THE DRIFT FLEET

Won't You Come Away With Me?

Posted by: thespaceopera

[ It's been about one Earth week since the final encounter.

The dark, formless creature - whatever it was - met its end thanks to a group of courageous and quick-thinking Fleeters. Once the amorphous entity fell, its creeping and entangling reach into the very systems and inner-workings of the Marisva immediately released, freeing the ship and opening control to anyone who could manage such a monolith of a vessel.

Anyone like, say, a pair of artificial intelligence programs - ones specifically designed to operate an Atroma-built host-class ship...

Carmen and Chase were spared, freed from their bladed fate by the kind-hearted Fleet. What's more, with the sadistic and world-hungry influence of the creature gone, their code is no longer stifled and corrupted! When they finally awoke a few days ago, and realized just what happened to them... and what could have happened to them... they immediately set about making things right. They tapped into the host ship's systems - properly, this time - and busied themselves with getting everything in working order again. They have a ship to repair, and a Fleet to lead from system to system. It's time for them to be what they were always supposed to be: gracious and enthusiastic hosts, as well as the most charismatic tour guides you could ever hope to show you the stars~

They've even reached out to help Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, who has been busy in the Core Chamber with other science-minded Fleeters... as well as anyone who just wants to spend time with a young, beautiful, happily singing Core. ♥ Marsiva is her name, and this ship is her -- for now. One day, she'll grow strong enough to become a habitable planet, just like her sisters! But the scale of time for planets is so much larger than humans. It's impossible to know just when she'll be ready! So, until then, she'll grow. And she'll tour the known universe, singing songs of exploration, curiosity and wonder, looking for perfect places to maybe one day settle down.

Today, whether you're killing time on the Iskaulit, touring the now open (and hastily being repaired/renovated) Marsiva, or spending your time in your own ships while you wait for any sort of news... Your wait is over. ]

All right, everyone.

[ Dr. Mrs. The Monarch is tired, but proud of herself and everyone who's been helping her, as she video-broadcasts to every channel and every device on the Fleet. ]

We've got Marsiva back in control of her own powers, and we've got the ship's computers set up to help pinpoint things and guide her reach wherever it needs to go. I'll spare you the technobabble, but long story short? We're done here. It's all fixed.

It's... It's time to go home.

[ She smiles. ... Then she clears her throat, waves a hand dismissively to get herself back to business! ]

Sorry, it's just been over ten goddamn years. Anyway! Like I said, it's all ready for use.

So, if you're ready to go back home, just come to the Core Chamber. I can absolutely guarantee you'll go right back to whatever moment in time you got pulled from, and everything will be fine. And if you'd rather go to someone else's world, then I mean, sure, we can do that too. So long as it's in the system - and, trust me, I'm willing to bet good money that it will be, these databases are massive.

The other option is to stay here, keep drifting. Marsiva's journey isn't over, she's gonna keep going - it's just that now, she can go wherever she wants. And hell, if you all want to tag along with her, there's no reason not to. You've got the hosts here to keep everything running smoothly - including those auto-repairs on your own ships. Most of the glitches in all of the systems should be worked out soon, if they're not already.

If you've got any questions, now's the last chance you'll get before you get shipped back off to wherever you came from - or wherever else. So make 'em count.

Otherwise... guess this is goodbye, Drift Fleet. 'Cause personally? I'm going the hell back home. [ There's that smile again. ]

Once More, with Feeling...

[It comes at some point in the mid-afternoon, not that space is anything but timeless. The Fleet holds its collective breath as a lone figure works tireless at the controls, surrounded by as much machinery as could be feasibly cobbled together in the span of a few short weeks… But Zhade is here and working hard, and at last he finds an opening.

Communicators and consoles light up everywhere, broadcasting his voice and half-shrouded face in a broad echo. There's nothing to lose, and no reason to hide themselves any longer.]

This is Zhade! Prepare yourselves-- the shields are about to come down! You'll need to hit it with everything you have. Spells, cannons, everything, all of it. Don't you dare hold back, not after the heroics you've shown us time and time again!

