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.]

fistbumping!!]

What are you going to show me?

[monolike]

Hmmm, not quite sure yet. [Sorey moves his mashed potatoes around on his plate thoughtfully.] Most of the work I need to do is the dirty kind; cleaning out fuel lines, degreasing moving parts...I can take you down into the access tunnels around the core though, it's pretty neat in there. Kind of like a fort.

[robitussin]

A fort? That sounds like fun.

[taking a bite of potatoes]

[monolike]

Never made a fort before? Like out of bedsheets and the like?

action

[robitussin]

[she shakes her head]

Not really. Have you done it before?

action

[monolike]

I have, a lot. My friend Mikleo and I would-

[........right. He'd almost... Sorey chews on his lip for a second as he reigns himself back in, appetite suddenly gone.] -uh, would do it all the time. I'm kind of an expert by now.

action

[robitussin]

It sounds really fun. Would you show me how?

action

[monolike]

You bet, Natalie. [Well, he's not gonna be finishing this, so he takes his plate over to scrape clean and wash.] Finish all of that if you can, okay? And after we can go make a fort in my room when we get over to the Huntress.

action

[robitussin]

But you didn't finish all of yours.

Don't worry about me! I ate not all that long ago. [She's so concerned... What a sweet girl.] But we've got to make sure we clean up, since we're going to another ship. You all done?
