--SYSTEM INFORMATION--

passingthrough

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Always possible one will sneak in
Action: TRASH PLANET! aka The Baruut System
When: October 2018

[When life gives you garbage, make projects of varying scopes and sizes! Site see in the lovely trash-covered vistas. Make a racing pod thing or go gambling. And remember the first rule of arena fighting is... not the face? Actually, I'm not sure if there are rules, but you can talk about it. It's pretty public anyway.

Enjoy your landfill of a system!]

necromanswers

Who: Lup & OTA
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Heron, SS First Breath (a bit), Planetside
When: today & throughout the event

( a; arrival on the Heron )

[Lup's arrival on the bridge, confetti and all, is as much a shock to her as anyone else who might witness it. For a moment, she's just quietly stunned.

And then she lets out the loudest WHOOP her lungs can muster and goes through the very strange process of experiencing the ship:
1) she does, like, seven cartwheels in every hallway
2) she just starts touching stuff. walls, consoles, cupboards, furniture. life is so tactile!
3) she finds an actual real live person and grabs their hand immediately to shake
4) she flops dramatically on the nearest bed or couch, regardless of whose it is

She does every single one of these with a huge, shit-eating grin on her face. She has a body again! Holy shit, it feels amazing! It's time to party.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE GREAT, RIGHT]

( b; First Breath )

[Her time on the First Breath is brief, and she tries to time it in a way that Taako won't be around for it, but that doesn't meant that other residents won't spot an elf sort of sneaking around the kitchen and down the hall one day. Catch her, if you can! Those who have already met Taako might notice that she looks exactly like him.

She'll be leaving a fancy new wooden spoon behind in one of the kitchen drawers before she goes.]

( c; text & voice broadcast )

this is a test, looking for some intel. I need to know two things:

1) when you read or hear these words, can you understand it, or is it just static?
2) if you experience static, is it every word, or just some?

GRAND RELIC. BUREAU OF BALANCE. PHOENIX FIRE GAUNTLET. VOIDFISH.
IPRE. LIGHT OF CREATION. HANGING ARCANEUM. THE HUNGER.

GREG FUCKING GRIMALDIS.

[She repeats the full message verbally, and then, after a pause-]

Sorry for the noise if all you get is static, spaceballs. I'm just trying to do some science.

[Weirdly enough none of that should be static for anyone- except for 1 specific person, of course. Sorry Taako.]

( d; planetside )

[Lup's priorities are thus: 1) scrap the heck out of everything useful that she can get her hands on, and 2) FIGHT ALL OF THE THINGS.

She can be found digging her way through piles of metal and parts, elbows deep into whatever might be useful. She won't touch the piles that look like actual garbage, but appliances, vehicles, decor and kitchenware- she's all in. Even if something looks broken, she gives it a considering look before adding it to her "keep" pile; after all, magic powers can fix a lot of broken stuff. Want to come and help with the dumpster diving? She seems to be an old pro at this.

She can also be found signing up for as many gambling arena tournaments as she has time and spell slots for, both the solo fights and the partnered ones, or just fighting against monsters. Are you joining the fight, too? Because she's looking for a good, tough-looking (or at least deceptively strong) scrapper to join her! Let's go punch some aliens! She's been isolated for far too long, and she's eager to give her long-dormant power a solid test-drive.]

Who: kaworu nagisa, you..!
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: the very peak of morning!

Do you think you can have more than one calling in life? I know what mine is, and I wouldn't ever betray that, and nothing could unsettle my feet from its path. Nothing could call my eyes from its horizon. But,

I'm a really good auctioneer.

krammbunctious

Who: Pseudodragon Kramm and you!
Broadcast: video
Action: Vanquish
When: Now until the end of the month of September

Video

[Hello Fleet! One of your members is currently taking up a lot less space than usual; Kramm wakes up with a tiny squeak of a yawn, Atroma having so sweetly turned the feed to catch this little winged lizard, roughly cat-sized, lift his head and sniff the air. He's black, eyes little specks of blue, the full draconic image with wings and a tail - if quite a bit smaller. He wanders over to the device, sniffing it, then pounces and starts gnawing at the corner. Fearsome piece of plastic and glowy screen! The device catches images of his little white teeth, forked tongue, and a blur of flapping wings as he growls playfully with his new toy.]

