[....Yeah, he should. Probably do this. Make it official or whatever.]

Attention, Huntress- the newcomers, especially. This is Mikleo, your, uh, captain speaking.

Your fellow shipmates will tell likely you that we're very casual. Be polite and non-violent and we shouldn't have any issues.

As a forewarning, myself and the tactical officer, Dezel, are seraphim. You might not see or hear us. That's normal. If you need to contact us, use the communicator, or speak with Sorey. He's essentially our go-between.

We are not ghosts. So please don't scream at us, alright?

That's all, I guess. Welcome aboard.

[WAS THAT OKAY, WAS THAT AN ACCEPTABLE ANNOUNCEMENT?? Maybe he should have gotten Sorey to do it. Ugh. What is talking to people.

Anyway, there's a box of gold-dusted macarons in the kitchen with a little card stating "help yourself".

Mikleo himself is sitting at the kitchen table, reading a book. He might try to say hi to whoever passes through, but he's not expecting much.]


((ooc: check out his resonance permissions!))

.......Our captain is invisible.

[A pause.]

That's AWESOME!

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo's screen is regrettably empty, so enjoy the nice view of the kitchen, I guess.]

...It is?

action;

[sylphystia]

[He's glad Mikleo made the announcement, because Dezel's version would've just been 'get out of my room and don't scream in my face if you run into me.' Not very helpful in the slightest. He's a bit restless because of all the new people, but there is something he'd like to talk to Mikleo about, so here he is in the kitchen.

And he is definitely ignoring the cookies. His are better and he doesn't really have much of a sweet tooth either.]

Hey.

[Someday he'll actually sound happy to see someone and then the world will explode tbh.]

action;

[nerdeology]

[The world would explode, and Mikleo would die of shock.

He looks up as Dezel announces his presence; he'd been pretty deeply entrenched in the book, so he hadn't noticed the other seraph approaching. Though- wind seraph. They can be pretty quiet when they want to, so who knows if it was one or the other.]

Hey. Not interested in exploring the planets, or are you just taking a break?

action;

[sylphystia]

[He sits on the counter, because he's rude and doesn't care all that much about who cleans it.]

I'm sure you've noticed the malevolence by now. It tends to get pretty nasty after a while.

[But there was a different reason he wanted to speak to Mikleo. He sends out a little tendril of wind to see if anyone is coming. He shuts the door just in case.]

What's going on?

action;

[nerdeology]

...Yeah.

[That's kind of the reason he's here and not down there. It sort of feels like, lately, the malevolence is getting harder to avoid. Makes the place feel kind of like home, which is... not a good thing.]

You'll have to be more specific than that.

[Clueless, or evasive? You decide.]

action;

[sylphystia]

[Yeah. Returning to Sorey's domain isn't as refreshing as it used to be, though Dezel isn't really sure why. He thinks it's himself and his problems that are forming a distance between them. Sorey would obviously feel better if Dezel just... stopped being a constant reminder of what they all lost.

Dezel scoffs at the very unhelpful remark.]

You and Sorey.

[castintoflames]

Could you define Seraphim for me? The word is not one I know.

(Video)

[nerdeology]

The simplest definition would be a sort of elemental spirit. It's not entirely accurate, but it's what most people recognize.

(Video)

[castintoflames]

(Like one of the Maia, he thinks.)

Those like you inhabit Arda and they can choose the form they take. Can you do likewise?

(Video)

[nerdeology]

Not really. We have forms, just like anyone else, and we don't shapeshift or anything like that. Most people lack the resonance to see us, that's all.

(Video)

[castintoflames]

(He narrows his eyes and hums curiously.)

There is a...light. I can almost see it. Will my senses adapt, do you think? I am not fond of being watched or followed outside of my notice.

[ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ A little wry. ]

It never ends, does it?

[ video ]

[nerdeology]

It really doesn't. I'm going to make Sorey do this next time.

[Talking to people is EXHAUSTING, Obi-Wan.]

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Life is hard, Captain. ]

Sorey isn't Captain though.

[ video ]

[nerdeology]

He's the first mate. They have a duty to ease the burden of their commanding officer, do they not?

[Look, he read a book, he has learned about the chain of command!]

[twicewed]

I hope we are able to meet in person soon but thank you for your greeting, Mikleo.

[Hopefully he's not too bright for this video thing, he's still learning as well.]

I am Finwe, I've just arrived along with some of my grandsons, and if there is anything I may do, please don't hesitate to ask.

video;

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo doesn't use video much (he doesn't appear on it anyway, so what's the point?) so if it's bad, he won't notice.]

Your grandsons...

[He does not look like someone with grandsons at all. He's used to people who don't look their age - comes with being a seraph (and growing up surrounded by many others) - but those who can have offspring generally aren't also immortal. It's a very circle-of-life thing.

Elves are kind of fascinating.]

So it's a family affair. Welcome aboard.

video;

[twicewed]

Yes three of my grandsons are here, the fourth is on the Bishop as well. They are all talented and kind, I am sure they'll fit in well.

[Finwe is proud of his family and he can't hide it.]

Thank you for your kind welcome. If you should need anything please don't hesitate to come to me. My door is always open.

video;

[nerdeology]

[Yeah, he's noticed. Well, it's a good thing, anyway. If you're stuck in a small space with your family, it's nice to have one that's supportive.]

Thank you. I should say the same to you, but as the room might appear empty, be sure to bring your communicator just in case.

Ah? I do not think I have met Dezel yet. You will have to introduce me, I think.

Captain.

[ because he's in a good mood and he knows Mikleo prefers not to be addressed by his title ]

voice

[nerdeology]

[you

punk old man]

...Must you?

[publicly sassing your captain, you should be ashamed]

voice

[bythewaves]

[ Innocent sparkling! He is being respectful! ]

Must I what, Captain?

voice

[nerdeology]

You know.

[He is not buying this feigned innocence for a hot minute.]
