Who: Jon Snow and you!
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Three Twins.
When: June 1st

[When the feed opens, the first thing seen is an empty bed. It's been slept in somewhat recently, you can see the mess the owner's left it in, but the owner himself is nowhere in sight--at least until someone picks the communicator up.

Congrats, folks, it's a new month and one of the first things you get to see is Jon Snow's deeply annoyed frown, framed by a shot of the--ceiling?]

And here I thought this fleet couldn't surprise me anymore. [From his exasperated tone, it's probably immediately obvious just what he thinks about this little surprise.] I hadn't been told anything like this would happen. Does it usually?

[And he turns the camera down towards his feet, which, currently, are floating a few feet off the ground. He pulls the camera back up towards his face, which is wearing an expression of utter annoyance.]

And when can I get back down?

[The feed ends right there, but curious souls can find Jon floating grumpily or trying to ineffectually steer himself along the corridors of the Three Twins! Looks like he's just gotten his first taste of an augment malfunction, and it's just made him immune to the ship's gravity drive.

What a lucky bastard.]

Comments

[reek]

[ There is nothing here except the sound of Theon Greyjoy laughing uncontrollably. You've given him a good chuckle, Jon. You and your misfortune. ]

voice;

[nedstarksbastard]

[flatly:] What now, Greyjoy.

[The day hasn't even started yet.]

voice;

[reek]

[ What better way to start off a day than with a good laugh? There's still a note of laughter in Theon's voice when he responds again. ]

Looks like you're in a predicament, Snow. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you're best left up there.

[beardstrokes]

No, this is a rather new occurrence. Congratulations. You're a trendsetter.

[nedstarksbastard]

[Oh, that's just great.]

I'd rather not be. [Okay, so if he kicks like this he can almost steer himself.] Do you know what might have caused this? Because if I've an idea of what happened, I might be able to find a way to keep both feet on the ground without having to tie weights to myself.

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Obi-Wan considers this problem thoughtfully. ]

I can probably help you get to the ground, though I'm not sure where you will find heavy enough weights to keep you grounded.

[fuga]

Perhaps the Atroma is testing you.

[ Because, why not. ]

Or perhaps they wish for you to die.

[nedstarksbastard]

If this is a test, then I don't care for it.

[A beat.]

And if they're trying to kill me, it doesn't seem to be working. [Now, if they were trying to stab him...]

[fuga]

I do not think any of us care for this place, nor the games it may well play with us.

[ She's being deadly serious, which is part of the problem. ]

Perhaps they shall open a door and you shall float away.

[passingthrough]

[Her first thought was that maybe he set the part of the ship that controls gravity on fire, but nothing else is floating.]

...This is new. Just happen?

[nedstarksbastard]

Aye, I was already floating when I woke up. [A pause, then:] I didn't break anything, before you ask.

[passingthrough]

Oh, I didn't think... [She so did. She's not even going to finish the lie.] So, huh. Floating. Not a normal thing from your world, is it?

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion is not laughing - Tyrion is concerned. Tyrion is currently going through his journals.]

You might be going through what people have called ... a malfunctioning augment. It doesn't seem to happen very often.

[He frowned, peering at Jon.] Do you feel otherwise ill? Outside of being without the ability to touch the ground, that is.

Video

[nedstarksbastard]

[Oh, good, his augment's malfunctioning. At least he now knows what's going on, even if he doesn't have the first idea where to start, and he's not about to try and figure out how to fix something that's implanted in his head.]

I'm told most people don't start floating when their augments malfunction. [Ugh.] Do you know how long these augments usually malfunction?

No, I feel well enough. Besides not being able to get down, anyway.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion started flipping through his journal again.]

Well, it can be a number of different things - you could have been de-aged. [Another page flip.]...Er, they can last up to two weeks, from what I have been able to gather.

[One corner of his mouth lifted, before he looked thoughtful.] Magnetic boots?

Audio;

[unbearablynaive]

When the ships lost power in the nebula several months ago, the artificial gravity was disabled and everyone was temporarily affected in the same manner. Magnetic boots should do the trick.

Audio;

[nedstarksbastard]

And where can I find those, then?

Audio;

[unbearablynaive]

Each ship is equipped with space suits for extravehicular activity. Magnetic boots are standard issue for those suits. it should be entirely possible to either wear the boots separately, or to wear the suit inside the ship.

[Jon, what?]

Are you floating in the air?

[Gods, he is definitely floating.]

Can you...tie yourself down to something?

[And still, somehow the sight is also very funny. His brother looks so annoyed while floating around.]

voice

[nedstarksbastard]

[Robb's lucky this is voice, because Jon is giving him the most dead-eyed look he has.]

Aye. Don't ask me how it happened, I was already floating when I awoke. [Deep sigh.] I'd do that if I could reach anything.

voice

[kingofbadlifechoices]

Must I come to tie you down?

[In his head Robb has the odd image of a floating Jon with a rope tied to his leg while someone hold said rope to move him along.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[This Vash has to see. No need to knock, right? Hope not as Vash is inviting himself right in.]

You... really are floating. And judging by the message this is not a normal thing that happens on your world, is it?

[Action]

[nedstarksbastard]

[Jon is now floating upside-down, and is just glaring balefully at his communicator now when Vash calls his attention. He stuffs the comm inside a pocket and glances up--or down?--at Vash and crosses his arms.]

No, it's not. [As blunt as ever, Snow.]

[resnipstance]

[Cheerily, helpfully:]

Oh! That's just anti-grav. The gravity in your room must be malfunctioning!

[nedstarksbastard]

It seems to work just fine for everyone else even when they step inside. It's just me. [Lucky him. Now he's upside-down.]
