*There's a bit of static, at first. Then it clears up and WHOA that's a big head. The kid in front of it squints, tapping on the lens at first, then adjusts it a bit with his hands. Wee, twisty.*

It's working? Okay, it's working. *ahem*

Greetings, various citizens of the Satellite of Love! My name... is Razputin. But people call me... Raz.

*Well that was needlessly dramatic.*

Anyway, I've been briefed on the situation by the big purple bot that kinda looks like a hand vac. Including why I suddenly can't use any of my cool psychic powers anymore... B-but don't worry! I'm an official Psychonaut! I'm sure as soon as Psychonauts HQ realizes I've gone missing, they'll send a bunch of agents to come and save everybody! So just keep tight and keep your spirits up, and we'll all be saved in no time!

*Fzzzz*

Oh, hang on, the dang transmission's -- hey, what's this piece of bacon doing here? What a waste of -- *fzzzzz*

Don't get yer hopes up, runt.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Hey, who're you calling a runt, birdbrain?!

I haven't even hit puberty yet, man, that's totally not a fair thing to call me.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

Who're you callin' a birdbrain, ya runt!?

Life ain't fair, brat. Better get used to it.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

I don't see anybody else here with a beak, do you?

And don't underestimate the Psychonauts. They've got the smartest people ever working for them. I bet they'll be coming along any time now to bust up this operation.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no.

Yeah, okay kid. I'll just sit back here and watch that not happen.

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

Hello, Raz. I'm Namine.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Then who else would I be calling a birdbrain?

Geez, you're a real hit at parties, aren't ya?

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Hiya Namine! Nice to meet you! Like I said, I'll bet the Psychonauts are on this as we speak, ready to delve into the twisted minds of the guys running this place and saving us all!

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[Namine smiles] Nice to meet you, too.

Ummm...What's a Psychonaut? If they could help us escape, that would be great.

[Has been in a hostage situation before!Namine is cautiously hopeful--as much as a Nobody can hope.]

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Psychonauts? They're the BEST! Psychic secret agents, out to save the world from the likes of dictators and madmen! They're both the guys I work for AND my heroes! Don't worry, I bet they'll find a way to get us off this thing!

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[Namine does not know what psychics, secret agents, dictators, or madmen are, but saving the world is good, so she's happy]

They sound great. Will you introduce me to them when they get here?

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

Got a problem with birds?

Depends on how much alcohol there is.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Only birds with major attitude problems.

I guess the alcohol couldn't make you any WORSE.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Totally! You've especially gotta meet Milla and Sasha. They're the coolest!

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

You ain't seen major yet.

Nah, see, it makes it easier to deal with noisy brats.

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

Good.

[Namine tilts her head to the side] Can they go between worlds? If they can't, they'll have a hard time getting here. They might not be able to at all.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I wanna. You might take out the whole satellite at that rate.

Oh, so it makes you pass out? I guess it DOES make you the life of the party.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Uh... Well, no, not as far as I know. B-but I'm sure they can figure it out! Somehow! Maybe.

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[Namine smiles. His confidence is a lot like Sora's.]

So we wait for them and think of ways to make it easier for them to help us? Or get home by ourselves?

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

No reason we can't try to do a little of all of the above, right? I'm sure if we put our minds to it, we'll find a way out of this mess!

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

There's a good chance of it, yeah.

Hey, I can hold my liquor just fine, thanks.

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[Determined Namine is determined] Right.

[Because this isn't like Castle Oblivion. She has people to help her]

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Though it'd be a lot easier if I had my psychic powers...

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Guess I know who to keep an eye on at the next party to see if you live up to that big beak of yours.

Assuming we're still here long enough to have one, anyway.

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that pony chick'll keep the parties comin'.

Don't get your hopes up.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Let's hope, I guess.

Name's Riku.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Gotta keep hope alive, right?

Hi! Nice to meet you! So you haven't been stuck here long, have you?

[the-wallman.livejournal.com]

Wait, it told you why you can't use your powers?!

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Well, it kinda did. Something about multiversal physics and dampening fields or something like that. Except it was really hard to follow, and then it started going into some tangent about someone called Richard Basehart and kind of forgot what it was talking about.

I think this is going to become my threadjack icon XD

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's Gypsy for you.

Welcome aboard, Raz!

[the-wallman.livejournal.com]

Dampening fields, huh?

[ As far as he knew, dampening fields were just a thing of fiction. But given everything the League's gone through? He can't say he's surprised. Besides, it makes sense. We can run with this.

And with that revelation, Wally's frustration vanishes and he breaks into a bright smile. ]

Okay. Thanks, uh... Raz, right? Welcome to the Satellite.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! Yeah, that robot's... it's not broken or anything, is it?

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Don't worry, I'm sure Sasha and Milla and everybody else are furiously working to figure out where I went as we speak.

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Nah, she's just got her head in the clouds a bit. Even if we're above them right now, ha.

But she means well, and she keeps us alive up here, so no harm done.

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

We'll just have to do the best we can.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it's all you got.

I don't think most of us have.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Ex-actly! So, uh, what's there to do around here in the meantime?

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

So this is a relatively NEW scheme, then. No wonder the Psychonauts haven't heard anything about it. Well, a two-bit operation like this? I can't imagine it sticking around long.

[razthepsynaut.livejournal.com]

Ah ha ha... ah ha.

I guess so. I mean, she seems nice enough. Wait, robots have genders?

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

These do, anyway.

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[Namine is kind of wondering the same things] Well, there's the experiments. I haven't had a chance to explore much.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

So what are Psychonauts, anyway?

[the-wallman.livejournal.com]

Friends of yours? There's got to be a way to send a message out, so they wouldn't have to...

[ ...brb searching the ship. Man, Rob, where are you when we need you?! ]
