Who: The Fleet!
Broadcast: If you want
Action: Hotel Corona or Planet Ikke
When: December 7th onward



[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

In order words: it's a mingle!! Everyone get in! ]

[He lifts his shoulders in a shrug. A lot of this he's covered before - way back when they had their first conversation face-to-face. But that feels like ten years ago to Erik, these days.]

For one thing, I was in prison. I was broken out on Logan's directions, so I can only assume in the other version of reality, I stayed there for longer.

Right. [She hadn't put the year with it, but she remembers the story.] Not one of those prisons with a beach and unlimited food and a bowling alley. [Like the one she was in last.]

[exothermia]

No... the featureless, below ground kind.

That sounds...awful. [She's been free in hell and trapped in paradise. That sounds like some kind of compromise of the worse of each.]

[He considers not saying any more; it's not a subject he's ever liked discussing. When you get down to it there's little to say. He spent nearly a decade staring at the same pentagonal walls. And yet, some of those old barriers have weakened, if only because newer ones were raised around other things.]

That tends to be the case with solitary confinement.

Life hasn't been very good to you. [It's not said with pity. After all, life has knocked her down a lot too. It's really just her feeling more understanding about making bad choices. Sometimes that happens when it feels like all your options are bad ones.]

wrap?

[exothermia]

No. [There's little point saying otherwise. He lifts his chin slightly.] But I'll continue living it regardless.
