Who: Uchiha Sasuke
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Marsiva
When: This very moment.

(broadcast)

[ Sure there are bound to be the occasional less-than-thrilling broadcasts but this one may be a new low, with the camera focused in on a nondescript blob that turns out -- with some acquired distance -- to be a knee. The feed shakes then and there's the loud metallic tap tap of the device being knocked against the framework of one of the generic cots aboard the Marsiva. Tap. Tap. Tap. The only other sound is that of the painfully bland music in the background, without a word being spoken.

At least this inept user finally turns the communicator around to inspect it at another angle, granting any viewer a flash of dark and impractically spiked hair before the camera then focuses on equally shadowed eyes and a severe expression.

No, he's not going to panic. He probably already did that internally before he even tried to figure out the communicator ~~less than successfully~~. Send aid. ]

(action)

[ Sasuke will be easy to encounter either sitting on that cot and fiddling with his communicator, exploring the bay thoroughly, or staring with incredible and difficult-to-read intensity out into the murky void of space. Godspeed. ]

We're all stuck here together, but if that's your preference. [At least Qing deals with assholes with some semblance of grace and poise.

.....

Usually.]

My name is Qing-Yuan Zhu. And you're... Sasuke? Judging by the previous posts, anyway.

Qing-Yuan Zhu. [ Right, that one he needs to practice one time. ]

Having my name precede me to this extent makes me feel like some part of my world followed me after all. [ I'm infamous. ]

Just Qing is fine, if that's easier. [Sasuke pls.]

Ah... it's not like that. [Well, not necessarily.] Certainly, some people seem to know you by name, but... there are some buttons on your communicator that will let you read and watch recorded posts. [He'll even give a barebones 'this is how it works' demonstration, as much as he can. We know how much you love technology, Sasuke.]

[ Sasuke watches and listens but it's already his intent to work it out for himself now that he knows the function exists in the first place. A new priority. ]

How inconvenient.

Do you generally intrude on other people's past conservations?

[You're welcome. Qing's just taking this with about as much grace as he can muster; if he thinks this is bad, the guy's in for a long stay.]

Not typically, save when I'm trying to avoid repeating information they already knew. We're on a space reality TV show, none of us really have any privacy to speak of as it is.

[ Every stay is Too Long. ]

That seems to be the story, though an unconfirmed one.

[It's not like that can be denied tbh.]

Yeah. Hard to confirm when you can't even find the people who brought us here. [A soft sigh.] I can say that if you try to circumvent their 'rules' while we're planetside, you typically get yanked back to your ship. Sometimes violently. [Like that burly wolfish man that one day. Poor Bigby.]

[ Bigby is a blessing to us all. ]

Their power and capability isn't something that I'm denying. The motivation, however, is full of holes.

The secrecy is needless if it's true, isn't it?

[Truly, his pain is a wonder for our continued ease of living.]

It is, but perhaps that's their preference. Maybe it amuses them to keep it all from us. I suppose there could be more to it than what we realise, too.

There's obviously more to it than we realize; that's the point. If they're amused... well, it's no worse than serving as cheap entertainment. Both are equally detestable ideas.

[Ah, he's going to be one of those.]

Evidently, we do get paid based on our 'entertainment', so if you're amusing someone, I guess you're better off for it. You'll find no disagreement on it being detestable from me, though.
