video; w/ Finn, Sam, & McCoy!

[ The video clicks on to show Finn looking off to the side like he’s distracted and already forgot he started recording. There are some sounds of hustling going on in the background, too, definitely signs of people around and work going on.

But he turns his attention back to the recording with a smile quickly enough. ]


Hi! Dr. McCoy, Sam Wilson, and I are setting up a small infirmary near the kitchens. More like a base of operations, too, since… the rest of the castle won’t stay still. If you need to rest, this may be the safest place for it.

[ Hurrying into frame behind Finn, carrying a portable medical cot beneath his arm, Bones gruffly interjects: ]

Tell 'em to make themselves useful and find us blankets and clean linens.

[ He hurries away, letting Finn continue. ]

Prince Charming over there means any help is appreciated.

[ Not actually Finn that continues - sorry, Bones, Sam’s turn to wander into frame and interject, a few cases of supplies in his arms, Redwing lazily trailing behind. ]

Entrance hall and kitchen seem to be the only safe spots, hence the location for this setup. Rest of the castle is a trippy, magic funhouse. Tried to map it out, but heads up: electronic scanners are useless in here, and scaling the outside only helps until you get in through a window - then it’s magic bullshit time again. So like Finn said, Camp Arkenstone’s open for business, but you gotta make do with camping gear to hang out. Speaking of - Finn, we talked about the buddy system…?

[ Finn makes a humming, confused sound and then seems to remember. ]

Oh, right! Yeah. If any of you want to go exploring, we have flashlights and other equipment gathered here. We also think it’ll be a good idea to always go out there with at least one other person. If no one’s free, me or Sam will probably be willing to go.

[ Finn shrugs. They’re a couple of pals like that. Then, Finn looks offscreen to where McCoy wandered off to. ]

Anything else we should add?

[ There's a muffled ah, shit, and a much louder: ]

Yeah!

[ Joining Finn and Sam, Bones looks ruffled but otherwise calm, glancing briefly at the tricorder in his hand. ]

Sleepers appear to be in a kind of stasis, like something you'd see in long-term cryo back home, minus the very-necessary equipment for that kind of life support. I'd say they're comatose, but their brainwaves read like they're in REM sleep.

[ He grimaces. He can't help it, not liking the lack of answers. ]

Consider Mr. Finn's suggestion to pair up, and Mr. Wilson's intel regarding the usefulness of any scanning devices very strongly. Viveca's serum is the only remedy we've got right now, and if you fall asleep out there by yourself, Lord knows how we'll find you.

If we have any more crew with medical experience, it's safe to say we're gonna need the extra help.


[ Exeunt McCoy, while he returns to their sleeping orber. Sam mouthes ‘Prince Charming’ and shakes his head with a grin, then adds: ]

One more thing… This place is full of tricks, right. If you come across anything noteworthy, share with the class? We’ll attach some general notes on the castle to this message, feel free to add to that.

[ Finn looks between McCoy and Sam, then turns to whisper to that latter: ] Who’s Arkenstone?

[ And that’s how the feed ends. ]


[ ooc: feel free to assume the general notes cover some of the architecture basics of the castle as per the mission log, and feel free to have your characters share any other fun things you have them come across for IC Info Exchange. Threadjacking highly encouraged! ]

One of my bells might be able to help- Mosrael is called the Waker, and it can pull people out of sleep, even if that sleep had an unnatural cause.

It's worth a try, at least.

I can... find people. No matter where they are. Contact them. In my mind.

[ The words come hesitant. An offer of help - she hasn't really told many people about her powers, but they could be useful here - and she wants to be useful. ]

I can try to pull them from the dreams. Wake them up.

[ A beat. One of them called the castle a funhouse, and she just has to disagree with that. ]

I don't think. This is a very fun house.

[ Having been on her own personal mission to map out as many rooms as she can, Elthree has already been through the base camp once or twice. This time, however, she comes in with some precious cargo in the form of a certain ruggedly handsome captain, currently snoozing up a storm in her arms. ]

Got another one for you, boys.

