driftfleet | Fourteenth Gate [Video]

Who: Jennifer Keller and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Wonderduck, or elsewhere if you want to take it there
When: November 6th

[When the feed clicks on without any intervention, as Atroma-made devices are wont to do, Jennifer's still asleep. However, it's but a few moments before she wakes, giving a gasp and looking around for a moment, confused, before it sinks in, and she lets out a moan of frustration.]

Goddamnit. [Then, realizing her communicator is turned on, she grabs it and turns it off, with a long-suffering sigh.

After talking to Beverly, Jennifer takes some time to check out her ship and its crew, making sure things are the same as they were when she went to sleep- for she'd gone home for a while, and been kept busy. Satisfied that nothing major had happened in her absence, when Jennifer makes a deliberate broadcast, this time she's holding up a new sponsor gift- a gray jacket with yellow stripes and a black leather jacket, replicas of her uniform from home. Except the Atlantis logo reads ATLANTA, and the pegasus has been replaced by a unicorn, and the yellow stripes on her jacket are very... neon.]

Now that I'm awake again, anybody want to start a sports team called the Atlanta Unicorns? Atroma was kind enough to welcome me back with these, and it struck me as a very good team name. Thanks, sponsors, you're the best.

[The sarcasm is laid on pretty thick.]

[Jennifer nodded, rubbing her stomach.]

I am, in fact. And honestly, I'm surprised it hasn't happened to me before, but I guess sometimes even Atroma feels like we deserve a break.

Yeah, maybe? You'd think letting us sleep normally at night would be enough - but this place is weird enough I can believe that Atroma actually tries to care about stuff like that.

[They gave her Naga, right? Maybe they did care in their own way.]

So - I'm still not sure about half of the synthetic food but maybe there's something you like in the kitchen?

Well... this time I did go home for a little bit, so maybe that's got something to do with it. I had some more memories to add in, so it was easier to do it while I was asleep.

[She nodded.]

I think a cup of tea for starters would be great.

Whoa- memories? They can do that?

[Color her surprised. She definitely is going to badger Sokka about this soon. He'd mentioned being in the fleet a long time, but had he ever done something like this?]

Do you feel alright? If you don't feel up for it I could bring some from the kitchens and we could hang out in your room? Whatever you're comfortable with.

Mmhmm. I've seen it happen to others... they'll fall asleep for a while, and they won't be able to be woken up, but when they DO awaken on their own, they'll have additional memories from home. I'm not sure how it works.

[She smiled.]

I feel fine, actually... well-rested for once. So we can sit in the kitchen and scrounge something up.

Oh. That sounds like it'd be weird.

[She's kind of glad her sleep wasn't that bad? She mostly just felt starving and was glad Sokka had given her meat.]

Sure! So... what did you remember? When you were asleep.

Not much... just a glimpse of home. It was business as usual, always dealing with some crisis or another, but I got to see Rodney. And have some reassurance that they'll all be waiting for me as they were if I ever get to leave here.

Rodney... is that someone you're close to?

[She's not going to outright prod her about her love life, okay but it's pretty obvious that's what she's asking.]

Yeah... he's my boyfriend. We'd just gotten together a few months before I came here. Because that's just how my luck runs, I guess.

Oh. I'm sorry...

[Well, at least with her luck Asami and she were alright? It just sucked she left before they could go on that Spirit World date of theirs.]

Yeah. It sucks, but it was nice to be able to see him for a little while, too. To know we're still together and all. So it's not too bad, I guess.
