Who: Yosuke Hanamura
Broadcast: Fleetwide - audio
Action: SS Starstruck! If you feel like it~
When: 7/6 (aka after the shuffle)

[ No video this time - just audio. At least, for now. ]

Hey. I get that people around here leave sometimes, but... I just want to make absolutely sure before... I-I don't know. I just want to make sure.

[ There's a slightly long pause here. ]

... Has anyone seen Chie Satonaka lately? She was on the SS Paisley.

[ He'll leave communications completely open. While he's waiting for an answer, he'll just sit here and beat himself up and maybe revisit a particular conversation he had earlier with a particular drunk dude about particularly very related things. ]

Who: Cole
Broadcast: No
Action: EVERY SHIP EXCEPT THE MARSIVA
When: The first half of the month

[See, the problem is, now Cole's augment is a pilot one.

He's lost the room he wasn't aware as his, but he's gained a whole new lot of knowledge. Such as how to move the ship, how to dock it to other ships and that makes his constant wandering from ship to ship much easier.

And it means he can park the Pathstone with the Three Twins and Tourist without ever going on board either of them. He can bring the Pathstone to them, and still give Fenris his safe space and people form those ships and visit the Pathstone without having to take a shuttle!

So, Cole's doing his rounds again. Visiting. Parking. Shoving the Pathstone wherever he feels like going.]

Who: SS Starstruck & Anyone visiting!
Broadcast: y/n/m - up to the mingle peeps
Action: SS Starstruck
When: Uh, any time this month?

[ It's a mingle post for the SS Starstruck! We've lost a few and we've gained a few ~~+1 gay mage, yeah!~~, so now's a time to get to know each other, deal with the results of the Iskaulit, or just general crew and visitor shenanigans! ]

thespaceopera

[it may be too optimistic to hope that it has something to do with respect, but Atroma has been very quiet. in the wake of the growing stillness on the Iskaulit, neither of the fleet's hosts have broken the peace with their chipper voices.

if the passengers are being watched as closely as they always claim, it is being done in silence.

whether or not the remainder of the living bugs are being kept somewhere for observation, and regardless of the fact that the discussion of what to ultimately do with the ship is still ongoing, it has been generally agreed that something respectful should be done with the dead, and that the remaining spores should be washed away.

so, this will all be done through a combined effort of vacuum and fire, and the time for this purge has been set.

feet on the ground are needed to prepare the foreign ship for purging--securing anything that could be damaged, and safely packing away delicate data-storing instruments and anything belonging to the fleet itself. anyone willing to help could surely find something to do.

and for anyone wishing to bless, reflect, honor, or pray... now is the time to do so. whether aboard the Iskaulit itself before the purge, offering a voice over the network, or simply watching from nearby shuttles and ships, this is the fleet's moment to help send off the crew of the Iskaulit with dignity.]

ooc: this is the final IC mod post for June! the purge itself will be implied for the most part, but anyone with skills in mechanics or fire-controlling may assume they were involved.

this post specifically is for any interactive threads involved in the final days before the Iskaulit is cleaned, and anything funerary, including broadcasts. even if you just want to put up a closed comment describing what private way your character is taking part in this makeshift 'ceremony,' go for it.

an OOC post summarizing and officially wrapping up the rest of June will go up as soon as we're able.

Who: Tadashi & you!
Broadcast: TEXT - Fleetwide.
Action: SS Bishop
When: 5/31

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm curious: how many of you received augments that aligned with what your interests were at home? My brother and I are both really into robotic engineering, but he's an engineer and I ended up with lab support. Considering that the last big project I finished was a nursebot, I can't help but feel like Atroma's playing a joke on me. :P

Other than that... any guesses what our next stop is gonna be like? I'll buy lunch for whoever guesses it right.

Oh, it's Tadashi Hamada, by the way, on the SS Bishop. Guess I haven't really made an actual broadcast since getting here.

[ aaand he will just be chilling in the med bay, as usual, if anyone on his ship needs to find him. ]

Who: Jennifer Keller and possibly you??
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the good ship Wonderduck
When: The last week of May

[The network interference seems particularly bad now, and Jennifer has tried to get this message through several times.]

Sorry if any of this comes late or out of order.

