action + text.

Who: Connor + you
Broadcast: Yes, fleetwide text
Action: Marsiva and the Starduck
When: November 2nd - 4th

the marsiva - action.

[Connor can't say that he likes waking up with no idea where he is or how he came to be there, but he'll concede that it's something different, at least. He rolls that concept around just long enough to get a look out of the viewing windows at the unfamiliar planets below before he gets to work.

The communicator is the obvious place to start, though Connor quickly realises that he can't bypass any of the security systems in the network. All he can do is scan through what's available. He does that over the course of a minute, frowning down at the device in his hand, before he pockets it and starts looking around the hospitality deck instead. Anyone coming across him there will find him in the process of placing his hand on various electronics and robotic equipment - the skin of his hand sliding away leaving only white plating - with an ever increasing look of mild frustration on his face, the LED on his temple spinning bright yellow.]


the starduck - action.

[Well, he knew it was coming thanks to the network information, but it's still startling when the sudden jump to another spaceship happens. Connor blinks with surprise, then takes a moment to brush the scattered confetti off his hair and jacket. The plate of pudding nearby gets only a passing glance before he leaves the bridge. He can't eat it, after all.

Instead he seeks out the other crew members of the Starduck, checking the other rooms until he finds someone.]


Hello. My name is Connor. I'm-- the newly assigned Communications officer on the ship.

[Nearly said something else there for a second before he caught himself. That's a habit he needs to break.]

fleetwide text.

I understand from going through the network that these communication devices sometimes activate on their own. Is there a pattern or cause for when they do this?

[He's got some theories himself, but the network isn't the full story. Best to get an idea from the actual people trapped here.]

I mean...that's not wrong. Elves are more attuned to magic than most folk, not that every elf is. The pointed ears thing is a deffo yes though.

Not one for fantasy reading though, huh?

Might wanna fill that gap in there then, my dude. There are a lot of different people here - and not all the humans are gonna be like what you expect either from my experience.

We've got gods, elves, werewolves, vampires, and who knows what else.

You worried we're gonna infect you with our fantasy-ness and you'll sprout a tail or something?
abracafcku: (Hold a moment)

[P e r f e c t]

Dead serious, my fella. It's been known to spread even to robots and inorganic life forms. Sometimes it's a tail, sometimes wings or elongated ears.

I heard one guy grew horns.
abracafcku: (Clear confidence)

Rumours gets their start in some kernel of truth, my dude. Hang out here long enough and you might wanna start keeping track of any unusual aches and pains.
abracafcku: (Yeah my man)

[personal profile] abracafcku 2018-11-20 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
If you ever find yourself getting little bumps in places where they didn't used to be, lemme know. I'll see what I can do about finding you a cure for what ails ya.

[And also because then he can cast Illusion and make Connor believe he's sprouting horns or something.]
abracafcku: (Suave mofo)

No probs, my dude. Good luck out there in space-land.
