Who: Atoli
Broadcast: video; fleet wide
Action: Marsiva
When:  Dec 25ish

[This sudden turn of events has left Atoli stunned. She's to be frowning near the hospital decks.  Her mind is boggled for various reasons.]

Um, can anyone hear me? My name's Atoli. I don't know what's happening. I woke up and I suddenly found myself here I--[The poor girl seems to be having trouble putting her thoughts into words. With her expression and tone it's clear that she's not taking this very well at all.]

I can't seem to remember anything from before I arrived.  I think I was supposed to meet up with my friend. I got lost afterwards. [She definitely emailed Haseo and told him to go meet up with her at the Forbidden Grounds, so why is she here? It's puzzling.]

Would someone please help me? I'd hate to be a burden, but I need to know what's going on. This isn't "The World" is it?

I don't know about 'the world', but you're lucky to show up when we're at a world at all.

Sorry, but the short version is you've been kidnapped.

[Despite what she's saying there, she's talking about it completely casually, like it's just random trivia as opposed to... you know, kidnapping.]

[repths]

Kidnapped? [Atoli's just repeating her words. Does that mean that everyone on board was kidnapped too? She doesn't what to make of this at first. Her eyes blink several times in shock at the breaking news.]

That's horrible. You shouldn't do mean things to other people. [She puffs her cheeks angrily.]

This is wrong! Aren't you worried?

[experiencepoints]

[She shrugs.]

This is my second interdimensional prison, so... I'm kind of used to it. I've been writing a guide to help out the new people here, one second.

[The video feed shakes wildly for a moment as she picks her communicator back up, before sending a document to Atoli.]

[repths]

I'm sorry. It must be hard for you with this being your second time.

[Atoli receives the document and smiles a little in return.]

Oh, thank you! I'll review it right away.

[huaaaaagh]

You might want to be more specific about which "world" you're talking about.

[Because why would that be the actual name of any world, that would be silly, right!?]

[repths]

Sorry! [Atoli feels like she needs apologize even though it's not necessary!]

The world I'm referring to is an online game. It's popular where I'm from.

[It's silly indeed. Atoli isn't sure if the people here understand what an online game is. She doesn't know where they come from after all. ]

Do you know any games? [Generally speaking...!! ]

[huaaaaagh]

[....

Well, damn, now he's interested.]

Lots, actually! Do you mean an MMO?

["The World" isn't one he's familiar with, but after the Seed went public, the number of available games became impossible to keep track of. And that's not even considering that other worlds might have similar technology.]

[repths]

That's right. To tell you the truth I'm not supposed to look like this. [Not like a cleric with blonde hair anyways.]

This is how I'm supposed to appear in the game.[Atoli's quick to open up her concerns to Kirito because he's familiar with how MMO's work by the sound of it.]

voice because he's a jerk

[brokencopy]

I'm afraid you're currently between worlds. You're on a spaceship, after all - I should think that would be fairly obvious.

[repths]

Yes, it is quite obvious even though it's difficult to believe.

Do we know where it's headed? [This is probably the most important thing she wants to know right now.]

[brokencopy]

It's not that difficult to believe. And I'm sure the pilot has an idea.

[repths]

But we were suddenly kidnapped and thrown out into space. It's mysterious enough on it's own and I suppose you're right.

We're going to be here for a long time aren't we?

You're on the same ship I was on when I arrived. [ He sounds more thoughtful than anything. It must be true, that everyone starts off there. ] Perhaps your friend is here.

[repths]

I didn't know you arrived on here too. That makes both of us then!! [Sh laughs softly.]

I certainly hope so. I want to believe that he's safe somewhere.

[Haseo tends to draw trouble wherever he is. Atoli can't help but worry more in front of Genos. She heavily appreciates his concern as well.]

[enhances]

The first thing I did when I was assigned to this ship was ask for a roster. You should do the same.

[stickupherforehead]

This planet here is called Arslae, though I don't know how much that means to you.

video

[repths]

Arslae? I've never heard of it before.

Thank you for informing me. Now I'm certain that I'm not anywhere near my home.

[stickupherforehead]

That's the general impression most of us get. [grumble] I can't even tell what quadrant of the universe we're in.

Of course, the fact that we seem to be in an entirely different plane of reality doesn't help with my sense of direction.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

I can try and answer whatever questions you may have.

Video

[repths]

Oh, thank you. [She bows down in gratitude.]

Are we allowed to cook here? How do we obtain food? I'm a little concerned. and um, I know that we're far away from our old homes now.

I'll do my best here too! [Atoli won't get anywhere by crying. She'd better ask questions while she can.]

1/2

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda smiles sympathetically. She can still remember what it felt like to arrive in the Fleet for the first time. The confusion and the fear that came with it.]

Yes, we are certainly allowed to cook here. In fact, there are several people in the fleet who's specific job it is to cook. As for food, you are free to pick up whatever you want at the waystation and planets we visit. Otherwise, Atroma seems to take care of restoring supplies when they run low.

2/2

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She takes on a more serious tone as she knows the next words may be difficult for the new girl to hear, but it was important that she hear them, nonetheless.]

It is true. We have all been brought here, taken away from our homes. Some of us have been reunited with people we knew from home, but sometimes... it is not always the same person you left behind. It is unclear how or why we were chosen, but we know at least that we will be returned home if we are able to "win" this little show we have been forced on to.

voice; BACKDATED TO BEFORE SAD ELIZE

[princessia]

[ Oh, it looks like a bunch of people came to Atoli's aid already. Elize doesn't often speak over the network, but she's usually willing to help someone as long as they don't come off as scary to her. ]

Umm... has anyone helped you yet?

voice; :'(( elizeee

[repths]

Hello there! Um, yes. The people here have been kind. [So nice and helpful.]

I still have a few questions, but I'll take my time and figure it out eventually.

What did you do when you first arrived?

voice;

[princessia]

[ Cry. But Atoli doesn't need to know that! ]

Oh, I was looking for my friends too. I'm sorry if you couldn't find any of yours...