I have no desire to visit the planet myself.

I got a sponsor drop of some beer at the beginning of the month. It's not great, but I'm willing to share if someone wants the exotic flavors or the company.

I'm on the Wonderduck if my crew wants some, or if anyone else wants to stop by and chat.

New Fleet members, welcome- I'm Dr. Jennifer Keller, medical officer on the Wonderduck.

Who: The crew of the SS ~~TRAINWRECK~~ STARSTRUCK AND YOU
Broadcast: Nope, it's a mingle!
Action: Starstruck
When: Late May, after this weekend's shuffle.

[HELLO, STARSTRUCK. It's been a while and our time on this planet is drawing to a close. Did you win enough things? Or go visit the planet? Well, it looks like we lost some crewmates to gain some so maybe we should get them all settled.]

WHO Misha Hunt
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!
ACTION Marsiva hospitality deck
WHEN May 20th because I'm a loser

[ The comm is set down on a table, facing down to give a wide angle of a young redheaded woman who is basically standing inside of a couch. Phasing! She looks to the camera, brows raised very pointedly!! And then walks forward to one of the walls leading further into the Marsiva and pushes.

Nada.

She looks back to the camera. Walks back to the couch, does a slow turn around while standing inside of it, then goes back and pushes on the wall again. After a moment, she steps back, uses both hands to point at the stubborn wall. ]

Is anyone else seeing this shit?

Who: Sokka and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish
When: Right now

[After is conversation with Zee, Sokka has been determined to find out what weird shennanigans have been going on in their ships. He picks a day where the ship is largely quiet and empty, and goes about opening a couple wall panels out. He doesn't like what he finds.

When he turns on the communicatior, he's frowning.]

Okay, I followed up on something Zee found on the Marsiva, where there was weird stuff in the walls, and uh-

[He turns the screen to the opened up wall panel. Pipes go where they logically shouldn't, there are moving parts that connect in no logical way to power sources. They've always been there, he just hasn't noticed them, until Zee brought it to his attention.

I don't understand a good chunk of this. I've been here for eight months. I know every inch of this ship, but I've never seen these until now. I mean- I think I've seen them, but I don't think I noticed them? And I don't understand how they work.

Does anyone? I kinda want to dissect some of it, but I don't know if it'll kill us horribly or not. Thoughts? Anyone?

[[OOC: This is mod approved, and indeed, all ships are like this, characters just don't notice them until they have their attention brought to them. Fun times.

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]

killedwithlove

Who: Cole and EVERYONE
Broadcast: No
Action: EVERY ship in the Fleet, bar Marsiva, Three Twins and Tourist (Though you can easily find him on another ship if you're from one of those)
When: First week of the month?

[This is a thing Cole does.

He travels the Fleet a lot, from ship to ship, meeting people, talking to people, hanging out. He sees people he knows and meets new ones, or ones he just didn't encounter before

He wants to help everyone. Which means meeting them first. Or finding them. Doing that might involve poking through the ships, even if he really shouldn't. Or going through personal belongings. Sorry about that. He's curious.

And armed. It is worth mentioning he's got a pair of wickedly sharp fighting knives on his back. Sorry about that as well.]

feathery

Who: Davesprite and Jade Harley and all y'all.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Chilling on the hospitality deck of the Marsiva (with one or both of them, at your preference).
When: Right here, right now.

Sup. [A generic greeting, from a voice a little monotonous and a little bored and probably owned by a teenage boy. That kind of affected carelessness has its tells.]

Has anyone seen a sword. It's sharp, and it's awesome, and it's a fuckin' sword. Which also kind of doesn't belong to me, so returning it asap would be cool, thanks. [There's a beat.] Oh, and if y'all could direct your attention out the nearest window, that would be ace.

[For anyone who actually does as asked, they will be treated to a variety of washed out orange watermarks of a teenage boy's face, somehow plastered against the abyss of space. The kid is wearing sunglasses and might have feathers? Weird. One of the watermarks is definitely giving the ships a thumbs up.]

Feel free to leave feedback on the quality of your experience here.

