"Is this thing on? -hey! You've reached Cayde, but either I'm busy or I'm busy. Either way, go ahead and leave a message...or don't. Obviously I won't get back to you if it's the latter. Now how do you turn this thing off- AHA--!"

Ooh! Right, that time of the...year? It's hard keeping track of time in space.

Sounds fun! Gotta admit, the reference is lost on me, but I guess that means I gotta get all fancy or something.

[hotwires]

Right? At least someone does. I just widly guess what approximate time it is.

It's-- ah, do you know goth? Kinda goth style. I wonder if Hashtag has the movies downloaded... we gotta watch them sometime!

[deal_me_in]

I just ask Sundance if I'm really curious. At least this sort of thing's been consistent since my arrival so it's as good a marker as any!

Goth! Know a gal back home that'd probably fit that bill. OH! I am always down for movie night!

[hotwires]

They said it had been two years ago recently, right? I'm extremely not opposed to the amount of parties we have vis-a-vis the amount of galactic threats we stop. Or... start.

[two years... she can legally drink now, which is wild to think about.]

Nice. Follow-up date? Friend date. Whatever you wanna call it.

[deal_me_in]

Agreed! We could probably do for more parties, IMO.

Hey, sounds like a plan to me either way, I'm down.

Action, There and Gone

[ While you were away someone has been in your room.

It doesn't look like this someone has really rifled that much through your possessions. Or stolen anything.

How do you know someone was here? There is a tiny plastic human toy baby perched atop every spare weapon you have in the room. ]

[deal_me_in]

Dang'it.

[Cayde is at least mildly amused that someone's been poking around, or visited anyway. Not that he keeps his treasures in his room, pff, that'd be silly!

...not that it keeps the Exo from taking stock of things. Man, what's he supposed to do with a box full of babies?

Welp, time to visit Ratchet and dump things in his drawer.]

ACTION: A small box outside your door contains a handful of...

[thelordofmisrule]

Action (you are under no obligation to respond to this your character can be 'out')

[ Recently Bass requested some important information. Who... is the strongest Cybertronian on this ship. He received a hot tip that it was 'Shockwave' but also 'not the Senator one'. There were a few thoughts that went through his processor. One... it was really dumb that there were two people here with the SAME NAME. It must get confusing! Two, while he does (surprisingly) know what a Senator is, he has no idea what a Senator looks like. Do they wear signs? Bass guesses probably not.

This leads him to one conclusion: He has to fight BOTH of them to make sure he's actually fighting the strong one.

This leads him to a second conclusion: He has no idea where Shockwave lives. He could ask for direction, ask if anyone knows... but that begs the question... If they know how strong Bass is will they even tell the truth?

There is now one solution: He has to canvas the ship himself and check every inhabited room he comes across.

So there's the backstory. And that's why Bass, armored up in his winged Treble armor (being able to fly covers ground quicker!) is pounding aggressively at your door.

Sorry. ]

Text - FrenziedChaos [Roughly now]

[fenixnpcs]

[It's probably best not to question how they got into the R2's systems again. Or why they waited a monthish.

The fact that this is text makes it near impossible to tell who is who.]

First you better be alive. We don't like word-breakers. (:

You'll wanna practice. We recommend going to Carcoar -a planetoid around a red star- to get exp in how the Hunt works in practice. It opens to the public in about four months. Unless you want to amuse us and go in blind. That'd be super fun for us. :P

Anyway, word on the 'net is Renoih's looking to reward those who stopped Renne from killing Nocri. Lots of bastards coming forward, but none yet have claimed it. Think a few have been executed because they misgendered Renoih. You really don't do that unless you have a deathwish. Mitsuki might be looking too, but we haven't heard anything. :(

You should go for it. You need all the luck in the 'verse given what you lot are.

Dunno what happened to Renne outside she's no longer on the station. Maybe dead? But Eh. She's rich. Probably bought her way out of trouble. We got another Sunstride now though. Zavaih. He's like, mid-tier in the Pride. Eh, he's ok. Not grabby, but still stuck up like ll rich idiots. We think we can train him to be better, though. ;)

Maeb showed up with Clíodhna and like half her retainers in tow a three shifts after you left. Anyway, Maeb pitched a fit over the loss of her property. Apparently, one of the turtlekin eggs held an albino. That's already rare, but being a Yangtze on top of it? That's like super rare and stuff ppl'd pay out the nose for. Cunts.

We don't even want to know where Maeb found those eggs. Last we knew, they were like, either extinct, or fiercely protected. We got money on her killing whoever was looking after them. Poor fuckers. But poor us. She made off with a bunch of stuff in recompense for this after kicking up a stink about its our fault. Fucking entitled bitch. Ain't our fault. Does she know how many ships come in an out every day and now we gotta deal with a bunch of people after us because they shit they wanted was taken by Maeb.

