Who: Kitty Pryde and You!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Twin Roses or the Malum on the Iskaulit
When: Now

I have some things I'm looking to send to good homes. There's a lot of men's clothing, some sewing materials, shaving supplies, and a few odds and ends. It's probably time they go to someone who can make use of them. [For anyone whose known her long enough this description might make it clear enough these are Winn's things.] It's been over two years. [She knows exactly how many days over—twenty.] That's probably long enough to hold on to them. [And maybe it will make room for new things.] I'll probably donate them at the next planet if no one is interested, but feel free to stop by the Twin Roses if you want to take a look.

Or stop by the Malum during my shift tonight and we'll pour one out to the people we're still missing. I mean, I'll charge you for the pour, so feel free to use your mouth for it. [She gives the screen a little smile.]

Who: Ciel Phantomhive and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Goldstone
When: Afternoon of June 1

[The blue-haired teen is in the kitchen of the Goldstone, a cup of tea steaming in front of him. His communicator is propped up so her can just relax and enjoy his tea. And a small plate of oddly shaped cookies.]

What do you all do when you arrive in a new world in the middle of a year? And yet you left at the end, just shy of your birthday?

[He nibbles at a cookie, sets it down, and takes a sip of tea.]

I arrived in Riverview in July but I left England just two weeks before my fourteenth birthday. So it was sensible to say I was fourteen. I was there a year, so... fifteen. It's been about six months here, would I almost be sixteen now?

[There's a soft sigh, toying with a cookie.] Interesting as all this is, it's a bother to think about it all. I'd be marrying in a year, if I were in England...

[He doesn't seem too concerned about that though and takes a deep breath, smiles, and gestures to the cookies.] There are biscuits here in the kitchen, if anyone on the Goldstone would like. I made too many.

Who: Pavel Chekov and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Iskaulit or Bloodsport, if you like
When: Now

[voice]

I have a question to ask all of you, if I may--something that I have been thinking about.

[This thinking has nothing to do with the recent broadcast from the Interceptor Fleet. Nope. Not at all.]

What or where, to you, is home?

Is it a place? Is it people? Is it in the universe that you came from, or have you found a new home in your time away? If home is not here, would you return to it if you were granted the opportunity to do so?

What does home even mean?

I ask partially because I'm not certain of the answer for myself. I have thought of many different things as home: a country, a ship, a crew. There have been times, even, when I considered a single person home... but however I defined it, I was certain of it. I knew where it was, and I knew that it was where I belonged. That becomes difficult to maintain, you know, after several years in a place like this--the certainty of belonging, and the sense of home.

So I would like to know how you think of it. Maybe this question is too personal, but I hope that someone might humor me.

[action]

[In the mood for some in-person interaction? Pavel can be found in his usual haunts on the Iskaulit: in the library, jogging in the ship's more open areas, working (or drinking) at the Space Bar. Or come across him on the Bloodsport. That's where his quarters and his cat are, after all!]

unspangled

Who: Steve Rogers (AU)
Broadcast: Network
Action: SS Blue Fish, SS Iskaulit
When: During drift

Network

What's your favorite kind of music? I ask because I'm still catching up on what I missed back home, but I like discovering new things.

Action

[ During the first week or so of drift, thanks to mostly palling around on his own in the last system, ~~Steve~~ Grant seems slightly more at ease in his own skin now. He's still not the most talkative guy around, but he's working on that. A little. Mostly he can be found on board his own ship or at work, but sometimes he'll go to the gym at odd hours or settle down in the art room with some paints or a pencil and blank sheets of paper.

Less often, but when he's most restless and can't sleep, he'll just walk around and make maps in his head of where his fellow passengers are allowed. And where they aren't. ]

rheecon

Who: Glenn Rhee & anyone! <3
Broadcast: Fleetwide & Personal
Action: Goldstone
When: April 19th, shortly after his return

[ It's been a few hours since he woke up back on the Goldstone, long enough to compose himself through the lingering dread, to find out about recent departures and weather a different kind of shock. He throttles that down for the moment, long enough to reach out... ]

[ video | broadcast ]

Uh, hey. I just wanted to let people know that I'm back. Though I guess I didn't actually go anywhere?

