Who: Piper
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Starstruck, if they want to!
When: Early 6/14ish

[Well, it's not often she broadcasts anything. Aside from her initial arrival she's made careful notice not to (not that it really means anything, but she's boring enough she hopes Atroma wouldn't enjoy showing cleaning to everyone). She prefers keeping her personal business to herself and had always been fairly well reserved, so broadcasting to a larger portion of people wasn't her thing. Especially not when they were being video-taped 24/7.

Today's a little different, however, as she turns the feed on fidgeting with the Amethyst carved key still hanging around her neck.]

Yeah, alright. I don't really care about this whole exploring another ship business. So you all can have fun with that.

[Not to mention, she doesn't think that's a particularly good idea. Her exploring a ship. Since she has very little control over her magic right now so. That would be a dumb idea, but it's not something she broadcasts and she's too stubborn to admit that to a whole array of people openly-- especially, not those who don't know.]

So, if you're not too busy slaying aliens right now, here's a question for you: What do you think of your crewmates? Just coworkers? There some kind of theme on your ship?There was a place I was before that shuffled us into groups like this. They weren't bad, but they kept talking about everyone being a family and go upset if you weren't exactly going for it. They seem to be closer than the crews around her, but they had a good reason for it.

[What with dying with each other. Or memory sharing. Empathy bonds. She seriously hopes Atroma doesn't learn from that mess.]

Call it curiosity. And a lot of time on my hands.

[Also, other things. But. Again. Not saying that.]

Who: Cory Matthews and whomever!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: Backdated to the day of the Shuffle!

[Cory had arrived not long before the Shuffle, and so it's all just clicking in for him as he's beamed onto the Huntress. He thinks he has it figured out.

And so, one might pick up on a family resemblance as he shouts.]

SHAAAWWWWWN!!

Where are ya, buddy? Come one out. You finally did it. Prank of the century. I really thought I was in outer space for a minute. But I got you now!

[He lingers for a moment, looking out one of the windows into space.]

Whatever you did? It's really convincing. I'm impressed! I hope you didn't spend too much money on this...

serves

Who: Cullen
Broadcast: Fleetwide audio
Action: SS Huntress
When: This week

[Cullen doesn't like broadcasting, hence why he very rarely does it. He has no problem speaking to groups of people, rallying troop before battle, but there's something different about this sort of communication that he really does not enjoy. Even still it makes him uncomfortable.

But this is important.]

An odd request, but I was hoping that if anyone happened to possess spare... [how does he even ask] decorative items? A resident on the Huntress is hoping to set up a sort of tea room [why is he doing this] and so I'd figured I'd ask if anyone would want to donate to the cause.

[Elize has him around her little finger, that's why.]

It'd be greatly appreciated.

Who: Commander and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide Voice
Action: Casino
When: 5/24, evening

[You can hear the sounds of the casino around him.]

Two questions. One; what's your favorite fruit flavor? Two; what's your world like?

WHO Chris Halliwell
BROADCAST Accidental Fleet-wide video (thanks Atroma!!)
ACTION SS Huntress.
WHEN May 10th. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
WARNINGS don't play fetch with the soulball

[ The video is abrupt, the angle awkward. It cuts on to a comm laying on what appears to be a dining table in a fully upgraded kitchen. Chris is standing off-center, facing someone who is holding what appears to be a lightly-glowing orb in his hands.

This appears to be a very controversial thing, holding a glowy ball. ]

They gave you grandad?! It's a casino! Where the hell did they even get that?

Actually, where the hell do you even keep that now? Or... then. Back then? Whatever. How do you play slots to win your father's soul?

save_the_souls

Who: YOU! ME! EVERYBODY!
Broadcast: MAYBE!
Action: Casino Stations and regular waystations.
When: First half of May!

[Welcome to the Roads to Riches, lucky members of the fleet! Come here for a wonderful mingle for all your gambling and waystation needs! IN OTHER WORDS, GET IN HERE ITS TIME FOR A MINGLE]

[OOC INFORMATION POST]

hearsthesea

Who: SS Huntress and company
Broadcast: Nope
Action: SS Huntress
When: Post-Shuffle, through the month of May!

[The past few weeks have seen a few losses and a few gains, and now all told the Huntress is at full capacity! The ship itself has more or less recovered from the attack in April and the time since then has been relatively calm, but who knows what May might bring...

In the meantime, it's mingle time.]

dragonflight

Who: Wrathion; perhaps you
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Three Twins, if you want to find him steepling his fingers somewhere and grinning too much
When: N-n-now

[Wrathion can't say he's exactly settled in yet. He's been assigned a ship; he has a position; he's met some people. He's learned a little--some of it interesting (so many different kinds of people already), some of it repellent (some of these kinds ought to wear a little more clothing), some of it merely filed away for later examination. Then there was Belthazar. Not trusting, no, but desperate. The best kind of person to help.

Wrathion's sitting at some table on his ship, looking into the camera, his smile as cheerful and full of teeth as always. Of all the experiences he's had in his short time here, one does stand out as particularly interesting.

That warning.]

My friends.

