case, but today she's trying hard to focus.]

Ah-- Hello! I'm the sixth generation Takahashi Minami of AKB0048. We were just on our way to a live on Naniwastar when-- [ she hesitates to find the word to say and then fails to ] -- this happened. Mm, I'm afraid we already were going to hold a once in a lifetime performance, but since I'm here I won't let the name of 0048 down.

[Carefully and with certainty since by viewing others she definitely knew the situation now, but she doesn't let that stop her the rest of the way. She pauses to continue on.]

I hope the people in the fleet don't mind answering a question or two. They're quick and I'll happily repay you... In the galaxy I'm from entertainment like this is banned, ah-- That is to say, if we're really on television right now, I don't think it's anything to do with them. But, even so, have you heard of anyone else from AKB0048?

Because if there's more than this being a prison instead of a tv show goes up higher on her list and she's not okay with that. Nevermind that it's prison-like already, in some senses, but she's used to pressure from fans and television. They were just stuck there and part of her wondered about how this could work and what she'd do, and that's when she starts abruptly again:]

The ship we use for 00 has a practice room, I don't suppose there's going to be any place decent for that right? If I'm going to be visiting for a while I can't start slipping up on choreography so easily.

It's not much, but if I can help someone out here somehow let me know! Ah... Not that I'm not the one completely new around here, but we travel to different planets a lot so any little bit helps, right? Thanks for listening!

Dragon!

Who: ANYONE!
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The forest outside of town!
When: Ambiguously around the 23rd

→ Before the mob
[Tek has run out of time. he's pushed his body and spirit to its limit, and his hold over himself finally slips. he's quiet about fleeing the city, but it's a different story once he reaches the wilderness. the sudden release of energy as he loses his human shape hits the atmosphere in a silent wave. the countryside shivers as an aura of death and malaise touches every living thing, even if only in the very back of the mind. and for those more sensitive to such things... it's clear that something has happened. something is here.

for those wandering the forest that day, they may step into an area of the forest gone still with a graveyard hush. and if they linger there, they might happen upon a monstrous beast.

he's keeping to the tallest, deepest copses of trees... because it's hard to keep hidden when you're the height of a three-story building. either creeping and looming between the trunks, gratefully wading into streams, or curling up to rest in roomy clearings, he's there.

and he's hideous. though not actually rotting, the creature is at least designed to look cadavorous. he doesn't appear overtly aggressive... but something looking like that must be far from harmless.]


→ After the mob
[and he can only stay hidden for so long. a band of foresters eventually happen upon him, and a battle inevitably ensues. it isn't long before the remnants of the group run howling into town-- a dragon is less than a mile away, and it has already struck down several of their number!

at once, the bravest warriors take up arms, ring the alarms, and begin to set out in bands to take down the monster!

anyone striking out to find the dragon after the battles have begun is definitely in for a fight, because he is now wounded and angry. and, since he's so large and caught in such a small area of land before he hits the barrier, he won't be hard to find--especially whenever he breaks the canopy of trees and takes flight, to try and find another area of forest not already full of attackers. if you watch the sky and follow him long enough, you're sure to find him.]


(ooc: open to absolutely anyone! just take a look at the ooc post first, and then jump in! also open for any peripherally-related threads--like reacting to the creepy wave of feeling that goes through the town, gathering friends, etc.--if you feel like it!

if you have any other questions, dump 'em in the ooc post!

otherwise, DRAGONFIGHT DRAGONFIGHT!!)
