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?

You settle and you start to focus on other things.
[ as far as he sees it, at least. he could be wrong ]
I've been here for almost 4 months now and I'm no closer to figuring out how to leave than when I first got here.
[ bothersome ]
Oh! Fitz, by the way. Your name?
text.
[ Iris doubts she'll find anything that other passengers might've overlooked, but better to be safe than sorry. Especially when Fitz mentions that his stay's been four months long.
As far as interdimensional kidnappings go, that's pretty lengthy. ]
Iris. I wish we could've met under better circumstances, Fitz.
I hope the "other things" you've been focusing on have been more fruitful?
text.
I wish too. Though were circumstances different, there probably wouldn't have been a meeting.
More fruitful than what I was doing previously, at least.
Have you come across anyone you know?
