Who: Nami and you~
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bloodsport, Space Bar
When: Now-ish?

Figures. I go take a nap for a couple weeks and lose half the crew. See, this is why you can never turn your back. [We are wry today. The Bloodsport is super quiet, and it's a little sad, but...well. She feels more for Kaname, to be honest. Nami herself will be just fine. (She wonders about Zack, though. Way, way too many bullet holes for her to feel comfortable about that.) And she's been playing catch-up on the network, so...]

We seem to be down a lot of people lately. If you've lost someone this week, come into the Space Bar. For you, drinks are on the house. And if you're new-ish, I'm Nami and I run one of the two bars on the Iskaulit. I'll give you your first half price.

For everyone else... I wanna talk glitches for a bit. Do you think the comas count as glitches? But aside from that, I'm compiling a list of the kinds of jackassery people get hit with in this Fleet. If you're comfortable talking about it, weigh in, even if you just want to leave me a note. I'm making a list.

[Not really for nefarious purposes. But it's at least useful to warn new people what kind of garbage they might suffer from during their stay.]

--------

[Aside from turning up to work for the first time in weeks at the Space Bar, Nami can be found on the Bloodsport either staring at the ship roster in bed-headed disbelief, checking in on who's left, trying not to get run over by Biri on an overjoyed rampage, and generally wondering why the hell the Atroma saw fit to gut her ship of the majority of its crew.

Seriously, what the hell.]

So, being comatose for no reason is apparently normal here. Good to know, even a little late.

That part definitely wasn't normal where I come from.

Made me think: what else is similar or different between places that steal people from where they belong?
Comas, method of getting people there, motivations, anything. If this isn't your first time in a place like this, I'd like to gather some intel. See if we can't draw some lines.

It might be nothing. But it also might be something.

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.]

mikangirl

Who: Everyone invited, everyone gatecrashing (technically you're all invited, so...)
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.]

padadin

Who: EVERYONE
Broadcast: If you want!
Action: Of course
When: 6/23 to 8/5.

[Welcome to the Yaugur System, where everyone will want to join the most important activity here:

KITE FLYING!

...what do you mean, there's something more important to do? Oh yeah, the mist. Sure, have fun with your despair hallucinations, I guess.]

mikangirl

Who: Nami and you
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Iskaulit Gardens
When: 1 July

[Video]

So in two days I'm turning ... I think it's twenty four! [Even if she looks eternally twenty, but hey, it's a good age for a cute girl to be stuck at. She can tell herself that, anyway.] And unlike last year, I'm at least stuck in a place I can celebrate it.

So barring us all getting trapped in each other's heads again, in two days' time I'm throwing a party by the Iskaulit's pool, because I'm tired of running events in the bar and this planet doesn't look like a wise choice for idiots to get drunk down below. Please come. Bring yourselves, bring a bathing suit, bring whatever. I'll set up a little mini bar and everything!

...

...also, is anyone considering exploration beneath the islands? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Gardens]

[She's been busy down here lately. Has a whole vegetable patch going and everything and her turnover is slowly getting healthier as she gets more practised at it. She never had a problem with the mikan trees, though. From seeds to saplings to-- Asteffiel helped them along right at the start, but all the same.

You can find her with a basket, gently cutting down the fruit that's ripe enough, and trying not to let her mood sink. She was never meant to be here long enough for a handful of seeds to become fully grown trees. Please offer her a distraction.]

Who: Bloodsport Crew and Visitors!

[Worst-named ship in the fleet, I swear. Unless one of you is about to turn murderous. Please don't, you won't afford Nami's cleanup bill.]

postocular

Who: Carl Grimes, a bunch of zombies, and you
Broadcast: kinda?
Action: Waystation
When: Right now

(( ooc: This is a blanket content warning for blood/gore/death. So! There are zombies ahead and you’ve found yourself on the waystation! You have two options: evacuate, or fight them off. Things of note to remember: Being bitten or scratched are the easiest ways for infection. We don’t suggest being eaten. Magic will be hit or miss depending on player preference/discretion. Characters who become zombies will be treated as in-character deaths. Standard rules apply! The event will last a total of 24 hours. Have fun, and enjoy all the undead things. If there are any questions or anything at all, feel free to pm this journal or hit me up at

skorozima. ))

[ The Fleet has been floating along its predetermined path for the past few days, getting further and further away from the Yadrolla System and toward unknown territory. Along the way, those oh-so convenient waystations continue to pop up at their usual intervals. Identical in every way to every other, boring waystation. Neat, right? There are even some of those familiar orange-skinned aliens and some human travelers milling about and generally minding their own business. It’s a good place to stretch your legs, get sodas of questionable flavor, and take those nifty new pets for a walk!

