Another dramatic entry

[forcefullyunstable]

Who: Kylo Ren and OTA
Broadcast: a bit later, Fleetwide.
Action: SS Red Fish and wherever he discovers he can go
When: After the shuffle

Some have probably been dreading this moment. Kylo Ren is free!

[Option A: Immediately after the shuffle.]

It's probably a good thing all the people he's already pissed off aren't aboard the SS Red Fish. Because thanks to his violent outbursts aboard the Marsiva, Kylo just spent the past week locked in a small supply closet with only a bottle of window cleaner to sustain him. He's starving, dehydrated, exhausted and unless someone catches him, he's hitting the floor along with the confetti...

[Option B: A bit later.]

As soon as he could stand without passing out, Kylo was determined to explore his surroundings. That included the Red Fish (which thanks to his augment, now sported a pantry with food that wasn't protein gel) and anywhere else he could conceivably go.

He'd gotten briefed on the basics. He pulled out his communicator, and turned the audio settings on. "So, who missed me?"

Option A.5

[flawless_precision]

By now, Phasma has discovered Atroma's great joke at her expense and that her transfer to the Heron found her, instead, aboard the Pathstone. A quick text confirmation with Hux confirmed Kylo had been given the same treatment, and after a check to the directory she was headed over to the Red Fish to collect him for a very special Frist Order Triumverate meeting.

She lands her shuttle in the hangar and sets about trying to find him; the black and red cloak that she had previously acquired in Blanc billowed out behind her, her white uniform now accented with a chestpiece and pauldrouns in the gold-toned Moxxie colors.

Eventually, she'd have to see about painting them. For now, she focuses on trying to locate Ren.

She's irritated but not surprised that they're having trouble locating him, but it all becomes clear when she finds him in the Medical Bay. A brief check to ensure he's stable enough to move, she attempts to wake him.

"Ren. Kylo Ren?"

[forcefullyunstable]

He groaned at the sound of his name, rolling over and burying his face under his arm. He was still exhausted, and very much still a mess, but at least he was out of the closet and off the damn ship with all of the robots.

By the time she called his name a second time, he started to place the voice. "...Phasma?"

He sat up slowly, shaking off the dizziness. She was still there, although he almost didn't recognize sans armor and her in such unusual clothes.

"Because if I'm hallucinating this, I kriffing give up."

[flawless_precision]

Phasma stands back to give him room, crossing her arms.

"I'm here. I've been keeping a low profile until you showed up." It's Phasma alright, that cool, deadpan delivery, although is there a hint of resentment to it? Yes, yes there is. She hasn't forgotten their first conversation here, and that he accused her of belonging to the Resistance.

They would adress that later. For now, she has a mission to do; "Are able to walk?"

[forcefullyunstable]

Granted, he still had no idea that anonymous message was her. He assumed it was his captors.

"Of course." He also assumed that he could walk, which got him as far as Phasma before he nearly passed out again. He was still weak, and rightfully embarrassed about it.

[flawless_precision]

[She's quick to step in and grab him before he faceplants against the floor, with something of a long-suffering sigh when she realizes he's out sold. With a grunt, she hefts him over her shoulder in a fireman's carry and takes him through the ship to her shuttle.

With any luck, he'll stay out the whole way.

[Loki's on the Iskaulit, exercising. But he'll pause to see if the squeaky toy will squeak again.]

Oh hello, darling. You sound much calmer now. Had a nap?

[forcefullyunstable]

"Amazing how having at least one of the basic necessities of life will do that." He hissed, recognizing the voice from his time aboard the Marsiva. He'd gotten in touch with Hux and Phasma too, which also helped calm his nerves tremendously. "What do you want?"

[complicatedliar]

"I'd no idea you were deprived of air, food, and water on the Marsiva. The accommodations have really gone downhill since my time there." He laughs. "Nothing that you are actually capable of providing."

[forcefullyunstable]

"All right, having more than one." He did have air, after all. "But that's not an exaggeration. So you can stop laughing!"

Loki was very good at pushing Kylo Ren's buttons. Granted, it wasn't all that difficult.

"But if you're desperate enough on your next stay, the window cleaner is mostly vinegar. Try making a half-empty bottle of that a week's worth of sustenance! Be my guest!"

