» Red Fish

[This is filtered to the Red Fish crew. Arthur's showered, his hair is wet and disheveled, and he's in a t-shirt and sweats. Minimum effort. He has a cut on his cheek, and he's holding his arm to his side. His voice is low and soft, cracking now and then.]

I'm really sorry to have to give you guys this message. I wanted to tell you guys privately, though. Syeira is dead. One of those... dinosaurs on the planet killed her. She... she died protecting me and some others. I didn't know what to do...

[He bites his lip, and shakes his head, as if to rid it from those horrible thoughts.] I thought we could honor her somehow. I have some drawings of her and some candles... I don't know. Any ideas?

» Fleetwide

[Arthur looks a little better now. He's dressed up to a sweater and pants, combed and slicked back his hair. He almost looks normal, except for the cut on his cheek, his pale face, and the way he's carrying his arm.]

I'm Arthur Hall, if any of you don't me. I was involved in an incident with a few other passengers that involved one of those... dinosaur things.

I have the unfortunate task of telling the ship as a whole that Syeira is dead. One of those dinosaur look-alikes killed her. She was a good friend of mine, and I'm... I'm...

[He swallows, having trouble speaking now.] I'm sorry to her friends. She was wonderful, and I'll miss her.

[Man, he can't do this. He just gives up and turns off the camera.]

» Action on the Iskaulit

Arthur's at the space bar with his arm tucked to his side, holding his cup of alcohol with his left hand. He hasn't seen a doctor. He hasn't seen much of anyone. He's not getting trashed, just having a drink.

[ooc: As far as I'm aware, it's not common knowledge that people come back from death. Feel free to comment, though Arthur might ignore disrespectful/stupid comments. Please be aware of the warning. Post is made with Syeira mun's permission. I'll follow example on the action part for prose vs brackets.]

[This is the first Furiosa is hearing about someone dying. She'd thought this fleet was relatively free from danger - at the very least far less so than her own world - but even one death now is too many.]

I'm sorry. I didn't know her but ... I'm sorry. [She's not sure what to say. You don't get time to grieve in the Wastelands.]

[He swallows and gives her a grateful nod.] Thanks.

She would have liked you. She was a warrior, and a good person.

[Things he would say they have in common.]

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet her, then. It sounds like we would have gotten along.

Me, too. [God, this is hard. Especially on video. He turns from the camera a touch, putting a hand over his eyes to surreptitiously dab at his eyes.

He clears his throat.] You, ah... Do you have weapons, Furiosa?

[She frowns slightly.] I do. What do you need?

[Assuming they are going to be hunting down the responsible party and exacting revenge?]

[Nope. It's dead, thank goodness.]

How did you get them? I'm not going out there again without being armed.

Mm. My engineer made them. I'd have to put you in contact with him.