Interrupting the general peace of the waystation, a shrill siren starts, and a robotic voice comes over the intercom as well as all communication devices on the station and surrounding spacecraft, repeating a monotone message. ]

ATTENTION. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. LOCKDOWN IMMINENT. ATTENTION. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. CALMLY EVACUATE USING THE NEAREST EXIT. LOCKDOWN IMMINENT..

[ Soon, it becomes apparent to those on the waystation what the emergency is. A gaggle? A murder??? Just.. a lot of undead. They’re not in any particular hurry, shambling and stumbling along.. until they spot what looks like some good eats. That seems to get them excited, arms stretching forward, teeth gnashing, and more growling than any sort of verbal mishmash meant to be words. ~~THEY’RE NOT A WORDY PEOPLE, OKAY?~~

For those looking to escape, it’s quite easy to outrun them unless you’re not paying attention to your surroundings. Corners can be tough! Just don’t get bit or scratched and all is well, except for their incessant attempts at making you a snack. For those who haven’t come across them before, or have run into some variation of them in another world, they’re resilient up to the point of losing their head or the brain being destroyed. Limbs being broken or missing don’t seem to slow them down, just send them a little off-balance.

All they know is attack and eat.

For those of the fleet still on their ships, they gravitate around the waystation, seemingly not wanting to go anywhere. There is a short window of time from the emergency alert to the entire waystation going on lockdown. Those wishing to help evacuate can do so- but they have to be quick!

Once the lockdown is in place, communication ceases with the waystation. All the rest of the fleet can do is sit and wait, and hope for the best. The doors will re-open twenty-four hours later, once it’s clear the situation is handled and they can regroup, count their losses, and wait once again for the perished to rejoin their ranks. ]

Who: EVERYONE
Broadcast: Up to you
Action: Everywhere in the Yadrolla system!
When: 5/30

[At last, the day has come: Festival Day! Once again, the Starstrikers have taken the trophy this year. But that doesn't mean members of other teams, or those who didn't play, can't celebrate with the rest of them!

There are parties everywhere. Ribbons, streamers, and confetti litter every major street in the system. (Remember what they say about glitter...) There is food on every block, and people cramming into shops to get in on the merch.

Don't forget about the reason for the festival-- the pet adoption drive! A large playground-type area has been set up on the Starstrikers' desert moon where people can play and interact with the lovable creatures needing new homes. Whether you're looking for companionship or just something to do, there's plenty to coo over! Every pet comes with an info card listing a fanciful name and a general description of their age and temperament. Maybe Sir Pringle the puppy or Marquess Mariana the fish can become your new best friend.

Sadly, the Fleet will be drifting in about a week... but feel free to party until then!]

angelofthevored

Who: Baku (

dreamvour) & Castiel (

angelofthevored) , and all of the Fleet
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Within dreams
When: Over the span of the next two weeks

[If your character dreams, they may be visited by either Baku or Castiel within the next two weeks. They'd appear suddenly in their dream or, if no dream is available, they might pull up a neutral space for your character to ease into before talking to them.

They're not here to intrude; just to ask permission. Permission to share a memory. If your character has defenses against spiritual/psychic intrusion, they'll take that as a no and leave unless they're responded to.

If you would like your character to just experience the memory (from Castiel's perspective) without threading out the interaction, please feel free to have them acquire this knowledge. If you would like to thread with either Baku or Castiel, please indicate in the subject line if you have a preference.

NEUTRAL SPACES: White Room | Fishing Dock | Bamboo Forest

NOTE: If your character accepts the memory, they will have lingering feelings of dread, much like what people experience upon death revival/tampering with the augment.]

mikangirl

Who: Space Bar staff and special guests
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Space Bar!
When: One fine night after closing

[The Space Bar staff made good use of the ever-replenishing alcohol supply at their last stop, and Nami and Remy got around to discussing the idea of testing various experimental mixes to come up with new additions for the menu. I mean, add to that Nami hasn't made a decision which one of the applicants should take the main bar job, so clearly the best idea is to shove them all into one place and ply them with alcohol while they talk to each other and work it out after that.

No, it's a good idea. Shut up.

...okay. It may just be a good excuse for a party. Sue her.]

