I finally see what you all were talking about with the whole waking up on the ship thing.

[Pietro looks tense, but he's dressed, at least. However, the uniform is unfamiliar. He's clearly still inside the ship.]

But can someone tell me why my powers aren't working?!

[His voice climbs a few octaves closer to panic at the end.]

wrench_and_ruffles

[Kaylee's trying very hard to stay calm. Stress is bad for the baby. Which really makes all this lousy timing.

So she's trying to deal with this entire situation by the method she's learned from many of her nearest and dearest.]

You know. My favourite thing about Verdana is all the stuff that happened in Mayfield that doesn't happen here. You could count on people to actually stay the same person from day to day. I promise, I am plenty grateful already, I didn't need the reminder.

[She keeps reminding herself that Luke and everybody else will be back to normal sooner or later. But it's not terribly comforting right now.]

I am too hormonal to deal with this.

[She nearly ends the transmission there, but then she remembers one more thing. Luke was supposed to pick things up on his way home from work. And now she's feeling even worse than before.]

Could... somebody pick me up some ginger and crackers? Please?

cantcatchme

[Pietro's looking a bit more clean-cut than he has been lately (he's been letting his hair grow out a little these past few months). He also appears confused, bordering on annoyed. The background is clearly a section of Poseidon, from high up. He appears to be on a tall building.]

Quicksilver here. Wherever here is. It's sure as hell not HQ, and I'm definitely not wearing my clothes. [Yes, he is. He made them himself, even.] And this isn't my communicator. What gives? Scarlet Witch? Cap? Anybody copy? [He looks away, grumbling the last part just loudly enough for the mic to pick up.] Fuck, I'd take Clint if he could tell me what the hell's going on.

iwanttosettheworldonfire

[Indrani's wearing one of Pietro's robes, which looks like a normal enough item of clothing to her Wastelander eyes. The one she's picked is a bit big for her, and her communicator's clearly propped on something and pointed at her while she makes sure it'll stay on.]

So this is pretty cool. Good job, uh, clothes guy.

[She's heard enough complaints about being stuck naked that she's sympathetic, even if it's her first time through the wringer.]

Did I miss anything fun? Also, did we win? And did someone maybe get my guns? I like my guns.

cantcatchme

[Ever since this little exchange, Pietro's been pretty busy with a personal project.]

[After all, clearly no one else was going to step forward and deal with this obviously pressing problem.]

[He's clearly on board Salvation, next to a pile of... laundry? And somehow managing to look both incredibly smug and a little perturbed. He puts his hands on his hips and smirks at the camera.]

You're welcome.

[He sweeps a robe out of the pile - at normal speed, of course. It's clearly made with two different types of fabric, but at least it looks well put together.]

I know we don't all exactly follow the "one size fits all" demographic [yes, he does use air quotes] - so I used a couple different patterns. Should fit most of us here, unless someone shows up who's as big as Wing was. Only, y'know, wears clothes.

There's some pants, too. You're on your own for shoes, but at least no one's going to be running around this place naked anymore. There's a whole mess of them.

And people'd better freaking return them when they're done! I've got better things to do than sew new ones every week.

[Now to wait for the praise and admiration. Damn, he's good.]

nodavinci

[The message goes out Friday morning, not too long after Tony gets this e-mail.]

Pepper's out of commission. If you had business arrangements, get in touch.

( Private message to Piper )

( Private Message to Kaylee and Inara )

professorwolf

[Lyall's showing his face again, this morning, before he heads off back to the Old City for the work-week. The background is the common room of the Flop, just inside. He clears his throat, almost as if he isn't entirely sure how to begin, but he manages well enough.]

I was thinking that some of us have lost track of our numbers. We keep appearing and disappearing, returning to pods or vanishing off on adventures. I was hoping that perhaps we could get a headcount.

[He holds up a clipboard.]

Or rather, I could, and I'd share it with the network as a whole, since I'm doing the work as it is. In a more electronic form, I assure you, this--

[He taps the clipboard, then sets it down again.]

--is just for myself. I am a bit old-fashioned still, I fear. If everyone still about could check in, I would appreciate it. I'm in the lobby of the Flop, if anyone would prefer to come calling rather than speak here. I'll be here until sundown, though I may be back after a day or two, as well.

Thank you, everyone.

[And he signs off, waiting for, he hopes, people to give him a buzz. He hopes. He's not too sure about all this, but he's giving it a shot.]

cantcatchme

[Pietro is leaning back in a chair, communicator clearly propped on a table or something to shoot the video.]

So, now that I'm back and everything's all... civilized again, I thought I'd give this going legit thing a try. You know. For the laughs.

