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]

It still seems rather offensive.

Oh, it is.

In any case, that was all this morning. They ambushed us and left us for dead, having got what they wanted.

But the magic that brought us all back the first time had a failsafe; so rather than dying or staying dead, the spell kicked in and brought the dead back. Which in turn ruined the spell being broken, because it was not permanent sacrifice or death.

When we finally arrived to see the woman Seer, she tried to sell us on the damned prophecy again, but it did not work. Then when explained the - part about the blood magic, I may have let my temper get the better of me. I dislike being used.

That is the blunt part - I almost died twice today, but I am fine. That arse of a thief was stealing my magic to heal me before I passed out and woke up here.

[ Dying is pretty routine. ]

And . . . Maias?

Unfortunately still alive.

At least you won't have to confront any prophecies here.

That is true. And while I am here, they cannot reserve that spell, either. They need my blood.

I suppose that is a . . . good sign.

[ What is your life. ]

[you can't talk sir]

I am trying to see it in a positive way. Even if I still want to set the whole ship aflame.

[ shhh. ]

I think going down to the planet will help.

Well, seeing you and Bl—Erik in person will certainly improve my mood. Lace as well.

There are a few Kyriakos people here.

[ Not that Charles . . . cares. ]

[she shrugs a shoulder]

How lucky for me, that they are the ones I actually care about.

[ Blandly. ]

Someone has to.

[she raises both eyebrows]

My dear, I meant you and Erik. I care that you are the ones who are here.

. . . not that I am happy that you are not home, where you belong, but - you know what I mean.

[ He softens a little. Clover never deserved his bitterness. ]

I do. Like I said, it is good to see you again.

[she smiles a bit, small but genuine]

You too, Miles. . . . or should I use Charles now?

Charles is fine. It makes more sense to use that than . . . Miles. You?

You will have to forgive me if I slip, then. [a pause, before her lips purse] I have been . . . trying to use Aurae, as of late. But you can use any of my names - it is fine, if it is you.

It's fine.

Are you sure?

I would not say so if I wasn't.

Clover, then. Unless you feel the need to change your mind.

I happen to like Clover as a name, so it's fine.

Mostly, I've been using my proper name to anger my relatives. Did you know how insulting it is for a half-elf to use a human's family name? I've found a brand new way to make a nuisance of myself with very little effort.

It sounds like a great deal of fun.

Names are rather important.

They are. I felt it made sense to leave Miles behind.
