→ [network - audio, then video, and then text]

[at first, there's just the sound of someone fiddling with the buttons on some network station. technology is difficult, okay.

then, the camera turns on, and everyone watching will be treated to the sight of a raggedy, scarred-up teenager blinking in surprise at the screen. or... maybe it's not technically considered blinking, because he only has one eye.

he frowns hard when he realizes that he's turned the video on. that's not what he was aiming for. a second later, the video cuts off... and several seconds after that, a text transmission is sent out.]

hello.


→ [action - aboard the Marsiva]

[for anyone awake this late on the Marsiva--or awoken by the sound of someone angrily messing around with the buttons at a nearby network station--they can find this guy failing at technology.

I'm sure he's very friendly. you should say hi.]

Hi there, kiddo.

[mortalcoil]

[give him a second. he might not be a skilled typist.]

who are you

voice forever

[aberrant_type]

The name's Zoe Hange, captain of the SS Red Fish!

That's not where you are, before you ask.

text until the end of time

[mortalcoil]

what is this

?

[aberrant_type]

What do you mean in particular?

[mortalcoil]

[ugh, don't complicate it]

tell me whats going on

[aberrant_type]

You're in a space ship! A space ship is a thing that can fly, but past the sky you normally see when you're at home... well, I presume. There's no air outside, but there are stars, moons and various other things that you find in space.

[mortalcoil]

[ugggggh he's sighing on his side of the network]

why

[aberrant_type]

For the entertainment of others, to put it bluntly.

[mortalcoil]

[oh, well... that answers a lot for him, actually. and since text doesn't really equate as an active conversation to him, there's a big pause before he finally comes back to it]

trapped again

[aberrant_type]

In two words, yes.

[At least she... sounds like she's taking it moderately seriously?? idk]

[mortalcoil]

you ?

?

[aberrant_type]

Before we go on, I'm curious what you meant by "again."

[mortalcoil]

castle

tower

[aberrant_type]

[Annoying to have to put words in his mouth but she doesn't expect she'll be getting much otherwise.]

Were you imprisoned, or were you drawn to a new place before?

[mortalcoil]

[yeah get used to it]

?

[aberrant_type]

Were you imprisoned?

[mortalcoil]

yes

[aberrant_type]

Well, yes, here you are again, then.

[mortalcoil]

[and so he'll repeat his earlier... question?]

you ?

[aberrant_type]

I'm inclined to look on the bright side!

[mortalcoil]

???

[aberrant_type]

That's me!

Anyway, think about how much it's possible to learn here! New technology! Incredible things you can see and interesting people to talk to!

[mortalcoil]

[he is less than impressed with the notion]

i need to go home

[aberrant_type]

Haha, that's nothing new! But from the looks of things, you should expect to be around for a while!
