Broadcast: Yes!
Action: YAS!
When: Directly after the shuffle!
[ Twin Roses ]
[ The Twin Roses has a very new, and... probably very temporary communications officer. She's not been on this vessel before, and temporary as she may end up being, she is still keen to explore the ship and meet all of the people within it. Lunafreya may be a little out of her element here, though. She certainly feels like it, considering that she is currently dressed in a rather elaborate wedding gown. It's a bit embarrassing, really, considering... well. The circumstances.
Nevertheless, Lunafreya can be found wandering in various areas of the ship -- the kitchens, the bridge, and of course, communications. Despite her current state of dress, she will be more than happy to be distracted by a pleasant face and a decent conversation. Newbie to this ship she may be, newbie to the Fleet she is not. At least there won't be any silly questions? ]
[ Video ]
[ Having found her way to her quarters, Lunafreya sits on the end of her bed. She has yet to change into the provided clothing that the Fleet fortunately has to offer, because there are far more important matters to tend to at the moment. She offers a soft smile. ]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, and I was here many moons ago, though I know not how long it has actually been here for the rest of you. [ Ten years have passed in her world... and time doesn't work that way here, if she recalls correctly. ] I was hoping to not only say hello and reintroduce myself, but to perhaps get a role call as to who is still here and who is not.
[ The first time she was here, there was a sadness about her. This time around, that sadness is gone, replaced with something akin to fulfillment, gratitude, and... happiness. Content, even. And it certainly shows on both her face and in her voice. The smile she wears widens and warms further. ]
I look forward to seeing all of my dear friends in person very soon. I cannot wait to both see you all and hear all of the wonderful stories of the time you've spent here.

Mar. 6th, 2018 07:52 pmgoldkissWho: Victor Nikiforov and OPEN
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Heron for the broadcast / The Iskaulit for action.
When: Sometime
[It's glitch time for Victor!
The boy who appears on screen appears to be around sixteen or seventeen. He has very long hair and bright blue eyes. He's wearing Victor's clothes, but they are too large for him. Makkachin is with him and the poodle licks his face a couple of times as he starts the broadcast. He laughs a gently, and chides her playfully in Russian before turning to the screen.]
Sorry, my dog seemed happy to see me when I woke up, which is nice because I don't recognize anything else around. I usually wouldn't complain about seeing new sights, but I'm certain my coach would be furious if I was late to practice again.
If I'm right, there really isn't any way back home though, is there?
[If you thought that adult Victor was good at hiding his true thoughts and feelings, it's even worse with a young Victor who hasn't come into his own just yet. He seems pleasant and cheerful, even while simultaneously freaking out over finding himself in such an unusual situation. After a moment, he allows himself a small frown.]
How long have I been here?
-----------------------------------------
[Several hours later, after he has had people tell him that they already know him as an adult, Victor finds the ice rink on the Iskaulit. Emotions are difficult, ice skating is the best way he knows how to deal with them.
That's healthy, isn't it?]

OPEN : AUGMENT MALFUNCTION
Mar. 4th, 2018 04:55 pmpassingthroughWho: Kitty Pryde and YOU!
Broadcast: Open
Action: Twin Roses & Iskaulit
When: 3/4 - 3/10ish
[ Video ]
[Kitty appears on video looking a liiiiiiittle different than the way she usually looks. The augment had some fun adjusting her. She’s not a cat, but she’s certainly got a lot of catlike features which isn’t unheard of for a mutant.
The pupils of her eyes are no longer round, but a slit. Her nails have also changed, growing to a point and hooking slightly to serve more as claws. Her fangs have extended slightly. Her ears now come to more of a point and are soft and fuzzy like the rest of her body. There’s a short layer of fur everywhere now, similar in color to her usual skin tone, but with gray tabby-like striped markings appearing over certain parts of her body like her face, legs, arms, and tail. Oh, yeah, there’s a tail too. Of course there is.]
Okay. Just get all the puns and jokes out of your systems right now.
[ Twin Roses ]
[You might spot the direwolf pup, Seeker run by with Kitty following him.] Come on, it’s still me.
[Or maybe you just run into her in the kitchen, bridge, lounge, engine room, or shuttle bay. There are only so many places to be on the ship after all and she gets cagey being all locked up during the drifting weeks when she’s at her best. Right now she’s even more restless than usual. And you know how she’ll often sit on a table or counter instead of a chair? Well, she’s still doing that, but sometimes she’s taking it even more extreme being up on the top of book shelves and various equipment.
You could also find her in her room if you’re looking for a more private moment.]
[ Iskaulit ]
[As awkward as she feels in this body, she’s not going to stop living her life because of it. That means time spent training in the gym where she very awkwardly isn’t sure what to deal with her tail. You might get to see her step on it again. It also means she’ll drop by the library to replenish her book supply and Jarvis’ for some food. A girl’s gotta eat!]

