Who: Maedhros & YOU
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide.
Action: Open to HS Marsiva.
When: Morning.

(Marsiva's hospitality cannot erase what Maedhros has endured. He is dressed cleanly and his hair is braided neatly and away from his face. Even his burns have been healed with minimal scarring. But there is something untamed in his eyes.

Something that burns like a hungry, desperate fire.)

...why? (His low voice resonates clearly, cutting through the air with ease. He needn't ever shout.) Surely these quarters are not located within the Halls of Mandos?

(He feels life flowing within him and it is wrong. Lifting his only fist, he hits the nearest wall, clenching his teeth.)

Do not trap my fëa. Arda is safer with me dead.

[Al looks a tad peeved at that response, but he's back to being all friendly.]

Welcome to the Drift Fleet- you've been brought here by a group calling themselves Atroma.

(Sorry, Al. He has forgotten his manners after years of solitude and madness.)

What do they wish of me?

Entertainment, or so Atroma claims. Apparently there's an audience- you can't see them or hear them- who loves to watch us go about our daily lives.

(...entertainment? He is...entertainment.)

I cannot say that makes me happy. (Who would be happy with it?) Forgive me. I am Maitimo or Maedhros if you prefer.

I'm Alphonse! And believe me, none of us are thrilled. I'm not even sure how people get any entertainment from anything I do, honestly. But they do pay us for it.

Well met, Alphonse. (He shakes himself out of his dreary mood and sits up straighter.) We are not required to do anything special, then?

[He smiled at that.] Not unless you really want to. You'll spend a few days on the Marsiva- that's the ship you're currently on- and get assigned to a crew. After that, you're free to do as you choose.

(Now that he gets a good look at Alphonse, he can see his youth - and his kindness.)

What ship do you call...a temporary home?

Mine's called the Vanquish, and I'm the security officer there. My crew is like another family to me- I got very lucky.
