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]

[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.

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.]

I think so. [honestly it's something she's been wondering too, so it's a relief to be asked and verbalize her thoughts] I feel a little stiff, but physically fine.

It's just a little... unnerving to suddenly wake up and find that so much time has passed.

[that's a relief. he relaxes, even if it's not by much.

after a moment of thought, he picks up his personal communicator and sends her something, even though he keeps the video on for the network feed. he wants to see if her personal frequency is still the same.]

?

[hm... she watches the video feed, curious as to what he's doing. Ah, but then it makes sense as she gets the text. She quickly types back a dumb--]

:)
And, are you alright?

[she's not even sure if he'll want to answer that. But text seems like a better place to ask]

[ah, maybe she can catch him smile a little as he reaches over and turns the video feed off. he continues the text conversation, of course.]

yes

[it feels strange to ask about such recent events, but still]

Is your friend Coil still here? Has he been settling in alright?

[he doesn't mind communicating quite as much, now. he's gotten a lot of practice with Hange, lately, and with Cecil before she left...]

been a brat to hange, but he's getting better. a girl came and left, now there's another man on board. he's ok.

[she's happy to hear that, but is annoyed at that twinge of sadness. Someone new? she wonders if that's why she was put somewhere else. Not that she minds but...]

I'm really glad to hear that.
It can be hard to get used to living so closely with so many people.

[a pause]

What is the new crew member like?

scaly.

[probably not technically true, but.]

good talker. comms like you. is that still what you know about?

yes, thank you.
I'm trying to think if I have any other questions, but it sounds like thing have been quiet.

what ship are you on

The blue fish.
I guess I really like fish?

[it amuses her, lol]

if they give you trouble, let me know

[so he can beat them up. :X]

[aw Zhas. that makes her smile. She pauses to consider what she'll say back. She considers keeping it brief but...]

I will.
Honestly, I'll miss being on a ship with you and Captain Hange.
It's been [...] really fun.

[oh. that's... fun, really? with them?]

she'd let you come back

[this probably comes through, suddenly, as she's typing up her response--]

i'll come see you when you land, if you want. we can do something.

~~I'll ask her. I wouldn't want to c~~

[but when she sees the next text, she deletes what she had been typing]

Yes! I would like that.
Maybe at the next way station?

yes. [whew, he can finally relax.]

I'll see you then.
:)

[she doesn't care if she's being a little silly, she's happy so wevah]

ok

[which is kind of his smiley back, since he didn't have to say anything.]
