let's play a game ...

[It's been a while since your lovely hosts have graced the airwaves with their presence, but here they are. Carmen and Chase smile in turn with flawless teeth and an impeccable arch of their eyebrows. Carmen seems incredibly tickled-- excited, even. Her normally dulcet voice is brimming with anticipation, and her aquamarine eyes gleam in a way that is not altogether friendly.]

Good evening, dear Fleet! I hope you had a pleasant journey through that asteroid belt... or at least an unremarkable one. We wouldn't want your poor ships to get all banged up again.

[Chase cuts in with the brisk timing of a reporter, far too rehearsed to be natural.] And a big warm welcome to all the new faces. Please don’t hesitate to inform us if there is something we can do to make your stay a comfortable one.

Of course. Now, let's talk about summer. It’s the highlight of the year, at least for some. Because summer only happens once a year, and to commemorate how wonderful you've all been as guests, we're giving everyone a gift basket. While it's not an all-expenses-paid resort, we do hope you'll find a suitable place to kick back, relax, and enjoy yourselves.

Everyone will find their gift underneath their beds. If you're sleeping on someone else's ship-- oh my-- you'll want to make sure to fetch it before someone else does! I do hope you enjoy them.

[The gift baskets, which are wrapped in a cute pink ribbon, contain: this or that style of sunglasses, an extremely flimsy white beach towel, and a cloth sunglasses case.]

Now that we have your attention~ Summer is a party, but what's a party without games? One of my favorites is a little thing called kiss, marry, cliff. Essentially, someone gives you three names of people you know, and then you decide what you’d do to each person. I find it says a lot about your likes and dislikes.

Because I’m curious, here are some people who’ve caught my attention as of late: Castiel, Daryl Dixon, Shinji Ikari.

Tell me, dear Fleet: which ones would you kiss, marry, or toss off a cliff?

[Carmen ends the feed with a cold giggle.]



[ooc: What’s this? A distraction tactic, obviously! The Hosts are trying to draw attention away from the new planet for some reason…? Huh, wonder what that’s about. Feel free to respond to the F/M/K game and start your own threads below, if you’d like-- you may even get a response!]

[For once Fie sounds absolutely serious without a trace of flippancy.]

Don't think everyone's forgotten about what happened to the old hosts last year.

Oh, sweet! I mean, these are the tackiest sunglasses I've ever seen, but, ehhhhh. Why not.

I can't play that game though, don't know any of those guys. Well. I met Daryl once, but once isn't enough to commit!

Oh.

[look at that. it may be just a coincidence, but here they come prancing back right after they all chat about how they've only had radio silence. maybe he should poke at this a little.]

I was starting to wonder if they'd 'fired' the two of you, also.

I see that you continue to have no taste or morals.

[Edna sounds so unimpressed.]

I'd wondered if there was something worst than humans.

I'm not sure it is worth marrying a man called Dixon. You could do better.

[ But it is odd that this transmission came now, at the heels of a new location and not before when Castiel and his team were clearly flouting the rules. ]

And where do we submit our suggestions, pray tell?

If the truth is a problem for them, they should work on it. I won't apologize.

It better be a game! She said it was a game! I'm-- I'm pretty sure that's what she said, that it was one of her favorites, a-and... [Talk about max paranoia. "Here are the people who've caught my attention as of late," or something? What? What? What in the hell does that mean? In all the years he's been with the Fleet, Shinji Ikari has never once been acknowledged by Atroma itself...

Anyway, he's going to have his anxiety attack right over here. That's the sound of wheezing.]

...you should try to calm down. [are you having a panic attack dude]
astrobleme: (praecipua)

[personal profile] astrobleme 2018-06-29 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Give him a few minutes to work through his fear and his bitterness.

Finally, he's less panicked, but more paranoid. In a low voice:] I haven't done anything wrong, so I don't know why they'd want to punish me...

[And they're doing this again. Fair enough. Looma's going to respond in kind.

Which is why once she does get around to broadcasting a "response," it's a few minutes late, and she's giving the camera the same I-am-not-remotely-amused glare as she did the last time around. But hey, at least she's not near an airlock again! No, now she's on the bridge of the Bishop, and not actually holding the gift basket! Hurray, it's safe!

In fact, it can be seen juuuust a little ways outside- safe from being fired into the cold vacuum of space, sitting peacefully in an empty field near the edge of the many floating islands. That pretty pink ribbon even adds just a little splash of color to help anyone viewing from the network spot the gift basket with ease! And it's even rippling a bit in the breeze, like it's giving the ship a happy little wave.

Or, it was, until Looma presses a few buttons on her security console. The Bishop's guns roar to life immediately, and in short order the basket and its immediate surroundings are blasted straight to hell. The ship's is enough to block out most of the noise, but a series of multiple muffled booms do rattle the bridge for a bit, shortly before the hull and viewports start getting pelted with bits of falling dirt and other debris.

It's only after continuing to glare right into the camera for a few more silent seconds that she ends the broadcast. They've got to give up and stop sending her these things eventually, right?]

Are- are you in charge of this?

[What exactly are the hosts jobs? Just to heckle, apparently, but he figures it can't hurt to ask.]
