[ of course, rita sets up a visual because the starlet always wants to be seen (except when she doesn't). at the present time, she seems rather enthusiastic like she's fighting a proud grin, one that suggests she's ready to give herself a pat on the back at any moment. ]

Good evening, everyone! For those who don't know me, I am Rita Farr, your Team Morale Coordinator.

[ wait, who assigned her that position? ]

As you all well know, we have been joining mission after mission with the intention of collecting orbs to protect the world and save towns from devastation. In a way, you might say we're ... space-travelling superheroes!

And as any superhero would tell you, it's very important to have codenames for our mission. Obviously, we often obtain our very own undercover civilian names. But in the line of duty, when we're in the heat of the fight, we should just as well have assigned titles to continue preserving our identities.

As the Ximilia's Team Morale Coordinator β€” [ again, who voted her into that position? ] I took it upon myself to select carefully crafted codenames for each and every one of you.

[ she then holds up a sheet of paper, featuring a list of all of the orbers, each with another name printed beside them. ]

You will find this list posted in the Mess Hall. Please take a moment at your best convenience to study the list and memorize each of the names listed for future use. Though I worked very hard to select them β€” [ she clears her throat, brushing her hair back. ] I suppose that if you have any issue with the name chosen for you, we can discuss making possible changes. Though I don't see why anyone would want to.

( please note that none of the above is to be taken seriously and is in good fun! though rita very much likes to believe she has team leader qualifications and is entirely in her right to make assignments. but she's very bad at selecting names so if some of it seems nonsensical, it's on brand. she went by what she knows or assumes or whatever she likes. )

[Around an hour into the blackout, Wei Wuxian pops up in a video on the network. Despite the lack of electricity, there's enough light to reveal his location as one of the hallways where he's leaning against a wall, arms crossed across his chest. There's a friendly smile on his face, and those who know him very well might notice that he appears a little drained even if he is trying valiantly to hide it.]

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Wei Wuxian. That's surname Wei, given name Wuxian. You can call me Wei Wuxian. [His friendly smile slips into a grin for a moment before fading into something a little more serious.]

We seem to have found ourselves annoyingly inconvenienced, hmm?

I don't know if this is going to last very long, but in the meantime I've got a temporary solution. I've been hanging light talismans along the halls and in some of the rooms to allow people to see by. It's not a lot of light, but it's enough to travel by. I've also got extra if anyone would like to come and grab some for their room. [As he speaks, a hovering ball of light lowers down from the ceiling and he holds out a hand for the light to rest in his palm to make sure people can see it.]

I've also stuck some cooling talismans to the freezers to keep their contents cool, and I've got warming talismans too if anyone is in need of those. I'll be sitting in the mess hall. Please come by or message me if you need some. [And with that he gives a short wave to the video before it cuts off.]

[A little fumbling, a few signal cuts in and out, and eventually he has a connection. Finn wasn’t really a tech savvy guy; most of the phones and computers in his time were cobbled together from pre-war remnants, retro looking affairs with 8-bit display and limited functions. The earpiece was a little out of his league, and his manages it with the finesse of an 87 year old man.]

Hey. Oh, hey I think I got it. [He smiles, looked pleased with his accomplishment. He was settled into his new room, already showing serious signs of habitation, with his belongings strewn across the bed behind him in some kind of rudimentary inventory. Or maybe just a mess.]

So I’ve been having a look around this place, and it’s…big. And sort of empty? [He bites into something with an audible crunch, chewing thoughtfully for a moment.] I know there’s missions or something we’re supposed to do eventually, but…well, what do ya’ll do for fun in the meantime? [Sitting around and waiting wasn’t really Finn’s style, and without some kind of direction he was already starting to get a little stir crazy.

He takes another bite of…whatever that was, continuing through a mouthful of food.]


Okay, also, I was scoping out the kitch, and is there like, someone in charge of that? Are there special hours or something? Because all I could find was this. [He holds up…well, it’s a potato. A raw potato.] 

Also, [There’s more.] I was originally holding this bed for someone, but…I don’t think he’s here. [He shrugs, looking a little let down, a hint of embarrassment creeping into his expression as his speech speeds up.] I’ve never had my own room before, and it's kinda cool, but it’s also…really quiet, and I’m not like, scared or anything, but if anyone wanted to share a room or….needed a roomie. I mean, no presh. I’m also pretty comfortable here.

[There was a rushed, rambling cadence to the last part. He takes another bite of his potato, his desperate cry for help.]

Oh, and my name’s Finn, by the way. Nice to meet you guys.

( the video opens to the interior of the a.v. club (during the day.) an old television with its vhs player sits on a wheeled cart. one steve harrington hits play. the movie, clearly one made by and starring kids, fills the screen. )

Obvious shoo-in for Best Picture aside, ( gwen’s voice begins a touch drily after the tape has ended, ) this comes to you, the general viewing audience, courtesy of Forsythe Elementary’s Mr. Harris, who co-starred with his friend, Sam Cooper.

( steve joins in once the tape has finished playing and he hits rewind. call it a habit from working at a video rental store. ) Mr. Harris mentioned something finding his friend. It’s not much, maybe it won’t lead to anything, but we thought it worth sharing. Maybe someone else will be able to find whatever missing puzzle piece we don’t have.

[Newt's felt like shit lately, for reasons we shan't go into.

So instead of addressing his own feelings, he's going to ignore them, bottle them up, and torment both new and old crew alike!]


Eyes over here! Hyup! Welcome, noobies, to the SS Ximilia! Grandest little station in the whole wide endless universe. I'm Newt Geiszler, PhD times six, resident xenobiologist, inventor, and super awesome guitarist of the best band around, Murderface. Pleasure to meet you! Don't touch any of my stuff in the lab, or it'll probably end in me shoving you under the emergency shower.

... That was a joke; I'm not allowed to have things that would put any of you into a chemical shower.

Anyway, just as a head's up, for both the new and old crewmembers? Don't change your regret unless you're seriously ready to give up something in exchange. And I mean it, guys — it can be real nasty. If you wanna talk about it, I've finally figured out my loss from changing my regret, so.

... Less serious topic: time for your resident welcome wagon. A.K.A. my handy write-up of our crew for the new bloods. Read through very, very carefully. this is all critical information!

[ATTACHED TXT.:// MEET THE CREW]

LOTS OF TEXT )

So we got space Zumbas or whatever you call 'em, [Roombas, they're Roombas,] an armory, a fake outdoors, a rock band, a music room, movie nights, strawberry ice cream, empty pizza boxesβ€”shame on you all for not sparing a new guy some pizza, by the way, I could've used thatβ€”and an upcoming play. 'S'all great and all, love the variety here, but you know what I didn't find?

[A pause, for dramatic effect. Then, mock-disappointed:]

Any heavy metal records. I'm shocked, you guys. You're telling me nobody here listens to Iron Maiden? System of a Down? Metallica? Hell, at this point I'd even take Nine Inch Nails and they don't even count. Next supply drop I'll ask Viveca to pull a few records and my old jukebox in, get you guys a crash course in the best of the genre.

[With that out of the way, Dante switches subjects, the jokey disappointment now gone in favor of a slightly more serious but still casual tone:] By the way, anybody up for a spar? If we're gonna go on a mission soon, I'd like to stay sharp, see what I'll be working with. You want a fight, come find me in the training room. I'm the guy in red with the big-ass sword, can't miss me.
