Who: Ai Ebihara and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Heron if you want to.
When: February 10th

[Have one sulky looking blond on you screens. Arms crossed, mouth pouty, and her cheeks puffed a little not doing much to hide that fact. Well no one said this situation was ideal, and she’s definitely feeling that.]

So it’s been three days and I’ve been mostly keeping quiet, I mean what’s the chance that anyone from home is even here? [Someone doesn’t think it’s likely she got lucky and knows anyone here.] But I guess if anyone from Inaba is here, could you maybe say hello? Yu if you’re here I’d like to hear from you. I could use a little normal.

[Her head shifts and her features take on a slightly more snotty look.]

And if you’ve seen him - silver bowl cut, handsome face, incredibly nice by all accounts, I’d appreciate it if you let me know.

[And the message ends there without so much as a thank you or a sign off.]

airraid

Who: ~~some asshole~~ joker.
Broadcast: video; fleetwide.
Action: the marsiva.
When: RIGHT NOW.

( BROADCAST ♦ if this is a hangover, i gotta stop drinking. )

( oh. this is – this is bad.

it takes him a second – maybe two, maybe more than that – to knock the fuzz out of his head ( and to realize that, at some point during his slumber, his hat had fallen off into the floor ), and sit upright on his cot, surveying his surroundings with the kind of scrutiny that comes from one too many nights spent trying to drink a krogan under the table and losing. normally, when he passes out drunk he wakes up in the same place he'd gone to sleep in or, at the very least, some universally familiar place that he can track from where he'd started.

this is neither of those things. and he's not all that happy about it.

it takes one look out those giant, crystal clear windows for him to come to the conclusion that yes, he's still in space, but no, he is most certainly not on the normandy, and you know what one thing has to happen for this one to lose his cool? take him away from his ship. and his commander. and –

he's so miffed and angry about this situation that he fumbles with his comm unit for a second – this isn't an omni-tool, what the hell!? – and while you all might have been watching from the very beginning, the audience is about to get a face full of beard and green eyes. ) Okay. I don't know what's going on here, but whoever's behind this has about two seconds before I –

( joker. you don't have anything you can possibly hope to threaten anyone with. a point which is made abundantly clear when he briefly checks his person and finds not only is he lacking his alliance uniform, he's lacking in pretty much everything. there's a small stretch of silence, and he huffs, decides to try again. )

Never mind, I'll let you ruminate on what I'm gonna do. Makes for a better threat that way. ( s i g h. you know, somewhere, shepard is thinking this is a riot, and who let you out of the cockpit, huh? ) Anyway –

Somebody wanna clue me in on where I am? 'Cause last time I checked, the Normandy doesn't have anything like this – ( waving an arm emphatically to encompass his surroundings, mhm ) – and I know my lady inside and out. This ain't her.

( an even smaller stretch of silence, and he drums fingers against his thigh when no immediate answer comes. ) Uh, I'm waiting. I don't know about you guys, but some of us have a war to get back to.

( ACTION ♦ at least this isn't watching buttons flash. )

( you know. just in case you want to run into him after he's squawked angrily at the network, had some time to cool down and is now meandering about the hospitality deck. checking things out. looking at the screens, out the windows … and basically being a grumpy piece of trash because he misses his ship. and shep.

he isn't in ship-shep shape.

this is a disaster. )

Who: Yosuke and YOU!!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Ice Planet
When: Broadcast: 12/13 || Action: The entire time we're here!

► [ video ]

[ Yosuke's standing just along the outskirts of one of the settlements planetside. He's dressed as warmly as he can manage, but more importantly... that's a snowball in his hand. And a grin on his face - one that's more mischievous than anything. Oh boy. ]

Yo! I was thinking... I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty okay with the idea of getting out of the ships and stretching my legs a little, no matter how cold it is. Besides, you know how many awesome things you can do in the snow? A lot. And you know what one of the better things you can do is? Snowball fights.

I seriously want to set up a bunch of 'em. Maybe we can make it into a regular thing so long as we're here? Anyway, they don't all have to be the same set-up, either. We can do teams - crew versus crew, or just friends - or an all-out free-for-all... Hell, we could probably come up with something like flags to capture! So, c'mon, who's in?

I should be pretty easy to find. If you're interested, let's do this!

