Who: Beat and all y'all
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Marsiva, SS Bishop
When: 3/23 and 3/24

Action: Marsiva 3/23
[Anyone on the Marsiva will be treated to the sight of a beautiful clean spaceship, the wide open expanse of space and stars, and the disaster of a human whirlwind known as Beat. Just Beat. He has no other name he wants to give people and even that's hard to get out of him when the blond teenager is just running relentlessly from door to door and wall to wall punching the living daylights out of every space he can find with the loudest war-cry he can manage.

Peace?

Quiet?

What're those?]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---

[BAM!!!! Fist meets wall.]

OW!! DAMMIT!

[And off he goes again to smash into another door or maybe punch the hell out of random empty bed.

Really hope no one on the Marsiva was trying to sleep.]

Broadcast: Marsiva 3/23
[Despite being a teenager, he's from a time before smartphones and fancy cameras built into tablets. So when he starts up the communication device, he's mad that it's taken him this long to figure it out, and it shows.]

UGH FINALLY.

[He holds the device out at arm's length like he's about to take a selfie.]

Name's Beat. Who do I gotta punch t'get back home, huh? I got stuff I gotta do that ain't here in space.

Action: SS Bishop 3/24
[With a jingle and a burst of confetti, Beat is suddenly not on the Marsiva. Hurray!

But now he's on another, smaller ship. Boo.

Beat shakes himself to get the confetti off his hat and then immediately yells as loud as he can so as many people(?) can hear him, if there are any people on this tinier ship.]

WHY THE HELL DO I KEEP GETTIN' TEENNAPPED?! WHERE AM I?!

[And who does he have to punch to get home now?!]

[OMG WOULD YOU STOP

Look her own door being punched in isn't a surprise because let's face it SHE CAN HEAR HIM COMING but nevertheless Makie would really rather be left alone to mope rest in peace, god.

Have the most flatly unimpressed look when the door flies open.]

Please stop.

[skaterbrain]

[Can't stop, won't stop, rah rah fight the powah

Or something.

He honestly wasn't expecting this door to open because the last six he tried certainly didn't. When it flies open, he awkwardly falls in after it, barely managing to keep himself from falling on his face. Beat blinks and looks at the room's sole occupant in confusion. ]

Stop what? Who're you?

[therewerefifty]

[My, the Marsiva is sure heavily populated this time round.]

Otono-Tachibana Makie. [Have fun with that mouthful.]

There is nothing to achieve by what you are doing.

[skaterbrain]

[That's a long ass name, but he's not one to talk. The thing is? He at least chose a nickname that makes it easier on people.

She's gonna be called Makie then until a better nickname comes along.]

Dunno about that, yo. I got this door open, didn't I?

[Look, he's proud of himself ok? Let him have this.]

[willynilly]

[okay, she can't help it- Ochako giggles behind a hand and then waves.]

I don't think you'll get very far with that idea... there's nobody around to punch!

video;

[skaterbrain]

There's always someone t'punch if you look hard 'nuff!

[A L W A Y S. And if not, Beat will find someone to punch. Otherwise, how is he going to get home? Ignoring what the augment in his head is saying about how he's on a reality TV show because ha ha ha he's dead and people shouldn't be able to see him on TV screens. Joke's on them.]

So I just gotta look! Or ask one of you 'cause you been here longer'n me.

[willynilly]

I mean, don't get me wrong- if the people who brought us here were around to punch I'd totally help! But I guess they don't wanna get mobbed.

[Which is reasonable, albeit unfair. How do you fight a villain you can't see??]

If you wanna ask stuff, though, I can try to help!

[skaterbrain]

What a buncha losers! They ain't got no honor if they can't even face us!

[Now Beat wants to punch them (whoever they are) three times as hard. He's going to need more fists.]

Hnnnn, I dunno what t'ask if none of you know where the Composer for this stupid Game is though...

Uh, maybe this? It true that time's stopped back home? 'Cause the stuff I gotta do? Kiiiinda runnin' outta time, yo.

[tough_love]

[Honestly the fact she was still 100% convinced this entire planet was a trap is pretty much the only reason she's already there on the bridge when the punch-happy headache got beamed onto the bridge. She'll just...let him finish yelling. Get it all out of his system. She's got scan data to look over in from the captain's chair in the meantime.]

You are indoors, so your screaming is unnecessary. And unwelcome.

This ship is the SS Bishop. And if it is of any comfort, you should not suddenly find yourself aboard yet another ship unless you request the transfer yourself.

[skaterbrain]

[Mmmmmmm okay, so SS Bishop meaning he's on a new stupid spaceship with new peo--

Beat freezes when he sees the giant red alien lady and does that thing that Looma hates.

He screams.]

AHHHH!!! GIANT ALIEN LADY!?!

