Who: Jayden and YOU!!
Broadcast: Yes - part 1
Action: Yes - part 1 (Marsiva) and part 2 (Pathstone)
When: part 1 is earlier in the day, part 2 is after the latest shuffle!

[ 1 - The Marsiva | Video ]
[ Jayden is NOT HAPPY when she wakes up. At all. And after long enough of frantically searching every inch of the room she's in, and seeing no sign of any of her things, she's all the more pissed off! So she very, very quickly figures out her communication device, switches it on, and glares daggers into the feed. Hoo boy howdy, is she pissed... ]

Where. Is. My. Ghost?

[ First things first. More questions later.

Later, anyone else also on the Marsiva might bump into her in the main room, though she'll be quite pissy about the whole situation. ... She might also be stuffing her face with some of that buffet food. Don't judge. ]

[ 2 - The Pathstone | Action ]
[ Poof!! Jayden appears on the Pathstone, there's a flurry of confetti, and... ... is that pudding? She'll take some of that thank you very much~

She's wandering the ship, trying to figure out 1) where she's supposed to be right now, 2) who else is around, and 3) if she's going to get any more answers about... well, anything at all. So, would anyone care to help show her around? Don't mind the stern look on her face too much. It... it just does that. ]

Ghost? You're looking for a Ghost! I didn't get mine here either! At least if we're talking about the same Ghosts because the people here think Ghosts are like, apparitions, or, you know, extensions of the soul after the body has passed. But that's not --

I mean, mine was sassy and annoying but I miss him, I just --

-- are you a Guardian?

[Betamax has lost her focus in her excitement, it's been months since she was last with Argos, and even longer since she'd been at the tower; she'd been trying to get used to the idea of never seeing another Guardian. But now, she's got her communication up close to her face, optics shining bright.]

[ Wow holy crap that's one excited Exo suddenly all up in her face -- er, on her device screen. Whatever. Point remains.

She's still angry, and hell if she's letting down her guard just because the other person seems so happy. The tension around her remains. ]

Yeah. I am. And not five minutes ago, I was near Firebase Rubicon. Now I'm here, and I can't find Anil. What the hell is going on?

[ ... Sorry, Betamax, hopefully she will be even a little bit nicer sooner rather than later?? ]

[She's too happy to be bothered with the Titan's anger, taking it all in stride.]

Firebase ... Rubicon ... [She answers in awe; she's been there, certainly, but it was never an easy trek. She gives her head a shake to focus.] You're in the Fleet now, It's not any part of our universe. It's actually one of a few pocket dimensions; not the first I've been in. This one seems, well ... basically we're the entertainment. We're on a show, if you can believe that, ratings and sponsors and all that. Apparently we get returned if our ratings are high enough, but it seems to be more random than that.

[Warlocks; never for a lack of words.]

We're... entertainment.

[ Also there was something about pocket dimensions in there, whatever the hell that means. Warlock words. Totally. ]

... They can rate my ass. [ Jayden plz. ] And my fists. Who's behind this bullshit? I'll get us home.

[ oh boy. ]

[Betamax approximates a sigh, tilting her head slightly.] I wish it were that easy. The Marsiva, the ship you're at now? That's where they operate from, best of our knowledge. As far as I know no one has ever made it past the hospitality deck.

You're more than welcome to give it a try while you're there, [She's not trying to stoke the fire, but she figures the Titan would have attempted anyway; sometimes it's easier to side-step the bull than try to tell it to stop charging.] but I don't think you'll have any luck.

[ She lets out a huge sigh of her own, and with it goes some - some! - of her anger. You bet your ass she's going to give it a try while she's here! But this Exo seems to know what's up around here, so she'll just... try not to get her hopes up too much. ]

You know a lot. Just how long have you been here, Guardian?

Almost four months. It's ... taken some getting used to. There's not much going on, really. It's like a vacation, but ... I miss the action.

[She realizes this is probably the worst news a Titan could receive.]

I'm Betamax-8, by the way. We haven't been properly introduced.

[ Yep, worst news ever, and she shows as much with another sigh. She can already tell she's going to go stir crazy here... ]

Jayden. Nice to meet you.

[ She nods, and though she attempts a small smile too, it's a tired thing. Someone just spent most of her mental energy being angry! Imagine that. ]

[She smiles. It's a hard life for a Guardian, doubly so for ones so itching for action as a Titan. She could lose herself in documents and past network posts, if she really had to. Not a lot to punch or reasons to punch, really.]

Between the two of us, I'm sure we'll manage something.

Yeah. One way or another. Call it an impromptu fireteam.

[ A pause. ]

... Really hope our Ghosts are okay...

[She wilts a little. She'd had to adapt to not having her Ghost around, and while it hadn't been easy, she'd had Argos and his Ghost to help ease the seperation when she'd initially arrived at the Box.]

I don't know if it's the same case here, but the first place I was at - they talked about time being seperate from their own universes? They'd had cases where people would disapear, or 'go home', and come back, and it was like they were stepping back into the exact moment they left, but without recollection they'd been gone.

I can only hope it's the same with this place. I'll have to miss him but he won't have to miss me.
