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?

Who: Furiosa
Broadcast: Video
Action: Vanquish, Iskaulit
When: All this week

Video Broadcast

[It had seemed to Furiosa like no time had passed at all; she'd been on the Starstruck, and then she'd been at home very briefly, and then ... she was back on the Marsiva. From there, she'd been shuffled onto the Vanquish, and had decided to quietly explore and reacquaint herself with the fleet before making a public introduction.]

[Now it is that time. The video is her quarters on her new ship. She's in her welcome outfit, having lost the wardrobe she'd built up for herself in her previous time here. As well, she'd need a new prosthetic; her left arm ends just shy of the elbow.]


It seems to me like a lot more time has passed for me than what it feels like. Anyone want to give me an update?

Action

[She hadn't been too familiar with the Vanquish before, so she takes her time to wander the ship and meet her new shipmates; see if there are any familiar faces.

She does make some time to go visit the gardens on the Iskaulit, walking about to see what changes have been made since the last time she was here - which didn't feel all that long ago. It was a surreal and odd feeling.

Feel free to interrupt her during this introspective walkabout.]


Closed for Tyrion

[Furiosa was in Kenn-Tellnic finishing up a job, and decided to do a bit of exploring afterwards before picking up another. The city was certainly something to behold; nothing like anything she'd seen in her previous time with the Fleet, and certainly nothing that had existed in her own run-down ruined world.

Passing by a small bar, she catches the sight of some of the patrons through a window and sees a familiar face. Unsurprised to find him here, Furiosa wanders in and pulls up a seat next to Tyrion.]


So, what's good around here?

Who: Furiosa and you!
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Starstruck, Iskaulit Gardens
When: Now until the end of the month of September


Three years is more than enough time to establish a routine, and by now Furiosa's pretty settled in hers. She didn't need much sleep, start her day with some coffee and looking through the network, catching up on who's new and who's left and who has possibly gone batshit insane (either on their own or with Atroma's assistance).

Hangar

She works on the shuttles, making sure they're well-maintained. It's much easier to do here since the fleet isn't constantly engaged in raids, battles with bandits and buzzards, or hauling ass along the Fury Road.

Catch her while she's grabbing a wrench or wiping grease off her hand, or when she's elbow deep in the bowels of the shuttle.


Iskaulit Gardens

She's tending the peach tree. It's flourishing, and she smiles as she picks a peach and bites into it. Part of her time here is watering plants, pruning, assessing the irrigation system.

The rest of her time there is just quiet introspection, sitting in the greenery and looking out the available windows at space beyond. Maybe join her in the silence, or break it, or critique her gardening skills (but she's been hard at work learning the best ways to tend plants since about Day 1).

Starstruck

She's sitting back in the pilot's seat, feet propped up on the console. She's got Max's note with her, thinking back on her time here, and thinking back on the life she left behind at the Citadel. There are some parts of it that have dimmed with time, and other parts that seem like she'd just experienced them.

[[Furiosa's last post]]

[An unexpected video feed opens on Furiosa enjoying a quiet meal. Once she's aware of the malfunctioning device streaming her meat and potatoes, she turns it off. The black screen lasts a couple moments, before flipping on again. Furiosa huffs as she turns it off again. It almost immediately flips back on.

She looks at it for a long moment, and then lets out a defeated sigh and finishes her mouthful.]


Fine. Fine. [She turns the view slightly and there's a big metal box on the table . Sponsor Drop!] I guess this is what you want to see.

[She's talking more to the device itself and Atroma, but looks like you're part of the audience now. She pops the top and pulls out a note.]

Furiosa,

Congratulations on your third anniversary! I hope you enjoy the contents, I made them all by myself from natural ...
uh, no I'm not saying that word outloud. Those letters don't go well together. Here's to many more years, you're my favorite!

Signed,

Daxa, age 105

p.s. sorry about your friend,
okay I don't need to read the rest of that.

[She sets the letter aside. She's not excited about sponsor drops (not since she got a giant useless box of makeup and hair gels a while back), but the note was a nice touch.

She's not expecting much, but as she looks into the box there's a shift to subtle surprise on her face. She pulls out a sweater; something noticeably hand-made with skill and love. It also has an extra sleeve, apparently someone was confused about human anatomy, and the yarn looks more scratchy than cozy, but she seems pleased by it. Rooting through the box, there's a few more flashes of color and fiber.][Furiosa pulls on one of the sweaters, which as much work went into it is ill-fitting and lumpy, and looks at the feed.]



Happy anniversary to me, I guess.

[The scene is set, as it is usually set, in Tyrion's engineering laboratory aboard the SS First Breath. There are his weapons, some complete, some in stages of being put together. There are his terrariums, that are going strong with their varying greenery. Some are vegetables, others are flowers, some are just odd looking alien plants that Tyrion wanted to see if he could grow.