[He wipes some sweat from his scarred brow and hits a button, broadcasting instead an image of the Marsiva. The space around it crackles and sparks visibly, lightning rippling over the barrier in a honeycomb fashion. This is the same view as from any of the Fleet's windows. The audio picks up the sound of things sparking and crackling around Zhade, but this doesn't slow him at all.

Instead, he roars a simple command:]

FIRE—!

[The shields are down, and all is laid bare.

What happens next is up to the combined strength of the Fleet, whether they are firing upon the ship to maintain a distraction or boarding the ship themselves.]

[ooc: Please see the latest drift post for information on toplevels, threading, etc. and what to expect.]

When: Quatre's arrival and later

Broadcast
Hello, everyone. My name is Quatre Raberba Winner. It is nice to meet you all.

I am sure that this has happened often, but I have some questions about this place if anyone would be so kind as to answer them.

Action - Huntress
[After a short time on the ship called the Marsiva, Quatre found himself here... on the ship called the Huntress with some surprising random fanfare.

So he sets out to explore the ship, see who else is there and what the ship is like. It was weird, he thought, that he had been assigned as a cook when he had so many other useful skills... Well, maybe he can put them to use anyway]

Action - Planetside
[This planet... this planet was beautiful. It was everything he had ever pictured planets to be. He takes to wandering the settlement enjoying the scenery.

But he can hear it, practically feel it in his space heart. The planet is trying to say something to him. To all of them. He's sure of it. As much as he loves the scenery, this part bothers him greatly. In the early morning, he stands, trying to figure out the planet is trying to say]

When: Now

( Read more... )

[ located between the beach and the forest, there seems to be an open air party happening. on the beach, there seems to be rows of white tables loaded with food. entrees, side dishes of all shapes, sizes and types. there’s something for everyone here to take and try out. and true to his word, taako has set up two large tables for desserts; cakes, cookies, fruits and two large chocolate fountains for people to dig things into. if you miss something, don’t worry, the tables are quickly refilled by ghostly waiters who bring them out on little trays for you to pick out and try.

a little further into the forest, there is a dance floor. nothing fancy, just leaves that carpet the ground, but on a table rests a few masks that you can try on and they will have you dressed in an appropriately fancy outfit to take to the floor. once you take off the mask, the glamour fades, so feel free to use them for as long as you want. the music that plays ranges from soft, easy jazz to livelier beats. where is it coming from? who knows, but you can probably say your preferences out loud and it will change for you.

if the party is too much or too busy for you, there’s a small area in the woods, laden with pillows and rugs for you to relax and soak in the atmosphere. not everyone is a party person and loki has accounted for that. ]

Who: Keith, You
Broadcast: Open
Action: Huntress, Planet, Etc... system catch-all
When: While in the current sytem

=====

So, um... looks like I'm behind the curve again. [Keith chuckled a little darkly, not fully humorous. The rest of the team had gotten their bayards, he'd gotten his Blade... and then bayard later (though it had been the Black one, which, at the time, had made no sense and just threw confusion between him and Shiro). Then, everyone go tiny versions of the Voltron Lions and Shiro got a tiny Atlas. Keith had gotten Kosmo as a puppy. Now, he had the Black Lion... when it was just him and Lance from Team Voltron left.

At least Red was around? Keith shifted the video slightly to show the two tiny robots sitting near each other.]

Everyone, meet a tiny version of the Black Lion of Voltron. Though, without all five of them, we still can't form Voltron, so... sorry. No tiny Voltron.

