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]

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

[noprophecies]

Nor do I. How annoying.

[passingthrough]

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.]

[noprophecies]

[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.

[passingthrough]

[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.

[noprophecies]

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]

[passingthrough]

No holidays where you're from originally? Or just no turn of phrase like that?

[noprophecies]

Not in my language, no. But my understanding is that it means more than one thing - such as a date to be celebrated? Like our festivals.

[passingthrough]

That's right. Some day with some kind of applied significance. Religious or secular.

[noprophecies]

Mm, right. I learned the other meaning from a friend in Kyriakos.

[passingthrough]

Is your friend here too? [She knows there are several.]

[noprophecies]

It was Charles, actually. He spoke about going on holiday once.

[passingthrough]

He really gets around.
