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!

Your guess is as good as mine, Tek... [he pauses, pinching the bridge of his nose.] It's projecting a piece of time, for all I know.

[there's a pause while he actually considers this. it's still an outlandish notion to him, but it's something]

...They know our memories, then.

Maybe... [it'd make a lot of sense to him. he'd prefer that these people were manipulating them very specifically, having planned the place out according to personality... he likes the attention.] Someone does.

[and having had a long streak of being able to completely dodge his past and the consequences that come with it, Tek is not quite as pleased about this revelation.

he's quiet for a minute, deeper in thought than he usually delves in public... but Robin hardly counts on that front anyway. brooding in a bit of silence, he compulsively lifts a hand back to fidget and dig fingers at the augmentation in his skull.]

[...well, one of them has to stop being all bothered and conflicted, so after a little while, he raises his voice and pushes over the sound.]

...Hey, come on. It's probably just to get a rise out of us anyway.

[and that makes Tek break out into a pointedly insincere smile. at least he lowers his hand again, though.]

Well, it's working.

[he can play this game. insincere smiling? his specialty.]

Maybe all of our answers and more will be waiting for us.

Of course they are. How could we possibly refuse a lure like that?

[he laughs.]

Disgusting.
