Who: YOU! And Sascha...kind of.
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Various places
When: now!

Bloodsport )

Iskaulit + Other ships

[ There's an immense feeling of discord that comes from waking with the thoughts and memories of someone you've never been as though you were placed on top of an already considerably sizable amount. It's kind of like waking up one day and suddenly remembering hundreds upon hundreds of lives you've never actually lived even though it feels like you have. The creature that would be Sascha is experiencing that now: he knows the Fleet and doesn't. He's met the strange humans and mutants and others here, but hasn't. He can remember that each evening Sascha wakes he hops from ship to ship to check on certain individuals--a habit he breaks immediately when he heads to the Iskaulit instead after scoping out the Bloodsport.

It's irritating. Strange. He's not sure what he'd expected to happen once he had given into hunger and desperation and devoured himself all those years ago...but it certainly wasn't this. To remember who and what he is, why Sascha's never known any of that, and why he now chooses to keep more to himself than seek out his 'usuals.'

And of course by keeping to himself, I mean he's been straying downwind of the fox area, silently staring and stalking as he debates the point of hunting any of them when he knows it will do nothing to abate his hunger. The same goes for the others aboard the Iskaulit...they make for a much more tempting meal.

Heck, so does everyone else aboard the Atroma's fleet. So if your character happens to be unlucky enough to be wandering alone at this late hour they might just get the sense of being followed. Or hunted, depending on how good that sixth sense is.

Or you could just run into him on the Iskaulit being aloof and creepy. That works too. ]




[ ooc; for those not on my plurk SASCHA IS AUGMENT GLITCHING BACK THE MEMORIES AND PERSONALITY HE USED TO HAVE before he actually became "Sascha." Which means he's old and tired and he eats humans in his spare time so clearly this means you should come on by.

feel free to hit me up on plurk @ owlits/PM me if you wanna plot anything! ]

Who: Qing and whoever!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide video/audio/text
Action: Caprine, possibly Iskaulit!
When: Some nebulous time after he gets his gift from the Tree

[There's an unusual sight on the comms today, though most people might not realise just how unusual it is. Qing is often - almost always - smiling, but there's a hinted quality of manufacture to it normally. A small change, but nonetheless.

His smile is much softer, genuine. Beside him sits a small machine, settled onto a table off to one side. It's white, with an arm that rests over the table studiously, a long rod with a needle attached to it holding steady just below the arm.]


It seems I've finally gotten the sewing machine I'd been looking for previously. Ah... if anyone would like something made, I can now do so much more quickly. Once we have fabric, of course. Um... and payment can be figured out when you tell me what you want.

[For people used to the confident way he speaks in a professional manner, this might sound a little odd. Oh well.]

LATER. Private message to Makie

I am sorry it's taken so long, but I've finished with your kimono! You can pick it up anytime, or I can bring it to you. Whichever works best for you.

+ boa constrictor

deliver to: lt wrath, windrose



[Audio]

[She doesn’t quite know how bad she looks, but she knows how bad she feels. There is no way the people in the fleet need to see this. So it’s audio only. Wrath’s words slur faintly, like someone who is profoundly tired rather than drunk. Chems do that to her.]

Hey everyone. Um. I had an accident and I’m gonna be… down for a little while. I know I wanted to do a coffee thing for all my brother soldiers but… that’s gonna have to wait. Til I’m on my feet again. Really sorry, guys. But it’ll happen. Just a little later.

Anyway like last time I was in traction I just ordered pizza and strippers, but I tried to do that here and it doesn’t work? And there’s no pudding or nurses. So I’m kind of super bored since I can’t move around right now. So anyone want to like… watch vids or play games or something? I could maybe figure out how to do chess on the network. Or ask someone for help. Or tell stories. Or like. Visitors would be nice? Yeah.