Vaquish

[For anyone on the Vanquish, you will find a tiny trouble wandering underfoot or flying above head, winding his way though piping he would never ever in any stretch of imagination be able to fit in normally.]

[Did he trip you? Steal your donut? Or maybe he's grabbed a thing you were working on and is now playing a game of Keep-A-Way!]

[[ooc: Kramm is glitched into a psuedodragon: a tiny dragon-like winged lizard that has the ability to communicate telepathically - though just with simple words, images, or emotions.]]

wakemelater

Who: Nico and OTA
Broadcast: Video
Action: Red Fish, Iskaulit
When: Now

[ Red Fish ]

[Nico is not a fan of being stuck places. Especially unfamiliar places. Most especially unfamiliar places in space. (Not that he's ever been to space.) Shadow travel won’t get him home. He doesn’t even know where home is.

He's already been whisked away from one weird ship onto another. He finds the armory easy enough, but is disappointed to see there are only guns. No swords? Thanks to his augment, he knows how to handle them, however, and he'd rather not be in a stange place with no protection. He grabs one looks it over critically before heading off to see the rest of the ship.]

[ Iskaulit ]

[And later he'll be wandering the Iskaulit, doing much the same. Mapping it out, noting any important details, and most of all, observing the people he comes across - either openly or standing in darkened corners, cloaked in shadow. (Totally not creepy.)]

[ Video ]

[Much later, squirreled away in his bunk, he turns the communication device over and over in his hand, frowning all the while. Demigods didn’t usually carry things like this around – they attracted monsters. But there weren’t any monsters here, were there? Not like back on his world.

But despite what people may think of a kid born in the ‘30s, he wasn’t completely technologically challenged. He’s already figured out how to turn it on.

Have a nice clean shot of the wall, and a voice somewhat distorted because the communicator is facing the wrong way.]

I’m guessing not everyone here is content with being kidnapped and hurled through space. So who wants to clue me in one what we’re up against and how we’re going to kick it’s butt?

[He was just starting to figure things out back home. He didn’t need more crap thrown in his face, thanks.]

moseyin

Anybody else miss having monsters around to beat the crap out of
Just somethin you can wail on until you stop feeling like you wana punch a wall

This is not a I want someone 2 fight post either Id just like stuff that deserves killing to b around to kill is all

luckyescape

Who: Freya Vaughn
Broadcast: Entire Fleet
Action: SS Heron, SS Iskaulit, maybe Marsiva
When: 14th – 21st –ish [Backdated a little.]

VIDEO | arrival | Backdated 14th

[Freya is not accustomed to waking up in strange places. Okay, that isn't completely true. She has woken up in strange places but she generally remembers how she gets there. She might be shaky and forgetful with names but sights and scents were always crystal clear. At first she smells metal, a lot of metal, and then her clothes.

When is the last time she had washed them? She opens her eyes, looking around and then closes her eyes again. When that doesn't work she shifts, wiggling a bit in the bed to moved something sharp that's stabbing her in the back. Oh! Her backpack is under her. That is not a great place for that. She wiggles again and looks a little bit like a fish on a bed.

Maybe she should get up? Yeah. Getting up sounds like a semblance of a plan; like 12% of a plan.

Freya is short and curvy. Her hair is long and messy, falling in wheat colored blond waves over her thin shoulders. She's wearing a black tank top, showing off the tattoos she has on her shoulder, arm, shoulder blade and then behind her ear. She's silent and calm for about ten minutes until a very loud voice is unknowingly broadcasted.]

Fuckerdoddledandy-

[The feed cuts.]

[Freya comes back with the video propped in her lap. She got the 411 and decides that she might as well continue to use the Skype function. It seems to be the trend, not that Freya makes a habit of following the cools kids of the space-ways. Not that Freya has ever been to space before.]

