Intro: action/video

Who: Natasha
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: pre-Shuffle (4/18)


[Audio/Video]
[The beginnings of this broadcast are nothing but a black screen, a soft rustling, the sound of regular breathing. After a few seconds the breathing stops. Dead silence follows, then more rustling as the screen goes from blackness to a brilliant white, then a spinning blur that finally resolves with a clattering noise into the lovely white ceilings of the Marsiva. After another moment of silence, a head of bright red hair creeps into the image as the comm is picked up, eventually revealing the face and shoulders of a woman in her twenties who is clearly Not Amused. While her expression is more or less schooled, there's definitely a sense of things being repressed, emotions hidden, and words carefully chosen.]

If this is your idea of a joke, Stark, there is nowhere you can run that I won't find you.

[The threat is obvious.]



[Action, early:]
The bump on the back of her neck was obvious and irritating. Invasive. It was the first thing she'd noticed, taking stock of her own body, the loss of her weapons which galled her almost as much as letting herself be rendered unconscious. That implant seems to be the source of all the knowledge she's finding herself with as she strides down the halls, some foreign part of her mind supplying helpful names and details as she takes in her surroundings. None if it is immediately useful, so she continues to file it away in her own mind--

Until she hits the viewing bay, and even Natasha looks shocked by the view. Enough so that she barely notices the other bodies in the room as she stares, lips parted and eyes wide.

"Bozhe moi..."


[Action, later:]
They can put her in space, put things in her brain, but they can't make Natasha anything but what she is, and what she is is resourceful. Anyone visiting what passes for a gym and hoping to exercise will instead be greeted by a partially disassembled piece of equipment, and Natasha herself busily invested in the practice of trying to remove a panel from the wall by one of the entertainment console using a piece of metal presumably from said equipment, as her comm beeps at her insistently.

Corporal Maladict. And you are . . . threatening redhead number four?
deshabille: «vampire says, it's turtles» (☀ you move so fast)

Well, at least you're confident.

Predates. I got it from a man almost as scary as you are.

No, not really. I don't have space seniority. I could tell you all about castles if you wanted, but I don't think it would be applicable to our current situation.

I could tell you about engines, or you could tell me about Threatening Redhead Number One if you're tired of other people talking at you.

Nobody's boring. [And she hears that evasion. But she'll let it slide for now, because it's convenient and because she's a little bit charmed.]

You could just come by and see it, once you get on your own ship.
deshabille: «vampire eyes of embroidered truth» (☀ get the cuts you need)

[It's certainly an expression! Mal doesn't know quite what to make of it, so she stores it away for future perusal.]

It's not so hard. I figured out how to do it, and where I come from we don't have electric lights. Or plumbing. So.
deshabille: «vampire feels relatively personable» (☀ go steady with me)

[personal profile] deshabille 2015-04-29 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Yes. It felt a bit like my head was bigger on the inside than the outside. The upshot is that now I won't kill us all.
deshabille: «vampire's entertaining your ideas» (☀ for big bad step in that direction)

[personal profile] deshabille 2015-05-04 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Caprine. Are you always so fond of conspiracy theories? Not that I particularly disagree, but . . .
deshabille: «vampire doesn't get that reference» (☀ you've been so good i hear)

[personal profile] deshabille 2015-05-05 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely not. I'm just curious about which terrible way it's going to go.