[Because we're all friends, right? Right.]

A little bird told me something fascinating. He warned me right off the bat about the current population of this Fleet.

In fact--

[Wrathion leans forward, his smile only widening.]

-- he implied quite directly that the lot of you were bloodthirsty murderers. Tell me, is this so? Am I among a congregation of fierce warriors? Of people prepared to kill at a moment's notice--no matter the target?

I should very much like to know.

ino

Who: Ino and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Station, Three Twins
When: Today!

[ Hello Droot Floot! Have a tiny blonde sitting in her captain's chair to make this little announcement/PSA/proposition of sorts. When she speaks up, her tone is friendly, but formal, in its own way. ]

Hi everybody! Ino, captain of the SS Three Twins, if we haven't met already.

[ Not, you know, that Aaron loser who was pretending to be her awhile ago. Gosh. B( ]

--Just a few things ... !

First of all, it seems like everyone is making decent headway on repairs, but is there anyone who's in dire need of some parts that hasn't gotten them yet? Let me know, I'll see what I can do about getting something sent your way.

Secondly ... well, I know not all of you were here for it when it happened, but the reason we're stuck on this little station and not somewhere cooler is because we were attacked by some sort of enemy forces. Nobody was hurt too badly, but the ships themselves weren't so lucky. Unfortunately we're still pretty in the dark about who they were or what the point of the whole thing was, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything about it!

That being said, there are two important things we need to work on. The first being making sure everyone on every ship at least has a little bit of experience with every possible augment. Between your crews you guys should be able to teach each other the basics! And, of course, if you're missing some and don't know who to look to for information, let me know, or ask around. Or, if you happen to have one of the rarer augments, feel free to volunteer here! After all, knowing what to do in a situation of distress is crucial!

And the other thing being, we really need to work on, you know, our actual plans in case we get attacked again. Teamwork, strategy, that sort of thing. Once all the ships are up in the air again I think it'd be a good idea to run some practice formations and stuff like that, so we can easily communicate what needs to be done to get out of a situation like that safely if it happens again. Since, you know, there's a pretty good chance it might!

Any thoughts? Other captains? Other people? Of course, my crew doesn't really get a choice.

[ She grins. Sorry, Three Twins! ]

Who: Shirley
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Huntress
When: April 15 (backdated slightly by a few days!)

[It's been a while since Shirley made a public broadcast, but to anyone who sees her face it's easy to figure out that something happened - she's got a frown on her face and she keeps on glancing down at her hands, which she's wringing occasionally.]

Has anybody ever lost their--abilities? Magic, or fighting, or anything of the sort. I know I was able to use my eres just a little while ago, but I can't anymore. I don't know what happened, I...I just don't know.

twocomplex

Who: GAME-WIDE MINGLE aka everyone
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The Stations!
When: From 04/05 through the month of April.

[Well, that all sure happened. But at least you have the waystations! Whether you want to stock up on supplies, work, trade, or visit the very fancy Virtual Reality Dome, it's bound to be a nice break from the attacks of the 5th.

Make your own prompts, set up your own Virtual Realities, etc! For reference, the OOC post with info is over here!]

devilsinthedetails

Who: Cole Turner and you. yes, you. even you over there.
Broadcast: none!
Action: EVERYWHERE except the marsiva obviously
When: April 3rd

[No matter what ship you're on, there is a guy shimmering on it at any part of the ship you might be, not really caring where he shows up because that doesn't seem to matter to him. What seems to matter is that he's looking at a watch and disgusted by what he finds there.]

That's the worst time yet. I used to be better than this. Have I gotten lazy...or dare I say it, old? No, that can't be. I'm obviously just out of practice.

[And unless he's interrupted, he just looks like he's psyching himself up before he shimmers out to the next place, apparently trying to beat his time? idk, demons are weird and really vain.]

Who: Fenris and you!
Broadcast: Video: Fleetwide

[the Marsiva will soon be leaving the good kingdom of Mor behind, and the shuffle chimes in over every speaker to mark the start of the final week. Diamond's voice breaks in as the jingle recedes, and by the sound of the grin in her voice, you people continue to please her to death.

you have all been performing spectacularly.]

Good morning, my dear passengers! It's another beautiful sunrise over the countryside, today! I hope you're enjoying it. It's a good idea to appreciate these luxuries while you still have them, after all.

Yes, it's always so sad when vacations come to an end.

[she sighs in a wistful way, and there are the shuffle-sounds of paper near the microphone as she presumably straightens her notes.]

We've had quite a boisterous shuffle this week! Five of our number have left us, but double that number have arrived to take their places. The ships are filling up quickly, aren't they? There isn't a single ship out there now that has more than one empty space on it. It really is incredible...

[and she can barely contain the quietly manic tone of excitement at the end there. it's all just too much!]

It looks like there is only one new captain this week! Captain Chopper has left our ranks, but the fearless Captain Phale has taken his place at the helm. Congratulations!

And that's all for this week, dear passengers! Good luck... and remember-- the worlds are watching!

