01 - video/action

Who: Winn & you!
Broadcast: video
Action: on the Marsiva
When: now!

action;

[ it's the smell that makes the first tug towards wakefulness, or rather the lack of it - over the years, winn's gotten used to waking up to a familiar aroma of an apartment that's just a little too dusty, has just a little too many clothes that really should have been washed yesterday lying around, maybe some residual takeout smell that still lingers from the night before because he's forgotten to properly ventilate - none of it is hitting his nose now, and his mind is not taking it well. groaning, and rubbing his eyes with one hand, his other reaches for his bedside table to pick up his phone - only to hit air.

well that's weird.


eyes finally blinking open, he finds himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. shifting in bed - he finds himself falling to an unfamiliar floor.

what the hell?


he's dreaming, right? he has to be dreaming. or maybe it's a freaky fantasy like the one kara was stuck in - though why would anyone waste disgusting alien hallucinatory-leach things on him? and besides, this - this looks absolutely nothing like his ideal fantasy world! well, just in case it'll work (he'd fill really silly if he passes up the simplest solution for being too simple and it'll end up being all that it takes!), he shuts his eyes tightly, pinches his arm, and mumbles to himself ]

I hella reject this fantasy. You are rejected, fired, gone!

[ opening his eyes again, he finds that unsurprisingly - the only change that transpired is that his arm now aches. well, what else was he expecting? pulling himself up to his feet, he decides he might as well try to figure out where he is - and how to get out of here.

and then he spots the window. blurting out a girly scream, he turns his back to it, his knees nearly buckling under him, and his face losing color. slowly, he turns back towards it and chances another peek, chuckling nervously at his own behavior, trying to ridicule his fear away ]

That's a pretty good green screen -

video;

[ the face that appears on your screen is pale and clearly very shaken. actually, he kinda looks like he's going to be sick, doesn't he? good thing that space tech isn't 7-D! ...unless it is in which case, now would be a pretty bad time to find that out... ]


I got a couple questions for -- whoever's watching this - or - [ he looks around, waving his free hand to gesture around the room - wherever the less voluntary cameras may be ] this - If this is a reality show, when's elimination? Cuz I - I volunteer to go home! I mean let's face it, there is no point to keep me in the running - unless elimination's actually eh, elimination [ he runs his finger against his throat to illustrate his point ] in which case -- my vote is still on home, thanks -

This...isn't really space, is it? [ he chuckles nervously ] I know 'beam me up' was my birthday wish for like 3 years running, but you're over a decade late and this is so not what I had in mind - [ he clears his throat. not the point! and not something he needed to share with - potentially an entire galaxy. actually, this whole broadcast was probably pretty dumb, way to make himself easy prey. ok, no worries! he can still salvage this! ] Anyway! Little help, a lotta help, Xanax, I'll take what you got, thanks. [ clearing his throat again ] Over? [ nailed it. ]

[ Kara pops up in a video, shock on her face, but also excitement and probably a billion other emotions ].

Winn? Oh my god, Winn!

How did you— when did you get here?!

It's really space. [Kitty looks him over appraisingly.]

You talk a lot when you're nervous?

Sorry, but you're definitely in space. And drugs aren't going to help.

[ Have a green-skinned alien girl giving you a once-over, Winn. ]

[There's a flicker of a smile.] We can just pretend I'm extremely intuitive if you want. [She is decent at reading people. She spent a lot of time around an FBI profiler in her last multi-dimensional trap, but this didn't really take skill.]

I don't think your request is going to be honored, but it'd be a hell of a thing if that's all it took all this time.

You told me not to tell you it's space. What am I supposed to say?

[ this is not a deescalation tactic, kara ]

[She gives a little shrug.] Pretty sure it doesn't hurt. [She hadn't heard about them exacting revenge on anyone and she's sure people had tried something more than asking.]

Only a month for me. Longest I've heard is a little over a year.

Winn, you're in space, but it's not so bad, so maybe calm down for a second so I can explain what's going on? It's just, I don't know. It's not that bad.

[ it's so hard for her not to be on the Marsiva with him whyyyyy ]

From what I've heard they let the winner go home. And the winner has the highest ratings. I'm not really buying that story. As far as the people who leave...no idea where they go. [There may be a story people tell, but she's not aware of it. And even if she was she probably wouldn't accept it as the truth.]

I get it. It's really weird. Or, like, weird doesn't begin to cover it. We kind of don't exactly know who got us here, or how, or what the point is, but I've been here for over a month and the people here are really nice and they keep us sheltered and fed. I'm going to get to the bottom of all of this. I want you to know that. But panicking about things won't make it better, for now. As far as I can tell, we're safe.

And I'm actually really happy to see you. I missed you. I miss everyone.

[ she's assured, yes, and optimistic, but there's truth in her voice—relief at a familiar face ]

[ That's probably because she isn't murder-y. ]

Help? Well, there's no pill. You're stuck here, I'm afraid, just like the rest of us. You'll have to get used to it. But if you have questions, I can try to answer them.

You did?

I think we're in a Phantom Zone—don't freak out, I just mean, maybe time is doing something weird here, so it doesn't impact stuff at home.

I hope.

I don't think there was a fake me. That would be a lot, even for me.

[ Winn, she knows you weren't here a few weeks ago when she lectured the fleet for this very thing, but still. Her sigh is rather long-suffering. ]

Yes, I'm green. I'm not human, I'm Twi'lek.
