Who: Everyone who wants in!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: MINGLE TIME, Iskaulit Lecture Hall
When: The day before drift starts

=====

[With help from other Fleeters, Minako had coordinated the lecture hall being decorated into an auditorium for their auction. It was done up somewhat cheesy, like a 90's high school prom, with hearts and cute things... streamers, balloons... anything she could find on the planet below to make it work.

She also managed to order a buffet of hors d'oeuvres and finger foods (nothing super fancy) for people to snack on, and there were drinks. There wasn't specifically punch, but there wasn't anything alcoholic being supplied, so that would have to be brought in by others. She's a minor!

Before the auction itself starts, but once everyone's there, Minako steps up on the stage to address everyone.]

I want to thank everyone for participating tonight. It's a great showing of people and I know we'll be able to use the supplies we'll be getting during the next drift. I hope everyone has a good time tonight, and I definitely hope you all have wonderful dates.

Now... let the auction begin!

[She'd step to the side, and then introduce each person as they came out for their bidding.

Afterwards, she thanked everyone again, wished them all luck on their dates, and told them to enjoy the rest of the night!]

{OOC: Each of the characters being sold has a top level for the bidding portion. The winners that were rolled are in the subjects. Feel free to make your own top levels like a typical mingle if you want to do more than just the bidding. Also, you can go hog-wild bidding in each of the individual top levels, but the winners have already been picked for some of them. Those who didn't get an RNG pairing (sorry, we had less buyers than people sold) are open to having fun with bidding and you can determine who wins. Just because you're not the winner of a person doesn't mean you can't play out a bidding war if you want to! Have fun!}

Current Mood: chipper

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!

Who: Akeldama and you!
Broadcast: Fleet wide
Action: Planet side and First Breath
When: While on planet

Broadcast
[Look who finally made his way out of the ship and into the city. Of course its at night because that's the only time he can get out, when the sun goes down. Behind him is part of the underground city as he sits somewhere having a drink (it's some sort of alcohol, not the other thing)]

Now this is never something that I dreamed of seeing. The things I have seen.

[He says this dramatically, pulling out his fan and fluttering it like he might faint. He's not going to]

It does solve so many problems though with possibly being exposed to sunlight. A shame there aren't more. It truly, truly is.

Action
[Where can someone find Lord Akeldama in a place with so much to do. Shopping of course in perhaps a vain attempt to find something that would fit his particular style aesthetic.

Of course, prior to daylight hours, he must return to his ship, enjoying the space before it was time to sleep]

Who: Magnus and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Iskaulit & the SS Vanquish
When: Anytime during drift

( [action] )

[video;]

[Magnus is apparently standing in the obstacle course on the Iskaulit, if anyone's been there recently. He thought he understood the programming, he really did-- but there appears to be a Magnus-shaped hole in several of the obstacles behind him, like he crashed through them in a straight line instead of going around them. The splinters are very telling. Sorry, Peter.]

So, uh, your training room here?

[A couple sparks pop off in the background. Magnus casually uses a detached automatic tennis ball shooter as a backscratcher.]

I thought an obstacle course was supposed to slow people down, but it's not working. Maybe I hit the wrong button. Anyway, whoever's in charge of it-- you should look into that.

[Something falls over nearby. Magnus glances off camera.] Hmm... guess I can clean up before I leave. It's not safe to leave broken boards laying around.

[The feed cuts here, presumably so he can do this.]

[ooc: I got permission! The obstacle course will have reinforced boxes and boards after this, and he'll work on fixing the metal stuff he broke next system. ~~Probably.~~]

waywardking

Who: (AU) Noctis and YOU
Broadcast: Nah
Action: Blameless and Iskaulit
When: After April 7th Shuffle to April 11th

SS Blameless, after shuffle

[Since being suddenly transported to a space ship (and suddenly being vaguely familiar with space as well) apparently wasn't disorienting enough, clearly it was time to do it again. Noctis didn't want to, of course, because during the week he'd been stuck on the Marsiva, he'd managed to develop a decent mental map of the place.

And now he has to start all over.

He doesn't know where he's ended up this time, but there was music and the space feels smaller than the Marsiva. Hmm. It takes him a minute to find a wall, and then he's following it.]

I hope this doesn't happen all the time...

Iskaulit, April 9-11

[So now he's found another ship! But this time he's here on purpose, but still equally lost. The Iskaulit is bigger than the Blameless, but apparently more lively, which means more witnesses if Noctis happens to run into a wall or door frame.

Or person.]

Gah, sorry...didn't know you were there.

Who: Kogarasumaru and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Caprine
When: Today!

Broadcast

[Kogarasumaru is sitting in the garden of the Caprine. On his shoulder rests a beautiful bird who currently happens to be asleep and burrowed into that wing hair of its owner.

The owner who smiles at the screen now.]

It would seem that we have had quite a few changes after returning to our ships. Some new arrivals and some loses as well.

[He looks to the bird and gently strokes its head.]

Sadly, Baku has departed. In her place, as captain of the Caprine, you will find myself. I am also the caretaker of the fox park and dojo here. I will be continuing my sword lessons now that we have returned. Should you require answers to questions, this father is named Kogarasumaru.

