Let the games begin!
[several days late, as has been the trend lately, the Shuffle's transmission plays for the Fleet.
...or, it tries anyway. the music doesn't even make it--just a punch of static with sad, scattered pieces of musical notes trying to struggle their way through.
when Diamond's voice is finally heard, it's only intelligible in three little bites.]
--Three disappearing from-- ... --new faces, so-- ... --Captain Halliwell--...
[and then the music blends strangely with other sounds, like someone flipping idly through broken radio stations. it takes some time for anything to come in clear, and every frequency turns up the same interference. it isn't until several minutes later that one signal suddenly stutters into clarity, and music begins to play.
wherever you are, they are playing your song! and if there are multiple people in the room, maybe the speakers nearest to each person are playing different songs, each specific to the closest passenger. and after the signal connects, the speakers will continue to play whatever song they started with, even if different passengers move toward or away from them, and will only play something else when the controls are messed around with. and the signals and machinery will continue to behave in this way sporadically, all through the month.]
ooc: the musical madness has begun! feel free to use this post as a mingle for interactions relating to shuffle day and the ensuing musical chaos. if you have any questions, please post them to the January ooc post!

Same deal where I am. Thing is, this ain't exactly Top 40 stuff I'm hearing. I don't think everybody's hearing the same thing, which is all kinds of bizarre and borderline impossible.

Are you guys getting... um... elven music?

I was trying to figure out where it's even coming from--it ain't from any of the other ships. It seems to be coming from a planet, but...

Right! Um... let me just...
[and there's an appropriate pause while he checks this out for himself. ...and then an extra pause while he mulls this over.]
...You think there are elves there, maybe?
no subject
I'm sure I don't know, but I'm usually a believer that most anything is possible. Really the only way to find out if there's elves there or not is to go there, right? [He grins a little.] I'm always up for a field trip.
no subject
Yeah, I guess you're right.
...Wow, it would really be great if there are elven temples there. They've got to know what's going on here. ...Or maybe they'll even help us get home.