=====

{OOC: Open to action prompts just about anywhere as well. Keith will probably keep the Black Lion with him for a while as it's small and easy to steal, and there were issues with that back home for a while where Zarkon kept trying to take it back from Shiro, so... Yeah. Keith's wary. If you want to pre-plan, feel free to PM the journal or hit me up on Plurk at duches77.}

Posted by: thespaceopera

Who: The Interceptor Fleet representatives and any Drift Fleet members who wish to attend
Broadcast: NO. **ALL communicators must be left outside of the meeting place!!**
Action: At the specified meeting point - a clearing in the forest
When: Tonight

[ Before We Begin... ]
[ There's still some time before everything is set to start. The representatives for The Interceptors are already here, of course - you can talk freely to Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, Kid ("Angel"), or Duo Maxwell, if you choose. Answers to any questions you have might get put on hold until during or after the meeting... unless you just want to know more about them and their fleet, personally. That's up to their own discretion~ ]

[ The Game Plan ]
[ Right on time - not even a second after - Dr. Mrs. The Monarch moves to the center to begin. ]

All right. We've got a lot to talk about. So let's get started with what's most important: we've got a way into the Marsiva, and we're gonna take it.

When Duo and I got stuck in there for those damn Calibrations, he set up some explosives to help us get out of there - which wouldn't have worked on its own, but he managed to hit something pretty damn important: the reparative generators. They're still online, but as you probably noticed from the looks of the ship right now, they're not doing so hot. And that's perfect for us. Honestly, if we can locate those and hit 'em again, that'd be all the better for us, wouldn't you think?

The Marsiva's shields... those used to be a huge problem, but apparently our designated Interceptor fleet stowaway got 'em down after you guys helped him get a lock on our location in there - which, thank you for all that, by the way. You guys know who you are. Calibrations could've been... a lot worse otherwise. Anyway, Zhade's pretty damn sure he can do it again. Just needs some time, some backup firepower, and the perfect opening.

That's where you guys are gonna come in. Not sure how long you guys are staying in this system - it's usually about an Earth month or so, right? - but use that time to upgrade your ships, especially the weapons. Probably the shields, too. I don't know, depends on how you wanna run things. Hell, arm yourselves too, 'cause we'll be boarding that thing and taking down who or whatever's in our way. [ A pause. ] Maybe we'll run into your lovely show hosts. Wouldn't that be fun.

I don't know exactly who or what we'll run into in there, but we've got enough intel that we can make an educated guess: it won't be human. Probably won't even be humanoid, unless it sends some kind of worker robots at us. Does it even have those? I don't know. I can't predict what's gonna happen, so be ready for just about anything. Whatever's in there, we've gotta deal with it if we're gonna have any chance of freeing ourselves for good, especially if we wanna get home.

And... As for getting home... I have some ideas. And theories. And honestly, I bet I can get it to work out in everyone's favor if I can just get at whatever makes the whole pulling-people-from-other-worlds thing happen. We've found a lot of hints and some really valuable tools, but I can't make a one hundred percent fully formed plan until I know exactly what I'm working with. So once we get inside, that's what I'm gonna be looking for. And if any of you are weird-alien-technology-magic-inclined, well, I could probably use some extra pairs of hands once we find whatever it is to work with. But trust me, I'll get it to work. ... I've got a husband to get back to. And I know a lot of you feel the same way.

So, that's the overview. In short? Hit the Marsiva to get its attention. Zhade drops the shields. Hit the Marsiva even harder, aiming for the reparative generators. Board it. Find Atroma - whatever they are - and make 'em pay. Get to the bottom of what's brought us and is keeping us here. Figure it out, save the day, everybody wins. Sound good?

[ Feel free to interject at any point with questions, ideas, requests for specifics/clarification, random commentary... anything at all. This is a meeting, not a presentation - they want to hear from you too! ]

[ Q&A Time ]
Okay, I know that was a lot. Anyone got anything to say about it? Need me to go over something again? Or if you guys have any of your own ideas, we'll take 'em. We're gonna need every possible angle and advantage to pull this off, you know.

[ The floor's open. Anything you want to ask? Anything you want to say?

After it's over and the meeting is adjourned, the Interceptors won't want to linger for very long, but they will hang out long enough to talk for a short while. Got something that deserves a more one-on-one conversation? Now's the time to do it. ]

(( ooc: If you'd like to speak to Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, Duo, or Kid specifically for any reason, please let us know in the subject line or bolded somewhere in your comment - it would help us out a lot! You can also use this post to mingle among yourselves, maybe generate some joint ideas or jointly comment on the proceedings. Anything goes!

