Action: the Heron
When: July 23rd

text.

If anyone - for whatever reason - wants some novelty fridge magnets, there is a sponsor crate of them on the Heron. You can take as many as you want, though there isn't that much variety.

I will note at the outset that no, there are no alphabet pieces.

[Along with this rather brief message is attached a photo of the crate's contents. Half the magnets seem to be little cartoon planets. The other half are... well... magnets.]

action.

[Anyone inclined to visit the Heron to take up this exciting offer - or just to visit - will find Erik leaning against the crate in the cargo hold. He has a number of the magnets suspended in the air above one hand, and every few minutes he flicks his fingers, sending one flying into the hull wall.

The crate itself is emblazoned with the message "To the most ATTRACTIVE guy on the Fleet! - Magnecessities". Maybe that's part of why he looks faintly irritated.

Flick goes another magnet.]

[Sam's very much content with what he got from the giving tree. But of course, in the calmness of the world around them, he can't help but wonder more on everyone else — his memory box sits on his bed, some of the contents sitting outside of the box, some of which are pictures of his family, of odd things like a fake amulet, and a retirement home brochure. There's more in there just waiting to be dug through for the sake of nostalgia, but first...]

ATTACHMENT: THE_GIVING_TREE

You know, being a Silverstein fan, one of my favorite books growing up was The Giving Tree.

I don't really know why. I mean, it's a depressing story, you know? Hell, it messed with me as a kid, I mean real little, and I remember asking why that tree kept giving up parts of itself for such a jerk. I get it when he's a kid, sure. Kids are kids. But the rest... I always remembered how good the tree was — and how I swore I would never be such an ass if I ever met that tree. Crossed my heart.

I guess I sort of did meet a giving tree on this planet, and the tree gave me some... really, really great stuff.

[He holds up some pictures, the one on top a clear picture of him as a baby with his family. He's so very pleased to have these here.

Maybe he'll offer some to Dean; he's not sure if his brother is interested in photos anymore, but... screw it, he'll offer anyway.]

So — thanks for that, tree. I'm content.

What'd you guys get?

Who: Dallas Winston
Broadcast: Video
Action: On the Marsiva
When: Now!

[ When the feed flickers to life, the network is greeted by the face of a young man who can't be older than seventeen or eighteen--albeit a very old seventeen or eighteen. He's a bit disheveled, dressed in a beaten denim jacket that could possibly be sporting quite a bit of dried blood on it if you look closely enough.

It's definitely something else to take in, but still, he surveys the camera with a cool smirk and a look of calm disinterest. ]

What's a guy gotta do to get a pack of cigarettes around here?

[ The important things. He chuckles, ducking his head to gaze out a window. He doesn't allow himself to be fazed by what he sees, no matter how the terrifying unfamiliarity of it all may twist his gut into knots. You never let them break you, whoever "them" may be here. ]

Glory, and here I thought Hell was gonna look a whole lot different than this. Alright, kids-- [ His gaze snaps back to the camera, still as cool and calm as ever. ] This place looks out of it. I ain't supposed to be here, but I may as well ask: What's there to do for kicks around here? I ain't savvy on staring at trees til I get sick, you dig?

Who: Simon Tam and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bloodsport
When: July 21st

[Simon had been about to make one of his rare appearances on the network, when his face scrunched up in confusion... and suddenly he seemed to trip and fall, lucky face-first into a convenient sponsor-provided crate of Flootemon stuffed toys and other assorted merchandise.

And let out a snore. Oops.

Once someone extracted Simon from the mess, he made another broadcast.]

... I have absolutely zero use for any of these stuffed toys, so they are free for the taking if anybody else is enjoying that monster-catching game. [He then squints at some of the name tags attached to them, holding up a black and gray-furred dog that's totally not a Mightyena.] ... Bigby? Really? ... Pikablu? And why is this frog called Sableye?

Who: Arya Stark
Broadcast: Shipwide
Action: Planetside, outside the inn she's staying in.

[ the camera comes on and for a moment it's on arya's face before it turns to show the sky, filled with stars. ]

Did you know that stars are made of very hot gas? [ because she didn't. not until the moment she woke up on the ship. arya isn't a little girl anymore, life has changed her, morphed her into something she never was. yet she's not as bitter or jaded, she hasn't had a chance to change that much. but still, the world is a darker place to arya stark. she'd been angry when she first got here, she's still angry but she's done her exploring.

the little girl in her shines through as she turns the camera back to her face and she grins-- ]

Like farts.

yo space-folks :)

Now that we now that 1000 writers, film producers and game creators were wrong and that aliens don't want to exterminate earth or experiment on our bodies or have us have weird alien babies ( has no one seen the Alien? ) -- but they do like space reality shows the questions that must be asked are those:

1. do you think people who are sent home are just too boring to the audience?

2. ergo, should we all try being as stale as day old bread and hope for the best?

3. do you think the alien audience has a favorite and if so, who is it? I have my guesses, not sharing unless you tell me yours.

4. ok but is anyone's hair a mess because of all of this humidity?

5. are you all aware we are on a jurassic park planet and could be eaten by raptors at any given time? ( HINT: lock your doors )

Who: Caitlin Snow + YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Hospitality Deck
When: Now!

VIDEO

[ The video starts suddenly, with Caitlin sitting straight up, eyes open and wide with fear.

More than what's warranted with waking up in a strange place.

Her head bows, her eyes going directly to her wrists. It seems she's checking both of them, rubbing absently at them, as if she expected to find something. (Shackles or handcuffs, that's what she's looking for.) If she's reassured there's nothing there, she certainly doesn't look it. When she looks back up, her gaze sweeping around the room, she's trying to place where she is, what's happened. This isn't Barry's lab at CCPD, it isn't STAR Labs, and it definitely isn't Zoom's lair.

It's a few minutes before she looks right into the camera, her head tilting with curiosity. ] Hello?

[ Then the feed cuts out. ]

TEXT

[ The text follows about ten minutes later. ]

This is going to sound odd, but: whoever or whatever brought me here, thank you. I need to get back to Central City, though.
