Good morning!

[Sometime during what the ships' clocks claim as Friday morning, a peppy musical jingle rings out through the speakers all over the ship. It is soon followed by a female voice that should be familiar to most by now]

Good morning, dear passengers! I hope you are all doing well and listening closely, because our broadcast serves two very important functions today!

Firstly, this is the Twelfth Cycle's very first Drift Fleet Shuffle! ...For those of you who don't know, the Shuffle occurs every week, and it's where we all say hello to new faces, goodbye to old friends, and find out how the crews have changed!

This week, we are welcoming four new passengers into the flock, so please keep an eye out for any unfamiliar faces being beamed into your cargo holds, and give them a warm welcome. Other than that, it seems that no one has filed to rearrange their crews-- isn't that wonderful? I'm so glad you're all getting along!

There have been changes in rank however, so I would like to heartily congratulate the Twelfth Cycle's first round of captains on obtaining their illustrious new titles!

We applaud you, Captain Rogers, Captain Harvey, Captain Hange, Captain Stark, Captain Crowley, Captain Kouzuki, Captain Cress, Captain Ichimaru, Captain Redbreast, and Captain... [a bit of a pause] ...Stampede?

[and yes... that might be the sound of applause in the very distant background]

And now, with the Shuffle out of the way, we can move onto what we've all really been waiting for-- the fleet's arrival in our first system! Starting today, the fleet will be moving into range of some outer way-stations, so be sure to visit them to refuel and stretch your legs. The way-stations in this area aren't much to look at, but still good for curing cabin fever, socializing, and doing a little shopping. We will also be coming into range of our first planet, but that won't be until later on in the month... so, don't worry about it now! You'll be hearing more about it later.

For now, just relax and enjoy yourselves! Remember, the worlds are watching!


ooc: feel free to reply here with reactions if you'd like! for details on both the shuffle and the new system, please see the ooc posts. also, head to the ooc post if you have any questions or corrections!

I dunno, the last time I met people in space- they turned out to be zombies.

[Actually wait. BOTH times he went near space it turned into mindless creepy people. Why is space full of that??]

Then again, maybe there'll be a pub!

Zombies are pretty cool, too.

[ 100% nonplussed. though, his laughter fades. ]

Wonder if they've still got age restrictions in space for stuff like that.
wilder: (groooan)

Are you kidding? It takes forever to get the smell out- and I only got one set of clothes!

[And that's something to consider]

Hmm- not sure! How old are ya?
limitstorm: (ღ brainstorm; ❝&in the dark.❞)

[personal profile] limitstorm 2014-10-11 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
What smell? Were you laying down with zombies or something?

[ skeptical... ]

I'm 17. In my world, you have to wait until you're 21.

Laying down- No! Of course not! But if you have to fight a bunch in an contained area- you end up smelling like it for days.

[Just like working in fast food]

21, seriously? [So old! He's only 23!] I dunno what the rule is here, but I'd say you're old enough!
limitstorm: (ღ fluster; ❝love is why we do this.❞)

[personal profile] limitstorm 2014-10-11 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You actually fought zombies?

[ so impressed! *^* ]

Are they back in your home world or were they at Exsilium?

[ uh--right. decorum. riku tries to sober and look a little more respectable. ]

I guess. I wasn't really interested in drinking, I just thought--weird if a bunch of planets had different ages. Which one would you choose?
wilder: (I'm just a weak lazy bum)

[personal profile] wilder 2014-10-11 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, yep! And it was- both actually! [He taps his chin] Which is kinda weird if you think about it...

[No but you're such a cute kiddo when you get excited]

Hmmm...probably whatever one won't get you thrown in jail on that planet?
