Who: Pyrrha and you!
Broadcast: fleetwide video
Action: on the marsiva
When: now!

[Pyrrha wakes with a start. Stress and panic are apparent on her face, and she needs to take a few seconds to drop her face into her hands so that she can reorient herself and make an attempt at calming herself down. After a few deep breaths and several seconds to try to put herself back together, she pulls her head up and glances around, and then gets out of bed. She knows what a camera feels like, and she knows that there's one there. So, in the hopes that someone will hear her, she speaks:]

Um... hello? I'm not sure if anyone can see or hear this, and I'm not sure what's going on, but... I need some answers. Like where we are now. I'm Pyrrha Nikos, of Beacon Academy. [She pauses, considering what she wants to say next. Her voice grows stronger as she continues, too.] I demand to be released. I need to find my team—I'm not sure if they're here or not, but I need to find them. I was doing something important, too, so I apologize for being unable to stay.

[And for those on the Marsiva: Pyrrha's wandering around, though mostly keeping to herself. When she does approach people, though, she offers a subdued smile and a hello. She mostly wants to see if other people are doing okay, and also being kidnapped gives her something to focus on because people might? Need help. Also, she wants to get to know people.]

[So, the relaxed expression of a different team's member is probably not what you expected to see, is it, Pyrrha? Blake normally doesn't like responding to these, but... well, it's someone she knows. So that helps.]

Pyrrha? They brought you here now, too?

[Blake! Blake is a relief. She can handle a Blake. Blake is not Jaune, Ren, or Nora but she is from RWBY and RWBY is good.]

I... suppose they did. Hello, Blake.

[fedupwithyourbull]

You're not alone from Remnant here, at least. Yang is here, and we're told Weiss used to be here, but she's gone now. And Penny, Ruby's friend from Atlas.

[Helping!]

[achillesheels]

[Helping is appreciated! Yang is also good, though the mention of Penny causes a split second of distress to play across her face before it disappears.]

That's... good. Do you know anything about Jaune? Or Ren and Nora?

[fedupwithyourbull]

They aren't here.

... The last thing Yang and I remember from home is the end of the doubles round, as well. Yang and Weiss had just defeated Team FNKI. It seems like Penny remembers things from our future.

[achillesheels]

[Her heart falls a little when she hears "they aren't here", but Blake and Yang, and to a degree, Penny, are all better than the other people that could be here from Remnant.]

I'm from... later than Penny is. Not much later. But I remember more than just Yang and Weiss against Team FNKI.

[fedupwithyourbull]

... I see.

[Blake is no stranger to someone getting fucked over by higher powers, and she had a hunch this would be the case.]

I don't know very much about what happened, but... It sounded bad.

[achillesheels]

... Bad may be an understatement, Blake.

[She sighs, rubbing her face a bit tiredly.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

Right.

[she is not supposed to be the social one, how does she deal with this?]

... Are you okay?

[achillesheels]

I will be soon.

[The answer is no, but she has no choice but to pull herself together as far as some other feelings go.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

... Right.

[Sorry, Pyrrha, she doesn't buy it.]

When you're off of that ship, we should meet up and talk, if you're up to it.

[All Blake really knows it's that whatever happened, it was bad. And she doesn't like not knowing bad things. In the White Fang, bad intel could lead to fatalities, or worse, and some habits she still hasn't shaken.]

[achillesheels]

I'd... I'd like that a lot, actually. It'd be nice to be around some familiar people, with everything that's happened.

[fedupwithyourbull]

... Right.

We should... probably tell you what's going on here, too.

[achillesheels]

I'd appreciate that, too. The more I know about... wherever here is, the better.

[fedupwithyourbull]

... Feel right here, but do not use your Semblance near it.

[She brushes her hand at the bump at the base of her head, where the implant is.]

[achillesheels]

[She does, though her expression seems to darken a bit even as she the place that Blake indicated.]

I won't. I can assure you that I won't.

[fedupwithyourbull]

As far as we know, that's the reason we can understand everyone from all the different worlds here.

[achillesheels]

Then... it's useful, at least.

[Though she doesn't like the idea of it, but being able to communicate is always a huge plug.]

I'm not very comfortable with the idea, but I suppose it is what it is.

[fedupwithyourbull]

I don't like it, either.

We've been taken onto these ships to participate in a reality TV show. You'll be assigned to one of the proper ships on the weekend. We're being watched, apparently constantly.

We were made to carry 'cargo', to deliver it to the station we're currently docked at, but the station heard nothing of it, and the suspicious cargo was enough to freeze our accounts of money. And the cargo in question was just gumballs.

[achillesheels]

I'm not sure I see how suspicious gumballs are, unless it was purely for the sake of creating more drama for the television show.

This is all good to know, at least.

[fedupwithyourbull]

I don't know either. It's probably just the drama, unless there's something in them the Atroma are using us to smuggle.

[achillesheels]

Perhaps. The Atroma could have a darker side to them, too, though that is not going to be common knowledge, I'm sure.

[fedupwithyourbull]

They've kidnapped us, are forcing us to smuggle something even if it's harmless, and have forced us under the scrutiny of more worlds than we ever knew existed.

I would say they have nothing but a darker side.

[achillesheels]

Then... we'll have to find out more about the Atroma. [She wants to think there's something good going on somewhere, but after everything that happened in Vale, she knows what the reality of the situation could potentially be too.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

That's the goal, but they seem to be out of our reach. For now.

[Sorry, Pyrrha. Blake doesn't believe in good things happening.]