[ His brow furrows, the tone is a little questioning, dubious – it's all very disorienting, suddenly missing a month and change. And on top of that, right out of calibrations... but he shrugs it off, retaining a carefully composed demeanor. ]

Anyway. I'm back on the Goldstone, and... if I missed anything important, let me know? [ With a small, tight-lipped smile, ] Thanks.

theladyofwinterfell

Who: Sansa Stark
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Starduck
When: during the Drift

( Sansa hadn't been aware of fanmail until recently and while she's aware that the Atroma watch them and they have ratings, it is something in the back of her mind most of the time. The idea that those who watch them would send them letters is a bit intriguing and she goes to pick hers up, wondering if she can get insight into those who have them held hostage and see what they'd like more of and, possibly of more importance, what it will take for them to let her go.

She's actually quite surprised to see a thick bundle of fanmail for her and she decides she'll open it in a video; how better to cultivate more ratings than to open these letters and see what things have been said about her? She can see rolled up drawings, too, and she wonders if there are any of Lady or Tyrion. Those would be wonderful to keep. What she finds takes her breath away. The first drawing she unfurls is of Lady, her piercing eyes at the forefront. It's beautiful. Sansa unfurls another, eager, and instantly regrets her decision to broadcast this.

It's she and Bucky in the gym, only neither of them are clothed and she's sprawled atop him so she's more exposed than he is. Another drawing is similarly lewd, only it's she and Tyrion in a bath. There's one with a woman she doesn't know. There's written letters and she reads one, ripping it in half when it describes things she's not even done in bed with Tyrion, much less Wanda. She addresses the camera, face white and hand trembling. )

Please, I beg you, if you get fanmail and it mentions me do not read it. Everything...the Atroma have painted me as some sort of whore who...I've not done any of these things!

Who: Vash and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Space Bar
When: Right now!

Video

[It's taken Vash a lot of talking to get himself to make this post. He was embarrassed and shy which was making it very difficult. Still, it was something he had been thinking about for months now so he really needs to do it. No point to keep putting it off.]

So, ah, I know there are some doctors on board. People skilled with magic too. Is anyone good with getting rid of old scars. Like really bag, old scars? The kind make up won't cover up?

Action

[Vash will also be working his bartender job at The Space Bar later on. Standing behind the bar with a big smile on his face.] What can I get you? [Come tell the bartender all your problems!]

passingthrough

Who: Twin Roses crew and pals! (Soon-to-be pals?)
Broadcast: Video to the crew only
Action: Twin Roses
When: Breakfast now, mingling through the month

[Private video to the crew]
[It starts with just panning over the kitchen counter full of food. There are so many donuts Vash might let you have one as well as fruits, breads, meats, and eggs she managed to buy while they were still in the last system. She even managed to find a combination of squeezed fruits that made a great juice. Kind of pineapple orange banana flavored with a twist? It was way too much fresh food for just Kitty to enjoy. Normally she’d just let everyone know it was up for grabs to make what they wanted, but today she wanted to do something special—a breakfast together.

And when they arrive they'll also find there is a little box for each of them containing some metalwork she had commissioned on the planet—a pin with two stylized roses on it in honor of the Twin Roses.]

I hope you worked up an appetite with all that sleeping. And if you had anyone sleep over they’re welcome too.

And even if you don’t eat or already got something could you stop by? There are some things we should figure out together. [More on that, soon.]

tallasaking

Who: Kitty Pryde (Blue), Tyrion Lannister (Red), and YOU!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Málum
When: Now

[Kitty is holding his communicator outstretched so it can better fit her and Tyrion into the frame.]

So, with Crowley leaving awhile ago and various other employees disappearing on us we realized we’re the only ones working at the Málum which doesn’t really work for us because we have lives.

As amusing as it might sound for me to live in this particular bar, considering my ... vast love for wine and varying other liquors. [Tyrion smirks faintly into the communicator.] As it stands, two people cannot run a place like this properly. Ergo, we need more people.

That’s where you come in. Now hiring, well, everything. Bartenders, chefs, maintenance, maybe entertainment? [She looks at Tyrion.] Think we need a bouncer? I mean, for shifts I’m not on. Anything else?

[Tyrion mused for a moment, before he smiled once more.] Must be willing to deal with our rather upscale environment. No shoes, no shirt, no employment. We serve everyone but we are ...what is that word? Classy.

I’m personally open to negotiation on the shirts depending on who you are. [Smiling.] Hit us up.