((ooc: this is a mingle! It's open to job applicants and regulars who hold their liquor and their plus ones. If you think that might mean you, you're more than welcome here!))

mikangirl

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Space Bar mostly, elsewhere if you like
When: Now

[She's put this off for weeks now in the vain hope that Fenris would suddenly turn back up one day, grumpy as usual. Some people only vanish briefly, don't they? But there's only so many double shifts she can pull, and while they've been welcome in the order of not thinking about various things (this place, all those deaths, her death, and oh Luceti, that's an interesting one) there comes a point where you both (a) have to acknowledge you're in denial and (b) fall asleep in the shuttle bay before you ever leave the Iskaulit.

Damn you, Fenris. It's not going to be the same without you. This is your friend's bar.]

I guess it's that time of year again. The Space Bar needs new staff! I'm looking for someone with decent bartending experience or just someone who's really fast at learning. Pay's good, so if you'd like an extra source of credits for work you choose to be doing, hit me up. I'm also looking for one or two people who'd be willing to act as relief staff, because this place does a number on reliability at the best of times.

[Like when its proprietor vanishes completely for a month, that was fun.]

....

....also, tell me if you've found a favourite food or drink on this planet. I'm restocking, it benefits everyone if I can have on hand what people enjoy the most.

[Catch her at the bar on shift. Or catching a nap in inconvenient places. Or just on the Bloodsport. Wherever.]

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: Yes
Action: N/A
When: Now

[putting his voice on this thing is...not preferable, but this has to get out to everyone to be even half as effective as aizawa would like it to be. so time to get over it.]

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

One: length of time you've been here.

Two: whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

Three: something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

Four: something you miss most desperately from home. No 'family or friends' here, please. Material objects only.

Thanks.

Who: Nami and you!
Broadcast: Yep
Action: Nariba Relia / Iskaulit
When: March 18th

A - Shopping!

[Yes, the place is disturbing. But she doesn't think the food is poisonous, and there's just too much variety here to pass up. Find Nami weaving her way in and out of the fresh produce shops, stuffing her backpack and a couple of baskets full of fresh fruit and vegetables to back up to the Bloodsport. Following in her wake is Biri, also known as a giant peacock duck hybrid chocobo wannabe, and she has no qualms about loading him up with her bags. She also raids the gardening stores when she finally comes across them of any seeds that look viable.]

B - Wavering!

[To make up for using Biri as a pack mule, she finds the nearest lake. It's probably a fair distance out of town, but other explorers might come upon the sight of a girl in a bikini flying across the water on what honestly looks to be a jetski made out of a rowboat. It's going at least as fast as one, anyway. Biri's out here, stretching his wings, a yellow blur of a bird keeping up as they tear around the lake. It's all in the name of freedom and having fun and not thinking about things.

...is that bird giving off sparks?]

[Video]

[You could be forgiven for thinking Nami isn't taking this place seriously and instead treating it like a vacation spot. Well, yes and no. She has her reasons.]

So what do you think the chances are that this place was constructed as a beginning to colonize this planet, but then the people evacuated? Something went wrong, or some disaster happened, or whoever was in charge of the money decided it just wasn't viable.

I think the food is okay. I'm going to take advantage and get us a lot more variety of fruit and vegetables growing in the gardens. If you're up for a project and aren't too nervous about it, I'd appreciate some help. Just as long as everything we grow doesn't taste like citrus, I guess.

[She hopes. Her favourite fruit is mikan, but that doesn't mean she wants everything to taste like mikan.]

...speaking of which, picked up some liquor for people willing to give it a try. It also tastes a little like oranges, but it'll knock you for a six. Best of both worlds. Catch it at your local Space Bar.

--------

[Apart from the above options, you can also find her plotting out the beginnings of said vegetable garden, or serving at the Space Bar. Or anywhere else you can think of. Wild card me up.]

Who: Kaname Buccaneer & Whomever
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Bloodsport / Iskaulit
When: Broadcast, 3/5 morning / Action, until the 9th

[March 5, Video/Text]

[This time the video is very brief. Kaname smiles at the camera with Q-Lulu positioned in front of it. She looks at the mercat and opens her mouth before suddenly stopping, smile leaving her face. There's another moment before she reaches over and turns off the feed, expression troubled.

A few minutes later, a text message appears.]

People have had strange things happen to them here, right? Sudden changes. How long do those usually last? [Another moment follows, then another question.] Has anything not gone back to normal?

