Action: Starstruck
When: Shortly after the shuffle

[BROADCAST »

Have you ever seen a lady wearing ungodly amounts of purple? No? Well, you are now and that outfit can only be said to be designed by emo teenagers-- but at least she got rid of the most offensive items a long time ago. Though she doesn't seem to really care about that, but she does look pretty well annoyed. And for good reason.]

Very funny.

[It's not said directly to the communicator because, if there's one thing you learn after a while in her life: When people suddenly kidnap you somewhere they're usually not far away to laugh at you as you panic. This went for what she remembered of her old life and just about everything that happened in the Black Woods. It's really difficult to panic under those circumstances. You just get angry instead.]

I swear if you touched those kids I will find you. Don't think I won't.

[Because she'd been looking for them what little time she was on the Marivsa because usually in situations like this... Well, she was trying not to think about it but being shuffled no more than 24 hours later does not do for one's ire. But that's all she says for the moment.]

[MINGLE FOR STARSTRUCK »

How's it going for you guys? There's the new lady around now, at least, but maybe that's not very helpful. Since she's kind of not all there-- but for different reasons than probably expected. You're not trying to take your augments out again, are you?

It seems you might have some to catch up on for now. Or maybe you just want to stop the new lady from looking through the food supplies. Because that's a thing, too.]

[ Long pause. Chris was going to say something after he turned the comm on, but it's Aunt Piper. How is this happening right now? ]

Piper?

video;

[normallycharmed]

[ You were probably expecting her to respond to that name, weren't you? But instead when she looks to the communicator her brows knit in that familiar way. He looks familiar-- there were memories with him in it. And a 'P' name but, well, she sort of just winces and looks more in disbelief. ]

Is that supposed to be me?

[misconceived]

[ His immediate reaction is simply dammit Paige before he realizes that's not what's happening here. It can't be. ]

Uh. Yeah. You're Piper. Piper Halliwell, oldest sister of three? Any of this ringing... any sort of bells?

video;

[normallycharmed]

[ It's Paige's fault she devoured the world. She rubs her temple at that. ]

Actually, I remember four sisters. Prue, Phoebe, and Paige. [ But she hasn't gotten the 'Prue dies' yet and tries to avoid thinking about the implications. A lot. ] My name, though? Nah, there's not many bells to ring there.

video;

[misconceived]

[ Everything is Paige's fault, clearly. ]

Right. No, that's... right. It's just—complicated. [ MOVING THE FUCK ON. He narrows his eyes at the screen. ] No bells. Why are there no bells?

[Oh hey, looks like it's somebody new, time to troll with Belthazor again--wait. He knows that voice. That voice is very familiar and so is that face and nope, he is not going demon on her, he is his very normal human face because that is a Piper and Rule One of Dealing With Piper is "do not do things that will make her want to blow you up when you are not invulnerable." He has learned that rule very well and Piper trying to blow him up hurts.]

...Piper? What kids are you talking about?

video

[normallycharmed]

[ The fun thing about amnesia and getting random pieces of your memory back: You don't really connect Belthazor as Cole and so she's just. Really not sure. Because this is now a second person she vaguely remembers and they're not acting like they have amnesia at all. Or in any team colors so she just folds her arm. She remembers him basically living at the manor the once, so hey, there's not immediate distrust. But she's really skeptical. ]

There's that name again.[ A pause. ]You wouldn't know them, I take it. Amethyst. Long story.

[devilsinthedetails]

[His eyes narrow as he considers things and studies her for a moment. The first thing on his mind? Damn girl, that's a lot of purple.]

Well, it's your name. Unless you're not Piper. Can you blow things up like this? [And he does the hand motion as if that'd help.]

Okay, so not Wyatt, that's good at least. That the reason you're very...purple?

Re: video

[normallycharmed]

[ It's too much purple that is the travesty of teamnesia. It's okay, she'll ditch it as soon as humanly possible. For now she quirks up the corners of her lips and raises her hands. ]

Well, it sounds more likely than Peregrine, at least. Shall we give it a try?

[ That might be a yes. Since she does know of it and regained it, but she doesn't have much control over it yet again. Which is why she puts her hands down once more. Let's not blow a wall through out of space.

At least there's that familiar flash of concern at the name Wyatt, and then she lets out a breath.
]

An unfortunate side-efect.

[devilsinthedetails]

[If Cole didn't know Piper was the reasonable sister, he'd actually be somewhat terrified right now, but since he actually knows her, he laughs.]

I think you'd make your crew very upset if you blew a hole in the ship your first day there. Peregrine does at least fit the theme your family seemed to have going. Prue, Phoebe, Paige, Patty, Penny. You'd think you would have run out of names by now.

[There was a look of confusion before things seemed to click into place.]

Amnesia? Then you don't know who I am, do you?