(OOC: One or both of them will reply/interview you!)

outstandingbalance

Who: Natasha Romanoff
Broadcast: video
Action: SS Vanquish
When: now or later

[Natasha's face appears on the video, looking tired but focused. Thoughtful. She also looks like the image she presents, insofar as she can control it, is intentional. She's in her quarters, but the camera is angled to reveal little aside from a blank ship wall and the edge of her bunk behind her face and shoulders. There's no fumbling.

When the video starts, she flashes a slight smile.]

As announcements go, this one's a bit late. As of the end of calibrations, I've been the listed captain for the Vanquish.

[It's not an announcement that comes with any pride, or any sense of authority.]

It has had me thinking. I know different ships treat the titles differently, take them more seriously—or less. Most of the time it hasn't mattered to me all that much.

Not like there's any qualifications for it.

[The 'but' in her words is heavily implied in the pause that follows, the slow way she sighs through her nose.]

I've been wondering lately how people would like it to be. If you had a say in it—hypothetically unless you're my crew I suppose—how would you like captains to treat their job? And what would you say their job is.

[She leans back a little, visibly waiting for a response before the video cuts out.]

ashandflame

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: Lup + anyone!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Heron / Iskaulit
When: Nowish

Hey there, fleeter friends, let me pick your brain for a few minutes, get those creative juices flowing.

If you could have any kind of magical weapon, armor, or a fancy artifact- what would it be, and what could it do? The theoretical sky is the limit, here, this is just a fun thought experiment.

[Toooootally theoretical. She's not fishing for new stuff to work on, no sir.

Lup can be found easily enough in person as needed, either in her room or in the kitchen on the Heron, or messing around in the smithy onboard the Iskaulit. It's project time.]

[Aaron does clear his throat before speaking.]

So, this planet seems interesting. Does anyone want to go exploring? Maybe just get out into something a little more open than the ships? Personally, it's been way too long since I've smelled pine.

(OOC: If you'd like to do anything specific, like meet and greets or just hanging out, feel free to post a starter, or drop me a line on plurk (

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS First Breath
When: Today! It's a special day!

( video broadcast )

[ the feed splutters before turning on. loki is surrounded by a whole bunch of boxes. boxes as far as the eye can see. loki has started opening them while the speakers blast this song loud and clear. loki, for his part merely huffs. ]

It seems I have spent a total of a year in this place and the, ah, viewers wish to celebrate. However most of this is useless to me, so I welcome anyone else taking them into their hands.

[ which, ngl, he's into. but the gifts loki has are just . . . baffling. he holds each one up to the camera. we have the mighty thor scooter, captain chickmerica, loki on hotwheels, a masterpiece, plastic horns, disturbing panties and something for "sophisticated men" ]

Please feel free to come by to the First Breath to pick them up.

Also, this has reminded me. Since we are essentially living by this . . . awkward mortal calendar, I have decided I want a birthday. You lot should help me pick one.

[ and get him presents. this is essentially a ploy for presents. ]

Who: Mikumo Guynemer and you! (Yes, even you!)
Broadcast: Oh yes
Action: Red Fish
When: 3/9

Action the Red Fish

[Finding herself on a strange ship would probably worry Mikumo, but... she's not really that kind of girl. Her life is just not normal. Besides, she has a feeling that she knows where she is. Sort of.

It's not either of the ships she was on the first time she was here, nor is it the big ship she spent a few days on before being moved. It's new, but the confetti and the faux-pudding cups are a clue. The idol just shakes her hair free of the brightly colored paper and starts to look around the ship.]

Hm, it looks as if someone let Messer decorate the walls. How interesting.

[As she walks down the halls, she trails a hand down the walls. Nothing comes away, but that doesn't mean she isn't a bit surprised.

She stops at a mess of paper that looks as if it is telling some secret to the many little dials around the ship and points when she sees one that leads to the residences.]

My, my. This would make visiting others so much easier.

Video

[Mikumo eventually ends up in her private room on the ship, the Red Fish and she pulls out her communicator. She waggles her fingers playfully before blowing a kiss at the screen.]

Well, hello, people of the Fleet. It's so lovely to be back here. Tell me, have I missed any venues? I see about this memory sharing thing that's happened again, but I suppose it's a good thing I missed that. I don't have many to share with you.
