Who: Furiosa and You!
Broadcast: Video
Action: First Breath - Furiosa's quarters
When: Today

It's been a few days since Katie and Max recovered her from the avalanche she unwittingly started. It has taken that time for her to feel like she's back in the land of the living and not teetering on some cold abyssal edge; she's still sore, her movements careful and ginger, but she's got her wits about her and she's never been so happy to be warm again. While the ship isn't anywhere near the scorching temperatures she experienced back home, in relation to the burning cold she just dealt with she's grateful for a secure, safe environment.

She's also grateful for the outpouring of help and friendship, evidenced in the aftermath with Max and Tyrion's posts to the network. She wouldn't normally go out of her way to make such a public statement, but she recognizes the effort that went in to finding her, even outside of the one who was finally successful.

The video feed opens to a view of her in her bunk. She's still recovering, continuing to let Tyrion have control of the ship until she's sure she'll be able to handle it (and, perhaps, get a replacement arm for the one she lost in her foolishness). Her face is worn, and craggy from her bout with the elements, but she looks happy, hopeful.]

I am back. I am safe, and it's thanks to you. [She still isn't a woman of many words, but there's careful thought put into the ones she chooses to use.]

Action

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion snorts from the background, where he is reviewing all of the ship readouts, as Furiosa speaks, and he calls out to her.] Succinct as always, Captain.

[You can hear the smirk there, sarcasm and all.]

Action

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa sets her comm device in her lap as she turns the feed off, calling back to him with a voice that rasps when she speaks up.]

I'm not about to bore them with details.

[Or rather, she'd prefer to forget the whole experience in the first place.]

Re: Action

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion walks the short distance down the hall from the cockpit to the captain's quarters, arching an eyebrow at Furiosa.]

I would point out that what happened to you would hardly be called boring. Closer to harrowing, if I could put a name on it. However ... I understand not wanting to share the details about battle scars.

[He gestured to his face, his mouth twisting slightly.] As you can see.

[kill_switch]

I appreciate it. [She gives him a soft smile back. Really, in this case, it was more embarrassing than anything, but considering her past she just preferred not to talk about things.]

I guess, technically, these are your quarters now.

[universal_charm]

So you took a nap too, huh? Wow, maybe it really was an epidemic.

[kill_switch]

[Not so much a nap as 'no one told me you shouldn't yell in snowy mountain regions' but she's not too keen on correcting him.]

Perhaps. Did you at least enjoy your nap?

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

For the most part. It was an exciting three years to say the least.

Re: video;

[kill_switch]

Three years? [Whatever he went through, she certainly didn't share the experience.] I didn't think I was out that long.

I am glad to see you well, lady - there were many concerned for you, not least your second.

[kill_switch]

Tyrion's good people. I knew it was a solid choice to make him my First Mate.

video

[bythewaves]

I would agree, from what I know of him. I am glad to see you have found such support and loyalty.

Might I ask what happened?

[kill_switch]

I'm lucky. You don't find that sort of thing in my world easily.

I got caught in an avalanche. Didn't know snow could do that.

[preformthisneigh]

Oh, thank Celestia, you're okay. Where were you?

Video

[kill_switch]

Running jobs for Savvy. Took a trip through the mountains and have decided to never do that again.

Video

[preformthisneigh]

Ouch. Nothing got broken, I hope?

Video

[kill_switch]

No, just ... frozen. I'll be fine. [Let's be honest, she'd say that if she were missing another limb.] I think it would be smart if I swore off snowy locations for a while.

[Or like, forever.]

Video

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Gasp!]

Oh, Furiosa, you're back! We've been looking all over for you, are you okay?!

[If Pinkie was there in person, she'd be glomping Furiosa to death.]

Video

[kill_switch]

[If Furiosa knew that she would be forever grateful this is just through the comms.]

I'll survive. Thank you for your help, Pinkie.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Good, I'm super DUPER glad! Who found you, who do we have to thank?!

[vagabond_code]

[Clint takes the broadcast as evidence that Furiosa's feeling open to having company around. He shows up at her door about half an hour after the broadcast first goes out. And... he has a dog. A lab-mutt who he's walked along with him by the scruff of his neck. It isn't necessary, because Lucky would otherwise probably just be gently sniffing around the cramped confines of her room, but Clint wants to signal that the Captain doesn't have to abide the dog any more than she wants to. Alternatively, she could invite them to stay a while. He knocks on the wall of the ship just outside the Captain's quarters, but he doesn't hear the sound himself and he has no way of knowing whether she responds - until he steps into view a few seconds later.]

You look terrible.

[He says, in a friendly enough tone.]

[kill_switch]

[She chuckles at him.]

Good. I'd hate to have to go through that with nothing to show for it.

[She looks at the dog, bemused.] Who do we have here?

[ video ]

[revengeofthemordsith]

You're alive then. Good.

[ Dead would be a pain to deal with. ]

[ video ]

[kill_switch]

Yes, I agree.

[She wouldn't be a very good Captain, dead.] Are you new? I don't remember seeing you before.

Re: [ video ]

[revengeofthemordsith]

I arrived a day before your mysterious disappearance. Your . . . crew fretted.

[ Which was a bizarre thing for Cara to witness. It made her uncomfortable. ]

Video

[gifted_witch]

[She hadn't been herself for well, almost two months now. She was only starting to feel like her old self. Then she felt a fear of losing her captain. It couldn't be said that she and Furiosa were friends, but she like and respected the woman and felt the other felt similarly.

But it was time to step up again and be out there in the world that had become her life. Not everyone would leave, and if people did leave she could survive. Furisoa had lost enough people close to her that she had become steeled against everything, Lily had to learn to walk closer to the middle.]

I am so relieved you are back Captain. Please let me know if you need anything. I have some soup stock if you feel up to it.
