Who: Allumette Honeycutt
Broadcast: video (to all)
Action: Marsiva
When: nnnnnow!

[ when the feed flickers on, it's focused on a tiny pink-haired woman. the camera is above, obviously not in her grip, dressed in scholar garb. she stomps her foot on the ground and points to the communicator. ]

--Eos!

Put that down this minute! You've not a clue where that's been!

[ there's a quiet twinkling, like the sound of bells--and she looks offended. ]

We are in an unfamiliar world, with unfamiliar--things! Do not make me unsummon you!

[ is that twinkling panicked? ]

Then put it down! Eos, now.

[ slowly, the point of view is lowered until it drops into allumette's claws, and she breathes a sigh of relief. she peers off-screen until a tiny fairy joins her, settling on her shoulder. she pays no mind to her fairy, however, squinting and staring at it. ]

Oh, Thal's balls--it's on.

[oh..... well that's kind of an answer in itself. She sighs, and then points back and forth between her and the fairy]

Never mind, let me ask a different question. You guys aren't dangerous, right?

[aheroipray]

Well, no. I'm a healer. Unless you attack, I've no reason to attack you in turn.

[transferedfate]

Okay, I'll believe you for now. [she's learned you can never be too careful about these things, but this short person (?) thing.... doesn't seem to bad. Just a bit snooty]

Did you just get here too?

[aheroipray]

[ she tilts her head and juts her shoulder out so eos can sit before she looks at the girl again. ]

I did. I am Lieutenant Allumette Honeycutt, but you may call me Allumette. [ a shrug. ] Or, Honeycutt, I suppose.

[transferedfate]

I'll go with Allumette. [because Honeycutt sounds kinda silly]

And I'm Ringo Oginome. [she nods curtly. She's still trying to... come to grips with all of this, so she might seem a bit distant] Sorry you got stuck here too.

[aheroipray]

[ she just slumps forward some. ]

Ringo, then. A pleasure, if I weren't meeting you in a rusty chunk of metal.

[transferedfate]

You've got that right. [since she's officially being more polite to Ringo than anyone else on this damn ship]

So far? I'm not a fan of this place.

[aheroipray]

Oh, and neither am I. It feels far too fragile, to me... I much prefer to be on hard ground.

[transferedfate]

[she grimaces]

Yeah, if something goes wrong with this thing we're pretty much screwed. [hmm... she looks thoughtful] There has to be some planet nearby, right? Why don't these people just land their ships and make a plan to escape there?

[aheroipray]

If you were suddenly dropped in a forest you didn't know, could you find your way home? [ allumette frowns, crossing her arms and shaking her head. ] I'm not quite sure it could be so easy. An escape, perhaps, but in what seems to be such a vast, endless space... how long could we make it, I wonder.

Bit akin to being trapped in the desert, needlessly wandering.

[transferedfate]

[her shoulders sink a bit, mostly because she knows that such reasoning is right... ]

You've got a point. Maybe if we stockpiled supplies and really planned it out ahead of time-- [hm, but she shrugs]

We'd still be stuck in the middle of space. [sigh]

[aheroipray]

With little guidance on where to go. [ she nods. ]

If we were to plan an escape, and I fully intend on doing so--we would need maps, and a way of direction. [ she wrinkles her little nose. ] I'm not sure what star you would use to guide yourself in this case. No sun or moon either. Doubt a compass would work.
