Waking up on the Marsiva

[Manji awakens with a start and falls out of the welcome bunk with a shout.]

RIN! I’M COMING!

[The slam on the floor is what first helps him realise that he’s not where he was before. There wasn’t nearly enough snow.] Where the hell am I? [His voice is gruff and angry. He is in no mood for games as he strides down the hall, a surly, scarred man in a black and white kimono. Missing an arm doesn’t make him any less intimidating.] Where am I? Who is responsible for this!? SHOW YOURSELF!

[Rin was freezing somewhere! He didn’t have time for being out among the stars! He needed to--- wait, did he just pass a window with nothing but stars outside?

He stops and trails back to stare dumbly at the window.] Oh… [Well, that’s different.]


”Accidental” Video - Open to All

[Sometime after Manji and Makie are reunited and have gotten past that whole: My boss wants me to kill your boss thing - oh, god please don’t hurt me Makie awkwardness, the video feed on Manji’s device is turned on-- only the video is very shaky and being filmed upside down.

And there’s a very “mansplainy” voice being broadcast out to everyone.] --and that’s how that works. At least I think it works that way. Now this thing! [The camera is given a vigorous shake.] I’ll be honest. I’m not really sure what this thing is for. I just found it. It’s very loud. Kind of annoying, really.

...here.

[A slender hand reaches into view briefly, and then the communicator is carefully set the right way up. Makie stares down at it briefly, then retreats out of sight to leave Manji staring blankly in her wake.]

Eh? What’d you do that for? [He hasn’t figured out he’s broadcasting yet, but he has figured out one thing.]

Wait. Do you know what this is? [He shakes the camera in Makie’s direction, sounding completely shocked.

Makie...just stares at him. Predictably.]

(OOC: In the video you may get Manji or Makie. If you want just one or the other please let us know! If you want them both in an action thread just let us know otherwise it will just be Manji on action.)

Comments

[Action. Before all that mansplaining.]

[therewerefifty]

[Memory of the sterile room she finds herself in takes a while to seep back, and for a long while Makie had been content to lie in bed, staring at the ceiling. She can still feel the disease in her lungs. It's an old friend by now. But the other hurts are long gone.

It's not really surprising.

She doesn't really move until she hears the yelling echo down the hallways. Familiar and surprising. It takes her a moment to sit up, tucking her shawl close. Manji has already thundered his way past before she can get to the door, pushing her palm against the plate to slide it open.

...right about the point Manji was demanding those responsible show themselves. Whoops.]

1/3

[canofmanji]

[Manji turns towards the sound of a door opening. More than ready to give the “person in charge” a piece of his mind. No, it didn’t matter that he was currently unarmed (literally) he was angry and god help the fool who just stupidly decided to show their face—]

2/3

[canofmanji]

[Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.]

3/3

[canofmanji]

[Lets see how dead he is.]

Is Anotsu here?

[He doesn’t have time to waste on her. He had to find out what happened to Rin now so he cuts straight to the chase.]

[therewerefifty]

[Makie regards him quietly, features more drawn and thin than the last time he saw her. She keeps her distance, arms still folded into her shawl.

What an odd question.

...then she notices the hang of his kimono. His arm? Surely he didn't lose it in coming here. Something's off.

...]

...no.

[As always I am a woman of few words. Unless I'm oversharing in a fight, you know how it is.]

[video]

[passingthrough]

[Kitty browses through the network, catching a new voice. He sounds annoying. Maybe she'll deal with him later. She's ready to scroll past when another voice catches her attention and she stops in her tracks. Well, stops, flips her own video on and calls out for her former crewmate.]

Makie!

(OOC: Kitty obviously wants Makie. I'm happy to have a thread with both. However you want to roll!)

[video]

[therewerefifty]

[Welp. If he's shocked she adjusted his grip, he's going to be more shocked when voices yell out of it. Specifically, one calling for her.

Makie has retreated to a nearby seat to rest, but she hears Kitty. A moment later, her own comm unit switches on and she peers back. She's as pale and gaunt as she was when they first met, and for a long moment Makie stares at her like she's a stranger.

Then her eyes soften. Her memory's catching up.]

Kitty. You're still here.

[video]

[passingthrough]

[She'd hoped her understanding of how to use the device was reason enough to believe her memories were back, but the look she gets from Makie and the changes in her appearance make her doubt it again until she says her name. She gets a relieved smile.]

Always. And I've been the only girl on the ship thanks to you. [Though Merlan had been with them briefly.]

