[Over the network, there's one person who doesn't seem as bothered by the rain, even as it gets heavy enough to almost hurt]Hey, everyone. Yamamoto Takeshi here. Have you all seen the message? Doesn't sound too good, does it? There's always a catch ( Read more... )

[rubs the back of his head innocently] Ohhh, I might have a bit of experience in that field... Well, not exactly kidnapped and studied, no, I don't make a habit of that, but I'm rather...used to aliens myself.

bit_impossible February 19 2009, 01:06:20 UTC

Not while he was alive.

Do you mind telling me about him? And this ship, actually. I don't know anything about the Crucible - I know nobody knows why we're here, but how long have people been taken onto that ship? Are there any clues?

bit_impossible February 19 2009, 23:06:50 UTC

Oh, not at all! I was one of the first ones to 'arrive' on the ship about, ohhh five months ago I'd say. [scratches his head] And I still don't know why we've been taken.

What I do know is the ship doesn't discriminate who it pulls aboard or who it sends home--and it has sent people home. Just as suddenly as they came, they were gone. I don't believe Captain Ganymede--that was his name, by the way--actually had any control over that. The man was the only crew member aboard the ship, and I think his mind was already beginning to go when we arrived.

The ship itself is, or rather was, an intergalactic space cruise liner owned by the IAIC up there. There were about twenty-two levels, three of which were devoted to passenger cabins of different sizes; an environmental simulation dome that covered four levels, each one different from the next. Then there were shops and restaurants and all sorts of entertainment venues on the next two levels, and below that was the hospital, and below that the library and a security station. For ( ... )

[Listens intently!]

Sounds pretty luxurious. Does anyone know why it was closed off again? And what sort of ship did Captain Ganymede run, if he was at least in contact with everyone and you thought he was crazy? What has everyone been doing?

And another thing. . . do you know a boy named Sawada Tsunayoshi? Tsuna. He's a little short, has fluffy brown hair. I'm almost positive he's been sent home as you describe, but if you knew how long he'd been on this ship, it would be really helpful.

bit_impossible February 20 2009, 02:41:24 UTC

Ganymede himself was very private and elusive. He once opened up communications with us and would either tell us lies, half-truths, or would avoid answering the questions at all. To be honest...some of them sounded pre-recorded. Every now and then he'd leave announcements for us, or we'd get fed a bunch of static and the status of the ship would...change, to put it delicately. All very weird stuff, bit dangerous at times too.

Basically, everyone was trying to survive the changes of the ship and to ourselves as well. You saw how a heavy portion of the passengers changed their sex, correct? On the ship, something changed us then too, made us revert back to our child selves with no memory of what happened at all. That was...unpleasant. Very, very unpleasant. Do you have any idea how much it hurts to gain back countless centuries worth of memories just like that? [snaps his fingers. even now, it makes his head ache.]Sorry, you mentioned Tsuna? I remember there being a Tsuna here. Nice boy, seemed a little lost. He was ( ... )

Reborn was here too? I see. . . I hope they did get home.

And no, I can't say that I do know what that feels like. . . you look pretty good for your age.

bit_impossible February 20 2009, 04:54:26 UTC

Did you know them? Sorry, meant to ask that before. Very curious, the pair of 'em.

Ahhh, thanks!

wavesbreaking February 20 2009, 06:36:24 UTC

I did, yes. ...Sounds like I just missed them.

bit_impossible February 20 2009, 06:42:42 UTC

I see. Well, at least they're home and away from all this mess.

wavesbreaking February 20 2009, 06:47:31 UTC

Here's hoping.

But thanks a lot, that's all really helpful. So now it's out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?

bit_impossible February 20 2009, 06:49:57 UTC

You're very welcome! We'll see what the coming days will bring. I have a feeling there won't be just one volunteer, not from this lot.

wavesbreaking February 20 2009, 07:10:08 UTC

Probably not, but we should probably see if we can get everyone to agree on one person. We don't want them to decide to just take everyone who's volunteering, or take someone wrong for the job.

bit_impossible February 20 2009, 07:38:09 UTC

None of them will step down easily, no matter how much they're willing to volunteer or sacrifice themselves. They're stubborn--my mate included. Ollie hasn't said anything yet, but I know he's planning on it. He's just the type to do something foolish like that.

wavesbreaking February 20 2009, 08:12:40 UTC

Ha ha, I'm worried about someone I know, too. He'll probably try to beat everyone up so nobody else can have a shot at it.

bit_impossible February 20 2009, 17:47:36 UTC

Well, the best of luck to you for keeping an eye out on him. The last thing we need is for a fight to break out and they end up taking the wrong person in all the confusion.
