Who: Miah and Marhi and anyone else
Broadcast: Both parts video
Action: First part on the Marsiva!
When: July 25, backdated to before the Shuffle!

Action/video
[The camera will record a rather amusing sight on the Marsiva today, given that Miah doesn't usually sleep in full plate armor. Given the spikes and decoration on it, it takes her a full minute to extricate herself from the sheets without it catching on something or another, and then another still to actually try to free the sheets from her shield without tearing anything. Really, this would be easier without thick gauntlets on, but given that she's woken up in unfamiliar territory, she's not inclined to remove her armor. Instead, she'll just be watching the area carefully, ready to fight at a moment's notice. It won't be long before an armored boot accidentally connects with the camera, switching it off.

Just video

[This time, Miah can be found sitting and facing the camera properly, though her tail flicks around behind her anxiously. She's still in the full plate armor, though. Beside her is a slightly less armored, slightly taller woman of dark blue skin with a black and white tuxedo cat pattern to her hair, cat ears and tail. ]

... Greetings. I am Miah Lanbatal. Though I like not the idea of it, I now understand the situation, due to this 'implant'. If there is aught else I should know, I would ask that I be told. How long has this 'reality show' been going on for? And what is known of the Atroma?

Aside that, I seek my companions. A Miqo'te woman, C'Ranmaia, or barring them, an Elezen boy and Lalafellin woman, Alphinaud Levilleur and Tataru Taru. They all of them possess garb quite distinctive, so if they are here, they should be quite easy to find. Thank you for your assistance.

[ The second, blue woman abruptly leans into the camera. ]

As Miah has asked all else, I must question if there are any who know of “Teams”, “Takshaka” or the land “Kyriakos” here. If it so, answer anon. [ A belated pause as she recalls common courtesy. ] Please.

[With that, Miah’ll reach forward and, after fumbling with the communicator a bit (seriously, gauntlets make buttons hard), she'll switch the feed off.]

[What the fuck. What the absolute fuck.]

Magpie?!

[notkittenaround]

That was faster than all I expected. I'm here.

[ She states it simply. She is here, the dimensional gap between their worlds is unimportant in the face of her promise, and she never expected any less. ]

[experiencepoints]

How the- Why the-

[Please hold, she's lost all coherent speech.]

[notkittenaround]

Is aught amiss? Have you been well?

[ If she has arrived at yet another hideous woman's place of torture and madness, someone is getting a book to the head. ]

[ofbelief]

[ Well, it's not like she hasn't seen miquo'te's before, but after several months of being on the ship this is kind of a sight. And for a moment she looks very confused. ]

...Yeah, okay. I only know what three of those words mean.

[ She's very helpful. ][ ]

[curiositykilledthecats]

[Miah looks quite upset to see Riley, a wince evident on her face.]

Even children are not spared this madness... Is it Marhi's words you speak of?

[ofbelief]

Being kids doesn't really change anything here, there's a few of us here. And most people are teenagers. [ She gives a beat but then kind of nods. ] Hers? Yeah, I know a little.

[curiositykilledthecats]

I shall see those responsible answer for their crimes.

... You know of her strange tale, then.

Re: video;

[notkittenaround]

[ She startles, but only a little. This was what she had hoped for. ]

Is it you...?

Re: video;

[ofbelief]

[ Pauses briefly, and then tries: ]

I don't think I know how to be anyone else.

[iamawaited]

[...Miah, you are literally the shiniest person Nux has ever seen. You are officially and immediately awesome.]

Look at all that chrome.

[curiositykilledthecats]

[Her ears lay flat against her head as she's surprised to see someone unfamiliar.]

I beg your pardon?

[iamawaited]

[Doesn't she know that's a compliment?]

No, I mean -- your clothes.

[He has no shirt, but he plucks at an imaginary collar.]

Real shine.

[curiositykilledthecats]

[Indeed they are real shine, silver and white as a paladin's armor should be.]

It is armor.

[someone is a few drinks in at a bar on the local planet, so there is sunshine and noise behind the face on the screen--a kid with pointy ears, dye-blue hair, and a big grin on his face. he shields the communicator with his hand to try and get a better look around all the glare.]

Whoa! More cat-ears!

[video]

[curiositykilledthecats]

Miqo'te. Not cat.

[video]

[catamite]

--Huh?

[he holds the communicator closer to his ear, because he obviously didn't hear that right.]

[video]

[curiositykilledthecats]

I am a Miqo'te. We are not cats.

Re: [video]

[notkittenaround]

We are no cats, nor beasts. I am a Miqo'te.

[ It is a much-stated point, and one she is familiar with arguing to her often frustration. Even her hair bristles slightly in indignation. ]

[video]

[catamite]

[and the elf... almost seems like he misses the indignation entirely.]

Of course not. You guys just look like cats.

And hey, I like cats! So, I think you guys are cool.

[he's so great at being politically correct.]

Roughly? About ten months, give or take.

The rest of that might as well have been Martian, for all I understood it.

Video

[curiositykilledthecats]

I see.

[She doesn't sound happy to hear that, her ears flattening down against her head. Ten months? Ten months of kidnapping, children being forced into this, and only the Twelve know what else. And if it's been going on that long, a quick solution seems unlikely, too.]

What is 'Martian'?

[onlyanapple]

It's a sort of alien, from Mars. It's a planet.

Anyway, what I mean is no, I don't understand it. At all.

Re: Video

[notkittenaround]

Then I can only hope to find more of my compatriots.

[ Disappointing, but she's already seen two - undoubtedly, if none else have arrived, she merely needs to hunt them down. However many worlds it might take. ]

[onlyanapple]

Can't say I've seen many cat people around, but I can't say I've been particularly looking for them, either.