[ Oh look, it's the SS Starduck lab! Looks like the resident ~~nerd~~ alchemist has another announcement/offer to make. ]

The technology on this planet is amazing, and I'm finding that a lot of it lines up really well with alchemy! So, I've been doing some research of my own [ to put it lightly ] and found ways to recreate a lot of the items and weapons-enhancements that I regularly made for my friends and colleagues back home!

So, well, I wanted to offer my services here, too! If you have an idea for something really cool you want a weapon to do, as long as you help me get the materials for the synthesis, I'll gladly make it for you!

If you want some examples, Let's see... [ She looks up at the ceiling and ticks off on her fingers as she recalls. ] I've made fire swords, elemental armor-piercing bullets for guns, staves that glow all sorts of colors, bombs with different effects, earrings that help channel magic...

So, um, things like that! And if you have something in mind, I'd love to talk about it and figure it out together! You can send me a message, or just come find me on the Starduck!

I have some things I'm looking to send to good homes. There's a lot of men's clothing, some sewing materials, shaving supplies, and a few odds and ends. It's probably time they go to someone who can make use of them. [For anyone whose known her long enough this description might make it clear enough these are Winn's things.] It's been over two years. [She knows exactly how many days over—twenty.] That's probably long enough to hold on to them. [And maybe it will make room for new things.] I'll probably donate them at the next planet if no one is interested, but feel free to stop by the Twin Roses if you want to take a look.

Or stop by the Malum during my shift tonight and we'll pour one out to the people we're still missing. I mean, I'll charge you for the pour, so feel free to use your mouth for it. [She gives the screen a little smile.]

Who: Ciel Phantomhive and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Goldstone
When: Afternoon of June 1

[The blue-haired teen is in the kitchen of the Goldstone, a cup of tea steaming in front of him. His communicator is propped up so her can just relax and enjoy his tea. And a small plate of oddly shaped cookies.]

What do you all do when you arrive in a new world in the middle of a year? And yet you left at the end, just shy of your birthday?

[He nibbles at a cookie, sets it down, and takes a sip of tea.]

I arrived in Riverview in July but I left England just two weeks before my fourteenth birthday. So it was sensible to say I was fourteen. I was there a year, so... fifteen. It's been about six months here, would I almost be sixteen now?

[There's a soft sigh, toying with a cookie.] Interesting as all this is, it's a bother to think about it all. I'd be marrying in a year, if I were in England...

[He doesn't seem too concerned about that though and takes a deep breath, smiles, and gestures to the cookies.] There are biscuits here in the kitchen, if anyone on the Goldstone would like. I made too many.

Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Iskaulit or Bloodsport, if you like
When: Now

[voice]

I have a question to ask all of you, if I may--something that I have been thinking about.

[This thinking has nothing to do with the recent broadcast from the Interceptor Fleet. Nope. Not at all.]

What or where, to you, is home?

Is it a place? Is it people? Is it in the universe that you came from, or have you found a new home in your time away? If home is not here, would you return to it if you were granted the opportunity to do so?

What does home even mean?

I ask partially because I'm not certain of the answer for myself. I have thought of many different things as home: a country, a ship, a crew. There have been times, even, when I considered a single person home... but however I defined it, I was certain of it. I knew where it was, and I knew that it was where I belonged. That becomes difficult to maintain, you know, after several years in a place like this--the certainty of belonging, and the sense of home.

So I would like to know how you think of it. Maybe this question is too personal, but I hope that someone might humor me.

[action]

[In the mood for some in-person interaction? Pavel can be found in his usual haunts on the Iskaulit: in the library, jogging in the ship's more open areas, working (or drinking) at the Space Bar. Or come across him on the Bloodsport. That's where his quarters and his cat are, after all!]

