Please set all threads in one of three areas: the landing zone, where your character get off the shuttle upon arrival; the markets, where your character might run into any of the station's alien population; or in the residential district they'll be staying in.

φ Please give the name and canon of your character in the subject line! OCs (including Mass Effect OCs) and AUs are welcome.
φ You may use threads from this post as a log sample, so long as it has at least 5 of your comments in action tags or prose.
φ If you app in later, you can keep CR from this meme if both players agree to it OOCly, and so long as you keep interactions to these starting areas.
φ Apps and reserves and are always open! Our next processing round runs from 4/20 through 4/26.

[ kidnapping was a new low for the freelancer program. at least, that was the only reasonable explanation she could come up with. one moment, she'd been preparing to board the pelican, the next, she was in a different vehicle altogether.

a vehicle full of aliens, ones she hadn't seen before and had no data on, but that didn't mean much, in a sim. it was already pissing her off, just being here. usually she had a short brief, but not this time.

so instead, she stalked over to the first person who looked like they might be answer her questions, raising a hand to try to shove their shoulder. ]


Spit it out, buddy. Where the hell am I, and what the hell do I need to do to get out of here?

[ Okay, York isn't expecting somebody to shove her, and she turns to smack the person's hand away, but then she sees that armor and her eyes go wide, because -- what? No way. ]

Whoa -- Jesus, Tex? Is that you?
mineisbigger: (step off)

who are you

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-18 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ this chick knowing her isn't unexpected, especially if it's some kind of sim program. still, Tex tilts her head in a way that speaks of confusion. and confusion only pisses her off. ]

Yeah, who the hell else wears black armor? [ bow chicka bow. ] I have no idea who you are, for the record.

[ ah fuck this again ]

Haha, uh, yeah, I guess you'd know me as a guy, wouldn't you? Look, I know you're probably not gonna believe me, but I'm York.

[ yeah it's this again SORRY YOU ARE +1 TOO MANY TITS YORK

Tex's head doesn't move, just stays tilted in that same position. ]


Right. You're Agent York, and I'm the leader of the Covenant. You really think I'd fall for something like that?
neverknocks: (a blanket)

more like miss big booty HEYOOOOOO no idek

[ sorry Tex she's pretty used to this routine by now. She doesn't even look all that faze. ]

What, you wanna see my dogtags? Here.

[ She digs them out from underneath her shirt, pulling them up over her head and dangling them out in offering to Tex, one eye cocked. ]

I get it, it's weird, so I've just got two words for you: alternate timelines.
mineisbigger: (step off)

throw my hands up in the ayer sometimes

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-19 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ tex actually takes hold of the dogtags, pulling them forward a little to examine them. she could have just lifted them off the real york -

ah, but changing that "m" to an "f" would have left some marks. she stares at them a little longer before letting go, folding her arms. ]


Alternate timelines? Sounds like a bunch of scientist crap.

You think I don't know it sounds dumb? But trust me, it's true. C'mon, seriously, ask me something.

The fight with Agents Maine and Wyoming, how'd that end?
neverknocks: (09)

no worries :D

[personal profile] neverknocks 2013-04-21 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ York gives her a rueful smile, but she winces all the same. Man, this is gonna sound like bullshit. ]

Like shit, that's how. C'mon, you remember -- I was just trynna give you a hand, but you weren't havin' any of it. And then that big brutish asshole chucked a grenade a little too close to my face.

[ She smooths her hand over her intact left eye, out of habit. ]

'Course, and here's where it gets unbelievable, but I got that thing fixed on the last wacky space station I was trapped on. But hey, keep the questions comin', Tex. I got your answers.
mineisbigger: its teeth are razor sharp (i don't need your help)

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-22 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ okay, that's definitely something York was present for that Tex participated in recently. her arms are still folded though, her posture still clearly disbelieving. ]

No. Either you are York, for some reason sporting a set of breasts, which explains a lot, or you're a really ballsy imposter who's not going to get anything from me.

[ her way of saying she still doesn't entirely trust her. ]

So, spill, what the hell's going on?
neverknocks: (new words for old desires)

[personal profile] neverknocks 2013-04-24 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh my goddddd tex stahp why won't anyone believe york that she's YORK

whatever. onto more important issues. ]


Uh, the short version? For some big cosmic reason nobody goddamn understands, you got yanked here from your timeline, your universe, into this one, along with a bunch of other unlucky sons of bitches, yours truly included. Now we're all kinda stuck here, visitors in somebody else's universe, trynna get by.

