Grumpy Bird
Who: Robin
Broadcast: Yes?
Action: Marsiva & SS Goldstone
When: 4/12 - 8/12
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.]

That, yeah that was a bit blind of me. I don't do normal or idle well anymore. I didn't really think that comment through.
[Always pushing at the sensitive hurts bits he is.]
I imagine that the Atroma might have a lot of portal or dimension magic blocked off? Otherwise, I imagine they'd have people escaping a lot.
no subject
You are correct. Things can be summoned from other planes temporarily on occasion, and you might be able to cross from one ship to the other with a portal or a teleportation spell, but anything more than that is incredibly risky. Every mage has tried it at least once and the results vary from 'nothing happened at all' to 'everything exploded'.
It's not the most optimistic ratio.
no subject
No, it's definitely an effective deterrent against trying it. My first thought is there would be something on Marsiva that blocks it? Since it's well, the most obvious idea.
no subject
It doesn't even have to be on the Marsiva. [He taps his temple.] As long as we're connected to them via the augments, they can do practically anything to our bodies. One would think removing the augments would be the solution but it's never so simple; that leads to excruciating pain and then death, or so I've heard.

It's certainly not something I'd recommend experimenting with. But the ones called the Interceptors are free and occasionally in contact, so maybe they can drop us a hint next time they're around.
no subject
The Interceptors hey? are these people who have escaped? and if so, if they've dropped in before why not take people with them?
no subject
[He nods.]
They're the ones who escaped, yes, but I don't think they're able to take us with them. I haven't spoken to them before, exactly, but... When you stay on a planet and the Marsiva floats out of range, you get transported back onto the deck where everyone wakes up.
no subject
[Even if they don't seem to have returned to their home worlds. It is at least something]
