Who: Sora (AU)
Broadcast: Video!
Action: Marsiva
When: Today!

[The background area of the video feed looks very much like the empty hospitality deck Marsiva. And not unusual for newcomers, the network doesn't seemed to be noticed right away. Instead the boy on the other side looks more startled at his new surroundings. Because you know, it's not every day you wake up in SPACE]

Hello?!

[Yep. A completely empty ship. This is definitely creepy. He takes a few steps away from the camera, looking around and calling out]

Simba...! [a pause] Oh c'mon, this is no time to be messing around!

[And of course, there's no response. When he speaks again, he sounds more uncertain] ...Simba? ...Anybody?

[Then when there is still no response and he starts to become very sure he's alone, he rubs his arms and keeps eyeing the place warily as he mutters:] Great. Now what do I do?

Looking for a cat?

[there are a zillion cats named Simba, he's pretty sure]

[Well at least by now he's been introduced to the communicator]

A Shinx- [Because everyone knows what that is, right?] Have you seen him?

I'm going to assume not.

[Even ignoring that pets generally don't follow people here, as far as he knows...]

I have no idea what that is, though.

You don't?

[he sounds a little surprised. But hey, there's a lot of pokemon. It's hard to know them all. Sora sure doesn't]

He's a... [what's that word to describe it] - He looks like a lion? Does that sound familiar?

[a lion

named Simba

really]

Yeah, I know what lions are. So is it like a hybrid or something?

[#disneythuglife]

Uh...I don't think so? [He looks confused] I mean, I guess one of his parents could be a Ditto- but I think it'd be rude to ask him something like that.

[it's like they're speaking different languages, what is even going on here]

I'm not sure that animals give much thought to their parentage, so I doubt that.

[Sora's thinking the same thing. Then again, he's used to the Union people not making a lot of sense so it doesn't bother him as much...]

Yeah...maybe. [Maybe this guy doesn't work with Pokemon a lot. That'd explain it.]

[Still, it's disheartening to hear that Simba might not be here. Where was he then? Then again, where was-]

Hey- do you know where this is?

[Ahaha... ha. Ha. About that.]

Specifically? Not really. In space somewhere. This is a fleet of ships that just sort of flies itself around. We're all stuck here.

[...]

Ha....You're kidding, right?

Go find a window and ask me again.

[This would be a very elaborate prank.]

A window? What kind of joke is this...

[Oh. That is very much a window over there. And outside is looking very...spacey]

[ -- Holy crap. He's in space.]

What-?!

How is this-?!

[He's in space. He's somehow in space. He was in Union, and now he's in space. Not even on his planet anymore. In. Space.]

WHAT?! [Behind him as he yells, a couple of the light fixtures inexplicably burst into shattered pieces. Whoops]

Edited 2016-03-25 05:24 (UTC)

[Poor guy. It would be funny if it wasn't sort of expected by now.]

Yeah, I hear you. Welcome to the fleet.

[Sora meanwhile is in the middle of a freak out. This is bad. This is so bad. He doesn't even think about watching his words during his panic]

I can't be in a fleet! I gotta get home! [Finding home from Union was going to be hard enough- but now this?!] Surely there's gotta be a mistake!

Try to calm down. I know it's crazy, but freaking out won't do anything.

[He's probably the worst person for this, sorry Sora.]

It's not a mistake, though. We were definitely brought here on purpose.

Calm down?! How am I supposed to calm down after this?! [Annd there goes another light fixture. Good thing this guy's not on your ship huh.]

[Sora seems oblivious to the light fixture, and instead starts pacing around as he's trying to work his frazzled mind through this. Be patient, he runs on Windows.]

And what purpose is that?!

I- ...okay, maybe you should leave the room first? It sounds dangerous over there.

[And it's getting darker. What the heck is going on?]

Dangerous-!?

[Brb looking around for monsters]

But...it's just me in here.

You and all the exploding electronics, apparently?

[Dude. Dude.]

Exploding-?

[And now he notices the blown out light fixtures. Which, um-]

...Crap.

Yeah, see?

[Why does he not seem very surprised by this.]

Are you okay?

[Gah...this is a mess. Sora immediately goes into his routine apologies]

I'm really sorry! I'll clean it up, swear!
