do the mingle shuffle!

[carreau]

Who: you! me! everyone! it's like a really big party!
Broadcast: if you want!
Action: see above!
When: right now!!!

[ So the weekly shuffle has happened. We got new captains, people who have mysteriously disappeared-- I mean, who have never existed, and new people aboard the ships. That's exciting! Wow! ]

[ New people, get acquainted with your ships? Press all the buttons? Introduce yourself like a polite individual? Old people, keep aging? Welcome them with open arms and confetti? Punch the person who just opened the door while you were in the shower??? ]

[ Who knows! It's a mingle post! Don't ask me!]

[ (But seriously, how bout those people who never existed, huh.) ]

Um. Well, I don't know Henry, so I can't speak on his behalf as to why he's laughing. I certainly don't think it's a laughing matter. [But maybe it's Henry's way of coping! Or maybe he's just a psychopath! Whose to say] And it's completely understand that you're freaked out! I would be too!

It's just...this isn't exactly the first time for a lot of us something like this happened.

[sugoooi]

huh

[save_the_souls]

I'm sorry. I know that's not very comforting.

I'm Allen. What's your name?

[sugoooi]

I'm Sam. what do you mean you guys did this before?

[save_the_souls]

It's nice to meet you, Sam.

And well, for me- when I was about 15, I was snatched and taken to a place called Paradisa in another world than my own. Apparently whatever brought me would snatch all sorts of people from all sorts of worlds so it could feed on our emotions.

[Leaving out the part about it being a sentient castle because well, the story's weird enough and Sam's already freaked]

[sugoooi]

Wait you went to another WORLD? like in comic books??

[save_the_souls]

Uh- yes? I suppose it's like that.

[sugoooi]

How'd you do that?? Was it a wizard did you find like a magic ball or something

Or was it like aliens? Do you think aliens brought us to space?

[save_the_souls]

[....Yeah maybe this kid has seen one too many comics...]

I'm afraid I don't know how. We never found out fully its power.

As for what brought us here, they could be anything really.

[sugoooi]

[ You have no idea how strong his comic game is ]

Can we call that announcer lady?

[save_the_souls]

No. She doesn't seem to respond.

[sugoooi]

So who do we contact of there's an emergency and stuff

[save_the_souls]

[There's a pause. Because honestly for Allen is so used to people taking care of himself. But maybe he's an innocent kid or something that doesn't have the skills everyone else does]

...Just call your Captain. Do you know who that is?

[sugoooi]

[ He's 15 and came from SUCH A NORMAL HOUSEHOLD. His biggest worry is the math test he apparently isn't taking anymore... ]

I'm alone in some sort of meeting room.

[save_the_souls]

[Wow wtf is that stuff. Sounds like witchcraft to Allen]

Um, look around the room. Are there any names written on the walls or screens? That might be the name of your ship.

[sugoooi]

[ Pleb. ]

Oh uhh lemme check!

[ Give him like 45 seconds here to kinda mosey around the place and figure it out... ]

SS Huntress? Is that it? it sounds like a boat

[save_the_souls]

Yes, that sounds like the ship's name.

I can't say I've heard of that one before, but whomever is the Captain of the SS Huntress will be your leader. So...if something bad happens, make sure to contact them.

[And pray to God it's not someone as terrible as Crowley]

[sugoooi]

[ Can anyone really beat that, though? ]

Is there anything in the ship that says who the captain is? it's so quiet and creepy here...

[save_the_souls]

[That's something we should hope never to find out]

Well, there might be a ship roster somewhere on the bridge.

[sugoooi]

Oh that's a good idea! Thanks. I'm gonna see if I can find anything I'll let you know

[save_the_souls]

It's no trouble. I hope you find something!
