VIDEO

[ groggy. that's how she feels when she awakens, groggy and mildly disoriented as information floods into her mind like a tidal wave. information she knew before, forgot, and then somehow learned all over again without even realizing she had done so. she knows what this is now - not so confused like she was the first time this happened. ]

Here again. [ she says aloud to no one in particular, but everyone can hear it; can see the furrowing of her brows as she glances around the room. still empty, still eerily silent, still alone until she is forced onto another ship with people she may or may not know. she reaches down to find her communicator, speaks to it directly; ]

I know not how long I have been gone, nor how many may remember me. But if you do, please contact me. [ a beat. ] And even if you do not - I would not mind a conversation.


ACTION

[ anyone else that happens to be stuck on the marsiva for the duration, will find a tiny, glowing elf lady wandering around. she seems aimless, sometimes just staring out the windows into the void as she contemplates just why she would be here again. if you approach, she will happily talk to you, and if she happens to see you - she will probably be proactive and harassing you first. godspeed. ]

[... Oh - Oh! He remembers her!]

Oh, hey! I talked to you once a few months ago! Yoooou're... Uh, what was it again?

[IT'S AN UNCOMMON NAME OKAY...]

[invigorates]

Has it only been a few months... [ not that she has any idea how time really works between home and the fleet, but that still seems... off? she doesn't know. ]

Lioriley. Lior, if that is easier for you to pronounce. [ she knows that to be a common theme here. ] And you are... [ did she ever get his name? ]

[geonomy]

Well, you know, give or take. [He just knows it's been a while.] Lioriley, right! I'm Clay, and it's... nice to meet you again?

[invigorates]

[ she squints at the screen, but chooses not to further question the length of time she may or may not have been gone.

after a pause, she smiles and offers a small nod. ]

Likewise, Clay. How have you been faring since we last spoke?

[geonomy]

[He grins, leaning his head over to rest it against his hand as he answers that question.]

I've been fine. We've been to a few places while you were gone, and right now we're on an icy planet called Arslae...

[Oh, wait, that reminds him! His head lifts up, as if he just thought of something.]

So - Hey, did you go back to your world while you were gone?

[invigorates]

[ she perks up slightly at the idea of an 'icy planet.' sounds like home - well, sounds like part of home anyway.

to his question, she nods once more. ]

I did. I returned as if I had never left - I... [ she frowns now, almost disconcerted. ] I honestly did not recall much of this place at all, now that I think of it.

[geonomy]

Huh... [He frowns a bit. There's been speculation that people who go home actually... don't, so he's not sure what to make of that. But whatever, he'll keep it in the back of his mind. Right now, it's time to reintroduce the super pretty elf lady.]

That's really weird. But you remember everything now?

[invigorates]

[ her brows furrow as that realization continues to sink in, and she knows for certain she doesn't like the idea of just... forgetting things upon leaving the fleet.

dwelling on it will not make for a pleasant conversation though, so she quickly waves those thoughts away. ]

I do. Everything and then some - strange, to be endowed with knowledge of things I never knew existed until I arrived here, still.

I remember everyone as well, everyone that remains. Do you know how many have come and gone since then? [ probably not. ]

[geonomy]

Not really. It's been hard to keep an exact number.

But I do know that the numbers have been increasing as time went on. There used to be not so many people showing up, but now there's been a lot. It's like the show's getting more and more popular or something - Or maybe it's not, and they need fresh faces.

[... Thinking of it that way is just weird though.]

I don't know, it's weird trying to think how they think.

[invigorates]

I see. [ the whole concept of the show is still ridiculous to her to begin with, but she won't say as much out loud knowing that the entire universe could hear her badmouthing it. instead she just looks thoughtful for a moment, ]

I do not wish to think as they do, truthfully. Though I am almost saddened to hear that they are bringing in more and more people as time goes by - taking them from their homes as they did to us.
