thebarkside

Who: Jade Harley
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: n/a
When: 2/28

[ she's been pretty reclusive, but it's been hard to muster motivation for much. part of her has been hoping that maybe, if she's listless enough, she'll bore the powers that be into sending her back again. so far, no luck. ]

hey, so this probably sounds really weird
but make sure to bring a bunch of dirt back with you from the planets, ok??
i can grow veggies and flowers and stuff with them
but i need a lot of dirt to do it

who knows how long itll be before we see real land again, right?

[The First Battle]

[They come shooting out of the great dark. Guns blazing, no warning. The enemy ships are ragtag, mismatched, and cobbled together from spare parts. But that doesn’t make them weak. No-- years and years of scavenging have turned them into raiders, and they carry their scars with pride.

The battle is more aggressive than previous attacks against the Fleet. Nothing deters the raiders because they’re tough, and if they see a wounded ship floundering, they have no problems swooping in and boarding. Those crews will soon learn the meaning of teamwork if they want to bring the attackers down. They infiltrate the Iskaulit as well, just in case people try to hide there. At this point they are very, very used to tracking down women and children for their slave trade.

If asked why they’re doing this, the answer is simple.

Spare parts have to come from somewhere.

Don’t worry. Nothing on your ship, and no one, will go to waste.]

[A Few Hours Later]

[The raiders are too strong and the Fleet is failing. After what seems like an eternity of warfare, static comes in, broadcasted to the fleet at large. Something or someone is hailing them…

The signal is untraceable and the video is complete static, but they tell the Fleet they are here to help. Ships come swooping out of the black and they open fire on the raiders. They number a dozen, maybe more, and the ships look eerily similar to the ones currently used by the Fleet, if not a bit older and battle-hardened. Their shielding and weaponry is much, much better, however-- and most of them have custom paint or other touches on their hulls.

They’re not invincible, however. A few may end up between a rock and a hard place when the raiders surround them.

Some older residents may remember this particular group of ships. They’re obviously helping out now, but there’s nothing stopping Fleeters from firing on their would-be saviors save a complete lack of weaponry. You do have a Security officer on board, don’t you? They’ll defend themselves by seriously injuring your ship, but they won’t destroy it for some reason. Small mercies.

The raiders soon realize they’re outgunned and jump ship, taking their dead with them. The intercepting fleet pulls back, too, and both parties vanish back into the dark as silently and swiftly as they came. There’s a lot of cleanup to do whether your ship is disabled or you’re preparing to tow someone else.

Hopefully, the people who saved you don’t change their minds.]

[Plot info is here! Feel free to make your own toplevels with fighting, barricading, being boarded, saving others, the aftermath, etc. There's lots to do!]

Who: Jade Harley
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Marsiva
When: 12/1

[ well, jade can't say that she was expecting to wake back up here, because mostly she'd forgotten that "here" had existed for a pretty long time. her expression is still a little stunned when the video broadcast starts from her bunk on the marsiva. ]

Hey! Long time no see. Or - um, never see, I guess, maybe? Considering I have no idea who's here still.

[ has she been gone a day or a year? she can't really tell. happy birthday to her. ]

Soooo... how are things in space, guys?

Who: Steven Universe and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Today!

[Steven has some very mixed feelings about waking up in outer space. On one hand, it's space! He's so excited to be in outer space!

But that is dampened a bit by the conflicting feeling. The last time he was being taken to space, he was being captured and it was a Very Bad Thing.

The tiny child paces around uncertainly, trying to look for any sign of friend or foe. At least he doesn't seem to be in a prison cell this time. Maybe this isn't so bad?

When he finds the video feed, he'll prod at it uncertainly, while trying to be brave.]

Hey! Is anyone there?

Um... This is a nice spaceship! I really like it, and I always wanted to go on a space adventure. But I have important things going on back home, so it would be nice to save the space vacation for later!

[Then he frets a little more and looks around uncertainly.]

Un-unless I'm here 'cuz you're one of the guys that wants to do bad things on Earth. If that's it, then... Can we please just talk?

misterprongs

Who: James Potter (the great and magnifcent).
Broadcast: Fleetwide, from the Marsiva.
Action: Anybody on board the Marsiva!
When: Evening, 9/3.