Okay, my creative swearing montage is over though it seriously needed background music like, Rocky style, Eye of the Tiger, or something.

[There is a decent pause before Freya continues again.]

So I got the details but I have a series of ridiculous questions and movie references to make. I also really want background music. If this is a TV show there should be background music. Anyone got an Ipod? I'll go as far back as a boom-box as long as it's small because, well, I'm small. I can hold up a penny for reference but I don't have one.

bi_otic

Who: Kaidan Alenko and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: SS First Breath cargo hold
When: today-ish? Whatever works

[He's sitting sideways on the weight bench in the cargo bay, easily visible by the fact that he's propped the communication up on the nearby railing. A tiny, yipping, long-haired lump of a puppy toddles occasionally in and out of frame as it chases a ball, though Kaidan is ignoring it for moment. His expression is serious as he looks at the camera.]

I wasn't sure about going out into the mist, what with all the danger signs attached. Seems like a good way to get hurt to me. But...uh...something gave me the impression that a certain someone didn't want us sticking our nose where it didn't belong.

Which...uh..[he chuckles, the sound a little sheepish and a little rueful]...meant that I had to do the opposite. I know a few of you have already been out there and mist monster aside, there's one other problem I ran into - the atmospheric pressure down there is incredible. I couldn't take my shuttle down more than half way to the surface before almost every warning light in the cockpit went off. I'm pretty sure it would crush me like a tin can if I tried, but I really didn't want to risk testing it.

I'm not an engineer, though, so I'm not sure what could be done to get around this. But if you're as curious as I am...I'm open to suggestions.

[To counterpoint this small speech, the pup jumps up on his lap in an awkward splay, dropping the ball between his knees. Kaidan can't help but crack a small smile as he pats the dog.]

Settle down. I'll play with you in a minute, ok?

[He tosses the ball across the cargo hold and the pup bounds after it]

keythatconnects

Who: Sora
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bishop
When: After the Shuffle

Hello everyone. I'm Sora. [He pauses for a moment, as he has to shove aside the urge to introduce Goofy and Donald too. They aren't here with him. He's in this by himself for now. At least there are good people here too.]

I just arrived. I was assigned to the Bishop's security team. Which, uh, I don't think they need a ton of help in that area... [I mean, have you seen the person in charge of Bishop's security?]

But I still want to make sure I do my best to help my crew! The, uh, chip in my head [He talks about it like he still isn't sure what it is or what it does or if he should be worried about it] gives me the basics I need, but any pointers you have to share would be awesome.

Any tips to survive out here in general too. Let me hear them!

thespaceopera

[It's been a while since your lovely hosts have graced the airwaves with their presence, but here they are. Carmen and Chase smile in turn with flawless teeth and an impeccable arch of their eyebrows. Carmen seems incredibly tickled-- excited, even. Her normally dulcet voice is brimming with anticipation, and her aquamarine eyes gleam in a way that is not altogether friendly.]

Good evening, dear Fleet! I hope you had a pleasant journey through that asteroid belt... or at least an unremarkable one. We wouldn't want your poor ships to get all banged up again.

[Chase cuts in with the brisk timing of a reporter, far too rehearsed to be natural.] And a big warm welcome to all the new faces. Please don’t hesitate to inform us if there is something we can do to make your stay a comfortable one.

Of course. Now, let's talk about summer. It’s the highlight of the year, at least for some. Because summer only happens once a year, and to commemorate how wonderful you've all been as guests, we're giving everyone a gift basket. While it's not an all-expenses-paid resort, we do hope you'll find a suitable place to kick back, relax, and enjoy yourselves.

Everyone will find their gift underneath their beds. If you're sleeping on someone else's ship-- oh my-- you'll want to make sure to fetch it before someone else does! I do hope you enjoy them.

[The gift baskets, which are wrapped in a cute pink ribbon, contain: this or that style of sunglasses, an extremely flimsy white beach towel, and a cloth sunglasses case.]

