Who: Caesar Zeppeli and your face
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Friday and Saturday before the shuffle!

[All things told, Caesar does not spend a lot of time on introspection when he arrives on the Marsiva. He takes a few moments to look at the stars - astonishingly bright and close, almost frighteningly so, when you're used to cities, or being too busy to look up and see the space that God made - and then looks away. For fear of being overwhelmed, maybe, or because he has other things to do.]

[Though he can't begin to imagine what they are. What do you do after you've died?]

[When he figures out how to access the network, he doesn't hesitate at all. Hesitating means thinking, and if he thinks too much about this his voice will come out weak, lost, confused. He is a Zeppeli; that would be unforgivable.]

[So it comes out strong, full, his syllables well-rounded and imbued with good humor.]

Buongiorno, all, I - seem to have taken a wrong turn somewhere around Mars. I don't suppose anyone has a map?

[He chuckles briefly, then sombers. There's information in his head that he doesn't know the source of, but he can guess.]

There are many people trapped here. I know that much already. I know what is happening. What I don't understand is why.

[Or what is to be done about it. (Although where would he go, if he wasn't here?)]

Comments

[mylegacy]

It sounds easy enough to avoid, at least.

[experiencepoints]

Pretty easy, yeah.

[mylegacy]

Thank you for the warning all the same.

[He will still probably be investigating this in some way because fuck vampires forever, but. Reassuring.]

[experiencepoints]

Yeah, no problem. Just don't do anything stupid, all right?

[mylegacy]

[Nightingale, you are talking to someone from the jojos franchise. "Anything stupid" is all he does.]

Of course not. I'd hate to disappoint you so soon.

[experiencepoints]

[Hey, that's blatantly untrue!

He poses, too.]

Good. More people should think like that.

[mylegacy]

Do people disappoint you often?

[experiencepoints]

...

[She shrugs.]

Dunno.

[mylegacy]

[That's. Probably a yes.]

Well. I won't.

[Not until he starts flirting, anyway.]

[experiencepoints]

I'll believe it when you manage it.

{Sorry, Caesar. You can try, but...]

[mylegacy]

It's impossible to prove a negative.

[Thus unfair.]

[experiencepoints]

Sounds like you should try harder.

[mylegacy]

And I thought there wouldn't be any challenges here.
