First Mission - Video/Action for the Marsiva

Who: Laura Kinney/X-23 and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: For the Marsiva
When: March 1st

[Broadcast]

[When the feed clicks on, it's a close up of Laura sleeping on one of the cots on the Marvisa, her fingers coiled around a silver locket hanging from her neck, and she looks...almost peaceful?]

[But it's a very short moment, as after a few seconds, her eyes spring open, and for a few more she doesn't move, perfectly still, not even breathing, just listening to her surroundings. When she sits up finally, it's a single smooth motion that sends the communicator spinning off the bed and clattering to the floor, filming upward as the teenager stands, her hands balled into fists. She was dressed in a black leather jacket, a purple tanktop and dark blue jeans, and would have looked like a pretty normal teen if not for the intense expression on her face. Slowly she scanned the room, head tilted to the side as she listened to the sounds of the ship, and...sniffing? Was she smelling the ship?]

[Not getting whatever information she was hoping for, she turns and kicks the phone by accident, glancing over as it skittered away and then crouching down to scoop it off the floor. She frowned as her eyes search the screen, and after a few seconds, she finds the right button and the feed cuts out.]

[When it kicks back on, perhaps fifteen minutes later, it's pointed at one of the viewports on the ship, out at the stars, and Laura can be seen standing behind it on the reflection of the glass. She looks...uncertain now, hesitant, clearly her exploration did not turn up what she wanted it to. Finally she addresses the camera without turning it towards herself.]


Where am I?

[Action]

[Laura could be found moving quietly around the hospitality ship, mostly keeping to herself, sometimes sitting where she could look out the windows or where she could watch other people without being particularly intrusive, or just watch the feeds on her communicator. She was studying the ship, studying the people, studying the situation, trying to figure out what she could learn before she made any decisions about what to do next.]

[She was a bit jumpy, honestly, though not to the point of being dangerous yet. But if there was one thing X-23 hated, it was being held prisoner, and this ship was certainly a prison. In moments where she thinks she is alone, one of the long, metal claws slides out from between her the knuckles on her right hand and traces patterns on her forearm, X's and O's mostly, just deep enough to cut, not deep enough to last more than a few seconds with her heeling factor. It's not a good thing, but it helps her focus, helps her deal...]

[Kitty's eyes open a little wider as she turns the feed on. She recognizes the girl though not from her own world. As far as Kitty knows she was never born there. She met a version of her in the prison though. And the girl was an X-Man. What else mattered?]

Laura?

You're on the Marsiva somewhere in outer space. [Which is both uselessly specific and horribly vague.]
passingthrough: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-03-02 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
And yet, it is where you are.

Kitty Pryde. [She just watches Laura's face for signs of recognition. In the prison Laura had recognized her, but she knew she also looked different than she expected. For this Laura she may look even stranger or be completely unknown. Oh, the fun of reality hopping.]

That is a long answer but the short one is 'space'.

[And, because he has to comment on the sniffing. ]

...Does the Marsiva have a funky smell or something?

(Continued)

Far as I can tell, it ain't none of the usual suspects.

[Scary thing was, it might actually be because of the stated reasons. Entertainment.]

Nowhere good, sweetie.
passingthrough: (Calm)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-03-02 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from a different reality, so unless you remember MarinaNova, we've never technically met. There are other X-Men here too though.
shishkebub: (happy on the inside)

[personal profile] shishkebub 2016-03-02 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[That's awfully specific...]

Gambit, but he ain't ours. Him and a few others come from another 'verse.

[And he wasn't even aware Laura knew Jubilee enough to even ask about her.]
passingthrough: (Contemplative)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-03-02 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't really think you would have. [Which is too bad really, but she's not going to stew over it.]

Okay, so the rundown, we were all captured by the Atroma. They don't show themselves and rarely communicate. We're supposedly all part of a reality television show where we get paid for better ratings but the accounts for that are frozen right now anyway. You're on the arrival ship and in a few days or so you'll be shuffled out to one of the other ships in the fleet where you'll have more freedom, but no ability to actually leave. There's an implant in your neck that can't be removed [though she still wants to try] called an augment that will give you certain skills and knowledge in regard to the ship. Mine is for a pilot.

And hi. Missed that part.

...Yeah, that sounds about right.

[Super smell? Maybe? He doesn't know, he doesn't get all this magical powers stuff. ]

Anyway, you've been kidnapped by a group of people called Atroma. I don't know if you know what one is, most people don't, but you've been taken to be on their TV show.
passingthrough: (Surprise)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-03-02 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She really should have omitted that part as much as she is legitimately curious to see what happens she's not okay with Laura as a test subject.]

Hey!

Stop. Wait. No stabby!
passingthrough: (Wistful - Looking up)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-03-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, but cutting is something anyone can do, right? Knives are thing. So, I'm thinking someone has done this and failed already. So, let's skip the part with the bleeding and the pain until we have a better plan.
passingthrough: (Sitting - On the edge)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-03-02 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
As far as I know it's for giving us information. I don't trust them either. I've been told when you try to remove it, you're put in more pain than whatever your personal threshold for pain is. So, we should find out what's been tried already, so we can at least make new mistakes. [Watching her, not sure if she's going to go for the claw again, but since she can't get to the Marsiva there's not much she can do about it if she does.]

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2016-03-02 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You won't see any cameras, I have no idea HOW they're watching us, but they definitely are. The TV show might not even be real, but them keeping an eye on us? Very real.

They'll have put a chip in your head, it puts all the info about space and the job you're supposed to do. [Quickly: ] D-don't try to pull it out. It's...really not a good idea and you'll regret it.