[complicatedliar]

"I never stop laughing when there is such meat for merriment." Because the universe is a very, very funny place, in so many ways.

"I didn't find the door handle to be such a challenge as that, myself."

[child_of_bhaal]

So the Red Fish isn't the most warm, inviting place. It's dark, even though all the lights are on in the halls. They just don't get that bright. The place is well kept, but still has an eerie air about it. Maybe it's all the skulls that are subtly worked into the décor.

They did not pick this motif. But it kind of suits the crew on this ship. In various ways. Though it might not be directly evident by looking at some of them, just in the surface.

Like the red head who is poking into the new extra space in the kitchen. She's not tall, or particularly imposing. In have her face is kind of sweet looking at rest, and the impression is reinforced by her excited gasp as she grasps the bag of sugar in her hands, delighted, like she'd just found diamonds.

"A whole bag of sugar! Best upgrade ever!"

She only then noticed the new presence or if the corner of her eye. For a second, she thinks the dark shape is Zhas, and she's ready to dump her extreme excitement all over her stony, skullfaced best friend. And then she turns to properly see the person, and it turns out it's very much not the resident vampire killer.

"Oh! Oh sorry, I thought you were someone else." She clears her throat, tucks her hair behind a delicately pointed ear, and gives the new person a friendly, welcoming smile. "How do you do, sir? I'm Syeira. Welcome to the Red Fish."

[forcefullyunstable]

After basically being captive on the Marsiva, finding an entire galley and a pantry stacked with food made him want to agree with the sudden voice that appeared behind him. As it was, he couldn't seem to stomach much at one time (a week of starvation will do that), but he somehow knew how to make the most of it.

Which was what he was doing now, gathering some dried vegetables from the pantry and setting them next to a boiling pot. Inside was a little spicy chili flavored gel protein, melting nicely on the high heat.

"Kylo Ren." He barely knew what to make of the ships (though for what it was worth, he appreciated the dark colors and the dim lighting). "If you think the sugar's a prize, you should try this."

He took a pair of tongs and coated the dried vegetable sticks with the melted gel. It stiffened up again to its toothpaste-like consistency when it was off the heat, but stuck like a glaze. Nutritionally dense and flavorful.

"The texture's just better when there's something inside it."

[girlverine]

[Laura was passing by the kitchen when he appeared, but the teen made no attempt to catch him. People should be able to handle a little fall like that, that's all. She does, at least, step into the room? Though her attention shifts from him to the pantry and back thoughtfully before he finally has her attention.]

...Are you alright?

[forcefullyunstable]

Were he all right, he wouldn't have collapsed in the first place.

All Laura got in return was a muffled groan.

[girlverine]

This was a fleet full of weirdos, for all she knew collapsing was how he gave thanks for things.

Still, probably not. There was another pause before she stepped closer. "Can you get up?"

Maybe that was a better place to start.

[forcefullyunstable]

He was barely conscious, and he hadn't moved. But this was the sound of another person! Another person meant...

"Just tell me... I'm out of the damn closet."

[girlverine]

Well. She could help with that, at least.

"You are in the galley of the Red Fish."

[leftonjakku]

Are you Kylo Ren?

[forcefullyunstable]

I am. Who wants to know?

[Text - Anonymous]

[leftonjakku]

No one important.

Some of your friends are here.

[forcefullyunstable]

if you weren't important, you would have shown yourself on the video feed like everyone else.

Some of my enemies too. The question is, which one are you?

B, a lot later screams

[ranoutofluck]

The first thing Han does is, predictably, send a message through a private channel. This time it's in text, owing to the fact that he's actually banging around engineering fixing a few things up and cursing up and down.

It reads, where'd they put you?

[forcefullyunstable]

There was a bit of time before Kylo replied. He was weighing his options.

Red Fish. For now. But I'll join Hux on the Heron as soon as possible.

[ranoutofluck]

Oh, okay, at least Ben is talking to him, that's a good thing. Heron--that's where Leia's mother, Ben's grandmother is, and not for the first time Han feels a small headache coming on. Timelines.

you need anything before you head there?

[forcefullyunstable]

How encrypted were these channels? Should he even dare to...

Yeah. I need my Force powers back.

There was a moment of silence, quickly followed by:

If you tell anyone, and I mean anyone, I will kill you a second time!!

Never mind that he currently had no means by which to easily do so.
