Who: Katara and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide video.
Action: On the Marsiva.
When: March 20th.

[ the bunk itself might be unfamiliar, but waking in an unfamiliar place isn't - not with as much time as she'd spent trying to manage herself in paradisa, at least. she frowns a little, trying to make sense of the new knowledge she has access to.

ugh.

she swings her legs over the edge of the bunk, grabbing at her communicator and squinting a little at the screen. her memories felt foggy, and nothing about that was pleasant. ]

Hello? Um - it's Katara. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the Castle's behind this?

[ she sounds vaguely hopeful, but- no, katara, no. you are blaming the wrong jamjar. please try again. ]

Katara, is that you?

[Oh hey that's a familiar voice. And a mention of a castle too! Those two things distract him enough that he is totally forgetting he never mentioned to Sokka that he knew his sister. ]

Are you talking about Paradisa?

[kyasdaughter]

Allen?

[ there's a weird sort of relief on her face here, because something about this whole situation just isn't lining up like it should. it doesn't feel like the castle's magic, but what else could it be? ]

Yeah, of course. [ her words are sure, but her tone isn't quite as firm. ] It's up to something again, isn't it?

Video

[save_the_souls]

Oh good, you remember.

[He smiles in a bit of relief. It's always nice being remembered. Less chance you sound like a crazy person!]

Ah...not exactly? This isn't actually the castle's doing- it's someone else's.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Of course I do.

[ or maybe the 'of course' is silly. maybe this is something that shouldn't be taken for granted, because even now, her memories of the castle seem so far away. ]

Then whose -- ?

Video

[save_the_souls]

They're called Atroma. Apparently they kidnap people from many different worlds and put them on spaceships for...a reality show.

Your brother's here too.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

Sokka's here?

[ WELL that successfully catches her attention, at least. ]

Where is he? Is he alright? And -

[ how does she even ask this. ]

Allen, what's a reality show?

Video

[save_the_souls]

He's fine! We're on the same ship. You'll probably hear from him soon enough.

And ah...did you ever watch a movie in Paradisa? Or a TV show? Reality shows are apparently...sort of like that.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

[ hahaha she didn't have a great experience with movies... ]

That's - um. Okay.

[ and katara takes a measured breath. ]

You know, I really don't know why I'm surprised by anything anymore.

Video

[save_the_souls]

It's alright, I don't think any of us expected to wind up in a place like this after the castle.

But, at least there's a few of us here from Paradisa. I suppose Atroma likes us for some reason.

Video

[kyasdaughter]

I guess Atroma brought us here, then?

Action..kinda

[alwayscomeback]

[There might be some shouting coming from the cargo hold. Allen. ALLEN. ]

HOW DO YOU KNOW MY SISTER?!!!!

Action-ish

[save_the_souls]

[Oh. Right.]

...Shite.

[Calling back!]

I c-can explain!

[alwayscomeback]

[He appears, suddenly, by the door. Pointing, and probably freaking out a little.]

Oh, you better!

[save_the_souls]

I will! Calm down!

[SHEESH]

Remember that Paradisa place I've mentioned? She was there too- for a little while. That's how I know her.

[alwayscomeback]

And you didn't think to mention this at all?

[Yep, still not calm. ]

[save_the_souls]

No, I thought about it, but...

Well, she'd been sent back home by the time I left, so I didn't want to worry you over nothing.

[alwayscomeback]

[He heaves out a sigh. She's okay. That's what matters the most. He pinches the bridge of his nose. He hates that she's on the Marsiva, that he can't get to her right now.]

I guess that makes sense.

[save_the_souls]

[He gives an apologetic look]

Sorry. I wasn't trying to deceive you or anything.

Action..kinda

[dancingmd]

[Beverly can't help but hear Sokka's yelling, even from the labs. She comes running in.]

Sokka! Is something wrong?

[alwayscomeback]

[He doesn't seem hurt. Just...excited, ok no, freaking out. ]

My sister's here!

[dancingmd]

[She sucks in a sharp breath at that. If Sokka's sister is here, and Cole and Chris are together, then maybe, just maybe... but no, that's selfish. She shouldn't wish for anyone else to get stuck here.]

Wow.

[Not quite sure what else to say. Half of her wants to express happiness for him, the other half wants to commiserate.]

Will she be coming here, to the Blue Fish?

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah! We'll have to get the paperwork done, if she's put on another ship. But we'll want to be together.

We're always together.

[Being apart from her has been an absolute hell.]

[dancingmd]

[It touches her, how much he clearly loves his sister. Her expression softens sympathetically.]

I look forward to meeting her. I'm sure she's wonderful.

Even if they don't put her on the ship officially, we do have that extra bunk space.

[alwayscomeback]

Oh trust me, I'll find any way of getting her here.

[dancingmd]

[As she would, if it were Wesley or one of her crewmates.]

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
