Who: Krista Kingsley
Broadcast: Open!
Action: Marsiva only.
When: Space time. Who knows.

[so the video turns on to show an... annoyed-looking teenage girl. long, black hair. lots of eyeshadow. she clears her throat, but that does absolutely nothing to stop her from talking in a quiet whisper the whole time. at least she seems to know how to talk to a camera.]

Okay, so. Uh. Hi.

I assume there's a bunch of people on the other end of this? Otherwise I'm going to look stupid talking to a screen, but... Whatever. I'm in space. I know guys back home that would kill for the chance to be kidnapped and held for entertainment on a creepy space station. I'm... Wait, hang on, let me see if I care.

[she looks elsewhere for a moment, lips pressing into a thin line, before...]

Nope. I don't care. Almost did, for a minute, and then I remembered how much this sucks.

[she gestures... vaguely.] Okay, so this is turning into a pretty bad introduction, but I guess I just wanted to say, uh, hello, I'm Krista, and I'd love to talk to someone... about... how we're all stuck here up in space? Unless there's something way better to talk about. I don't know. Whatever. I'm really bad at this.

[of course, anyone who is on the Marsiva is welcome to find her! she's just standing around one of the network panels, looking annoyed, maybe a little nervous. kind of fidgety.]

I try.

[he drums his fingers while he thinks]

...So, I take it that you're not on a ship yet?

[ladiesss]

Well, I'm on a ship, but I don't think it's one of your guys'. This is the mothership, or something.

[heresyandlace]

...So you haven't met your crew yet.

[he sounds just a little dire about it for omnious effect]

[ladiesss]

My... Crew? You mean, after I get transferred to another ship or whatever?

[heresyandlace]

Yes.

The people you're going to be trapped in a small space with for the foreseeable future.

[ladiesss]

Oh. So just like highschool dorms.

[...though he probably doesn't know what that is.]

Who are you stuck with?

[heresyandlace]

Someone who tried to strangle me on our first day, and a demon.

[ladiesss]

... Still sounds like highschool.

[heresyandlace]

I got a good bunch.

...The others are far more annoying, though. You'll hate it.

[ladiesss]

See, now you're going out of your way to make me unhappy.

[heresyandlace]

I'm just trying to warn you.

But if you'd rather jump in blind, that's fine by me.

[ladiesss]

Well, I... can't, now that you've told me.

[heresyandlace]

...It implies that I have other things I could tell you.

[he knows things shut up]

[ladiesss]

Like what?

[yeah, Tek, like what?]

[heresyandlace]

Like warning you on people and things to avoid.

[ladiesss]

Like who? Tell me. I want to know. Spoil the mystery for me.

[heresyandlace]

I don't know. You seemed pretty set on being surprised.

[ladiesss]

I've changed my mind upon hearing of your infinite wisdom.

[heresyandlace]

[a low giggle. he'll take it, even with the sarcasm.]

Well... there is one boy who seems particularly fond at laying curses. I'd watch out for him if I were you.

[not that she has a problem with tricky sorts of magic like--oh wait.]

[ladiesss]

Oh, that might actually be important. [color her impressed! she figured he was just lying to look cool.] Do you know his name?

[heresyandlace]

Henry.

[because once she meets him, she'll understand why you must put the emphasis on his name]

[ladiesss]

Oh. With malice, I see.

[she'll... keep an eye out?]

Anyone else?

[heresyandlace]

I haven't seen any vampires yet.

[heh. heh.]

[ladiesss]

[...]

Ha ha. Very funny.

[heresyandlace]

I'm just trying to look out for you.
