[ can't do that while stunned. ]
Who: Belthazar & you!
Broadcast: Open to the fleet.
Action: On the Marsiva.
When: A reasonable hour on 3/25
[action;]
[Anyone on the Marsiva can find a short fussy elf if they'd like. He spends most of his time in the kitchen trying to figure out what weird-ass ingredients he's supposed to cook with, but he can also be found just... staring outside the window.]
[video;]
[This is not Belthazar's first rodeo. He's not going to sit here and play with the console for your entertainment. He figures it out in about two seconds, being familiar with comm devices already, and he is furious. The look he gives and his tone are ice cold. That combined with the glowing green eyes is a pretty freaky effect, but he looks and sounds fairly young.]
Is this some kind of game, Initiative? I am DONE. Do you understand? This is unacceptable. I did not ask to be removed from my property, and my books-- [oh, he is so angry about his books]-- and I have studies I must attend to. My arcane research is infinitely more important than your misguided sloppy war or your failed attempts at entertainment, which I assume this is supposed to be.
[He leans back, looking about as severe as a fifteen year old can look.]
I'm waiting.

[He also recognizes a tantrum]
Iiii don't think that'll work, kid.
This isn't them anyway.

The nurse? [He forgot your name. Sorry, Kaneis. But he does know you're not a piece of crap so he believes you, mostly.] This doesn't seem like the U.E., so then what...
[He rubs at his temple in perfect imitation of someone who is at least twenty years older and sick of shit.]
video;
Some other group, called Atroma. UE and Initiative's not around anymore, so it's not them for sure.
video;
Wait-- what? Where have they gone?
video;
War's over.

Rest assured, I don't think anybody here asked for this.

Master! Do you know what's going on? [Time for talking too fast.] I've been trying to contact whoever is in charge for hours but I haven't had any luck. Every attempt I've made at teleporting hasn't worked at all. The threads are all wrong, there's no ley lines anywhere in sight so I can't quite pinpoint the interference--
no subject
Whoa--slow down, kid. Slow it down. And don't call me that.
[There's a palpable shudder in his words.]
no subject
Did... I do something wrong? [His fingers tremble beneath his sleeves, and he fights to calm them. His voice gets very quiet.] I am sorry, Mast-- er, Magister. It will not happen again.

For some reason, she had the knowledge of how to cook with it as soon as she tried (no one explained the augment thing to her yet). Why she knew how to cook with it baffled her, but she just rolled with it. And she might as well use it to try and help someone.
Kairi quietly enters the kitchen, walking over to the newcomer with a smile.]
Hello. Do you need help cooking with this stuff? It's pretty weird, but it's not hard once you get the hang of it.
no subject
It's not that he dislikes her. It's more that-- he's not used to talking to girls, and he sorta shies away. Ducks his head and doesn't make eye contact.]
Unless you can get me real food, I really doubt it. What is this slop supposed to be? Prison food? I ate rats that looked tastier than this.
[He grumbles, but the tofu stuff doesn't actually smell that bad with the teriyaki melted on top of it.]
no subject
[Whether he's that shy or she's being an annoyance, she's not sure. She'll leave if he asks, but she thought he might like to know he's not alone in this new mess they've all found themselves in.]
It looks like you got the hang of cooking with it, though. What are you cooking?
no subject
This would be balsamic chicken if... I had balsamic vinegar, rosemary, olive oil, and poultry. Instead I must settle for this... sweet... stuff. I suppose it's premade sauce. I can make do.
[He flips the tofu over to make sure it's crispy.]
I suppose it smells edible, but I'm unsure.

Sorry, but ... it's not that easy to leave, unfortunately.
video;
I have a feeling I won't like what you're about to tell me.
[At least he's realistic about it.]
Reading through the archives has not given me as much information as I'd like, so I would... appreciate it if you filled me in.
[A pause, and consideration for his master's endless patience.]
... please.

Well the gist of it -- as you've probably read -- is that we're being watched by an audience, and the more entertaining we are, the more we get paid. The money can go to upgrading the ship you're staying on or whatever else you want.
Atroma, the people behind bringing us here, have said something about letting us leave if we achieve great ratings, but personally I'm kind of inclined to believe that's not really true.

I take it I cannot simply buy a way home.

[Finrod skims through the previous responses and waits patiently for the young man to calm down enough to hold a civil conversation.]
no subject
A different name, but still the same. We're prisoners. [He's very bitter about this.] I have studies. I have training. I can't turn my back on those things, not even if I am paid to tolerate their absence. I am not motivated by money.

Magic. The mysteries of the arcane, the intricacies of fire and frost magic-- all of them are things I need to master in order to join the ranks of the Kirin Tor. My knowledge is limited so long as I'm cut off from books and other resources.
Like-- mana.
[At that last word, he looks away. This is going to be hard, he knows it.]
