A Sable (with her two headmates) appears in orbit of a superhero world, wearing a Violet Power Ring.

She's walking to the kitchen when it happens, alone in an empty house, no company except two warm presences in her mind. She's a bit tired from a day of remote work, untransitioned, getting deadnamed for money. But she loves helping people anyway, and loves the future she's saving up to build.

And then, without even the courtesy of a moment of discontinuity or a swirling hop through the Blind Eternities, she's in space.

She's in hard vacuum, with no suit.

Oh shit, oh shit, she's in space with no suit.

She manages enough presence of mind to buy herself about thirty seconds, though, by immediately exhaling every bit of air from her lungs.

She resets off of the panic, reassesses. Wow, space is great. Deadly, bitterly cold, but gorgeous. Does she have any way out of this unexpected mess?

Wait, is that something on her hand?

There is!

At the thought about space, a gentle enfolding warmth, tingling against her skin swiftly forms, and the chill seeps away. 

It's oddly relaxing in a way. 

[Sable Mallory of [Information not found] - You have great love in your heart. Welcome to the Star Sapphire Corps.]

Wow. Wow. She has a Violet Power Ring. Also, breathing is really great. She loves being able to safely enjoy space. That's so much better than just being in space without a suit. She gazes admiringly back and forth between her new ring and the amazing view.

<Girls, is it just me or do I have the absolute best schizotech omnitool ever invented on my finger?>

Permalink

A familiar voice blooms in Sable's mind, patient and steady like a battleship's steel hull. <Yes, love, it certainly looks like your newest accessory is a beautiful piece of Glowtech.>

Permalink

Another, less a voice than the idea of a response, bounces up as well. <Hah, you lucky bitch! This is great!>

Permalink

<Oh, Sable, here's a thought. I bet you can transition instantly if you focus self-love the right way. Just remember that Neo and I love you.>

Permalink

<We love you and you deserve this.>

Permalink

Warm affection filling her mind, Sable considers how much her girls have helped her learn to love herself, how much Maya and Neo have helped her accept that a reflection she'd love to see in the mirror is in reach, and how deeply she'd love to finally be who she truly is.

Ring, she'd really love to be her true shape.

[Commencing Crystal Conversion...]

A glow of violet light seeps into Sable's body, before slowly cocooning her in a jagged crystals of a deep purple, her body slowly shifting into her proper form, flesh rippling and shifting in place.

Permalink

Wow, that is an incredibly weird feeling. When the crystal shatters, she's left panting and gasping, noticing and loving little things like the changed sound of her breath, or the way her chest moves as she breathes. She looks down at her hands, shocked and delighted.

<...It worked.>

Permalink

Wordless glee bursts from Neo.

Permalink

<I'm so happy for you, love,> Maya responds, warmth palpable in her mental voice. <You deserve this.>

Permalink

A sudden mental image of a mirror, in a questioning tone.

Permalink

<Good idea! Love you~>

She reflects on how much she'd really love to see what she looks like now, and more fully enjoy having her proper body.

Permalink

An image of herself pops into her head, an intricately detailed 3d render of her new form in a tight purple plugsuit, complete with slick latex-esque gloves, surrounded with a gentle glow of the violet light against the void.

 

Permalink

Holy shit, she looks amazing!

Permalink

Shocked, delighted, gleeful affection bubbles back!

Permalink

She gives Sable a mental hug, brimming with warmth. <Oh Sable, now that's the body my Captain deserves.>

Permalink

She officially loves her life even more now.

Permalink

Okay, how about she figures out what's going on? She glances around for a planet, then gives it a look to see how much it looks like an Earth she recognizes. Also, she'd really love to know if there are some eavesdroppable comms. Dropping some eaves on some local comms could build up to discreetly snooping the local internet, if these people have one, and she loves the internet.

It looks pretty like Earth! It's night, down below, and there's an awful lot of lights - more than she remembers. Rather then just a handful of cities and a clinging clump of lights around the western edge of Russia, alongside the the shining starburst of Moscow and the dim gleam of St. Petersburg and a handful of other places, there's a density of dim barely there gleams of habitation sprinkled throughout the continent, with a handful of shining cities gleaming brightly oddly high-up. 

There's a few spots of odd darkness sprinkled throughout the rest of Asia, though it looks brighter, too, more civilization coating the surface of the world than she had seen, before, in the blur of countries that are harder to recognize. 

China looks much the same further east, with the same increase in lights spread throughout the western expanse of the country. 

Japan shines like a radiant jewel, the land of the rising sun full of color against the night, more than ever before. 

Korea is clearer, too - the shadow of north Korea seems lighter, here.

[Communications available.]

There's all that you'd expect from a modern earth and a little more! All sorts of standard EM transmissions fill the air, television and internet and radio are all accessible with a thought. There's also a few odder things - perhaps a dozen different subspace communication systems, a few somethings that vaguely resembles a gravitic communication methodology, and a handful of more traditional communication methods. The ring also pipes in awareness of countless cables across the globe, transmitting data electronically and optically, and the awareness that accessing them is possible.

Oh that's gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful, and brighter than home.

<They also have comms that we're used to thinking of as science fiction. Subspace and gravitics look fascinating to play with.>

Neo throws forward an image of a newspaper, then jumps on Sable's back in mindspace, hugging her tightly around the shoulders.
