Who: Nunnally "Lamperouge"
Broadcast: Open; Video
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: Half an hour after the fleet shuffle (01/02)

Good evening. I believe there are quite a few people here that I am not acquainted with. My name is Nunnally Lamperouge, and it is a pleasure to meet all of you. [She smiles slightly. It seems like a natural smile-- aside from the formality of her speech, it's hard to tell that she's feeling quite tense at the moment]

But to those that I am acquainted with, h-hello again. [she sounds a bit awkward saying it, which she doesn't enjoy but she's not sure how else to put it, you know?] I'm not... quite sure what became of me for the last few months. It didn't seem as if any time has passed, but the next thing I knew I was awake again on the Marsiva, and time had passed without my knowledge. It seems I've been reassigned to a new ship and-- [she trails off for a moment] hopefully my skills aren't too rusty.

I suppose... that's all I wished to say. Thank you for your time, everyone.

[and, anyone on the Blue Fish will find a random young girl wheeling around the ship in a fancy motor-powered wheelchair. Even though she seems quite perplexed, she will make an effort to smile politely and wave at anyone that she encounters]

[ Well, how about that! ]

It's nice to see you again.

[blindoptimism]

[Emblicaaaaa! Nunnally looks relieved as she smiles]

It's really good to see you too. Even if... it feels like it was only yesterday.

[amarant]

It was a bit longer than that, but you didn't miss much.

video

[blindoptimism]

So it seems. I've tried to look back through the network to see what I missed. It's... [disturbing] strange to think I could be gone, but not even be aware of it

[theboogieman]

[there he was, just flipping through the channels, disinterested in all of the new people showing up, when he suddenly hears a familiar voice and... well, it's kind of like when Coil showed up, but with less yelling.

there's that same tension, hesitation to actually believe it, but he barely thinks when he flicks the video switch on. he's in his face of paint, like usual. familiar dark circles and sharp lines. he's got to catch her before she disappears.]

--Nunnally.

[and in turn, his appearance elicits and genuine emotional reaction from her. Her eyes widen for a moment, and then something like relief spreads from inside her chest to her smile.]

Mm, I'm back. I'm-- [she pauses, a little embarrassed. She realizes this is a selfish thing to say, but still she says it] it's good to see you.

video

[theboogieman]

Mm...

[on some instinctual level, this doesn't make any sense to him. people don't ever leave his life and then just come back. Coil was a freak coincidence with a whole bunch of drawbacks. he can't get this lucky twice.]

You're-- all right? [he even manages to make it sound kind of like a question.]

video

[catamite]

[hey! guess who has finally gotten brave enough to start using the network!

also... guess how much of all of that he actually listened to.]

Oh, hey! Haven't seen you in a while.

[the answer is absolutely none of it.]

video

[blindoptimism]

[hehe, but it's a nice casual greeting, so it makes her smile all the same]

It seems that way. How have you been? I'm sorry that I was out of touch for so long.

video

[catamite]

Good!

[which is, of course, the most superficial and borderline-untrue answer he possibly could have said. it's just automatic; he moves right on from it.]

How've you been?

[...he might never fully realize that she actually left the fleet.]

[rebella]

You were missing for months at a time, Nunnally?

( That's not reassuring at all, given she's back here. Even if they leave, somehow, they can be pulled back into the show? That's not escaping. That's not even getting to really stay away, and now Joshua's gone. Does that mean he might be back in months, too?

Trying to add something like good humor to her voice as she goes on: )

It's still a... pleasure to meet you, even with circumstances being less than pleasant. I'm Ella.

[blindoptimism]

That seems to be the case. I'm not... [sigh] I'm not quite sure what the larger implication is, but hopefully my case is the exception and not the rule.

[aw, but onto happier conversations. She smiles a bit] It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Ella. Have you been here long?

[rebella]

Ah... no, not so long!

( She slept a month through, she's not been awake the whole time she's been here. Not that she feels that's... at all a common thing that happens, either. Henry was congratulating her on being alive. )

Time will tell for the rest. However much of it each of us does or doesn't have, which seems to get trickier here.

[wilder]

[Wow that's...strange. But at least she looks to be in one piece. So. That's something]

You alright?

Video

[blindoptimism]

I am alright, thank you. [aw, it's a sweet question :')]

How have the weeks treated you, Kaneis?

Video

[wilder]

Good.

Well enough. You missed a planet, but it was really snowy and cold, so it wasn't that great.

Action!

[alwayscomeback]

[At least his dealing with Teo have prepared him for wheelchairs, but he's never seen one with a motor before. His Augment goes crazy, letting him know exactly how that works, and he's fascinated. Wonders never cease, huh. He smiles, and gives her a wave.]

Hey, welcome to the Blue Fish. I'm Sokka, your Captain for the foreseeable future. [And because it's weird.] You said you were missing for some months?

[blindoptimism]

Yes. [nice that he heard that]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain. Ah.... do you have any preference for how you'd like to be addressed? [chain of command is a big deal in her world]

[alwayscomeback]

Just Sokka is fine by me.

I didn't know this place would just...send people away and bring them back. That's...really weird. [He gives a shrug.] But hey, you're on the awesome ship now, and that's what really matters.

[mirroromirror]

Ah, it's like you're Sleeping Beauty!

[ miyuki looks both impressed and a little concerned, hands laced together before one goes to her chest. ]

I'm Miyuki Hoshizora! I'm sure you'll be just fine, Lamperouge-san.

[blindoptimism]

[aw, Nunnally smiles at that. hehe, that's a fun kind of princess to be]

It's nice to meet you! And please, call me Nunnally. [...]

Are you Japanese?

[mirroromirror]

[ she blinks before beaming. ]

I am! Have you ever been there before, Nunnally-chan? [ skippin right over that -san ]

voice

[aberrant_type]

-- NunNALLY! [OVERJOYED] Is that really you? It's good to hear your voice-! Well, all things considered.

[SHE SHOULD BE AT HOME but.]

I'm glad you're all right! How do you feel? Do you remember anything? Did you go home? I see Zhas caught you!

voice

[blindoptimism]

[nnnngh, she's genuinely taken aback by the response, and it shows a bit on her face, but morphs into a very happy smile. Hangeeee she likes you so much, ughhhh]

I, ah-- no, I didn't return home. [thank goodness] I remember deciding to take a nap because I was feeling ill, and then when I woke up I was aboard the Marsiva. Physically I feel fine now, just a little stiff.

Re: voice

[aberrant_type]

Really? How perturbing... [She'd feel bad if she knew Nunnally's home situation was shitty, but this has her spinning off on another thought.] I wonder if they just had you in storage somewhere on there... what ship are you on now? We'd welcome you back on the Red Fish, you know.
