the white noise is deafening silence

[In the very early hours of January 20th, as the Marsiva and her captives drift nonchalantly through the depths of the universe, there is a call. Every single personal communicator and console springs to life, spitting out a stream of indecipherable static and showing only gray snow on screen. It continues like this for a few seconds longer, going black and then going staticky, and then the signal switches to the encrypted channel generally used for speaking to the Interceptors when something big goes down.

This is a little more successful. The voice may be familiar to some, at least through the static.]


Zhade here! I trust I ███ your attention? I'm having some ██▓▓ble ██tting through. Some of the ░▓██▓█ are missing. I can't ░▓▓▓ read on their loc█████ns. [A particularly long burst of static.] ███stening. I'll s█▓▓█ more inf██▓▓▓▓▓█ I get it.

Stay sharp! [There's the sound of someone actually doing the fingerguns wink noise, and then static.

Any messages sent back won't get through, and Zhade isn't there to answer.]

[ A blip of lost time passes right after those words, before every passenger mysteriously wakes alone in their own unfamiliar room. The style of decor resembles that of the Marsiva's Hospitality Deck, if any passengers should remember what that's like. It sounds and smells the same as the host ship as well, all clean and chrome.

Welcome back to the Marsiva, dear passengers. It's time for round three of calibrations. ]

[ This mingle will cover all non-calibration room interactions. Please continue to come back to it for the duration of the plot! You are, of course, free to post any other mingles/posts/etc. that you'd like. ]

[ Carl only vaguely remembers the last time that they were all cramped up on the Marsiva, and not so much the nightly visits. This time is a little different, though. He mostly keeps to himself or his family, sitting in quiet corners reading or listening to music. Occasionally he leaves the sanctity of the quiet to go get something to drink or make a snack. He's not really expecting to run into anyone in particular, but when he sees Makie, he smiles at her. ]

Hey.

[She smiles back at him, though her eyes are a bit glassy. It's been a rough day.]

Hello. How are you holding up?

[ He's definitely concerned for her well-being, okay? ]

I'm okay.. D'you need help?

[She shakes her head slightly.]

I'm all right. I'm... not well, but that will change. It's why I can't come back to the restaurant just yet.
