[There is a very pretty young woman on your network feed, everyone! Actually, she's a little too pretty. Not blindingly so ~~no, that's the Lunars~~, but she's very... symmetrical. Completely symmetrical. Which just doesn't seem quite right to most humans, but good luck figuring out that that's what's tripping you up.

Pretty or not, she doesn't look thrilled.]

I am so-o-o bored. Is there anything to do on this ship? Empty space is really not that exciting and I'm starting to feel useless.

Is there anybody out there? Please let there be someone out there.

[ oh, right. newbies. riku looks thoughtful, backdrop filled with snow. ]

You're on the Marsiva, right?

Yup. And let me tell you, she is not up for any good conversation! [Though, to be far, she's found a lot of androids aren't. She blames programmers for not having enough imagination.]

[ ... huh? ]

I didn't know it--uh, she... could talk.

I've never met one who couldn't, even if they didn't have much to say, but she's being pretty stingy. I guess maybe she can't, I somehow have all the programming of how to fix ships like this and I don't see anything about an auto control system anywhere.

--so you're an engineer.

[ that makes some sense, at least.

... better than what an auto control system is. is that like an auto pilot? ]

There's quite a few people out here, don't worry about that part. What's your name?

Iko! :) Hello! What's yours?

I'm Asano Rin. Just Rin is ok. Anyway, sorry to say this whole place isn't all that exciting. It's just a lot of empty space before we get to stop at planets.

Nice to meet you Rin! :)))) So what do you do between planets? I don't even see any netports or anything.

[well, there's a pretty good-looking (if not very pale) guy on the other end of a video feed, dressed in black and looking particularly charming...]

I'm out here. How long have you been on the Marsiva?

Edited 2014-12-19 01:18 (UTC)

[omg cute boy alert this is not a drill.]

And I am so glad you are.

About a day. [Actually 26 hours, 43 minutes and 14 seconds, but he doesn't need to know that.]

Aw, we're at flattery already... [he laughs a little. yes good.] Well, welcome to the show. If it sticks to schedule, you'll be out of there and on one of these ships before the week is over.

Is that a problem? [Iko doesn't think so.] Are those better than this one? I think most ships would be better than this one.

wow, sorry this is so late...

You too, huh? You'd think they would have a little more entertainment. I mean, if they can afford to automate everything, they could at least afford to give us a deck of cards.

[Iko ponders that, looking a little put out.]

That seems... very second era. [not that that means anything to him.] I haven't seen any games interface anywhere, though.

'Second era'? [He scratches his head.] I was more going for 'hyperbolic', personally. You're right, though, no video games either. I'd settle for a good book.

So how long have you been here? Wonder if there's any pattern to when people turn up...

About a day. You?

[Nel's still pretty new to being brave enough to mess with the comms system, because magically understanding how to work something is scary. but he's starting to feel a little better about it. also, she's pretty.

so, he's finally coaxed into turning on his own video feed--a charming little pointy-eared face smiling back at her.]

Hi! ...Hello there.

[he waves at the screen]

I'm Nel.

[ooooh another cute boy! This is like the jackpot!]

Hi Nel! I'm Iko. It's nice to meet you!

[he has no idea how addicting being able to talk to the whole fleet over a video chat is eventually going to be... but for now, it's still a little weird. he shrugs up his shoulders a little, seeming almost bashful]

You too! Um... have you been to the planet or the stations yet? There's all kinds of things to do there.

[--not realizing that she's still on the host ship. oops.]

I wish I could. There aren't any controls on this ship anywhere. Can't find a way out.

[oh, he notices all that symmetry... because he too is far too pretty and perfect to be natural. though, the odd color of his hair and eyes helps with hinting that he can't be normal human as well.

and when he hears this message, he laughs a little.]

...You're bored already?

[One of the nice things about being an android is that if someone's too pretty, Iko at least knows it's not glamour since that doesn't work on them. Not to mention that Lunars are notorious for not letting themselves be seen on video.]

Hey, if you've seen one feed of empty space, you've seen them all!

[this flawlessness might be carefully crafted, but it's a physical mask. genuine flesh and bone; no illusions needed here. he's very proud of it.]

How long have you been here, out of idle curiosity?

About a day. [but seriously. she's seen space. it's pretty dull.]
