Who: Raven and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Blameless and the Heron
When: 05/10 onwards

For anyone wondering, the captain and first mate of the Blameless are aware again. I think we've won the award for 'longest time gone by while asleep', but I'm not going to ask for anyone to try and compete.

Not today, anyway.

If we've missed anything important it would be nice to know, but otherwise this is just me checking in, I suppose. I'm not sure what the protocol is when you've been gone for ten years without being gone at all.

If anyone needs me, I'm on the Heron.

Big, yes. But we're getting used to it again. We don't have a choice.

The Fleet: Come because you have to. Stay because you still have to. Best tagline.

text

[athru]

It sums it up well enough for everyone.

text

[passingthrough]

It does. Maybe the Atroma will promote us to executives now.

text

[athru]

Yeah, as if they would give us any kind of real power.

text

[passingthrough]

Might have been a stretch. Sponsor drop? I haven't had one yet. This could be my week.

text

[athru]

I haven't got one yet, and I'm glad about it. I don't want to think about what they'd give me.

text

[passingthrough]

Something useless and vaguely insulting. If mine doesn't have cats on it then I don't think the world makes sense anymore.

text

[athru]

I'm just going to keep hoping it never happens to me.

text

[passingthrough]

Good luck with that.

Everything okay with your return? [She already knows it probably isn't. She knows a lot happened.]

text

[athru]

It's fine. We're settling back in, so there's nothing to worry about.

text

[passingthrough]

I'll mark worrying off my list but what will I do with all my new free time? [She'll probably worry, fret, and even angst over it a bit more. Things are...strained.]

text

[athru]

I've heard there are things called 'hobbies' that work wonders.

text, that was not the icon I meant to grab

[passingthrough]

I've heard of them, but I think they're a myth. Maybe a fad.

[athru]

I think it might be something Charles made up.

text;

[passingthrough]

Has he been pushing them on you?

text;

[athru]

Hobbies? Not really. He gave up on that a long time ago.

text;

[passingthrough]

Resistant to his charms?

text;

[athru]

I'm his sister. I've been resistant for decades.

text;

[passingthrough]

Right. Siblings. [It's easy to forget because huh?] Never had any.

text;

[athru]

I guess it's hard to get if you haven't been there, right?

text;

[passingthrough]

Guess so. The X-Men were family, but I don't know that I ever assigned anyone brother or sisterhood.

text;

[athru]

Family isn't the same as someone who annoys you and makes you happy at the same time.

text;

[passingthrough]

Never said it was. But they are my family. [They were all she had left and now she doesn't have many of them either.]

text;

[athru]

I get that. The Brotherhood were mine, once. Now it's the X-Men.
