At least there's no elevator music...

[At least two weeks have passed since the Drift Fleet passengers woke up on this strange wing of the Marsiva... Some new passengers have even joined the group instead of being Shuffled off to a fleet ship! The large monitor in the central room remains quiet for now, so how is everyone holding up?

Have you been relaxing? Enjoying the Earth media? If you can even remember them, how have Calibrations been treating you? Has anyone started getting a little stir-crazy?

Don't worry... This ship has no shortage of mysteries, and you'll be seeing a few more soon.]

In my world, alchemy developed as a science that can deconstruct and reconstruct matter. But if you're not careful, there can be... consequences. I lost my physical body when Brother and I tried a transmutation that was far beyond our level and it backfired.

[ she can't help the flutter of sympathy that settles on her features, bordering on pity, really. ]

Is there no way to get it back..?

[thebloodseal]

We know it still exists, thankfully- and it's whole. We just can't access it yet. Alchemy works on the principle of equivalent exchange- if you want to obtain, something of equal value must be lost. So getting my body back would have a cost, and we need to find a way to pay it ourselves.

[ it sounds to weiss like the only way to pay for a body would be another body... but she'd like to think they haven't got many to spare or anything like that.

regardless, she will give him her best encouraging smile. ]

Well — I wish you and your brother luck with that.

[thebloodseal]

Thank you. I fully believe we'll find a way- we just want to make sure nobody else gets hurt or worse in the process.

[ weiss is inclined to express her doubts about such an endeavor but, really, what does she know?

best to just let it go, she thinks. so instead she'll focus on what he'd been initially struggling with... ]

What were you playing?

[thebloodseal]

I've discovered these dancing games... they help keep my reflexes sharp. I don't have any muscles or endurance issues to worry about, but I can make sure I know how my body moves.
