Who: Ladon Ceto and you~
Broadcast: Fleet-wide audio
Action: Marsiva
When: 3/20

[ There's a long suffering sigh. After a moment, a few clicks of a lighter and what sounds like an inhale. Ladon's just woken up in a strange place and while that's certainly not the oddest thing that has happened to him, it's still a bit on the unsettling side. And that sure as hell calls for a smoke. ]

S'better than fallin' outta the fuckin' rift again, I guess.

[ His head's fuzzy. How long ago had that been? Years, it seems. But at the same time, he can't remember much in between. There was Sacrosanct and now there's... this. But he's older, he can feel it deep down. ]

Gonna guess this ain't connected to the station's network, seein' as my wearable don't work. No crazy blue dames runnin' this joint, I'm hopin'?

Action:

[ For anyone wandering about the Hospitality Deck, Ladon can be found in the viewing bay, staring out into the void of space and smoking what isn't his first and likely not his last cigarette. He's bundled up in his long, wool coat and is wearing his signature hat regardless of the temperature inside the Deck. The look on his face is something akin to resignation. Gone is the alarm he once felt for waking up in a strange place and being surrounded by blinking lights and smooth metal surfaces. Not that he doesn't hate it any more than he did before, but at least he'd gotten comfortable on Sacrosanct... Or as comfortable as one could get there.

Now he had to start all over, and that was just about as ridiculous as being stuck in space yet again. ]

Blue... 'dames'? I don't think we have anyone by that description here. Something called Atroma's in charge of bringing us here. Not that anyone knows what that is.

Welcome to space, I guess?

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

So long as it ain't Hypatia in charge, I'll take it. She'd make herself known if she was here, yeah?

Few years late on the welcome... Though, guess this's a new part of space or somethin'. Who the hell knows.

[video]

[mysunnydisposition]

Oh, okay. Never mind then.

So... Hypatia is what, exactly?

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

Some kinda... Ay-eye thing, far as I know. Ran the station I been stuck at. Liked to go threatenin' to turn the life support off. Went through with it a few times. Evil broad.

[video]

[mysunnydisposition]

O...kay, and suddenly I feel a lot better about things around here. Thanks for that.

Are we talking about blue clothes or blue skin?

[Apparently it's important. ]

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

Er, both. Sorta. She ain't... human or nothin'. Some sorta com-pewter-y twist. She was here, she'd be threatenin' to shut off the life support or somethin'.

[onlyanapple]

Nope. Definitely don't remember anyone fitting that description. It's the sort that would really stick out.

[justamobster]

S'a relief. Had 'nough of her bullshit for a few fuckin' lifetimes.

[onlyanapple]

Hmm, sounds like the type. We have Diamond, here, but we never actually see her, and she only ever speaks once a week. Tends not to speak back, either.

[All right, this man seems like he leapt straight out of a Dixon Hill holonovel. No way Beverly can resist. She will, however, resist embarrassing herself by using film noir slang. For now.]

No blue dames, just mysterious entities who have decided to kidnap us for their entertainment.

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

Ducky. Dunno what's worse, station that don't want us or one that does.

[ He huffs a discontent noise, then relents. ] Guess this place's a step above Sacrosanct if we ain't got her 'round.

[ Switching to Audio ]

[dancingmd]

Sacrosanct? Was that the name of your previous ship?

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

Station. Had ships, far as I know, never bothered with 'em. Space ain't really my kinda scene, yeah?

[ Audio ]

[dancingmd]

I'm afraid you're stuck with the space scene for now. We haven't figured out how to get out of this universe yet.

[Audio]

[goldenglasses]

A long as they're curvy I don't really care what color they are!

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

[ He makes a gruff noise at that. He's not about to go defending Hypatia's honor-- she doesn't deserve it-- but it's obvious that kind of attitude isn't on par with his own. ]

Real open-minded, ain'tcha.

[ Audio ]

[goldenglasses]

Of course! If you're not open minded then you could miss out on a really fun night!

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

Think I'll pass.

[ Fun is not Ladon's style. ]

[ Audio ]

[goldenglasses]

What!? You never know what you're missing out on if you're closed minded! I highly suggest being a lot more opened minded!

[forsometimenow]

I haven't seen any blue dames here yet. But as others may have mentioned, the situation is still pretty crazy.

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

Bein' stuck in space's nutty 'nough for me. Anythin' else I gotta worry 'bout?

[ Audio ]

[forsometimenow]

Not that I've seen so far- but I've only been here a couple of weeks myself. I was lucky enough to arrive before we stopped on a planet for a while, so I haven't gotten the full experience yet.

[ Audio ]

[justamobster]

[ That makes him perk up. ] S'a planet we can go to?

[ Real sunlight instead of the fake shit in the various nature zones? Music to his ears. ]

[ Audio ]

[forsometimenow]

Yup- I think once you're assigned to a ship, you'll be able to visit, too. The people here are... pre-industrial, let's say, but still. Better than eating protein cubes, I'd wager,
