HMS Surprise Network

Ugh, is this seriously life when we don't stop on other worlds? Like...constantly movin' into a big vast batch of nothing?

'cause, I'll be honest, I've never been one for space. You know what space is made of? Nothin'. And when you reach the end of it, you know what you get? More nothin'.

Someone play with me. Someone entertain me.

Or else I'm just gonna give myself lung cancer and destroy my liver with all the smoking and drinking I do to pass the time.

Do you mean to tell me that EVERYTHING on this ship is free? Food, clothing, shops? There's no money in this place? Just pop round to the shop and pick up whatever you like, no charge? I'm no flipping economist but tell me how does that work?


No no no. Don't tell me. Don't say a word. I don't want to hear anything about economics when I spy shoes. Good thing the TARDIS has infinite space because I'm going to need A BIGGER CLOSET.

Many of you... forgive me if I'm rude, but... it's so different! I know that I must appear to be equally unusual, and that's alright. We all come from different worlds, don't we? But, then... I only ask, because... I would like to try something new while I'm here! Hee! I've never had that chance before, and... it sounds nice! Maybe.. a little daring?

Only... I don't know where to go or where I would even start! Could.. someone help me? I hope that.. it isn't too much trouble.

The library on this ship is vast, possibly one of the more impressive ones I have ever seen. I enjoy reading, and before now, had never had the time to indulge in things such as fiction.

Colloquialisms will never cease to give me pause, however.

This wasn't how I planned on retiring, but I'll take it.

But I'm on a spaceship full of strangers, which doesn't help. Major Kaidan Alenko, Alliance Navy. Served under Commander Shepard on the Normandy in the


You know what, this probably means nothing to any of you. I, uh I'm Kaidan, I'm 35, a soldier, and I'm from Vancouver back on Earth. I like cards, cooking, beer, and there's nothing better than a good steak sandwich and ... what exactly do you say when your reality's supposedly blinked out and you're supposed to introduce yourself to refugees from other worlds? This sounds like an extranet dating profile. I usually like long walks on the beach but I might be on crutches for a bit and we're without beaches, so that's out.

So, I'm not dreaming, which is cool. Legitimately on a bigass spaceship in space. And a planet based on Christmas and other PC holidays exists. This would be more awesome if I didn't have to believe everyone I knew's been blinked out of reality except me.

Yeah, that part blows. A lot.

How do we fix the universes so I can go back to my people?

So. How many of you bitches actually came up with some fuckin' brilliant new year's resolution but already failed four days in?

Come on. Tell the truth.

Anyway, I hope this place takes us somewhere more interesting next. Although, the snow was pretty nice. Haven't seen that since I was a homeless kid in Boston.

So since we're technically in another reality is it still 2014? What the hell? Happy New Year.

Merdith/Izzie
Mystery solved, ladies.

[OOC: Pretend she posted these before Christmas]

For Meredith
Because we're going to need it.

For Izzie
For some reason this made me think of you.

For Faith
Cheers!

For Simon
Have a drink with on me.

I've probably eaten about six candy canes in the course of the last six hours. The box is pretty much empty at this point.

If you suck on one long enough, you can get it into about the right shape for a shiv. You know, for when we land on the planet of the killer gingerbread men or whatever.

I think I'm a little hyped up on sugar. I want to jump on things.

What can I jump on?

Thank you for those that left me gifts. I hope you all had a good holiday season.

It is times like this that I miss River more than usual. She would have loved Christmas Town. Hell she would enjoy this entire situation for the most part but I have a feeling she would miss Serenity and it's crew far too much though. Still I do wish she was here

I have been instructed to make myself "more comfortable" for our present passengers. Therefore, I will be landing on the date of 91512.93. For those of you lacking in your understanding, this is tomorrow morning at what is approximately 6 A.M.

You may enjoy your swimming pool, McDonald's, and shop of sexual persuasion in a few days. Please do not interrupt the remodeling process.

I have also been instructed to answer any questions.

So some decided to stay on the planet by the look of it? Well we seem to have less people on board than we previously did. Or at the very least I am assuming that is the case as I cannot find someone.

This ship... it's so...! Goodness, I've almost forgotten myself! Manners first.

My name is Yuna. My home seems to be... one of the many others lost. Is that true? I don't want to believe that it's lost. We'd worked so hard to save it... and the people on board here! Some of them are dressed like... well, maybe I'm just thinking too much.

It's not a very good introduction, is it? I'm sorry. I'm not sure what to make of all this, it's a lot to take in... Hello then. Who's out there? Does anyone need help?

Okay - what happened down in Zanarkand was bad. And if you need to talk about it with someone, you should. But it could happen again, either when we land or if something happens up here. Our doctors are the best you could ask for in this situation. We'll take care of you and make sure that you get what you need. It's just that sometimes, bad things happen and they aren't always giant whales in the sky.

So I'm offering - anyone who wants to learn basic first aid and triage methods, we can teach you. This won't make you doctors or nurses. We can't certify you. But I think that right now, learning is good. So if you wanna learn, let me know.

Right. So. . .am I the only one who's vaguely concerned that every place we land is going to erupt into chaos the minute we land?

I mean, if all realities are crashing at once, then the odds of us finding one that isn't going to bite us on the arse are slim to none, right? Who understands probability around here?

Doctor?

[Private to Zev]

Have you been to the food court yet? Because I could kill for a coffee and one of those donut things from the space!Starbucks.

I am glad to see that we all of us, as far as I know, managed to get off the planet alright after that attack. If anyone still needs medical help, I and the other trained doctors I'm sure will be in the infirmary.

Alright, I do not appreciate being kidnapped like this. My sister and my friends need me. Especially since Wash has just died. What is the name of this ship, where are we and how do I return home?
