WHO "Ino" & YOU
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!!
ACTION Starstruck for anyone that might look in the cargo bay.
WHEN April 12th.

[ Ino, what'choo doin'? She looks... strained. Stressed, but trying to hold it together. She's sitting in front of the camera, taking a deep breath as if to prepare herself for what she is about to say. ]

Hey, guys. This is really sudden, but I need to ask a favor of anyone who'd listen. It's important! I've got this friend... he's got a huge problem. Back where he's from, some people can hold a lot of powers in them, not magic or anything like that, and they need to take even more in sometimes or they go crazy. Or die.

Does anyone have any powers they could... lend him? He'll give them back, he promises, it's just—[ She reaches up, clutches at her chest like it's hurting her to think about it. Judging by the slight sheen of sweat on her face, maybe it is. ]—he needs help really badly. I'm worried about him, and there's not much I can do...

[ Her head dips, long bangs covering her face before she sucks in a breath, part for the show and part out of real difficulty in keeping herself together right now, before her hand snaps out and she turns off the feed to collect herself. ]

[ She frowns into the screen, obviously concerned. ]

Your friend... You're talking about Erin, aren't you? [ Never mind that Erin was a girl when Steph met her... She remembers what she told her about powers on their world, and how they worked. It sounds the same, though it seems Erin may have left some details out. ] I don't have any powers or I'd help, but is sh- he alright?

[ O-oh. It's a lot like getting your hand caught in the cookie jar and she startles briefly before she sucks in a breath and looks down again. ]

No, not really. It's getting bad.

[ She grimaces, and bites her thumbnail while she considers it. ]

What... What's wrong, exactly? Like, physically? Or is it all just... [ She waves a hand in the air around one side of her head. ] In his head?

[mysterzie]

Not all in his head. [ That's definitely a vehement reaction, more than she intends but playing this correctly and actually like someone watching from the outside isn't really an option. ] It's like his body's tearing itself apart from the inside out.