(( OoC: Come get into a snowball fight and bring your friends! Threadhopping encouraged! Party hard! If you wanna cut to the chase, just assume we talked about it and start up an action thread! Everyone should totally just hit each other with snowballs!! ))

Who: Any of the SS Starstruck Crew + Visitors
Broadcast: nah, unless you really want that
Action: Anywhere on board the SS Starstruck
When: 11/24, onward!

[ Oh look, it's a mingle!

Check it out - the ship sure is a lot shinier now, huh? So, did we all get shut up in The Marsiva and do all that crazy crap just so they could give us some glittery, sparkly things? Hmmm...

New crew members - welcome aboard! This is a good chance to meet everyone, now that we're back in one place. Any visitors - make yourselves at home! Have a look around. Stick around as long as you like.

After what everyone just went through, surely everyone's got at least a little something to talk about, huh? ]

kotatsu

Who: Nanako Dojima
Broadcast: video (fleetwide)
Action: Marsiva
When: Oct. 29th, before bedtime

[ it's late and nanako can't sleep. it's been hard to since she woke up on the hospitality deck, and she'd spent a lot of time wandering around to try and get her bearings. she was scared and confused (still is, if she's being honest with herself), but this isn't the tv world and there's no dark shadows waiting to grab her without a moment's notice. this is at least a little better than that.

but back to the present. there's a young girl on the video feed with dark circles around her eyes, but she tries a brief smile anyway. ]

Um... hello, my name is Nanako Dojima and I'm new here. I'm sorry for not saying anything sooner.

[ doesn't that introduction sound a little familiar? maybe. ]

I've read some of the stuff on this... [ internet? network? ] network? So, I kind of know what's going on. But I have a question and if you have time, maybe you can help me?

[ she takes a deeper breath, mustering up the courage to continue. ]

At school, I read a book about a brother and a sister who went to live with a family friend because their parents had to go to war. One day, when they were playing hide and seek, they found a closet in the attic that took them to a magical world where animals could talk. They stayed there for a long time, until they became grown ups. When they decided to back through the closet, they turned back into kids again and it's like they never left at all.

So, I was wondering if this is like the story I read. Will my Dad know that I'm not at home right now? When we find our way back, will it be like I never left? He's a detective and works really late most of the time, so I don't want him to worry about me.

But, um, thank you for listening... Oh! I was assigned to the SS Three Twins! It's nice to meet you and I'll do my best in lab support.

Who: Rapunzel & YOU
Broadcast: Video
Action: Y for Three Twins
When: Thursday, October 8

[ VIDEO ]

[ rapunzel appears on the video feed looking very DETERMINED. she has that look in her eye, that there is work to be done, and she is going to make sure it happens! she means business.

business pertaining to only the most serious and essential of matters, of course. ]

Good afternoon, everyone! If I may have your attention please. Do you have a musical talent that you have been YEARNING to stretch for months? Or maybe you are itching to learn how to play or sing and express yourself through the undeniable power of song!

[ she emphasizes this with a dramatic flourish of her arms. ] So! I was wondering if anyone out there in the fleet would be interested in joining a musical group with me and Steven! You don't have to have an instrument. You don't even need to know how to play! You just need a desire to create a song from the heart. We could even use spare parts from our ships to make new instruments! Doesn't that sound fun?

[ it sounds fun. you know it does. ]

Aside from that...I've also been wondering about starting a garden. I know it probably sounds silly, because - space! But I've always wanted to start one, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone had any ideas.

Thank you, and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

[ yes, even you! rapunzel waves cheerily at the camera before the feed ends. ]

[ ACTION ]

[ for those aboard the s.s. three twins, or those visiting, rapunzel can be found in the kitchen, singing while she cooks. she's feeling particularly adventurous today, trying out new and unusual combinations of pastes and dried food and other strange spices she picked up on the moon.

taste-testing guinea pigs welcome! ]

mucked

Who: Peggy Carter + OPEN
Broadcast: video
Action: s.s. starstruck
When: mid-morning

[ ah, tea. however-bloody-many leagues into deep space and there's still provision for tea. nearly two months on, and she can at least depend upon leaves steeped in hot water as some sort of intergalactic lingua franca. cheers the soul, really. it isn't perfectly like her preferred cuppa on earth, but it suffices. and so this morning finds her sitting within arm's reach of the starstruck's comms, while her fingers wrap around a mug of that precious brew. ]

-- The battle that happened before we came across the planet. Is that a common occurrence? Bouts of cackhanded shooting, followed by the fortuitous retreat of our opponents. [ to be fair, she doesn't really know if it was all bad shooting. she's no expert in space-warfare. everything looks a little cackhanded when there's no ground to anchor your view. and let's not begin to count all the things she doesn't know about nebulas. more importantly: ] How often does the fleet come under enemy fire? Can they even be called proper enemies? Can anyone explain why were being shot at?

