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. ]

Knowing you? Even if it's not, you'll make it that much more enjoyable.

[He may not know Elize super well - after all, he once talked to her stuffed animal as if it were sentient - but he's got a feeling that she can make anything more enjoyable.]

It's a big galaxy out there. I just hope it's not "backwater" the next time around.
stefanged: (well okay then)

Hm... I guess somewhere warm, with lots of parks like the station. And books, the kind you can buy and keep versus downloading on your device.

[He hasn't given it a lot of thought, beyond wanting a place with decent technology. The tropical planet was fun, and so was the ice planet and the wild western moon, but he wants to see a proper masjid again.]

You said you wanted somewhere "fun," right? What kind of fun? Petting zoos? Bouncy houses? Or more street fair-type stuff?
stefanged: (hold on buddy)

I'd hope not.

[Maybe he should clarify....]

At birthday parties back home, they'd rent out these inflatable structures, usually in the shape of a castle. Once it was all filled with air, you could bounce in them, like a trampoline. They're called all sorts of things. Bouncy houses, moonwalks... Idea's the same, though.
stefanged: (that would do it)

[There's a lot of stuff Rieze Maxia doesn't have, he's starting to realize.] Don't worry about it. If we see one, I'll point it out.

What uh, what kind of fun stuff does Rieze Maxia have?
stefanged: (hold on buddy)

Oh.

[Not even remotely what he expected. Though he's not sure what he expected to begin with.]

What kind of tournaments?
stefanged: (thinking about it)

[Y'Allah. He stares at her for what feels like eternity before his expression softens.]

Wow, Elize. You must be really strong to take on all those monsters.