[And then, when Davesprite is finished talking, another voice pipes in. It belongs to a teenage girl, tone pleasant but distinctly baffled.] Also, hi! My name's Jade, and I am actually really surprised to be here, but I guess I shouldn't assume there's a limit on how many weird worlds one person can get dragged to, huh? I thought it'd be silly to broadcast my own message when Davesprite's standing right here and doing one, too, soooo...if anyone has heard of Asgard, that's where we just came from, and if not, then I guess we really look forward to getting to know all of you!

[For anyone on the hospitality deck of the Marsiva, they'll find one or both of the kids just hanging out. One tall, normal-looking blond kid, save for the sunglasses indoors and black crow wings sticking out of his back, and one normal-looking, buck-toothed girl in glasses, only she has white dog ears on her head.]

lord_wizard

Who: Felix Harrowgate
Broadcast: Fleet-wide video!
Action: Starstruck, if you want.
When: Today-ish?

[Today Felix prepares to do something that has the ring of familiarity to it for him, and anyone else who had once known him in Paradisa. The setting is different, of course, but old habit die incredibly hard, and he craves a little bit of what once was. Something that can distract him. He sets up the device on the kitchen table and reclines back against the wall.]

Greetings, fleet members. [He smiles, a bright thing reminiscent of politicians and celebrities]

I happen to know there is a good number among us here that practice magic or exhibit a talent reminiscent as such, and that many more of us still are deprived the company of our peers back home.

Before I came here, I organized a group of magic-users and thought the fleet could benefit from something similar. We had wider goals at the time, but I think here it will be far more about simply getting to know one another. [Though, if he isn't kidding himself, most of what they did was get together and drink] Perhaps there are things we can learn from each other, or perhaps it can simply serve as a source of solidarity.

If no one would be opposed, I'd like to organize more regular meetings, hosted in the Bishop's library to start, assuming our librarian wouldn't be opposed. Though, in the long run, I'd prefer to convert a space specifically for our use. The Starstruck's cargo hold, if nothing else. We aren't using it for anything else. [He briefly longs for the castle, and imagines a comfortable space full of chairs, rugs, and bookshelves.]

In the meantime, I'd like to know who might be interested in such a thing and to meet any of you with such talents that I haven't yet had the pleasure to speak to. [Which is probably half the fleet by now, but he's a patient man, when he wants to be]

((ooc: this is an organizing post for future possible mage mingle club that will probably happen later in the month.))

sizzle

Who: Zuko
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Bishop
When: Now

[ When the video starts up the face on the screen sure doesn't look happy, but then again it so rarely does. ]

I've been here long enough to have gotten my bearings, so I won't waste time with that. Right now there's only one thing I want to know, and I refuse to believe no one can answer that for me.

[ His jaw sets. And he does his best to make sure it looks like he's standing up straight and means business here. Even over video he wants to come across as having a certain air of "no nonsense allowed". ]

I'll keep it short. Tell me who or what is Atroma, and where can I find them.

selfism

Who: Kai Hiwatari
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: April 29

It’s funny, [ begins a cool, dry voice that indicates it is anything but, ] I seem to know a substantial amount more on piloting a spacecraft than I did before falling asleep.

[ A young man is seated with his back pressed against the viewing glass of Marsiva’s observational deck. Behind him, the yawning chasm of space stretches on for an eternity, all winking stars and silent cosmos. He hardly appears to be interested in the spectacular scene, instead opting to focus his attention on an object in his lap. The communicator broadcasting the video is set on the floor, propped up at an angle by something out of sight. Kai acknowledges his audience with a cursory flicker of his eyes, expression unfathomable, then continues to pick apart a circle of wood. ]

I arrived without most of my belongings. I’d like to know what’s happened to them, and how I can get them back. They’re…necessary.

[ Important, he doesn’t say, though his jaw tightens minutely. Fingers peel off a strip of wood a little too viciously, belying an otherwise impressive composure. The loss of Dranzer (again, always again, she is always beyond his reach) has shaken him deeply, and it had taken him an hour to settle down enough to contact the network. ]

I’m also interested in hearing about our purpose here. The first time I was taken from my world, it was to feed hungry spirits. The second time, to play as a pawn in the political games of the fae. What now? If it involves aliens, I’m done.

[ He's only partially joking. ]
