o1;; You didn't see that coming?

[silvercast]

Who: Pietro & You!
Broadcast: yes
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Right now

[ Video;; ]
[ The video feed shakes, the audio cracking as the communicator is moved around. The broadcasting image so far is the floor, covered in multicolored confetti, and a pair of black and grey running sneakers in view. The left foot taps impatiently before the video swings again to the bridge of the Bloodsport. ]

[ There is a sigh before heavily accented voice accompanies the shoddy cameraman-ship. ] If this is someone's idea of a prank, it lacks humor.

[ The communicator finally turns around, and Pietro is very firmly not happy with this situation. ]

I have complaints.


[ SS Bloodsport;; ]
[ Pietro can be found in various places throughout the Bloodsport. In the kitchen, trying to figure out what the deal with protein paste is. The bridge offers a bit of a distraction with the endless sea of stars or the array of broadcast settings, and how can he resist settling into the bunks? It's been a very long time since he's had his own room. ]

[namisan]

Yeah. [She grins, though. Finger gun for you.] Thanks for the idea, though. I'm just very curious now.

[silvercast]

I suppose it will reveal itself to us in time. I've heard these planetary locals don't know anything about this supposed show?

[namisan]

Nope. Not a single person I've ever met outside the Fleet has heard of us.

[silvercast]

Of course not. Why would they? Clearly, intergalactic kidnapping is such an unheard of phenomenon, we must be tourists.

[namisan]

The problem is, even if the governments of this place could intercede, that'd... still kind of leave us high and dry in the middle of space with no sure way to get home.

[silvercast]

So, the best thing to do until we figure out a plan is to play along.. [ He wrinkles his nose, shaking his head. ]

[namisan]

Sucks, doesn't it? Though you don't have to do much to "play along"-- find something you can tolerate to keep yourself occupied, pretty much. [She smiles faintly.] I run a bar on the Iskaulit, so that keeps me busy enough.
