Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva hospitality deck
When: Now!

[action]

[Nightingale's awakening is much lower-key than most, sitting up in the bed and realizing quickly that she is not where she should be. The best way to cope, of course, is looking around, taking in her surroundings, and just talking to herself.]

Okay... So, this must be a game. Don't think I recognize any space Echoes, though... Whatever, I should figure out the win conditions, first. And hope it's not another 'everyone dies' game.

[she lifts a hand, and a strong wind whips through the area, throwing bedsheets and pillows around.]

Okay, magic's still on, that's... usually a good sign.

[She doesn't seem to have noticed the mess she made. Or maybe she doesn't care. Either way.]

[Video]

[Having immediately fallen into the assumption that this is a game, Nightingale isn't too bothered by the idea of being able to operate technology she hasn't seen before- it's not like it's the first time, after all. She takes a deep breath, and starts talking to the camera. Noticeably, she still hasn't cleaned up her prior mess.]

This is Nightingale, from Takshaka. I don't know what's going on, but this game seems a bit different. Can you check in with which teams are here? And Roc, Gull, Hawk, Magpie, Togetic, Sparrow, any of you around?

And which Echo is this, while I'm at it? I don't recognize any with a space theme going on unless it's the damn Bone Witch again. If I see that dress or that whale again, I'm going to find a way to leave in the middle.

I haven't actually seen any cameras!

[ NOW IS SHE. Because she was happily not thinking about all the time. she thought maybe they'd be polite!!! ]

[experiencepoints]

Then how do you know it's a show at all?!

[ofbelief]

...They act like it's being broadcast when they speak every week. And we get paid.

[experiencepoints]

Lark I am really lost right now, can we start at the beginning.

[ofbelief]

Like where? That's literally all we know. I think. Is that we're here and it's on tv. And we travel through space.

[experiencepoints]

Let's start with a who 'they' is and also a why the fuck.

[ofbelief]

She calls herself Diamond. And I heard the word Atroma. I am not the person to ask these things.

[experiencepoints]

Diamond? That girl from Tiamat?

[ofbelief]

I don't know who that is.

[ help i am being a disappointment and can't provide information ]

[experiencepoints]

An asshole. It's a good thing. Never mind.

[she takes a deep breath to steady herself.]

[ofbelief]

I'm sorry. I know that's not helpful. I meant it when I said no one from any teams was here, though.

[ It's been lonely and hard hat way but Aaaah. ]

[experiencepoints]

[well, mostly what she wants to know is how bugged are the bathrooms.]

Yeah... Sorry to snap. You don't need to apologize.

... Have you been okay? Have you made new friends here?

[ofbelief]

[ let's tear them apart (no) ]

No, I have to. Because I don't really have the answers and I want to help. So...!

[ There. But she pauses awkwardly and like she's not sure of things ]

...Yeah. You could say that.

[experiencepoints]

I'm not expecting you to have the answers- that would be shitty. I'm just... really, kind of freaked out.

Oh?

[ofbelief]

That's okay. It's kind of a freaky situation. At least you didn't scream for people.

[ She will just quiet and give a non-committal nod of her head, thank you. ]

[experiencepoints]

[she looks away sheepishly]

Well... If I hadn't found this gadget, that was my backup plan.

[ofbelief]

Screaming doesn't help. It just makes other people yell at you.

[experiencepoints]

It would probably help me feel better, honestly.

[ofbelief]

Well, then. You can yell at me.

[experiencepoints]

Why would I do that?!

[ofbelief]

Because then you could yell at someone and feel better?

[experiencepoints]

Lark, I don't want to yell at you, I want to yell at whoever's responsible for this.

[ofbelief]

Oh.

[ ... ]

That's going to be a while.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah, probably.

[ofbelief]

I'm sorry. But until then we have each other.