[ A notification goes out over the private network - the one that's sealed away from Atroma's prying eyes. One (1) unread text message, from a familiar frequency - the Interceptor Fleet. ]

Drift Fleet -

We have a plan. Thanks to our wonderful little vacation on the Marsiva and the resulting afterparty, we've got a solid foundation to work with.

The Marsiva is still hurting. We can take advantage of that. Whether you all want revenge, answers, or both, we can get them. Together. Hell, even if you just want to go home - I'm pretty sure we can make it happen if this works.

Rendezvous in the next system for details. No more secrets between us. We'll find a location when we arrive and send coordinates.

Let's give this ridiculous reality show a reunion tour finale and then be DONE with it.

When: 05/29

[ Now that she's gotten comfortable on the SS Caprine and gotten back into the swing of Communications, Luna figures now is as good of a time as ever to spend some quality time with dear, sweet Noctis. Which is exactly why she's made her way onto the Blameless, to come and get him to take him out for a 'fun' day of Waystation jumping and just generally spending time together and catching up on things in a more private way than the communication devices could allow them.

The Blameless was the very first ship she'd been on, and it takes no time at all to navigate her way through the ship and to where she knows poor Noctis is going to be —— his quarters. She knocks lightly on the frame, before poking her head in. ]

Good afternoon, dear Noctis. May I come in?

[ Because she's promised to try and heal him before anything else, after all. She doesn't know if it will work... it hadn't with Ignis. But she wants to try, to put the effort in to help him to the best of her abilities. ]

Action: Vanquish, First Breath
When: Month of May

Network - Text

Back to the same old grind. What's the most interesting thing that's happened to you in the past ... let's say year? What's noteworthy?

Open - Vanquish Hangar Bay

[Furiosa is practicing knife work, one-handed, with the blades Natasha had loaned her. She's good with improvised weapons, but her familiarity lies more with firearms than melee, so she's spending some extra effort during drift getting familiar with the motion. She's got a board set up against some crates with a crude target on it, tossing the daggers one at a time, and then retrieving them to try again.]

Closed - Tyrion

[Eventually, in part restlessness, and in part gearing for any eventual battle (infrequent as they might be, she prefers to be prepared). She shuttles over to the hangar bay of the First Breath, feeling a pang of nostalgia as she navigate the familiar ship, and makes her way to Tyrion's engineering station.]

Hey. Got time for another project?

What's your favorite kind of music? I ask because I'm still catching up on what I missed back home, but I like discovering new things.

Action

[ During the first week or so of drift, thanks to mostly palling around on his own in the last system, ~~Steve~~ Grant seems slightly more at ease in his own skin now. He's still not the most talkative guy around, but he's working on that. A little. Mostly he can be found on board his own ship or at work, but sometimes he'll go to the gym at odd hours or settle down in the art room with some paints or a pencil and blank sheets of paper.

Less often, but when he's most restless and can't sleep, he'll just walk around and make maps in his head of where his fellow passengers are allowed. And where they aren't. ]

Who: Rose and You!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: A little, on the Marsiva.
When: After the fleet re-enters drift.

[Video]

[The Fleet goes back into Drift, and Rose looks about as happy as can be expected. She's never made it a secret that she hates being confined to cramped quarters. She's also never made it a secret how little she tolerates some of the others in the Fleet.]

[Whatever her mood is, it's in full force today. Must be the boredom.]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was almost starting to enjoy myself here. Despite the dangers, the last planet we visited seemed comfortable. Certainly moreso than these ships, at least.

[She sighs. If only the ships were the worst of it.]

Has anyone even looked outside? These "waystations" we're driving past are horrid! At least the Atroma are decent enough to put on a show of being professional. No one should ever need to use this many colors, or signs that large. And that's not even to mention some of these gimmicks.

[As if on queue, a new attraction drifts into view from Rose's window. In large, neon letters, the words "GALAXY'S LONGEST TOILET" are illuminated on a billboard designed to look like an outhouse. Rose is stopping the video feed here. It speaks for itself.]

