assume formation

[with everyone's augmentations having returned to proper functioning order, all interference has cleared from the network. Atroma's signal comes through loud and clear, with the usual jingle announcing this week's shuffle uninterrupted. and when it finishes, Diamond's voice rings out with overflowing excitement.]

Fifteen ships! ...Have you all looked out the windows, dear passengers? Have you noticed the way that the Fleet swells with life and activity? The SS Paisley drifts with us now, empty and waiting for someone to boldly take command.

...Will it be one of you? Or are we waiting on the next round of intrepid souls to fill her halls? The suspense is palpable! We're on the edge of our seats, here...

The first fifteen of the fleet are flying, and as a reward, they've all received a little boost. Just a little roomier, a little shinier, just for you.

[and she pauses for a deep, satisfied breath. give her just a moment.]

...As such, there are seven new souls joining our ranks this week, replacing the three that are leaving us. Please make them feel welcome!

The fleet is heading toward a special treat this month, since you've all been so wonderful. We will be stopping by one of the most famous historic getaway spots in this stretch of the system, so take advantage of it! There aren't many of these left in such pristine condition, so don't miss out.

And please behave yourselves. ...Though, I don't need to remind you of that, do I?

[she's grinning when she says it. it's there in her voice.]

Remember, the worlds are watching!

[Oh, Allen, the girls Sokka knows would eat you alive with your gentlemanly nature. ]

...Wow yeah, that's the sort you want way away from anyone she'd consider dangerous.

[And now he knows Allen could well be one of those people, and he really, really wishes they had more to defend themselves with.]

[It's okay that's already happened several times now]

Mm. Exactly. Sometimes people like that are a bigger risk than the demons themselves.

[He's not even thinking of himself honestly. But the other demony people? Yeeeeah keep her away]

I mean, none of them have been any trouble, right? I haven't seen any...horrible sacrifices, or anything. So attacking them would achieve nothing, except maybe making them mad enough to cause trouble.

No, they've been peaceful. The only murder that's happened had nothing to do with demons.

But you're exactly right. [Allen Slightly Approves!] Not every demon is as monstrous as they're made out to be, but that doesn't mean they necessarily have the same morality code as humans either. What they think is a proper reaction to being provoked could be anything. So if they aren't harming anyone, it's best to leave them alone.

I can understand that. Spirits are the only thing we have like that, where I come from. And they're absolutely harmless, until someone does something to harm them, or what they protect. You can usually fix it by, and here's a shocker, stopping doing the thing that makes them angry.

I don't see any reason to do anything different with the demons here. If they're not hurting anyone, then they should be left alone.
save_the_souls: (well then)

Spirits....I'm a bit glad I haven't had much experience with those. [demons are easier. They act up, you punch them in the face until they stop]

But exactly. No need to...poke a hornet's nest? I think that's the expression.

Yeaaaah, they can be a whole heap of not fun, and I speak as someone who got abducted by one, once.

...That is the best expression I've ever heard and I plan to use it in the future.

You got abducted by a spirit? [he blinks in surprise]

- Ah! Great! Go ahead!

It was mad because - I forget. Some nature thing. Anyway, it abducted me to the spirit world for a whole day, where there are no bathrooms.
