Windrose, where the wind blows

[tothefly]

Who: Windrose crew and you, distinguished visitors!
Broadcast: Naaah.
Action: Windrose, various points in the near vicinity
When: Until we get off this frozen rock

[On New Year's Day, the crew on board the Windrose and those nearby may notice the chill as the doors to the cargo bay are left open, and their captain making quite a bit of noise as she inspects their newly expanded home away from home. This is likely to go on for a while. Feel free to come investigate, chat among yourselves, complain about the cold, etc!]

[Souji shakes his head.]

I don't think anyone has. I think the most anyone's done is maybe talked to them, though I haven't personally.

[No one's mentioned anyone interacting with the Atroma to Leia before now. She perks up a little.]

Is there a way to get ahold of them? I wouldn't mind giving them a piece of my mind.

[truthvalue]

Not that I know of ... I think sometimes they just talk to us, if what I heard is right. [He rubs at the back of his neck.] I turned in some paperwork to transfer ships, though - I'm guessing that went to them. I don't know if that would help you with getting a message to them, but it might be worth trying.

[imahologram]

That's not a bad idea. [By which I mean, LEIA'S TOTALLY TRYING THAT.] Better than waiting around for someone to take an interest, anyway.

[Souji gives her a wry half-smile.]

I think you'd be waiting a long time for that to happen. They don't really seem too involved with what we do.

[It's not at all how like things worked in the last place he was stuck.]

[imahologram]

That's the sense I'm getting. [Dryly.] I guess involving themselves in the action leaves them a little too open to critique.

[Well, she can think of other explanations, but that one seems most likely at the moment.]

[truthvalue]

Or they think it wouldn't be good for ratings.

[He shrugs, like it's not an idea that bothers him much, but it does, in fact - it's something that hits a little too close to home, after what he's seen of the Midnight Channel. Still, he covers for it with a calm smile.]

Ratings.

[HER EYES MIGHT BE ROLLING RIGHT NOW.]

If I ever get ahold of the Atroma, that'll be one of the first things I bring up with them.

[HE GETS IT THOUGH. Spend a year watching your friends' Shadow selves spill their darkest secrets for the amusement of anyone watching and you more or less lose all interest in something like television.]

It doesn't seem very fair. We don't even know who's watching us.
