Who: Dante and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Pathstone
When: After the shuffle

[Fuck everything.

Dante is not thrilled about this situation at all. He's punched dents into one or two places on the Marsiva already, pacing around there like a caged animal. But now that he's on another ship, it's beginning to sink in that he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Wherever he is, it's not Limbo. Whether or not that's a good thing remains to be seen.

He's a man of action (the thinking and planning is for Vergil), but right now he needs to calm himself and start getting information. Especially now that he's sharing a space with other people, apparently.]

[Feet propped up on the table in the galley, Dante finally turns on the device. It doesn't take him long to figure it out, and he looks nonplussed as he addresses the network.]

So this is a steaming hunk of shit.

[Way to make an impression there, Dante.]

But fine, I'll bite. So we're on a reality show in space. Cute. [Hey, it's... different, anyway, he supposes. He's still convinced Mundus is behind this somehow, but he keeps that to himself.] The... thing in my head is telling me stuff, but I doubt it's telling me the whole story. So what's the deal? And how the hell did these Atroma people manage to not only get me here, but cut off my powers?

[Because that single-handedly pisses him off the most. Not being able to have his guns is one thing, but not being able to summon Rebellion? That grates him. Instinctively he keeps trying to summon it, but nothing appears on his back.

Something tells him he's in for a rough ride.]

Also, where the hell can a guy get a pizza in this place?


action

[Once the video is done and out of the way with, Dante sets off and explores his home for the time being. He doesn't turn over every rock, so to speak, but he does at least walk around to get a layout of the place.

In the kitchen, he inspects the protein gels and immediately scrunches his face.]

I'm not eating that shit.

[He'd rather starve, frankly.

He can also be found in the med bay, which he supposes he'll be spending a lot of time in since that thing in his head tells him he works here. As a medic, of all things.]

I failed most of my science classes. And they want me to work in here?

[He rubs a hand over his face.]

Real fucking funny.

[Something is going to wind up exploding. He's calling it now.]

Action

[onlyanapple]

[Sometimes, Crowley deigns to return to the Pathstone to lounge about and do nothing. The sound of someone who was definitely not Natalie coming from the med bay is enough to make him wander through to investigate ]

Well, anyone who comes here with some mucky planet virus is well fucked then, aren't they?

Action

[poked_heart]

[Dante turns to Crowley, something churning in his gut. It's mild, but it's enough to keep him on guard. He's not sure what about this guy makes him uneasy, though he supposes it could be just the situation he's in.]

Honestly, yeah. They are.

[He won't mince his words.]

Though I know how to operate all this shit, somehow.

Action

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley flashes a toothy grin, tapping the back of his own head. ]

That'd be your Augment. Atroma put it there, basically dumps all that info in your brain, easy as anything.

Action

[poked_heart]

They went into my head?

[Someone is going to get murdered. Because oh hell naw]

Action

[onlyanapple]

'Fraid so. Rude of them, I know, but there you go.

[Still not as bad a Hell doing it. They're just straight up CREEPY about it. ]

[ video ]

[precedented]

[ People sure have a vested interest in pizza. ]

Perhaps you could try your hand at making one?

[ video ]

[poked_heart]

[Well, duh. Have you tried pizza??]

Do I look like a cook to you?

Re: [ video ]

[precedented]

I wasn't aware there was a stereotypical appearance for cooking. Which is probably for the best because then we'd all starve.

[ video ]

[poked_heart]

[Now he's suddenly reminded of what it's like to talk to Vergil, but not in a good way.]

I don't cook. And it wasn't necessary since I could always just order pizza. [Like most people do.]

Kitchen

[flawless_precision]

Then you'll starve.

[Eat it or don't, Phasma doesn't care one way or another. She does care about you putting your grimy feet up on the table she's already cleaned like, six times today thanks Crowley. Fortunately she's just come in from cleaning somewhere else and already has the means to do so here. She glares at him as she rubs the table down because honestly who puts their feet up on a food serface.]

