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.

Yes, I'm on a fucking spaceship with no explanation at all, but I'm sure I'll be just fine.

That's the spirit. [water off a duck's back over here] What's your name?

Ugh. Opal.

Alrighty, Opal. What's your first question?

Can we start with where the hell I am and why?

The structure you're on now is called The Marsiva. It's where everybody first wakes up and stays anywhere from one to seven days while they wait to be removed and assigned to one of the other ships in the fleet. Protip: take advantage of the food while you're there. It's not as good on most of the other ships.

As for why, that's a little more vague. Supposedly we're kidnapped by a group called the Atroma to act as entertainment, but...I don't see how we could be entertaining. Their true motives are pretty muddled. Someone else might have a better idea of that, so I'd advise to ask around. Ask the Captains in particular since some of them might have gained their positions through longevity and experience.

...I've been kidnapped into some Star Trek bullshit. Figures.

Yeah, it's not an ideal situation.

Anything else I can answer?

Wrong. Not ideal is, like, breaking a nail. This has moved straight into the extremely fucked up category.

Why me?

'Fraid I don't have an answer for that one. It might be because you're extraordinary in some way, but it might be just as likely that they pick people randomly.

Yeah, it's definitely the random one. I'm not really extraordinary at all, and I mean that in a "I'm being realistic" way, not a "I have pathetically low self esteem" way.

That's fair. Then it's likely you just got taken randomly, unless there are other qualifiers of which I'm unaware.

Okay, next question! [this is kinda fun]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say we can't talk to the people who brought us here?

Not unless they contact us first. Which has happened a couple times. I believe two people by the names of Diamond and Bleu are the spokespeople for the Atroma, but they haven't contacted the Fleet very often. Or lately, I think. If you'd like to know more about that, you can ask for either Captain Clay or Nightingale, they both told me about them.

[pausing, and then becoming 1000% more serious and intent]

Wait, there's someone named Nightingale here? Do you know what she looks like?

Nightingale? She's a bit short, pretty, really long blonde hair. Is she a friend of yours?

She's my girlfriend. She's - really here?

[WHAT REALLY]

If that's her then she's definitely here! I just saw her a couple days ago!

Does she use magic and stuff, likes the color purple? Has a thing about water?

Edited 2016-02-03 07:30 (UTC)

Yeah. Holy shit... Blue eyes, knows how to cook really well, talks about a group of people called Takshaka?

T- Yeah! Yeah, I remember, she mentioned that when she first spoke to me!

Oh my gosh, she's your girlfriend? That's such wonderful news for you, Opal! I can see if I can get in contact with her but I think you'll be able to do it just as quickly- Do you know how to use your communicator to call people yet?

It's sort of like a cell phone, right? Does she have a number or do I just look her up by name?

You can look her up, but I think it's faster if you have her direct contact? I don't have it though. I can come over and help you figure it out if you want! [he's still kind of figuring it out himself]

No, I can figure it out. I know how cell phones work, and I know her real name, so it probably won't be too tough.

Got it. Then, good luck! I hope everything works out. I'm sure she'll be very happy to hear from you.