[He will nod and leave that there. Anyone living on or visiting the Caprine is welcome to come visit him.]

therewerefifty

Who: Makie and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Caprine (or Marsiva if you find her hidden away)
When: Post shuffle!

[Marsiva]

[Honestly, this waking up on the Marsiva with a coughing fit thing is getting old. Also confusing this time round, because she's pretty sure she didn't go home. There's nothing to go home to. When she checks the network, she finds she's been gone for months.

...where?

In light of feeling like death warmed up, she elects to pull the blankets up in the room she finds herself in and rest. When she can hold a conversation without sounding so raw, she'll hit the network. The last time this happened she hadn't been sure of her welcome. This time, she knows. People will have missed her.

Which is a good feeling. She'll need to let them know she's all right.]

[Caprine]

[As it turns out, she's only on the Marsiva for a matter of hours, which is new. The musical intro is what wakes her as she's dumped suddenly onto the bridge of an unfamiliar ship. Instinctively, then, she shields her face, because the last thing she needs to do right now is inhale the confetti that comes raining down. It would be a terrible first impression.

So... it's not the most graceful entrance she's ever done, that's for sure-- meet your new Tactical officer? A thin, sickly woman in a kimono. Hi. She'll do her best to introduce herself to the crew politely and then find a way to whichever room will be hers for the time being. She'd like nothing more than to go back to sleep, but at this point it would be the height of rudeness not to alert people to her return.

So.]

[Video]

I don't understand why this has happened, but it seems I've... been gone for some time. I am sorry. Is... everyone still here?

[That's a pretty vague question, Makie.]

Who: Magnus and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The planet/the SS Vanquish
When: The last day or so before drift

( ss vanquish )

-----

[video; after shuffle]

[The screen is a little uncomfortably close to Magnus' rugged jaw as he tries to find a good angle for this thing. Finally he figures it out and sets it on what appears to be a wooden table, somewhere-- a café? Or maybe just a really stylish kitchen? It's hard to tell from the background alone. Magnus dominates most of the view even with personal space taken into account, and half of that is probably sideburns.]

Um... hail and well met! This is kinda weird and... definitely new, so I'm not totally sure you can see me? But uh, hopefully you can hear me. My name's Magnus-- Magnus Burnsides. I have a really, really important question to ask.

[A beat.]

Okay, two-- no, three questions? Actually, wait... you know what, I'll just stick with the big one for now.

Are you absolutely sure that the people who kidnapped us aren't in the really big ship everyone wakes up on? Because it seems to me-- we've got a bunch of ships, and we can probably steer them-- so, it seems to me like we should be able to get onto it somehow and poke around.

Has anyone tried that?

miraclewhip

Who: Trevor Fucking Belmont
Broadcast: Network - OTA
Action: On the Marsiva for about 12 seconds before being beamed off to the Vanquish
When: Immediately before/during/after the Shuffle.

[ Is he trying to beat up the Marsiva? Yes, he is trying to beat up the Marsiva. Just slamming his shoulder and fists into a wall over and over. This continues for maybe a couple of seconds before he's not there anymore.

He yelps and backs away quickly from the very colourful, paper-based attack that gets launched at him as soon as he arrives on the Vanquish ] The fuck?!

[ He takes a moment to get his bearings. This one's smaller than the last one. And then he's yelling, in no direction in particular because what he's addressing is the Marsiva- ]

Get back here and fight me, you cowardly fucking castle! Don't try to hide behind your children!

canofmanji

Who: Manji and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Vanquish and Iskaulit
When: During the day

[Manji had seen Katie had left on the roster. He checked after hearing Makie had left and saw her name listed there. Still he waited another week before returning to the ship, half expecting them to come back.

He quietly looks around Katie’s abandoned room as if to assure himself she’s really gone before picking up an item and walking out again to return to the Iskaulit. It has been more of a home to him then the Vanquish has been. Which is why when he makes his broadcast it’s in the garden on the Iskaulit.]
Katie is gone if you haven’t checked the rosters. Don’t know if she left anyone anything as I didn’t check, but you can look at her room if you want. Sorry. I guess. [He’s really not good at this sort of thing.

He thinks he has turned the broadcast off as he tosses the communicator down on the ground. Maybe he did and it’s turned itself back on, but either way it gives a crocked shot of Manji standing with the item he stole from Katie’s room: her lightsaber.]
How’dcha turn it on again? [He gives it a couple wags in his hand before the beam erupts from the handle as Manji yelps in surprise.] SHIT! [At least he didn’t stab himself with it this time? He turns the handle over in his hand several times.] There we go.

canofmanji

Who: Manji and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the planet
When: Right now!

[One afternoon Manji opens up his communicator.] Kogarasumaru! [He speaks with confidence that he probably shouldn't have.] You remember our fight, right? Well, I'm ready if you are. Shall I meet you at your dojo or somewhere on this junk of a planet? [Thanks to this thread Manji has a fight to pick. He could just call Kogarasumaru out privately, but he hasn't figured out how to do that just yet.]

