(no subject)

Who: a tiny
Broadcast: voice
Action: on the pathstone!
When: 9/16

[the voice that comes through the feed sounds young and very frightened. she trips over her words and stutters, nervous, speaking very quickly. she's wandering a corridor on the pathstone, pacing rapidly after leaving the room she woke up in, and the sound of her hurried footsteps can be heard in the background.]

Hello? I-I'm sorry. I know I'm not supposed to talk to strangers. But I think I'm lost... Um, really lost. I don't remember how I got here at all, and I tried my dad's phone number but it isn't working.

[a pause. breathing in, breathing out. it doesn't make her sound more calm.]

I don't really know who I'm talking to, but if you can help me get home - I'm really scared. Um, my name is Natalie, I...

[she trails off, and there's a pause as she walks past a window for the first time, looks out into the vast array of stars and blackness out there.]

No way—

[she fumbles with the communicator for a moment, panicked, before the feed abruptly stops.

ooc: natalie/opal is being affected by an age down augment glitch! she'll be younger for about a week.]
huaaaaagh: (more than it has already)

Happy to help. Just sit tight, I'll be there soon.

["Soon" ends up being half an hour or so, since a detour to the Iskaulit was required, but at some joint he'll be exploring the Huntress with a bag in hand, looking for her.]

Hi, Natalie. Got a special delivery for you.

[Have a little wave. He offers the bag out to her- inside she'll find a handful of hopefully age-appropriate books, a deck of cards, some paper and pencils/markers from the art room, and in a smaller bag, a handful of cookies.]
huaaaaagh: (mmm.... delicious food...)

Of course! If I was in your shoes, I'd want cookies, too.

[Admittedly toeing too close to the line of taking things from strangers, but even so, he's glad that he got her to smile. Poor kid's had a rough day.]
huaaaaagh: <user name=fontech> (better yet teriyaki burgers)

Well, the cards and the cookies are from my ship, the Paisley. But there's a really big ship in the fleet, the Iskaulit, that has tons of rooms that people can use for stores or personal spaces- that's where I found the rest. The books came from the library, and the writing materials are from the art club room.
huaaaaagh: (I guess I'm a bit obsessed)

That's actually a pretty good comparison. Yeah, it's kind of like a space mall.
huaaaaagh: (I just miss asuna's cooking)

I don't see why not- there's plenty to check out, for sure. If no one on this ship is able to take you when you want to visit, just let me know and I can fly you over.
huaaaaagh: <user name=fontech> (yessss crisis averted.)

Sounds like a plan.

Do you want company for a bit, or should I send myself home?
huaaaaagh: <user name=aicons> (my wife makes the best food ever)

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2016-09-20 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's okay.

[He can't blame her. Space is big and lonely even for adults. This must be so much harder for a kid.]

Are you hungry? Want to play a game? Whatever you wanna do.
huaaaaagh: <user name=headset> (what? help? I can chop veggies...)

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2016-09-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I only have the cards, so... that's pretty much it. But I know a bunch of those games we could try. Do you know Go Fish?
huaaaaagh: <user name=fontech> (i mean sometimes i miss it)

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2016-09-21 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm game if you are. You're the boss today.

[Kids like being in charge sometimes, right?]
huaaaaagh: (fine then. let's do it!)

action;

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2016-09-22 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, I promise. I've got nothing else on my plate.
huaaaaagh: <user name=fontech> (there's just nothing like home cooking.)

action;

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2016-09-22 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, hang on.

[He fetches the deck from the supplies he'd brought and sits himself down, shuffling the cards. Come, sit, play!]

Have the crew of the Huntress been nice to you so far?
