Who: Stiles Stilinski & Katniss Everdeen
Broadcast: The whole fleet!
Action: On the Marsiva.
When: August 8th!

[ the video is pretty brief, and comes with a backdrop of what is certainly the ss marsiva. stiles is confused, frustrated, and probably doing his best to come across as either aggressive or intimidating.

it mostly fails. ]

So. We're in space? I mean, we're definitely in space - but are we seriously in space? Deets needed, SOS, et cetera, et cetera. [ he cuts his eyes up, definitely glancing at someone off-screen and making a face that sort of says I have no idea what I'm supposed to be saying or doing right now, before he looks back to the communicator. ] Someone help the new guy out, here.

[ OOC: responses will come definitely from at least stiles, and possibly katniss, since she is a wary mcwary butt here. ]

...Got it.

[She nods a little.] All right.

[And as far as she can tell, the conversation has been run aground. She'll stick around a bit if there are any questions, but Rogue's not the best at exposition.]

[ Katniss is not afraid of long silences ]

...What is your name?

[...pffff!]

Rogue. It's Rogue. An' you are?

…Nova. I guess. I don't know. It's complicated?

...complicated.

[Not the kind of thing Rogue knew that she would want to get into with a stranger, but if Nova had raised the point, Rogue felt she deserved the respect of the obvious question. If she shut her down, Rogue would be okay with that. If explained, Rogue was actually an excellent listener.]

Complicated, how?

It's going to sound crazy.

[ mostly stalling for time while she figures out how to explain it ]

We've been kidnapped for the entertainment of aliens in an entirely different universe. [Her tone is wry, but it doesn't hide undercurrent of inherent kindness there.

And the kidnapping for aliens thing isn't even the craziest bit, it's just - the easiest common point Rogue can think of.] I can handle crazy.

[ sighs. she's relaxed slightly from before; slightly more open and resigned. ]

Right before I showed up here, I had been kidnapped to help fight an evil Darkness that was going to consume multiple worlds. The process to get me there wiped out most of my memories and I had to play games to regain them. I forgot my name, so my team helped me come up with Nova, and it's kind of stuck.

Anyway, we won. We beat the Darkness and I thought... you know. I was going to get my sister from home and then go with her to my b— my friend's world.

[ there's a small pause and a glance offscreen when she stumbles, but luckily the guy in the room is likely busy with something else and doesn't hear her? ]

[...oh.]

I'm sorry. [Rogue's voice was heavy with understanding.] It's something to have gone through all of that an' then to have to do somethin' like this too. It's not right.

[ she rubs at her ear ]

Whatever. I can't change it, right?

Not that I know of. [She tries for a small smile.] But hey, the knowledge that you've done it once has gotta be a help for doin' it again. You know you can get through it.

Yeah. And at least I have my memories.

Yeah. [A breath and then a tentative offer of truth.] An' if it helps... you're not the only one who's come in from places like that. There are a bunch of us who've experienced somethin' similar.

Yeah?

Yeah. I heard about a few places - a castle, a place without a sky... heck, I came from a place that slapped tiny little wings on your back so useless ya couldn't even use them to fly.

...That's new.

Edited 2015-08-11 03:35 (UTC)

Yup. [Or, well. Not to her. But whatever.] It was just peachy.

[So, like she said - there's that whole 'not entirely being in it on your own' thing.]

Yeah.

Thanks for your help. I'll try to make it down there.

No problem, Nova. [It's deliberate, her use of the other woman's name. It's a quiet reinforcement, a reminder of all that she has won and fought for - all that she now remembers. If there's one thing Luceti taught Rogue thoroughly, it was the importance of memories.] See ya around.

[ is that a ghost of a smile? ]

Yeah. Hopefully on that beach.

[A faint smile in return, and Rogue nods.] Hopefully.

[And with that, she'll sign off from the converation.]