Action: Junker Racing

[You know what else Manji can do that's really dumb? Try driving a car in a junker race with one arm. How hard can driving a car be when the most advance transportation you've ever driven was a horse?

And-- opps, yup. He's just crashed. In a spectacular fashion. Good thing he's immortal? Still, he may need a hand out of that wreckage.]

dothelokimotion

Who: A baby Loki + You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS First Breath
When: Right now!

[ loki is no stranger to space ships. though the kind of ships asgard uses are quite different in nature, he's read enough to be familiar with the make and feel of this one. he quietly turns on the recording device, squinting at it. very primitive but it'll have to do. he straightens himself, as befitting a prince, quiet and somber despite the nervousness. ]

Greetings. I am Prince Loki of Asgard. I wish to know about my whereabouts and swift return to Asgard. My father will not be pleased.

[ a pause as loki thinks of what else to add before pulling out a large knife he stole from the kitchens. ]

Also I have a knife.

canofmanji

Who: Manji and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Iskaulit
When: During Glitch Fest '18

[Manji instantly knew something was funny when he woke up swimming in his clothes. No, he's not a child. He's just been miniaturized.] The hell-!? [His voice even has that high pitched, squeaking sound as if he inhaled a bunch of helium to it. He needs a drink. So he goes to the space bar and finds he's too short to reach the counter. So instead he works on jumping and pulling himself up onto the stool that suddenly feels like it was made for a giant.

He looks thoroughly unimpressed as he speaks into the communicator.] Seen a bunch of weird shit happening lately. [No, he's not going to say anything about his stupid sounding voice. Doing his best to act like it was normal.] These things usually only last about a week? Right?

[Find the tiny man who likely won't come up to your knee just about anywhere on the Iskaulit. Careful not to step on him. Or find him after he's tried to tie giant pieces of wood to his feet and does his best to walk around on them. How to women make this look so easy?]

mikangirl

Who: Nami and you!
Broadcast: Yas
Action: Bloodsport, Blameless, Iskaulit, stations
When: Now

[Nami wakes up and promptly falls out of bed. A long way.

...crew, there seems to be an unfamiliar child's voice swearing colourfully at high volume in your captain's quarters. Maybe Nami's taking her feelings over Sam leaving out by kidnapping kids. Or maybe--

The door slides open to reveal a tiny redhead, familiar tattoo visible on one arm and all but drowning in a T-shirt way too large for her ~~and stretched at the front~~.

--maybe your captain's just glitching. And furious. In a pint-sized kind of way.]

---------

[Uh, so yeah. She's going to hit the network just so people don't start fretting over a small child being on board and trying to dutifully look after her tiny innocent and non-existent sensibilities.

Sup, guys. Get your jokes out of your system now, okok]

So apparently I shrank in the wash. [Sarcasm is great this time of the morning.] I'll still be in for shift as normal, don't stress, I'm not as young as I look.

...if anyone has spare clothes that might fit, I'd appreciate it. I'd rather not waste money on a glitch.

[THIS ISN'T GOING TO RUIN HER PLANS, SCREW YOU ATROMA. You can find her:

- at the Space Bar, working;

- at the gardens, lugging a stepladder over so she can even reach the higher fruit on her trees, sob;

- or down at the stations deciding to milk her child status for all it's worth. Seriously, you can probably find her splashing in a fountain somewhere and charming the pants off some random tourists.

...

And eventually, she arrives at the Blameless, because enough is enough. Sup, Messer, she's stomping through the ship looking for you.]

canofmanji

Who: Manji, Makie, and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: No
When: Early morning

[When the broadcast starts there’s a bang and loud swearing, but no image. That’s because Manji has just landed on the communicator. He didn’t intend to turn it on. His voice has a bit strain to it.]

You know, I’m starting to think you’re making this into a habit. [There’s sudden swearing under his breath about the same time as a loud clang. It’s quickly followed by the sound of fighting and Manji shouting out in a bit of a panic.] W-wait a minute! Can’t you at least hand me my foot back first!?

You didn’t want me to hold back. [I mean honestly, Manji. You can’t have it both ways.]

Yeah, I know but-- OW I’m makin’ a mess all over here! [Also, he wants you to stop without sounding like a weakling. He doesn’t actually care about the mess.

His opponent doesn’t seem to care either way. There’s a whistling sound and the strike of steel against steel, but it’s a little slower than before. She’s going a little easier on him after all; something about grievous injury.]

I thought you said “I am always serious”. [The teasing tone in his voice is a very poor choice on Manji’s part. There’s a pause, and then a flurry of sound and another yelp.] GODDAMMIT!

...you have a long way to go. [She sounds so serene, like she’s lecturing a child.] We’ll try again next week.

WAIT! Where are you going? At least gimme back one of my legs! HEY!

[Yeah, no. Perish or something, Manji, she’s out.]

Women. [It’s grumbled out after Makie leaves.]

(OOC: Manji will be the main one responding to voice. But Makie can be reached by her own communicator so, if you want her, please specify that your character is speaking to Makie.)