Who: Robin
Broadcast: Whole Network; Text
Action: N/A
When: Around 3/16

[this world? not really for him. but since Robin is not good at sitting still, and actively moping can only keep him occupied for so long... a text entry shows up on the network!]

Hey, I'm bored. I did some math. I charted out a rough conversion between Earth's calendar and my own world's calendar (which is much more sensible, honestly). So, tell me when your birthdays are, and I'll tell you what king-sign you fall under. ♥ I'm under Ha'it, the King of Life and Death--which supposedly means I have a knack for seeing the big picture, and my lucky color is gold. It's just for fun, of course. Who knows if it's actually accurate...

normallycharmed

Who: Piper and You!
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide
Action: Starstruck
When: Shortly after the shuffle

[BROADCAST »

Have you ever seen a lady wearing ungodly amounts of purple? No? Well, you are now and that outfit can only be said to be designed by emo teenagers-- but at least she got rid of the most offensive items a long time ago. Though she doesn't seem to really care about that, but she does look pretty well annoyed. And for good reason.]

Very funny.

[It's not said directly to the communicator because, if there's one thing you learn after a while in her life: When people suddenly kidnap you somewhere they're usually not far away to laugh at you as you panic. This went for what she remembered of her old life and just about everything that happened in the Black Woods. It's really difficult to panic under those circumstances. You just get angry instead.]

I swear if you touched those kids I will find you. Don't think I won't.

[Because she'd been looking for them what little time she was on the Marivsa because usually in situations like this... Well, she was trying not to think about it but being shuffled no more than 24 hours later does not do for one's ire. But that's all she says for the moment.]

[MINGLE FOR STARSTRUCK »

How's it going for you guys? There's the new lady around now, at least, but maybe that's not very helpful. Since she's kind of not all there-- but for different reasons than probably expected. You're not trying to take your augments out again, are you?

It seems you might have some to catch up on for now. Or maybe you just want to stop the new lady from looking through the food supplies. Because that's a thing, too.]

save_the_souls

Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Fleetwide, Voice & Text
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: March 13th

[He's sticking with voice today, making sure any video feed is getting a text message that is accompanied with it]

Hello all. I'm Allen Walker, the- [He clears his throat and corrects himself] - rather, one of the Lab Assistants on the S.S. Blue Fish. If you don't usually listen, you may want to- because I'm willing to pay you.

[Yes. That's right. Money.]

Several might have noticed that the medical bays are rather sparse in terms of supplies beyond basic first aid. Atroma says that we can send in requests for medicine, but I'm not sure I'm willing to trust them to have our best interests in mind.

[Weird thing that. But after a moment, he links up a request board database.].

Therefore, I've compiled a supply list of things that'd be useful to have in the medical bays. I know many of you have been doing odd jobs for money, and this is very much the same. You get us the supplies, and I'll pay you. Simple as that. If I get a surplus of any items, I'd be more than happy to share with other medical bays.

If anyone else has things they need that aren't already on the list, they are welcomed to submit their own requests. Though if it's anything not vital to the fleet's health, I do request that the reward be paid out of your own pocket. And if there's anything about a request that seems suspicious, I am allowed to deny it.

Oh, and there's a request list for cooking supplies too - if that's more your thing. [Thanks guys]

Finally, the medical bays are also use fresh blood for the sake of blood transfusions. For people not familiar with the concept, it's a way to prevent people from dying of blood loss.

I'm planning to hold a Blood Drive this Sunday. Any people who donate blood will be given fresh baked cookies and be paid in money or food. I'd also be happy for any volunteers to help with running the blood drive, so please contact me if you're interested! Any vampiric volunteers must be able to have restraint around blood and will not be allowed to sample any donations.

[Which yes, even that last part was said with complete straight-faced sincerity]

Thank you!

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Sure!
Action: The wonderful world of Mor, nearby way-stations, and ships!
When: The first week or so of arrival

[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

thespaceopera

[with everyone's augmentations having returned to proper functioning order, all interference has cleared from the network. Atroma's signal comes through loud and clear, with the usual jingle announcing this week's shuffle uninterrupted. and when it finishes, Diamond's voice rings out with overflowing excitement.]

Fifteen ships! ...Have you all looked out the windows, dear passengers? Have you noticed the way that the Fleet swells with life and activity? The SS Paisley drifts with us now, empty and waiting for someone to boldly take command.

...Will it be one of you? Or are we waiting on the next round of intrepid souls to fill her halls? The suspense is palpable! We're on the edge of our seats, here...

The first fifteen of the fleet are flying, and as a reward, they've all received a little boost. Just a little roomier, a little shinier, just for you.

[and she pauses for a deep, satisfied breath. give her just a moment.]

...As such, there are seven new souls joining our ranks this week, replacing the three that are leaving us. Please make them feel welcome!

The fleet is heading toward a special treat this month, since you've all been so wonderful. We will be stopping by one of the most famous historic getaway spots in this stretch of the system, so take advantage of it! There aren't many of these left in such pristine condition, so don't miss out.

And please behave yourselves. ...Though, I don't need to remind you of that, do I?

[she's grinning when she says it. it's there in her voice.]

Remember, the worlds are watching!
