Who: Yang Xiao Long and You
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS wonderduck
When: Now

[When Yang turns on her communicator's video feed, one would assume she is broadcasting from her own bunkroom aboard the Bishop; however, Wonderduck crew members will likely recognize the room as one on their ship. In fact, it's more than likely they've seen Yang coming and going fairly often the past couple of days, as she's been visiting her seemingly unconscious partner, Blake Belladona.]

[After she passed out during the meeting between Blake, Yang, Penny and Pyrrha, Yang had carried her back to Blake's bunkroom on the Wonderduck, and ever since she's been checking in on her. Each time, leaving more and more concerned about the state of her friend. From what she'd been able to pull from the fleet's archives, this kind of thing was not exactly a rare occurrence; yet, it still had Yang worried. After several days of just sitting and waiting, her impatience gets the better of her, and that's what causes her to flip on her communicator and set it broadcast fleetwide. Maybe she can get some answers or find some small comfort from other fleet members who have some experience dealing with this kind of thing.]

Hey everyone...

So, from what I've gathered, it's not exactly odd for people in the fleet to more or less drop unconscious for a little while, only to wake up later a little different.

[A slighly worried look off screen before she returns to addressing the communicator.]

But how long usually does this whole coma-like sleeping thing typically go for? And... when people DO wake up... is it usually bad? I mean, like... do they wake up still as themselves? Or only after something "else" has happened to them?

Am I even making sense?

[That last question addressed more to herself. She sighs, shakes her head. Tries to sound a little more cheery, with only moderate success.]

Anyways, yeah, any advice or answers anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I was out for about a week or two when it happened to me, nothing happened before it, I just went to sleep and stayed asleep. Anyway, when I woke up, it was like I'd gone home for three years. I had all the memories from being at home, and I'd aged too. Which, according to my first mate isn't something that happened in the last place he was at. He pointed out that a lot.

Anyway, aside from being kinda disoriented because I hadn't been here in my mind for a long time, I was okay.

...I was kinda cold when I woke up if that counts for anything?

[Well, a few days after Yang makes this post, Blake finally starts to stir again.

She's clutching at her side, but that isn't too weird, right?]

[ Aaand here's a Penny. ]

How is she doing...? [ Penny she. Pretty much just said how she was doing. But okay. ]
