MARSIVA - Hospitality Deck: Arrival Video

[ Waking up in a foreign place was extremely unpleasant. Krolia had assumed she was still in the hospital, by her son's side after their fierce battle-- she soon discovered she was wrong. She wasn't alone: There is a human male, with a metal arm (That wasn't Shiro, unfortunately), but she hadn't approached him quite yet. She awoke with a start, immediately going for her luxite blade only to find she had been disarmed, her clothing clean and repaired from previous encounters. She turns her attention to the camera. ]

I'm not used to this sort of hospitality while being imprisoned. [ A beat. ] Your attempt to placate me is noted, but I will not cooperate.

[ That is to say, she will not cooperate depending on what they are asking of her. If it had to do with her son? She will do everything to make sure he was safe. ]

MARSIVA - Hospitality Deck: B o r e d

[ Twenty-four vargas and she was steadily working through all of her meditation efforts. She has attempted training, exploring (as much as she could), and is doing her best to not pace a hole through the floor. Nothing was easing her mind of the situation. She was trapped on a ship in deep space with no idea where in deep space she was. Krolia was disciplined! She could handle being trapped, she could handle being housed in a single area, but the silence from her captors was having her start to question their intentions. ]

SS TWIN ROSES-- Bridge

[ It felt like blinking. One moment she was looking at kicking over a bed on the Hospitality deck for fun, the next she was on the bridge of an entirely new ship. Her stomach twisted, immediately dropping in a defensive stance when she finally had her wits about her. After a moment, she has the sound mind to realize that going on the defensive early on may not be the best.

She relaxes her stance, hands quickly put into a resting position behind her back. She would play their game, so let them try and catch her off guard. ]

I apologize for the sudden entrance. [ Not that she could help it. She moves to pull confetti out of her hair. ] Krolia, reporting for duty.

Fleet Wide Network-- Video

Good evening.

[ She sits with her hands folded, looking into the camera with a stern expression. Her eyes narrow slightly, but she appears relaxed in her new cabin. She has questions but-- she would let people come to her. ]

I am curious about what the point of our arrival. What goal is in mind and what information is anyone willing to share?

[There was no way he'd not recognize that voice. Keith's eyes widened for a second before he went fumbling for the communicator. That was definitely her.]

Mom?!

Keith!

[ Knowing he was here was either a cruel twist of fate or a blessing. She hadn't decided yet which it would be. ]

Are you all right? Did they hurt you?

[Keith nodded first, and then shook his head.]

I'm fine, really. I'm okay.

What ship are you on?

[He wasn't necessarily shocked to see the new arrival, exactly; even if they were still a small percentage compared to the whole, there were quite a bit of people from their home world who'd been taken here. But even so, he's surprised.]

Krolia?? Oh man, Keith's gonna flip!

Good.

[ That was a relief. She nods, before rubbing her face. She was tired. ]

Twin Roses. It has low ceilings.

Lance. [ Brow raise. ] Why would he flip?

[ And what does that mean? Earth slang is something she will never get used to. ]

[Ouch. Yeah... that could be a problem for a Galra. Ulaz had the same issue. Keith gave her an understanding look.]

I can come over. I'm on the Huntress.

I'd like that. There are many questions I need to ask.

[ She smiles at him, just grateful he was safe. Or as safe as you could be with mystery captors. ]

Because you're his mom! He's missed you like crazy. I mean, my sister showed up and I practically lost it and--

[Right. Rambling.]

A-anyway. It's good to see you again, Krolia.

I see.

[ That made sense-- the flip would be an emotional reaction and not a physical flip (though he is quite capable of it). ]

You as well. Can you tell me what is going on?

[Yeah, he can't really see Keith physically flipping his mother. ...Then again, maybe in a spar? He doesn't know. He's since given up on understanding Keith's Galra side.]

That...is a bit of a hard question to answer. To put it in a nutshell, we've been taken to another universe by some powerful mysterious forces we only know as the Atroma. There's a whole lotta people here, not just from our worlds, but from others, who all landed here like we did. We're on a fleet of spaceships, drifting from planet to planet in whatever this universe is.

[Keith managed a small smile in return.]

Okay. I'll be there in a couple of doboshes.

[He could only imagine how many questions Krolia had, really. But that was fine. He'd answer all the questions she asked. He was just happy to have her here. He hadn't gotten much time with her after she got back to Earth, and he'd honestly been worried about her and Kolivan on their own trying to find the rest of the Blades.

He cut the video feed, using the transporter to beam across from the Huntress to the Twin Roses. He hugged her as soon as he saw her, visibly in better shape than when she'd seen him finally wake up in the hospital on Earth.]

It's good to see you again.

[...oh. Well then. Shiro has told Vision that Atroma likes his people, but he can't deny, his own world is having quite the attention as well.]

Hey, Krolia. Welcome to the fleet. Has Keith found you yet?

[ A new arrival... Alisha will do what she can to help her. ]

That may have to do with what our captors want from us.

Are you alright? It can be rather disorienting initially waking up in this situation.

I was worried about you.

