Who: Elize Lutus and YOU maybe?
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: FS Starlight, at the parks!
When: February 14-20ish?

[VIDEO]

[ The broadcast opens up to show a young girl with fluffy blonde hair, only about eleven or twelve years of age. She's sitting down, out in the park. She has a notebook, a stash of pens, her mage staff, and her doll next to her. ]

...I'm Elize Lutus. Hello. I've been here for about ten months now? I think. If anyone needs help with anything, let me know. I'll do my best.

[ That's mainly directed towards many of the newcomers to the fleet. Then there's an awkward pause. That's not the reason why she's making a video broadcast in the first place. For someone as shy as Elize, she normally dislikes recording herself for the entire public to see. ]

Um... so, I've been learning a lot about other worlds. And Jove has been teaching me how to write in the common tongue! She taught me some Elvish words too. Like falon. That means friend.

[ The reason she decided to record herself is to show off what she has been learning, her achievements, like a proud child. She opens up her notebook, holding it open to the screen. It's lines of sentences written in the common tongue, recognizable to those who come from Thedas. (It looks a bit like this.) Some lines are written in practiced repetition. They're extremely basic sentences like "my name is...", "how are you?", simple greetings, etc.

Everything is written in sparkly, pink gel pen ink that she bought from the station. It's written neatly too, with no smudging. She made sure the ink dried! ]


When I get better, I'm hoping to write a letter entirely in common tongue.

[ She flips the notebook over to look at her own writing. Her shoulders slump in disappointment and her proud expression begins to falter, like there's a moment of disbelief that the letter she writes might not reach. She then looks back up, putting on a brave smile even though her cheeks are red with embarrassment. She'll get this letter delivered, somehow. ]

If... anyone wants to hang out or something, I'm at the park. Or, we can just chat over the communicator. That's fine too.

[ACTION]

[ And as she mentioned in the broadcast, Elize will be in the park. She's laying down on her stomach, being diligent and practicing writing down sentences repeatedly in her notebook. ]

That's usually how it feels when you learn something new...

[She laughs, before she's nodding along with that warning, eyes brightening. Oh, this is adorable...]

Got it! I'll be really, really careful if I get some, all right? I wouldn't wanna end up with ink everywhere, no matter how pretty it is.

[She's silent for a moment, smiling. Learn the hard way...]

Did you have an accident with the ink, Elize?

Don't worry. I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

[Leanne is trying very, very hard not to let the fact that she's just barely holding back laughter show.]

Sorry, sorry! But that's okay, right? You used that paper to learn how to use it, huh?

That's right. [A grin now.] And you can tell anyone else who gets them, too!

[She looks away, just for a second, trying not to laugh. Oh boy. That's adorable]

That's great! You're going to save everyone soooo much trouble.

Seriously? That'd be awesome! [Adorable, she's not saying.]

I'd soooo love that.
