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]

Comments

[athru]

Do we get popcorn while you do?

[ Because Raven is honestly too amused right now - she might have joined the other woman if she wasn't already so settled. ]

[noprophecies]

I don't know? Is that not a - what is it, a junk food?

[are you ready for her taking everything literally, 'cuz that's what's going to happen]

[athru]

It's what you're supposed to eat when something entertaining happens.

[ Like new people suffering. ]

[noprophecies]

I don't understand. Why does it have to be popped corn?

[athru]

It's just a thing. I don't know why people decided popped corn was the go-to for watching things, it just is.

[noprophecies]

It seems a little ridiculous.

[a pause]

What do people eat if it is not entertaining, then?

[athru]

Whatever they want. I guess when you're sad you eat ice cream?

[ And now she has a craving. ]

[noprophecies]

. . . one must be sad to eat ice cream?

[if that's the case a bunch of people have some 'splainin' to do]

[athru]

Not necessarily, but it's a good thing to try and get when you are sad.

[noprophecies]

. . .

[there is some serious consideration going on here]

What is one supposed to eat when one is angry, then?

[athru]

Whatever makes you feel really good. Probably sugar, or something with alcohol in it.

[ She's not exactly an expert, here. ]

[noprophecies]

Alcohol does seem appropriate.

[if only there was some up here]

[athru]

I wouldn't really know.

[ Since, haha, she had been banned thanks to her mutation. ]

[noprophecies]

That is a shame.

[she makes a noise] Regardless, I suppose I will do my best to be "entertaining". I would hate to disappoint.

[athru]

Yeah, something like that.

[ But at least Raven can huff a noise. ]

Trust me, a lot of the time you don't have to try.

[noprophecies]

I do enjoy being effective with little effort. [that makes her sound lazy, which is the exact opposite of what she is, but she could care less. She's still simmering in the anger of being kidnapped and all the nonsense of back home]

Damned voyeurs.

[athru]

Who doesn't? [ At least Raven can appreciate it, and she has to fight back her huffed laugh at the rest of the commentary. ]

If it makes you feel better you forget they're there most of the time.

[noprophecies]

Strange people, of course. [trust in Tempest to provide only the highest level of biting commentary about her situation]

It doesn't. I feel as though I should be making rude gestures whenever I have the opportunity.

[athru]

Sounds about right. [ But at least they're getting along and, hey, that's what she's supposed to be doing.

... And she keeps wanting to laugh, damnit. ] Why not. It couldn't hurt.

[noprophecies]

I am glad someone understands. [they certainly are, certain people would be proud.

She raises an eyebrow, then casually lifts a hand to flip the bird in some random direction, without looking away from the screen] Bastards.

[athru]

That's what I'm here for. [ Ha ha.

Raven can't help her snort of laughter, shaking her head. ] The Atroma are going to love you.

[noprophecies]

[she quirks a brief smile] And here I thought my charming threats have already won them over.

[athru]

Give them time. They like to play hard to get.

[noprophecies]

My, I certainly enjoy a challenge.

[athru]

Then you're definitely going to enjoy trying to track them down.
