Who: Trucy Wright and YOU!
Broadcast: Video; Fleetwide
Action: Yes, on the SS Paisley!
When: 9/16..... RIGHT NOW!

A - Fleetwide video

[ As the feed to the network connection comes online, people watching will notice it's nothing but a dark screen at first. Perhaps something is wrong with the network? A few seconds later, however, something happens: the lights flicker on (really, Trucy would have preferred a spotlight, but she's got to work with what she's got!) and there stands a teenaged magician, standing at all 5'0"; despite her small stature, she sure looks confident. She flashes her audience a dazzling smile. ]

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Pleased to meet your acquaintance! So, it's been brought to my attention that I am no longer in Los Angeles, but... well, space! Don't get me wrong, this is pretty cool! But see, I've kind of got a job back on Earth. And school. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure daddy and Polly are going to destroy the office without me-- oh, wait! I haven't properly introduced myself, have I?

[ Another smile, even brighter than the first, and there's suddenly a small poof of white smoke in her right hand. When the smoke clears, there's a golden wand in her hand. She twirls it between her fingers a few times, before stopping to tip her hat with her free hand, the other moving to her hip despite the baton in her grasp. ]

Magical Girl Trucy Wright reporting for duty! Although, you all can just call me Trucy, okay? Pleased to meet each and every one of you! So, whose up for answering a few of my questions, hm~?

B - Action aboard the SS Paisley

[ Despite the video feed she's just made, Trucy can at least admit to herself she's a little confused and even nervous -- especially because one second she'd been on a completely different ship. She's even gone and pinched herself a few times to make sure she isn't dreaming.

Despite her slight inner turmoil, outwardly she's still wearing a bright smile as she wanders the corridors of the SS Paisley, still twirling the baton from her earlier broadcast between her fingers as she walks, pudding cup in the other hand, whistling a cheery little tune to herself. A true performer never allows their smile to fade or show their true inner feelings, after all.

Besides, there's confetti and pudding cups. Chocolate pudding cups, at that. Who can beat that? She's rounding the corner, and nearly bumps into someone -- that someone being you! ]

Whoa, sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going, oops...

["You" in this particular case turns out to be a Japanese boy who looks about her age. He stops at her voice- turns out he'd just about crashed into her from the other side, on account of his carrying several boxes stacked too high to see properly. He tilts the boxes sideways, eyes widening in surprise.]

Ah- hey! It's okay, I didn't see you either. You're...

[Oh, hey, there's confetti in her hair.]

...You just got assigned to the Paisley, huh?

[ This poor young man; whatever'd been in her hands before is suddenly gone -- and wherever it went, it seems like it's vanished into thin air. ]

I did! Um, I was somewhere else for a few minutes, and then BAM! Here! Do you need help with those? My name is Trucy, by the way. Nice to meet you!

[......did she just call her items back into her inventory or]

Er, nice to meet you, too. I'm Kirito, I'm in charge of engineering here. Welcome to the Paisley.

[He shifts a bit- the boxes aren't heavy, but it's awkward to try and look at her while holding them, so-]

If you want to take the top box and help me get them to engineering, I can give you a tour of the ship?

[ ...you probably don't want to know... ]

Thanks, Kirito! Ooo, sounds like you've got an important job!

[ The girl nods, reaching up to take the top box as directed, because she's definitely not going to let the poor guy struggle with these things as long as she's got two working arms. ]

Sure! It might be a good idea to get a layout of the land-- eh, ship. You know what I mean.

[Kirito tilts his head in a direction and leads the way to the engineering. If she happens to look inside, it's pretty much full of scrap metal and spare parts.]

Yeah, I hear you. Did you figure out what your augment is? That'd be a good place to start.

[ Wow. She knows a few people back at home who would be in heaven right now if they could just have a look in that room.... ]

I'm pretty sure I'm just some sort of personnel... not really sure what good I'm supposed to be to anyone, though. At home I was the part time assistant to a defense attorney and full time stage magician.

[Personnel, again? What kind of a lost cause must the Paisley seem like to the Atroma? Well, at least no one really takes it seriously...]

Well, we had a personnel officer who was a photographer before, and we've currently got another magician, kind of... more like a wizard, I guess.

[How do you even define Loki.]

Maybe your job is to keep people in good spirits? That's something I'm sure a magician would be good at.

Whoa, a wizard!? Like... he can do real magic?

[ Kirito, she's thinking Harry Potter level stuff here. This is dangerous thinking.... ]

Hm, maybe! Although I think I'm probably going to end up being some sort of assistant. Or maybe a personal assistant? I mean, if there was a lawyer on this ship, I'd know one hundred percent~!

Yeah, definitely real magic. It's pretty cool.

[Harry Potter wouldn't even be that far off. He could technically say that he does the magic stuff too, but then he'd have to get into the avatars, and that's a whole other thing... keep it simple for day 1, maybe.]

Okay, I have to ask. Magician, and defense assistant? How does that work?
