first {if the honey don't get me, i know the beehive will}

Who: B + U {open}
Broadcast: Fleetwide audio
Action: Marsiva
When: Nowish

[B wakes, and he isn't where he should be.

Caught, his first panicked thought, followed closely after by failed - but no. This is a cot, but it's not a prison cell. He's been detained, rerouted - that much is certain - but he hasn't failed. He hasn't finished. The landscape of the game has simply changed.

It's still an unnecessary detour; it still makes his blood boil. B allows himself a long, silent moment of pure fury over his current predicament - forcibly prevented from finishing his masterpiece, halted from placing the final piece of the puzzle into place, how dare, how dare - but only that, only a moment. He's still him, and he does next what comes naturally for his brilliant mind in any situation - always observe. Make an analysis; collect the clues; form a conclusion.

B sits up, swings his legs over the side of the cot, plants his feet on the floor. Picks up the device set next to him, slowly turns it over in his hand, examining it. Somehow, he already knows exactly how it works. Interesting.

A move has been made against him; the only viable response is to launch a counterattack, a test. He clicks on an audio broadcast, and for several seconds, there's only the almost-silence of dead air - quiet breathing, a faint hum of background noise, nothing more. Then, he speaks: calmly, evenly. Perhaps unnaturally so, give the circumstances.]


Misora ... please respond.

[She just doesn't get it!! There are nowhere near enough people excited about this in the fleet, if you ask her.]

Seriously?! We're in space. How is that not awesome?

It's space!
survives: (i'm just giving in)

[A pause.] Yeah, I guess? I don't get what you're...

Space definitely [In a deeper, gruffer tone,] induce awe or whatever!

[She's definitely rolling her eyes over on her side. Whew, good thing he can't see her.]

[She sighs. Oh boy, what kind of conversation has she gotten herself into here?]

People usually understand what I say, you know. Awesome isn't even a weird word either?!
survives: (of your soul)

[She'd rather get into screaming matches. Sometimes.]

Does everyone you talk to use reeaaally precise words?
survives: (and play your)

I dunno. Sounds pretty boring to me, you know?
survives: (and it's over)

[personal profile] survives 2016-01-03 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
...No. That. That doesn't even make sense!
survives: (of your soul)

I've never heard it where I'm from.

[She's also very sheltered.]

Maybe where you're from's just different.
survives: (and the arms of the ocean)

Fine, fine! I guess I have!

[Practically grumbled,] It's still stupid...
survives: (found the place to rest my head)

audio;

[personal profile] survives 2016-01-10 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She huffs.] Nooot really.

[A pause and she groans.] Ugh! But whatever! I'm still not boring, all right?
survives: (wish for falling through the air)

audio;

[personal profile] survives 2016-01-12 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ooookay. That's just weird. You're gathering evidence.

This isn't a... a crime or something!
survives: (and it's peaceful in the deep)

[Oh. Well.

...He's got a point.]


Okay, okay, so we've all been kidnapped. That's true, I guess. But it's not like anyone's really figured out anything important about who took us.

[A pause.] You're really a detective?
survives: (and i've fallen from grace)

audio;

[personal profile] survives 2016-01-17 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess so. There weren't exactly a lot of detectives back home. [If they even existed anywhere outside of stories.]

...And I don't really know that much about detectives.
survives: (harmonize your own worth)

[A pause.] Aaaaand... I can ask you?