Mar. 3rd, 2018 01:50 pmultima_mortisWho: Death and Everyone Else
Broadcast: Of course!
Action: SS Caprine
When: Today
Action – SS Caprine (Bridge)
He is the first to arrive and the last to leave. Of all the temporary things in life, he is the one that lives the longest, so to speak; longer than plants, people, and the stars themselves. Death is a force of pure energy that is needed wherever there is life, no matter how small. Naturally, he feels quite out of sorts on a spaceship. This is not his beautiful manor nor is it his beautiful planet. Nay, the SS Caprine is the very opposite of one.
It’s the starts that bother him most, really. They’re not at all familiar from anything he’s seen in the past, nor do they look like anything he had seen coming up on the horizon. For a being that’s used to knowing precisely who, what, and where he is, it’s awful. So much vastness in the universe and now he’s lost in the thick of it.
So he sighs. The sound is like dried leaves scattering through a graveyard, the final breath of a whole world, the very essence of finality in the softest tones. The pudding in his hand is pushed around with the spoon.
I DO HOPE SHE WILL FORGIVE ME…
Broadcast
There’s a sudden burst of noise as the feed partially turns on. Still quite dark, but the deep tombstone voice is distinct as it mutters away.
OH! I THINK IT TURNED ON. ODD. SHOULDN’T I BE ABLE TO-
And the broadcast is completed at last, with deep dark pits marked by two bright blue pinpricks of light look into the camera. The pits are a part of a skeleton’s face, permanent grimace and all. Death makes a thoughtful noise.
SO IF THIS ONE TURNS THE VIDEO ON, IF I PRESS IT AGAIN-
Darkness once more, but now the reaper may yet speak with confidence! He turns the feed right back on and nods.
YES, I THINK I HAVE IT NOW. IT LETS YOU TRANSMIT BOTH IMAGE AND SOUND. HOW INTERESTING. THE WIZARDS WOULD HAVE QUITE THE TIME TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER HOW THIS DEVICE FUNCTIONS. AND IF THIS WORKS THE WAY IT APPEARS TO, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HELLO AND MAKE AN INQUIRY OF ANYONE WHO CAN SEE THIS. WHERE EXACTLY AM I, AND IF POSSIBLE, WHEN AM I?

Feb. 10th, 2018 04:22 pmginger_firebirdWho: Mantis and You
Away from the crowds and back in his solitude, Mantis is humming to himself as he hangs up a couple of small paintings in his office. They're only vaguely floral in design and stand out against the otherwise drab colors of the walls. He keeps nudging them minutely in one direction and another for a good minute before being satisfied that his sense of angles has not failed him. After that, it's back at his desk where he sets out a few odd items: two circles made out of flat pieces of wood, several sheets of white fabric, spools of colored thread, and a pack of needles. He sets them out in a neat pattern and sits back, staring at the items in question.
"I might have made a mistake already, but this is what I get for wandering the Crafter's Hall for too long. Incidentally, I'm curious about something. We have an decent amount of humans here, but I've yet to see people from the same Earth as I seem to have come from. Just how many different paths has human history taken?"
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Duotera
When: Today
A - Crafter's Hall
You could hardly ask for a better venue to get a little lost in. Mantis was distracted in several directions at once taking in all the many different crafts that were being put on display. In one direction, he watched wood carving. In another, he saw kinds of painters. With the crowd as big as it was, he could get good and lost for a while and take in all the different ways one might spend their free time. You'll see him sitting for a few demonstrations or simply browsing a stall or two. After a while, he'll have a couple of bags hanging from one arm.

