Who: Lydia Martin
Broadcast: Fleetwide
~~Action:~~
When: After the masquerade

So some people have looked at trying to disable the augments, which hasn't ended well, but what about what they do? I know that they give us - or enhance - a skill for our jobs here, and that they can give you additional skills or 'powers'.

( If you bought them or- however it happened. She hasn't found out that much about that yet. It's a whole work in progress )

But what about the skills we have, and our ship jobs. I was put into medical, and I had some medical knowledge before coming here - though the augment gave me everything else. Has anyone been given a job that they had never worked in before? Or something that they would never do? Or are we being perfectly selected?

( Because, even with the augments, putting someone in a job they had zero knowledge of before could cause something to happen. Unless they don't want to 'influence their ratings' that way )

And, related, has anyone ever changed their job?

Who: Kitty and all the people of fleet!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Windrose if you want
When: At some point before the masquerade

We have a masquerade coming up, and I was bored so I thought I'd mettle in people's lives for my own amusement. First, the disclaimer, there is nothing wrong with going to a dance solo.

Now, for anyone else, who wants a date?

Sorry, not me. Taken. But there are probably some of you out there thinking a date would be fun, and sure, why not? So speak up. Let's make some love connections. Or, you know, awkward dancing connections. I'm a mutant, not a miracle worker.

(OOC: Please feel free to threadjack.)

Who: Sora (AU)
Broadcast: Video!
Action: Marsiva
When: Today!

[The background area of the video feed looks very much like the empty hospitality deck Marsiva. And not unusual for newcomers, the network doesn't seemed to be noticed right away. Instead the boy on the other side looks more startled at his new surroundings. Because you know, it's not every day you wake up in SPACE]

Hello?!

[Yep. A completely empty ship. This is definitely creepy. He takes a few steps away from the camera, looking around and calling out]

Simba...! [a pause] Oh c'mon, this is no time to be messing around!

[And of course, there's no response. When he speaks again, he sounds more uncertain] ...Simba? ...Anybody?

[Then when there is still no response and he starts to become very sure he's alone, he rubs his arms and keeps eyeing the place warily as he mutters:] Great. Now what do I do?

Who: Octavia Blake
Broadcast: Everyone
Action: Wonderduck
When: Afternoon of the 21st

[It's been a few days since she went unconscious for no good reason, but when she wakes up, Octavia has no real grasp on the concept of time thanks to a three month trip back home. Somehow.

The process goes from slow to alarmingly fast quicker than she could draw her sword. She shoots up in bed, not realizing she's in the med bay on her ship, eyes darting around like a cornered animal.]

Lincoln?! [Of course her comm is on the table beside the bed recording every moment.

Octavia all but leaps off the cot, blanket falling away to reveal a new tattoo on her arm going part way up her neck. It only takes a moment for the blood to rush to her head, forcing her to sit back down with more force than she cares for. She places a hand to her head as all of it-- the fleet and home-- come rushing back.]

Dammit! [She lashes out, she needs to, kicking at the table beside her, giving the broadcast a shaky view before it settles to show her sitting on the bed with her head in her hands. Now she knows it's on.]

Dammit. How long was I out?

[Excuse the owlish-eyed girl with the weird pasted-on smile. She has things to talk about!]

Attention...!

I will not use names, because I don't want to embarrass them, b-but...! I needed to tell a very particular pilot something very important! And that is this: if you do d-decide to propose to Miss L — to, ummmm... to your girlfriend, you should not give her a ring made out of spaceship parts. Because that's kind of strange to wear. I believe that sort of advice should be applied to everyone, though...!

Unless the person you love really, really, really enjoys spaceships.

I suppose we should all wear what makes us happy!

I do admit, I've always wanted jewelry... I-I mean, I know they're very expensive most of the time, but I've never gotten to wear any before. Maybe I should make some! Oh, but I don't think I would be very good at it... Is there a particular way to make nice jewelry, even for someone like me? Necklaces and rings and....

....

I don't think I can wear earrings. That seems like it would hurt.

Ah!! I apologize, I guess I've been thinking so much about different topics! Like — games, and stories, and stuff to wear, and so many new things that I've never gotten to enjoy myself before. I think I even have.... friends! Do I? Is there a level that I need to reach with people before I can be friends with them? P-perhaps there's a way to officiate friendships...

Maybe with rings, like marriage! Friendship rings!!
