(no subject)

Who: Erik Lehnsherr & anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide video, unintentional
Action: The Marsiva
When: 26th Feb

[When the feed begins, Erik is already awake. Awake, but not yet moving from the bed. He's holding himself in the kind of intense stillness that preludes a burst of activity. And it comes shortly after, as he rolls swiftly to his feet and surveys the deck. This isn't the mansion, that much is clear. Nor is it part of any realm he's been in that he can tell. His brow furrows as he glares daggers into a featureless wall. While there is nothing of particular interest about it - it's just a wall - he seems to be observing something he finds off-putting about it.

He shakes his head abruptly, a quick jerk of the chin.]
No. [With nothing further to say than that, he turns and stalks out of frame, with only a cursory glance at the communicator left behind.

Ten minutes pass, the feed holding on a truly exciting shot of that empty bed and floor.

But soon enough he re-enters the frame, wearing an expression somewhere between frustrated and resigned. This time, he does notice the communicator. After a considering pause, he walks over, reaching out ... and turns it with a finger, pointing the camera at the wall. His voice rings out clearly a moment later.]


If someone is watching, I'd appreciate an explanation. I haven't got much patience for these kinds of games anymore.

Wow. What a fascinating wall. I'm sure it appreciates you talking to it.

If I were a wall I might find it a little hard to object.

—Oh, shit. So that's what you were implying with the whole "another game" thing.

Yeah. Epona, right? I didn't really want to freak you out more if you didn't remember it.

Man. That's gotta be one of the biggest letdowns ever.

Opal, by the way.

Yeah, I assume most people would be.

A month or so now, probably. I'm not desperate enough to count the days yet.
robitussin: (and you graduate early)

Do you know what reality TV is?

It's a show where you supposedly get to watch people just living their lives normally. Congrats, you're an unwilling participant in front of the entire universe.

Well, yeah, that's the thing. I doubt anyone here has a good idea of what normal life would be like even if we weren't kidnapped into space. I think they probably went for whoever would be entertaining instead of normal people.

Yeah. Welcome to the "officially weird enough to entertain the universe" club, I guess.
robitussin: (if they love each other)

Yep. Sort of like teams back in Kyriakos, only there's no games here.

Mine's called Pathstone.

Yep. Here's hoping you don't get stuck with obnoxious crewmates, I guess.
robitussin: (and turn me on)

Yeah. I mean, you did have Yato on your team and all.

Yeah, that's fair. Pretty hard to imagine dealing with someone more obnoxious, at least.