What Tyrion appears to be working on now, is a Very Fancy Looking Airmask. He is screwing a stronger air-filter into place, as he speaks to the camera.]

I do not suppose ... I could interest some people ... into coming down below with me? I can promise you better equipment than what they are offering, and for much less the going price.

[Mis-match eyes lift up, and he smirks.]

Let's just say I'm interested to know what makes this fog so very special.

When: The rest of the month

Video
[The feed opens on Furiosa, and she's got something with her; a book, or two, or apparently a small handful.] Grabbed some reading material. If anyone wants to swap, let me know. Figured we could pool our resources.


Starstruck
[In her endeavor to crack into the meat of who is Furisoa really she's ventured into the wonderful wide world of hobbies. The extent of which is truncated due to the limitations of space, but she was able to procure a few books and has settled herself in the Starstruck's galley with a cup of coffee to dig in. What's she reading? Currently in her hands is Power Without Glory by Frank Hardy, but feel free to find a few other titles in the stack on the table.]

Iskaulit
[She is still, however, not one to spend all of her time sitting back. When she's had enough of book time, or just needs a moment to stretch her legs, she's back in the gardens on the Iskaulit, tending to plants and enjoying being around living, green things. In paricular, there's a peach tree there she's quite proud of; young, but flourishing.]

Who: Furiosa and You!
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Planet
When: The remainder of the month

Open - various

[Furiosa has taken the time to settle into her new ship and come to terms with the fact that she's no longer a Captain, and no longer on the First Breath. She's confident it was left in good hands, with Tyrion and Kaiden captain and first mate, respectively. It's a shift, but she'll adapt.

By the second half of the month, she's ready to go planetside and see what it's like. Normally, she wouldn't have bothered with a snow planet, but after a couple conversations she's been informed that it's not quite so bitingly cold as the ones she'd visited before.

She's glad she did; it's beautiful with the stained glass and tinkling bells. She's up for anything, and not adverse to company.

Jobs

She doesn't have the savings that she'd had before she was sent home, so she's got to take up a few quick indoors-jobs in order to afford proper cold-weather gear. Did you come into this restaurant looking for a meal, or were you drawn by the out of place rough looking waitress missing her left arm? She still manages to keep civil and competent; it's not her first choice, but she does the best she can.

Shopping

Someone needs to convince Furiosa to get a snow leopard kit. It won't take much; she appreciates their playful fierceness. Later in the month, though, once she's saved up enough for snow gear to tackle the higher-paying jobs.

Fishing - closed to Tyrion

Prompto had mentioned fishing, and Tyrion had agreed to come with her. She'd wanted to catch up with her former First Mate anyway, to apologize for her absence (or, to apologize for how Atroma had ripped her away and now tossed her on another ship entirely), and to see how the rest of the First Breath was faring.

She may not be its captain or pilot anymore, but she had a vested interest in their wellbeing.

And Tyrion's, as well.

She's collected gear and rented a snowmobile to get them out to the lake, and has sent Tyrion her location. How she just has to wait for him to arrive.

Who: Furiosa and you!
Broadcast: Video, open
Action: Marsiva, Caprine, Starstruck
When: Today

Video

[This is not the first time Furiosa has woken up on the Marsiva. In fact, during the last set of calibrations she'd spent enough time here to be sickeningly aware of where she was once she's dragged herself awake. She opens a video feed and props the device up, pulling her sheet supplied by the Atroma further around her shoulders to combat the chill.]

Hey. So, what happened? Anyone got any idea how I ended up here?

Action - Marsiva

[Once her post is up on the feed - her first priority checking in on her friends - she heads out of her room and into the hallway. She's not concerned with reacquainting herself with the Marsiva, rather finding out who else is here and moving to get the chill and stiffness out.]

Action - Caprine

[This is ... not her ship.

Technically, by Shuffle Standards, it absolutely was her ship, since this is where Atroma decided to put her this time around. However, after having spent so much time on the First Breath, having to call another ship home just felt weird.

But, she adapts. She fills out a ship transfer request, but until that goes through, she adapts.

And part of that means finding and making weapons and stashing them aboard the Caprine. Feel free to find her affixing plaster skulls here and tucking guns and blades in odd corners of the ship.]


Starstruck

[She's put in her transfer, so she's expecting that fun, awkward moment she gets zapped onto another ship. She's expecting it to look familiar. She's also expecting it to be the First Breath.

Best two out of three?

She does a circuit of the ship the moment she arrives, and yes; her credentials are here. Atroma has decided that her time as the First Breath's captain is officially at an end. She'll have to contact Tyrion, and soon.

She doesn't really need to familiarize herself with this ship, at least outside of Max's room, the hangar, and the kitchen. She will spend some time on the bridge, since it was her favorite place to hang out on the First Breath. She has to remind herself, as she sits in the pilot's chair, that she'll be sharing duties with Max.]

