the mock mingle

[An hour ago you woke up in a bed that wasn't yours, awakened by a chirpy, feminine voice coming from the device on your non-dominant arm. The voice cheerfully requests that you exit your sleeping quarters and to please make your way to the the main deck of the ship for a debriefing on your circumstances.

It was around this time you might have noticed the clothes you last remember wearing are gone and replaced with this little number. If you take a moment to check out the Personal Identification Program on your arm, you'll find a touch screen with a few icons that lead to a series of 21 profiles and a series of apps that lead to note-taking functions and a number of customization appearance screens. The profiles all contain a photo of each Champion, their name and title, their age, species and world of origin.

As you stumbled out of your chrome-y quarters (into an equally chrome-y hallway), with every step the floor lights up under your feet, illuminating the dark ship a little at a time. On one side of the hallway are a series of mechanical doors with screen pads embedded on the walls next to them. A quick flash of your PIP will open them for you without hassle. On the opposite side of the hallway are a long string of windows showing nothing but vast amounts of stars and the deep, dark blackness of deep space. Once you reach the end of the hallway you'll find a large central living space with 20 other people, the same people from the profiles, either there already or filing in along with you. Floating well above everyone's heads in the middle of the room is a large computer screen. Once everyone piled in, the screen blinked to life and the same voice from your PIPs greeted you in the same peppy tone from before.

The voice introduced herself as the Champion Excellence Control Environment or C.E.C.E. before welcoming you to the Deep Space Champion Excellence Program, explaining that you were selected for this program based on being the best in your particular field in your particular world, hence the title of "Champion". In this program you will be expected to live communally together here on the ship for as long as possible. The ship is fully-functional and fully-stocked for an extended stay.

Oh? You don't want to stay and participate in the program? That's alright, there's an easy fix to that! All you have to do is kill one of your fellow Champions and not get caught. That is easy enough, right? Right.

When the debriefing is complete, the screen dims but doesn't turn off completely. If need be C.E.C.E. is available to answer any more questions you have throughout the week. For now, you're free to explore the ship as you like. There's the communal dining hall, a zero gravity room, a kitchen, a holo deck, the central living area and the personal quarters everyone woke up in.

Go make some friends, dears, you may be here a while.]

But some of these abilities are strange. I am not an angel. Why do they say that and then question it?

A best-selling author. April Wexler. It became long-term, actually.

[His ring finger feels so bare saying that.]

Kerurumin has been dehydrated and pressed into bars for your convenience. [She sounds like she's repeating something from a commercial.] Unfortunately, that doesn't improve the taste.
humanitarianherbalist: ({Speaking})

[personal profile] humanitarianherbalist 2017-01-10 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. Still, at least they are not as cowardly or quick to submit as some of the ones I know. I find those types of humans much more pleasant to be around. [There is a hint of both admiration and desire in his voice.]

[ Holy shit is that a real life Sonic the Hedgehog. He's not on drugs or anything, as far he knows,so. This is real. (Let me know if it's OK to vaguely 4th wall by calling him Sonic.)

Barney just stares while Shadow runs up and down. This is so weird.

Holy shit.
have_a_heart: Kanade plays the piano (be at peace)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
No. Will they be upset with vandalism?

Kitchen

[personal profile] humanitarianherbalist 2017-01-10 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[The Griffin is lifting one bag of powder in his talon, managing not to spill it for now.]

I do not think this is food. [He leans in closer.] It looks more like spice, but lacks any distinctive smell.
have_a_heart: Kanade linefacing cluelessly. (i don't know why you even bother)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[float. float. float.]

If the whole station became like this, it would be trouble.
misplacedxsheath: (Hmmm...I'll consider it.)

They could be speaking metaphorically. At this point, I wouldn't put it past them to be aware of things about us we don't yet know ourselves, either. Perhaps they're of the uncertain belief you're some manner of messenger. Or, in a more cliché sense, referring to people believing you to be innocent.

Kerurumin sounds like a medication.

[That's probably how it tastes, too. Ricky picks up the "food" and moves it toward her mouth, slowly at first, then... slower... and comes entirely to a stop halfway up. Instead of actually opening her mouth, she's frowning. She's hungry, but... can she really will herself to eat this...]

Its not vandalism if its for a good cause.

[Probably. But he's fine with taking that chance.]

[Hey Ricky, meet this creature doing the same thing you are. He seems to be trying more to test his claws against the various metals, though.]

Ah. Greetings. Are you also searching for an escape route?
have_a_heart: Kanade dodging and attacking. (instant reflex)

[personal profile] have_a_heart 2017-01-10 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Some people call me an angel. A literal one. But I am not. The profiles even say, "Human."

[nod]

I think we should all learn how to maneuver like this, just in case.

[ Did the title not clue you in, buddy.

Barney's smile sours a bit at the news, but then Finley doesn't have a ring on, so that's points in his favor. I'm so sorry, maybe at a later canon point he'll give you a monogamy-five, but not today.
]

Not bad. Could be worse. [ His smile is back, don't worry. ] Was she hot?
misplacedxsheath: (Hmmm...I'll consider it.)

[personal profile] misplacedxsheath 2017-01-10 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
It seems strange that your title would be based on a misconception, but it may be in reference to others' perceptions of you.

Damn right they do, this is gonna be legendary!

Still is. Among other things.

Revive? [What. Dead people stay dead.] That's nonsense.

[She says before she tips the bag she's been mixing in back and eats all eight thousand supposed calories. They're in space. It'll burn off. Probably. That's totally how space works, right?]

[Ricky's a little less surprised than some might be... although considering they all saw each other earlier when they met C.E.C.E., she probably doesn't get much credit for that.]

It would be nice to find one, but I'm just mapping out the area.

CECE

[The Griffin tugs a bit at the suit he's been somehow forced into.] What is the purpose of this? [He looks irritated.]

Zero gravity room

[The Griffin has wings, but that actually makes things worse in here. They don't really work right in this kind of gravity, so he's kind of...floating in the middle of the room and flapping desperately. While trying to keep a composed expression.]

Everywhere

[Well, the Griffin isn't going to take this imprisonment lying down. He's going to be testing the strength of his claws against all the metal surfaces he can find. He's not going to be very successful, but maybe someone should stop him before he does damage something delicate.]

Don't bother, they don't have any booze.

[ That's obviously what he's looking for right? ]
