first labyrinth

Who: Felix Harrowgate
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Marsiva
When: 2/20, evening

[The fact that Felix remembers the past four years when he wakes up is the first indication he has that something has gone wrong. Normally the lack of memory loss would be a good thing, but he'd expected, given everything he'd learned, that life would resume as it had been the moment he'd left his own world. Of course, things had been a bit irregular near the end, and he'd had a strange hope that maybe he wouldn't forget.

The network station first records him sitting up in his cot, a man dressed in a rich burgundy coat reminiscent of eighteenth century nobility, his slightly curly red hair tied back with a ribbon. Fingers clad in gold and garnet rings brush first against his forehead, then at his chest where the necklace Ashura had given him still lay, then patting against his pocket where the Sibylline decidedly still wasn't.

As he takes in the open space and the void outside the sweeping windows, the expression on his face shifts smoothly from confusion, to shock, to a vivid anger. He sits up from his bed so quickly that it upends with a clatter
]

No! No! [his shout is shrill, edging on hysterical, and much higher than might be expected out of him at first glance. He turns in place, as if looking for something or someone to direct this at instead of thin air, then settles at shouting at nothing]

Damn you, Paradisa! Is is really going to be one last trick? Haven't I served my time? Haven't I done enough?

[His eyes, vivid yellow and pale blue, find his communicator sitting on cot next to his, and he stalks over to pick it up a rather obvious air of contempt. His brows knit together in slight puzzlement amidst the storming anger]

What is this? [The fact that he actually knows the answer to that raises more questions] Is the journal not good enough for you any longer?

[Well well, two welcome faces in one day and a party to go to later. This was a good day to be Crowley, really. It's good to hear Felix say the name of the castle. That means he remembers.

He'll give a lazy wave at the camera, giving no emotion but boredom away, as usual.
]

This isn't the castle. This is a whole new management of otherworldly messes.

'Lo, Felix.

[As if the bed clattering wasn't enough, the temper tantrum earns plenty of pause. Mattias hovers uncertain in the doorway, expression knit with wariness and skepticism.

Godddess, don't tell him this is what he was like upon entering.
]

It's a communicator. It lets you speak with those a ways away. It's a far throw from a journal.

[ Why yelling. So much yelling. Steph was napping on one of the cots, but not anymore, because now there's a yelling man on the Hospitality Deck. She groans as she sits up, glaring a little. ]

I can't wait to get out of here...

[ The next comment is a little louder, meant for the newest arrival. ]

Who are you even yelling at? They're not listening.

[And there's a curious mage on the other end of this feed.]

What is this Paradisa you mentioned? Color me curious.

[Mattias drums his fingers against his opposite arm, lips thinning to a line.] I've been told the answer's quite startling so you might want to sit down.

[He'll wait for him to sit but not for long. Impatience is a greedy mistress and he succumbs easily, jolting into motion after a minute, one hand tapping the lump on his own neck.] Feel your neck. There should be a bump? It's an augment. Some type of... technology [the word sounds so foreign] they implanted within us. Probably while sleeping. It's what's feeding you information.

[Crowley can't help but chuckle at the reaction. ]

The one and only.

Mostly, it's a TV show. In space. They're watching us with cameras all the time. A group called Atroma run it.

[Goodness.]

I merely ask because we generally seem to come from different places, here.

[ The glare fades a little. She sighs, curling her legs under her, and shrugs. ]

Okay, that's actually true, but they don't answer.

...what recent experience?

[ Man, this guy is fancy. He is also very very mad, and Aaron is keeping a good distance from him. ]

We're on a spaceship and you're yelling at ghosts.
noctiphile: (on this try)

[personal profile] noctiphile 2015-02-22 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah-[Reaching out with his fingers before drawing them back.]-Please don't. I don't think there are any buckets on the ship to catch it.

[Holding his arms close to his chest, he leans against the doorframe, watching Felix with flickers of both concern and curiosity.] If it's any consolation, it seems to be largely helpful.
noctiphile: (NERD)

[personal profile] noctiphile 2015-02-22 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we've already mentioned that they supply information. [He holds a finger up.]

There's also the possibility they translate what we're saying. [Another finger.] And, apparently, they can enhance our skills. I've seen people mention upgrades to both themselves and ships.

[That's three fingers with a fourth joining it.] Lastly, you're not dead. And, if you're like me, quite able to maintain your own thoughts. It doesn't seem to be a device meant to control or harm us. And while that doesn't make it benign, neither does it make it malicious. Yet.

[Isn't it fun haveing Crowley back in your life, Felix? Isn't it fun? ]

Not this one. It's more...ad lib. And yes all the time. Even now.

[He considers.]

Despite the castle's tendency to make space horrible and traumatising for us, nothing that bad has happened just yet. Not saying it won't, mind, but there's been no zombie aliens nor gateways to Hell yet.

I know. I checked.
mysterzie: (✦couldn't be that man)

[personal profile] mysterzie 2015-02-23 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Yours? Who else are you yelling at?

[ Ugh, why are so many people here just crazy or completely out of left field? ]
mysunnydisposition: (Default)

[personal profile] mysunnydisposition 2015-02-23 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Actually, yeah, I'd believe that.

Another guy here said something like that... though I don't think it was the same place. He said something about being on the moon...
