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! ]

Holy shit is right.

[Opal says, from somewhere nearby. She's likewise a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of everything this place has to offer, but she sounds content about it, at least.]

Hope you've got a bunch of credits.

[bluediligence]

I've got, uhm – some!

[ Apparently she and Kaito have been popular these past few days, because Aoko's been raking in the ratings. She doesn't really want to think about why. ]

Wanna help me spend it all?

[ She won't literally spend all of it, but damn, is it ever tempting. ]

[robitussin]

Ooh, someone's ambitious today.

[but a shopping trip sounds fun either way.]

Are you just looking for clothes, or something else too?

[bluediligence]

Clothes, mostly, but I wanna get a new grappling hook, and some books, and some bits and pieces for my army of mechanical cats.

[ She rocks on her heels, half bouncing. ]

What about you? Is there anything you want?

[robitussin]

That is the weirdest list I have ever heard. What are you going to use a grappling hook for in space?

[a small shrug]

Clothes for me, too. Anything else, I guess it depends on what I find in the stores here.

[bluediligence]

You never know when you might need a grappling hook, Opal! [ Look at this serious, earnest face. Look at it. ] What if we're on a planet sometime, and a giant tentacle alien bursts out of the ground? Or we get into a motorcycle chase!

[ Why would you need a grappling hook in a motorcycle chase, Aoko ]

[ The answer is: don't ask. ]

But if you need clothes, too, we can take a look for those first. [ She hops forward a step, smiling. ] What kind do you want?

[robitussin]

If there are giant tentacle aliens bursting out of wherever, I think we have more to worry about than just whether or not there's a grappling hook available. Also, I'm not even going to ask about the motorcycle chase.

[not knowing is the sanest option.]

Probably a lot of different stuff... This is the first place in a while we've been to that has anything I can actually stand, so I should probably stock up. What about you, any particular style in mind?

[bluediligence]

[ That's a fair point … kind of. ]

Speaking from personal experience, having a grappling hook handy makes it a lot easier to solve all of your "giant tentacle aliens bursting out of the ground" problems. [ Just saying!! ]

[ Nevermind the fact that it was a virtual reality simulator game, all courtesy of Iota. It was realistic, that's got to count for something. ]

Mmm, well … Honestly, Aoko just wants to have cute clothes again. Some cute skirts, dresses, and sweaters would be nice.

[robitussin]

You know, I don't think I really want to know the specific details on this one.

[Let her rest. She nods at Aoko's next words, though.]

Any particuar styles you like or anything, other than cute?

[She definitely is not fishing for Christmas gift ideas, not at all.]
