It seems you've all been affected because you helped us who were taken. What can I do to help you all?

Do you have a spell to try to locate people? Can we try it for Leia?

Stupid question maybe, but do we think these are from one of our worlds, or like, just random portal nonsense?

I was going to say we should start thinking about the bonfire, but my party mood's been disrupted with current talk.

VIDEO MESSAGE

The video starts with a shake of the camera, like the phone was fumbled, but the image is too close and everything is out of focus. After a couple seconds, the phone is dropped and facing up at a ceiling. In the background, nearby, there is loud barking taking place. Another moment later, an animated but familiar shape of a common toy steps into frame sporting Rey's formerly signature hairstyle. She's lacking a mouth but her eyebrows are drawn down in a frustrated look. Eyes focus in on the camera and she starts vocalizing but no words come out. At best, it sounds like frustrated grunts and groans coming from the back of her throat. Eyes narrow further and she lifts both her arms in a 'WHAT' gesture. There's very visible frustration that continues on as she moves in and out of frame, with a dog briefly rushing past view, before suddenly the camera shows a stylus begin to float in midair. It comes down close near the camera and suddenly the picture ends, as she has shut the camera off. Within thirty seconds, the following message shows on network.

[Filter: Leia Organa (Canon)]

Finn might have mentioned this already, but I wanted you to know I remember everything.

And I wanted to say also, though I know it doesn't mean much of anything. I'm really sorry. I kinda made a mess of things.

[Rey]

So [...] I meant to tell you earlier than this, but Poe and I remember [...] more.

[Justice of Toren & Seivarden Vendaai]

Hi again. I was wondering if you both wanted to do something together? I know you have plenty of food and tea, so I was thinking we could go to the zoo or maybe I could just show you around where we keep the airplanes.

[Poe Dameron]

Don't make plans for Friday.

NO.

This is sacred territory and should not be touched.

I bought this and I'm having it framed. It's going in the living room. He'd of liked it. No complaints, I hope?

No.

I'm Eliot. I understand you've already met someone who shares a strong resemblance in name, face, and hopefully an excellent taste in vests and alcoholic beverages. Some of you have been here for some time, and I am hoping you can help me.

This isn't my first time being pulled into another world, or my second, or even third, or forth, and so on. Some of you have also been pulled into other worlds which may or may not have been purgatory like before ending up here. I'm trying to get some information on my friends? They might have mentioned a Hell Hotel? Hotel Kairos?

Just looking to see if anyone else made it out. Any information you might have would be deeply appreciated.

So, hello. I've just spent the last two years in a semi-sentient, murderous hotel. How're things?

Jesus fuck, Q. Except not literally. Are you my Q? Were you at the hotel? Please tell me you made it out, too. I'm still in quarantine.

I know none of us are probably much in the mood right now, but what if we had a barbecue next month sometime? I feel like give us a couple of weeks, some cheering up for everyone might not be the worst.

In the meantime, I'm kinda thinking we ought to check on the Leia's, but particularly the General - since this was her Han - some this week in particular. It's just kinda shitty isn't it?

We never finalized. Are we going to go to Chicago next weekend? How do we want to try to get there? There is the planes but I think we could probably ask someone to make us a portal. Both Alice and Margo could from my understanding.

And I'd like to invite Leia and Han. Is that alright?

Finn, Poe and I are going to be going to Chicago next weekend for one of the Pride events. Since that was where Finn and I lived for so long, I thought maybe you two would like to join us? I could show you where we used to stay. The Falcon won't be there but--- We could invite Chewie, too?

It's been many, many years since I had an opportunity to keep a garden, a real one, nothing in hydroponics. Not since Alderaan Besides a trip to the gardening store, which I have planned already, is there anyone with experience who might be able to help me decide the sort of flowers that will do well in this climate?

Look son, I ain't telling him you're here. Not yet. He remembers. Now, I'll get him settled in and talk later, but you know it's gonna take some time. Just be prepared, alright?

[GFA Filter]

Has anyone heard from Satine, Obi-Wan, or Qui-Gon recently?

I have questions about the space robots. You know the ones? From the Star Wars? Or I think they are from the Star Wars. I suppose it's possible this little guy is from something else. Space robots are a common thing, I've gathered.

Is it normal for a space robot to be a thief and a squatter? I've found one hanging around the shed down at the Pit and he appears to be a little thief. I don't know how he'd be able to drag this much stuff in here on his own. Though, I suppose the little white and blue robot in the movie was capable of a lot, too. So maybe I should give this one some more credit.

Is anyone missing any paintings? They certainly aren't his. Unless he's a painter, too. Do space robots paint?

I think I'm going to invite him inside.

I am pleased with how the plants from our stops on the cruise are doing where I've transplanted them, but Griggory keeps trying to dig some of them up.

Clint, will you help me build better fencing around the gardens?

I'm kind of glad to be back. Mostly because now we can continue to work on the plane and everything.

[Poe Dameron & the Reys]

We should do something, though. A group something. I'm not sure what, but we could see what all new places there are or whatever.

[Poe Dameron]

Do you want to still fly to Chicago sometime?

If anyone is in need of a meal this evening, we'll be setting up a fire at the Dameron Ranch and roasting corn. All are welcome to come by. If you would like to bring other dishes as well, I'm sure it'll be appreciate by any who attend.

We're located at [address].

STAR WARS PEOPLE & TONKS:

If any of you need me, I'll be spending my time at the resort, stretching these old legs and swimming in the ocean.

Nothing but sun and cocktails for me this time around.

I still have no idea what the holiday is about, but thanks for the chocolate, y'all. Kinda made my day.

[Filter: Rey (CL)]

I'm gonna ask you a really obvious question and I'm expecting a very particular answer, just so you know.

