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!]

axi

Who: Kaname Buccaneer (and others for some stuff)
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Bloodsport, Planet
When: May 11, mid-morning

( Private to Mikumo and Mirage )

[The public broadcast has her in the same same cafe not long after her call to her friends. She sets aside her drink (it looks like a smoothie) to smile at the feed.]

Since there are so many things to do here, I'd like some help narrowing it down for a day. What's been your favorite so far, or what's on your list to try? No options are off the table yet.

Thinking about it, this seems like an optimal place to get various things to decorate the ships more. If it weren't for some failsafes, I'd swear it would be so easy to get lost in this city. Maybe another day.

[Kaname reaches over and turns off the broadcast. It's not much, but it's been a while since she's addressed everyone at large. Now she simply settles back to enjoy the atmosphere and wait.]

---

[And for the rest of the time in the system, she can be found at the water park, in museums, the theater, various shopping centers, what have you. Or on the Bloodsport occasionally. Set something up if you'd like!]

ikenai

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.

Who: Mirage Jenius + you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Starduck
When: Today!

( SS Starduck )

VIDEO;
[Alright, so things have been explained. Sort of? There's a ship and a fleet and some kind of show, that much she's gathered by now. She's been several hours roaming the SS Starduck and getting to know it's general layout, in particular where the shuttles are stored and such.

Now she's getting down to communicating across the other ships, a need to test the system being her primary excuse. She's wearing a stern, no nonsense expression here.]

I have been briefed on my current status and situation. [And now maybe just a touch angrier in tone.] I don't exactly appreciate this sort of treatment but--

[Ahem. Stay focused, Mirage. Treat this like a report or something similar, anger won't do much good.
She sighs out loud.]

My name is Mirage Jenius. Currently I am stationed aboard the SS Starduck. If there are others here from the Xaos company or the Macross Elysion, please respond.

[... How do you end one of these broadcasts? Mirage's stern expression briefly falters, a moment of confusion peeking through. Observant eyes will catch the tips of her ears reddening just slightly before she rushes through the rest.]

Thank you very much. Over and out.

Who: Shiro and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: At the Blameless, if you want that option
When: Tuesday afternoon

( Closed action prompts )

3. Network Post - Video - late Tuesday afternoon

[Guess who has come back after being at home for a few days? This guy! And this time he looks relaxed, a true miracle after an update! He's at the Blameless lounge, having a hot cup of tea with his dog Procyon laying on the couch next to him, head on his lap. It seems Shiro has been shopping, there are bags on the floor and a colorful pile of sweaters on the table next to what appears to be a spaceship model of the size of a grown kitten.

But all these are details. The main thing that is going to call everyone's attention is the, uh, "sweater" he's wearing. Shiro, why? (He'll tell soon.) There's also an obvious military jacket wrapped around his shoulders - both this and the sweater are lacking the right sleeve, because going home has brought modifications for his arm. It's thicker now and it... floats. Yep. Surprise?]

Hello, Drift Fleet. It seems Atroma is making it a tradition to send me home right before the holidays and to come back to a present.

[He's smiling while saying all this, eyes on the communicator on the table but glancing at the starship model every now and then.]

If anyone has been wondering, the wish-granting tree does work. I'm not sure what I did, exactly, I tried most of the rumors. But it seems to have the same limitations that our hosts have when it comes to powers and sizes. Unless there's an universe out there where it's okay to have space battle cruisers of the size of a puppy. [He puts down his mug and stares at the "toy", concentration obvious on his face. And after a few seconds, that toy starts floating up, flying in circles around a now grinning Shiro's head, and stops at the table again... only to start transforming in a thick robot lady. How cool is that?] At least some things still work. Sorry for not being able to give anyone a ride.

[The tree granting him a wish for a ship surely has trolled him good... oh well. It's still a nice little thing, and feeling the bond at the back of his head is comforting, to say the least. He looks at the camera again for one last announcement.]

Blameless crew, whenever you have a minute, your captain has something for you. [Look at that, him referring to himself as "captain" more freely now. He pats the pile of sweaters.] It's a silly tradition, I thought it could be fun to share. Almost like an uniform. To my fellow captains, maybe you want to join us to see which crew can get the ugliest Christmas sweaters?

[Just kidding! ...maybe. Is this why he's suddenly wearing that old gift from Fie? RUN!]

Who: Alucard + You
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: SS Red Fish
When: Right now!

