Broadcast: Fleetwide video.

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?

I hope you are able to see one another in person soon. It's not the same over devices, is it?

[helladoomed]

Nah. I mean, it's better than, you know, nothing.

But not the same.

[Right okay this was embarrassing.]

What about you? Any familiar faces yet?

[percolates]

[A pause, and Ciri shakes her head.]

No. Not yet, at any rate, but if anyone I knew was here I'm sure they would have found a way to contact me by now.

[helladoomed]

Shit. Sorry.

But hey, you're makin' friends, right? Gotta help out a little bit.

[percolates]

I am. Are we friends? [Slightly teasing. They're friends in Ciri's book.]

[helladoomed]

[Chloe smirks.]

Sure, why not. Least till you get sick of me and tell me to fuck off. We're cool.

[percolates]

[Abruptly, Ciri laughs.]

Me? Never! It's more likely that you'll get sick of me. I'm told I can be quite the brat.

[helladoomed]

Not surprised.

I guess we'll just have to see who gets sick of the other one first, huh?

[percolates]

[Excuse you, Chloe.]

Indeed. I see you're not one to pull any punches.

[helladoomed]

[She just grins.]

Hey, you have to be able to roll with a good joke if you want to be my friend. And you left that door hella wide open there.

[percolates]

[It's been some time since she's had someone close to her age to... joke with, like this. It's refreshing.]

Who's to say it wasn't on purpose?

[helladoomed]

Well then you definitely should've known I was gonna jump at it.

[percolates]

And therefore fall right into my trap.

[helladoomed]

Which...was...?

Not feelin' to trapped now, sister.

[percolates]

The most effective traps are the subtle ones.
