Who: Finrod Felagund
Broadcast: Fleet wide
Action: SS. Pathstone
When: December 13

[Action]

[Finrod’s first few days in space had been spent primarily adjusting to the facts that he was alive, that he was not in the Halls of Mandos, and that he was in space. It was rather a lot for an elf to deal with, especially directly after the trauma that was the dungeons of Angband. So, for the most part, he kept to himself on the Marvisa.

Once he was transported to the SS. Pathstone, however, he seems to have recovered enough of his senses to become set on exploring the ship to the full extent of his abilities, leaving no door unopened. At least he’s smart enough not to go around pressing mysterious buttons? Be thankful for the small things, people, because a curious, technologically ignorant, elf can cause a lot of problems- at least until he’s side-tracked by a window and a stunning view of the stars.

Don’t mind him if he stares for a while.]

[Eventually, Finrod decides to reach out to the others here. Thanks to his communications augment this isn't nearly as impossible as it should have been. Even so, the video feed is out of focus when it turns on and it takes a few moments of shaky adjustments before the image of a handsome, blond, Elven man comes into view. Satisfied with his work, he eventually flashes a brilliant smile and sits down to address the fleet at large.]

A ship which sails among the stars. Extraordinary, is it not? If circumstances were different, I might speak of it with wonder and awe. As it is, I find my enthusiasm somewhat dampened. [Not entirely, though. There’s still some sparkle to his eyes, some boyish sense of adventure that death itself could not kill.]

My name, friends, is Lord Finrod Felagund and I would consider it a personal favor if any with knowledge of Arda, particularly with the House of Bëor or the children of Finarfin, would contact with me as soon as possible.

[He gives a little nod and another little smile as he reaches to turn off the communicator.]
You have my thanks.
ino: (Really~?)

[ hey there dude, have another (less sparkly) blonde looking a little bit amused ]

I think most people who get forced into a situation tend to be less enthusiastic about it.

[Crowley, as usual, has been spending most of his time lounging around lazily, avoiding all of his duties and expecting his crewmates to pick up the slack. Which of course, rarely happens, so Finrod is already on a winner ship.

He strolls up behind Finrod with a sly smirk.

Ah, so I did hear the fanfare. Looks like they've given us another newbie.
ino: (Sup buddy.)

[personal profile] ino 2014-12-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. But since there's not much any of us seem to be able to do about it without getting thrown into space, it's probably best to just get what you can out of it.

[Even if he doesn't recognize any of those names, and he sure doesn't know this guy- the ears and fancy language are enough of a giveaway of what he's dealing with]

Sorry, but if those are elves you're looking for, I'm pretty sure you're the first of your kind I've seen out in the fleet.
ino: (Ehehehe .....)

[personal profile] ino 2014-12-14 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Not that I know of, but I can't say I'm too willing to try and push anyone to that point. I like breathing.
wilder: (what is this I don't even)

[personal profile] wilder 2014-12-14 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Uh....

Is that what elves are calling humans nowadays? I mean I know humans have shorter lifespans, but...

[It's not like you're immortals! Just wow. Conceited.]
wilder: (look at all the fucks I give)

[Is an elf...actually asking that? That's so weird]

Well, maybe offense is too strong a word for it, but...

Elves only live about a thousand years right? Longer than humans, but I'm not sure you can write yourself off the list of mortal beings.

[He raises his eyebrows in surprise] Is that so...

[Huh. Though he knows he hasn't been misinformed about his world. It was common knowledge how long a lifespan of an elf was, even the elves admitted to it]

...Maybe it's different rules in my homeworld than yours. Because I know that only a couple races can't die from old age, and it's definitely not the elves I know

It's quite incredible, isn't it?

[Have a human woman with thick brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and glasses perched on the bridge of her nose smiling sunnily back.]

Inconvenience aside! I'd be delighted to be here if I hadn't been kidnapped!

[Although she looks... and sounds... super delighted anyway...]

Every time. It gets old, fast, but the puddings that come with it make it marginally worth it.

[it isn't the silly little fanfare that pulls the dragon's attention and draws him immediately out of his lair. it's the feel of something old appearing on the ship, with all the flavors of ancient earthstuff that strike both familiar and unsettling chords with him.

he doesn't look all that cautious when he comes strolling out of his little office/bedroom, though. he's carefully all lazy smiles as he wanders out to the bridge of the ship and finds his newest crewmate.]


...Enjoying the view?

[well, this pings a lot of things. she's just curious enough that she decides to turn on her own feed, put on her metaphorical old-fairy-business pants, and clear her throat--which does nothing to fix the thing where she can only speak in a whisper.]

I, um, I'm afraid I haven't heard of anyone here from that house. Actually, you're the first person I've heard of in a long time that's referred to their house at all--it's kind of a minority thing around here.

[she sits up straight on her Counselor's couch and tries to look professional!]

That said, I am Sir of the Unseelie Court, and if you had something back home you need to get back to, I hope you return there soon.
ino: (Mischievous.)

[personal profile] ino 2014-12-15 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's a relief. [ she grins ]

I'm Ino, by the way. Nice you meet you, um ... [ titles. what does she do with those. ] Lord Felagund?

[ When he happens across the sickbay in his travels, he will find that it is less of a sickbay and more of an...amalgamation of room things. Blankets piled on the cot, vegetables growing in any container available, and in the middle of the room, a young-looking girl, looking up in surprise. ]

--I haven't seen you before.

[ Slightly tense, like it's more of an accusation than an observation. ]

[Nel has been studiously hiding from the comms for the most part so far... but this hits him with such a weird pang of familiarity that he hardly takes a moment to think before flipping on his own video feed.

so, Finrod will then have a scruffy whelp of an elf grinning at him from the screen.]


--Oh, um! Hi there.
