Who: Minako and YOU
Broadcast: YES
Action: Sure. She's on the Red Fish, but I'm open to meeting up on the planet or Iskaulit!
When: Backdated a couple of days.

====

Hi, everyone! Minako here, again.

So, after hearing back from a good number of you who were interested, the final verdict is that we're going to use the money raised from the date auction for purchasing supplies before we leave the system.

Personally, I think that's a great idea.

SO... that said, I've gotten quite a lot of sign ups! I'm really excited. Remember, though, we need buyers for this to really work, so don't forget to stop by this weekend. I'm going to set it up in the lecture hall on the Iskaulit.

I can also use help with decorating and other tasks surrounding the auction, so, even if you don't want to participate in the matchmaking part, you're perfectly welcome to help in other ways! Just let me know!

Bye for now!

Current Mood: chipper

Who: Jean Grey
Broadcast: Fleet Wide
Action: N/A
When: 5 April

( Jean isn't a stranger to space. She isn't a stranger to time travel. She is, however, a stranger of being kidnapped to a space fleet, released, and kidnapped back. What's the deal? What's so special about her that the Atroma want to bring her back for another round? She's a telepath, sure, but there's other telepaths in the world. There's other mutants. She isn't any better than the rest of them. Still, there's a whisper in the back of her mind that she tamps down and locks shut - something she vacuum seals to keep it from contaminating the rest of her mind. You have the Phoenix Force. You're chosen. It's always you. Death and rebirth, cycling on. She turns on the camera and decides to just do it live. Stream of consciousness is still a thing in 2019, isn't it? )

Look, I was here before. The people were cool but the forced captivity was something I wasn't a fan of. I'm just a girl, ok? There's no reason why I need to be here over anyone else and I have shit I need to do back home. How do you get the Atroma to spring you permanently? Do you have to pay them off or something? Because I think I could swing something. I've got friends in high places.

( It's probably useless but Jean feels the need for agency. So much of her life depends on teamwork, on relying upon others to do the right thing and do their part and she's not someone who likes relinquishing control. It takes everything in her not to just take over; this is why group projects were never a good idea in school and should be permanently banned. The Atroma can stab themselves in the eye with a rusted spork for all she cares. She just wants to go home, finish her mission, grab a slice and do the same thing tomorrow. That's it. The normal desires of a twentysomething with the most dangerous job in the world, right? Right. )

Seriously, though. I'm not here for it. I just need to get back home and if anyone has left and come back before, hit me with your ideas. I'm not above telekinetically frying all the circuits on this piece of shit just to make a point. I think it might end in some consequences I don't want, though, so if you have ideas that aren't going to turn me into a vegetable, I'm all ears.

Who: Katie and You (Yes You)
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Iskaulit
When: Eh, now

[She actually got her memory back a bit over a week ago, but between the instability of her magic on re-awakening and the messing around with souls that followed, it's just been safer to keep a low profile. For everyone else, that is. There's nightmares in that thar mist for the accidentally enchanted. (And also, a question answered: if she dies here, she stays here in her entirety. Her fae soul is trapped, too. Which... is vaguely irritating, but to be honest she's a little relieved about it.)

So she's kept herself busy locked away in one of the Iskaulit's rooms and a selection of paints, following through on the idle joke she had with Crowley months ago. Painting is good therapy!

...so's vandalism.]

[Video]

[It's first person handy cam! Heading down a corridor towards a door.]

It's come to my attention that I somehow missed talking to our lovely hosts a few weeks ago! That's a shame. I wouldn't have minded snogging one or the other. I've decided to take out my remorse about it on a few walls. I do hope nobody was using this room for anything else beforehand--

Ah. Here you go.

[The door is flung wide to show a freshly-painted, extremely flattering painting of Carmen and Chase, taking up one wall of this room and painted in an assortment of complementary pastels.]

Do you like it? It's not quite finished yet. [She puts the comm down facing the wall and leans into view for a moment, hair swinging, to wave gaily at the camera.] Just hold on a moment...

[Aaand she's gone.

And then there's the godawful scrape of a large metal container being dragged across the floor until she manages to get it into view of the camera: an industrial size bin full to overflowing with rotting fruit and other assorted trash she's scavenged from all over the place.]

That's better.

Would anyone like to practice their aim?

[I am a responsible Captain.]

Who: Wanda Maximoff
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Drade, if you want
When: After the Shuffle

[Wanda's idly toying with what looks like a bright blue apple while she talks. Welcome to life in space, apparently. She's both intrigued and not quite sure she trusts it, like many of the things here. But at least Drade, strange as it is, is open. She doesn't particularly care for confined spaces like the ships.]

I have only been here a little while and already I hear so many stories about the mists. If you've gone exploring, what did you see?

[She's sure someone must have, especially given some of the whispers she's heard of treasure. That doesn't appeal to her as much, but she is curious. And more than a little weirded out. Mist that can drive someone to madness? It's not the same thing at all, not really, but it does feel unsettlingly close to home.]

Who: Jean Grey
Broadcast: fleet-wide
Action: SS Vanquish
When: 10 June

( Jean isn't a stranger to space. She isn't a stranger to time travel. She is a stranger to this particular space ship, though, and she's not really sure why she's here or how she got here. It's a pain in the ass, really, considering she just got back from space not even two weeks ago and here she is again, trapped in the limbo of endless black and stars close enough to touch. She'd started on a ship with limited capacity and basically no people and at least she's actually on a ship with people now. It's an improvement - somewhat.

Great. Just peachy.

Maybe this time they can skip the Invasion of the Symbiotes and she'll get to keep control of her own body and mind. It'd be nice, for once, not to have to worry about some alien entity invading her body for the fun of it. )

So, uh, question? What sector of space are we in, exactly? Because I just got back from a stint on Klyntar and let me tell you, it wasn't great. I don't want to go back. So if we're anywhere remotely close by (read: within one million lightyears), I'd like to go ahead and nope out now.

( Maybe this isn't the best way to introduce herself to an entire space fleet but, hey, Jean has never been one to beat around the bush. Being a telepath, she has an idea of how people's brains work and it's given her the overarching sense that she needs to just shoot straight ninety nine percent of the time. What's the point in subtlety? Say what you think, be bold, no regrets. It keeps people from misinterpreting your motives, anyway. )

Anyone got ideas on how I can get back to Earth from here? I don't want it to seem like it's less important than the former, because really, if I'm not anywhere near Klyntar I'm good, but I kind of have a team I need to get back to. I'm Jean Grey and I'm captain of the X-Men.
