Who: Aziraphale
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide!
Action: Marsiva!
When: 2/20, afternoon

[He looks confused. Absolutely befuddled. He doesn't seem to know the communicator is broadcasting, either.]

-dreadful, absolutely dreadful! This is clearly not Earth, and I can't call up the higher-ups to ask them...

[He looks down, and gasps a little.]

Oh! OH! Good afternoon? Evening? Perhaps even morning? Greetings. I am a...er...previous resident of Earth- A. Ziraphale. And I would appreciate, er, directions back...to Earth...

That is, if this reaches anyone? Hello? Oh, bugger.

[Don't worry Aaron he's like that with everyone.]

Ah, ah, I see. Earth? Truly? Interesting...I mean, unless...

[He was thinking a little, making a little face as he did.]

I am from Earth, and you are from Earth, but...perhaps they are different? W-well, you know, the whole, I saw a program just two months ago, about this whole...

[He gestures.]

...you know, different realities, that sort of thing? Perhaps, you know, maybe there was something to it? I mean, you can have the upper and lower spheres, and then you have Earth, but maybe my Earth is a bit different from your Earth?

[mysterzie]

[ Aaron is just watching in some kind of fascination as Aziraphale trips over himself to try and explain this weirdness. ]

Well, duh. They're not the same Earth. They're different worlds, like in the stories, I guess.

[principality]

Yes, that exactly!

[And he gives him a smile like "good job".]

So...what is your name, by the way? I just realized I never really...got it.

[mysterzie]

Aaron. I'm Aaron. You're... Ziraphale?

[ That's very British. Or something. Aaron doesn't know, shut up. ]

[principality]

Yes.

[He's not good at this whole "undercover moniker" business.]

Hopefully we'll see more of each other!

[mysterzie]

We're stuck on this ship together, of course we're gonna see more of each other.

[principality]

[He smiles.]

That would be wonderful, Aaron. Let me know if you need anything.

[mysterzie]

You've got it backwards. I've been here longer, so I'd know more than you do.

[ Clearly that makes him a better resource. ]

[principality]

I...well, I suppose I can't exactly argue with you there, but...well, aren't we both slightly new here?

[mysterzie]

Yeah, but I'm less new than you're new, so I'm better at this.
