Who: Ciri and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video.
Action: On the Marsiva! Feel free to tap her on the shoulder and say hi.
When: Nooooow, a little bit after her arrival.

[For someone who looks like she stepped out of some medieval era, Ciri doesn't seem too alarmed by all the space and technology. It's easy enough for her to figure out how to broadcast, and she peers into the camera for a moment before speaking.]

So, two questions: where can I get a sword, and how exactly are my abilities dampened, here? [Because the first thing she tried to do was teleport back to Skellige, only for a whole lot of nothing to happen. Maybe if she didn't have enemies to demolish she'd actually feel some relief about the fact that what makes her a target for so many people is gone.] I can't be the only one. Someone must be very skilled to figure out how to keep that much control over us.

And... one more thing. I don't suppose any of my companions have found themselves here. [She frowns, brow creasing with worry. It's unlikely. She knows how sudden world-hopping works... or doesn't work. Still, she must try.] Geralt? Yennefer? Triss?

[percolates]

What would you call yourself?

[pneumo]

Sascha! [ He's so funny. ]

Hehe, kidding. I mean that's my name but you know what I mean. I wouldn't mind if you used words like "good-looking" or "handsome" though... Oh! Or dashing.

I'm a vampire by the way.

[percolates]

[Eeeew. But that explains a lot. A vampire, though not like one Ciri's seen drawn in books--of course, she's heard of high vampires, that ones that parade as though human. A good thing that they're above their nature (usually) and renounce feeding on humans.]

There. Was that so hard? And it explains all your oddities.

[pneumo]

[ He's a lot prettier than those sketches okay. And much better-behaved, although the renouncing of feeding off humans thing is somewhat inaccurate. In his case anyway, although he's not a fan of the whole 'biting to kill.' ]

You sure know your stuff, hehe... I'm still pretty new to it.

[percolates]

A baby vampire, are you? [Probably for the best that he's young, if so.]

[pneumo]

Yup! Except they use the word "Newborn" instead of baby. [ Seeeeee. Totally harmless. ] I've already finished teething♥

[ ...Mostly. ]

[percolates]

I certainly hope so. [He gets A Look. No teeth. No biting.]

[pneumo]

[ And Ciri gets a winning smile. There is no suspicious here. ]

And I come housebroken♥ [ So she's going to totally let him into her house now, right? ]

[percolates]

I cannot imagine anyone would be pleased if you pissed on the floor.

[It's so clean.]

[pneumo]

That's why I'm saying I'm housebroken.... [ CIRI. ] I'm very well-behaved!

[percolates]

You'd best be.

[Okay, enough with the threats. Surely he gets it.]

Perhaps someone here can fashion something for your eyes, lest you open a wrong door and end up outside.

[pneumo]

Y-yeah... That probably wouldn't be very fun. [ Not that he'd die, but still. Floating in the vacuum of space? Not fun. ]

If I could find the light switches that'd be a lot easier though.

[percolates]

Frightened people in an unfamiliar place in the dark? Not a good idea.

[pneumo]

...You don't look very frightened. What about just the two of us then?♥

[percolates]

I'm not easily frightened nor seduced. [Little infant vampire that knocks into things.]

[pneumo]

[ He will take little infant vampire over gross gremlin vampire-thing any day. And Sascha will also not be so easily discouraged!! ]

Can we at least holds hands?

[percolates]

[He's more like a needy dog than a man-bat sort of deal.]

No.

[What the fuck.]

You've no chance, so if I were you I'd quit while I was ahead.

[pneumo]

[ He will take needy dog if it means he can sleep at the foot of her bed when she least expects it ]

But I'm lonelyyyyyy....

[percolates]

How are you lonely? You're in a room full of people!

[CIRI DOESN'T CUDDLE unless you're her family.]

[pneumo]

But I want to be in a room full of your arms.

[ Being honest here and NOT JUST FLIRTING. As shocking as it may be, he is just that starved for attention. ]

[percolates]

[He's worse than Dandelion.]

Has that ever once worked for you?

[pneumo]

[ ...Yes. Yes he is. ]

Nope, but never say never right?

[percolates]

Now is not the time to test your luck.

[Seriously, bro.]

[pneumo]

But it at least got your mind off things here a bit right? You don't smell as worried. [ :D he smells people too btw ]

[percolates]

[It's true but--ugh. Ciri sighs.]

What else do you smell?

[Anything actually useful?]
