Who: Sorey & Mikleo / OPEN
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Marsiva
When: Now!!

[ACTION]

[It's probably not normal for a lack of something to be the first thing one notices upon waking up, but Mikleo opens his eyes to the realization that there's a serious lack of... weight on his chest, one he'd become resigned to feeling ever since leaving Elysia. Malevolence was everywhere in the world, and only his contract with Sorey and Lailah had kept him from growing sick because of it, or worse.

Here, though, he feels not even an ounce of it. Which immediately brings to mind the question- where...?

Once he's up and on his feet and staring out the nearest window - witnessing the state of the sky, what in the world - it takes him a while to shake off the shock. He feels like his head's been invaded- thoughts, understanding forced into it, making his head hurt. This is space. He doesn't know why he knows this, but he does. Space, a fleet of ships traveling the universe like a fleet of whales in the ocean, prisoners for entertainment...

What does it even mean?

Sorey. I need to find him. Forcing himself away from the glass, he wanders the hallways, drawn to his Shepherd like a lost sheep. He has to be here. This feeling is unmistakable.]



[BROADCAST: VIDEO]

-ink this is how it works? Where’s the part I talk into? Try the top corner, it's flashing. Do you know why? -well because it’s communicating, isn’t it? Don't look at me. Oh! No no, it’s working now. ...yup. Okay! Geez…

Wow, this is so cool! Can everybody really hear me? -oh man, we can make recordings with this! You know, instead of having to lug around parchment all the time? We absolutely have to bring this back home.

Like people need more reasons to fear the Shepherd.

-ah, right! Introductions! I’m Sorey. I’m supposed to be an Engineer? I’m not totally clear on everything involved in that, so please be patient with me! Um, and since it sounds like we’re all in the same boat- I mean, this might’ve been asked before but does anybody know who we can talk to if we really, really need to get back? It’s kind of an emergency. This seems like a kidnapping but we’re not in a cell or anything, so it’s not as bad as it could’ve been, I suppose.

But definitely! Any clarification on how to get back would be really, really helpful.

You should probably stop talking like you're with someone, Sorey. People will think you're more weird than you already are.

Sorry, you’re right. It’s just really hard to pretend you’re not here when you look right at me like that...

[ACTION PART 2]

[Sorey and Mikleo can be found exploring the Marsiva. To those who can see Mikleo (have a look at his permission post please!), they'll both be there, talking animatedly. To those who can't, feel free to call Sorey out on, you know, talking animatedly to himself.]

Right right, because of the ship thing and everything- but I definitely want to see it! Mikleo, you want to see it too, right?

[... Oh yes that's important too]

Oh, ah, right. Settling in. Later, then!

Do you guys need to know about anything else?

Are there any libraries? [still on that topic sorry]
geonomy: (☆ make a guy go oooh)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-01-18 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[It's okay man his eyes just light up once again]

There is one! There isn't much in there yet, but a lot of people have gathered as much books as they can on a room of the Iskaulit - That's a huge ship we got a while ago. There's still a lot of empty rooms on the ship, and one of them got turned into a library!

I've been planning to compile all of my findings and putting them there someday, once I make it all concise enough and figure out more about it.
monolike: (because im happy)

That's incredible, Clay! You should totally do it, I'll read everything you write!

Mikleo's writing a book too. [BOAST BOAST] He's chronicling all of our adventures and the things we learn, and he's going to publish it so that the world knows exactly what happened since there's so little recent information on Shepards and stuff. It's going to be world-changing.

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-01-18 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
He is? That's so cool - I know it'll be the best book, especially if there's so little information on the topic! I'll be one of your first buyers, too! I mean, I don't know anything at all about your world!

[And he'd love to hear more about other worlds, especially if this one doesn't even have a name]

You think you could give me tips on writing books? I've never done anything like this before!

Wow, Mikleo! I had no idea you were thinking this seriously about it! No wonder you've been frowning a lot more than usual.
monolike: (i mean jesus horatio christ)

[personal profile] monolike 2016-01-19 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You totally have. I just thought Edna was teasing you more than usual.

[And Clay's just writing down notes over here, so give him a minute. The teasing makes him grin anyway, as it kind of reminds him of someone, and he keeps it up as he stops writing and pays attention again.]

I can't say we've run into dangerous monsters, but we did run into a lot of big game at the last planet they were at. They hunted for a lot of their food! I'm not much of a fighter, so I couldn't join in, but I did try to watch what I could.

[He's just. Kinda squeamish, so the actual killing of the animals soooorta made him wince a lot.]
monolike: (i'm ready for my interview)

[WHADDYA MEAN 'EVEN YOU']

Oh yeah, we're used to fighting. Don't worry Clay! If anything like that comes along while we're together onto a planet, Mikleo and I can handle it.
monolike: (why you always lyin)

...although, I don't have my sword. I might have to make a substitute.
geonomy: (☆ like a moonbeam across my face)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-01-20 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmm. HMM. Maybe he can help with that.]

I've got a crewmate who's been making swords and stuff from the different materials she's found on the planets. I've never asked if I could take one before, so I'll have to double-check with her, but if I can get one off her hands, it'd be yours!

We'd be happy to repay you somehow! I'm not sure what we could do, but Mikleo can make really good ice cream. [important]
geonomy: (☆ you make me sing oh la la la)

video;

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-01-23 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hey now, I don't even know if I can get them for you, so no talking about repayments yet! But even if she doesn't want to give hers up, I'm sure I can convince her to make some for you guys later! So, a sword and a staff, right? Any, uh, particular kinds? [like there are different kinds of swords and staffs right]
monolike: (i'm ready for my interview)

[personal profile] monolike 2016-01-23 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I'm easily adjustable too! Nothing special at all, just, y'know. A sword.

Oooh! Or- Or a cutlass. Do you think she could make that? I've always wanted to try one of those, like a pirate.
geonomy: (☆ hope is a four-letter word)

video;

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-01-23 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
So a regular staff and a cutlass, got it! No guarantees, but I'll see what I can do for you guys, okay?

By the way, I've still got an eye patch if you want to complete the whole pirate look! [Never mind that wearing an eye patch would just mess up the whole depth perception thing. Tales games don't care anyway.]