[ she's still new here, and she craves answers. but even she can hear that grinding note of too much tension in her voice. she knows it's time ease off the throttle. peggy takes a long (savoured) sip of tea and regains a measure of her own composure. ] Heavens, but it'd be nice if these godawful food pastes could be slapped together in a combination that even slightly resembled a Garibaldi. Tea isn't tea without a biscuit.

thespaceopera

[The nebulas are beautiful in this region of space, at the very least. They gleam as great distorting clouds of space-stuff that your scanners don't even want to attempt to analyze. They affect the ships' instruments much like other areas of disruption have in the past, but these are actually visible as large swathes of light--like giant flames frozen in their swirling shapes, suspended across impressive stretches of space. For once, there's something like scenery to look at, out here in the black...

And then, the proximity alarms begin to blare.

From a gap between the two nearest clouds comes an assemblage of ships! Familiar to some and new to others--they do not respond to hails or communications of any kind, and they're gunning straight for the Fleet without slowing. Their weapons are locking on and firing as soon as they are in range.

Many passengers have been through this before, and many of the ships are bigger and better than they'd been in the previous skirmish. Today, the Drift Fleet will put up a better fight, even punch a few holes in their attackers.

Your augment knows where you need to go! Do you run to your station? Do you dodge your job? Are you unsure how to help? Are the captains giving orders or panicking, and are their crews paying attention? Everyone's got a chance to fight back before the enemy fleet runs them into the nearest nebula--and things suddenly take a bad turn.

As soon as each Drift Fleet ship hits the nebula, its systems overload and short-circuit before going dead. It stays silent for minutes, no radar, no comms, no network. Stubborn stragglers are ganged up on and forced into the cloud, followed by the poor ships on autopilot being bodily hauled into the nebula with tractor beams. Once the entire Fleet has been set adrift as sitting ducks, before the Marsiva can get too close, the attacking fleet... turns and flees through the cloud, seemingly untouched by the nebula that scrambles your ships.

Eventually, the systems flicker back to life, blinking on one by one. It will be several hours before any other effects of the attack will be noticeable. The network shows up as live again, but Atroma never shows up to explain a thing...]

ooc: the out-of-character event post is over here! respond to this post any way you like; you can have action, comm messages, play during the attack, being stuck in the nebula, checking in after the network comes back online, or whatever else seems fitting.

Who: Stiles Stilinski & everyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: SS Starstruck
When: Now!

so we're supposed to be on some reality show, right?
you think there's a chance that the folks back home are actually tuning in to this?
i mean, the answer is a resounding "definitely no," but i mean, i figure it can't hurt.
scott, dude, if you're reading this: i'm sorry. like, really sorry. we should talk.

also i kind of wonder if this was what having a livejournal was like.
pretty sure this is what having a livejournal was like.
(shut up, i'm a teenager, being vague and dramatic is my right.)

Hey. You busy?

huaaaaagh

Who: Kazuto Kirigaya and [insert your name here]
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Today / Sept 4

[Waking up in unfamiliar surroundings is not new for Kazuto, but in the past it's been quite a different experience. It's not an MMO this time, which is what catches him off guard the most. He can tell immediately, even with a simple glance around- the world is too real, too detailed. (Just in case, he tests a few menu-summoning gestures, but no dice.)

Waking up in a hospital-eque area makes him think that something went wrong with his last MMO dive, but that isn't right. He clearly remembers being safe and healthy the night before- they'd checked him out at the hospital before he'd gone to Sinon's. So... what? A kidnapping? Some kind of experiment? Something about this place doesn't feel right, and there's information slowly filtering into his head that doesn't make much sense.

