Col. Sebastian "Basher" Moran

video; sorry seems to be the hardest word  
[ And on the end of this feed: Moran in all his muttonchopped glory, looking exceptionally grumpy. That is, grumpier than he normally looks. ]

My name is Sebastian Moran, number 008-155.

[ For the first time, he doesn't introduce himself as Colonel. As a matter of fact, almost none of what follows sounds like your typical Moran. It's terribly obvious that he's being puppetted through this, and if his Christopher Walken-esque performance prompts anything, there may, in fact, even be cue cards helping him along. ]

Prior to this jump, I made the absolutely idiotic mistake of firing a shot at one of them bleeding cleaning dev-- [ He shoots a doubtful look just off camera. ] A Roomba. I made the absolutely idiotic mistake of firing a shoot at a Roomba.

I've been punished for this with time in the brig, of course, but this is me issuing a much-needed public apology. I apologize for this violent act, and I apologize for being a moron in general. Moron is, after all, nearly my name. Chums.

[ Just before the feed flickers to black, there's a brief shot of him essentially facepalming. What is his poor life? ]

mike ross is a failure of a human being

[ three ✚ video ]  
[ the feed pops on to mike, sitting on the edge of his bed and holding the communicator in his hand. he looks a bit tired but, really, why wouldn't he? still, there's a bit of strain around his eyes like he's trying to not look as bad as he feels.

instead he opts for speaking, getting right to the point. ]

So, hey, Tranquility. Does anyone know where I can get a box? I mean, I have all this stuff and just nowhere to put it and--

[ he takes a moment to frown off to the side before looking back at the communicator again. ]

It's kind of bullshit, actually, being stuck with a bunch of crap when someone leaves. I don't have any use for it, y'know? Why do I have to keep it? Like, who the fuck needs two pairs of sunglasses in a spaceship?! A spaceship!

[ and he glares a little off to the side again before going kind of quiet, deflating slightly and continuing a moment later. ]

... But, well, I guess, we don't actually know what happens when people leave, do we? We just... assume they go home, right? Except--

[ he looks a bit panicked for a moment, looking off to the side again before shaking his head and just murmuring a "nevermind". ha ha, yep, harvey specter has left the tranquility and mike's... dealing better than expected, honestly! ]

... Also, I have a vacuum now.

[ he just pans over to the other side (not the one he was looking at) to this sitting on the floor, then back to himself. ]

Dunno why.

[ and then he hangs up. thanks, tq. ]

video;  
--ell it’s not as if we have radios like this back home, Muggle technology isn’t anywhere near this level of complexity just yet.

[ someone ( Miss Lily Evans ) is fussing with Remus’ communicator. no, not her own, because he was showing her how it works, but her curiosity and maybepossibly mild impatience made her reach out to take his, already pushing different icons on the screen to see if she could figure out how to use it on her own. naturally, all she did was turn a video recording without realizing it right away. the view is blurry at best, because she keeps turning it over in her hands, squinting at it before pressing the screen a few more times. but then she’s looking up from it to ask him another question, though she just ends up sighing and maybe kinda smiling but really she’s doing her best to look stern here. ]

Pardon me. You teach me, then I’ll teach you, remember? It’s not as if my textbooks are leaving anytime soon. And neither am I, so-

[ so she’s holding up the communicator between them, turning her hand this way and that, hellooo, completely in the dark here- ]

Oh, what’s that little light for-?

Well, now you’ve turned it on. See? That means it’s recording. Which means you and I are broadcasting to the ship right now--

[He gives the camera a vague sort of grin, brief, before turning back to her to add:]

And they might not be leaving, no, but I’m dying to see them-- it’s been ages, Lily, and there’s nothing about magic in the library--

But in any case. Hello, all. This is my friend Lily Evans-- obviously from my world-- who, ah, is-- in sixth year, you said? Right. Sixth year, which makes her about a year from where I am-- only we’re the same age now, which is terribly confusing.

Anything you’d like to say, Lils?

Oh! Yes, that's right, sixth year, but- Wow. Hi.

