A. Insomnia: It's What's For Breakfast | Video | in the Bloodsport's kitchen

[ He has no idea he's being recorded. He has no idea why he's here either. Here, in the larger sense of on this ship, in the fleet, floating through space or here in the simpler sense of in this bloody kitchen. Prior to his arrival here, he'd hardly set foot in a kitchen, and it certainly hadn't been to cook.

He has to assume that assigning him to such duty here was someone's idea of a joke. And not a very funny one, in his opinion.

Even with the technical knowledge of how to do the job right there, strangely, in his mind, he's not very good at it. Knowing how to do something and actually being able to do it well are totally different things. And cooking, like everything else, is made all the more difficult by having only one hand.

Still, he's never been one to concede defeat easily. So when he finds himself tossing and turning, unable to sleep, too restless even to sit still, all but aching with the need to do something, he ventures into the kitchen. It may be hours yet before anyone else is awake, but they'll be wanting breakfast, right?

Anyone watching will see a one-handed man fumbling around the kitchen, dropping things, cursing a lot, and probably making one hell of a mess. If you're lucky, you might even get to see him throw a spatula or punch a microwave. Whatever the case, it's bound to be entertaining. ]


B. Let's Go For A Walk (Around the Planet) | Action | Siourew Wilderness

[ He's bored. He's walked every inch of the ship, explored its every nook and cranny, practiced his way through the entire menu of available foodstuffs (not that it's done any good, mind), tossed and turned and touched himself. Hell, he even resorted to reading - briefly, before he got bored with that too.

The opportunity to explore a new world is more than welcome. And when he learns how much of it is vast, open wilderness, it's even better. He can't help but smile at the sight of trees and rocks and water. Real trees too. Maybe this is what he's been missing. Maybe this is what he needs.

He can't relax, though. Even hours later, when the muscles in his legs are screaming, he can't bring himself to stop. He has to keep going. And going and going and going. He only pauses when he finds himself atop a cliff, looking out over the... is it an ocean? a lake? Who cares? It's a beautiful, pristine, shimmering body of water, and suddenly he feels compelled to jump in. From right here. Maybe take a running leap...

Depending on your timing, you may encounter Jaime hiking feverishly through the mountains, compulsively picking wildflowers and chasing native animals across the fields, or contemplating quite literally taking a flying leap. ]


C. Haunted | Video | Bloodsport

[ He's not very good with this thing, so the video's slightly out of focus and he's slightly out of frame, and for a long moment, he just sits there, unsure where to begin. Addressing a large number of people while actually sitting alone, talking to a small box is a very odd concept, even knowing - intellectually - how it works. ]

I just think you all should know that there is someone very dangerous on board this ship. Someone who may want us all dead.

[ Someone who doesn't seem to like him making this broadcast...

The last thing the video shows is Jaime's stony expression as he looks at something just beyond the camera and slowly stands, reaching for something... ]

[ It has been a while, a long while, since Margaery Tyrell showed her face on the network. Today, however, it seems as if she is in the mood for it; or perhaps, as if she has been planning this little message for a few days now. ]

I do not know if it merits a little celebration or not. Likely, the ones who brought me here will have their own thoughts of the matter.

[ but she smiles, willing to brush aside these thoughts in favor of others. ]

While it may not have been my choice to come here a year ago, it might yet be my choice how to address the entire matter.

[ it's been a year. had she thought she would leave before now, yes? had she hoped to win the game already? of course. had she learned some humility? indeed. ]

The planet is quite lovely is it not? and I have heard of a nearby river. I wonder if a little outing is appropriate of a celebration. It has been a year and I have not seen clear water in months and months.

[ look at her, speaking of months instead of moon cycles. One might think she's turning modern. ]

A picnic by the river - to celebrate my stay here and the friendship that we have all formed. Surely, after the last few weeks we all need a little comfort and joy. I shall be leaving this afternoon, if anyone else cares to join me.

[Tyrion has looked better, truth be told. His mis-matched eyes were distant, sad, and a little red-rimmed. Winn's bottle of wine was open at his elbow, half empty, but it appeared that he had slowed down his consumption from the last time people saw him endulge.

Voice quiet, but steady, he spoke directly into the camera.]

For those who have, or have not been paying attention ... Daenyrs Stormborn Targaryan has gone home. Drogon, I believe, has gone with her.

