Calibration Post 1, "Daytime"

[ Not long after the shuffle, there's a ripple of static over the network - loud, sudden, and seemingly with no origin. It's puzzling, but there's no indication that it's going to happen again...

Until a minute later. Another surge of static comes in over the speakers, and then a voice - one some may find familiar, though not necessarily welcome, after all of this time... It's Diamond. Long time no speak, hmm?

Clearly, not all is well. She sounds very far away, for one. For another, she sounds... skeptical, almost alarmed. There may actually be real concern in her voice. ]


Again? Twice in one c--

[ Her sentence is cut short with a strangled gasp, followed by a moment of silence. What follows may be the sound of metal dragged across metal, but it's hard to place. When she speaks again, it's uncharacteristically monotonous. ]

... Bring them in.

[ A blip of lost time passes right after those words, before every passenger mysteriously wakes alone in their own unfamiliar room. The style of decor resembles that of the Marsiva's Hospitality Deck, if any passengers should remember what that's like. It sounds and smells the same as the host ship as well, all clean and chrome, but this set of rooms has only been used once, and for the very same purpose that befalls the fleet contestants now.

As for their hosts, there is no immediate sign of them, though some may recall a series of hideous, half-electronic screams before their memories begin to blur upon arrival...

Welcome back to the Marsiva, dear passengers. It's time for round two of calibrations. ]

[Sokka recognised the room, and as he stepped out of it, his fears were confirmed. Great. Wonderful. He exhales, annoyed, following the long corridor to the living area. ]

Seriously? This is how you get back at us? This again? It's not even trying.

[First, he's all but alone. Then suddenly, he wakes up and there are people around. Not to mention, the change in clothes and sleeping quarters, and...is this par for the course?

Whatever.

Lance is wandering around again, trying to figure out what's going on, when he spots someone he recognizes from the communicator video the first day he was here. He smiles and jogs his way over.]


Hey! Sokka, right?
alwayscomeback: (With without)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2017-06-09 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sokka is already reaching up to take down one of the cameras. He knows it won't actually do anything, but he can enjoy the brief feeling of taking away one of Atroma's toys for a day. He turns at the sound of the voice and offers a wan smile, raising a free hand in a salute-come-wave. ]

Hey, Lance. Wow, you didn't even get shuffled before they pulled all this. Bad luck, dude.
the_tailor: (10)

[personal profile] the_tailor 2017-06-09 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. But I guess it's not all bad if there are actually people here with me now?

[He shrugs, peering over at the camera in Sokka's hand.]

You able to find anything out from that?

[For just a few moments after waking, Yuan's first thought is not of the Fleet or the Marsiva, but somewhere else sterile and gleaming. For just a few moments, he wonders if he somehow dreamed the world's salvation, if some accident befell him, if Mithos found out and he's in a cell somewhere and he only imagined that the future was going to be all right.

But Mithos wouldn't have left his clothes neatly laid out nearby. There's his communicator, and the ocarina he found in the temple on the water planet. Slowly, he begins to breathe again, forces himself to get dressed before trying the door.

He's still moving slowly and looking rather shell-shocked as he leaves his room (the door opening is an immense relief) and makes his way down the hall.

[Victor is confused by waking up in a new room with new clothes. He pushes himself up and considers where he is before checking that his ring is still on. When he sees it he feels relieved.

He considers the room without really understanding what is happening. Eventually, he figures out how to open the door. This definitely isn't where he should be. There are people starting to filter out of their rooms. He realizes the door he came from has his name on it when he takes a look around, and the other doors have other names.]


Yuri?

[So time for him to pick a direction and try to find the door with Yuri's name on it. He'll stop and chat in the meantime if needed, but his first priority is finding Yuri.]
nonono7: (get ready baby)

[personal profile] nonono7 2017-06-09 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ When Nono wakes up in a drab sterile room, with nothing but a flamingo blanket and a couple origami cranes, she's first reminded of the sterile hospital rooms that her onee-sama had been holed up in. Onee-sama hadn't liked those. Nono wasn't sure she liked this, either.

She gathered up that flamingo blanket and made her way out into the living area. ]


Hellooooo? Anybody else know what's going on? [ She waves that bright flamingo blanket to try and get people's attention. ]
nonono7: (you're such a big tease)

[personal profile] nonono7 2017-06-09 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Something about his words draws Nono's attention, and the tol pink-haired girl wanders over

She's carrying that bright flamingo blanket if that's something Sokka would notice ]


'Again?' Do you know what's going on?

[This is Gil's first day with the Fleet and it is not the average welcome. He wakes with real confusion because he had been working on the Tempest last thing he remembered and now he's in a place with a weird tank top and shorts and no hint at all how he got here.

Honestly, his first panicked thought is that the Tempest was attacked and boarded and now Ryder and her crew are in tiny cells about to be experimented on by the kett, but nothing around him shows any sign of being designed by the kett, or anything like what they've seen in Heleus at all really.

