MARSIVA

[Tim wishes he could say he woke up alert and already assessing his environment but the truth is, he's very slow, very groggy and extremely confused when he first edges towards consciousness. It's only the cold from the barren Hospitality Deck that speeds up the process. He curls up and tries to reach for blankets that his sleepy mind tell him should be there. Only their absence has him sitting up to assess his current surroundings.]

First Hour


[Tim's first priority is his own body. He appeared here still in his Red Robin uniform and after a quick pat down, he realise that's all he's been left with. No grappling gun, no bo staff which he is not happy about but at least his identity is still safe.

Standing he notices the large viewing bay first and is immediately drawn to it. Hands find themselves against the glass-like surface and he cranes to see all he can. The constellations are wrong; well not wrong but wrong for any system Tim has in his memory. He takes a couple of hurried steps back as if to take in the bigger picture. Shoulders squared, breathes coming in and out to a precise mental count, his head cocks to take in the screen playing out the default Drift Fleet Encouragement Messages.

Deep breathe in, slow breathe out.

Stuck out in an unknown system, on an unknown ship, for entertainment purposes.

Perimeter check. Yes, we can handle that.]


First 24 Hours


[The perimeter check happens. Tim goes over the entire Hospitality Deck with a fine tooth comb. First he goes over it in a basic walk through, then he ransacks the entire place; strips the beds of any sheets, opens every cupboard and every container. Then he puts everything back exactly where it was before. If it wasn't so sterile to begin with you'd swear it was neater than before.

Anything small enough in the Medical Bay will be sneaked away into pockets in the belt.

Samples of the water is steamed and then frozen and then defrosted before the food get a familiar assortment of tests. Unless he finds something that resembles coffee he does not consume any of it.]


The Next 48 Hours


[Sleep doesn't happen, it doesn't even appear to be considered. He walks along each wall, running his fingers along looking for seams and he spends a little time using the kitchen cutlery trying to pry it away at the seams.

He gives up.

He spends a little time pacing in front of the large viewing windows.

He eventually finds or clears a large empty area and falls into a series of katas. This continues for hours until Tim is a panting sweating mess on the floor.

Tim approaches the showers and glares at the walls suspiciously looking for cameras. He glares at the showers. He leaves, stripping one of the cots of a sheet and ripping it long strips from it. He then weirdly flips his cape over his head and shoulders. When he emerges, the strips of cloth are being used as a make shift zorro style mask and the cowl from the Red Robin uniform has been removed. Shower is had.

Unfortunately after re-emmerging, Tim seems to have gotten an idea and anything resembling a sheet or blanket is pulled from wherever it lives, chairs and cots are rearranged however he can manage and over a couple of hours a blanket fort is constructed in the Hospitality Deck.

Anything that resembles alfoil/aluminium/or that makes a crinkly noise is placed around the perimeter and through the most obvious entrance as Tim disappears inside.


The Last 24 Hours

[Tim sleeps.]


SS GOLDSTONE

[Tim jumps and is on his feet in seconds when confetti and welcoming music suddenly break the absolute silence of the Marsiva; or what was the Marsiva anyway. Surprised eyes scan over what looks like.. a lounge? It certainly looks more lived in than the last one.]

Hello? Is anyone there?

[He doesn't drop his defensive stance as he turns to take in the exits to this room. His cowl is still down but his make shift 'zorro' mask remains on. It looks silly.]

If you're an alien who has kidnapped me, I'd very much like to speak to you?

[Speak to you, beat you up, he can multitask.]

I don't know all the details. Pietro kind of kept to himself. [She'd always heard he was different before his sister died, but she didn't know him back then.]

And as far as the horseman thing goes, I'm not sure if he got it from the Bible or the Bible got it from him. He's immortal and he'd been around a very long time before he decided to be the worst on a global level.

Batman as in Terry? [Considering she knew him it's kind of hard not to think of him first even though she didn't meet him through Robin.]

As far as Apocalypse goes I've never asked him which came first specifically. We don't really chat. But he ego is definitely up there. [And since he's been winning for years...]

Are you looking for an answer outside of Batman here?
passingthrough: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2018-12-31 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Different realities will do that sometimes. I'm not sure if I've heard another one mentioned or not. Some of my memories are a little fuzzier than others from back then. [And she might have just attributed anything Batman-related to Terry.]

Everything worries me. You did notice I had a dagger strapped to my leg, right? That's not a sign of a relaxed, secure person. Doesn't mean you stop living.
passingthrough: (Amused - Sideways glance)

lol, I definitely got our threads crossed for that tag. Oh well.

[personal profile] passingthrough 2018-12-31 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
You're not the Atroma. You've got nothing to be sorry for. [Little smile.] Yet.
passingthrough: (Amused - Playful)

No worries! I was just tagging too late!

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-01-01 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Who knows. I'd just hate to be the one limiting you. [Embrace that life of danger?]
passingthrough: (Claws)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-01-01 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that's another way to handle it. You definitely wouldn't fit in with the X-Men though. [Kidding. Mostly.]
passingthrough: (Considering)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-01-01 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
The first one. [See if you can get Kurt to apologize for something, sweet summer child.]

Also that. Not that any non-mutants ever applied. Also, there's no application system.
passingthrough: (Suspicious - Whaaaaat?)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-01-01 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Young Justice? Really? Actually that might be better than Teen Titans. [Who is naming this stuff?]
passingthrough: (Amused - Sideways glance)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-01-01 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Just shaking her head.] I can safely say we never did business out of a giant X. Is that even structurally sound?
passingthrough: (Curious - Interested)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-01-28 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
If I told you then I'd have to kill you. [Also teasing.] We didn't advertise our locations. [It didn't stop them from operating out of a giant mansion sometimes though.] Wait, demons? Really? [Of course she's met demons. Her boss was a demon? But that's mostly been since she's been RP land. She can't say no one goes by the title back home but much like magic she tends to view it through her own terms.]
passingthrough: (Considering - Deciding about you)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-01-28 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Lots of history. You make it sound like there are generations of heroes back home.