[video]

[canofmanji]

[Don't mind the shouting in the background you two. Please happily ignore the idiot in the corner.]

Wait? You have one too? How does this thing know your name? Is there a soul trapped in it?

Wait, four months?! You've been here before?! Why didn't you tell me?!

action - after all the mansplaining

[angelofthevored]

[Don't mind this beleaguered tax accountant eyeballing you guys from his own bunk as he scrolls through the communicator posts. He just wants to make sure nobody's gonna get killed, since that dude is a spaz and that lady is giving off gentle 'kill u' vibes.]

[canofmanji]

[Now that it's been established that Anotsu isn't here, and neither is Rin, Manji has been able to start taking in his surroundings a bit more.

Like the western looking dude who is dressed like a nerrrrrrrrrrd. If Manji knew what that meant.] Yeah? And whatcha lookin' at?

[Haven't you seen an immortal, one armed, heavily scared samurai before?]

[ action | after the mansplaining ] both or one or the other! \o/

[watermarks]

[Katara, a little wobbly on her feet, is in the dining room. She is streaming water out from a cup into a small glass tube that is a part of a bracelet and frowning as she does so.

Seriously, why leave her the bracelet and take out the water? It wasn't as though there wasn't water in the atmosphere, in the pipes, in the cafeteria...]

If she's not using her bending to stream the cup let me know and I can change this!

[canofmanji]

[Manji comes storming into the kitchen by kicking open the door and quickly looking around the room.

He seems surprised to see Katara and even more the water.] What are you some kind of witch?

[That seems to be the only answer.] Are you the one who brought me here? Put me back! [He snarls out the order, but don't move from the doorway yet. He's not armed and isn't stupid enough to advance one someone he thinks is a witch without at least some sort of weapon.]

I'm down for both. :Db

[collegedropout]

Ahm. Makie?

[It's not usual for people to return once they've left, honestly. There are a few people who cycle through Sam's life more frequently — uh, Cas and Dean, really — but Makie is certainly catching up with them now. Good on her, consistent and unexpected appearances are a true Winchester trait (that nobody wants or asks for). He's distracted by the guy, too, of course.]

Did you make a... friend?

[therewerefifty]

[Sam's face comes back to her more readily than others. They've been through a lot more, what with ... Diereadh. That was it. Lord, how did she forget so much?

Her expression is maybe a little more thawed for him than others. Her tone... not so much. Because that question.]

No.

[canofmanji]

No. [Manji is in agreement on this one.] Not even close.

[But more importantly.] Another one? How long have you been here?

video

[monolike]

Makie! You're back, do you- can you remember anything? It's me Sorey!

video

[therewerefifty]

[She remembers it all by degrees. It's strange. She still feels disconnected, but she thinks here, she just has to smile.]

I remember you, Sorey. How have you been?

Not here

[canofmanji]

[Seriously? A third one? What the hell, Makie?]

video;

[willynilly]

[G A SP

Ochako leans into the comm, eyes wide, her tone eager and excited.]

Ah! Makie! Is it really you!? And you have a friend with you!

video;

[canofmanji]

[And another one?! How many friends now Makie have here!? He's starting to get the feeling that Makie has been around for some time.] Why does everyone assume we are friends?

video;

[therewerefifty]

Ah...not quite. We know each other.

[There's a whole history there that involves her mostly murdering him that one time, it's very awkward. ...did she just use the frenemy, that's not a word, surely. (She remembers it for later anyway.)]

Hello, Ochako-chan. Have you been well?

[video; either or both!]

[ecclesiophobic]

[Much like Kitty, Kurt's attention is caught by the second voice, a soft tone that makes his breath catch. He knows that voice; he heard it every day. But after Wrath came back, and went, and the people he's witnessed come back without memories--.

Kurt swallows his hope and turns on the camera, his expression stone-like. Because he's a jerk, he makes certain before doing so that the lighting is good enough for a clear shot of his face.] It seems the lady is the brains of the operation.

Might be in your best interests to put her on, hmm?

1/2

[canofmanji]

Hey! You can jus- [Whatever he WAS going to say is forgotten when he gets a good look at Kurt's face.]

2/2

[canofmanji]

HOLY SHI-BANG!

[And Kurt should hail Makie on her own communicator or she needs to pick up Manji's from across the room where he just threw it against the wall. Although Kurt can probably still hear Manji.]

Be careful! There's a demon in there!