[poked_heart]

Well fuck you too, then.

[Not said nastily, just with some sass and a roll of his eyes. Her glare leaves him unimpressed. He simply goes to the fridge to rummage through it, hoping they at least have some kind of drinkable liquid.]

[flawless_precision]

[She purses her lips as she finishes up on the table, and leans back to watch him go through the fridge.]

What is your augment?

[aka Where should you be right now]

[poked_heart]

Something to do with the lab.

[Why he's been given that is beyond him.]

You really don't want me in there though, lady.

video.

[ofkirkwall]

It's a mystery, one for the ages. Never to be solved because that would be a horrible inconvenience to our possibly robotic overlords.

[ :) ]

video.

[poked_heart]

[...well, at least she's honest. And hot.]

Of course not. [Information is power, and war is fought with deception. It makes him wish Vergil was here. This was his brother's forte, not his.] So let me guess: we don't know who these people are, where they are, or anything remotely helpful, right?

video.

[ofkirkwall]

Pretty much.

What little we know is their name, Atroma. We don't know where they are or how they managed to get us. [ She shifts, deciding that now is a good time as any to lounge. ] It's terribly inconvenient.

video.

[poked_heart]

Sure. We'll go with inconvenience. Let's tack on "gigantic pain in the ass", you know, for shits and giggles.

[He watches her, appreciating what of her form that he could see.]

So they're good at concealing their identity. Fine. But eventually someone finds out the truth.

[feathery]

There's pizza, but it's limited space pizza. Fake-cheese pizza. Like don't get me wrong, it's fucking incredible compared to the standard ship stock, but if you're expecting delivery, it's in short fucking supply.

Though I guess the Marsiva's got options for now.

audio;

[poked_heart]

[Bless your face. Because that's the best news he's heard so far.]

I'll take fake cheese shit over no shit. Though the no delivery sucks.

[...well, maybe he'll have more money now??]

So, what, we have to make all our own food?

audio;

[feathery]

More or less, unless we're docked somewhere that's got restaurants. Or you have a ship cook. [...] Or can bribe another ship's cook. Which is probably easier than it sounds; a lot of them seem kinda bored.

audio;

[poked_heart]

Wait, we dock at places?

[Oh thank fuck. He was beginning to think they were stuck on these ships 24/7.]

Bribe a cook, huh. I think I can manage that. [He's wearing a shit eating grin. He... has ways of convincing people.]

video;

[universal_charm]

Well, they tell us we're on a reality show. Don't have much evidence one way or the other, though, so up to you to believe that or not.

As for the how about getting you here and your powers? Also an unknown. Atroma guards that pretty jealously and so far we haven't found to many clues to it, other than I suspect they have machinery of some sort on the Marsiva, but not anywhere we've been able to access to this point.

You can try planet side, but you're as likely to get knocked out as enjoy a pizza, so eat wisely.

video;

[poked_heart]

Someone said we dock at places. If it's a show, people would recognize it, right?

[If they're anything like back home, they probably watch plenty of it. Ten to one, they should run into plenty of people who do.

He rubs a hand over his head.]

Woke up today thinking it was going to suck. And somehow, it managed to be even shittier than I anticipated.

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

Assuming that Atroma either doesn't call ahead or that all the places we dock at aren't already familiar with space travelers. No one's come up to us like we're celebrities, they've just acted like we're any other travel group stopping by. And let's face it, someone would slip up along the way if they were meant to be acting, so I don't think they are.

What was your originally expectation for "shit"?

video;

[poked_heart]

[His eyes narrow at that. That's very odd, to say the least.]

No one can make everyone shut up about a show they watch. Which means they're lying.

[Great. More deception. And if these people are affiliated with Mundus, then his power goes way beyond what he expected. What even Vergil expected.]

Breaking into a powerful demon's headquarters to take him out after he just pulverized a good portion of my city in a fit of rage. That kind of shit.
