[voice/action] comas are fun?????

Who: Doudanuki & All Y'all
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Caprine
When: August 14th, aka right now

Action: Caprine

[Anyone on the Caprine can probably hear when Doudanuki wakes up because he does so by yelling loudly as he jumps out of bed. He can't remember the last time he was awake and that concerns him - a lot.

So fellow Capriners will probably hear him as he thunders around checking on people or trying to figure out why the hell he was unconscious for an entire month. How he greets them depends on whether he knows them yet or not:

For new characters to the Caprine since June]

...And who're you supposed to be?

[For characters he knows already]

Hey. What the hell happened to everyone?

Voice: Network
[Later, after he realizes that comas are just things that happen because why not? This place is insane enough already.

And then he's at the comms station and notices something weird.]

What happened to that other ship? What the hell did you guys do while I was asleep??

Doudanuki! It is good to see you up and about again, mon ami.

As for the ship, it was...eaten, I believe. By the Marsiva.

[Yeah, he doesn't understand it, either. It's a thing. A thing that happened. ]

How long was I out for? [Because it's unsettling that he can't remember.] Last thing I remember, we were gettin' off the Marsiva.

S'what Fie said, too. No crew was seen though. You hear about what happened to them?

Hmmm- a few weeks, then. We have arrived at a new star-system.

[So they get to go, you know, outside again. Outside is nice.]

From what I understand, they had all transferred onto other sips. It was empty when it...got eaten. Which is quite a sight to see.

[Wow, he hopes it doesn't eat the rest of them. That would suuuuuck. ]

[He grunts in distaste at that number - way longer than he thought and more than he'd wanted.] Yeah, noticed that there were new lights down below.

[But not 100% certain he wants to go down there yet. Although he's relieved to hear the crew didn't just up and vanish. Transferring to a diferent ship isn't so bad at all.]

Fie said it got crunched in half by the docking bay doors. Did someone make the Marsiva mad?

It is quite a fascinating place, mon ami! Very loud and bustling, it is full of life! You will not be at a loss for things to do.

[...Fie why are you like this? He kind of stares off into the middle distance for a moment, before turning his attention back to the screen.]

Perhaps she spoke out of turn, it was a confusing time. [Just gonna...diplomatically dance around the fact she's being a shit. He's good at this, Adam has given him great practise. ] But it simply opened up and swallowed the Paisley whole. I imagine it was done because the ship was empty? No one would wish to watch an empty ship, after all.

So there's things to fight down there then?

[Because unless there are things to fight, he'll be at a loss for things to do, Lumiere.]

But what d'you mean "out of turn?" If it didn't crunch it, then she lied. [FIE, RUSTS TO YOU, FIE. HE SEES YOUR LIES.] At least it wasn't 'cause the ship got angry though. After seein' the huge ass gun it has inside it and now hearing it can just swallow ships whole, I dunno if I want to piss it off.

I am not so sure about the fighting? It is possible. There seems to be an opportunity to do just about anything you want.

[Please don't overdo it, buddy, you've just been in a coma. Come on. ]

It happened every quickly, she was probably mistaken. [This is what he has chosen to do with his life. Defend people when they're being assholes. Great life choices, there. ]

Me either. Atroma did not say anything after it had...happened, though. I was honestly expecting a little gloating. It was disappointing.

[Not even an evil cackle. ]

If there ain't nothing to fight, then I'll get bored pretty quick.

[Please. He'd fight in a coma if he could.]

But whatever. I'll just take what she says with a coat of dust. Atroma doesn't seem all that interested in talkin' to us now that they killed the other hosts.

[He remembers that display. It was...disturbing.]

Not even really sure if they're the ones in charge or it was just some sorta ploy.

Perhaps you will be fortunate and find something.

[It's wise to do that, buddy. Fie is a little shit. ]

I think they are simply the faces of Atroma. A public appearance, while the truth is something more less pleasant.

I hear that "bar fights" are a thing. Maybe I can do one of those.

[Not that he knows what a "bar fight" is, but it has "fight" in the word so it has to be good, right?]

So a ploy then. Gods, why is this place so complicated? I miss havin' a Saniwa to tell me where to go and who to kick the shit out of.

[And a larger purpose, people to protect, allies at his back, and the camaraderie of over 50 other swords.]

Certainly. I am sure you could start one, if you so wanted.

[Swords gotta fite, he gets it.]

I am not one for following orders all that well, but I do miss having the Master to take care of. That was a much simpler task, and in the good old days, it was most enjoyable. It has been too long since I have thrown a ball.

[That's HIS battleground, and oh how he misses it. ]

[Awww, bro.] Thanks.

[He means that in all sincerity. That's so nice of Lumiere to say.]

But why don't you throw one here? There's a bunch of people and they'd probably love to get fancy for a ball. A bunch of 'em went back on that one planet.

[To the party he couldn't get into because he refused to leave his weapon behind. Dammit.]

[Oh, THAT ball. That...isn't a bad idea. They have ROOM for it, and sure he'd need a little help moving stuff around- but he's sure he can pull it off. I might even get Cogsworth to help. ]

That is not a bad idea, mon ami! Perhaps we could hold it in one of the empty rooms aboard the Iskaulit! Lots of space there! One that looks out on a window, to a blanket of stars! Oui, it would be very romantic!

Yeah I don't see why not. There's a bunch of people who'd probably do food, too. And we got a couple bars for drinks.

[Not that...he knows about "romantic" or anything but--]

No reason why you can't just do what you do here. I find a way to get into fights whenever I can after all.

You are right! It could be a real community project. It would bring people together for something enjoyable.

[Something that hopefully Atroma can't take away from them, but you never know.]

It is a little more difficult without the requisite limbs, but I think I can make a good enough try of it.

Eh, I can help you carry stuff or set things up if you need it. I don't know crap about parties, but I know how to cart things around at least.

Merci, that would be most helpful! I can direct you, at least, to make a really enchanting ball. They will talk about it for years.

As long as you get all the credit. I don't really want any of the spotlight on this.

[NO ONE CAN KNOW HE HELPED MAKE A PARTY.]

[You know, if Lumière were a modest, humble man he would have insisted Doudanuki get credit for all his hard work, because it would be the fair thing to do. Hard work gets its just rewards and all that.

Luckily for him, Lumière is absolutely not a modest, humble man. At all.]

That, mon ami I can do. No fear, no one will ever know you had any involvement.

[Thank the gods for Lumiere's ego then. Doudanuki is 100% down with not getting recognition for doing anything that isn't related to war.]

Good. War swords shouldn't be known for "parties."

[His ego saves the day again!]

Of course not, I would not want to damage your warrior credentials.

[You mean 'for once.']

Hn, thanks. Not that I get much use here. Might as well be rustin'.

Perhaps you can find something else, to prevent the...rusting feeling.

[He has a flash of memory, something that he saw back on the Marsiva and shakes his head.]

It'll be fine. It's not an unfamiliar feeling, so I can deal with it. You just focus on that party of yours.

I will do my best, mon ami. Though I would be much more comfortable knowing that you are happy.
