001 The Lone Wolf

[theladyofwinterfell]

Who: Sansa Stark
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: only on Marsiva, as Sansa doesn't have a ship assignment yet
When: 12.08.2017

( Sansa has never been in such a situation as this one. She's lived in court, yes, and she's lived as a captive in both King's Landing and in the Vale. She's come to her own home and found it hostile. She's never been in a place where everything is so clean and white as this and one that has strange devices she doesn't understand. She's been acclimated to them somewhat, thanks to an...instructional program (it was a program, that was the word, wasn't it?) but it's still foreign to her. Still, if everything foreign was something she fled from, she'd not be alive today.)

( Once she's had a chance to determine how the video works (a novel concept in and of itself), she arranges her hair neatly and addresses the fleet. Perhaps it's a ship that sails through the stars and not water but a ship is a concept that is not untenable for her at the moment. She's grateful she has on a dark dress of her own design, a dark cloak. The stars are cold, it seems, and the warmth is helpful.)

Greetings, fellow travelers. I am Sansa Stark, lately of Winterfell, and I appear to have become part of your conscripted crew for the time being. I've never been on ships for any long stretch of time and certainly not those that sail through the starry night instead of ploughing the ocean so I beg your indulgence as I acclimate myself.

I welcome any advice you may have for me as I embark on this journey for I fear that I am quite out of my element.

( Sansa adjusts her cloak a bit and smiles toward the device, hoping her face is in focus. Hopefully this has worked correctly.)

Thank you.

Who: Eithan and YOU!
Broadcast: Yes - fleetwide
Action: If you want? - Iskaulit, Music Room
When: Right now!!

[ Eithan's standing in the music room of the Iskaulit, in front of a certain piano - slightly alien, due to its many extra keys, but still very recognizable. He waves for the camera, gives a little half-hearted salute with two fingers, and smiles. ]

Hey everyone.

So, as you've probably seen before, this is the piano room on the Iskaulit. /[He gestures with a sweeping hand. ] For anyone who didn't know, or maybe you're new to the fleet, Belthazar and Winn made the piano together. And it's been here, and anyone's allowed to come play it whenever. Both Belthazar and Winn are... gone now. But the piano's still here, and still totally free to whoever. Anyone at all. Seriously. Music's important, and we need all the nice things we can get around here, you know?

[ Eithan looks a little bit downcast, but only for a split second - blink and you'll miss it, honestly. He's back to winning smiles and business after that. ]

Thing is, like most nice things, it needs maintenance if it's gonna stay operational, properly tuned, all that. And uh, well, luckily, I know how to do that. [ His smile turns to a grin. ] So unless someone else really wants the job, honestly? I'd really like to take that over. I'll make sure everything's workin', tuned right, and soundin' like it should.

I'm gonna set this place up with shelves so we can keep sheet music and theory books in here, too. Whatever we find on planets and stuff. You know? I've also got this... not-guitar-but-really-close thing that I got from that space station hotel resort a while back. I'm gonna leave it in here too, for anyone to use it if they want. And of course, I'll keep that maintained and tuned, too. I've got plenty of strings if they need changin'. It'll be fine.

And on top of that? Well, if anyone's interested... I'd be willin' to start givin' lessons. [ Nod! ] Piano, guitar... weird otherworld or alien kinds of guitars... [ He remembers past systems, thank you very much ] Those are what I'm best at, but like... if it's an instrument with strings, I can help. [ He's getting more and more excited as he talks the nerd ] Oh! Percussion, too. Not... that we have a set of any kind yet. That I know of. But if we ever got somethin'! I could do that too. And of course if anyone wants a crash course in music theory stuff, that's also on the table.

... Heh. I think I've probably gone on long enough. Point is! We've got a music room, and people should use it, and I'm gonna be the one keepin' it all workin'. And if you wanna learn more about music, I wouldn't mind helpin' at all.

[ He nods, smiling one last time for the camera. ]

Thanks for listenin'.