Action: Hotel Corona or Planet Ikke

a wheel-shaped space station


[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

In order words: it's a mingle!! Everyone get in! ]

Who: Sansa Stark + YOU
Broadcast: Text, fleetwide.
Action: Blue Fish
When: This morning.

Jon Snow and Bran Stark have left the Fleet. Condolences to those who may have befriended them while they were here; Gods-willing, we shall see them again.

[ sansa's message is short -- abrupt, and almost stripped of its emotion. she avoids broadcasting anything but simple text because she does not trust herself to maintain her mask, so to speak. as it is, she's cried too much. losing bran and jon feels like opening old wounds packed with grief. it makes her feel like a little girl again: weak, and mewling.

but she does add: ]
I dread leaving, as they have left. Do others in the Fleet want to stay?

[ later, she can be found sitting on the floor of her personnel office. she has taken the furs from her bunk and has spread them across the ground, and she's allowed jon's direwolf pups free rein of the cozy and comfortable area. sansa's eyes are red-rimmed, and they betray every lie she tells when she insists she's as well as can be expected. but at least her spirits lift, a little, when she's playing tug-of-war with the pups.

they bring her a bittersweet joy. ]

When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

Who: Kirk + YOU!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Tourist if you want to come find him
When: Nov. 19

Hello, my fellow Drifters. For those who don't know me, I'm Jim Kirk - captain of the Tourist.

It seems like everyone's been kind of down lately, so I thought we might try something to lift the mood. They do say laughter is the best medicine after all.

[ He's totally expecting Bones to have a quip for that. Just waiting for it. ]

So I thought I would start with a story from my early captain years on my ship, the Enterprise. Specifically, how I actually got on her in the first place.

Short backstory short, we were being mustered to see to a distress call from planet Vulcan, only I had been grounded due to some technical, ethical review business. Insisting I needed to be on the ship, I found our newest senior medical officer, Bones, and he agreed to help me on.

How, might you ask?

Well, he proceeded to inject me with a vaccine for an alien disease I did not need, and it temporarily made me ill. I am told I looked and sound loopy and or terribly drunk. Well, Bones got me on and took me to med bay to undo the damage of the vaccine by injecting me with more of them. To which I had delightful reactions - passing out, numb tongue, and my hands swelling. And when I say swelling - I mean they looked like cartoon gloves on a friendly animated character kind of swelling. It was like having two blown up surgical gloves for hands.

[ He waves his hands up in front of his face, back and forth, to help you visualize of course. ]

It all turned out okay in the end, but that is the story of how I first got on the Enterprise - which I am now the captain of.

[ There's an upbeat message beneath that, surely. ]

Now - who's next?

Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Tourist!
When: The 27th? Sure why not.

[Network]

[The feed clicks on to show Chloe's room on the Tourist, Chloe sitting cross legged on her bed, unlit cigarette between her lips. Once the feed is working she tucks the cigarette behind her ear and grins.]

I have spent for-fucking-ever over in that stupid game room they set up over there playing those games. They are so boring and I am so good at them now that I never want to play one again, but it was totally worth it because-

[She reaches off-screen for something, then frowns, clearly not finding it.]

Hey where did you...come back here you little shit!

[This last part is muffled a bit as she goes crawling out of sight, the camera feed bouncing. When she returns a few seconds later, there is a squirming ball of fur between her hands, and Chloe is smiling one of the more genuine smiles she's had in months.]

[She lifts her hands up and the tiny creature she's holding finally stops squirming...and settles in to reveal a blue kitten with streaks of purple fur, looking so unhappy as she hangs there from her hands. She's maybe ten weeks old.]


Tadaa!

[Chloe sets the cat down on her lap, scritching her, and the kitten seems comfortable enough to not go running away for a second, at least.]

Haven't named her yet, but I sure wasn't gonna leave her wherever the hell they were storing her with the other prizes. I mean, they pack us in like sardines already right? What if she was sitting in a cage in a back room or something.

[Chloe was clearly more of a softie than her attitude would imply.]

Anyway, just totally showin' off my fancy alien kitten. Feel free to be jealous. [Chloe snickers.] Tourist peeps, she keeps finding ways to sneak out of my room so if you see her running around don't scare her or anything alright? Just...pick her up and I'll come get her. She doesn't bite hard.

[Action for the tourist]

[And Chloe can indeed be found chasing a kitten around the ship on several occasions. Also there's a litter box in the bathroom now? And some food from the Marvisa's pet room in the kitchen. Yeah...the ship has a cat now. Oops.]