[On screen is an overheated red head. He would usually be dressed in layers and a hat, but is without hat and down to single layers of clothing. Thankfully he is back in the comfort of his own ship, and taking the time to relax and cool down.]
Philias. A planet that is less of a planet, and more like an actual living hell.
I don't know why I thought Philias would be a good idea, but it... isn't. Not in the least. I'd do anything if it meant never getting back on a planet like that ever again. I'm not kidding - surely someone out there has done something wild, especially for ratings. I'd even go back to the planet that hated hearing people swear.
[He lights a cigarette before he continues-]
What kind of crazy stuff have you done for ratings? Because I'd probably do it over visiting Philias.

Jan. 10th, 2018 08:48 pmginger_firebirdWho: Mantis et (everyone
He takes a breather to look up at the many multi-colored windows that are scattered throughout the shopping area. It's such a simple and effective means of adding some personality and life to an otherwise ordinary building. Sweeping footsteps carry him in slow circles through the different colors shining onto the ground, and he can even be heard humming quietly to himself.
Passerby who happen to catch his attention will hear a surprised noise followed swiftly by a calm wave. He's in a better mood than usual.
B. Iskaulit
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's not completely graceful, but Mantis is gaining just the slightest bit of confidence on the ice. His arms hang more at his sides as he moves along the edges of the ice skating rink, but not so much that he can't quickly swing them about if his feet give out from under him. He's muttering to himself as he goes along, too, mostly about when to take the curves on either end.
His feet slide out experimentally as he turns to complete a lap, letting him glide more than he steps. Nothing one can win a gold medal on, but he laughs a little with each successful bit of gliding and lifts his head a little higher. Now if only he could figure out how not to completely wipe out when trying to go backwards...
Anyone passing by the rink will get a quick wave as he comes by. Practice will not be stalled much, no matter how much he likes the person on the other side of the panels separating actual floor and ice.
Broadcast: Yee
Action: Iskaulit, Planetside
When: Earlier in the afternoon
A. Planetside
Tedious as it is, a man needs clothes that aren't mass produced and cheap, and that means a lot of shopping. He has a fair number of bags hanging off his shoulders or his elbows, but he hardly seems to notice the weight of them at all. In fact, a couple may seem to bob a bit even as he stands still.

Jan. 9th, 2018 07:03 pmgoldkissWho: Victor, Yuri, Makkachin, and OPEN. Basically, this is Victor and Yuri enjoying the planet. They're together so if you just reply you'll get replies from both. If you want to play with only one, please note that in your reply/put it in your subject header.
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Selvin-9
When: Throughout this entire month, back-dated as needed. Fit into your calander where you want.
I. Shopping
Victor loves shopping. He loves seeing the culture of a place through the wares that they offer. He loves leaving with bags filled with beautiful things. He already adores this planet, but the shopping is something he would easily get carried away with.
It was lucky, then, that he had Yuri with him. They could get carried away together. They both had items they wanted to get to make their respective rooms more comfortable and this planet had given them a chance to buy things they needed for the ice rink on the Iskaulit. Each of them had a few bags when they stopped to get something to eat. Any one passing by would see them together, munching on a sweet snack, while Makkachin was plopped down on the ground by their feet.
When they see someone from the Fleet there's likely to be pleasant greetings. "Hello friend!" Victor calls enthusiastically. "Have you tried these chocolates yet? They're delicious. Aren't they just delicious, Yuri?"
II. Snow
Makkachin seems to love the snow of this place. She keeps rushing off and jumping into it and nipping at it in the air as if she'll be able to eat it all. Neither Victor nor Yuri seem in a hurry to put her on a leash, she's very well behaved and tends to do better when she's allowed to roam.
Now, though, the pair can be seen tossing the fluffy sweet snow in the air to get her to jump at it. Both of them seem to be having a good time, though, eventually, Victor realizes how much of it is getting in her fur.
"Oh, this is going to be terrible to try to get out. Are you prepared for a bath when we get back, Makkachin?" Well behaved or no, at the suggestion Makkachin yaps and then trots over to the nearest person she can find, as if they will protect her from being dragged off to a bath.
III. Ice Skating
Of course, Victor and Yuri take time to go ice skating. There are nice indoor rinks here but Victor suggests the lake purely on the idea that it will be romantic. They have to be a bit more careful on natural, uneven ice, but that doesn't seem to stop them.
Makkachin takes a spot on the bank of the lake where they've left bags with their shoes and naps while the two of them are completely distracted by one another. Their pair skate is beautiful and graceful, as they move around another and openly caress each other. It's clear to anyone watching the ice is where both of them are most comfortable.
If anyone does stop to watch them, Makkachin opens her eyes and then comes over to them as if expecting pets - almost as if that's the toll for the pleasure of watching her humans.

