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

[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.