[James is a tad bit irritated.

For one, he's in space, on a spaceship, something he didn't realize was possible until about fifteen minutes ago. Waking up in a strange location is terrifying enough, but waking up in a strange impossible location is worse. He wandered around a bit, trying to find his friends, his professors, his bloody castle.

That had all been in vain, so have one [1] James Potter, with ridiculously tousled hair, Hogwarts robes, round glasses, and a remarkably unflappable tone.]

Bit of a ridiculous stretch for a beginning of the year prank, yeah?

[He almost sounds hopeful, but James isn't stupid, and he at least has the common decency to avoid the stupid questions ("How are we not suffocating in space?" "How can I fly this thing?"), instead focusing on the completely asinine.]

I hope one of you is open to forging a letter of absence to a one Professor Minerva McGonagall. Make sure it includes that it is definitely not James Potter's fault -- quote that bit -- and that I valiantly resisted any attempted kidnappings with bravery.

[Sounds right.]

feathery

Who: Davesprite and whoever!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: The Wonder~~ball~~duck or stations, if u want.
When: Nowish.

real talk
is there a fucking secret to getting an update around here
i dont mean atromas nonupdate bs that might as well be equatable to a feral child smearing his own diarrhea hullside in a crude reenactment of an already crude neolithic cave painting
but like picking up radio signals or tv stations from our own realities
maybe tuning into whatever godawful shenanigans your posse has gotten up to in your absence
or nonabsence
lets not panic unnecessarily here you all probably know the drill by now there is no fire
so yeah i guess this is a poll
what misfortune has to befall someone before they get firsthand experience with what happens in their timeline
i need specs on these close encounters of the fourth dimensional kind
is it inevitably "whoops i went to sleep or hit my head and now its 20 minutes into the future" or do we have options
asking specifically for people who cant just concuss themselves and receive download options for chill time with obama
or
you know
whatevers going on where youre from

[And, tacked on as an afterthought:]

p.s. if you find feathers clogging anything shipboard it wasnt me

[Aboard the Wonderduck, the resident crowkid can be found at a computer terminal, fucking around with something between bouts of annoyed wing-scratching. He is molting, albeit a little later than usual. It sucks and there are probably black feathers lodged in odd places. As for the stations, well. He's still molting, just at a picnic table. He's perched right in its center, legs crossed beneath him, and sure is making an unnecessary amount of noise with a chip bag. In fact, he's surrounded by a downright implausible number of chip bags, some popped and some not, and some with an unusual orange-glowing property to them.

He may or may not ask if anyone wants to take some of these glowing chips. It's for science.]

ino

Who: Beverly Crusher & Yamanaka Ino ... AND YOU!
Broadcast: Video
Action: On the Iskaulit only
When: Now!

[ The video feed turns on, and there's a blonde girl with a much taller redhead.

They're in an empty-ish room on the Iskaulit, it looks like, and Ino checks to make sure the feed is going before speaking up. ]

Hi everyone! Dr. Crusher and I had an idea, we wanted to see if you guys were interested ...

[ She'll glance over to the other woman, waiting for her to speak up ]

We're thinking of setting up a garden over here on the Iskaulit. I know I, for one, could use a more natural retreat from the confines of our ships during longer stretches of travel between planets. I'm certain we could redirect some of the current water systems for irrigation, and there's more than sufficient space here to build sunlamps and the other equipment we'd need. [She smiles.] Unfortunately, while we both have experience working with plants, I'm afraid neither of us are particularly adept engineers.

[ Ino nods along, grinning a little at the very end of Beverly's statement ]

Now, I know there's plenty of you out there who've got the know-how to help us out. Soooo, what do you say? I've already got a decent stash of seeds and stuff that we could start planting right away, given we've got the right light and water conditions. Of course, we'll also gladly accept any donations or -- y'know, help from all the budding horticulturists out there, so on and so forth.

So? Do we have any takers?

onlyanapple

Who: Crowley and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Right now!

