video; optional action
Who: Celeste Blackwell and the fleet
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Can be found sulking around the SS Golden kitchen
When: Feb 6, evening
[The last time this girl appeared on the network, she was in quite a hot rage, so it might be odd to see her looking quiet and pensive now. Sad, despite a slight smile, to those who really look closely.]
I've been away for awhile - don't ask, I don't quite understand it myself - but apparently I've come back just in time for Valentine's Day to be around the corner. And normally I'd be the last person to bring up something like this, but...
[But what? She doesn't say, just asks her question.]
... have you ever been in love? What were they like? What really made you think "My god, this is the one" when there are so many other people out there who might've been just as good? And I mean, if you're in love right now and you still want to answer, it needn't be past tense. I suppose - I just don't quite understand this either, I never have, but that doesn't stop it from happening.
[She appears to be at a loss for a moment, before shaking her head and chuckling to herself.]
My mates would laugh themselves sick if they could hear me now.
[And that's all.]

action;
[Something deeply, profoundly sad darkens her eyes.]
- I saw hearts get broken more terribly than I think would be possible in a normal sort of place.
[Then she takes a breath, sips her tea to compose herself.]
Anyway. We've gotten quite far afield of the point I was trying to make, which is my fault, so I'd best get us back on track. I suppose I haven't really - processed a lot of this yet. [Shared, in other words, so Hera is exactly right.] In spite of all that, Caleb and I fell in love. But his incentive, the gift he'll get when he's finished, is the ability to travel across time and space and entire universes without any sort of impediment. He'll be able to find me again. So we haven't really broken up, it's just - a delay in being together.
[Along with that comes a good deal of faith, of course, that he won't just forget her or find something more important in the meantime. And the too-tight way she's gripping her mug suggests that she's well, well aware of it.]
action;
[ Not that Hera really has any experience of those. ]
But you miss him.
