VIDEO β–Ώ marsiva

Who: Alisaie Leveilleur
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Marsiva, hospitality deck
When: Current

[ A (surprisingly) tiny elf greets all who would come across this message in the most pleasant manner possible: by slamming her palms against the console and raising her voice. ]

How dare you! [ You possibly meaning the people behind her abduction though anyone is free to take offense. After all, it's a display for all to witness. ]

I bet you don't even have the gall to address me in-person! I swear to you, no matter what it takes, I will find the thieves responsible. [ Wait--thieves? Perhaps she's not so angry over being kidnapped as she is over something missing. Then again, hasn't she been stolen herself?

Alisaie, who has experienced loss so much over the span of her short life, can't bear to be without her grandfather's (second to) last gift to her. A grimoire that was half of one and yet fully operational as a focus on its own. After spending the past day searching for the highly-valued gift of sentiment, she's finally taken to addressing any who would listen. If Alphinaud were here, he would insist they could catch more flies with honey and perhaps she would have left this (all of this) to his expertise. Since she is seemingly without, her hand has been forced while she's not in the best of moods.
]

I would offer a reward for a hint but pray tell how I may compensate for aid when I am without my coin purse. [ Angry and cynical, what a good combination. Furthermore she won't waste anyone's time with trivialities or questions. That is knowledge she will discover on her own in due time.

For a moment, it appears as though the tantrum has concluded as she steps back from the console. No, something else sprung forth to mind and while she feels guilty he was not her first thought, he is now her primary one. Her gaze lowers towards the ground as her bangs fall over her eyes. There is one question she must ask no matter how painful the answer may be. She wills the courage within and speaks of it abruptly.
]

If you have seen a boy--[ They may be adults but Alphinaud will always be the little boy to her. ]--who shares my very image, I... [ would love to see him once more. The sentence never is completed, Alisaie growing more withdrawn as regret chews away at her.

Enjoy the emotional roller coaster today, viewers!

[ The menial tasks start basically right now, with this planet's timing, but at least you get paid for them! ]

We're currently docked at the FS Starlight. It's a space station - a big one. 24 towers, an artificial day and night cycle, lighting, consistent gravity and oxygen - whatever it's running on must be some engine. [ It goes without saying that he'd love to get a look at whatever's powering this place, himself. Well, to anyone who knows Elecman's passion for engineering (a few people). ]

Nobody's got any money in their accounts, but we're allowed to work here, so it's fine. There's plenty to do. You'll get perks depending on what your job specialisation is, if you have one.

Yeah - they give everyone an augment. When you get sorted into ships, you take up a role decided by your augment. I'm an engineer, for example.

[ As for a station... ] Yes and no. [ He's getting into the rhythm of answering questions, providing information. One of his many functions. ] It provides transport routes for spaceships like this fleet passing through, so in one sense it does allow ships to pass through in transit.

But - it also serves as a trade hub and a meeting place for political activities - at least, that's what the ads say. You can buy a lot here with the right amount.

Seems kind of flashy for politics, though. [ He shrugs. ] But maybe they do things differently up in space.

[ He doesn't mind, in turn. It's kind of comforting, actually. It helps that Alisaie is polite, but confident enough in herself that she reminds him of someone he knows. It makes him softer than he otherwise would be. ]

Oh, it's not for us. Probably for people from the other side of space, or something like that. We probably won't get to see the inside of places like that, unless you're being employed as a cleaner or something.

You could ask someone about it when you get there. This place has all kinds of people on it.

Once you get shuffled to a ship, they'll probably dock so the rest of the crew can explore. So it shouldn't be long.

Yeah. Aliens and stuff like that. I'm sure it's colourful. [ But he doesn't have much interest in that...he's just as colourful, probably. ]