[ broadcast. ]

[ when alucard woke up, he saw metal and wondered briefly if he was trapped in another coffin. but clarity comes soon after and he notices the bright, strange lights. similar to the kind that reside in his father's castle but . . . better developed. smoother, even. alucard rises into the air before letting his feet touch the ground. strange as this may seem, alucard isn't one to panic. answers will come and he will find them. at the very least, this does not seem to be his father's work.

one could consider that a mercy.

after some time, alucard finally finds the communicator and manages to turn it on. people would notice immediately that he is extremely pale and handsome. they would also notice he's bare chested. when he speaks, it's polite and soft. ]

Greetings.

[ a pause as alucard wonders if it is working. still he forges on. ]

I seem to be missing a few of my clothes. Particularly my shirt. Where might I find some?

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Mingle Post for the Halloween and Drift period!
When: 10/28-11/11

It's time for a spooky candy-filled drift, Flooters! And because no Halloween is complete without a few tricks...a mini player plot! If you'd rather just have a normal mingle, feel free to ignore it and tag about as normal!

( Tricks and treats )

scalpelofmarmora

Who: Ulaz and YOU!
Broadcast: N/A
Action: various
When: Anytime while in system

Option 1: Scrapheap
[Ulaz could be found a lot of the time at the piles of junk on this planet. With so many projects to work on and a big one being Shiro's arm so that he didn't have that problem anymore, he needed a lot of supplies. Luckily he was a big guy and not likely prone to people trying to take things from him.

It seemed to be a worth while endeavor at least. He was finding a lot of things that he could use]

Option 2: Blameless
[Some of Ulaz's supplies from scavenging were squirreled away in his room because he didn't want to leave them out. Some, however, had been temporarily moved to the lounge space on the Blameless whenever he found himself with a moment.

From previous discussions with Death over on the Caprine, he had decided to try his hand at building something for Loyalty, Justice's cat. He had taken some time during the drift to read up on the tiny felines - especially since one kept coming in trying to chew on things in his lab - and he was prepared to try a solution that might keep her mildly distracted.

So he was currently seated on the floor of the lounge trying to put together pieces to make something of a "cat tree". There were also length of rope next to him and what must have been once some carpeting, but he wasn't ready for those yet.

Help him? Hinder him? Keep him company while he works? Your call!]

Option 3: Junker Racing
[He had mentioned it to only a few people since he had been here, but Ulaz had, in his youth, been quite a daredevil. Most however, didn't really know that.

But in the course of his investigations of the planet, he found the junker racing. Ah... youth. But he couldn't seem to tear himself away from watching it...]

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.]

Who: Freyja and EVERYONE
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS First Breath
When: Late August/Early September

[When the video starts, a cheery voice that might be familiar to some can be heard and she's definitely waving at the camera.]

Helloooooooo~! Guess who's back and comin' at you at the speed of light! It's me, Freyja Wion! Ehehe, sorry, I didn't mean to leave last time but things just happen sometimes, right? It's so gori gori to be back an' all 'cause it means that I get to see everyone again. I didn't even spend all that long on the Marsiva, I'm on the First Breath now! So how are y'all doin'?

[However, if you are on the First Breath, you definitely have a weird girl poking around and exploring, but if she sees someone she's going to make a point to stop them in the happiest way she can.]

Hi! I'm Freyja Wion, and I'm your crewmate!

ikenai

Who: Macross cast and anyone else
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Iskaulit - The Melting Pot
When: 8/22/18

So, a certain idol had a birthday on the 17th, but she never really keeps track of it. Sadly, it's left up to the likes of Kaname to make sure that someone knows how old the other members of Walküre are. As such, now that they're in the new system, plans have been made, things done, people invited via word of mouth.

Anyone who wants to wish Mikumo a Happy Birthday should come to the Melting Pot on the Iskaulit at 7pm tonight. Oh yeah.

Broadcast: Who knows, maybe some drunken texting later on
Action: Iskaulit Pool!
When: 3 July

[It's a party for a narcissistic redhead who likes to be reminded she's alive. Come celebrate! Alternately, come sneak in and steal the food! There's a bar set up for drinks drastically lowered to cost-price or to-be-paid-later-tab, a non-alcoholic punch in case of wandering minors (spike it and Nami will end you) and random snacks.

Oh, and a pool. Which is heated. Kind of important, that part.

Step right up, I'm reliably informed we'll have Thor with his shirt off, take pictures while you can.]
