Who: Anyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Windrose
When: 9/24

[Makie opens her eyes a crack; finally, after a good six weeks. She feels too heavy and worn out, so something is obviously amiss, though her first thought is maybe she's just ill. She's had mornings like this in the past, before a friendly angel came and cleared the disease from her lungs.

She's probably also not alone, either. Well, then.

It might be why, despite how fragilely she shuffles toward the kitchen soon afterward, she looks amazingly content. Maybe she spent that much time dreaming some good shit, who knows? Or maybe it's just that she's no longer alone anymore. Other crew on the Windrose might have noticed she had a visitor in the past few weeks. Makie's sorry, guys. Hopefully Lilly didn't break anything :|

When she's woken up some with food and good tea and has caught up with her crew and made sure they're all still in one piece, she'll hit the network, looking tired and pale but courteous as always.]

I've been asleep a long time, it seems.

For those who don't know me, my name is Otono-Tachibana Makie. There's a relatively new addition to the fleet whom some of you may have met. [And regretted it.] She's a small child by the name of Lilly, fair-haired, who has... some difficulty communicating. But she likes to explore. If you find her on your ship, please treat her well. If you wish to remove her from your ship, I will retrieve her.

[She's got the best bet of doing it without causing more disaster, at any rate. Please be nice to her feral child, Fleet. She asks nicely.]

...thank you in advance.

Have I missed anything important in the last... month?

Lilly, huh? I'll keep an eye out for her and as long as she doesn't break anything too important on the ship and likes animals she'll be welcomed on the Three Twins.

[He's captain now. He can make these calls.]

[One corner of her mouth turns up. She probably won't be all that welcome, then. :D]

What sort of animals do you have on board, Mr Vash?

We have a couple dogs. Well, sometimes three. Mostly three. And a cat. Heh, basically we're on our way to having more animals than people on this ship.

And are they all fully grown, or still young?

They're getting close to full size, but most of the animals are still young.

Lilly has tried to eat small animals in the past.

[Placid warning.]

Ahhhhhhhhh... I'll be sure to keep an eye out then.

Please do. I think it would be bad for everyone involved if she managed to succeed in adding your pets to her diet.

[She says that so straight-faced and gravely. Honestly, the idea amuses her just a touch, but her point stands.]

Yeah, I don't think the crew would be too happy if she hurt their pets.

[...] Do you really think she might hurt someone's pet?

She is a small child who was not raised by a human family, or indeed in civilisation.

[You can do the math there.]

Oh. I see. That- that's so sad she had to be on her own like that. [No one should have to grow up on their own.] So did you meet her here on the Fleet or are you from the same world?

Neither, actually. We met in Adstringendum. It's...another place like this one, I suppose.

Right from one to another. That must have been annoying. Was that a television show too?

No. It was harsher.

But it was also very beautiful.

Ah. Sorry it was harsher, but glad it was beautiful? [Said with a bit of uncertainty. As he's not sure how bad and if the bad out weighed the beauty.]

Did that place travel around too or stay in one spot?

[She's used to harsh. Being on the Fleet is like being wrapped in cotton.]

It was a land, a rather chaotic one. But I enjoyed it.

Well, as long as you enjoyed it, harsh or not, that's the important part.
