Who: adelina & you
Broadcast: video
Action: on the marsiva
When: now

[the young woman in the video awakes with a start, sitting up hurriedly and looking around... before giving a sharp noise of frustration. she doesn't stay in the same area long, instead wandering the halls of the marsiva with a frown. to nobody in particular:]

Honestly, I'm becoming quite tired of this kind of thing. It's terribly rude to do this to a person once, let alone twice, you realize?

[a while later, a video broadcast appears.]

If one departs from this place and then unfortunately reappears, are they typically brought to the same ship they inhabited the previous time?

[experiencepoints]

... Well, I'd hope so. Welcome back.

video

[bloodbiter]

...I would speak to you in person if I may.

video

[experiencepoints]

Sure. You're on the Marsiva right now, though, right? Or else you wouldn't ask which ship you get sent back to.

video

[bloodbiter]

Yes, that's right. Is it not possible for you to travel back here the way you would be able to travel to the other ships?

video

[experiencepoints]

No, it's not. If it were, I'd be back there frequently, but...

video

[bloodbiter]

I see. I apologize.

[a small pause.]

I will admit I don't understand these devices well at all. Is there a way to ensure that a conversation over them will be private? Or... as private as it can be, given the circumstances.

[Erik had been warned, of course, that Adelina doesn't remember Kyriakos. She wouldn't remember being Lace, or more to the point, remember him. When he sees the broadcast, he's of half a mind to just... let it go. Was there any point in talking to her? Besides, he'd finally been put onto a ship, and he should familiarise himself with it. With his new role.

In the end, though, he has to know for himself. He has to test the waters. So he takes the communicator in hand and hits respond. He keeps himself reserved.]

I don't think manners are their highest priority.

[by now, nightingale has told her that he's been here for several days. she's not happy about it - she'd rather nobody she cared for be trapped here. all the same, she can't deny that she's relieved to see him again, and there's a small smile on her face as she answers.]

Blade? Nightingale told me you were here.

Video

[grandstanding]

...she did?

[Maybe as a warning that he might talk to her? But no, this seems more familiar than that. ...and surely she wouldn't ask every random man who contacted her if their name was Blade. He's going to curse himself later if he's wrong.]

Do you know me, then?

Video

[bloodbiter]

Yes. I didn't when I was first here, but when I left and was brought back... Somehow I remember everything now. It's very strange.

Video

[grandstanding]

[And yet, they're no strangers to sudden memories. It takes a moment, but then his demeanor shifts, from caution to something warmer.]

You know, I debated whether it was worth contacting you like this. It looks like I worried for nothing.

Video

[bloodbiter]

I'm glad you did. That is, I certainly would have contacted you soon if you hadn't, but... It's good to see you again, even given the circumstances.

[This isn't even coming from the feed; it's from a bed not too far from her, where a little kid in an oversized kid sweater kicks his feet and looks a bit exasperated with this whole thing.]

I'm tired of it, too... Getting woked up in new places is -- is annoying!

I got stuff I gotta do! I can't always get kidnapped!

[What about his friends back where the other ship crashed? What about helping Mr. William and the others? Now he's here, some other weird place! He just hopes this place doesn't have weird hallways that magically change, too. Or monsters. He's just plain ol' sick of monsters and aliens.]

action.

[bloodbiter]

[it takes her a few moments to realize where the sound is coming from, but she's making a beeline for him as soon as she does. maternal instincts, go.]

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry, I should have taken notice of you earlier. What is your name, little one?

action.

[throwsdown]

[He shakes his head, looking rather calm about this whole affair.]

It's okay! I'm small, so I'm harder to see. I woke up a little bit ago and walked around a lot, but I got tired 'cus I walked all over for a long time.

[As it turns out, a kid who looks about five needs naps, especially now that he's without the powersuit that gave him more energy.]

I'm Takeshi! I'm from Japan.

[theirinurpants]

You've been brought here twice? Ugh, I'm sorry.

video;

[bloodbiter]

The strange thing is that it doesn't seem as though it's been very long. When I departed, our currency was inaccessible. Is that still the case?

video;

[theirinurpants]

Uh, ye-esss, I think so? I don't really know much about that, to be honest. I'd rather have actual, physical money that I can hold, anyway.

video;

[bloodbiter]

I see. I agree with you, certainly. These - I believe they call them digital? These digital forms of currency are very strange to me.

video;

[theirinurpants]

Yeah. How is it real if you can't hold it in your hand? How does anyone know you have it, just because some little machine says so? It's bizarre.

[revivo]

You've left?

[this is relevant to her interests!]

[bloodbiter]

Yes. Not for very long, though, unfortunately. It seems I've just arrived back.

[revivo]

Where were you? While you were gone.

[bloodbiter]

Back in my home for several weeks.

[revivo]

[home. so maybe that really is where nyssa's gone. home to nanda parbat and safely far away from this mess.]

Well. With your luck, I wouldn't count on anything being easy.

[like being sent back to your old ship. SHRUG.]
