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?

She's a fox from this planet. I named her Stratus.

[The fox pops back up into view.]

I had more at my last place, but the Atroma didn't bring any of them here. My teammate took care of them more, though.

That's a wonderful name! It's cute. [Almost too cute.]

I didn't know you could keep animals from this planet as pets. It's nice to have help every now and then.

I think normally it's a bad idea, but these things are bred as pets... and the Atroma haven't said anything to stop me yet.

Careful not to praise her too much, though, or she'll get a big head.

[Atoli laughs a little.]

Okay! I'll remember that!

You know her really well. Honestly, I'm impressed. [Understanding animals is a difficult task.]

You live with three people who can talk to animals for a few months, and you start to pick a few things up.

There are people who can do that?

It sounds like an amazing ability! [Whoa. There's lots of unique people on this fleet. It makes Atoli even more curious.]

I always thought it'd be nice if you could actually speak to animals directly.

It was a bit more complicated than that, but basically. They're not here, though.

[And as much as she misses them, hopefully they'd never be here. They have more important things to do than reality TV.]

I wouldn't bother with an ability like that, though. A lot of them are assholes.

Oh, but they shouldn't be rude.

Can't you teach them manners? It'd be nice if they could get along.

[Animals getting along with humans sure sounds nice. Atoli understands why you wouldn't want to deal with it though. ]

Um!! This is troubling me a little. I still don't know your name.

Hm? Oh, right, I haven't said yet.

I'm Nightingale. Nice to meet you.

Yes, of course! It's...it's nice to meet you too!

I feel safer knowing that there are others who are in the same position as me. It'd be scarier to be here without a clue or idea of what's happening.

You've definitely helped me out. [She's so happy and thankful for it.]

Well, you'd be okay regardless, I think. You're cute, people would probably be falling all over themselves to help you, even if I hadn't.

It's no problem. I'm glad to help.

It's not like that. [Atoli's not used to being complimented like this...! ] I did receive plenty of help from the others though.

I'm grateful for it. [She smiles brightly.]

Thank you.

Sounds like it was exactly like that.

I'll see you around?

Um, yes! Of course!

I'll speak to you again soon. [She bows oligopoly. ]
