✔ video ; action.

Who: some asshole joker.
Broadcast: video; fleetwide.
Action: the marsiva.
When: RIGHT NOW.

( BROADCAST ♦ if this is a hangover, i gotta stop drinking. )

( oh. this is – this is bad.

it takes him a second – maybe two, maybe more than that – to knock the fuzz out of his head ( and to realize that, at some point during his slumber, his hat had fallen off into the floor ), and sit upright on his cot, surveying his surroundings with the kind of scrutiny that comes from one too many nights spent trying to drink a krogan under the table and losing. normally, when he passes out drunk he wakes up in the same place he'd gone to sleep in or, at the very least, some universally familiar place that he can track from where he'd started.

this is neither of those things. and he's not all that happy about it.

it takes one look out those giant, crystal clear windows for him to come to the conclusion that yes, he's still in space, but no, he is most certainly not on the normandy, and you know what one thing has to happen for this one to lose his cool? take him away from his ship. and his commander. and –

he's so miffed and angry about this situation that he fumbles with his comm unit for a second – this isn't an omni-tool, what the hell!? – and while you all might have been watching from the very beginning, the audience is about to get a face full of beard and green eyes.
) Okay. I don't know what's going on here, but whoever's behind this has about two seconds before I –

( joker. you don't have anything you can possibly hope to threaten anyone with. a point which is made abundantly clear when he briefly checks his person and finds not only is he lacking his alliance uniform, he's lacking in pretty much everything. there's a small stretch of silence, and he huffs, decides to try again. )

Never mind, I'll let you ruminate on what I'm gonna do. Makes for a better threat that way. ( s i g h. you know, somewhere, shepard is thinking this is a riot, and who let you out of the cockpit, huh? ) Anyway –

Somebody wanna clue me in on where I am? 'Cause last time I checked, the Normandy doesn't have anything like this – ( waving an arm emphatically to encompass his surroundings, mhm ) – and I know my lady inside and out. This ain't her.

( an even smaller stretch of silence, and he drums fingers against his thigh when no immediate answer comes. ) Uh, I'm waiting. I don't know about you guys, but some of us have a war to get back to.

( ACTION ♦ at least this isn't watching buttons flash. )

( you know. just in case you want to run into him after he's squawked angrily at the network, had some time to cool down and is now meandering about the hospitality deck. checking things out. looking at the screens, out the windows … and basically being a grumpy piece of trash because he misses his ship. and shep.

he isn't in ship-shep shape.

this is a disaster.

I don't have a war to get back to, [he lies.]
cpt_ressentiment: (all this distance)

[ Wow, he's angry. But... well, that's a pretty normal reaction to something like this, huh? ]

You're... probably not gonna like the answers you get. We're all kinda stuck here. They don't really seem to care about wars or anything going on wherever we all come from.

[ He gives a small, apologetic smile. ]
brokencopy: (harm is in us but power to arm)

permavoice because b is a cagey asshole

[personal profile] brokencopy 2016-01-06 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
... I'm not sure what sort of a reaction you're looking for, here.
maschinenpistole: (make their faces crack)

[personal profile] maschinenpistole 2016-01-06 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
You're now part of a fleet of ships that's a reality TV show. In space.

[ Beat. ... She points to her head. ]

Hat hair?
brokencopy: (you fail with words and try again)

these two are already perfect

[personal profile] brokencopy 2016-01-06 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
No, of course I'm not a robot. But I fail to see why I should be sympathetic about you being taken away from a war. One would expect that a sympathetic person would be glad that you were no longer in danger.

[Obviously.]
cpt_ressentiment: (the insides work the same)

[personal profile] cpt_ressentiment 2016-01-06 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ jdfksal goosfraba... ]

It's a ship - The Marsiva. I guess it's like the mothership? We're all following it. Not like we have any other choice in the matter. [ He sighs. ]

Par for the course though, huh? Do you end up in weird space places a lot or something?
maschinenpistole: (once i reached that mountain peak)

[personal profile] maschinenpistole 2016-01-06 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ She smiles when the hat is back in its rightful place. ]

Flawless~

[ Kotoha. ]

Ahh, yeah. Space reality TV. That's what people keep saying! I'm a little new to this, too.

[Nah, not even gonna argue the robot thing; it's too dumb to bother with.]

Where do you think you can go, and how do you expect to get there from here? You've probably noticed by now that you're not where you expected to be, yes?
beardstrokes: (Matters less than my memory of him)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-01-06 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
A war?

[ He's not Republic . . . must be a war in another galaxy. Isn't that disheartening. ]

I'm afraid, while the desire to leave is strong, it's not as easy as it looks.
beardstrokes: (Choose what is right)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-01-06 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Duty or desire, the outcome is the same here, sadly.

[ He pauses, letting that sink in. ] I can help answer questions, though.
falconing: (may the force be with you :))

[video]

[personal profile] falconing 2016-01-06 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
What makes your war more important than my war?

[ or, for that matter, your ship more important than his ship? but, you know. important things first.

also, han's war is over, but. you know. details. ]


'cause I'm betting a lot of people here have got better things to do than sit around on some reality holo-serial that nobody's watching.
beardstrokes: (Against humiliation)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-01-06 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
I wish I could say. It's certainly not Republic space, where I am from. If the name Atroma is familiar to you, then you might be able to hazard a guess, but it is unknown space to the rest of us.
beardstrokes: (A failure in planning)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-01-06 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
You'll have to be more specific. If there is such a thing as the Alliance, then I certainly do not know of it in my galaxy.

So I believe it is safe to say that we are both in an unknown part of the universe.

[ Explaining his own galaxy's state of politics would take a while, and not what Obi-Wan considers to be "fun" conversation starters. ]
