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 has been a few months.

Busy months from the looks of things. Ours were less hectic.

There was about a month where we had to remain in the capital, so it has not been constant. [a small smile] Did Erik go home with you?

[they spoke about it briefly, a little before Erik and Charles left]

He did. He decided to stay for a while and help with the school.

[she can't help but light up a little. She had jokingly threatened Erik over it, but it was mostly because of everyone she knew, she wanted to see them being happy the most.

That, and, well. She's a bit of a shipper. Rotten would be proud]

I'm glad to hear that. And did you manage to take your - holiday? That is what you called it, yes?

[ He shakes his head. ]

We had barely started work when we found ourselves here.

Of course. [she makes a face] Have you at least done something together here? Some . . . semblance of what a holiday is.

[ He blinks. ]

We rented a room?

. . . at an inn? My.

[ He rubs his neck. ]

We did it twice. This place is a lot nicer than our last location.

Goodness, I always thought you weren't the sort to kiss and tell, dear.

[didn't you MISS HER CHARLES]

I am glad, though, that you two can at least have that much. What is it like on the planet?

Clover.

This particular one? It's . . . lovely. Well, to me. The locals have powers similar to myself so the experience is heartening.

Yes, Charles?

—it is a planet of telepaths?

Touch telepaths. They can project memories and feelings. Nothing quite as sophisticated as my abilities.

But it is similar enough, yes? No wonder you like it there.

[ He looks away briefly. ]

It . . . means a lot to me, that's all.

[she tilts her head at that]

I would think so. I'm glad for you, dear. Truly.

[ He shoots her a grateful smile. ]

Thank you.

[she smiles back; she's never had an issue with his powers, after all]

Does it happen to us as well? The - sharing through touching. Empathy.

It does seem to have a universal effect on everyone who arrives on the planet. The best thing to do is make sure you're careful when you touch others or keep control of your emotions.

[she gives him a wry look]

I am used to doing that because of you, so I think I will be fine. I hold more issue with the touching, anyway.

They'll listen if you say no, though a few might do it accidentally. It's their way.

[that's . . . not so bad. She purses her lips]

I suppose I will simply have to exercise patience with them.

Try your best.

[she huffs a little, amused]

I am . . . not as bad as I was. I know how to behave.
