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.]

I haven't bothered to count. But there's a lot, since more people generate more drama for a reality show.

[ It's not face paint that's just how his face is!! ]

Yep. Everyone gets filmed all the time, because it's good television. You get individual ratings too, based on what you do, but I don't know what the algorithm for it is.

So it's a reality show, but in space. Like that makes it any less trashy. [ He does not have a high opinion of reality shows.

THEY'RE NOT TATTOOS...

Yeah, pretty much. Your life is televised now.

[ He thinks about it for a second. ]

They probably give you some privacy. They just want drama, not daily life or whatever. But if you embarrass yourself in your room by falling off the bed or something, they'll probably know about it. [ He sounds sour. ]

Oh, nah.

I tried to fry my own augment after I figured out they were messing with my memory banks. [ His expression is completely flat. ] Word of advice, don't do that.

It's also an uplink for Atroma to load whatever she likes into my memory bank. I don't like being tampered with. [ Don't do that to a navi. It doesn't end well. ] I figured it'd be worth it.

[ He grimaces. ] It definitely wasn't worth it.

Yeah, exactly like that. I don't have memories that can be influenced like humans. It's all stored perfectly. So... [ He shrugs, a bit. ] I don't like it to be tampered with.
