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.]

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?

[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.]

[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]

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.

[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...!! ]

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.

[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]

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.]

[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.]

[huaaaaagh]

...You too, huh.

[Yuuki had been like that- he'd never seen her real-life self, only the fairy avatar she'd arrived in. His case was either a very fortunate one, or the Atroma had selected his SAO avatar along with the other two- the one that looked like his true self. Honestly, it was impossible to tell.]

[repths]

[Atoli tilts her head slightly at Kirito's comment. What does he mean by that? ]

Have you seen something similar before?

[He could be referring to something else entirely, she just wants to be sure.]

[huaaaaagh]

Twice, yeah. Myself, and someone from my world who was here a few months ago.

Are you able to switch?

[repths]

No, doing something like that is impossible for me. [Her head shakes slightly at that.]

That surprising! So you can switch between them? Which class are you?

[huaaaaagh]

Class?

[Hmm. His MMOs don't have chosen classes like a lot of the older games do, just weapon and skill selection. In ALO, races are chosen at the start, but his choice there had been strictly aesthetic rather than class preference. If he were to define it...]

Warrior DPS, usually.

[repths]

Fighting on the front lines sounds difficult. [DPS stay close to the enemy...most of the time. Atoli would know how hard it is to fight. Kirito must be someone brave.]

Um, for me I'm a harvest cleric. It's a healer type class. I can still heal here outside of the game. Do your abilities work?

[huaaaaagh]

...What, are you serious? You can use your skills!?

[His reaction is probably enough to tell her that his don't.]

[repths]

Of course I can. I'm serious! Um, I hope it comes in handy for you some day.

Call me when you get hurt and I'll try to come over.

[She just wants to help Kirito even though he's probably on some other ship.]

[huaaaaagh]

[Why are healers always so nice. Seriously, he wants Asuna here so he can introduce them or something. Healer chums. It would be great.]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Though to be honest, there isn't a lot of fighting on the fleet unless you go looking for it.

[brokencopy]

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

dw i have sent this three times please work

[experiencepoints]

It's not so bad. This place is better than my last one by a long shot.

[That gets her to smile back, glad to help.]

There's no rush. Take your time, you've got plenty of time to study it.

[enhances]

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]

[Yes, Atoli should meet Asuna. Healer bff's yeah!!!]

Oh, that's good to hear. It's always better to stay out of trouble when you can.

I won't go looking for fights! There's no need to worry. [She smiles confidently. ]

[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?

video.

[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.]
