A cry for help

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]



ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

[ She smiles a little defeatedly ]

It's not that I'm worried about. I just don't want you to get hurt.

[ It's probably important to introduce herself, right? ]

I'm Ino -- what's your name?
princessia: (11)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I understand that I'm still a child and that I must prioritize self-protection.

[ She says some of the words slowly, clearly parroting words from a friend back home. But unlike some of the other things she repeats, she understands this is especially important. ]

My name is Elize Lutus. It's nice to meet you.
ino: (Giggle.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-14 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... She laughs quietly at that. Well, she's clearly got SOME kind of guardian here, if she's saying stuff like that ... ]

Nice to meet you, Elize. How old are you?
princessia: ((anime) 13)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Twelve.

[ And just in case Ino has any qualms about her age, she must quickly explain how useful she can be in combat. ]

My spells aren't effective against the bugs, but I can heal!
ino: (Join us!)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-14 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ She grins ]

You know, when I was your age, I was already a full-fledged warrior.

[ She doesn't have too much of a qualm, anyways! She's just being protective because that's what she's supposed to do -- as a warrior, as a captain of the fleet, as a fellow girl. ]

I'm sure you'll be very helpful. C'mon. [ She gestures for Elize to follow her, before heading into the ship ]
princessia: (skit - 05)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Wow...

[ She's beaming now, happy to know that her age isn't much of a problem and eager to see what Ino can do. Elize is already considered a master at spirit channeling at her age, but that's something she keeps quiet about. ]

Yes. I'll do my best.

[ And she tags along close behind her as they head into the ship. ]
ino: (Smile.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-14 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Twelve is the age most people from my village graduate from the Academy and start going on missions.

[ Good Elize! She gives an approving smile when she sees Elize plans on sticking close, before venturing on in and looking around carefully ]

What ship are you on, Elize?
princessia: (skit - 01)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know people could graduate so young!

[ She sounds amazed. Then again, she'd never been to school. But she's pretty sure most children on her world don't graduate from school at twelve. ]

Oh. I'm on the Huntress.
ino: (Gentle.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-14 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
I think the school where I come from is a bit different. Most people say the same thing.

[ She examines the walls closely as they talk, just in case more bugs pop out at them ]

The Huntress, huh ... ? [ The only person she knows on that ship is Cole, and she ... really doesn't like the guy, but -- she'll be diplomatic ] Do you like it?
princessia: ((anime) 08)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
I've never been to school...

[ She watches Ino examine the walls for a moment, remaining alert, then glances around at their surroundings. She'd better stay on guard too. ]

I like it a lot. I get to be closer to Cullen.

[ Even though she got somewhat annoyed with him recently... ]
ino: (Pardon?)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-14 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? How come?

[ Hopefully nothing traumatizing or terrible. Oops. ]

Cullen ... A friend of yours?
princessia: (10)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-14 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't have anyone to send me to school. I... don't think I'd want to go anyway.

[ And other various circumstances have been keeping her from attending. ]

Um... yes.

[ More like a father figure now. ]
ino: (Cheerful.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-15 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
It can definitely be pretty boring sometimes, that's for sure ...

[ She opens a door into another room now, careful to keep Elize behind her as she checks around the room before stepping into it ]

Well, that's good. It's always nice to be with someone you care about.
princessia: (skit - 03)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-16 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ She leans to the side slightly, remaining behind Ino and trying to peek around to see if there's bugs or anything else up ahead. ]

I don't think learning new things is boring. I just want to bring my friend with me to school... but I think they'll get mad.
ino: (I don't get it.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-16 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ She glances back at Elize curiously ]

Mad? Why?
princessia: ((anime) 13)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-16 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
...Teepo's a stuffed animal.

[ A talking one. And a friend! She sounds embarrassed saying this. ]
ino: (Say wha?)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-16 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ino has been around enough weird stuff to not really question it that much. ]

And they would get mad if you took them to school? Or the school would get mad at you for bringing them?
princessia: (skit - 03)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-17 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Both, maybe?

[ She wouldn't know how the school faculty is. But most people think Teepo is creepy and that carrying around a stuffed animal at her age is strange. ]

Because he's a toy. But he's not just a toy, he's a friend!
ino: (Stay back!)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-17 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods ]

I understand. Some people just --

[ Well, she was GOING to say something nice, but that sure is a bug jumping down from the ceiling in front of them! She makes sure Elize is behind her before she swings her leg around to kick it into the wall with a crunch, leaving a dent in the wall beneath it from the force of the kick ]

Could you not interrupt? Jeez.
princessia: (skit - 07)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-17 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Elize is normally alert, but not that time. She lets out a startled gasp as the bug drops down, jumping back a little. When Ino quickly takes care of it, she steps forward, in awe.

She'd be grossed out by the bug, but... paying attention to strong ladies is more important! ]


Ino, you're amazing!
ino: (Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge~)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-17 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs a little at how amazed Elize seems as she's wiping her foot off on the floor. Gross bugs ... ]

Keep your eyes open, there might be more close by.
princessia: (skit - 05)

[personal profile] princessia 2015-06-25 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes ma'am!

[ Oops, she may have let her guard down just for a second. Nodding, she scans the area with her eyes for any more incoming bugs, back to being attentive. ]
