Who: Carlos; OTA!!
Broadcast: Everyone
Action: Anyone on the Marsiva, if you wanna find him!
When: Any time from 1/26 to the Saturday Shuffle, really.

[Carlos is many things, but primarily confused, and partially scared. Luckily, though, he's also pretty adaptive, and he manages to find the broadcast-y technology pretty early on in his...well, he wouldn't call it panic, but most people would.]

[He looks tired, first and foremost, but also curious. Exceedingly curious.]

...Hey-o. This is sure...a situation--hold on, pretend that didn't happen.

[There's a shuffling of the camera before he shows up again, now bearing a blinding smile that's closer to a grimace.]

Hi, this is Carlos? If there's anyone, y'know, out there...hi! Oh, I'm no good at this kind of business. Just, um, if someone could drop me a line on what's happening, that would be capital-A appreciated.

-- I'm new here, too, so I can't offer you very much.

[ but having lived in adstringendum for five years, she's always had a pang of sympathy for people showing up in the unknown. ]

But you're on a ship called the Marsiva. You'll be put on a different ship when these... people called Atroma put you there, probably at the end of the week. Or at least, that's what happened to me.

That does sound about right, from what other people have told me. I've been comparing notes, so to speak!

...Though, hm, there's...quite the mix of people here, if I do say so myself. Just from who I've encountered thus far.

[flameandpassion]

It is pretty diverse.

[ different species, demons, humans, intergalactic warriors of the universe... ]

What world are you from?

[whatitis]

I'm not from anywhere special, I guess. Well, it's special, but in a real weird way.

[flameandpassion]

Then it's special.

[ simply! ]

Weird or not -- it's not this, right? So it's something new to learn.

[whatitis]

Yeah, it's definitely different than here. It's gonna take some adjusting.

[flameandpassion]

Hopefully not as long as it takes some other people. You seem to be used to the technology, anyway.

You said your name was Carlos?

[whatitis]

Yeah, that's me. Just Carlos, I suppose. Last names aren't hugely important.

[flameandpassion]

Aah, guess not.

-- I'm Rei. Hino Rei, but you can just call me Rei.

[whatitis]

What a nice name! I like it.

[flameandpassion]

{ aww, how sweet. ]

Thank you! I like yours too.
