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.]

[Sorry Barney, your going to suffer her yelling. She's just a little bit annoyed that jewelry she knew she'd been wearing was gone.]
no subject
[ He's actually as upset about this as she is, he's just better at hiding it. Maybe if he had some TVs to break he could feel better about the thought of being kidnapped into outer space, but right now, yelling feels pretty good. ]
Like, it's bad enough that we're here by ourselves and we're in space and we have to kill people or some bullshit?! They seriously had to take our stuff too?
no subject
[She's not expecting answers. But she was wearing earrings. She'd notice someone removing them while she was asleep.]
This whole thing is a ridiculous joke. Why do they think we'd even go along with it?
no subject
[ Barney nods along with Natsuhi's questions. He would like to know these things too, honestly. His suits are so important... ]
Right!? Murder? They steal our stuff, then expect us to kill people? That's messed up!
no subject
[Even if she doesn't have time for that.]
no subject
[ And yet Barney has this nagging worry. His friends might notice he's gone, sure, but how long would it take them to realize he's in trouble? Would his work come looking for him? Would they actually find him in space, if this really is in space somehow? No time for worrying about any of that, obviously, at least comforting(?) Natsuhi can distract him from that. ]
I'm guessing you have plenty of people back home to look for you, huh? Any kids? I've got a couple friends who're probably wondering where I am right now...
no subject
...Yes. A daughter. [The fake bar gets the faintest of smiles.] My husband and her will contact the authorities when they realize I'm missing.
no subject
[ Ooh, a housewife with a kid and she's taken. The challenge intensifies. ]
I bet they'll be glad to hear you're okay.
no subject
They better be alright... I'm not sure how these Overseers took me from the mansion, but they better not have hurt them to do so.
