Who: you!
Broadcast: video
Action: Marsiva
When: right now tbh

[when the screen turns on, there's nothing but blackness for a few minutes, followed by a string of very angry-sounding curses. There's the sound of fumbling before a woman's face comes into frame, and she squints at the camera before her eyebrows turn down in a scowl.

Someone is not happy]

If this is supposed to be some sort of joke, then I am not laughing. Though I find it rather cute that you seem to have made your walls fire-proof.

We shall see what else your bloody ship can stand up to. Return my damn weapons.

[that's it, that's all she has to say. With a huff, she fumbles and manages to end the feed]

Oh! You're from one of the memory loss places. Well, I met those two here. Mostly. [Since she kind of knew Charles from the prison still. But he could still walk.]

I'm Kitty Pryde.

Yes, I am. Kyriakos, if specifics are necessary.

[. . . introductions are hard. She wrinkles her nose] I am Aurae Le Paulmier, but I go by Tempest or Clover. Well met, Kitty. Shite circumstances aside.

That was a lot of options. Do you have a preference?

Not Aurae. Otherwise, I do not have a preference.

Tempest it is then. I guess. [It was the one she remembered first.] Kyrakios seems like a popular place.

It was a hell hole, so who knows why it's so bloody popular.

It probably prepares you for better ratings here. Maybe the audience likes angst for survivors' stories.

I do not understand what ratings are . . . nor do I care what the audience likes. The audience can go fuck itself.

[the curse comes out a little awkwardly; it's been a while since she's actually felt like using curses like that]

Nor should you. They just state that it's one of their priorities assuming they're telling they truth.

Do you think that they are?

I...I don't know. Not really. I think these places are all just different kinds of experiments.

[her expression darkens for a moment before she huffs]

I would not be surprised.

Neither would I. But just because it's the kind of thing I'd expect doesn't make it true.

No, but it is fine to expect and believe that things are not as they seem. Or as they have been presented.

Definitely seems like a safe bet. Plus, I don't exactly want to think about an audience for everything I do.

Nor do I. How annoying.

I'm not sure why the thought of being experimented on is more appealing to me though. Maybe I should have that checked out. [Little smile.]

[HA HA HA oh look something off-screen is suddenly interesting]

You really should. I can assure you that it is not as appealing as it seems.

[Little smile fades.] Yeah, your last stop seems like it was a little harsh from what I've heard. I know from back home too, but not from personal experience.

It certainly was no - holiday? I think is the word. [though she has to wonder who's been speaking about it; their experiences certainly differed depending on what team they belonged to]