[tough_love]

[Why her. Why her ship. Why couldn't he be someone else's headache? And while it's really tempting to just tear the nearest console right off the deck and hurl it right at his obnoxious face, him being on her crew means Beat's going to get a more restrained response. Relatively speaking.

She still got up while actually growling, since that at least helped keep her from hurling any number of threats his way. And after taking a moment to glare at him once she's standing at her full height, Looma stomped her way over to loom over him directly- only leaning down to do her level best to get him to shut up. Or find out if it was possible to bore a hole in someone's head if you glared at them hard enough, it could be hard to tell.]

I can hear you just fine, human. And I would prefer it if I did not have to muzzle you until you can speak without screaming your tiny little head off!

[And this is why Sayid handles all the more sensitive matters aboard the ship. Looma's terrible at it.]

Whatever questions you have, I will answer them as best I can. IF you stop shouting!

[skaterbrain]

[Full height or no, fear running through him or not, Beat stands his ground. He puts his fists up and growls back when Looma does, taking a hesitant step back as she stomps forward.]

Name's Beat, not "human!"

[His volume isn't at screaming levels, but it's still loud. He's always been loud, after all.]

Where'm I and why're you here?

action

[redatheart]

[Here Beat, also have a ranking crew member who isn't a very large red alien.

Sayid isn't already on the bridge when Beat arrives, but it's a pretty small ship. He hears the yelling and immediately moves to investigate. Yelling is generally bad.]

This is the Bishop. Your new home for the time being.

Do you have a history of being kidnapped [No, he is not using the word 'teennapped', it's ridiculous.] or are you referring to the transfer from the Marsiva?

action

[skaterbrain]

[Oh thank god, his ship isn't full of giant red aliens that he may or may not have tried to fight. Sayid, unfortunately, will have to get used to the yelling because that is Beat's default mode of loudness.

He whips around when he hears someone talking to him and is immediately on his guard the second he sees it's an adult. Might not be a giant red one, but still suspicious.]

I dunno! I jus' know I was in a spaceship and now I ain't there.

[Instead he is somewhere smaller with confetti cascading from his beanie every time he moves.]

Marimba, Bishop, whateva' its name is, it ain't home.

[redatheart]

[If it helps Beat any, the giant red alien is also a teenager. A large teenager.

...It probably wouldn't help.

Sayid is eyeing Beat's posture and body language closely, but his own is as relaxed and nonthreatening as he can make it.]

No, it isn't. You're right. But until you leave or transfer to another ship, it's where you'll be staying.

In any case, you weren't kidnapped twice. The Marsiva is simply the ship where our...hosts...hold us. Until they figure out which ship to send us to, it seems.

[skaterbrain]

[No...that doesn't help. That's even more terrifying.

And now he's on this Bishop ship instead of the Marimba because apparently that was just some holding station? He never even got to see the "hosts" and punch their dumb faces in!

Beat growls, but it isn't directed at the scruffy dude in front of him.]

Then how'm I supposed to get to 'em now? I couldn't find 'em on that big ship when I was lookin' and they sure as heck ain't here on this tiny one.

[spacebro]

Your name is Beat and you like to punch people? [Such synergy.]

Video

[skaterbrain]

Yeah? And? You gotta problem wit' my name, huh?

[He honestly doesn't see the connection.]

Video

[spacebro]

No, it's a lovely, but somewhat pointed name? Because when you're punching someone you're beating them up?

[angelofthevored]

Come see me if you break your hand, [Castiel drones as he scrolls through the network, tone like some kind of world-weary father who is done telling his children to stop jumping off the monkey bars]

action: marvisa

[skaterbrain]

Break my-- [He can't finish the sentence because suddenly being talked to has the effect of making him bump sideways into the door and bounce off it rather than punch straight into it. Beat yelps and stumbles back, tripping over himself and tumbling head over heels back toward the stranger.

He comes up, dizzy, and blinks in confusion.]

Guh...What'd I hit....?

[angelofthevored]

[Looks down at Beat about to answer, but stops himself and squints. The fuck is with this kid? He's giving off the weirdest vibes, Reaper and dead soul but alive all at once.] ...the doors are heavily fortified and warded. You'll just be hurting yourself attacking them like that.

voice.

[astrobleme]

[Shinji is more of a people watcher than a... uh, people talker-to, he supposes, but... this Beat person is just enough on this side of irritating in earning a response. So, quietly:] Even if you could punch Atroma, I doubt they'd give you what you want.

[skaterbrain]

[Bro......!!! You never know???]

Just means I'm gonna hafta punch 'em even harder then, yo! I can punch down a wall, so why not these Atroma punks?

[astrobleme]

[Punch down... a wall......

Well, if nothing else, this guy gets points for being passionate.]

I don't think they're dumb enough to... to show up and let you punch them. That's why.