If it helps, we don't have any reason to believe they interfere in our worlds except to bring people here.

[ Strangely, she knows that voice better than the other two voices. Or at least, it's more recently familiar and she glances back at the communicator with a start and... Looks at him, because she can't really deny it even if he's not in that shade of purple. ]

Eclipse? [ A beat. ] How do you get that?

[detectivewonder]

Huh?

[normallycharmed]

...Let me guess, you don't know the name Eclipse?

[detectivewonder]

Not even a little. My name's Tim. Tim Drake.

[A guy stabs his neck one time and he can't live it down. What is the world coming to? Mattias can at least hope she hasn't heard the tale, or at least, hasn't heard who did it, but he gives her ample time to find out. Though they've likely seen each other about, he doesn't greet her until hunger draws him away from his work and into the kitchen. For some reason, he's surprised to see her there.]

If you're rummaging for something edible, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Felix tries his best, but... [He shrugs, sidling up next to her to pilfer through a set of cabinets.] ... no man can work miracles.

[He grabs a chunk of... food cube.... and leans against the counter.] You're the new one, right?

action

[normallycharmed]

[ He's in like that she (probably) hasn't heard about it yet, so maybe you can keep it that way. Still, she's not so much interested in the food itself as much as she is to see that the information she's being fed is accurate and... This is gel. It's really gel and the chef in her is offended.

Still, she pulls back promptly away and takes a few steps as well. More eyeing the man than anything. ]

Sorry, who?[ She huffs, disagreeably, carefully moving to brush a strand of hair back. ] Oh, I could work miracles if the stuff that's here was actual food.

[ She really can't help but be offended by food cubes. ] I suppose. And who are you?

[noctiphile]

Mattias Larnaca. Communications. Felix is our cook. Maybe you can show him a few tricks.

[Tilting his head towards her, he gives her his best disarming smile before pulling out a knife from some drawer. He uses it to slice the cube into tolerable segments.]

There is actual food, by the way. Or something close to it. Canned vegetables, some flour and sugar. Godawful cans of... something that wants to be meat. [He pops a piece of the cube into his mouth, pointing with the knife at a cupboard over her shoulder.] It's all in there. You're welcome to try and concoct something from it, although I might steal the bits and pieces. To taste test, of course. Can't risk poison.

[Cue the awkward chuckle and then-a beat. Maybe he shouldn't say things like that around a newbie.] ... That's a joke. It's not actually poisoned.

[normallycharmed]

[ She keeps her distance, at least, while he goes about his business. She gives a slight nod, but notably doesn't introduce herself. Since what name should she even give herself here, it's a mystery. ] Well, then, it seems you have two now then. Did he do cooking before here as well?

[ Her face remains neutral if only since she's decided attempting a smile would look awkward with the way she's feeling right now-- which it would. But she gives a slight tilt of her head at his words. Well, at least there was some real food here-- small graces-- but not much she cared to work with and maybe that would have to change. No, it definitely did.

Still, she arches her brow at his last comment before saying in her own right: ]

They sound like poison. You'd think they'd be more amused by someone nearly lighting their spaceship on fire by cooking something than half-hearted food like that. But I wouldn't call any of that proper food, really.

[noctiphile]

Well, I wouldn't either. That's why I'm eating this. [See? Pointing at the cube. Granted, it's an awful time to be picky but he won't let that stop him.]

As for Felix, I'm afraid it's another mystery. He cooks decent enough that it wouldn't be outlandish but... [He shrugs.] Honestly, I'd welcome another chef. Especially someone so outraged by ingredients. [Another small smile tipped her way. Then he's popping another sliver into his mouth.]

... You're not seriously going to set the ship on fire, are you?

[ladiesss]

[well, this all looks weird. what's this lady doing, dressed like a teenager? and why are Chris and Cole saying they know her? hrm... a gothy-looking teenager peers back through the video feed, if Piper ever gets to looking.

she speaks very softly.]

What's this about kids...?

video

[normallycharmed]

[ At least she's not even bothered by the clothes, but that comes with months of being stuck in the uniform. She is looking by now, but her arms remain folded as she thinks of how to respond for the briefest moments. ]

Just some kids who don't need any more things happening to them for a while.

video

[ladiesss]

Oh... That sounds... Bad...

[she's not 100% sure how to respond. but... she fidgets with the ends of her hair, a little.]

I hope they aren't here, then. I mean--not that it's good that you're here, either. Unless it is? ...I don't know...

video

[normallycharmed]

Mm. Well, yes.

[ It's okay, she doesn't expect people to understand and it's not like she's going to say exactly what she knows those kids do. Because personal business. ]

I don't know yet, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. Who are you?

video

[ladiesss]

[well, that's good. she can at least move this conversation along.]

Um, my name's Krista. I'm captain of the SS Bishop, here in the fleet.