[he's been wandering around for a bit, and though he hasn't really come to the landing pads since he'd found himself here, once he hears that voice, it's pretty much all he can do to see if it's true or not.

because having only himself and carolina from the same universe while their supposed teammates are from some other one? he'd really like to know that he hasn't gone insane, that the world hasn't ended, and that texas stays the same no matter what universe.

he approaches her carefully, because the last time he'd seen her, she and carolina had pretty much been at each other's throats - but that, of course, had been on the mission to bring ct back, and since it had failed ..

he doesn't know how to do this other than to simply open his mouth and start.]
.. Tex? What are you doing here?

[ the guy she'd been threatening takes his chance to scurry away when she turns at the sound of north's voice. granted, he's not her favorite person - no one is her favorite person - but he's someone that's familiar, that might know what the hell they're doing here. ]

Agent North.

[ her tone is clipped, irritated. she places a hand on one hip, cocking it out. ]

I'm trying to figure out where the hell I am and why. You got any useful information, or should I start in on the locals instead?
noscope: (→ WE HOLD THIS TRUTH)

[personal profile] noscope 2013-04-19 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[he doesn't expect to be her favorite person, but he is more than surprised to see her here - and of course, it gives him reason enough to speak up. try to get her attention.

he can't help but to straighten his posture when she calls him agent, because he hasn't heard that specific term since he'd first found himself here.

well .. he has a little bit of information for her, at the very least.]
You're on a space station called Omega. As for why you're here, exactly, I can't tell you. I don't know, myself.
mineisbigger: its teeth are razor sharp (on a mission)

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-19 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tex places her other hand on her hip. If he doesn't know, then maybe he just arrived as well. Because it's not possible they haven't figured something out. ]

Good of them to drop us into this without giving us so much as a map.

[ not that she needs it, but they usually at least get a destination brief. and yes, it's obvious she still thinks it's a sim. ]

Any clues why they sent us here?
noscope: (→ IS BETTER REPLACED BY THIS)

[personal profile] noscope 2013-04-20 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[.. well if that's how she wants to think about it, sure. it doesn't matter that they've been here for a few months and haven't figured out much of anything in the way of why they're here or how they can get back to the mother of invention.

though .. he does have to snort at that.]
There's a map of the station on your omni-tool.

[north. north don't make it worse north..] That's something else I've been trying to figure out. I honestly have no idea.
mineisbigger: its teeth are razor sharp (on a mission)

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-20 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
This?

[ She knows she has the omni tool, the thing is visible on her wrist but she assumed it was some kind of tracking device. Instead, she raises her wrist, and like it knows that's what she wants, it springs to life. Her head moves back. ]

Fancy.

[ She looks back at North, lowering her arm. ]

You got dropped here before me?
articletwelve: (✖ come on let's move out)

excuse me it's orange vs green get it right

[personal profile] articletwelve 2013-04-18 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I--

[ Anything else he was going to say dies right on his lips. It's been a long damn time since he heard that voice, and even if he knows who she (isn't) is, it still gets to him. ]

Allison.

crimson versus navy

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-19 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ the blue armor is unfamiliar to her - even if it vaguely reminds her of something. the voice that ccomes out startles her for the fact that she knows them (wash) and the name they're using.

wash isn't supposed to know that name. not at all. ]


That's Agent Texas to you, asshole. [ sorry now she's not really happy to see you, Wash. ]
articletwelve: (✜ once a soldier)

turquoise vs fucshia

[personal profile] articletwelve 2013-04-19 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, no question it's her, then. Wash raises a hand in surrender and pulls off his helmet. No, he's not blond. If nothing else, the gray in his hair and the lines on his brow tend to make the difference clear between him and whatever alternate universes are out there. ]

Tex.

I take it you just got here.
mineisbigger: its teeth are razor sharp (right between the eyes)

we already used fuschia you lose

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-19 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ She hasn't spent a lot of time around Washington without his mask on, but she knows what he should look like. This, with the lines and the gray, are a little different. It makes her posture more rigid. She doesn't like it. ]

Does the fact that I haven't been briefed on this confirm that enough for you?
donutholes: (i need your ovaries!)

not sorry

[personal profile] donutholes 2013-04-18 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ donut has very few problems with turning up in a shuttle packed with strange people, except for the fact that his armor obviously wasn't up to snuff with the local fashion trends.

so he had left it in a pile on the floor of the shuttle, much to the bewilderment of the people he got shuttled in with, and magically procured more reasonable dress by the time tex grabbed him. ]


Whoa, there! Tex? Try some manners, lady!

[ maybe he should have kept his armor on after all ]
mineisbigger: (l8r motherfucker)

you better not be mister

[personal profile] mineisbigger 2013-04-19 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tex raises her hand to grip Donut's shoulder, leaning forward a little bit - hoping to menace him, since she has no idea who he is. ]

I don't use manners on strangers that know my name.

[ The helmet glances down, the helmet glances up. ]

What are you wearing?
