Arrival broadcast

Who: Apollo + Others
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Now? Until shuffle?

Broadcast
[The camera shows a handsome, very built man sleeping in a bed. And it continues to show that for a very long time. Either is started broadcasting very early, or he's doing a very good job of pretending to be asleep when he's not.

When he does move, he sits up carefully, pushing his hair back from his face. He's wearing cargo pants and a plain white t-shirt that seems somehow too... mundane on him.

He gets up after a brief stretch and moves over to the communicator, picking it up and clicking it off without offering a word.]



On ship
[Apollo eventually emerges from his room, a bit somber and subdued. He wanders around in bare feet, moving quietly along the metal hallways. When he finds a window, he leans his hands against it, looking at the distant star at the heart of this system with undisguised longing.]

[With just a glance for a moment she thinks she's seeing Magneto. Not the youthful, brunette she's come to know here, but someone more akin to the one from world. Maybe even him exactly and she perks up, watching the figure as he shifts. But even if there are some general similarities it doesn't take much to realize it's a stranger instead. She could leave it there, but she's watched the man this long. It seems only right to respond.]

Not having the best day?

The Marsiva is probably a good a place for that as any. Do you know where you are? [He responses almost feel like someone who has just returned, but there could be other reasons for that.]
passingthrough: (Watchful)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-04-07 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that part's unsettling. [If she hadn't already tried to rip it out with great failure, she would be trying that.]

I say that like the rest of it is totally normal and expected or welcome. [Which it's obviously not.]

[Her gaze falls to the floor for a moment. That's not good. Kids shouldn't get caught in the middle of these things. Her mind rests on Charles for a moment before she moves on.] No one who comes here knowing people from home have been missing even if they've already been here for months. I'm not sure why, but maybe you're here and there somehow.

[And maybe he's not. She doesn't even know what the party line is on this for the Fleet or if there is one. The story at the prison was unsettling more than comforting. A duplicate who wouldn't commit crimes was supposedly in your place.]

[She nods along. There's no way to be sure that's it, but it's...reasonable? Not a bad thing to hold on to when you can't do anything more proactive about it in the moment. She never likes hearing about parents being separated from their children. It came up with Castle and Beverly too even if Beverly's son is older than her.

Kitty also wasn't expecting a two dads situation, but it's nice it came up before she asked about her mom or something.]


It wouldn't be by choice. [Not that it makes losing someone hurt much less.] It's a lot to take in on top of everything else to take in.

[Interesting name. Probably not the time to comment.] Kitty.

I'm sorry they separated you from her. [She's adding it to the list of things the Atroma will pay for.]

It's probably the cruelest thing I've seen from them. [But it's only been a couple of months. She figures it gets worse.]
passingthrough: (Sad - Longing)

[Is there a polite way of saying, no, they've all been dead for awhile?] Just from part of my team and friends from another multi-dimensional trap.
passingthrough: (Calm)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-04-08 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't disagree with that. She does think of them as family even if she doesn't always refer to them as such.] You have a team?
passingthrough: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2016-04-08 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it. Can't say I've ever been famous. [She has been recognized a few times by non-X-Men here, but they were people in the same line of work, so it hardly counts.]

The Authority, hm? [Sounds a little full of itself, doesn't it?] We're the X-Men.

A six year old with powers must make tantrums fun.
passingthrough: (Claws)

[Kitty's wedding wasn't even official because rabbis and judges were in short supply and civilization had fallen so who fills out paperwork?]

eXtreme? eXciting? I'm not sure. Possibly for the X-gene which gives us our mutations. Might have also been named partially after a friend of our boss' who died before the team formed.

A reality-bending toddler is now officially the most terrifying thing I can imagine.

[ He crosses his legs, sitting quietly for a few minutes before speaking. ]

It is hard to be away without your knowledge.

You don't have to be.

[ What a strange thing. A father, worried for their child. ]

[ He cocks his head, a foreign movement. ]

It may not be "good". It may be a waste. But it is your freedom to express, is it not?
