One New Notification!

[airlockedmods]

[About a day after Cece's message arrives, another small blip! cuts its way through whatever conversations the Airlocked! survivors might be having. But it isn't happening in the space limo this time - it's on the Temerity proper. Some of you are more acquainted with the computer system here, so you should know what that sound means.

You have new Spitter messages!]

Comments

[cyan_maid]

[Oh, Jane does know the computer system well. Providing Junpei isn't hogging the damned thing today, she'll be checking on that blip from Spitter. How many messages do we have?]

[airlockedmods]

[You have 3 new DMs! Open them?]

[cyan_maid]

[Yes, let's start with the oldest message first.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Hopefully it's nothing (ahem) personal, because Jane now has a curious princess peering over her shoulder.]

[airlockedmods]

[They're all part of the same conversation thread, it seems, so you can view them all at once!]

[serrata]

[ does Yuuri count as a proxy royal at this point?? Either way, here she is as well. ]

Oh, is it Cece-chan again?

[everylittlesecret]

[So. Uhm. Someone was asleep this whole time. Just gonna peek in and wonder why the fuck people are all standing over a computer for. Don't mind her.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Oh, hey, Aneki. We're gonna do something stupid. You in?

[everylittlesecret]

[.......]

Does it get us out off this bucket of bolts for a few hours? Then yes. Sign me the fuck up.

SPITTER

[airlockedmods]

[Blip! Looks like there's an update in the Spitter DM thread.]

Yeah, you too.
Explains what happened to them, I guess maybe???
God they've had them for days

[cyan_maid]

[...fuck Jane running]

For real???
Oh God, and we've been so distracted lately! Dammit!
I haven't even checked the webisodes.
Oh God, I guess I'm doing that later tonight.
How could it be possible? Any ideas?

[airlockedmods]

What seriously?
This has been going on, all the fans are going nuts
Let's see
Max vanished a week ago, then Bolton the day after
Then Lightning and Finn
Dunno, they could've just unplugged them? Cece took off with the last group but who knows what happened with that

[cyan_maid]

It's complicated.
But now I feel foolish for not keeping up! I kept up with the last "season" so closely...maybe I've just been worn out.

[Yeah no maybe don't tell him we have R2's survivor pool just yet...later, once they're okay with someone else knowing.]

If they were JUST unplugged, would they survive? It has to be more of a process than that.
Max's body alone probably thinks he's been dead for, what, almost two years??
Ugh I don't know.
I'm so mad now.
But thank you, Jaycee, thank you SO much for tipping us off.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Hey, this is one of the new guys. Nice to meet you.
Has IG7 hosted events like this for previous season? I heard about the convention, but that was fan-organized, right?

[airlockedmods]

Wait what new guys

[No one told Jaycee the survivors had all met up]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Uh
One of the... new... members of the club. Just got into it this season. That's why I don't know much about the fandom before now.

MEANWHILE IN THE FUTURE

[daughterofthemark]

[Well. Discussion happened, decisions good and bad alike were made, and now nine survivors have rolled out to try to get into the convention center, hopefully by some method that doesn't involve making headlines.

That leaves ten people still holed up on the Temerity.

One of them is a princess who now finds herself with roughly 450% more nervous energy than she knows what to do with, and as such can be found pacing all over the ship.]

[refusedtoleave]

[Natsuhi had mostly 'settled' in one of the chairs on the bridge, wringing her hands...

She really felt useless right now.

But she is paying attention to as much as she can. Looking over at every noise she hears. So for a lot of that time she's looking at Arianna. All those footsteps.

The more you move, the more focused the glare gets.]

[daughterofthemark]

[It takes Arianna a while to notice. She's nervous, and not paying much attention to her surroundings. But eventually, she happens to look in the right direction.]

...Dame Natsuhi?

[refusedtoleave]

What are you doing? We'll end up with a hole in the floor...

[It's not a yell, but it's certainly sharper than necessary.]

[everylittlesecret]

[Nari is sufficiently bored enough that she's going to make a game of Arianna going back and forth. And plus a total test of how much of her abilities are still blocked.

So she makes it snow whenever the princess passes her to see if the purple haired girl notices the sudden cold she walks through. If not, it'll keep happening till the girl is literally walking through a small snow drift.

Anyone else around can feel free to make comments on this because damn. Random snow in a spaceship? That's not normal.]

[daughterofthemark]

[The first time, Arianna stops, and glances around, expecting to see an open door.

...huh. That was weird. She continues walking.

She reacts the same way the second time. The third time, she doesn't start pacing again. Instead, she peers at the nearby wall. Are you hiding a vent, or something...?]

[everylittlesecret]

[..... Arianna you are so cute. Nari can't help but giggle a little at this reaction.]

Looking for something?

[refusedtoleave]

[Her shoulders hunch up, and she just stares at the snow for a moment...

Then eventually she looks up at Nari.]

...I thought you had the fire powers? [What this?]

[everylittlesecret]

....... [She snaps her fingers, a small flame appearing on her thumb like a lighter.]

I'm an elementalist. Else I'd be the Champion Fire User.
