Who: Katie McCoy and anyone
Broadcast: Yas
Action: Vanquish
When: 23/8

[Action]

[Vanquish crew might get a heads up that Katie's woken up by the short, one-sided conversation she appears to be having with a demanding and loud cat, muffled through the walls of the personnel room where she sleeps. Not that there's a lot of talking-- a lot of silence on her part, actually, punctuated first with the sharp words "How long?" And then a little later--"Oh, I see. Taking advantage of people again, are you? Tsk."

She lets herself out of the room eventually, still blinking drowsily and her hair tugged back into some semblance of a braid, Licorice a small black shadow winding around her ankles that seems very intent on tripping her up. Which-- don't give her that, you little shit.]

Doesn't work on me. If so many people are feeding you, I bet you've had scads of affection. Don't be such a brat.

[Doesn't stop her from padding barefoot into the kitchen anyway to fetch both of them some food. Morning, crew, wherever you are.]

[Text is my favourite medium]

It seems I slept through show and tell Pity But I only got some wonderful movies to add to our collection

[...they're like D-grade. One of them's called Attack of the Killer Refrigerator, I mean c'mon.]

I wonder, has anyone seen Event Horizon? Fantastic movie, though it's very far-fetched Plenty of loving moments Morpheus fought to free his crew from a ship that wouldn't let them go before he quit and went on to try proving the universe wasn't real I love sci-fi, don't you? Better than real life any day Has anyone given thought to the fact that maybe we're the cameras? What's the worst movie you've ever seen?

[She probably has points in there somewhere. She was going to waffle about movies ages ago, but then she fell asleep. How rude.]

((ooc: I haven't linked to Katie's permissions for a while.))

[Guess who's previous game had an event based around the Event Horizon. Guess who has a smorgasbord of trauma surrounding that entire thing? You got it! THIS GUY. For once, Crowley's usually laid back demeanour changes- he actually sounds worried. ]

That- what do you mean, it was a movie? Last place I was in that was an actual thing. Portal to Hell and everything.

[...

...okay not. Actually a response she'd considered, but she can roll with that. Have a British lady, Crowley.]

If these places have taught me anything, it's that every work of fiction is likely real somewhere. [The great connected multiverse of whatthefuckery.] What place was this?

[Hi, Britsh lady, how are. How is your day now you know this is a thing? Bet it's swell.]

That is, unfortunately true. I met Sherlock Holmes once. Like. Actually him. But modern. It was weird.

Paradisa. Magical castle, kidnapped people and fed on their emotions. It sent us off into space onto the Event Horizon. And the Lewis and Clarke. We just assumed it was the castle being a piece of shit like it always was.

You're surprised? I bet we're all movies or books somewhere.

I mean, I am to some people.

[HEY, J-J-JADED]

[Aw, shucks, Katie. You know he's so relieved to see you up and about.]

Welcome to the land of the responsible adult.

This isn't as dramatic in text, but I'm relieved you're up and around.

Yeah, but in all fairness, Sam, your world is fucking insane. It's more batshit than my world and that's really saying something.

I mean how many things have you been turned into currently? What's the ballpark figure?

Oh come on, that's low-hanging fruit.

I'm just saying... y'know. We might be in books in other universes.

...

Enjoy the notoriety.

I am an expert in low-hanging fruit.

I'm already in a book. It's a big one. Rather popular. What's it called again, let me think, oh yes The Bible.

[It's... actually just a surprise to what's framed as a perfectly innocent question. Because the idea that such a thing could happen was a foregone conclusion with Katie.

...the castle of emotional vampirism rings a familiar bell, too. That's pure Shadow Court territory. But that aside, she winces, because she might assume it was definitely plausible but she wouldn't want to go through that shit.]

Perhaps the castle is an avid movie watcher. Or those behind the castle, anyway. You weren't kidnapped by fairies, were you?

Which character?

[I HAVE TO ASK.]

land of the responsible adult?? bye I'm going back to sleep

[But seriously. She knows.]

I suppose I can't annoy you terribly while sleeping, though. How's live in double vision land?

Science fiction is my captain's genre, not mine. If you'd like to talk those with her, I can tell you when she wakes up.

[Because Kitty will wake up. He refuses to believe otherwise.]

[HE'LL SIGN AUTOGRAPHS AND EVERYTHING. ]

Serpent of Eden.

Possibly. It did it regularly- changed its setting to some crazy thing. It sent us to a dinosaur island twice. Anything to get a good emotional reaction from us.

[He shrugs.]

If there were, we never saw them. From what we learned, the castles themselves were sentient. There were a few in the world, but only ours was still... active.

i haven't ever heard of that movie but i love science fiction movies one of my favorites is on the network it's called demon marines of draconis-9

being on cameras all the time is pretty normal isn't it

the worst movie i've ever seen is this one called forever love 19 and it's just like about this dude from the army who is sad about everything and his boyfriend who is sad about everything and then they are sad about everything for like two hours and then they both walk into the ocean the end i really didn't understand it but they both had nice butts i guess

I have never seen a movie before

[Jack is idle today. Movies sound interesting.]

By "we're the cameras"... are you theorizing that the augment could reach as far as our eyes?

[even as just an idle thought that's pretty fucked up, katie]

[...well. That's creepier.]

Kind of like our host ship is the only one functioning here, isn't it? We keep finding dead ones.

[There's a reason she brought up Event Horizon. Sadly, traumatising a demon wasn't planned.]

Oh, well then. At least you're a good character. Fruit trees are there to be eaten.

But I'll be bored in a few hours. I could introduce you to science fiction! I think everyone on a giant mysterious ship that likes to eat people and ships should be into science fiction.

[sdkfljsdf well she's laughing over here.]

nice butts can save many a movie though that does sound like an awful lot of moping it isn't where I come from. My entire world is very camera shy.

Have you seen a play? Imagine kidnapping all the actors and shoving them into a tiny box. Then every time you click a button they're forced to go through the whole script again.[No, Katie.]

Theorizing sounds very dull. I wouldn't dream of it.

[But gj Mikleo, you get it. It's a relief.]

Augments do seem very powerful, don't they? Something capable of randomly turning us into children could do what it damn well pleased.

It's been... the usual.

I'm reaching out for potential help after you lured some magic users in. So.