You are cordially invited to Cisco and Winn's Not-Too-Terrifying Halloween Costume Party!


Who: everyone ( yes, you too!)
Broadcast: N/A
Action: aboard the Iskaulit!
When: current



[ on the night of the 28th, the lecture hall will open its gates though it'll look remarkably different. Winn and Cisco would have decorated the corridors leading to it with Jack-o'-lanterns made from the pumpkins gathered at the little patch on the planet. The hall itself will be similarly decorated, along with other traditional scary Halloween decorations made from paper and fabric ( don't ruin the little paper spiders, they took hours to make! ). There will be music from various times of Earth-1 and Earth-3, so don't be surprised to find Lady Gaga playing alongside the Spice Girls! Feel free to make requests or otherwise, just show your skills on the dance floor!

There will be a bar run by Nami offering free sodas, though you'll have to pay for your own alcohol ( remember, don't drink and fly! ). Alongside the bar, characters will find a few tables offering candy from Earth-1 won by Cisco at the game room with a little sign reading TAKE ONE, LEAVE SOME FOR OTHERS and quite a lot of space chips and protein dips as well as various candy from all over the different planets ( cleverly hoarded by Winn! ) and a large selection of pumpkin pies and pumpkin treats. Characters will also find a line leading to Cisco's trusty ice cream machine, though it'll only offer peanut butter flavored sorbet.

At the corner of the hall there will be a karaoke machine with a little sign-up sheet. Characters could sign up solo or in groups and list the song they'd like to sing. Keep in mind though, the entire hall will be able to hear your rendition of Sexy and I Know it!

Adventure-seeking characters will be able to follow signs reading HAUNTED HOUSE and reach a large hall that was turned into a maze by large cardboard blocks painted black or covered by dark fabrics. Making it out of the maze won't be too hard and the maze itself won't be too frightening but will be mildly startling. It'll include some nifty engineered animatronics of witches, scarecrows, scary clowns and skeletons as well as holograms of ghosts! The song featured in the invitation will also be heard here, on repeat. It's a good break from the dancing and for some private conversations and moments.

Remember, costume are mandatory! you don't want to be caught by tonight's pumpkin kings, do you? ]

I ought to confess.

This little planet does unsettle me so and why, I cannot explain.

And yet, I have spent far too many days inside and so -

I do very dearly wish for an escort for a short walk outside.

Mayhaps I shall learn to love it, despite it all, we ought not insist on being unhappy, after all.

For some reason, wherever you go today, whatever you're doing-- you suddenly feel compelled to tell the truth.

Was this planned by the Atroma for ratings? Or perhaps it was planned by one of the three factions, sick of everyone sneaking around where they don't belong? No one knows! Have fun trying not to get caught or spill your secrets, friends!

Who: the little queen margaery tyrell + you
Broadcast: yes, unless your name is sansa stark
Action: upon the tourist, if you are so inclined
When: current.

[ those who frequently visit the star system may have seen margaery here and there. running around the moxie part of the planet under the name alerie, sitting in the spirit libraries and presenting herself as olenna tyrell or, quite like today, visiting the savvy part of the planet in the colors of her house, using her true name for a change.

it has been a sweet game of a sort but today she seems to be all business ]


Well, it is an interesting little place we are visiting, is it not? I do hope everyone is keeping well.

I arrived here six moon cycles ago and when I did, a friend of mine and I discussed our name days. It is very difficult for us to know when they would be, here. This realm seems to measure time quite differently than our own. It was my suggestion that we would do well to simply decide on the matter of our name days. My friend, I fear, is very humble and so it was decided -

[ mostly by herself ]

that we shall celebrate our name days on the very same day and I do think the time has come. Those of you who are truly fortunate have already met Lady Sansa Stark, she resides upon the Blue Fish and I do dearly wish to plan this little gathering for her and for myself.

[ she sits up, tucks one curl behind an ear and smiles ]

This entire matter should be kept a secret from Lady Stark. I wish it to be a surprise. I should think two weeks is a proper enough notice, there is more than enough time to purchase presents for her on this little planet.

[ and for margaery, but that's a whole other issue ]

She is very fond of gowns, embroidery, music and lemon cakes. Try and bring her a boon of friendship and affection, if you can find it in you. We shall meet at one of the halls upon the Iskaulit that shall be decorated accordingly to celebrate her and mine name day. As for my own preferences for gifts -

[ a tiny little grin ]

I trust you all to know your way to a lady's heart.