I'm definitely glad to have only had the little bit of injury I did. Even if it's actually a lot of a loss. But it's okay. I can handle it.

It's less than the last time I was injured. But I hope that everyone else is healing well. I'm sorry about the

If there's something I can help work on with just my hands, let me know or Rey-who-isn't-me and she'll pass it on. Just meditating on the Force isn't exactly keeping me occupied and it's not easy to visit anyone yet. I have to keep my broken foot propped up, so no climbing or crawling into anything for awhile. I'm back to my room in 417.

Poe, where are those call signs you promised us? I'm going to have to put it to the rest of the ship. Obviously your ideas will carry a certain weight.

So. Who has thoughts on call signs for me and not-me-but-kind-of-me so we don't have to keep saying "Rey and other Rey"?

POE DAMERON, FINN & REY (AU)

I'll be heading back down to the medbay soon. How are you all feeling?

DEMIGODS & DIANA PRINCE

Leo's currently in my suite and does not have his phone. I felt you all might be concerned and he agreed to having me reach out to you on his behalf. We're in 109.

DIANA PRINCE

He told me he was sent to the brig last night.

We need 2-3 people per residential deck to check each suite to make sure things are okay - no one's trapped or injured, nothing's been set on fire, that sort of thing. Ideally people who are fairly well-known and trusted for obvious reasons, so if you never talk to anyone and lurk in dark corners a lot don't be surprised if I side-eye you being too eager here.

Deck One: Poe Dameron (+Finn), Laura Howlett

Deck Two: Kate Bishop, Sam Winchester

Deck Three: Sif, Ava Ayala

Deck Four: Qui-Gon Jinn, Maria Hill

Deck Seven: Petunia Dursley, Matt Murdock

Deck Eight: (avoid 814) Waverly Earp, Faith Lehane

Deck Nine: Wanda Maximoff, Karen Page

Deck Ten: Laurel Lance, Kitty Pryde


DONE. Thanks everyone.


Oh, and if your prosthetic suddenly stopped working and you need someone to look at it, apparently medbay is the place to be.


[ooc: I'll stick an ooc comment on this post as well so if there is anything that patrols would find you can tell us what, including any wards set up.]

[TABLETS AND PHONES REBOOT WITH INCESSANT BEEPING]

By now you're all aware that the ship has stopped. It would appear that we've been hit with an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse. Possibly two. All electronics appear to be off, though the network and tablets have been re-established so we can communicate easier. We're not sure the extent of the damage, but backup generators have not come online so those must have been hit too.

Right now, our priorities should be food and getting the ship back up and running. We have no idea where we are in terms of our next port. It could be a day, it could be two. Without food, two days becomes much longer than you want. Potable water is going to be an issue too. While there are bottled waters, we have no running water. On a ship like this, that means toilets, showers, and sinks will not work. They're all electrical.

If anyone has any skills, magical or otherwise, for keeping food at temperatures to keep it from going bad, that would be fantastic. Food storage, including refrigeration and the freezers are on level C. Medbay is on D. A & B are engine rooms, so that'll be fun to dig through.

Those EMPs came from somewhere and for some reason. I don't want to be caught blindsided. If you're specialized in tech, I'd prefer you working on the ship. If you aren't sure what you can do and want to help, patrols are good. Bucky 2 has a current list, but I think we should have more considering.

If you're down an arm or a leg due to the EMP, let us know. We'll try to get someone to help you as soon as possible.

We’ve gotten a lot of departures and new arrivals, so I wanna tighten up what our plans are in case the boat is attacked. Any non-combatants need to make their way to the school, on foot or via the portals that are set up. We’ll have people defending that area as well as other areas on the ship.

If’n ya be a combatant if'n the ship does get attacked, post here and let me know which deck ya wanna help out on. If you’re a doctor or able to help with the part of ambulance by flying or teleporting people also let me know here. And anyone who can help out with tech/comms please be letting me know here too.

I suppose a dance is one way to distract us all from the question of where we'll end up next. But I admit I am a little curious - where we're going to end up next?

So what do you say you and me show all the couples how it's done?

If anyone wishes to attend the Ball and does not wish to have a droid for a sitter, let me know. I have no intentions of going, and would be happy to mind a few children so you can have fun.

I have never seen a device like this in my life. Am I using it correctly? I suppose I'll have to wait for a response.

I found the reception here to be highly unfriendly. Forcing me to have an inoculation against my will. Such indignity! As if I chose to come here, on the strangest holiday cruise I have ever seen. Is there even a way to go home?

There also seems to be some sort of mistake. My roommate appears to be a man.

[*ooc: does not include Anakin Skywalker or Chelli Aphra]

There's a group of Atlanteans working to clean up the beach. I was doing to help them, but it would probably go a lot faster with more people. If you're uninjured and need something to — particularly those of you with super strength — I think they could definitely use the help.

I actually hadn't thought we were going to be anywhere near water again. Pilot's pretty pleased about it. He's missed having water around to play in. I haven't tried the gill things. Is it worth it?

( Well, hello there, captain. )

Since we're talking about emergency plans, a message for the tech geeks. Dr Aphra and Ezekiel Jones are discussing a command centre to handle communications - both alerting everyone to emergencies and making sure no one gets cut off during an active situation. I'll also be there to keep track of the information we receive and assign tasks to mobile response units so we don't get some things being forgotten while too many people go somewhere else and I believe Charles will be with us as a telepath. If anyone has hardware or skills that would help, they're the two to talk to.

Personally speaking, I can work with a whiteboard or pencil and paper if I have to but coding an interactive map of the ship I can manipulate on a tablet would be more effective. I can do it myself but I know we have some coders around who might be able to do a better job.

Incidentally the Coffee Bar is actually ridiculously good. Let's not have aliens steal all our coffee this time.