The Cybertronian experts - a chatkin and a jellykin -scyphozoan branch (you can tell by the daemon-orbs)- who showed up were also pissed but whatever. Kaeli took umbrage to them and how they tried to bully there way into shit, so did Rosa, and well. Airlock accidents are fun. (: (we're pretty sure Rosa is a Changeling at this rate.)

Pretty sure the jellykin survived, tho; so be careful if you got chasing whatever that relic was. Scypho's daemons look fragile, but are tougher than ours. Don't help most of them hide 'em, too. And the fragger's claim they came from a water world, but we're pretty sure they mean a gas planet. Wouldn't be the first time translation issues have cropped up.

If you got Q's, we'll answer them, but we can't keep this open forever.

Well, we can, but that'd be rude or something.

[deal_me_in]

Well, hello to you too. How're my favorite twins?

Also, ouch! Have you no faith in me?

Going in blind could be fun but I don't know if I can wait that long for the real thing. I'll make note of this practice zone. It'll be something to do anyway! Say, are there entry rules to the Hunt?

Aw man, there's a reward? What all can you tell me about Renoih? I did manage to get some nice pocket change from Renne before we ratted her out, but I'm pretty sure if she's still around, I'm on her favorites list. Guess it's good she hasn't seen my actual handsome face.

Oh I do love me some juicy gossip. I'm glad that we got to throw a few wrenches into some rich and overly entitled people's plans, that's always fun. This Maeb sure is a piece of work though, yeesh!

I do feel a little bad for the people that ended up in the hotseat for us. Think that'll come back around to bite us in the bud?

[fenixnpcs]

Glad Renne's gone.

You tincans'll be in disguise, but the only entry req is ya've gotta be fine with being shrunk to 7' for about a day and night, and you gotta play nice with any of the pet houmans or whatever the faerekin show off.

[The eyeroll is very much implied.]

Renoih doesn't give rewards lightly, so they'll wanna meet you at least via public vidlink. 'll probably have Nocri there for appearance sakes.

Nah. Dylan's got so much coming and going that clerical errors happen all the time, and even on the highest suppressors, we're still Chaos Talented. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Could be worse. (:

[deal_me_in]

That's still more of a gain for me. Can I stay 6' instead? Oh yeah, ftr (is that what kids use these days?) I'm not Cybertronian.

Ooh, a video call! Hmmm...

[fenixnpcs]

Oh la la a collaborator~. Same thing to those in charge re: Blacklisteds.

'ftr' is right.

You have Q's about the vidlink. Ask. We've seen a few from various VIPs.

[deal_me_in]

Well that's rude. I'm much more handsome!

So what's the proper way to address Renoih?

[fenixnpcs]

Your disguise was kissable at best. Cute, but nothing worth tapping.

Councilor Renoih or Councilmember Renoih. Or just the title. Avoid gendered titles. We like you alive~.

Nocri is Lord Nocri, his wives are Ladys.

[deal_me_in]

I don't think Chalians are my thing. I do have a nice Viperkin disguise I could dust off. Kinda famous, maybe you've read my books. Crown Station was a while ago, maybe it'll do some good to put in another appearance somewhere.

Okay, got it. And what's Renoih's opinion on Cybertronians? And Nocri's, I guess.

Look. Yyou sigh our comix collection and get a selfie, we'll make this happen in person!!!!

TV Crews'd love you showing up. Many think you're Baki Songfang under another name!

tbr not the best idea in the universe to reveal your statuses. Renoih'll judge it as an attempt to curry favour and consider letting you live repayment enough for saving Nocri. Nocri will want to dress them up and take a bunch of photos for his socials.

Or keep them. He has a few rarities a pets.

[If Cayde looks it up, Nocri has two Quetzalkin he regularly takes pics of in 'cute' (eye-searing) outfits. The birds are Philippine and Haast eagles.

Also yes, the twins were typing for like, ten mins straight.

Hi. You have fans on the line, Cayde.]

[deal_me_in]

[Now that is quite the reaction. Cayde is absolutely tickled.]

Eh, Songfang's not bad but I'll bet he can't set himself on fire!

Noted though. I'm starting to see what sort of people we're dealing with and I don't think they're the sort I want to make friends with. PR, I can handle. Just a formal acknowledgement of civic duty, a hopefully nice reward, and then vanish into the ether until the next big opportunity.

Always appreciate fans though. I knew you two were my favorite twins. I'd be happy to sign your collection, and a selfie goes without saying!

[fenixnpcs]

Awesome. :D

Get back to us when you know what you lot are gonna do.

[Video]

[deal_me_in]

[It takes him a moment, but when he does switch over for a short video, he's got his ol' Viperkin persona up and he gives the camera a wink as he clicks his tongue, tapping the air with double-finger guns.

What a tease.]

You got it.

[Video]

[fenixnpcs]

[And for a momment, the twins show up on camera.

Ryza is very much a hearts-in-eyes anime fangirl squee!!!! Faelan is trying and failing to be Normal about it all. But she, too, looks very excited.

Then the video cuts, and they are gone. the only proof they were even in the system is the text and video left behind.]
