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!

[After a moment she lifts her head and comes nearer him, the better to listen to his music.]

[He tips his head back and lets his eyes close. It's been ages since he's heard a proper Cardassian song-- it's not a good idea when surrounded by people your species recently tried to conquer to indulge too much in your own culture.]

Mm. I suppose this is an attempt to be clever and raise 'ratings'-- but I must say, I do enjoy it.

I suppose it must be. [She wonders, what with how it interrupted the official transmission... but thinking about that can wait for this little while. This tune is melancholy, even if it's driven too. Hange's music box plings away in the room behind her.]

A little sad, no?