[Bloodsport and Iskaulit, Until the 9th]

[Following that, for the rest of the week, Kaname will be going about her usual routines. However, anyone who runs into her may notice she more withdrawn and not singing at all. Running, dancing, working out, grabbing a bite, the singer is solo for all of these.]

mikangirl

Who: Nami and you
Broadcast: Yep
Action: Bloodsport / Space Bar, Iskaulit
When: Now-ish

[Nami sleeps in an hour past the start of her shift at the Space Bar because the Atroma have always had such excellent timing. When she finally blinks awake, all icy sweat and teary-eyed, she spends a good few minutes slowly convincing herself it was just a bad dream, not actual, y'know, memories, which is a pretense that lasts all the way until she sits up and catches sight of herself in the mirror.

Welp.

There's no definites, on either side. That's something to think about. She checks the time and date on her comm, realises she's only lost an extra half day, and pings the bar staff on duty to let them know she's running late. She can have her depressing existential crisis later. Runs through the shower and skids out into the cargo bay with her hair still damp and her backpack over her shoulder and--

And--????

There's a giant thing staggering around in here with yellow feathers sticking out awkwardly from the most godawful wrapping paper she's ever seen--]

[Indignant Video]

Hey! [This here's a redhead with a lot more hair this morning, looking pissed.] Who the hell left the giant bird in our cargo bay? You can't just wrap a living creature in that much--

KWAAA!?

[She breaks off, startled, to glance over her shoulder at the crackling sound and sudden rumbling of something heading this way. ~~It's a wildebeest herd~~ And then has just enough time for a shriek before the comm goes flying , which means maybe all you get after that is a blur of yellow feathers and pink flamingo wrapping paper that's on fire (who giftwrapped the electric bird seriously) and a whole lot of joyful bird sounds who just ran over his favourite navigator sort of accidentally, but that's Biri for you. JFC, bird.

Muffled and in the distance, after a few moments--]

...never mind. I'm gonna be later.

[She recognises him now the wrapping paper has kind of burnt to ash, that's for sure. Ow.]

-------

[She will eventually get to the Space Bar with all due apologies, so you can catch up with her there. Or order a drink. She's in a better mood than when she woke up, at least. Giant idiot birds will do that to you. Even if they singe your hair a little at the same time.]

livesfastdiesung

Who: Kaname, Freyja, and YOU
Broadcast: Yep!
Action: Sure, if they're by the Bloodsport wreckage on the hellplanet.
When: The 1st

[When the video opens, Kaname and Freyja are both visible, sitting next to each other and they look kinda scratched up and generally not in the best of shape (though not really terribly off, either.) Freyja waves energetically at everyone before actually saying something.]

Hoina! Eheh, so, Kaname-san and I wanna let everyone know somethin' we found out 'cause it could be useful, especially if you're down here.

[Kaname nods, a small smile on her face.] The short version is we're singers back home, and our voices can have an effect on different things. We weren't sure how that would play out here at first, but we've found they do work against the Vieziri. When confronted, they're stalled or severely slowed. Right now, we don't have an estimate on how long it holds them for, but it's likely it would be enough time to gain some distance if it came to that.

[And then Freyja interjects again, with another wave at the camera.] Soooooooo, if you need any help, you should ask! 'Cause we might be able to do somethin' about it, especially if the Vieziri keep comin' after you. We'll do our best to help anyone that needs it.

[And she looks thoughtful for a second.] Ehh... there was somethin' else too, wasn't there?

[The older singer chuckles and pats her shoulder.] Additionally, it's stronger with the two of us together, since we amplify each other's voices, even if one of us will do in a pinch. Please don't hesitate to ask if you'd like some company on a scavenging trip. Please note, we're no substitute for anyone with actual combat skills, so do be safe in that regard as well.

And yes, there is. [Kaname can't help but shake her head a little in amusement.] Once everything here is taken care and we're back in orbit, we'd like to consult with an engineer about hopefully building us some equipment similar to what we use back home. You will be compensated for your time, of course.

Mmhm! We can describe it and everything if that's what you're gonna need. It can wait, but we wanted to ask anyway just in case! It'd help us protect ourselves if we ever had to go in a fight. [So with that, Freyja shrugs. That mostly covers what they needed to say right now.] Sooo, just let us know, okay? We're listenin', promise! [And then, in true Walkure fashion, she throws the Walkure gangsign.]

[There's a final nod from Kaname and an accompanying W before she leans forward to turn off the camera.]
