4th Form

Who: Mystique and open.
Broadcast: Yes.
Action: SS Golden.
When: Now.

[During one of her brief stop offs between planets, Mystique has come across a package left for her in the Golden’s cargo bay. Opening up the box, she scowls at the contents. It’s an hour or so later that a broadcast goes up to the Fleet.] Does anyone want clothing?

[Panning the camera around her feed shows a selection of clothing laid out on the floor of the cargo bay, ranging over several centuries and decades of style, from similar to those they found on the previous Green planet, to more ‘futuristic’ styles as predicted by earlier eras.] I don’t need them. Don’t send them to me again.

[Oh shush you, you know how frustrating this whole thing would be.] Then you are more than welcome to it, though different reds to tend to clash. [Seriously, clothing was so... restricting.]

[ She has no idea; she just keeps taking things that everyone else has been 'given' by their sponsors. She's making quite a collection now. Still, she's sure vengeance will be had. ]

I won't wear it while I'm me. It might be nice to wear something almost flattering for a change.

I'll put it aside for you. [Before Mystique moved to pick it up, carefully folding it and adding it to the pile of other pieces others had claimed.] I take it you haven't found much on the planets we have been stopped at then.

Not really. A few daggers, some interesting looking laser weapons, but nothing really incredible to wear. It's the same for you, then?

The weaponry is certainly interesting, and I am using my talents, [It felt a little weird to word it like that now, considering who she was talking to. Was 'our talent' more suited? That didn't seem to fit quite right either.] To get the most out of all of these factions. I plan to accumulate an arrange of them by the time we leave, not that we really have a call for it outside of training. [Peace here was... boring. She had spent all her life surviving and fighting, only to be placed here and... have no clue what to do with her time.

Some might find it relaxing, Mystique found it mind numbing.]

No, probably not, but we might as well make the best of it while we can. [ Raven has been blue for Moxie, but there's nothing saying she can't turn things around and become someone else when she visits the other factions. It's logical, really, and she'll be able to get the most out of her trip. ] If we didn't then we'd end up bored, and I don't think that's good for anyone, really.

[There was a hint of amusement in Mystique's question.] For 'us' to be bored, or for the Fleet to be bored, because I can imagine depending which you refer to that the outcome of said boredom could be widely ranging. [And the Fleet was certainly boring. Those early months of her time here, after she had coped with the fact she was dead back in her world and that her children had been here, Mystique had felt boredom starting to take over. It was not a feeling she was use to.]

It could be a little of both. [ Raven shrugs a shoulder absently. ] If we're bored then their ratings are going to suck, but if they're bored... Who knows what might end up happening. [ On the other hand, this version of Raven is more than used to being bored. Weeks of watching Charles study, seeing him hit on girls, hours lounging around waiting for mission updates... It's familiar. ]

I was referring to our Fleetmates, however you raise a very good point, and one far more concerning. [She's seen and heard what happens when their hosts got bored, Mystique was certainly not wanting to try their patience if the repercussions would come back to her.] Certainly a good reason to try and avoid that from happening.

I'll have to magically make myself more interesting. [ As if being a transforming mutant with a telepathic brother and a big blue boyfriend wasn't interesting enough. ] Just in case.

Yes, because we all know how dull you are normally. [Mystique's smile is clearer on this, making sure Raven knew for sure she was joking about the matter. Dull was hardly a word she would use for herself, let alone a girl who was a form of her.] Though if you are really concerned I believe there is a number of magic users on board.

I'm actually incredibly boring. You'd be surprised. [ It's very gentle sarcasm, really, and Raven shakes her head before she breathes out a soft laugh, trying not to look as charmed as she's beginning to be. ] Are you suggesting I get myself into more trouble?

Trouble is at least interesting. This place here is... is certainly not what I am use to. [Mystique admitted, willing to share some of her experiences with Raven only due to the fact of who she is.] Some people are just not built for peace, [Mystique wasn't use to offering comfort to others, but even to her ears that sounded heavier than it was meant to be, and reminded her a little too much of how Irene spoke. At times she hated being told how things were to be played out, it took away the concept of controlling ones fate when someone had already seen all the possibilities that existed. She had just grew accustom to hearing it.] Or some worlds at least.

No, maybe not. I can understand that. [ Raven didn't think she was very good at being peaceful for a long time; all she had done for the last ten years was run around trying to find a man so she could murder him. The amount of people she'd knocked out, or hurt, or blackmailed along the way wasn't worth counting, and she knows that the future might not be that much better. Whatever promises she's made, she can't predict how the world would change. ] I'd like to hope, though. Maybe.

Considering the company you keep, I believe you may be very capable of that. [Depending on how their world played out of course, yet Raven's relationship with Charles was something very different to what Mystique knew. Maybe having such a presence would aid in Raven not having to take her part.

Or push her further towards it.]
