Who: Shirley and all!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Now

[There's a teenage girl broadcasting, with a polite smile and an air of formal pleasantness about her.]

Hello, everybody. This is Shirley of the...formerly of the SS Huntress? I'm on the Marsiva again, so the Atroma must have done something. I know people have fallen asleep for a long time before, but I remember Varric...

[Shirley's smile fades, and some of the formality in her demeanor drops away as hesitation takes its place. She's still making an effort to stay positive, though!]

Could anybody please tell me what date it is? As best as we can, around here. I'd also appreciate if somebody could tell me more about what system we're in as well. And of course, if anyone who knows me is seeing this I'd like to hear from you. Has it been a while?

In any case, to everyone - thank you for hearing me now. Whatever's going on outside of the Marsiva right now, I hope you've found something to enjoy here.

[And for anybody else on the Marsiva, she'll just be exploring the ship until it's time for ship assignments and more confetti probably. Shirley barely saw the Marsiva before getting whisked away the first time, so she may as well take advantage of the opportunity now.

And besides, she's been wanting to look for something here. Time to check in all those nooks and crannies...]

[Well this guy sure remembers her, and looks very thrilled]

Shirley! Welcome back!

Allen!

[Shirley's looking mighty relieved right now. Friend count: at least one.]

I don't remember being gone, but I'm glad to be back all the same. I'm sorry if I worried you while I was...wherever I was.

It's alright. I'm just happy to see you again.

[And that you remember!! Even better]

It's been quite awhile. It's July 9th, right now.

That's...that is a long time.

[Too long to summarize easily, she's guessing. Lot of catch-up to do.]

I wonder what the Atroma were thinking? Did I bore them?

[Admittedly, she's never been good at playing to the cameras. And she's just Shirley, nothing grand out here...]

I can't say. I don't know what Atroma's thinking half the time.

They'd be foolish to think you're boring though.

[Okay, that gets a smile out of her. Allen you flatterer.]

Thank you, Allen. But really, I think I would be more interesting to watch if they sent me home. There's plenty I have to do there.

[Some things never change okay]

Really? What are you doing back home?

Much of it has to do with building relations between people where I come from. We're going through some major changes and I'm involved in the process, with a lot of help.

[Shirley's restraining herself from getting too detailed too fast, but it's clear enough that it's a topic she feels strongly about.]

Even if they don't like politics, I think people would probably enjoy watching me fight monsters whenever I leave home more than they would watching me checking over the ship's lab.

Wow...

I didn't know that you were in politics, or fought monsters. [Not sure which one is more surprising- probably the politics one]

Really? I've talked about it with a few people, and it's very important to me...but those things have had a much smaller part in my life since I came here.

[Which would be the reason why she's surprised they took her back here.]

Yeah, I suppose it just didn't come up.

That's really great though! What relations are you trying to build back home?

It's between races. Where I come from the Ferines and Orerines have been enemies for a long time, but we're trying to find a path where both can walk together. It's very new, though, so I really would like to go back and keep working to make that happen.

Ah..yeah. That sounds like a really important job! Good luck!

[Finding a path so former enemies can get along? Yeesh. Allen will stick to fighting demons]

I'm sure you'll get back there one day.

[Fighting monsters is way easier. Even the zombie monsters.]

I hope so. But I'm still here, so it looks like I'll have to wait a while longer.

Yeah...that does put a delay in things.

But still. I'm happy to see you again.

Yeah, so am I. I know a lot of other people must have disappeared, too...I'm glad that you're still here.

Yeah...Ha.

Don't worry about me! I'll be here a long time, I'm sure!

That's right...you were someplace like this before, weren't you?

Yeah, I was. For a little while, at least.

Do you have anything you want to get back to?

Um...

[Let's think a moment what he has to deal with back home:

> Apocalyptic War.
> Slowly dying via Noah.
> A massive stab wound.
> Pissing off and leaving the Order.
> Being Hunted by Noah.
> Noah being convinced they're related.
> Apparently going to go missing for months. ]

Ah, s-sure. But...Nothing that can't wait!

[Well how's she supposed to know it's a bad question if you don't tell her, Allen. :| As it is Shirley can tell something's a little off about his response, but she chooses not to push the issue.]

Well...I hope both of us are able to go home sooner rather than later. They can't drag this out forever, can they?

[Look Shirley he hasn't even told his boyfriend the full extent of what happens when he goes home. Allen Walker sucks at sharing things.]

Well, I sure hope they can't.

[Shirley is a big proponent of openness and honesty!!! Admittedly she believes in them because she also used to be bad at both too. So, relatable.]

It's been eight months since I first came here, and...several more months. How long can they really watch us?

Edited (accidentally submitted early whoops) 2016-07-29 06:10 (UTC)

Well...I'm not sure.

Then again, I know the Golden Girls ran for seven years, and that was a television show too.

[The things you learn living with Crowley honestly]