Who: Tyrion and Furisoa
Broadcast: video from the First Breath
Action: Aboard , other ships as requested
When: Today through to the Battle

[The feed opens on the First Breath, the recurring decorative motif of plaster skulls visible in the back. Both captains - Furiosa and Tyrion - are within view of the feed. Furiosa herself looks better than she had in the past, even if she's still obviously less than her best right now.]

It looks like we're facing down one hell of a fight.

[Tyrion leans forward - he has a bandage around his forehead but otherwise looks as sharp as ever. His mis-matched eyes gleam under his mop of golden curls.]

That we are, Furiosa. So, when we are facing one hell of a fight, what do we all need?

[Furiosa reaches down out of view of the feed, then brings up a sizeable duffle bag, open and spilling out its contents.]

Weapons. Defense. A little … added security.

[Tyrion opened his arms wide.]

And there is more. How, you ask?

[He glances over at Furiosa, his smile turning lopsided.]

Let’s just say the First Breath leadership is appropriately paranoid for our current living situation.


[She can’t help a small, slight smirk back at him. This was totally their element.]

If you or your ship is in need of weapons or ammunition, let us know. We’ll get you geared up.


[Tyrion nodded, before his gaze became more serious.]

This is not us ensuring the survival of others - it is us ensuring the survival of ourselves. Our friends, our families, our lovers and yes, even our enemies. So if we fight, we fight together. It is the only way we will see this through.

Who: Furisoa and the other Captains/First Mates of ships in orbit
Broadcast: Open
Action: Iskaulit - Málum
When: After the firefight and Zhade's transmission


[After a battle like that, in her condition, it's tempting to sleep, but she'd seen the battle; the First Breath was one of the lucky ones. Struggling to stay awake, she fires off a message to Max, then tries to check in with the other ships. When it's obvious they didn't all make it out unscathed, she opens a video feed. It's glitchy and suffering breaks and static, but hopefully the gist of her message gets out.]

Captain's meeting --- Iska--t. --need to figure out ---- missing and how we're goin--to get--em back. Bring your ---t mates or confidants or ---ever you think might help----.

[She'll be waiting at the bar, drinking a water, looking worse for wear but determined. Come, take a seat, grab something to drink, offer your opinion or just observe.
kill_switch: (pic#10138166)
[personal profile] kill_switch
[The feed opens on Furiosa. She's looking like any of the other Flooters who had found themselves caught in the meteor's wake; a little like death warmed over. Her face is paler than usual, except for the dark circles under her eyes. She hasn't taken care to shear her hair recently, and it's something of a greasy fuzz over her scalp. Her eyes have always had that wastelander haunt to them - though perhaps not as deeply as Max's - but there were few moments when she actually looked directly at the camera. She was wrapped up in blankets, cold, and tired, but unable to sleep.]

I'm not one for religions. They all seem pretty useless to me. In my world, you had the here and now and you could come up with any idea on what happened after and it was anyone's guess. No one knew. The -- [What would she even call life at the Citadel?] -- society -- I was a part of, however, believed in Valhalla. They followed a crazy tyrant who claimed he would lead them in the afterlife.

[She shifts to get more comfortable. Even though she was wordier than Max, it's not by much, and this is a lot to talk about all at once. It's a lot of details from her world (though, notable, not exactly her own life. That she still held close to the chest).] My world was poisoned. There were Half-Lifes who never made it through their second decade. They would either get sick, whither away, fall victim to lesions and tumors. Or ... through the Cult of the V8, Immortan Joe [No hiding the vitriol in that name], and Valhalla, they would 'Live, Die, Live again.'

The goal, then, was to die heroic on the Fury Road. For others to bear witness to your triumphant end and what would hopefully be their entrance into Valhalla. It's all lies told to boys so they'd happily follow a maniac to the very brink of hell. [She pauses, looks down at her hand. She had a point, what was her point? Why was she telling everyone this?]

[When she continues, her voice is softer,] This is not Valhalla. Whatever reason the Atroma saw fit to bring us back, it's not about glory, or immortality. It's selfish, flippant, belligerent.

[Not that she's not happy to be back; but she doesn't want it going to her head. This is just as much a warning to herself as it is to others.] It's always an end. Don't forget that.

When: Today throughout July


[Someone's back from her coma. It might be hard to tell, because she immediately disappears into her quarters (not hanging around on the bridge, as usual, or working on the battered shuttle).

One other indication that she's back; she quietly delivers her gift basket - unopened - to the galley. It's yours for the taking. Among the usual items, it also includes candied grubs, a scarf and goggles, and a little toy car. Either she didn't want these items, or more likely she didn't bother to open it in the first place.

If you want to check you'll have to ask her yourself, which might be easier said than done; after the calibrations themselves, and post-coma grogginess and fatigue, she's not going to make herself available as much as she usually does. You still might be able to catch her when she has to make a trip to the galley, as necessity dictates, or if there are any captain duties that require her attention on the bridge.]