[Action - Marsiva]

[For anyone wanting to talk to Rose in person after her outburst (or even just say hi!) she'll be spending most of the drift period mulling about the Marsiva. Most of her time is spent tending to what plants she can find, but she's known to wander into the training areas and bar on occasion, too.]

Date Auction Mingle

Posted by: child_of_luv

Who: Everyone who wants in!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: MINGLE TIME, Iskaulit Lecture Hall
When: The day before drift starts

=====

[With help from other Fleeters, Minako had coordinated the lecture hall being decorated into an auditorium for their auction. It was done up somewhat cheesy, like a 90's high school prom, with hearts and cute things... streamers, balloons... anything she could find on the planet below to make it work.

She also managed to order a buffet of hors d'oeuvres and finger foods (nothing super fancy) for people to snack on, and there were drinks. There wasn't specifically punch, but there wasn't anything alcoholic being supplied, so that would have to be brought in by others. She's a minor!

Before the auction itself starts, but once everyone's there, Minako steps up on the stage to address everyone.]

I want to thank everyone for participating tonight. It's a great showing of people and I know we'll be able to use the supplies we'll be getting during the next drift. I hope everyone has a good time tonight, and I definitely hope you all have wonderful dates.

Now... let the auction begin!

[She'd step to the side, and then introduce each person as they came out for their bidding.

Afterwards, she thanked everyone again, wished them all luck on their dates, and told them to enjoy the rest of the night!]

{OOC: Each of the characters being sold has a top level for the bidding portion. The winners that were rolled are in the subjects. Feel free to make your own top levels like a typical mingle if you want to do more than just the bidding. Also, you can go hog-wild bidding in each of the individual top levels, but the winners have already been picked for some of them. Those who didn't get an RNG pairing (sorry, we had less buyers than people sold) are open to having fun with bidding and you can determine who wins. Just because you're not the winner of a person doesn't mean you can't play out a bidding war if you want to! Have fun!}

Who: Lunafreya Nox Fleuret and YOOOU.
Broadcast: Yes; Fleet wide.
Action: No.
When: 5/16.

[ This is not a place Luna expected to be back in, and yet fate has once again intervened and she finds herself in familiar territory. Granted, she's stuck on the Marsiva and she knows that she's going to be here for the next few days, but that isn't going to stop her from letting her presence be known. She doesn't know who is here now; if her friends and extended family from her previous stay still remain or not, but there is only one way to find out.

The view starts out a bit shaky as she adjusts her communicator, apparently trying to prop it up, until the video feed focuses in on Lunafreya as she moves to stand in focus. She offers a small, polite bow of greeting that may be familiar to those who remember her from before, and when she straightens, a small smile pulls at her lips. ]

Good day to everyone. My name is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, and I have been here before. Granted, I know not how many moons have passed since the last I was here, but I was wondering just whom here from my own world remains, and if there was anyone still here with whom I was fortunate enough to forge a friendship with before. Regardless, I am pleased to meet everyone once more, and I pray that we are all able to work together in harmony and get to know one another again. Thank you so much for your time.

[ Luna bows once more, and the feed cuts. All that's left now is to wander the Marsiva and hope that someone out there will respond. ]

Who: Minako and YOU
Broadcast: YES
Action: Sure. She's on the Red Fish, but I'm open to meeting up on the planet or Iskaulit!
When: Backdated a couple of days.

Hi, everyone! Minako here, again.

So, after hearing back from a good number of you who were interested, the final verdict is that we're going to use the money raised from the date auction for purchasing supplies before we leave the system.

Personally, I think that's a great idea.

SO... that said, I've gotten quite a lot of sign ups! I'm really excited. Remember, though, we need buyers for this to really work, so don't forget to stop by this weekend. I'm going to set it up in the lecture hall on the Iskaulit.

I can also use help with decorating and other tasks surrounding the auction, so, even if you don't want to participate in the matchmaking part, you're perfectly welcome to help in other ways! Just let me know!

Bye for now!
