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.) ]

How so? There are likely more worlds than these, aren't the odds going to stay the same? A small chance now, a small chance another time.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Well, yeah, the mathematical odds are the same... But I'm thinking in terms of intent. If someone is controlling where we're going, especially for some sort of entertainment, I think they'd either bring us to everyone's worlds, or keep everyone separated from their own homes as much as possible.

voice;

[amarant]

Maybe. If only we knew what they were thinking...it would be easier to prepare.

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

It's true. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

voice;

[amarant]

Haven't we had enough waiting here?

[ A bit annoyed. ]

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[oh, that finally makes him laugh a little.]

You anxious for something to happen?

voice;

[amarant]

I don't like being kept to a place with no knowledge of what's happening.

[ Or, more accurately, she doesn't like the lack of control she has. ]

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I get that. I'd like to know more too. Being toyed around with... It's annoying.

voice;

[amarant]

They probably enjoy that. Whoever's watching.

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

All the more reason that it's annoying.

voice;

[amarant]

[ Exhales quickly, almost in a petulant huff. ]

I wonder how they'd like being in our place.

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[A GIGGLE.]

Probably terribly!

voice;

[amarant]

Is that what makes you happy, the idea of other people being miserable?

[ Definitely sounding amused. ]

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

No, no. [a beat.] Only when they deserve it.

voice;

[amarant]

Well, I can't say they wouldn't deserve it...

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

So, in this case, it would be amusing.

voice;

[amarant]

If imagining it is enough to amuse you, that's awfully nice.

voice;

[birdsbirdsbirds]

It's the little things in life, you know?

voice;

[amarant]

It often is, I'd have to agree.