Now that we have your attention~ Summer is a party, but what's a party without games? One of my favorites is a little thing called kiss, marry, cliff. Essentially, someone gives you three names of people you know, and then you decide what you’d do to each person. I find it says a lot about your likes and dislikes.

Because I’m curious, here are some people who’ve caught my attention as of late: Castiel, Daryl Dixon, Shinji Ikari.

Tell me, dear Fleet: which ones would you kiss, marry, or toss off a cliff?

[Carmen ends the feed with a cold giggle.]

[ooc: What’s this? A distraction tactic, obviously! The Hosts are trying to draw attention away from the new planet for some reason…? Huh, wonder what that’s about. Feel free to respond to the F/M/K game and start your own threads below, if you’d like-- you may even get a response!]

Who: Kaworu, you!

Well,

How long can you hold your breath?

I always forget. Or, I never quite remember. Yeah, definitely the latter.

ragingbanner

Who: Bruce Banner + anyone else!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Caprine
When: June 18

[broadcast; video]

[He's managed to make the transition to the Caprine without too much difficulty, but now that's he's "settling in", Bruce is realizing just what being on a ship long term means.]

So, this is it. We just play along with this show, act like nothing is wrong, and hope we eventually get to our destination? That's optimistic. How do you manage to live on ships like this for so long? I've never- This is... it doesn't seem like a good idea.

[He smiles uneasily. He has to resist the urge to pick at his own body, making him twitch a bit. At least he hasn't had any issues so far?]

The food isn't very good either.

[Action on the SS Caprine]

[At least he's used to lab work! Bruce is relieved that is assignment is something he's familiar with (although he did manage to fly a ship once...) and he spends a good amount of time poking around at the ship's equipment, testing both what it can do and what knowledge seems to come to him, because he definitely hasn't worked on a space ship like this before. Or worked around people this casually either. Not to mention the enclosed space makes him very aware of how tight it would be if he were bigger.

That's a great thought.]

Who: Baku and you
Broadcast: yes
Action: The Caprine
When: now!

( accidental broadcast )

[later, she puts up another broadcast, only this time it's strictly voice only. She does not sound very happy]

Can a glitch keep someone from returning to their human form? Asking for a friend.

[at least her sense of humor is intact]

I guess, while I'm here - if anyone has any nightmares they'd like to get rid of, I'd be happy to eat them. It might be a power thing keeping me like this, I don't know.

[...] And yes, I'm being literal.

Thank you in advance.

willynilly

Who: Ochako & you!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Yes!!
When: Now and throughout the week

( starstruck )

[The camera clicks on to Ochako, who is in full costume for once! Sans the helmet, at least for now. It's tucked under her arm. She shuffles from foot to foot, waves, and then bows slightly.]

Hello everyone! I have a request. Would any of the fleet's engineers be able to make something for me? Like, um. Rocket-y? I heard about there being a jetpack a while back... so something like that is what I'm looking for. And if you know anybody who can do that sort of thing, please ask for me! All I know is maintenance, so I'm kinda useless when it comes to making cool gear... I can collect parts, though, if you need anything from the planet!

Oh, and I'm not asking for free! I can pay if you want money... well I don't have a lot but maybe I could pay over time? I can also cook for you and your ship, or bring my little bots over to clean, or... we can work something out!

[She pauses to think for a moment, puzzling over what she might have forgotten, and then-]

Right! The other thing! Is there anybody with super-strength who can help me practice? I want to try a few things that I can't do on my own.

Thanks, everybody!

( iskaulit )

[Ochako's in overdrive today! And all week, really. She's discovered the parkour course and is running through it, over and over, only taking small breaks between to catch her breath and get a drink. She's practicing activating and cancelling her Quirk in quick succession, using her temporary moments of weightlessness to launch herself into higher jumps over the equipment than her small legs would normally allow.

Sure, it means once in a while she loses control and faceplants spectacularly, but that's what practice is for!

