Mission Atlantis

Hello denizens of Weststar!

It's a brand new month, and you know what that means? Yes, it means a brand new month of activities!

It's also February which means....LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

We will be hosting a very special Valentine's Dance on board. Whether single, taken, or anything in between, we encourage you to come and dance until your feet fall off!

Now, for those of you that would like to take a date, we will be hosting a speed dating event on Sunday, February 11th! This is a 21 and up event, and all are welcome to attend, crew or guest. You could be lucky and meet the love of your life!

[OOC: For those interested, I would like to run the speed dating as an actual event in game. I have created a sign up form for anyone interested. Please keep in mind that you will need to fill it out for each character you plan to have attend. Everyone should be able to access it, but if you can't, please let me know via Discord or email, and I will resend it!]

Taking a cruise was certainly a good idea. If not just to get away from the paparazzi.

I was thinking of checking out some of the nightlife. Would anyone care to join me?

After being trapped for an unknown amount of time in a world that operates on dream logic, there are a few things I have realized I've forgotten were important. Eating, sleeping, waste expulsion. None of it is necessary in the Dark Place, although some of it is possible (depending on one's ability to interact with the dream).

Which is to say after two weeks aboard this ship, I have finally realized that I am famished. So if anyone has some good food recommendations from any of the restaurants around here, please share.

I can't decide if this whole have your food instantly thing is a good thing or a bad thing.

I suppose it doesn't matter either way.

Still pretty sure this isn't real.

A penguin just walked up to me and told me a knock, knock, joke:

Who’s there?
Control Freak.
Con…
Okay, now you say, “Control Freak who?”

I'm not entirely sure it was a joke. He might have been making a point about me. Before I do some self-reflecting, is anyone else getting jokes from penguins?

Hello Atlantis! Or Hello Poseidon! However it works. Anyways, hi! Atlantis folks, I've missed you. Although I didn't know I missed you until I got pulled back here. Is Hope here? To the new friends I haven't met yeah, I'm Tilly, a theoretical engineer and instructor at Starfleet Academy, although the USS Discovery is always going to be home a bit as well. Anyway, I'm one of those math/science/engineering nerds that spends way too much time fiddling with things and usually improving them. (Like the time I programmed the replicator to only give out spumoni icecream - it was amazing.)

Anyways, I'll be lending a hand in tech r&d, so hi new folks. I know I'm supposed to wait a week, but I'm not good at waiting when there's work to be done. Also, Sherlock, looks like I'll be your new roommate.

Intake folks said there were a few Starfleet folks here? Say hello!

I've had worse days in less interesting places, but I have to say, I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. And whoever got the idea I'd be one for following orders? Forget the lieutenant. Call me River.

The dreamscape has shifted in the most unusual way this time. Where it had been a gritty, noir version of New York City it's now a spaceship. That seems out of line with the Dreamer's usual narratives, but anything is possible here. Including, I suppose, the wildly different background radiation I am now detecting. I feel, perhaps, even more in the dark than I have in the past 665 days.

I don't see Tom anywhere, but the ship is as populated as the city. It's hard to discern if any of these beings are those shadow monsters or if they are other people trapped here in the Dark Place. I try to keep a distance.

It seems very strange to call this a ship when there are no sails and no water. But I heard tell that there's some people I might know here. Stede? Ed?

Name's Jim.

Well this certainly isn't the Enterprise. I must have taken one hell of a wrong turn.

I'm Montgomery Scott, lieutenant junior grade. Anyone out there have any idea what's happened?

This isn't the first time I've been pulled on another ship against my will.

However, this is the first I've been pull on another ship against my will in another dimension. Or at least, a dimension that I don't know.

Who wants to get drunk with me?
