first song.

Who: some loser and you
Broadcast: fleetwide!
Action: marsiva
When: now

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, fuck. Okay, breathe. Breathe.

[Muttered, eloquent first words from an extremely eloquent girl who then turns to stare into the camera, looking like she's about ready to hyperventilate.]

Okay, I don't know who's watching this, but if anyone can see this and has any fucking clue what's going on, I'd really appreciate some answers. I have no idea whose realm I'm in or, like, anything else, and I figure I have like twenty seconds before I start seriously freaking out, so, you know...

[she stops rambling for a moment to take a deep breath.]

Just talk to me if you can hear this.

[for those aboard the marsiva, she can be found pacing around hurriedly, keeping an eye open for anyone. if she spots you, she freezes in place for a moment, uncertain as to whether or not you can be trusted.]

Uh... Hey there.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

And to think, we haven't even gotten to discussing the chips in our brains yet.

[deep breath. deeeeep breath.]

Can we, uh... talk about that later?

Of course. But...

... Sorry. It only gets freakier from here.

I'm pretty sure anything will make me freak out less than that.

We're currently bound by a contract we never signed, to deliver bullshit cargo to a place which had no idea cargo was incoming. As a result of our suspicious, likely illegal cargo, all of our bank accounts are frozen and we can't use any of the money we've gotten here. Which is how we acquire food that isn't paste.

Okay, yes, that is complete bullshit, but it's not going to make me lose my shit.

Where are you?

My ship, the Bishop. You'll be moved out to a ship at one point- Probably the weekend. Whichever one it is seems to be random, especially now that most of the ships appear to be over capacity.

Okay. How hard is it to get from ship to ship? I mean, I assume it's different than going to someone else's dorm, since we're in space and all.

Actually, not really. Do you know what augment you have?

How do I check?

You know how at some games, the Echoes would just sort of shove the knowledge of the rules into your head, so you know what to do? The augment information feels a bit like that. Just figure out what you know that's new now.

Okay.

[thinking about it for a few moments]

Um, some first aid, how to use lab equipment... Stuff like that.

Oh, lab support... You get to be a medic, apparently.

Each ship comes with a shuttle you can use to get to the others, or down to whatever planet or station we're at.

Wait, seriously? That is... an extremely poor choice.

Okay. Is it hard to use?

I'm pretty sure I got my augment because they were mocking me.

Not really? If someone on the ship you get to has a pilot augment, you can ask them to show you how.

What is it?

Cool. Can I head over to your ship whenever I figure it out?

[SO HEY LOOK WHO'S SUSPICIOUSLY SILENT ON THAT PART]

Of course. The Bishop's probably the biggest ship, or at least we have the most people, so it won't be hard to find.

Come on. You know you can tell me anything.

Okay. See you soon, then, hopefully. And... I'm really, really glad you're here.

I can think of a couple things I regret telling you.

[LIKE THAT ONE MEMORY.]

... Yeah. I'm glad to see you again, too. A familiar face helps in a place like this, right?

Ah, so harsh. I'm heartbroken.

[a small laugh]

So I'm downgraded to a familiar face now, huh?

Well, last time I tried to call you my friend, you thought I was about to give some kind of confession.

...Uh. Wait, what?

... What, do you not remember that?

No, I do, but that was like... Months ago.

... Uh. I mean, it was, but... I came here only a couple of weeks after that.
