Who: Nami, Max Rockatansky, whoever answers
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Some frozen lake somewhere HOORAY
When: 8 January

[So Nami will address the network without fanfare.  She sounds cold.  Not in a help I'm freezing to death kind of way but I gave some idiot my coat kind of way:]

Hey, so I could use a h-hand.  Northwest from the town about thirty minutes out, there's a frozen over l-lake.  Mostly.  I just fished one of ours out of it and if he doesn't get warm he's gonna freeze to death.  Blankets or warm clothes for a... medium build guy broad shoulders.  A pickup would be even better.  [She pauses, glancing back over her shoulder as 'some idiot' - a wet angry cat of a man - starts sneezing violently.]

...a doctor's help would be ideal.

[Well this isn't good. Allen responds as soon as he sees the message, cutting to the chase as he starts to heads for one of the Blue Fish's shuttles.]

This is a medic from the Blue Fish. [Just in case Nami didn't remember] I'll bring a shuttle over. Shouldn't be more than a few minutes.

[mikangirl]

[Allen. Good. She honestly wasn't sure who was available, but a medic and a shuttle pilot all in one is great news.]

Thanks. We're not that far off a path up to a temple-- I can yank us out where it's clearer so you have a better chance of spotting us. [Her coat's dark, that'll help in a scenery of too much white.]

No, that'll put you in the wind's path- your priority should be to keep yourselves warm.

[While he aims to only be a few minutes, in temperatures like these- a few minutes can do a lot of damage]

Find or make some sort of marker and then seek cover from the wind. I'll find you.

Video

[mikangirl]

[He's right. She thinks for a moment.]

I'll leave a banner for you. [Her scarf is ruined anyway, overstretched and holed at one end.]

Look for the pole on the road, I'll attach something c-colourful.

Video

[save_the_souls]

[He nods.]

Alright, I'll find you. Stay safe.

[And with that he cuts the feed. It'll probably be a bit before he comes, so keep warm guys!!]

[mikangirl]

[She hands off the comm to Max and lets him talk to Furiosa-- or lets her keep him at least vaguely focused-- and ventures out onto the path long enough to jam her staff into the ground in the middle of it.

When Allen heads this way, he'll see a bright orange scarf tied to the top, ends whipping up in the wind.]

[ bloody hell. ]

-- I'm struggling to to recall if I've ever met someone so mad as this poor sod. [ despite the word-choice, her voice is edged with concern. ] Let me know when he's ready to come back to the Starstruck. Once the medic's done with him. I'll be ready to receive him -- get him to a damned bunk.

[ instead of the cargo hold where (she's noticed) he's set up some sort of crazed itinerant camp. ]

[mikangirl]

You know him already, huh? [Shipmates, by the sounds, then. The attitude is one she's very familiar with, and despite how cold she is Nami grins.]

Allen's coming to get us-- everything goes well he'll be back to you within half an hour. It'll be good if someone can keep him put.

[Max is totally not scowling over Nami's shou—

Oh wait he is.]

Don't need a someone to keep me put.

[YOU'RE BOTH CONSPIRING AGAINST HIM.

One could probably take him a fraction more seriously if his words weren't being jackhammered between chattering teeth, though.]

[mucked]

Current evidence points to the contrary.

[mikangirl]

[I'm not saying anything to that but snorting with amusement and giving Max a look as if to say well? What's your comeback?]

[theroadwarrior]

[...............

Max reaches over Nami's shoulder shakily —






and cuts the feed.]

[repths]

I-I can help!! [Atoli's quick to rush in. She knows some first aid. It'll be fine. ]

Please stay safe and keep warm until help arrives. [Wow she sounds really nervous. This is a little stressful for her, but Atoli will do her best.]

video

[mikangirl]

Oh, hey-- [She pauses. This is a new face-- not more than a week or two old, is it? Allen's already offered both transport and medical help, and she figures they don't need more people, but the nervousness pulls a smile to her face, teeth chattering a little.]

It's okay! Someone will be here really soon with a shuttle, so we'll be okay. I'll keep warm.

[As much as she can when someone else is wearing her outer gear, but she's doing better than he is.]

video

[repths]

Oh, I'm so relieved to hear that. [She lets out a brief sigh and then smiles.]

You got yourself into some trouble back there, didn't you? Were you frightened?

[Atoli was scared and she didn't even know the full story.]

video

[mikangirl]

N-no, I'm fine! I wasn't in any trouble, just-- happened to be passing at the right moment. See? [She pats her hair, wind-whipped and a little damp at the ends but still more or less dry.] I didn't go in.

I'm used to fishing idiots out of water, so it'll be okay.

video

[theroadwarrior]

[DISTANT GRUMBLING IN THE BACKGROUND.]

video

[repths]

It'll be just fine.

Things will turn out alright. You literally fished him out of the water didn't you?

[Talk about a lucky break. Imagine what would happen if Nami wasn't there to help...woops]

video

[mikangirl]

[He'd totally be dead and Nami will have no problem whatsoever rubbing this in later. She turns to give Max an arch stare as he grumbles, then smiles back at Atoli.]

Yeah. He's pretty lucky, all right. He c-can return the favour one day, it'll all work out.

[I'm cold. D|]

Video

[kill_switch]

I'm on my way.

[She's not a doctor but that's a sorta friend of hers so she's got an investment in his well being. She's not looking forward to joining then out in the cold but at least she's feeling better.]

Video

[mikangirl]

[Nami... vaguely recognises this woman. She can't think from where. But now's not the time to play guess who.]

I've got a medic coming out with a shuttle. No point anyone else freezing in this weather, right? But thanks.

...you know him?

Re: Video

[kill_switch]

[Okay, so the immediacy is taken care of, it sounds like. She settles back in her chair, but she still looks uneasy.]

We're from the same world.

Video

[mikangirl]

[Ah. She directs a glance at Max, then back to Furiosa.]

Assuming he doesn't do anything else stupid, he'll be fine. Just needs to get warmed up. Allen's a good medic.

Video

[kill_switch]

[She cocks a small grin.]

Good luck. Stupid is his specialty.

Video

[mikangirl]

[Why is she not surprised. She grins back faintly, before clamping her teeth down on another shiver.]

I've gotta set something up to flag our ride. You wanna talk to him a minute?

[Might be an idea.]
