02 - Flicker of a Candle
Who: Yang Xiao Long and You
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS wonderduck
When: Now
[When Yang turns on her communicator's video feed, one would assume she is broadcasting from her own bunkroom aboard the Bishop; however, Wonderduck crew members will likely recognize the room as one on their ship. In fact, it's more than likely they've seen Yang coming and going fairly often the past couple of days, as she's been visiting her seemingly unconscious partner, Blake Belladona.]
[After she passed out during the meeting between Blake, Yang, Penny and Pyrrha, Yang had carried her back to Blake's bunkroom on the Wonderduck, and ever since she's been checking in on her. Each time, leaving more and more concerned about the state of her friend. From what she'd been able to pull from the fleet's archives, this kind of thing was not exactly a rare occurrence; yet, it still had Yang worried. After several days of just sitting and waiting, her impatience gets the better of her, and that's what causes her to flip on her communicator and set it broadcast fleetwide. Maybe she can get some answers or find some small comfort from other fleet members who have some experience dealing with this kind of thing.]
Hey everyone...
So, from what I've gathered, it's not exactly odd for people in the fleet to more or less drop unconscious for a little while, only to wake up later a little different.
[A slighly worried look off screen before she returns to addressing the communicator.]
But how long usually does this whole coma-like sleeping thing typically go for? And... when people DO wake up... is it usually bad? I mean, like... do they wake up still as themselves? Or only after something "else" has happened to them?
Am I even making sense?
[That last question addressed more to herself. She sighs, shakes her head. Tries to sound a little more cheery, with only moderate success.]
Anyways, yeah, any advice or answers anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if I'd say "okay" exactly. I mean, it's hard to be "okay" with the knowledge that there's someone out there who really wants you dead.
But, I guess I'm saying, I'm not scared. Not if you've got my back. You, Penny, Pyrrha, hell, I'd be willing to bet there's other people in this fleet that wouldn't take kindly to some jerk trying to kill us.

[As usual, really. Yang always has a knack for dealing with her emotional problems that seem insurmountable to her, making them possible to overcome.
The guilt isn't gone, of course. And deep down, she doesn't believe this will last- As soon as Yang remembers losing her arm, Blake is certain she'll take it all back and leave her then. But for now, maybe things are okay like this.]
Thank you, Yang.

Of course. It's what I'm here for.
no subject
Because we're partners, right?
no subject
R- right, yeah!
[She clears her throat, tries again, this time with more confidence, and a little red in her own cheeks now starting to show.]
We're partners. And that's what partners do for each other.
no subject
[That red doesn't escape her own notice... And Blake assumes she has to be imagining things right now. The pressure, the adrenaline, emotions running high... There's no way. Besides, the timing was wrong- If the reaction was to Blake's strange attempt at a confession, then it came too late. So it couldn't possibly be. She'd better just ignore it.]
... Have I missed a lot?
no subject
Not really. Just the usual space-driftiness. There's a new planet we can visit at the moment. Kind of a real dust ball though. The pollution is so bad that you have to wear these protective masks in order to visit and walk around planet-side.
