( 003 ) video ✶ it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall the major lift

[unparental]

[ jenna's more than a little perturbed by the recent realizations-- doors with messages on them, missing people-- but she still tries to pin on a happy face for her post. it's a little wilted around the edges, but sincere all the same. ]

So, in my grand tradition of beating a dead horse: welcome to the Tranquility, new kids. And... welcome back to the rest of us, I guess. If we haven't met already, I'm Jenna.

First order of business: a couple of us have been putting lists together, and maps. Maybe we should throw them together? One stop shopping style, easier for everyone. Oh, and: if you're new, or if this is your second jump and you're antisocial, please just put your name on a list. I don't care if the name is fake-- although anyone claiming to be named Seymour Butts gets the door-- but just give us a name so we can know you're here.

Last time around, we had a party slash movie night. Anyone up for another one? Booze, food, making some connections-- nothing wrong with that.

[ she taps her fingers against her thigh, clearly trying to think if she's forgotten anything. ]

Oh hey, while I'm at it-- does anyone have a hoodie they'll trade for?

flagged ; hackable

Does anyone know for sure if people have gone missing? I'm pretty sure I know someone who has, and we should-- [ she inhales, rubs at her forehead. ] find out if they're off the ship, or missing, or--

[ another pause. dead is an option, too. ] Anyway, just let me know.

Okay, here's an ethics question. Let's say you're not technically dating someone due to certain long story kind of complications, but it's understood stepping out on them would be cheating. How long is long enough before telling them they need to make a call either way?

Do you have a couple minutes tonight? [ as in: can i come get something to eat. (not that she wants to ask that right out.) and in case her subtext was a little too sub: ] I could stop by the med bay.

( ooc | anything jenna encrypts will be fairly easy to hack; her skill level is pretty basic, so she's not tragic but anyone who works with code on even a casual basis can crack it, easily. )

[ Chase is alarmed she's going to start crying, which is why she starts texting--despite the fact she hates it. ]

Not missing. Gone.

[ ah, actual encryption. ]

...I'm so sorry.

Hoodie? Like.. A sweatshirt? I'm sorry, are these lovely black jumpsuits not fashionable enough for you?

[unparental]

I guess I'm just not avant garde enough.

AUDIO; same encryption so people can add to it

[widowing]

I know there's at least one who's no longer here. [ not anyone she was very familiar with, but it's troubling all the same. ] Who is it you noticed was missing?

AUDIO; same encryption so people can add to it

[unparental]

Who? [ jenna's in the same boat, natasha. ] Her first name was Jennie-- if she told me her last, I don't remember off the top of my head.

[ Even on such a small screen, with eyes that really need to adjust to the concept of pixelisation, the dimmed smile isn't difficult to miss. But it's not his area, nor his business, and so there are other things that need to be regarded. ]

[ Maybe a little messily. He knows how to use the communicator now, but that doesn't mean he knows how to use it well. The result is an unpracticed and shaky view of his- half of his face. ]

Hello? How far on this map, please? I'm currently in the process of constructing an accurate model of the place for future use; any previous references appreciated. ...Well, work promptly checked, and then appreciated.

Oh, and, I suppose, can you hear this? Should have opened with that.

[unparental]

Loud and clear. [ jenna spreads her hands and shrugs. ] But I'm not the girl with the map-- I can point you her, though.

[bottlearum]

Will there be rum?

[If so sign him up.]

[unparental]

I could organize a rum hunt. Big fan?

[surrogates]

You'd be surprised how many people think that name works. You know, Seymour Butts.

And as for the hoodie, at the moment, I don't, but I'd be willing to give it to you if I did.

[ awkward pause. ] You okay?

[ come on, jenna, read the subtext there. ]

( video )

[unparental]

Get a lot of term papers from Jenny Talia, huh?

...You're a prince.

[ that's supposed to be sarcasm, but it's more just... tired, and a little longing. ]

I'm adjusting. How about you, Ric? Are you okay? [ aaaand lobbing the ball right back. ]

[ Does he have a couple of minutes tonight? You're pressing him into a hard place, Jenna. He's supposed to be working with Sherlock. ]

There's a, um, machine that synthesizes what you need. If you can come in about an hour, I can get it to you. Otherwise I can leave it out. Can you... do cold?

Voice; Private

[unparental]

I can wait, if it would be easier. I'm the one putting you out, and I'm not-- I can handle another night without any issues. So if it would be easier, tomorrow's fine.

[ how does jenna even shot talking about this. ]

And cold's fine, for the record.

[statsraaden]

Hello.
I have maps, and other people are contemplating putting their own maps together. They should be able to contact you.
I would also be happy if there were another party. There are quite a few people I still need to meet.
Finally, I haven't seen Heatwave or Red Alert, and I heard Corazon left, as well. I wasn't able to meet her before that.

[unparental]

Okay, let me get those down. [ she sighs, pushing hair out of her face. ] Any ballpark estimate on when you last saw the first two?

[addictive]

[ Look at this enthusiastic little punk, grinning at Jenna from underneath the furlined hood of what appears to be a very large parka. Not that the kid would say no to a hoodie, but look! Look! Fake fur!

Mouse nods eagerly, all smiles. ]

Jenna! [ he squeaks. ] Parka!

[ The way he declares this seems to ask: isn't this cool? ]

[unparental]

Now, that is an awesome parka.

[ she grokked that excitement and unspoken meaning. SOMEHOW. ]

[ There's a bunch of stuff there that Kristeva doesn't understand so she's going with the one thing that she does: ]

Kristeva.

[ hey, it's a start. ]

Nice to meet you, Kristeva. How's your head?

[Heather is posturing. You're seeing a girl start a sentence all filled with bravado and sass and then sort of wilt.]

This is so messed up. I've been watching, and... seriously, is every person here a mental case? But you seem sort of like you're on the level, so.

Putting myself on one of these lists isn't going to get me, like, hunted down, right? Because I've been to that party and it sucked.

[ jkdfshjfsd heather. jenna's momdar: activated. ]

Trust me, this is more 'so we can make sure no one gets lost and hurt and no one notices' than a Big Brother kind of deal. Like I said, even a fake name is fine-- we just need to get a better handle on how many of us are here.

...The first week's always the suckiest. You'll get used to it.

Is there a specification for these lists...?

[She wants to make sure she hits up the correct one of course! But well this person seems as if they know something! Which is more than can be said for. Others.]

And... may we request lists? If there's a tally of the current nations aboard surely it's not too forward to ask to see it... Or, at least, is Germany-chan here?

[She would never call Germany this to her face. Never. But it's totally acceptable when only strangers are around fufufufufu]

[Video]

[unparental]

...Current nations?

[ record scratch there. jenna hasn't met the anthropomorphic countries, yet. ]

Maps, I cannot offer you, though I would be interested in seeing these maps when you gather all your sources. However, this... 'hoodie', yes? I believe if you described it to me, I could make it for you. I sympathise with your dislike for the outfit provided: They are unwearable.

Aaa, yes! A party, a party would be a fantastic idea! Of course, you will need many exotic dishes to entertain your guests with, no? [ Forgive him, he's used to 18th century aristocratic balls orginised by overindulgent kings. ] I would be happy to provide at least that much for you, my dear.

[unparental]

I'll put you down for one. [ ...that would be only half a joke, they don't have a place to put anyone down yet. she will, though. ] It's just a sweatshirt. Baggy, with a hood-- for working out, or sleeping.

I was going to go with tequila and popcorn, but I'm not about to turn down someone who can actually cook.
