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.

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

[Not his best work, but he's under pressure. And not a natural joker. He relents, picking up the communicator and looking at the video feed. So his slight surprise and recognition is evident.]
You're... Henwen, aren't you?
video;
Yeah. Epona, right? I didn't really want to freak you out more if you didn't remember it.

That's right; Blade. [Privately he thinks that's decent, but also something he's fairly adept at handling by now. Memories are so fleeting these days.] I'm nearly certain all my memories are intact. As they should be, since I won weeks ago and went home.
video;
Opal, by the way.

[This is the understatement of the century. He nods at her name.]
How long have you been in this place?
video;
A month or so now, probably. I'm not desperate enough to count the days yet.
video;
What can you tell me about it?

[But that is the only guess he has, right now.]

I'd hardly call this living our lives normally.
[Even by their slightly skewed standards.]

You're on one of these other ships I've heard about?
video;
Mine's called Pathstone.
Re: video;
And I'm going to be moved to one soon.

I'll just have to make do.

[a short laugh]

[But at least Yato was a known quantity.]
