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!

It... Sounds kind of like a party? Like the kinds that would get thrown back home...

[you know, in fairy land. the place we don't talk about.]

It's kinda freaking me out.

A party...? Yeah, the kind of music I'm hearing is not what you'd play for one of those. I mean, unless it's not a good party.

[Like the one where they talk about killing people party. But yes, let's not talk about it]

Yeah...maybe it's supposed to freak us out.

Ugh, can we not get freaked out? Can we just stay in quirky space-land and not get to the part where things get creepy?

Space doesn't have to be creepy. Space can be nice. Cute little aliens and shit.

Not this... Soul-tapping weirdness, or whatever.

Right...well..that's good!

It'd suck if they were munching on our souls as well as playing stuff from the past.

No kidding. Well... If anyone starts going crazy or getting overly irritated, turn it off. It's probably mind control.
