Who: Nightingale and you!
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.

[ofbelief]

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

[experiencepoints]

Yeah. That's comforting... I would be a lot more scared on my own.

[ofbelief]

I think you'd be okay, you're way tougher.

[experiencepoints]

Depends on if going back to bed counts as 'okay', really. That's what I'd be doing on my own.

[ofbelief]

As long as you don't stay in bed forever.

[experiencepoints]

If I do that, maybe they won't put me on fucking TV.

[ofbelief]

Then you'd just disappear and no one knows what happens then.

[experiencepoints]

Going back to the castle would be too much to hope for, I take it...

[ofbelief]

Yeah. We don't know if that's what would happen.

[experiencepoints]

Well... We've got a bunch of mysteries, but now I know what I need to do, so that helps a lot.

[ofbelief]

---What is it you need to do?

[experiencepoints]

Isn't it obvious? First, find equipment. Second, find these Atroma. Third, beat the answers out of them.

WHY DID I NOT THINK THIS

WHAT DO I SAY.

LET'S SAY THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND ]

Please don't get hurt doing that.

[experiencepoints]

Don't worry. I couldn't do it at the castle, but this is what I did at home, remember? I'll be okay.

[ofbelief]

But it's still not you're home and you can still get hurt. I don't want anything to happen to you.

[experiencepoints]

I'll be careful, I promise.

[ofbelief]

[ ...STARES AT. ]

Okay then.

[experiencepoints]

What's that look?

[ofbelief]

I'm just worried and I'm allowed to be.

[experiencepoints]

... I'm sorry. I'll try not to worry you.

[ofbelief]

You don't have to be sorry. I just want you to be okay while you're here.

[experiencepoints]

... I'll stay as safe as I can while trying to get things done.

[ofbelief]

Okay. But you should ask some of the others before doing anything.

[experiencepoints]

Which others?

[ofbelief]

The people on my ship might be able to help. And there's this lady named Beverly who's teaching me medicine things.