If anyone does stop to watch them, Makkachin opens her eyes and then comes over to them as if expecting pets - almost as if that's the toll for the pleasure of watching her humans.

Broadcast: Yes
Action: Selvin-9
When: Early January
[The video starts out jostling and blurry, like some kind of snowed-in Blair Witch project. There’s even screaming- oh no, that’s just excited screaming, and it’s more like breathless squeaks than screams.]
Mikleo- Mikleo! Get it get the- you got it?
I’ve got it. I still think this is ridiculous…
[There’s a jostling movement as the communicator is transferred from one to the other, and for a moment it lingers on a seemingly-empty wolf kigu, its wearer invisible but sounding as unimpressed as the costume’s expression. It’s gone in a flash, and Sorey suddenly darts into view, wearing a goblin kigu, running through the snow with the clumsiness of a person unaccustomed to winter weather, over to a truly ugly snow sled…with wheels.]
Do you see this?! [Sorey seems unable to contain himself, gleeful and giddy, posing in front of the sled with a peace sign in front of a rental shop on the slope.] This is the coolest thing ever- ohhh, I wish we could buy it!
[Sorey suddenly gets closer to the camera, grinning a grin that precludes any rational decision-making.] Hey Keith! I challenge you to a sled race! Or anybody, anybody who’s game! I’ll bet rental fees and hot chocolate that I can beat you!
[There’s a long-suffering sigh - albeit mildly affectionate - from behind the camera. Mikleo’s done this song and dance before, it’s old hat.]

Happy Feast of Winter Veil. Ah, I know most of you don't know Azeroth's holidays but it coincides with a lot of some earth holidays, if I'm remembering right from last year.
[He's looking a little awkward about this, it makes him miss Belthazar a little. He still has the blood elfs gifts to him, and is wearing the cloak he'd made him. And now he's holding onto a very poorly wrapped... something. Poor wrapped and wrapped in some really awful paper.]
This wasn't marked. Except for me. And this? [He raises the tag to show the red lipstick print, and an ace of hearts. And then pulls the paper off. It's easy, all of it kind of haphazrdly taped together.
Once it's revealed, he freezes. For viewers, it's just an ornate staff. To Khadgar, it's much more.]

Action: Iskaulit
When: Today
Action
He's not particularly beautiful nor is he particularly graceful, but a man can always dream and that is why Mantis is wearing ice skates. It really does not look nearly as difficult as it is, and yet he is having quite a hard time moving more than a few feet from the wall of the rink. Maybe it's the lack of friction or the awkwardness of being lifted a good extra inch off the ground than usual, but Mantis slips and slides with all the grace of a minutes old faun. Each time his legs come out from under him, his whole body lifts ever so slightly off of the ice until he's safely leaning on the wall. Slowly, very slowly, he'll make it all the way around. An Olympic sport though it may be, ice skating is also a perfectly legitimate hobby to get into.
Video
After a grand time finding out that he lacks in certain graces, the bruised ego needs a chance to recover. As such, he turns on the video feed of his communicator while getting the skates off. His toes are getting a good rubbing, but he's also humming quietly to himself.
"I don't know how they do it. Even standing in those shoes is a pain. I might soak my feet tonight if they keep hurting."

He waits impatiently as it connects. All he wants is to be able to hear Yuri's voice. Well, all he wants is Yuri back with him, but he'll take hearing his voice as a start. Once it connects he clings to the communicator and speaks into it.]

