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!

[Whoo. That was a ride. Shirley stumbles for a moment, trying to regain her balance.]

Is this what it's like for you all the time?

[Varric does not fall on his ass, but he is suitably gasping and freaking out.]

Andraste's sanctified ass!

[He needs a moment. He bends over, resting his arms on his knees, just to make sure they're still there.]

Phew. That was... something.

Kind of. I mean, I've been doing it... a while... [ Just about since he was born, actually. ] So I've never really had the...

[ He holds his hand out flat and then wobbles it. The dizziness. ]

You okay there, Doc?

[Shirley manages to get back on her feet after a moment, and once she does she starts hovering around Varric just slightly. He probably doesn't need help, but just in case...]

Is it something that you have to get used to?
merchantprince: (♪ and some you'll do for fun)

[He shakes his head quickly, as if he just sprayed himself with water to wake up. After that he straightens and faces the others.]

Yeah, I'm good. I've never been so happy to see dirt in my life.
misconceived: (✇I will not fall)

Yeah, you get used to it. At least it's not as bad as orbing. [ Because Chris will take every chance possible to give whitelighters shit. ]

Anyway. Here we are. There's a building over that way, I noticed.
hearsthesea: (have to do my best)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-01-30 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Good idea to check that out, then. Shirley ceases her hovering and looks straight over at the building. There's a number of somethings surrounding it, although she can't tell what at this distance.]

Did you see what was around it?
