Who: you!
Broadcast: video
Action: Marsiva
When: right now tbh

[when the screen turns on, there's nothing but blackness for a few minutes, followed by a string of very angry-sounding curses. There's the sound of fumbling before a woman's face comes into frame, and she squints at the camera before her eyebrows turn down in a scowl.

Someone is not happy]

If this is supposed to be some sort of joke, then I am not laughing. Though I find it rather cute that you seem to have made your walls fire-proof.

We shall see what else your bloody ship can stand up to. Return my damn weapons.

[that's it, that's all she has to say. With a huff, she fumbles and manages to end the feed]

[axiomed]

I'm not sure I agree.

[noprophecies]

You do not have to agree, it will not change my opinion.

Though I suppose you are just as handsome like this.

[axiomed]

[ Wrly. ]

I'm deeply relieved.

[noprophecies]

[haven't you missed her casual flirting]

You do seem to be.

[axiomed]

[ He smiles. ]

Perhaps I am. Are you all right on that ship?

[noprophecies]

[the question makes her scowl again]

It is unpleasant, but I suppose I will survive.

[axiomed]

It's not a bad ship. And the food's fairly decent.

[noprophecies]

I do not like what it reminds me of.

[both eyebrows go up] Is the food not decent where you are?

[axiomed]

Well, it's a mixed bag. Living in space doesn't leave you with many resources. Luckily we're docked at a planet right now so there's plenty of good food.

[noprophecies]

I am . . . not sure I understand. What do you mean, living in - space? Do you mean the stars?

I thought you said this was a ship.

[axiomed]

[ Ah. He realizes his mistake. ]

It is a ship. A spaceship. Meaning we're moving across the stars.

[noprophecies]

We're what.

[please excuse how the video gets a little jumpy, she just shoved to her feet to go find a window or something]

[axiomed]

[ He'll just wait. ]

[noprophecies]

[please hold, she has never experienced space before]

Bloody hell. [she finally breathes out, utterly amazed]

[axiomed]

Stunning, isn't it?

[noprophecies]

[it's like watching an over-excited child] This is real? We are really in the stars?

[axiomed]

It's real. All of it.

[noprophecies]

Goodness. [she finally pulls away from the window to look at the device properly. She is absolutely stunned] The stars do not look like that when one is on the ground.

[axiomed]

No, they wouldn't. Stars are really large balls of gas.

[noprophecies]

[she tilts her head, eyebrows furrowed]

They are not lights?

[axiomed]

They are lights, but not in the technical sense.

[noprophecies]

I . . . see. [no she doesn't] You will need to explain that another time.

[axiomed]

I'll do my best.

[noprophecies]

You usually do. I liked your explanations.

[axiomed]

This one might be difficult, even for me. Being so far out in space is not something I'm used to either.
