[ INDIVIDUAL MESSAGES SENT TO: ERIK LEHNSHERR & JIM KIRK & NATASHA ROMANOFF & "AMERICA". ]

I don't know if you were involved with... everything, but I just- Tell me you're okay? And what happened? Are passengers really starting to turn against each other?

[Someone locked herself in her room once she caught wind of all the talk about mutiny, which she isn't proud of, but what's done is done. Now she's just worried about her friends. :c And basically I just made this hackable in case anyone wants to see the blue girl being blue, or talk to her about what exactly happened.]

[ .... Erik. For a moment he frowns at that, having been so used to giving out his other name. But this is Raven, and Erik instinctively trusts her. ]

You should know me better than that. [ He cracks a soft smile at that, just barely visible before he sobers up. ]

A failed attempt at a mutiny just to bring us all home. Needless to say it failed.

Know you better than to think you'd get involved in something like that? Hmmm. [Missing the point on purpose, yes. But she's smiling, so.]

Why would- I mean, what did get accomplished? Anything?

[swagneto]

[ He sees what you're doing there, Raven. But you really should; Erik's been involved in everything just because. ] You know I'd never do anything unless I was personally invested. [ Or something along those lines, he's teasing just as much as you right now. ]

If anything, I expect Kirk and Spock have proven themselves unintentional ringleaders of the entire ship and -- [ Erik pauses momentarily, because fuck these hideous encryption he's not comfortable with. ]

Could we talk in person?

video | terribly encrypted at 50%

[darkholme]

I'm not sure I've met Spock... [But now she wants to~!]

And, um. Yeah, of course we can. [Now she just thinks something is wrong, way to go, Lehnsherr.] Should I head your way?

video | terribly encrypted at 50%

[swagneto]

You'd like him, I expect.

[ And by that, not at all. Charles was tolerable for Raven he can only imagine what Spock must seem to her, but that's a conversation for another day. ]

My room, if you don't mind. It's easier in person than worrying information gets leaked.

[ There's a good chance that gets leaked out in public -- hi Aberdeen -- but he'd rather continue it somewhere where the chance is far far lower. ]

video | terribly encrypted at 50% /// action!

[darkholme]

[This is Raven being a tiny bit sheepish because she's not nearly as cautious as Erik about this stuff. But alright, she'll go with it.]

I'll come by in a few minutes. Just wanna wait to hear back from a couple others before I shut off my comm.

-----

[And, just as promised, she's knocking on his door about 15 minutes after that last message.]

action!

[swagneto]

[ Which is fine and all, because Erik wasn't doing anything interesting to begin with besides just loitering. Sitting up, he snaps his fingers to let the door open; one of the few things he found he could do in the meantime, when everything else had failed. ]

Everything go alright?

action!

[darkholme]

[Raven grins when the door opens for her, and yet again she finds herself a little jealous of Erik's mutation. The subtlety of it, at least. While also being not-very-subtle at all. Hm.]

I think so, yeah. Heard back from everyone I expected to, anyway. [Minus the fact that someone broke her encryption. To tell Erik that, or not to tell him. That is the question. The last thing she needed to do was add to his suspicion of... everyone here, so. Maybe not. Though it's probably telling that she's hiding again, blonde curls and all.

She flops down to sit on the edge of his bed, feet still flat on the floor as the rest of her levels out to lay down there.]

So did you get to go all Magneto on anyone? [Yes, let's make light of the situation that's actually kind of freaking her out. Best idea. She'll even hold her hands out in front of her, up towards the ceiling, and wiggle her fingers.] Unless the passengers trying to take over were mutants as well? ..You would tell me if I had any reason to worry, right?

There's... alot of tension right now.

video; private;

[darkholme]

Do people really think that fighting will help get us home?

video; private;

[goldshirt]

No. [he shakes his head.] They're impatient and want answers, and some of them think taking charge of this ship will help us get there faster.

video; private;

[darkholme]

Oh. Oh! Well that's-- ambitious. [her tone reads ridiculous/insane/impossible] Are you ever going to tell me if you're actually okay or not? Believe it or not, the tiny video doesn't give me much to work with. [Squinting at it like she's trying to get a better look at him now, hee hee.]

video; private;

[goldshirt]

You could say that again but- [he grins and leans back a little, spreading his arms, though they disappear off the edge of the video.] I'm fine, promise.

video; private;

[darkholme]

You better be.

