driftfleet | This just keeps getting better..

Who: Sanzo & you
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Marsiva
When: 1/13/16

[ Something's not right. Awareness comes swiftly, though he takes a moment to get his bearings before opening his eyes. One thing Sanzo is acutely aware of is the lack of pain. Unless he's managed to pass out for a solid week, there was no way-- not after him.

Ukoku Sanzo. God, they're so vastly out-classed by that crow bastard it's laughable.

Managing to look around, he doesn't recognize anything. The surroundings are too industrial. He's up immediately, reaching for his gun. ]

..Dammit.

[ Wherever he is, he's been disarmed. He listens attentively for a moment, though he doesn't hear any kind of activity. Joke's on them, he doesn't need his gun to deal damage. After he's had a look around, he ends up in the hospitality bay, face-to-face with an endless sea of stars. His brow furrows, mouth tipping into a deep scowl.

What the hell is this? It's not nothingness, so it's not as if his existence has actually been erased. And there's no way in hell that this is the heaven. Not that he'd want anything the gods had to give him, anyway. He'd rather rot in the ground and get some goddamn rest. ]

[ After he's positive this isn't some sort of trick, Sanzo wanders back to the cot he'd woken up on, noticing the communicator. With a bit of fiddling, he manages to turn it on and make a broadcast. ]

Whoever the hell decided this was a good idea, you made a big goddamn mistake.

[ He takes it in stride. ]

Why don't I send you the document that helped me when I first arrived? It should summarize all the key points for you.

[ After a few seconds, you have mail. ]

I'll give it a read.

[ He just has to figure out how to multitask on this communicator, first... ]

[ He does manage to figure out how to open it and gives it a quick skim. ]

Has anyone disappeared from here recently?

Not that I know of. I'm afraid I am quite new here, still.

Most don't hold out for too long before they reveal their long-winded plan.

While I do not doubt their ego, their restraint speaks for itself

How long before we hear from the oh-benevolent-captors? Any sort of schedule, or do they do as they please and watch us squirm?

It might be bit of both. Though I have yet to hear anything from them, personally. They might simply be the type who are content to watch while people rail uselessly against them.

[ How very like his own situation.. Watching from above and not interfering unless it messes with their plans. Typical fucking behavior. ]

Just my goddamn luck.

There is no such thing as luck.

[ Whoops, he hadn't meant to say that, but it was an automatic response. ]

Oh god, are you going to give a lecture about 'there is no luck, only fate?'

[ He scoffs, taking a drag from his cigarette and blowing it toward the screen. ]

Sorry, pal, I don't deal much into pre-determined fate. That's for me to decide.

No. Simply that I do not believe in luck. I do not fault others, but luck seems like an imaginary chance, made up to comfort or deceive.

[ Fate has many paths, and certainly there isn't only one to follow. ]

Good, because you'd be wasting your time.

That remains to be seen, since it is my time to use.

[ oh my GOD.. Sanzo just gives him a look. ]

Even I know when an argument is a lost cause.

I cannot speak for the arguments you have lost. But perhaps, I haven't lost that many.

How fortunate for you.

Yes, I'm well aware, though I doubt fortune had much to do with it.

Enlighten me.

On what, precisely?

Surely, you don't expect to enlighten one who considers himself enlightened?

Clearly, we have a different standpoint.

And that is beautiful in its own right.

[ ... ]

Yeah, sure.

That almost sounded believable.

I'm pretty good at that.

Are you now?
