Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Huntress...?!
When: Following the shuffle

[ACTION]

[HELLO, HUNTRESS. There's a not so tiny child trying to sneak onto your ship, which might not be so easy. Given that she's in a deep purple magical girl outfit and isn't very good at darting around sneakily at all. And she might be taking the time to decorate the ship with tiny handmade cut-outs of animals and little phrases about smiling and doing your best. And just smiley faces.

So the truth is she's really bad at this hiding thing, but she's definitely going to go hide in the room that says 'RILEY MATTHEWS' on the door and pops in and out from there.]

[A little while later and after more than a little bit of uncertainty, she decides to do broadcast.]

Hi. I arrived here a few weeks ago and I haven't really said anything yet. Sorry. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to help me. And to the Paisley, too, for being really nice to me. So, thank you.

I know there's a lot of other things going on, but I thought that was important.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Riley Matthews. [She pauses briefly to let out a breath.] Or I'm Rainbow Lark. Both names are important, so I don't mind either. Whatever name you call me, I want to help. Riley and Lark would like to. I don't have magic and I'm not really good at anything, but that's not important.

At least. That's what I've been told. So the only thing I can really do is be there for people. Which isn't that helpful against weird alien things, I know, but maybe a little bit of normal is okay to.

So. Hi. Again. I'm Riley. Or Lark. And I really look forward to being able to learn from everyone. I've learned a lot recently, and I want to learn more.

...And thanks.

[Again! But she seems very awkward and shy and not sure what she's wanting to say. Maybe what little she did say was too much, or maybe it wasn't. But it's enough for her so she smiles and waves and stops it there. Because she can't fight against anything out there and she knows that, but maybe that's okay here, too.]

That doesn't seem like it would be very exciting for them.

Eh, maybe not. I mean, there are about a million of us from that "Paradisa" place on its own, and that's already caused drama for their stupid cameras.

Yeah, but if they really wanted drama they could stir it up they wanted to. Just taking us from other places isn't that much, right?

Anything helps, I guess.

[huff]

The relationships they get from taking friends that met in different worlds is enough to go on.

You can just make friends again. It's not as bad as some things.

Well, of course. I don't think anybody's managed to get here and not make any friends yet. But it's still easier to shake things up when there's some sad backstory to get the crowd into.

I wouldn't know, I don't have any of that. [ except kyr stuff but ] I just know for a fact they could do a lot more if they really wanted to.

Hey, don't give 'em ideas. They already stirred up my life more than enough.

When they kidnap you that kinda happens.

Well, yeah, but it kind of goes beyond that. It's not a huge deal anymore, though.

[your brother being here is a massive deal shut your mouth hiro]

[ she kind of understands since kyriakos canon is literally your entire world gets destroyed and her dad is here. so. ]

No, but to some people it is. Maybe that's why they keep kidnapping them.

... Probably. It's a solid plan for ratings, anyway.

We can't be that entertaining. Talking like this.
