Captain Whizbang reporting

Who: Carol Danvers
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Friday afternoon (04/24)

[Video]
[ Carol's muttering as she turns on the feed, clearly talking to herself rather than anyone listening. ] -can't even get one month back on Earth before I have to deal with this shit again. I swear to god if that insane little raccoon shows up...

[ She clears her throat and straightens her shoulders, taking on a military bearing. The uniform she's wearing is a little too colorful to be military, but never mind that. ] Hello... Fleet? Captain Marvel of the Avengers here, and I did not sign up for a trip to space today, but here we all are. Don't know if any of you will know what the Avengers are, but apparently we've got some name recognition out here since the Builders War, so who knows? You can call me Carol.

Does someone want to fill me in on how long this has been going on? What planets everyone's from? Do we know anything about who took us? Annnd while we're at it... If someone could describe the ship I'm on right now, that'd be great. Can't tell anything from the inside except that it's big, and I can't find the doors or teleports or whatever they're using to get around in here.


Action: Marsiva
Carol's pacing the deck like a caged animal, eyeing the walls with a thoughtful expression that would make anyone who knows her nervous. She could blow out the big viewing window in the main room, but not without asphyxiating all her fellow captives - not really a viable plan.

But the interior walls can't be as sturdy as the hull, and assuming the rest of the ship is pressurized and has the same breathable atmosphere...

Okay, that might be assuming a lot. She steps up to the wall opposite the window and raps her knuckles hard against it, listening to the noise it makes. That noise tells her exactly nothing, because she flies spaceships, she doesn't know anything about their construction.

Carol sighs, glancing mournfully toward the ceiling. "I miss Harrison..." Sure, sometimes he tried to speak Flerken cat at her, but at least she understood that ship. Her ship.

If you cry, Captain Marvel, it is all on you, because if Anya has managed not to cry, you have no excuse.

After she gets a good long few seconds of hugging in, she loosens her grip and pulls back enough to smack Carol's arm and glare at her halfheartedly.

"Hey! You made Wendy tell me about you freaking tumor! What the hell?"

Anya has a few choice Mexican and Puerto Rican epithets for you, Carol. None of them are very nice. Sorry.

"That was stupid. I'd rather be worried than feel like you didn't care enough to tell me."

She's more hurt than angry, really, and it shows in the set of her mouth and the slight shine in her eyes.

...If nothing else, this reunion is gonna get them some significant opening ratings.

"Dios mio," she mutters, facepalming. "No, you don't get to pull that super-specific bullshit on me," she says firmly, pulling back fully and dropping her fists on her hips.

You're fucked, Carol.

"If you are having any issue that is or will be impacting your quality of life, with nothing that will explicitly and without fail fix that available? You're telling me."

She's too smart for that wordplay, Carol. She needs to know. You're basically her mother. You are her one remaining family member. Do not fuck with her.
