[ The comm starts out with just voice, and it picks up Yata muttering as he tries to figure out the controls. It’s similar enough to a PDA that he can guess at a few things, but different enough to frustrate him when it doesn't work exactly the same. ]

Where the hell is the video option? Stupid piece of-

[ He finally figures it out and video turns on to reveal Yata looking pretty annoyed, a scowl set on his lips as he regards it. ]

Finally! [ Sorry for the shouting, he… doesn’t really have volume control. At all. Investing in ear plugs could be a good idea. ] I don’t know what the fuck’s going on but I can’t be here! I’ve got shit going on at home and I wanna know who the fuck thought this- [ A pointed gesture to the nanite tattoo on his arm ] was acceptable! There's only one tattoo and I need and it ain't this!

If anyone from Homra is here, get in contact with me already!

[A rather youthful looking teen with a mop of strawberry-blonde hair greets the transmission, a tip of his head at the remark.]

Time moves differently here compared to where you're from. No need to be in a rush. ♫

[ He doesn't get this timey wimey bullshit uuuugh ]

That still doesn't change the fact that I've got shit to do that doesn't involve freaky fucking spaceships!

[Yeah, yeah. He rolls his eyes. You are not a special snowflake, Misaki!]

Yeah, and you're far from the only one who has that issue. But sorry to say, there isn't a sure way home. People do leave, of course - like I did, once - but it's up to the ship who comes and goes.

[So far as he knows, at least.]

[ Fuck snowflakes, fire is where it's at. He frowns at the explanation and looks like he's thinking for a moment. ]

...So I have to pick a fight with the ship?

[ Yeah, he's dumb. ]

[. . . . . . . .

This face, Misaki. This face.]

Are you stupid? You can't fight a spaceship. It's pretty dangerous, anyway.

You said the ship decides who goes home. [ Okay yeah he realizes in retrospect how dumb that sounds but seemed like a good idea at the time. ]

[A bit of a shrug. He actually is rather freaked out by some more recent things when it comes to the Tranquility, but he probably shouldn't get into that right now.]

More or less. Can't say I know how or why, though.

[ He hasn't quite grasped the situation yet. It's still like a bad dream or some weird consequence of a horror video game. ]

So people just wake up in those weird slime containers and are stuck here until this asshole ship decides you can go?

[He just nods. That's exactly what it's like.]

It's really weird and messed up, I know.

...You sure I can't just beat the ship until it sends us home?

[ Because this ship is a dick! ]

[blinkblink. There's a bit of a smirk at his lips.]

Yeah, positive.

I'm still rather new as well, but it can be rather dangerous here. It's best to listen when those who've been here longer make their announcements.

[ See this face? This is the face of a guy who doesn't like listening to authority figures who aren't Kusanagi or Mikoto. ]

Che... I can handle dangerous well enough with being told what to do.

[Shrugs]

Do what you want, really! Don't come freaked out when you almost get eaten by a space monster. >3>

D'you have to be so loud about it, though.

Why would I be quiet after I've been kidnapped?!

Erm, why would you've been kidnapped. I mean really, get over yourself.

Like you'd understand!

I understand just fine, cheers. Prolly more than you do, at this point.

So what d'you call waking up on some creepy spaceship? A vacation? Sounds like kidnapping to me.

Kidnapping requires someone to kidnap you, don't it. Not that I'm saying it's not a fuckup, because it is. Just one lacking in malicious intent.

So all those messages about people dying isn't malicious? Killings aren't something without malicious intent.

Erm, I dunno if I'd say they're killings. Kinda more like ... accidents. This place is dangerous. There's wild stuff out there, waiting.

[ welcome to the tranquility. ]

[ Stop the ride he wants to get off. ]

This place is fucked up if stuff like that the usual.

Yeah, it is. It's a hellhole that we're all trapped in. But none of us are getting to pick when we go home and you don't see us crying over it, so grab your bollocks and man up.

I don't think yelling is going to get you very far, honestly.

[ Congrats Rachel, he's not yelling anymore by virtue of oh shit it's a girl ]

What the hell else am I supposed t'do?

[ oh, hey, that's both nice and surprising. Rachel smiles tentatively. ]

Well, if you haven't read the FAQ that was posted on the network a few days ago, that would be a good place to start. [ a beat ] It's incredibly dangerous here on the [ this is surreal and almost unsettling to say ] spaceship, so charging forward — armed with nothing but your, admittedly, impressive vocal chords — seems reckless. I'm fairly certain everyone can see messages like yours, and recent happenings lead me to believe that not everyone here is friendly. Becoming informed and proceeding with caution accordingly is the best course of action, if you ask me.

I'm armed just fine. And I don't care who's got a problem with me asking how I get home so long as I can figure out how.

[ A pause ] So that stupid wall of text was actually important?

Very important. You should at least skim it.

[ But reading stuff is really boring, don't you get it Rachel. ]

...Any areas I should skim in particular?

The entry about the smiley face is definitely a must.

Edited 2013-01-16 16:48 (UTC)

What's so dangerous about a smiley face? It's just a stupid fucking symbol.

And what one tattoo would that be?

[ He tugs on his shirt collar to reveal his Homra tattoo. He's really proud of it okay. ]

This one! I don't need some bullshit set of numbers!

[Noah studies it, clearly interested. It has an nice symmetry to it, good placement. All from the point of view of an artist, of course, since he doesn't know what it means.]

It's quite nice. I agree about the numbers, but you'll find that they're useful in their own way.

[ Okay Noah you've gotten some approval for paying a compliment to the tattoo. It also earns a calmer less shouty voice. ]

Like how?

[Good! Maybe it'll help make up for Cillian's sharpness.]

It tells you where your room is, and acts as your key. I hope you'll find things comfortable enough.

[ So that's why that room opened up for him even without a key. ]

Well, it ain't my apartment back home.

I'm sure it's not. And where is home?

Shizume City, in Japan.

Japan! Now there's someplace I'd like to visit just once more.

You're saying bad words!

So what?

[ Sorry Cid, he doesn't see the problem. ]

People are gonna get mad if you say them. Sara does.