To make this simple, I'm the fastest guy around. You need something delivered? I'm who you want. I can get things where they need to be faster than anything this place offers, and more... heh, shall we say discreetly, too?

I'm easy to find. Through the Network or here. I live with Wagner and Tolansky. My rates are flexible. We'll talk.

catchingflies

[This is a surprisingly regular occurrence, it seems like: something crazy happens with the ship, Todd Tolansky is stuck there and makes a panicked network post in a call for help. This time, though, he's been gone a week or so, so it may surprise a few people.

But here he is, perched on his now-open pod with his communicator in hand looking wild-eyed into the camera. The alarm and flashing lights are obvious in the background, and he has to almost yell over the sound of them.]

Whatever just happened, I totally didn't do it, I swear! I just woke up, okay? I didn't do nothin'!

Somebody come get me outta here, I don't wanna be stuck here again!

[He'll deal with the "I just wound up in a pod again" aspects when the ship isn't telling him it's dispatching security. Whatever dispatching means. He hasn't a clue where "corridor 83-Alpha" is, after all. At the recording warning, he adds, obviously to the air rather than the people on the video:]

Shut up, you stupid ship! I didn't do nothin' and you got no security, anyway!

[Then the feed cuts off.]

cantcatchme

[The voice coming over the communicator is strained, high-pitched, and very familiar]

Wagner? Wagner! Tell me you have an explanation for what's going on?

[He can't get ahold of Tolansky, and he sure as hell doesn't remember how he wound up in a pod]

girlworthfighting

All who can hear this, you will be so good as to grant me a moment of your time to listen. My message is both of stern significance and brief.

For those who've not yet met me or don't know my voice, my name is Fa Mulan. In the land I come from I am a warrior of great renown, and no small amount of skill. [She rarely ever boasts like this, so it must be important - and not about her.] The young prince and novice sorcerer known as Loki Odinson is under my protection. I know there are some of you who may take issue with his presence, or wish him harm for another unvoiced reason. But I care not what these reasons are. They are irrelevant to me, and to the oath I've taken upon my name and honor.

I don't seek out battle with this young man's would-be enemies. But if you make quarrel with him, then you will quarrel with me. That is the way of it.

I expect when I return from the short journey I am undertaking I will find Loki perfectly safe and unbothered. If not, then any who have failed to heed this warning will answer to me.

[There's a pause and then, in a softer tone, she begins as if almost in a separate message.]

Jack Frost, will you be so obliging as to allow me to request of you to keep an eye on him while I am gone?

catchingflies

[The shot opens on a slightly harried-looking Todd, who is still grinning a little bit, despite looking harried.]

Hey, so. Anybody got any ideas on how best to feed something like, uh... these?

[And now the camera swings aside to show two roly-poly andrewsarchus cubs, each about the size of a sheepdog, one tawny with darker stripes and one dark with lighter brindling. They're within a circled fence made of broken tree branches and rocks, but it looks like they might climb out at any minute. It's not a very tall fence.]

I've been tryin' birds and frogs and fish. And bugs, too, since that's what I'm best at, yo. Even tried some rice, but they didn't like that so much. Anybody know somethin' that'll stuff their faces for more than a couple hours? And, uh, maybe some better way of holding 'em in....

genoshas_general

Wanda is hardly happy to find herself naked in a pod. She’s even less happy that this is the second time in six weeks she’s found herself in an alien environment without prior warning.]

[She’s dressed now, though, and she’s got her communicator on. She’s not exactly smiling, but she looks much further from smashing everything in sight than she feels]

This is getting ridiculous. I’m the Scarlet Witch. Does that mean anything to anybody? [That echoes in her ears for a few seconds before she realizes how stuck up it sounds.] That’s not what I meant. [deep breath]

What I mean is: My name is Wanda Maximoff. I’m a mutant. From Genosha. [She takes another look around her surroundings.] Which is a country on Earth. I… [Wanda does not have much experience socializing outside an island nation ruled by her father, and her discomfort as she tries to figure out what a proper greeting sounds like is obvious.] Who else was abducted by aliens? [It’s a start]

catchingflies

[Both Pietro and Kurt get voice messages left on their phones in the late afternoon on Sunday. They're both pretty much identical, too.]

Hey, uh. It's the Toad. You okay? We spotted some light comin' from your way and, uh, just wanted to check in. Call me back.

[And then he hangs up. And sits by the phone all night. He's worried, okay?]

damn_it_jim

[There's no video for this, but the background noise is clearly a hospital, between the intercom pages and the general noise of too few healthy people trying to treat too many sick. Bones is back in his native element, it seems.]