And I've been told I need to meet Spock. He's a friend of yours, right? From your world too, or..?

video; private;

[goldshirt]

It takes a lot more than a mutiny to knock Jim Kirk out of the running. [he says with a grin; though sobers at the mention of Spock.]

He's- [I am and always have been your friend. the pause is long enough to be noticeable without being awkward.] my first officer, yes.

AUDIO; encryption bumped to about 75%

[widowing]

I'm fine. [ her tone is clipped enough that raven probably won't believe her, but she's telling the truth on that matter, as much as she ever does. ] Certain individuals are getting frustrated and impatient and seem to think that the best way to get answers is to cause chaos that results in innocents getting hurt.

[ it's not quite that simple, but she's not in the mood to be charitable. ]

AUDIO; encryption bumped to about 75%

[darkholme]

And I'm guessing they didn't get what they wanted?

AUDIO; encryption bumped to about 75%

[widowing]

No, he got shot.

[ NOT BY HER, don't worry. ]

text ▒ he would try...because he can

[laufeysons]

It would seem the passengers are beginning to get a little...

Restless.

text ▒ ahhhhhhhhhh hiloki

[darkholme]

[ffffs, Raven's just going to snap into a shift, like the damage isn't already done. Then switch to text as well.]

Has it all been put to rest for now, at least?

text ▒ hiiiiiii raven okok ........... sorry for the spam

[laufeysons]

[ Oh he noticed her shift there, before switching to text. When he first saw her, after hacking through that shoddy encryption, he had a brief moment where he thought she might be...like him. (Jotun.) But upon closer inspection he realized certain differences (yellow eyes instead of red, and the hair—) but he's intrigued nonetheless.

He wouldn't be still talking to her if he weren't. ]

For now, perhaps.
But a relapse is likely [ ... ] inevitable.

[ A beat. And then, because he doesn't feel like beating around the bush, ]

How did you do that?

text ▒ it's okie!

[darkholme]

Do what?

[She, however, does.]

Who's this?

text ▒ ehehe ♥

[laufeysons]

You know what I'm talking about.

[ But he doesn't want to be cross with her. He's still too interested in her and knows that the easiest way to get the answers he wants, from his current vantage point, would be to tone it down. Be cool. ]

Just a concerned fellow passenger. You are not the only non-human on board, as I am sure you know. There are representatives of many different races here, gathered from the far-flung reaches of the universe.

I am merely a [ ... ] researcher, seeking knowledge of these different types of people. Harmless, I assure you.

text ▒ encrypted a bit

[darkholme]

It's a mutation.

[And suddenly she's hit with how much she misses Charles, again. He'd be able to explain much better than she could. However, there's still a part of her that doesn't really want to.]

The last time anyone showed any interest in my mutation, it was quickly followed by a request to have me locked down in a government facility until they could "figure out what to do with me". You understand why I'm hesitant to divulge someone I've never met before, right?

Just be honest - why do you really want to know? If it's for research purposes, I'm not sure I feel like sharing.

text ▒ encrypted a bit more

[laufeysons]

[ Mutation. Genetics is a rather unfamiliar subject to him, but he kind of gets the idea. Or at least he's trying to work it out in his head, rubbing his finger over his bottom lip in thought as he stares at the comm device.

He doesn't know Charles, but if he did he'd probably really want to meet him and...have a chat. ]

I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience, but I assure you my intentions are not at all unsavory. [ A lie. But he's not like those suits she's used to, that's for sure, and as for his intentions, well...they may be unsavory but they're definitely not the same as those of the U.S. government. No, he likes to think much bigger. ]

It's not that kind of research. It's merely for the betterment of my own personal knowledge; I have an inquiring mind. Are you from Earth?
