01 - Light the fire
Who: Yang Xiao Long
Broadcast: Network-wide
Action: Marsiva and SS Bishop
When: 1/08/16 - 1/10/16
A: Arrival on the Marsiva (Backdated to 01/08):
[When the communicator's network feed goes online, it does not show anything at first. Seemingly just an empty cot room aboard the Marsiva. However, after a few seconds, a girl with long blonde hair slowly sits up in bed, rubbing her bleary, sleep-filled eyes. She stretches both arms above her, yawning loudly, and trying to evict whatever remnants of sleep were lingering on her person.]
Bluh. Hope I didn't oversleep. Weiss will kill me if I'm late to the--
[It's then that she takes a moment to look around, still looking half asleep. Slowly, she noticeably begins to realize that this is not, in fact, her dorm room back at Beacon Academy. No, this appears to be something far different. She notices a nearby window, the inky blackness of space stretching far out beyond the glass. She walks over to it, looking outside. She crans her neck this way and that, as if looking for the seam or the border of the set, some clue that this could actually be an elaborate prank. However, she quickly determines that this is all rather convincingly real. Rather than freak out though, she takes a moment, crosses her arms, and even grins a little.]
Well, this certainly was not what I was expecting to wake up to today. Space, huh? I can dig it.
[She spies the communicator sitting on a table, nearby the cot that she woke up on. She walks over and picks it up, offering a wave of greeting.]
Hi there to anyone watching this. All you aliens and space people and whatnot. Um, as cool as this all is- and really, it is pretty cool-I kind of have to get back to Vale soon. Like, right away actually. Got this big tournament that I'm fighting in, and my team's counting on me for the one on ones. So, if we could turn this thing around or if you could beam me back or just do the reverse of whatever you did to bring me here, I'd really appreciate it.
Maybe we can do this whole outer space thing some other time?
B: Arrival on Bishop (01/10):
[From one ship right to another. Not that Yang was complaining. After only a day on the Marsiva, she was already bored. She'd never been one to want to hang around in one place for too long. Unfortunately, it was seeming like this new ship was smaller than the old one. Still, at least it was something new to explore.]
[After the shuffle, Yang can be found wandering around the Bishop, getting the lay of the ship and figuring out all that it has to offer. She can be found in the kitchen, combing through the food supplies or playing with the drink machine's options--she'll be mixing flavors to see what tastes the best. She can be found in the bunkroom, looking a little disappointed with the overall lack of space provided. In the bridge, she'll be curiously checking out all the fancy knobs, switches and buttons. You may walk in on her about to push one or two. In the cargo bay, she'll be ogling the Bishop's shuttle craft, wondering how easy it would be to take one out for a spin. Not like she exactly knows how to fly one, but how hard could it be, right? Finally, she'll find her way to the armory, inspecting the various weapons that it has to offer. Sadly, discovering that she'll likely not find any good substitutes for her ember celica here.]

Action
I thought I heard someone arriving.
[He'll move a little closer, inspecting what she's doing. ]
Oooh! You should try the licorice flavour with the blue drink. It's pretty nifty!
1/3
[A talking horse.]
2/3
is
so...]
3/3
[She's clearly looking at him starry-eyed as he talks to her. She wishes Ruby was here right now to see this. She'll never believe Yang when she tells her.]
You are the coolest shipmate ever! What's your name? I'm Yang. Could you talk before you came here? Or did they like give that ability? Can you pilot the ship too? That would be amazing? Have you been here long? I just got here myself. I was hoping to meet some cool new people aboard the ships, and now I get to meet you and this is the best.
[And she's off. Her motor mouth going a mile-a-minute. Sorry Cheese, give her a moment to gush, and then she'll be good... if she totally hasn't scared you off by the time she's finished...]
no subject
You better believe I am! Name's Cheese Sandwich, nice to metcha, Yang. I could, I come from a world full of talking ponies just like me - no humans. I can, that's my augment, I'm one of our pilots and it is pretty amazing. I've been here uh eight months, but I was in another place before here that wasn't home for six. Glad to be one of the many cool folks you'll meet on the ship, hope you like it here.
no subject
A world of talking ponies?! That's so cool! So I guess not everyone here is from Remnant after all. We really are all from different worlds.
[Given the few people she'd met already in the past day and a half, or so, Yang had already figured as much. Still, it was a pretty fascinating thing to wrap one's head around.]
Eight months though? Wow. That seems like such a long time. How do you keep from getting bored?
no subject
Oh yeaaah, there's lots and lots and lots of people from lots of different worlds here.
We got lots to do here. We travel to all kinds of planets and can explore to our heart's content.

no subject
Uh...no cars. We have trains though?
no subject
So no cars, but trains? And they're easy for you to control? I mean... not to be rude or anything, but doesn't not having like thumbs make it kind of difficult?
no subject
[Wow you'd think thumbs the best thing ever, wow. W.O.W. ]
Well, we don't design anything to be used with thumbs. On account of the fact we don't have them. So they're a little different. Besides we still got mouths, and hooves.
no subject
Oh, duh! Of course, you wouldn't design something that required the use of thumbs if you didn't have them. Ugh, sorry for the stupid question.
no subject
no subject
Still, my bad for assuming like that. I bet hearing the same questions over and over can be kinda frustrating.
no subject
Ya know, it used to. Now? Not so much. I've been at this game for a while, seriously, don't worry about it. It's not worth getting bent out of shape over.
no subject
I guess you must miss it. Your home?
no subject
[Except it is, a little. The Bishop is the first place that's ever come close to 'home' for him. ]
I miss other ponies, though. Trust me, it ain't easy being the only member of your species in a place.
no subject
no subject
[He only cries on the inside. ]
no subject
Sounds like you've got a good attitude about it.
[She turns back to the drink machine that he found her at.]
So you were saying about something licorice flavored?
no subject
YEAH! Put licorice flavour with the blue drink! You won't regret it.
no subject
Whoa. Okay, now that is something different.
no subject
See? Told ya!
