[ The screen flickers, and a girl of about 11 with long brown hair and eyes that seem to stare right into the heart of you appear. Despite the communication device visual, it's apparent she's a little different then most little girls. Maybe it's the way she bridges her fingertips,  or how she purses her lips before speaking. ]

 All of this communication babbling has to stop. You're doing nothing by clouding the waves.

[ She extends three fingers ]

 We're all here against our will, as far as I know. [ Two fingers remain ]

 The conclusion is that it's something other than us. [One finger ] And we're certainly from different places, if my talk with Elizaveta is anything to go by. There's no crew. Just us and our uniforms that are strangely accurate in size. 

 So here's the open ended question, folks: Who are we trusting enough to lead us for the time being?

OOC: And bedtime for me! i'll tag everyone as soooon as I wake up, I promise! I just was way too excited for this comm to open.

We're here for less than a few hours and there's already talk about leadership?

[And from a small girl, no less. Something doesn't seem right about her, obviously.]

Some form of control is needed, even if it's loose. It's a lot better than running around like chickens.

[For a few moments, he looks just slightly uncertain - not with the topic at hand, but with whether or not this little device is working. There's a light on it now, so that must mean something.]

How unusual for a child to be so calm and logical in this sort of situation.

[Alexander, are you implying you know how kids usually act when they're abducted to some strange place? Yes he is.]

[ Cryptic words are cryptic. Chase's eyes narrow, somewhat, and she speaks after choosing her words carefully. ]

I tend to be calm and logical in most situations, sir.

[...And she thought the 18 year olds being here was terrible enough. Mommysenses going into overdrive. ]

You're very bright for your age. How can we really make a good judgement call for a leader when we've all only barely met?

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ The comment does make Chase light up, somewhat. Clearly not used to compliments. ]

Some form of order, even if it's just for now, would be best. I, for one, don't like the feeling of everyone-out-for-themselves. As long as we're careful not to make a totalitarian-esque place, or a dictator or anything, we should be okay. Especially if everyone knows it's temporary.

[ A half-smile. ] I'm not really good at the politics thing, but it seems like the best option. In my opinion, at least.

Accurate? Well, I dunno. It'd be to the inch were it not for the waist measurements. I mean, come on. Talk about unprofessional!

Re: voice;

[ Chase clears her throat and tries her best not to be annoyed. ]

Is joking part of your way of coping with things, sir?

[ oh wait is this not how children are supposed to act? someone has not gotten the memo. ]

Given the awareness that the majority of the vessel's misappropriated residents are not yet recovered from the mental and physical strain exacerbated by exiting the stasis chamber, I anticipate that such a query may be perceived as somewhat premature.

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Big words! Finally! Have a nearly-grinning Chase, even if he's debunking her previous words.]

But surely, some temporary form of order is needed? Sooner the better.

[ Can you blame her for being antsy about this when she's dealt with the Writing Writer and the Ghansgraad her entire life? ]

[uncodlyawwesome]

[Well if no one else will step forward...]

I elect myself.

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Good. Why?

[walksonrooftops]

But we don't know anyone here yet, do we? Isn't it too early to pick a leader? There could be traitors.

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be permanent, of course. That would be silly.

[ You again, little girl. ]

No crew is an assumption based on lack of evidence. Not an actual lack of the crew.

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Fine. [ She's not used to being wrong, okay? ] True. But you'd think there'd at least be more than an automated voice welcoming us if that were the case. This entire place has an...

[ She closes her eyes, and for a moment it seems like she's forgotten the other's still on screen. After a beat, she opens her eyes again. ]

It feels wrong.

[consulting]

Wrong.

[ Have a single customary, one word text message from everyone's favorite asshole ]

[text]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Feel free to chime in with a better option, sir.

[statsraaden]

I too think it would be useful to organise something, at least to understand what happened and how to go back to our homes.

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I'm not sure how to go about it, but some form of structure is definite.

[Have a grin. Geez, guys. He knows you're all testy, but don't all dog pile on her at once. LET'S ALL BE FRIENDS.] Thank you for summarizing everything.

[Heatwave understands the desire for order and hierarchy. He wants someone to give him a jooooob. But. Alas.]

Trust me, any leader placed right now will likely cause dividing lines, especially considering the number of different species. Besides, there's still time for the crew to make their appearance. People are still coming. It's a good plan in the long run, but right now, settling into our situation should probably be our first priority action.

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

[ Have a small smile in return for the grin, and a slight nod at his words. She likes this one, yes, she does. ]

It's the different species that confuses me. There are things...people, that certainly don't belong on Heaven's Fence. Different worlds, perhaps? Inter-dimensional travel isn't unheard of...

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

I can always lead or help if need be. I think as far as leadership abilities go, I think I may have the most to offer. That and, ah, I know that at least one other can vouch for my words.

Just. Please, whatever you do, do not allow Alfred to nominate himself. He makes everything worse.

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Don't know who Alfred is, but thank you.

[ She actually kind of likes Elizaveta. She's the best one so far, or so Chase thinks. ]

[wiener-bonbons.livejournal.com]

Ah. Y-you spoke with my w... my ex-wife.

[.... Okay that is a really terrible way to start the conversation. Lose the creep factor and move on. Relaxing his face now, everything's cool.]

I-in any case. I hope you'll be taking the necessary action as far as background checks are concerned? Not that I'm... all that sure how that is possible, but I would think the idea of some sort of test of moral integrity should be explored? It's... well. Most things look good when compared against chaos, and I wouldn't want all of us here to end up in the wrong hands.

[video]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Ex-wife. [ Oooohkaaaaay. ]

I figure if everyone can calm down long enough to 'elect' someone, everyone will keep that in mind.

video; i am sorry in advance.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU, KIRK-DUDE. ★★★★
We're gonna make this a democracy, GOT IT?!?

I vote Captain Kirk to be my support!!!
I'm holding two hands up. My vote counts for two; one for me and my other is my ego. SO I'M BEING FAIR.

[ihavesomany.livejournal.com]

Generally it's a good idea to get to know each other first. Suppose I'd better start.

Hello. I'm the Doctor.

[ video ] I am so sorry for this but I had do

Doctor Who?

Ah. You're -- how old are you? [he goes visibly soft.] I didn't know they were bringing children into this place, that's... that's not right at all.

[ ditto ] yesssss

Four. [ She waves her hand infront of her face, as if getting used to it. ] But apparently I'm now eleven. It's a disturbingly accurate age-up, however.