Officer Snuggles says hi, everyone. [The fox yips.] And. Um. Bye~

[for once, Zhas is not wearing a full face of skull makeup.

so for all intents and purposes, this looks like a video feed of a pretty normal guy propping up his communicator on something so that he doesn't have to hold it. as he steps back, his eyes go a little glowy in the dim light of the Red Fish's cargo bay--but that's not the focus, here.

his expression stays blank, but he brings his hands up to sign, in very clear ASL:]

Who: Sam Winchester
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Red Fish
When: Today-ish

[Sam's currently taking the time to heal after certain people we shall not name shot him in the arm; it's all good, it's all good. Pop some pain meds, keep the arm from getting worked too hard, it's going great. But now that he can't go do some work down on the moon, he's a bit more restless. Maybe he should tell Katie about his arm, have her work a little magic mojo...? Or should he just. Not tell the small child that someone shot him in the arm. Anyway.

He takes some time to voice some internal stuff. It was mostly spawned by Nightingale, and he can't help but speak up; it's utterly bizarre, he thinks, that he does that now. Speak up. He's still shitty at it, like, 60% of the time, but every percent counts. He compares it to the guy who was dying in a chapel not so long ago, and really, the amount of worth he's found in himself compared to then is staggering when he thinks about it.

Things change. He feels like he's been changing at a vicious pace for the last eleven years. But is that so surprising? Considering the friggin' circumstances, he supposes it only makes sense.]


Someone here asked me how to think positive.

More than that, how to be positive about yourself. And honestly? That's a work in progress. Don't get me wrong, you're talking to a hypocrite if I go... chiding you on healthy outlooks. But you know, someone from another world gave me a task, back when I was low — I mean, really low. She said... Even if it's only once a week, once a month, you should stop and remind yourself of something positive — about yourself. Some good thing you do, or some skill you have. Something that makes you you. Strengths. Foundations for others to work off of. Or hey, maybe you just like the way your nose looks.

If's kind of important, isn't it? Feeling like you're worth something in some way. I'd argue it's kind of a survival technique, right? Believing in your capabilities, they kind of help you get through rough situations. Help you be a better person, or contribute in a way that makes you feel like an important puzzle piece.

[He sweeps his hands though the air, palm-up, simply gestures that come with conversation. One arm is less lively than the other.]

And yeah, I can already hear some of you, telling me to pipe down on the armchair psychology, can it with the talk show advice. Kind of sappy, right? But I mean — hear me out, huh? Humor me.

What's something you guys like about yourselves?

...



And if you give some creepy, flippant, or otherwise wise-ass reply for some chuckles, we get it. You like how edgy you are.

Who: The SS Caprine, any visitors at the time, and that loud, pink equid from a couple hours ago
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The Caprine's bridge.
When: A couple hours after this post.

[Well, that sure was a thing. Luckily there were quite a few nice, friendly faces to help Pinkie out with that initial panic, even a familiar one she hadn't seen in a while.

That took up a good bit of her time, but after wandering around and looking at all the new shiny stuff, trying (and failing) to test that augment thing of hers on the few maintenance bots milling about, sampling the cafeteria's salad and dessert menus (hey, apparently synthetic Black Forest cake's not TOO bad), and harmonizing with the muzak, the poor thing was running out of stuff to do, and there's no one to talk to. Frankly, she was starting to get a little bored.

She flops against the table with a sigh.]


Hope I'm not here TOO long; it's kinda lonely...

[Sounds like somebody heard her, because soon there's a robotic voice announcing that she report to the SS Caprine. Soon followed by a REALLY weird tingly feeling throughout her whole body.]

Whoa, wha wha WHAAAA--

[And ENERGIZE! A second or two more, and she plops back into reality.]

--AAA oh hey it's over!

[And in a totally different place, soon to be greeted by music, dessert, and- professionally speaking- some nice quality confetti. And maybe some greetings from her new crew mates, if you're so inclined.]

When: Night of the party

[During the party, Takeshi makes a very important announcement — while dressed in his very snazzy suit of course.

Glasses count as a mask, right? Right. Just ask Superman.]




[There's a roar of activity around him, and everyone looks like GIANT HUMANOID TREES all around him because he's a goddamn shorty.]

Hi, guys!

I heard people got... dates for the party — but I was worried that some people were kinda shy or they missed getting a date. But it's okay! I decided I was gonna help everyone, 'cus everyone deserves to have a good time and get to have a date to dance with and stuff! I'm not a real good dancer... cus I'm... real short... But!!!

