Who: Iris West and YOU!!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: If you're on the Marsiva, sure
When: May 4th
[ Two whole days later, Iris still can't believe she's actually in outer space. The view outside the Marsiva hasn't done anything to dissuade the notion, either. Part of her desperately wishes she could disembark and explore this star system: it would be the story of a lifetime, and more importantly, it would be a story she would've uncovered all by herself.
Exploring the hospitality deck hasn't answered many questions, so she's taken to sitting in the cafeteria with a trusty mug of coffee. Turns out, it's a good place to sit and think - as well as a good place to scroll through the Network and see what other people're saying.
So far, she's drawn a few conclusions: 1) there's a whole fleet of ships surrounding the Marsiva, 2) not everyone's from Earth - or a planet like it, and 3) they're here as part of a reality show?? That last one's pretty hard to believe. (Who'd watch someone write and edit?) Instead of asking her fellow captives the hows and whys, she figures she's better off asking them something else: ]
How many of you know the game 'Questions?'
It's a pretty simple game back on Earth: I pose a question, and you can only answer me with a question of your own. The first one to forget a question "loses." To make things easier on everyone, I won't instate any additional rules.
To start us off: Were you familiar with outer space travel before you arrived here?
Broadcast: Yes!

Central City Picture News, yeah. But I hear that major news outlets aren't the same in every world. Or is it that those cities don't exist to begin with?

What's your name?
text »
Iris. I wish we could've met under better circumstances.
What's yours?
text »
West, right? Cisco's mentioned your name.
I'm Kate. Kate Bishop. You hit me up as soon as you get assigned to a ship. Any friend of Cisco's is a friend of mine.
[ the rules are broken. kate thinks some messages are more important than the game. ]

I'll be assigned on the weekend, so that won't be for a while. Any advice on what I should do in the meantime?

[ It's like a big giant camping trip, if she's honest, except they're (literally) under the stars. ]
Speaking of food: is money a thing, and if so, do people earn it through the "ratings" I've read about?

I feel like Earth could take a page out of their books.

If I have any more real questions, I'll ask, but I think I'm starting to understand the place.

[ she doesn't outright say she knows who the flash is, that cisco's shared a lot, but the almost-opening is there. ]

[ She doesn't want to out Barry or Cisco on intergalactic television, much less on a network that over a hundred people can access. ]
Where did you call home?

text »
tbh I still live with my dad and my brother, or I did before coming here.

Right.
Speaking of nests, do we at least get our own rooms, or is it a roommate-type of situation?
text »
Anyway. Most ships, I think, have purchased enough upgrades that you'll have your own room.
