Who: Koltira Deathweaver
Broadcast: fleet-wide
Action: the Marsiva
When: Early March 17

[The sensation of waking is strange and unfamiliar to Koltira; he can't recall the last time he slept, or even fell unconscious. He rises slowly, flexing his plated fingers. His armor, freshly polished and repaired, gleams darkly under the stark light of the hospitality deck. As he stands, Koltira checks himself for injuries, injuries that were very present at his last recollection. He presses a hand to his side -- nothing. He touches his neck, and finds the recently shredded flesh mostly intact, but he still comes away with a smear of black-green ichor on his palm.

As he fully wakes, the old familiar pain shoots through what remains of his nerves. But he's smiling, sort of. His lips are slightly parted, anyway, showing sharp teeth; the look of an escaped prisoner.

Koltira runs his tongue over his canines. His deep, gravelly voice has an unearthly reverb to it, as though there's a ghost echoing everything he says.]


Whoever you are, my thanks.

Oh, yeah. There were a stupid amount of times where I got my weapons taken away and only had a sword for an option, or something like that.

So ... I guess I kinda owe you one, huh? Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get adjusted here. [ Since it sounds like he's happy to be away from his home, anyways ... ]
ino: (Bored/talking.)

Not much, really. The more entertaining we are for the "audience" watching us, the more we get paid. The money can go towards upgrades for the ship you're placed on, or you can also upgrade your own personal "augment". That's the little thing -- [ She reaches back on her own neck to indicate where it's located ] -- right here. Don't try to rip it out or anything, it really hurts and might make you pass out for awhile.

Yeah, it also translates what everyone's saying so we can all understand each other, and helps you perform whatever your assigned "job" is. Plus, like, basic spaceship stuff so you aren't totally lost on how to get around.

Sure thing!

Oh yeah, and you should be assigned a ship by the end of the week. Right now we're stopped at a planet so they're all docked, but eventually we'll leave and head to a different planet.