[ She pulls back from their hug, taking a look to check him over. The last time she saw him, he had been unconscious in a hospital bed, but once she was satisfied with his health, she stepped back. ]

Why don't we go to my quarters? We can talk in private there.

[ Or well, private-ish. She knows most ships have ears. ]

[ Of course it had to do with an amalgamation of alternate realities converging into a single one. Some days she couldn't get her head around it, but she was willing to try. ]

Does the fleet have a destination? [ Krolia must know. If the Atroma were a mysterious force, the information on them would be scarce. It would be interesting to know what they had found so far. ] How long have you been here?

He has.

[ She is relieved that Shiro is here as well. ]

Are you two on the same ship?

And what do our captors want from us? [ Her tone is a little incredulous. What could they possibly want by keeping her in comfort? ]

I'm all right. Surprised, but nothing I cannot adapt to. Thank you.

[Keith looked mildly confused at the impromptu examination, but didn't push for the moment. He nodded.]

Yeah. That sounds like a good idea.

[He followed her along. He'd never been to the Twin Roses before, and he wasn't sure which room she had ended up in, but watching her duck was a little concerning. Keith wasn't exactly short, but he wasn't anywhere near as tall as a full-blooded Galra, either. He knew Ulaz had problems with the ceiling heights now and then, too.

As a test, he reached up just as they reached her quarters and was able to easily reach the ceiling without straightening his arm completely.]

This ship has lower ceilings than the others...

[The Marsiva has more than one restless passenger aboard her decks. For a so-called hospitality area, Bucky finds the actual hospitality very much lacking. He'd really like to know why he's here, and how it is that he just knows things that he's pretty sure he shouldn't know. But no matter how many times he asks the questions, there's no answer. Frustrating barely skims the surface of how he feels about it.

But he's not alone and that's interesting. Of course part of that is the fact that his companion is the singular most interesting person he's ever seen, and he's pretty sure that includes the parts of his memory for which he still can't account. While he can't help a little bit of staring, he does his best to get it under control quickly. After all, he's more than used to being stared at himself.]

Ah, hello...? [Something tells him that they'll be able to communicate, but it's the same sort of something as the feeling of just knowing things about where he is, so he's not entirely sure that he trusts it to actually work. But it's better than making another lap of the space in which they've found themselves. There's only so much of the same scenery that a person can take.]

[He wasn’t often in the bridge of the ship since he lacked pilot augment, but Remy was on the search for a missing item. His cats had a tendency to take his stuff and go hiding them around the ship, in this case a sock, leaving him carrying around a single one that was missing it’s mate. He paused as that oh so recognizable welcome song played, signalling that new arrival.

And there she was. And looking like she was ready to fight.] Woah! It’s ok. [Remy raised a hand to show he was unarmed and not a threat, not wanting to startle her any more than she already was and letting her have a moment to compose herself.] That ok, guessin’ this all be quite a surprise for ya, was for all of us. Or, most of us, ‘m sure.

Greetin’s Krolia, ‘m Remy, [Then a bit of a grin.] Welcome to the Twin Roses.

[Vash had heard they had a new member on the ship. As one of the two co-captain (for now as he has recently just submitted paperwork to step down to first mate) he felt it was his duty to make sure they were settling in well.

Vash is a tall man just shy of six feet. In a long red leather duster jacket and his blond hair styled up like an upside down broom he probably doesn't come off as the quiet and shy type. Especially paired with the huge, friendly grin he always wears. If the fact that she's purple looking bothers him he doesn't show it. (Spoilers: It doesn't bother him in the slightest.) Quickly offering out a hand in greeting.] Hello! Welcome aboard! I'm Vash! One of the ship's co-captains! I hope you're settling in alright.

[ She nods, opening the door to her room before bending down through the doorway. It's simple (as it should be) and she'll deal with the fact she may be longer than the bed. She offers him a seat as she takes her own on the bed. ]

It'll do for now. [ It wouldn't be the first time she was in a cramped space. ] So. Tell me what you have been doing here. The last I saw you, you were in a hospital bed.

[ Which she's still concerned over. ]

[Kitty used to be on the bridge a lot when she was a pilot but since switching to engineering she hasn't spent the same kind of time just hanging out with a book and a glance at the readouts here and there. Today, she's back on the bridge but instead of sitting with a book, she's lying on her back on the floor with a panel opened up and checking out the circuitry within it. Her hands still when she hears their new arrival appear. Her head turns for a better look and she notices the defensive stance and the way it relaxes. Seems like someone fit for the Twin Roses alright.]

Hey.

[She calls out as she sits up and then gets to her feet, but not as quickly as she could. She doesn't want to make any sudden movements or surprise the woman. As she gets up she gets a better look at Krolia and is taken by the resemblance to Blink, a fellow X-Man with purple skin and facial markings.]

I'm Kitty. The captain. [Okay, technically co-captain, but she pays that little mind.]

Hello.

[ Standard greeting. She could work with this. She's almost cautious as she approaches him, knowing not many believe the Galra could be working for good. Krolia takes a moment, trying to think back to when she met her lover on Earth.

Then she extends her hand, and offer to shake his. ]

I'm Krolia. It's nice to meet you.

[ That sounded awkward. Was that right? ]