But everyone that doesn't got a date...

[He poses, flexing his arms.]

I'll be everybody's date!!

That's like the buddy system, right? I was told the buddy system's important. Friends can be dates! And I'm everyone's friend, because we're all on a team together... I can't drink beer for probably another bajillion years when I'm really old, and I'm not allowed to get any for my dates like a gentleman 'cus they turned me around and walked me away when I tried, but....

I can get you some cheese snacks!

... And I can open the door for you. And we can play Go Fish.

[But I don't want any girlfriends, okay! I still got a lot to think about before I can have girlfriends.

Sorry to be such a heartbreaker, duh.]

Who: Makie and you?
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Windrose
When: 27th April.

[It's her first time on the network since she got here months ago.  She's not much for being sociable, but hey.  Makie has a couple of needs to be met.]

I'm looking to hire a seamstress.  If you have experience with Japanese attire, that would be better, but I can provide my own clothing for reference.  [She's from the 18th century and there's a distinct dearth of kimono out here in the middle of space, okay.  Her one outfit can only go so far and it's already had to survive one dimensional hellhole.]

I'm also curious as to whether there are any swordsmiths or equivalent among us.  If so, I'd like to discuss a commission.

Thank you.

---------

[Speaking of said kimono, it's washing day.  She's clad only in the patterned red hiyoku usually worn under her purple kimono, and while she washes it in the privacy of the bathroom by hand, she can be found hanging it out to try in the cargo bay.  It's not as voluminous as some as her sleeves are kept very short, but it's nice to have the extra space.  Makie will stay nearby, looking hopefully for any answers on the network and drinking her tea.  As always.]

[The night has finally come--the Gravity Rush is nearly upon us! What normally serves as a large performance hall has been gutted, emptied of its boring furniture and rigged up into a fantastical mismatch of technology and old culture. No matter where you go tonight, you're encouraged to move around, dance, play games, whatever helps you sleep in late tomorrow morning.

If you aren't one for scurrying around a ballroom all night, there's always plenty of people-watching to do. After all, so many people are wearing extravagant costumes and elaborate masks. How can you even tell who is who? Get lost in a crowd of sequins, chatter with a sun and a moon, or try to beat the guy in the monster-mask at a game of cards. Meet your friends or make some new ones--this masquerade party has begun!]

[The bunks are filling up, but the new faces just keep appearing!

Are you a travel-weary passenger having trouble keeping your crew roster straight? Perhaps you are a fresh new recruit, finding themselves dumped into a new (and much less shiny) home. Or, maybe you've been around for a little bit and just haven't bothered meeting the other weirdos on this ship yet--what is their problem, anyway?

Well, this is the place for you!

All new passengers from the last few Shuffles, especially those who haven't met their crews yet, are welcome to post starter-comments here to invite those living on and visiting your ship to come and interact. Newbies could be just arriving on the ship, busying around where others can find them, or you can offering multiple options for interaction--however you'd like to set up your thread is fine. Just make sure to include the name of your ship in the header, so your crewmates can easily find you!

Everyone else-- go meet those newbies! Whether they are new to your own crew, or on ships you frequently visit, now is a great time to bump into them.]

a year really flies by in the fleet, doesn't it? we've been attacked twice, we've seen everything from medieval villages to virtual-reality domes, and we've seen a lot of passengers come and go. the whole thing's really incredible. but i know i wouldn't trade this experience for anything, not with the people i've met and the things i've been able to do.

happy anniversary to me, i guess. from what i hear, there are way worse places to be stuck.

[On today's episode of the Drift Fleet:

The cargo holds are full of mysterious crates! The crews are filling beyond capacity with new faces! Official alerts are informing the passengers that they are signed to contracts that they've never agreed to! They are docking at the dazzling FS Starlight, but are flat broke!

What are they going to do!? Stay tuned to find out!


...Meaning, this is a kickoff mingle for you all to enjoy the beginning of the latest plot setting. This is a convenient place to start threads relating to the first week of the event-- meeting new crewmembers, reacting to the mysterious cargo, arriving on the station and discovering that you're all broke, etc.