When she isn't practicing, she'll be wandering around the Iskaulit, poking her head into rooms less-often visited to see what's changed, or tidying up the art therapy room she likes to visit since it's been mostly abandoned for a while now. She'll be all over at sporadic times.]

hollowvictor

Who: Panem!Bucky
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Bridge of the Wonderduck
When: Now

[The video opens with a view of Bucky's face, hair short, face scruffy and a steel determination in his expression as though challenging the very fleet to suddenly do something and prove all his paranoid assumptions correct.]

The last time I was on a show for other's entertainment, we were made to fight and kill each other until only one person was left. Supposedly that's not the case here. Yet.

I assume some of you have been making attempts to learn more about this place and the people behind it.

[A pause. 'What do you know' was on the tip of his tongue, but he was the offworlder now. He didn't hold a single damn card in his hand he knew it too well. He hated it. He'd have to change that.]

What do we know?

[Anyone on the ship itself for any reason will find Bucky at the comms station, waiting for responses and seeing exactly how far the system would allow him to hack until the firewalls caught him. Sometimes you had to test the strength of the bars when you were in a cage.]

skaterbrain

Who: Beat and all y'all
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Marsiva, SS Bishop
When: 3/23 and 3/24

( Action: Marsiva - BOOM BOOM BOOM )

Broadcast: Marsiva 3/23
[Despite being a teenager, he's from a time before smartphones and fancy cameras built into tablets. So when he starts up the communication device, he's mad that it's taken him this long to figure it out, and it shows.]

UGH FINALLY.

[He holds the device out at arm's length like he's about to take a selfie.]

Name's Beat. Who do I gotta punch t'get back home, huh? I got stuff I gotta do that ain't here in space.

( Action: SS Bishop - WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP )

krammbunctious

[Video opens to a dark screen as Kramm's face is right up in it as he tries to secure the device. After a moment he backs up enough for the screen to focus on his scaly face, a little touch of red as his forked tongue sticks out in concentration, his blue eyes screwed up as well. Once he seems happy enough with the arrangement, however, he beams with excitement and settles back to smile and wave congenially at the camera.]

Uh, hi! Hello! Kramm here, I'm new. Not, uh, used to this sort of ... thing. I think I'm reaching everyone but let's be honest, I have no idea. [He shrugs his broad shoulders. He's dressed in simple leathers, his green scalemail armor draped over the chair behind him.]

Anyway, just thought I'd give a little formal greeting. Who's been down to the planet yet? What's your favorite place? I really liked the rides until I got stuck on one for a few hours, but ... I'll probably go back tomorrow.

[There's a long awkward pause as he waits for responses, wondering if it's even gone out to anyone. He hums a little tune and taps his clawed fingers on his knees for the moment.]

onlyanapple

Who: Crowley and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Philias
When: 18th

[The feed opens to Crowley lounging (still in his full suit and tie, he's not an animal) on a deck chair in Philias. From the looks of it, he's in one of the decidedly hotter parts of it, but he doesn't seem to be affected by the heat at all- neither does his communicator, nor the pitcher of margarita he's drinking from. You could almost be forgiven that he's lounging around on a nice, summer's day and not in something approaching the temperatures of the center of the Earth.]

Now this is what I call a much more pleasant planet. More of these, less of the snow, please and thank you, Atroma. I'll even offer you guys a bribe, you know, to keep up the entertainment levels. [He flashes the camera a sharp-toothed smile.] There's a new game for you on the network, people, enjoy it and hopefully it'll buy me a couple more planets like this.

[True to his word, there's a file on the network entitled 'Simple Little Game' - within it is something reminiscent of a certain rage game. In it, a player controls a Nunnilis, sitting in a fish bowl with only a pick-axe with which to drag themselves up an increasingly difficult mountain. The controls are ridiculously difficult- too sensitive one moment, not sensitive enough the next. It's designed to be difficult, rage inducing and addictive. To make things worse, Crowley has added his own commentary to it- offering insincere words of encouragement, or the occasional quote about failure- usually when the player needs to concentrate the most.]

There's a prize for anyone who finishes it.

[If someone finishes it, their prize is literally this gif. Congrats. You won :)]
