Who: Aria and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: On the Marsiva
When: Now

[When the feed first turns on, it's showing nothing but a blank wall on the Hospitality Deck, though there are scratching sounds as the camera shakes.]

As this the right way? How do you use this...? Ah!

[The camera is turned around, showing a teenage girl in a medieval-looking tunic. Also, she has fox ears and a tail, so that's probably notable.]

Is this it...? I think it's working now...

I never expected I would be brought to another world like this again, yet I suppose that was my own failing in neglecting my preparations... Good morning, all who see this message. My name is Aria Forte, and I seem to have been abducted, in the same manner as all others here. There is much I do not understand, so I seek aid and knowledge of this situation. Where we are, how we have been brought here, matters of that sort.

Also, specifically, I seek knowledge on our captors, and what must be done to free us. If they are gods or mortals, and if there are any plans in the making to bring them to justice. I will lend my blade to any such attempts. On my honor as a knight, I will do all I can for those here.

[She sounds absolutely serious, apparently assuming the Fleet is much more dangerous than it is.]

Ah, also... As a final note, if any have heard the name 'Henwen', I would speak with you. They are my comrades, and I would like to hear if any are known here.

I am grateful for any information given to me. Thank you for your time.

[With that, she raises her arm over her chest in a salute, and then... the feed shakes for a while as she tries to figure out how to turn it off, before cutting out.]

[holy shit.]

Citrine?

[You can see her ears stand up as her face lights up in delight.]

Opal! You're here as well?

[why do we only play craus]

Oh - it's you. Hello.

[because we're weak]

... Lady Lace as well? It has been some time.

[oh it's the fox girl from Henwen]

Citrine, wasn't it? It has been a while.

You are... Miss Clover, was it not? It has.

[Especially since she's a few years older than when you last saw her, I'm pretty sure.]

... There are so many of us here that had I not returned home, I would suspect this of being another Echo's games. Are there still more?

[like Tempest notices that kind of thing. Unless old men are becoming older but details]

Clover, yes. You may still use it if you prefer.

There are still more, yes. It seems we are rather popular.

I know not what other name you may go by.

That is odd... Does our experience make us more valuable?

Aurae le Paulmier is my given name. Tempest is a nickname I had back home.

I would imagine so? Or they find it humorous, who knows.

Which do you prefer?

... Humorous I would believe. The were cowards enough to bring me here without my sword.

Tempest or Clover, please.

[a snort] They took mine as well, but did not take my magic. They are rather strange.

Holy shit. I mean, it was pretty obvious when you said Henwen, but - really didn't expect you to show up here.

What's the last thing you remember?

Yes. It has been several years for me since I saw you last.

It appears that you've grown as well.

I had intended to visit you once my own affairs were more settled, but I did not intend it to be like this...

Ah... I am unsure of what you mean. I have not regained shards in some weeks- I have been at my home for the past twenty days or so. It feels as though I spent scarcely any time there, after my time in Kyriakos.

It has only been mere months for me. My age came about as the result of a shard.

But I am happy to see you well.

Miss Tempest, then.

It is the same for me. Doubly strange, since I may create weapons with my magic.

You needn't call me "miss". Do you prefer Citrine or Aria?

They have obviously not thought this through completely.

... Either is fine. But if I must choose, Aria will cause less confusion.

They have not, though at least they have concealed themselves well. They are not wholly incompetent.

Aria, then.

[she huffs] They are cowards regardless.

You went home? Seriously?

I mean, great, that just wasn't what I was expecting.

I did. My mirror was completed, though it took some time.

It was not?

They are.

... But at least I may make use of this. I had intended to lie low in my home for a time, but being absent entirely may work as well.

[she raises an eyebrow, but doesn't ask]

I suppose it is easier to find a bright side to it all.

I believe it does.

And Opal is here as well, which helps.

In a matter of speaking, yes. My being here is a good thing for my world.

Is she? That's good. No one from my team is here, which . . . I suppose, I should be thankful for.