And then he goes and looks out a window. Yikes.

He spends some time wandering, quietly observing, though there isn't really anyone to observe- computers, broadcasts, machines, yes, but people? The place is pretty deserted. It's eerie and uncomfortable, and he gets totally lost before long. Finally, though, he puts to use the knowledge of the broadcast system that is inexplicably in his head now, typing out a message.]

Is anyone out there available to answer some questions? I don't understand what's happened to me.

[Yep, that sure is a message. Which... is probably gibberish to anyone who doesn't read Japanese. Someone should probably let him know about the auto-translate not working on text.]

Who: Yosuke Hanamura and YOU!!
Broadcast: Sure if you want??
Action: On The SS Starstruck - any crew and visitors, all month!
When: Anytime in August, honestly!

[ Hey look, it's a mingle thread! If you happen to be on the SS Starstruck - visiting or crew, whatever! - then feel free to pop in with whatever you're up to.

Wanna comment on the racing ships zooming by? Go for it.

Wanna see what your fellow crewmates are up to? Play some cards, have some fun, shoot the breeze? By all means.

Wanna swing by and make fun of Yosuke, as he wonders how the hell he's a captain and what the hell he's supposed to do now and oh dear God?? ... Yeah that's cool too. ]

thespaceopera

[After weeks of relative silence, our intrepid passengers finally travel within visual range of a blue planet. Marsiva's slow-and-steady course makes it clear that this is the Drift Fleet's next destination--but just as your ships come within scanning range and your computers begin to gather data, a fleet of quick little watchdog ships zip out of the planet's atmosphere, heading straight for you!

They do not swoop in for an attack, but hold their positions between you and the planet. They look close enough to cause some trouble, and any working Communications Officer can tell you that they have weapons locked on the Fleet in warning.

The tell-tale sound of an incoming hailing frequency chimes over your ship's alert system. Someone would like you to pick up the phone. Thanks to their augment, all passengers instinctively know that they'll be looking for the Captain or the Communications Officer of the ship--but no one says someone else can't pick it up first.

On the bridge, the hailing frequency can be viewed on screen, along with the attached subject: "Identify yourselves." The notification chime goes off every seven seconds. These ships don't look like they're going anywhere, but they don't want to be kept waiting, either.

What do you do? Will you accept the frequency?]

ooc → see the July Star System post for details about this event! there is no real rush in this post (we won't even be around to begin responding to it until Sunday afternoon), so take your time, feel free to tag each other in this post (maybe try to get your Comms officers off their asses), and there is no time too late to tag into this post. the element of urgency is all IC, and there is no OOC pressure at all.

Who: Goku and you!
Broadcast: fleetwide!
Action: on the marsiva...if...anyone else is there???
When: pre-shuffle, so...friday?

KONZEN! KEN-NII! TEN-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!

[ may whatever deity you believe in have mercy on your ears, before there is suddenly a lot of shouting over the communicator. there's not actually much to see, because whoever is yelling...hasn't noticed it at all! oooor is ignoring it, considering the way it keeps getting stepped on any time that yelling comes closer.

whoever is yelling is clearly pretty young and upset, but when they get anywhere within view of the camera, all that can be seen is flashes of brown and black, the clanging of heavy metal chains joining all the noise. The yelling just continues, the names repeated over and over again as whoever the kids is apparently continuously runs around the deck trying to find the ones he's calling for.

Someone should probably stop him, because it doesn't sound like all the yelling is going to stop any time soon otherwise. ]

When: 7/6 (aka after the shuffle)

[ No video this time - just audio. At least, for now. ]

Hey. I get that people around here leave sometimes, but... I just want to make absolutely sure before... I-I don't know. I just want to make sure.

[ There's a slightly long pause here. ]

... Has anyone seen Chie Satonaka lately? She was on the SS Paisley.

[ He'll leave communications completely open. While he's waiting for an answer, he'll just sit here and beat himself up and maybe revisit a particular conversation he had earlier with a particular drunk dude about particularly very related things. ]

Who: Chie Satonaka and YOU!
Broadcast: Video, fleet-wide, open.
Action: SS Paisley
When: Sunday afternoon; 6/21

[hey look, it's a teen girl's face and she is frowning as she stares at an array of pots and pans in the kitchen of the paisley. she may have a cooking augment but some of this stuff still perplexes her greatly.]