He makes it out of the room, a little surprised to find that it opens without fuss, and then looks around.]

What the fuu-?

Living Space

[personal profile] mongoosecrow 2017-06-09 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, everything just getting more and more weird by the second, and this is from someone who literally abandoned his entire galaxy and woke up 600 years in the future voluntarily.

That said, at least shelves on entertainment seem familiar-ish. Even more surprising, though, is the fact that there are titles that look familiar to him.]

Blasto Saves Christmas. [He reads has he takes it from the shelf.]

Oh come on, you guys couldn't at least have any new Blasto they made after we left the Milky Way? New Blasto films would be a galaxy wide treasure. [He's speaking to no one in particular. Don't mind him. He's still a little weirded out by this entire situation]

[personal profile] goldkiss 2017-06-09 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Nono! [Victor looks relieved to see a familiar face.] Are you all right?

[She can probably already guess the next question that comes from his lips.] Have you seen Yuri?
nonono7: (are you ready)

[personal profile] nonono7 2017-06-09 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Victor! [ And, wow, he wasn't even waiting for an answer to if she was all right before moving on.

Aw well, she was fine. It would take more than this to hurt her. ]


I haven't seen him. It looks like there's a bunch of people here though! I'm sure he's around!
touchallthebooks: (curious)

[personal profile] touchallthebooks 2017-06-09 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[The clothes are uncomfortable, he misses his robes immediately and the fact that they covered the Eye of the Kirin Tor branded on his left forearm.

Searching the room, he's glad he find some of his own clothes, a couple of his books too, tucked away. Along with the cloak Belthazar had made him. It doesn't take long for him to change, preferring the warmth and comfort of the familiar. As well as covering his arm. There's no hiding the new scar on his face though, running down from his left eye to his chin, but that doesn't bother him as much. He earned both but the scar is a good reminder.

And then he leaves to explore, making his way to the main room. It's been some time since Khadgar last woke up on the Marsiva but he remembers how it's styled. He's made an effort to commit everything about the fleet that he can to memory.]
goldkiss: (hey now rude)

[personal profile] goldkiss 2017-06-09 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah sorry, Nono. He's just very focused at times. He does seem a little disappointed that Yuri is still missing though he also realizes he really should have probably actually let her answer the first question.]

And... are you hurt at all?
alwayscomeback: (And I'll take mine)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2017-06-09 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true, people are awesome. Though uh...it's probably gonna be super crowded in here if what I think is happening is happening.

[He frowns, pulling it apart, playing about in the wire-y innards. ]

Probably not. I'm just doing this out of spite.
alwayscomeback: (Who decides the rules)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2017-06-09 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sweet jesus that blanket is awful, why do they even HAVE those? ]

I have a good idea. When we hit our first year here, Atroma did this thing called Calibrations. It was the only time we were all on the Marsiva together, with sleeping quarters and everything. If I have to guess, I'd say it's this again.

[Crowley's done this before, and even if he didn't particularly enjoy it, he isn't panicked. Just more crazy bullshit, really. Same shit, different day.He notices Yuan moving around, looking like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs and wanders over, raising a hand in greeting. ]

'Lo, Yuan.
nonono7: (this feeling of love)

[personal profile] nonono7 2017-06-09 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Aw, that's sweet. He's asking again because he's concerned! What a good friend. ]

Oh, no. I'm fine! I've been smacked around by space monsters and came out fine, it'll take more than waking up somewhere weird with no idea of how it happened to hurt me.
nonono7: (you're such a big tease)

[personal profile] nonono7 2017-06-09 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She squints a bit. Peeeeeeeeeers at Sokka, maybe even leaning in a bit uncomfortably close. ]

Calibrations...?

But it's mostly humans here, right? Humans don't get calibrated.
alwayscomeback: DNS (I can't stand to fly)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2017-06-09 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uh...not that kind of calibration.

[He rubs the back of his head, where the augment is. He grimaces. ]

It's them, playing with our minds. We got to sleep and like...see each other's memories? It's really hard to explain.

Nook

[personal profile] kill_switch 2017-06-09 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You know who doesn't like being caged? This girl. The first few days she makes a full sweep of the space; rooms, living area, kitchen, bathing area, any space she can get to she's checking out ever square inch of it. The longer time goes on, the more her energy shifts from something perseverant to more akin to a caged dog. Eventually she falls into the habit of grabbing a coffee and tucking away in a nook, leg twitching, fingers tapping on the tabletop, or otherwise somehow fidgeting in some way. Being caged with not even a view of the outside and being deprived of weapons has put her in a very bad mood, on top of poor sleep outside of calibration room visits, which don't hep much for rest either.

Approach with caution.

Crowley. [He doesn't want to seem too obviously relieved, but he is so relieved to see a familiar face.] ...Where are we? Has anyone figured out what's going on?
