Who: Hakkai and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Marsiva
When: Now!

[Hakkai rises back to consciousness very slowly, with a sense of dread whose source he can't immediately identify. He's cold, all the way down to his bones...but that's not surprising, he remembers, considering where they last were.

His eyes fly open, and he sits up in alarm. Although the fight was over, they were definitely not out of danger yet, wounded and in the open with no shelter. He hadn't thought he'd been so drained from healing Sanzo as to lose consciousness...

...but the surroundings that meet his eyes are definitely not a remote mountainside, and perhaps even more surprisingly, nothing hurts. Did someone find them? How long has he been asleep?

There doesn't seem to be anyone around, but he calls out anyway, a little hesitantly.]

...Is anyone there?

[No helpful villagers - or creepy scientists, as seems a little more likely in this kind of setting - make an immediate appearance, and he's fully healed and recovered from the chi drain of...whenever he was last conscious, so he gets up to look around.]

What sort of place is this...?

[ He appreciates calm people! A thoughtful finger taps his chin. ]

We've been brought here by the Atroma to be entertainment, this implant behind my ear is called an 'augment' and supplies me with information like what exactly is meant by 'spaceship' and how to use this communicator, and we can't go home until we win the game. And one of my traveling companions is also recently arrived. [ He smiles in a friendly way. ] Would you care to fill in any more details?

[incousinswithyou]

That's about it, for the most part.

[unless you want to talk about the supposed time travel]

Some don't believe there's an audience at all, but no other motive has been found yet.

[halfblinded]

Hmm. Any advice for what they find entertaining? [ Hakkai does not like this complete lack of control. At all. He's intently seeking any kind of leverage he can get, no matter how small. ]

[incousinswithyou]

I'd recommend drama. I don't exactly expect this to be high-brow entertainment.

[she doesn't look like the type to follow her own advice, though]

[halfblinded]

Well, perhaps we'll simply have to raise the bar on their expectations, then.

[ Still wearing a smile, one that's bright and just a little brittle. Being at the whim of uncouth people is even worse than being kidnapped. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[that's not a smile she's unfamiliar with, no.]

I'll assume you aren't talking about holding a classical music concert. [not with that smile]

[halfblinded]

[ The laugh that gets is a little more genuine than the smile, at least. ]

My musical skills leave something to be desired in any case, I'm afraid.