Hmm ... so can anyone tell me, what's the difference between broiling and grilling again?

[she rubs at her temple because sheesh this stuff is giving her a headache. then, a thought occurs to her.]

Oh! I guess I forgot to introduce myself when I got here. [she laughs, sheepish, then smiles, wide and genuine. look how friendly this girl is.] I'm Chie Satonaka! Nice to meet you, everyone! [and she waves.]

tayori

Who: Yu Narukami
Broadcast: nada.
Action: Marsiva hospitality deck.
When: backdated to 6/17, all the way up to the shuffle.

( when he first comes round to consciousness again, there's an immediate feeling of wrongness. nothing feels right; the chill still lingers, shivering through him in tiny little tremors as he pulls himself into a sitting position and rubs a hand over his face, internally pulling at the strings of his memory to recall what had come before.

this isn't the plane – and this most certainly isn't his home back in the city. well, there's one thing to try that might give him a clue as to what precisely is going on, and it certainly goes to show the things he's gone through if his immediate thought is to try to drop from his own reality onto the astral plane which, strangely enough, had come to serve as more of a home than he's willing to admit.

( it had been easier for him and yosuke to meet there than it would have been for either of them to travel. with the added bonus of time stopping for both of them for the duration. )

we could go into great detail about the attempt at dropping from reality – how it should have been effortless, how he should have found himself staring at a starry floor instead of the muted surface beneath his feet – but the long and short of it is simply that it doesn't work. he remains sitting on his cot, blinking at the floor, his hands as they remain curled around his knees, brows furrowing above gray eyes in confusion.

and then in brief fear.

if this isn't the plane, then where –?

where is yosuke?

where is the rest of the team?

… what's happening?

it's then that he stands, pushing his hair out of his eyes, and takes a look around. the communication device goes ignored, for the most part, in favor of the massive windows all around him, giving a more than decent view of the even more massive void beyond them. space, he's used to. space, he can handle – which, what does that say about past experiences, hm?

it's the flickering television screens around him that give him immediate pause, uncertainty. a niggling little voice in the back of his mind insists that this could very easily be the beginning of another venture into the tv world – even if it doesn't have the same feel to it. it feels different, of course it does, and none of it even comes close to the horrifying familiarity of where his friends had been forced to face and accept the worst parts of themselves.

yu breathes out a small noise, mouth pulling into a thin, firm line. well. he isn't going to find any of those friends if he doesn't start looking, right? right.

and thus, the search begins. )

Who: Yosuke Hanamura and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: HMS Marsiva hospitality deck
When: 6/17!

► [ action ]

[ Yosuke doesn't stay in that bed for long. He rolls over... and falls right out of it. dfjakl

He sits up with a jolt, wide awake, and that does not at all help the shock of being somewhere completely foreign. He's on his feet in barely even a second, looking around, trying to see anything that might just give him a clue. There's not much, of course, and falling back on instinct, he reaches under the jacket of his school uniform for his kunai. But they're... not there. What...? ]

What the hell...?

[ He tries to take a few deep breaths, but he's too antsy to stay still in the face of something completely unknown. So he starts wandering away from his bed, and rather quickly - because if there aren't answers, he's going to put that on hold for a minute or two.

He has his friends to find. And he has to find them now. ]

► [ audio ]

[ Okay. He's calmed down a bit more now. Sort of.

He grabs the device from its place near where he woke up. So even though he's never seen one of these things before, somehow, he knows exactly what to do with it. Maybe it's just techno-instinct? The way they talk about his generation growing up on computers all the time - that's gotta be what's going on. Right? ... Yeah, well, one relization at a time.

He starts broadcasting. On purpose, even! ]

Okay. I have no idea who's listening to this, but if you can hear me, I just woke up in this weird... Uh. Space ship. [ A second of silence. ] I don't know, but that's what it looks like! But seriously, the point is, what's going on and how do I get out of here?

[ A longer silence this time - one with a sense of hesitation... until he finally decides, hell with it, and speaks up again! ]

If this is the Plane - I mean, you know, because it looks like space - then can someone really tell me what the hell is going on?

[ The sad part is, he's not entirely sure if he wants this to be the Plane or not... ]