[Crowley isn't in his usual place, lounging before the communications array aboard the Pathstone. Today, he seems to be wandering one of the big, empty spaces within the Iskaulit, looking around him with a small level of appraisal. ]

Back in Paradisa, there were a number of bars around the place. Gave people a place to go spend time, drown their sorrows, maybe people watch, or just sit in a corner and ignore the fact they were trapped in a magical soul-eating castle. One of my favourite places was a bar called the Lux. Great place, that.

[He wanders over to one part of the room, holding one hand out like he's trying to judge the space. ]

Discounting the fleeting places we end up on our travels, we haven't got anywhere like that here. Our own Drift Fleet captives place. Seen as we have this floating lot of empty space following us now, we might as well use it. So this is me, laying claim to this space for a bar that will be named at a later date. Something classy, I think.

Of course, work isn't my thing, so anyone interested in joining me in this grand and marvellous enterprise? I'd say I'll make it worth your while, but I think having our own bar will do that all by itself.

bolder

Who: Toph and YOU potentially
Broadcast: Everyone ever
Action: Blue Fish!
When: August 19, late morning

[VIDEO;]
[A broadcast flickers on, and it's Toph! She's lounging on the weight bench in the cargo hold, lazily moving two fingers up and down. Occasionally the hand weights are caught in the side of the feed, following her hand motions.]

All right knuckle heads, here's the deal. There are shuttle races happening, and I don't mean the sissy "see who can reach the other ship first" nonsense. I mean the "go so fast your engine burns out and your teeth still are still vibrating when you're done" type. The proper type.

[Toph stops moving her hand, and there's a loud, metallic CLUNK in the background as the weight falls to the ship's floor. She stands up, a grin slowly creeping across her face. It's actually somewhat menacing...]

So, I wanna know who's up for some fun. We can make it interesting with bets. Money, things, favors, whatever floats your little boat. Let's see how many of you won't wuss out when you're given an actual challenge.

Make the transfers out to Toph Beifong.

Who: Belthazar & open
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Bishop
When: 8/18, morning

[video;]

[Belth awakens with a gasp like he hasn't breathed for a while. That isn't true, exactly, but he's just had a very long and very strange dream in which he was home. For all intents and purposes, he thinks he was home... after several years, and the crumpled Sunreaver robes at the end of his bed attest to it.]

Adra?

[His voice is small and still.]

... ah.

[... He's gone. Belth has already done his share of inconsolable crying, but he wants to cry again knowing that he's back here and Adrasteius is not. He squeezes his eyes shut until the tightness in his throat subsides, and then he sits up.

Belth is a mess. His hair is disheveled more than usual, and he's wearing nothing but black pants. His skin is entirely pale and mostly unblemished, but there's a glimpse of an intricate tattoo on his back as he leans over to put a long-sleeved black shirt on.

As he glances around, he realizes... there's a light indicating that he's being recorded. He practically howls in frustration and slams the off button--

-- only to turn it on a minute later.]

I went home... I think. This place is very strange. [He rubs his head.] It feels like years, but it's only been a few days. It will take some getting used to.

All of my belongings appear to be in order, but if I find a book missing, I will be very upset.

Who: Nightingale and you
Broadcast: Video
Action: If you're on the Caprine
When: August 14

[It took Nightingale a bit to get around to posting this, and she seems oddly nervous as she does. Still, as the feed comes on, she takes a deep breath.]

Hey. So, for anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Nightingale. I got here... a month or two ago? I guess, somewhere in there. But this is actually my second time doing this sort of thing- I'm now two worlds removed from home, which is fucking great. But it sounds like I'm not the only one like this. I'm starting to suspect there's more of us in that boat here than there are people who have never done this before.

So I wanted to just gather information. See how many of these different interdimensional hellholes there are. I know of two others that were... suspiciously similar to the place I was at before, so maybe there are more themes to these places I haven't figured out yet. And I've heard of a few more since I got here, so.. Yeah. I'd like to hear what those places were, why they told you you were there, what they made you do there... If you went back home then came here, or got taken here straight from there, and so on. Things like that. A record of these things might come in handy eventually, you know?

Thanks for listening.