[ she never really thought she was camera shy before this moment, but a live video feed is a little different than posing for a snapshot. so her cheeks might be a little pink, but otherwise she's just sitting up straighter, like someone who cares veryveryvery much about making a good first impression. which might also be why she's wearing her Hogwarts uniform. ..either that or she just feels more comfortable in her robes than that jumpsuit. awfully tight, isn't it? anyway- ]

As Remus said, my name's Lily. I'm still learning the dos and don'ts of the ship, but I'm hoping it won't be too long before I'm helping out around here in some capacity. How much do you all know about magi-

[ hmm maybe she should direct this at Remus ]

How much do they know about our world? Magic, I mean.

Quite a bit.

[His expression turns slightly uncomfortable for a second.]

Perhaps I should fill you in off-screen, hm?

Of course, yeah.

[ squinting at that expression!! but in a considerate way ( if that’s even possible ), and it’s only brief, because then she’s turning back to the camera. and she looks a little, tiny bit confused, but otherwise she’s managed to save face ]

We’ll... be back later. Maybe. Can’t wait to meet you all!

[text] john: abort mission!  
oh, wow.
let's face it: this is all sorts of crazy.
but like the sci-fi kind of crazy, which is a cool and dangerous kind of crazy!
although if you tried telling that to your therapist or rose, they'd probably argue that lunacy is lunacy, no matter what.
which brings me to my next point...
am i crazy?
did you ever think that maybe the reason that goo is blue is because it's the color of your destroyed dreams??
the kind of goo that seeps into your ears and totally brainwashes you????????
WAIT.
what if i am figuring all this out way ahead of schedule.
i've been scratching the tattoo a whole lot, too.
i didn't mean to, i swear. i was just itchy!
the effects are wearing off, i repeat, the effects are wearing off!
HOLY SHIT.
i just heard a highly suspicious noise.
...they're right behind me, aren't they.

[ 5 seconds later: ]

TELL DAVE SPRITE I REALLY WANT TO PUNCH HIM!

fourth text message ✉ [ anonymous text ] ✉ i know what you're keeping  
Such a secretive collection of people we find ourselves with on this ship. Has anyone ever thought about that? There's encryptions that prevent us from entering and seeing other people's secrets, of course, we all use them when we can, don't we? You can never be too careful with who finds out about the secrets you have. No one would look twice at some of you if they knew those dirty little skeletons hidden in there, isn't that right?

You don't answer that in front of everyone, they are hidden for a reason. But, personally I always found it less stressful to have someone know of at least one my secrets. Not a therapist because even they're not as confidential as you'd think they are but a person I know won't tell a soul about it.

I have an idea, Tranquility. Some of you might hate it, while others might love it. We have enough stress on this ship what with individuals appearing, disappearing, deaths, why add to it by having secrets hidden that you're holding all by yourself. If you want to let go of one or two or however many you need to for that tightness in your shoulders or your face go away. Tell me, either now or later by saying moretta, and I'll deanon and we can have a healthy sort of discussion and your secret will be so very safe with me.

Because unlike others, I know exactly how a secret, no matter how dirty, is supposed to be kept.

[ ooc | note about these, if you choose to have your charcter give irene a secret of theirs it will go here for my personal reference, but will still be said by your character in this post/their post. and irene is going to end up using these for a sort of "protection" where she'll threaten to expose the secret if your character crosses her/she needs them to do something very specific for her. ]

How can people be so idle when there is so much at stake at your inaction?

[It's quiet. The past jump has not been kind to Marius. In fact, he sounds positively unsettled, almost as if he needs to just go to sleep and not talk to the public at large, but he needs to do something and this is the only way he can make his heart less heavy.]

We are slaves here to the whim of individuals we cannot even see, to those we cannot even meet, and -- I cannot keep quiet about it any longer.

[He draws in a breath.]

I know there will be much discussion about why we are here and whether or not we can escape -- and I am interested in hearing all of that, but what I am more interested in is opinion. I want to hear what people feel about being here, be it anger or apathy, rather than the facts of our situation, for nothing has ever been changed with cruel numbers and statistics so much as heart.

[And he stills for a long moment before Marius shuts off the feed -- and, maybe twenty minutes later, he sends out a text.]

[Filtered Away from Enjolras]

What can be done about nightmares?
