[ things are wonky. lights aren’t working as they should, they flicker from time to time. everything is … obviously not as it should be. and the same could be said for her, though she’s alone in her cabin on the third floor. ]

Prometheus? Pandorum? Sunshine? Any of those sound familiar to anyone here? Usually when people end up in space, things get bad. Like. Bad.

[ Oblivious Devil is oblivious. ]

Prometheus is a terrible film and Ridley Scott should be ashamed for ruining his own franchise like that. The only acceptable sequel to Alien is Aliens.

[devilsheel]

[ okay, yes, she’ll squint at the un for a moment or two. moving on. ]

That’s actually a terrible opinion. And an insult to Fassbender. You should be ashamed.

[dealwiththe]

“Shame” simply isn’t in my vocabulary, so I’ll just say it: Fassbender is overrated, though surprisingly well-cast as a *robot*.

[ Ahhh it’s nice to talk about dumb, familiar things with someone again. It’s been a long time!!! ]

[devilsheel]

Maybe you think he’s overrated because you might be jealous of him? Insecurities?

I mean yeah, he’s good looking. For sure.

[dealwiththe]

[ Oh no you did not! He immediately switches to video! Because this needs visual evidence!

He looks skeptical, one eyebrow raised. ]

Do I look like I’ve got anything to be insecure about?

Is this one of those pop culture reference things?

[devilsheel]

A weak one, yeah. I’m guessing you’re not familiar with any of those films.

[albatrossomen]

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with any. I never realized what a problem that would become!

As for the bad you're not entirely wrong? Mostly it's just boring.

[devilsheel]

I wouldn’t call it a problem. There are some places around the world where they don’t have access to films or TVs or even internet to watch from. You aren’t alone.

Oh. Have you been up here in space long? I guess I consider it bad because I’m not able to uh speak?

So. That’s a new. Bad. Thing.?

[albatrossomen]

That is kind of you to say.

I have been on this voyage for I believe several months now. Time is a bit difficult to track without a solar cycle to rely on.

Oh, you too? I think another has recently been stricken with something similar. We seem to be currently experiencing some anomalous activity, if the past is anything to go by it should correct itself before too terribly long. If you are concerned there is a fully stocked infirmary on board.

[No, Ella doesn't have any idea this is Chloe, she's just jumping in cause you know: movies.]

Oh man, dude, you are missing thee [Yep, it's thee.] quintessential space horror movie there in Event Horizon, though. Like you wanna talk things in space going prettttttttty badly.

text then video

[devilsheel]

[ ELLA? Shit. ]

Ella? Ella, it's me.

[ The video is enabled as she then appears, offers a small wave.]

[anormie]

[Ella's eyes go wide, and she almost screams.]

Chloe! Oh my god, where are you? I'd thought I'd never see you again. I mean, Lucifer called and said you were safe, but damn girl! Don't ever get kidnapped again! Where are you so I can hug you?!

[devilsheel]

[ In usual Ella-fashion, nothing of what she said makes sense. Chloe tilts her head and then makes a face, trying to piece it all together. In the end she waves her hands.

She gets to typing … ]

I was kidnapped? I’m in my room right now. Lucifer is coming over. I think.

Who would be dumb enough to kidnap me???

[anormie]

[There's a lot that Ella would agree with about someone being stupid enough to do that to Chloe like she wouldn't be found but that's not the point right now. Instead, Ella is just gonna give her bestie a rather big grin (it's definitely the hashtag deckerstar grin) and raises her thumb.]

Good! I'll talk to you guys after.

[Please finally be on the same page, Chloe. Please. Hashtag deckerstar dreams are riding on this.]

There's some times when it ends up okay though. Like Galaxy Quest.

[devilsheel]

Sometimes. Not always. But I guess we could be more optimistic here.

[11calls]

It's been kind of a mixed bag so far. There's been some awesome planets, and there's been some terrible ones. [Alex can't hide the shiver.] But at least Navi isn't trying to kill us. They're trying to get us home.

[devilsheel]

I’m not surprised to hear that. About the planets. Either aliens are trying to kill you, or they just want to be friends. Weird that you say Navi is trying to get us home. I was kind of in the middle of something important. Should’ve just kept me there where I was needed.

[11calls]

Unfortunately, it's not a choice that they made on purpose. It just kind of happens, but yeah, I definitely have things at home that I need to do too. I think that's one thing that all of us have in common.

[Hesitant:] Uhm, how bad are we talking here? And what's the sun got to do with it?

text; un: cherry

[devilsheel]

How bad? Bad. Like, death-bad. As for the sun, that's just the name of the movie. But the sun is dying and there's a crew that's put together to try and save it. Or reignited it. Something like that. Earth was freezing over.

Hopefully that's not the case with us being on this ship.

... My sun was well before I woke up here. I hope your worries prove to be just that. When the lesser moon fell on my home five years ago, it... took almost everything.

[devilsheel]

You had a moon crash into your planet?

I'm. So sorry.

sorry for the lateness

[watchfulbalance]

It's... Well, I can't say it's alright. The Garleans made Dalamud fall in their conquest for Eorzea, when a Primal emerged from within and rained destruction on us all. The Warriors of Light are the only reason enough remained for us to pick up the pieces.

I didn't go to war with my ma' that day. I stayed behind to work the docks. I'm grateful my parents survived... I apologize. I don't mean to dampen the mood so.