I will. Hopefully, it will wake them up, and we won't need to worry about relying on our limited supply of the antidote.

[Ziggy is kind of at this camp already, mostly because she’s on the last leg of healing up from her own awful injuries when she’d arrived on the Ximilia — but like hell that’s going to stop her, even if she’s slower to move and quicker to tiredness.]

My personal goal thing is to be, uhhh — “active support”, so just tell me anything you guys need help with, and I’ll get it done. Or whatever.

[She isn’t exactly a bright, shining beacon of cheering or teamwork, but she’s doing her best here.]

[ Interesting. She wonders, like with so many others, if he's also a number. If he's also from the lab.

Eleven tries to find ways to put it into words. ]


I go through the Void. And when I see someone in the Void. I can touch them. Make contact. Talk. And I can... go deeper. Into their head. Into their memories. Dreams.

[ A beat. ]

I can open doors. Close them, too.

[ In a manner of speaking. ]

Hey, Bowie.

[ Sam holds up one of the smaller crates he was carrying. He's wearing his flight goggles, and through the video feed it's apparent that some sort of information flits over the inside of the red visor. Sam looks briefly distracted, then shifts his focus back to her. ]

You more interested in packing first aid field kits for our exploration teams, or in keeping an eye on what my drone's seeing and noting down some stuff from outside the castle?

Oh my god, what massive dork named this place Arkenstone?

[Don't answer back that he seems to know the name, therefore making him just as big a nerd.

This isn't important. What is important is he's setting up his Ximilia kit in the small infirmary space, too — mostly just stuff you'd find on the station! State of the art microscopes, a little data entry handheld, some typical slides and equipment specifically for eyeballing organic materials that may be collected from sleeping folks. A needle prod for blood or a little pinch for tissue cells goes a long way, yanno...! It doesn't take up too much room at least. Technology's so splendid sometimes.

He yawns into his hand as he wanders around the newly established camp.]


I think after we're done here, I'm gonna rob their kitchen. Is it robbery if we rescue them all from a sleeping spell? I feel like that's just a cash deposit.

Good job and good advice, thanks for setting this up. If I discover anything noteworthy, I'll leave the information there.

I can't believe you named the camp after the Jewell from the Hobbit book. [ NERDS. ]

We're in a magic castle, there's even a hedge maze, and everyone is dreaming ala Sleeping Beauty...has anybody tried to wake people by kissing them?

[ Ey, he's just saying it could work because strangest things had happened. ]

What, you want me to rebrand this shit every mission?

[ Amusement flickers across Sam's face, easy and companionable.

Besides, listen, he's in a vibe here, what with the surprise gift for Bucky he's 'ordered' from Viveca for after the mission. So really, it's not even Sam's fault - Bucky is the nerd, and Sam's just getting infected. ]


I think you just volunteered to test that theory at your earliest convenience, Quill. Just don't cry when you get slapped.

Why, you wanna talk shit?

[ Good-natured, though Sam shoots Newton a Look. The guy might remember why that particular brand of nerd is fresh on Sam's mind currently. ]

Well unless you wanna contend with the dry emergency rations we brought just in case...

[ Sam makes a gesture. He'd honestly object if they were down in some decrepit village taking from the obviously poor, but... ]

Looks like we're stealing from the rich to save the poor, so. Call yourself Robin Hood and feast, I guess?

I will join your group very shortly but there is something I'd like to inquire about.

The antidote. Viveca had emphasized that it only works once. That would certainly imply that this illness exhibits virus-like qualities where one may catch it again.

A solid possibility.

( Not one he's happy about, judging by his tone. )

Nothing in the tests I've run indicate a viral infection, or the presence of any other pathogens.

I'm not so certain, but I suppose it's possible.
If you find yourself in a quiet moment, try to listen; if it is only my senses detecting it, that's one thing, but if others do...