Oct. 16th, 2017 06:59 pmthespaceopera[ It's midday, or close enough to it that the sun is blazing red hot above the planet. Everything seems ordinary - for disturbing, red-tinted values of ordinary, anyway. But the normalcy doesn't last for long.
Without warning, an explosive sound shocks through the jungle. It doesn't come from any one central point, but rather several points, scattered throughout, strategically placed to the advantage of someone. And from those massive shocks rises a wave of missiles - large, fast, and apparently, freely flying. They're guided, and they've locked onto their target: any foreign ship that is currently within Lato'li's atmosphere.
There's no way to mistake it. They're headed right for the Fleet.
The first wave feels a bit sporadic - timings might be off, but the missiles are still deadly, and if they hit, they hit hard. Shields might withstand this wave, but ships without shields will take direct hits. The ability to stay airborn is very, very quickly lost.
The second wave is much more precise, expertly timed and executed by whomever is firing from below. Even smaller shuttles get caught in the crosshairs, and those ships that lasted through the first volley will take a few more shots. If shields saved you before, they will fail here, giving out under the strain.
And the third wave comes, a little bit longer after, to finish the job. There are more of them, and they are far more advanced - they make the previous two volleys look like warning shots. This time, it's all missiles launched, all targets acquired.
Seven Fleet ships - and many, many shuttles - fall out of the sky, headed straight for the surface at alarming speed. Only four ships manage to escape the assault and exit the planet's atmosphere, retreating to orbit as fast as possible. Those lucky enough to have been in orbit can only watch as all of this happens.
But the missiles aren't the only thing up their sleeve. Just when the dust settles, while the network is surely lighting up with activity, attempts to contact one another and check on the status of fellow ships and crew, A loud, quick, terrible screeching noise shocks the network. It drowns out all communications on any connected devices - ship or personal. Ships in orbit will see all on-board systems flicker, then fizzle out, all non-emergency systems have gone completely down.
And with that.. there's silence. Perhaps too much silence. No matter what you do, no matter which buttons you press, which channels you try, there is no connection. Those who have dropped to the surface are entirely radio silent, and those in orbit have been reduced to the barest of abilities and life-support, with the bare minimum of contact.
So... What can you do now? ]
(( ooc: Feel free to use this post as a mingle for all your crashy or missile-dodgy needs!
• The following ships have been shot down: Bishop, Bloodsport, Blue Fish, Goldstone, Heron, Tourist, Twin Roses.
• The following ships are now in orbit: Blameless, Caprine, First Breath, Huntress, Iskaulit, Red Fish, Starstruck, Vanquish, Wonderduck

A: Bishop (accidental broadcast)
He's in his office. A man with brown hair and a scowl is glaring at him. The man is proving difficult to deal with.
He's in his office. The man is in trouble. Much as he fights, some illusions are hard to break.
He's in his office. There's a burning pain in his chest. His leg. The man takes off his mask. Blue eyes meet grey with mutual hate. His mask is back on and all goes black.
He's in his office. Chairs provided by Atroma are floating around in lazy circles. Mantis is likewise suspended in mid-air. His shoulders are tense, his hands in fists, and he's breathing in a slow and deliberate manner. The feed is slightly askew from where he had tossed his transmitter to the floor.
A pair of scissors comes up behind his shoulder. The chairs all slam against one side of the room. There's a dull think as the scissors lodge themselves in one of them. Mantis' feet touch the floor and he sits on the desk. Truly the worst thing about remembering is a lack of proximity to that which one wishes to destroy. He waves his hand and the feed goes dark.

The feed now shows Mantis slumped over the desk in his office. The scissors are upright where they have been stabbed into it. He waves vaguely at the camera before picking up his head.A: Bishop (accidental broadcast)

[Kitty is still in her bedroom where she's been for the past two months when the video opens.]
If the timestamps I'm seeing are right then I'm surprised I don't have a long beard by now. That's a Rip Van Winkle joke for any of the non-earthlings who think maybe I can grow a beard.
So, I'm Kitty Pryde for anyone who just showed up. Just so you know I still have seniority over you. I could take your lunch money any time I want. And hi. Any new mutants? Maybe some Avengers who should be mutants, but they aren't because timelines are funny that way? [Wanda and Pietro were strange, okay?]
I haven't flipped through much of the network yet. Feel free to do a roll call. Let me know you're here—new, old, returned, twice baked, whatever. Did I miss anything fun? Maybe some birthdays? Oh, right, like mine. [She picks up some pretty and unusual stones and nudges an illustrated physics book. She speaks softer.] Maybe someone remembered.
[Scrolling through some old network posts and her eyes widen slightly.] Maybe I missed something not so fun...
[ACTION : TWIN ROSES]
[Her body feels lethargic and uninterested in all this moving she wants to do. But she's been out of commission and she feels the need to catch up. So she'll be looking for crewmates and visitors.]