This is Dr. McCoy. We've got some new directions on this disease outbreak, but they aren't all that pleasant. This is Yersinia pestis that we're dealing with -- the Black Plague, bring out your dead, all that medieval ghoulishness. Not being medieval, however, we have antibiotics and can treat the plague if you're not an idiot and don't try to tough this out. If you're running a fever, if you've got a wet cough, if you've got chest pain and can't breath and your muscles feel like fire, get to the hospital. We can't keep you unless you're on death's door, but we can give you drugs and send you home to recover. Take the full dose, even when you start feeling better, or I'll personally put a boot up your ass if you cause antibiotic resistant plague because you can't follow simple instructions.

Unfortunately, you won't likely be out of the woods yet. This isn't garden variety plague, some geniuses genetically modified it. I don't know which strain they're working with yet, but I do know that they engineered a second stage, likely viral, into the Yersinia bacterium. Taking the antibiotics to treat plague will likely let it into your system all the faster, and isn't that just a pretty little paradox?

Take the antibiotics anyway. Treating whatever this second stage is will be harder. We're going to do it, because no long-dead madmen are winning this one on my watch, but until we can tailor an antiviral, your best shot is to cure the plague as quickly as you can, and save your body's immune response and reserves for fighting off whatever this is the old fashioned way.

And that brings me to my final point...

[He pauses then, as if aware of just how potentially bad an idea this is, before shoving on ahead anyway.]

You paranoid bastards behind the dome. I know you've eavesdropped in the past, so listen to this now. I know that anybody keeping a force dome running with that much power has to have a higher level of technology than what we're suffering with out here. Give me access to a lab, and I can end this. We've got gear that can keep me isolated from you. If you really are superior to the rabble out here, then prove it. Find some common humanity and let me put an end to this plague.

cantcatchme

[Compared to the last time he was on the network, Pietro looks like a million bucks. A skinny, pale million bucks, maybe, but he's much less sickly. And it even looks like he's trimmed his hair at some point. Just like Quicksilver to prioritize style when he's recovering from near-death.

His expression, however, is flat, cold, and carefully dispassionate. And the background is definitely inside the ship.]

I don't know if anyone's left who actually cares, but Erik's gone. Or asleep, or whatever. He's in a pod, anyway.

[He knocks on the pod he's standing next to.]

He ditched us. Can't say I'm surprised.

Locked to the 'Brotherhood' - yes, this includes Kurt and Hope

So I guess we're out a sponsor. But Mister Mutant Solidarity did have a point. We should still stick together, when we can.

cantcatchme

[Yeah, it's video. Pietro has gotten to the point where he doesn't care that he looks like crap. And that's saying a lot, if you ask anyone who knows him. He's deathly pale, his hair a complete mess, and is looking far too thin. He hasn't even bothered to lock this to the person he's trying to reach.]

Wherethehellareyou?

[Okay, he's pissed]

What, you think that hey, everyone's getting sick, so why not just fuckoff?! Classy, Erik. When something starts going wrong you just turn your back on it, huh? Leaving me to take the blame and deal with your shit again? Or should I call you father, because you're sureashell acting like him!

[He breaks off in a harsh coughing fit]

Yeah, I'm sick! I might even be dying. Do you even care?

[He's shaking now. Angry, hurt, scared, just needing to lash out at someone. Hey, at least he's out of the denial phase?]

lehnsherr

[he doesn't need to check with jocelyn to be sure. the first charles left a while ago; but while erik would prefer to have him here, he knows it's better this way. charles had missed his sister too much. the second one had only just disappeared in the past week, and that's what finally prompted him to send this message.

certain teenagers deserved to know.]

Both Charles Xavier's are gone. Again.

[locked to hope summers]

That was the third that I've met here. Five total, and I missed my own.

[the message gets sent like that, at first. but a few minutes later, a second is attached to it]

I need your help again.

[be proud? at least he's asking for it this time]

galacticheroine

[Shepard's spent some time poking around the ship before she tries to contact outside, because it's just plain weird to end up on an alien ship out of the blue, even for her.]

This is Commander Shepard of the SSV Normandy, Alliance Navy. I'm requesting any information available on the current status and location of my ship and crew. Last known location was the planet Mars in the Sol System, but something seems to have... gone wrong.

[which is the nicest way she can think of putting it.]

Barring any of that, I'd settle for my own location because even that seems like too much to ask from my hardsuit NAV.

cantcatchme

[Pietro's wearing a new grey, blue, and white uniform and trying to look authoritative and/or menacing.]

Just so we're all on the same page here...

From now on, anyone who messes with Toad or Hope is also messing with me. And I don't plan on letting anyone off lightly.

The annoying blue muppet's on his own, though. If he's even figured out how to work these things yet.

[Locked to Toad and Hope]

You two, get over here. We need to talk.

[He moves the camera to show that he's in a small, empty building, then shows them the view from the window. It's not far from the Flop.]