Action: On the Blue Fish, if you'd like!
When: Now?

[There's the distinct sound of a canine sniffing nearby when the feed turns on. Anyone with an acute ear may also hear a different kind of sound, something akin to snuffling. The animal causing it is revealed a moment later. To those not from Thedas, it looks like a pink, hairless mole. But any Thedosian would know that it's a nug.

The camera pans over to Riona, who's feeding said nug while Kiter cautiously sniffs at the other animal. She shakes her head.]


A favor for a favor, I suppose. Sister Nightingale has fallen into one of those comas. For the time being, Schmooples here is in my care. If you were expecting to see her in the interfaith center, I'm afraid it'll have to wait. [She looks over at her puppy, smiling conspiratorially.] You and I will be brainstorming what to draw on her face. Tit for tat, too.

[When she looks back at the camera, her smile falters, and pronounced concern sets in its place.]

Also, Dr. Beverly Crusher seems to be missing. Normally I'd suspect she's gone home, but her things are still here and her name still shows up on the communication device. Something is amiss. If anyone has seen her the past few days, please do let me or any of the crew on the Blue Fish know.

[Her disappearance puzzles her, along with her obvious worry. It's not like Beverly to do that, and with them having left the planet, there are only so many places she could be.]

Those matters aside, we've now returned to the dull void of space and to confinement in our ships until we make land again. There's only so much to entertain in the fleet, especially when you've been here awhile. Recently, I returned home for a few months. Here only a handful of days passed, but it felt much longer. I find myself feeling a bit homesick. So, I have a request.

[She pauses, uncertainty flitting across her face. For a moment she glances down, and finds herself fiddling with her wedding ring, which she's recently gone back to wearing on her hand. She clasps her hands together and looks back at the camera.]

But first, I suppose I should introduce myself to those who don't know me. My name is Riona Cousland [And here there's the slightest pause, a moment of hesitation. She swallows the trepidation back.] Theirin. I've been here nearly eight months.

[Whatever caused her hesitation seems to have passed. She relaxes, and continues:]

In my time, I've heard quite a few things about people's worlds. Comparing them to Thedas - where I am from - always interests me. I love hearing stories, and I'm always happy to share ones from my world, in particular the ones of my home country.

So. Let's do an exchange. A tale for a tale. It can be anything you experienced, or perhaps a legend or fable from your world that you're fond of. And I will tell you one in return. Simple enough, and a good way to pass the evening, no?

[She smiles, wiggling her fingers in good-bye before shutting off the feed.]

it's a good thing he has a not at all unhealthy coping mechanism set in place. ]


You know, if we're entertainment on a reality show, the least they can do is give us like a recap - you know your basic [ in a tv announcer impression ] here's what you missed on the Fleet - or - last week, on the young and the Drifting - [ he rubs the back of his head before shaking it ] Well, maybe talking about the 'least they can do' isn't such a great plan...first order of business - what'd I miss? Second order of business - if you or anyone you know has ever fallen into an unexplained sleep here or at any other kidnappy world - I'd appreciate it if you'd answer a couple questions, they're a text attachment at the bottom. Sorry if it's been done before, I'll gladly take a link to any previous research as well as fresh data. Third order of business -- hi. [ he gives the camera a little wave and a nervous chuckle ] Um. Yeah, I'm, I'm fine, I should've opened with that but if you know me the order isn't really gonna surprise you that much and if you don't you're probably really confused right now and looking for the off button - it's to your right, right on top, there you go.

That's it, I guess....good morning, Drifters - don't forget to drink your coffee! Winn out -

This little world is very sweet, is it not?

[ there is a smile there before she continues ]

I come to you today with a request. I am certain you have all found the natives as kind as I have, they are good people, sweet and giving in nature. I know there are many who chose to work with them, I have as well. There are these - wonderful little acorns they use in place of gold. Yet - some of them are less fortunate than others in the way of acorns, I was saving some of my own acorns to buy little trinkets, toys and clothes for the children, there are many of them and not all of them are as fortunate as ourselves.

[ she moves to collect some small dolls made of cloth to her lap ]

I have began to collect some things to give out to them. If there are any who wish to share some of their acorns, even a little would help greatly. It would be a sweet way to give thanks to those who have been so wonderful to us and allowed us to find both work and comfort here. I am certain it would be a wonderful surprise for the little ones as well.
