Who: Erik Lehnsherr & anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide video, unintentional
Action: The Marsiva
When: 26th Feb
[When the feed begins, Erik is already awake. Awake, but not yet moving from the bed. He's holding himself in the kind of intense stillness that preludes a burst of activity. And it comes shortly after, as he rolls swiftly to his feet and surveys the deck. This isn't the mansion, that much is clear. Nor is it part of any realm he's been in that he can tell. His brow furrows as he glares daggers into a featureless wall. While there is nothing of particular interest about it - it's just a wall - he seems to be observing something he finds off-putting about it.
He shakes his head abruptly, a quick jerk of the chin.] No. [With nothing further to say than that, he turns and stalks out of frame, with only a cursory glance at the communicator left behind.
Ten minutes pass, the feed holding on a truly exciting shot of that empty bed and floor.
But soon enough he re-enters the frame, wearing an expression somewhere between frustrated and resigned. This time, he does notice the communicator. After a considering pause, he walks over, reaching out ... and turns it with a finger, pointing the camera at the wall. His voice rings out clearly a moment later.]
If someone is watching, I'd appreciate an explanation. I haven't got much patience for these kinds of games anymore.

What kind of game are you picturing?
[ video ]
It's with a note of caution that he finally replies, though he can't quite keep the confusion out of his expression.]
The kind that begins with me in unknown places. Who are you?
[ video ]
[ As for games . . . well, he's familiar with the kind of games Erik has been through. They were, after all, similar shades of the ones in Aather. ]
I guess this could be much like the games we played in our respective . . . prisons. But different. Less call for death and mayhem.

Erik? [She seldom called him by his given name at home, but somehow using "Magneto" with this younger version feels stranger still. He'll see a young woman—twenty now—looking at him with surprise and concern.]
Video
Searching her face-- no, he doesn't recognise her. Maybe he's lost some memories after all.]
Yes...? [There's an acknowledgement in it, but a question as well.]

It certainly isn't objecting.
[Other than being an object itself.]

When Nightingale appears on the screen, she's probably very recognizable, still in the old Takshaka uniform.]
Hi. Sorry if this is a weird question, but does the name 'Epona' mean anything to you?
video
Yes, Epona was my team. You're Takshaka, aren't you? [He has to think on the name for a moment, having only spoken to Nightingale a handful of times.] Nightingale?

Not like this in particular. But as for places I haven't intended to be...
[Rather more of them than he'd like, at this point.]

[Here's Kaworu, ever seeking to be the comforter. But he starts out like your typical well-mannered teenager, even if his atmosphere is perhaps a little too relaxed. And, if Erik looks at the device, he'll see that Kaworu is pale like starlight, the only drop of color on his person being the red of his irises. Between his features and his ethereal repose, the kid looks like a washed-out model.
Despite all that, there's something secretly eager in his eyes. Basically, he wants to make a new friend. (It could be said that he's a little too full of hope.)]

I have been wondering. Where is everyone? I haven't seen anyone in person since I woke up... only through this thing.

I'm Hermione Granger.

He quickly tried on a smile as he tries to address the guy politely.]
Sorry... But I don't think anyone who can help is listening. We're stuck in space and apparently it's on tv. But... I guess aside from that things aren't so bad?
Video
A few people have said that. Is it a common opinion, then, that it's not so bad?
[Because he would have to disagree. Abduction is always bad, in his book.]

[After a moment of consideration, Wanda turns on her video feed, and speaks up.]
If no one else has offered to answer your questions yet, perhaps I can provide some.
Video
He certainly won't turn down more offers of assistance. So when the young woman appears on his communicator, he gives her his full attention.]
I've heard a few things, now. This television show we're meant to be part of - what can you tell me about it?

Got the rundown on The Amazing Space yet?

I think I have the basics, yes. But I'm sure I'll learn it better through experience.
