Who: Finrod & you
Broadcast: Video, fleetwide
Action: On the Bishop, if you wish
When: This morning


[Finrod has taken a little time to make himself presentable before turning on the communicator, though he still looks a little disoriented. That's probably inevitable after being asleep for nearly a month.

He gives a smile and a little nod of greeting, as is his usual opening.]

Good morning. [There's a hint of amusement in his voice there.] I know that there have been new arrivals while I have been... indisposed and I would offer you welcome. I am Finrod Felagund, captain of Bishop, and if there is aught I might do to ease the discomfort of your arrival, you need but ask. Members of my crew, in particular, should not hesitate to approach me, even if only to talk.

For those of you who know me already- I believe we have much to catch up on! I look forward to speaking with you. [Which is his way of saying 'please let me know that you're alright and still around.']

action, of course

[Beverly's not a member of his crew, but she might as well be with how often she's been checking in on him. It's... useless to worry, she knows. These things always go one of two ways and there is nothing she can do about it. But the tricorder gives her the comforting illusion that she's helping and so she persists. Naturally, when she comes today and finds him awake, she's thrilled and relieved and no doubt about it, he's going to get hugged.]

[faithfulwisdom]

[And she's getting hugged back, of course.]

Had you worried, did I?

[dancingmd]

Maybe a little.

[faithfulwisdom]

Well, there was no harm done. I am safe and sound; albeit rather curious as to what I have missed while I slept.

[dancingmd]

[She gestures at herself, smiling good-naturedly.]

Well I grew up, for one thing.

[child_of_bhaal]

You're awake!

[Hi, Finrod, hi!!! Someone's happy to see you.]

[faithfulwisdom]

So I am!

[Hi, Syiera! He's glad to see you too.] And well-rested, at that.

[child_of_bhaal]

Well one would hope so. You missed the gift giving holidays. I have a present for you.

[faithfulwisdom]

And here I have nothing for you! [He glances around his room] Save an offer of wine and company.

[child_of_bhaal]

You don't need to give me anything, but I would never turn down your company.

[dontthinkaboutelephants]

Glad to see you're well.

[Another smiling face for you!]

[faithfulwisdom]

And I am glad to see the same of you! There have been no dire emergencies while I slept, I hope?

[spacebro]

That's very welcoming. [Mon-El is a new face for the fleet! Well, just a little over a month old at least.] Were you sleeping for a long time like Kate? [He just learned about the long sleeps. And you just know Kate, right? You captain a ship with the same last name.]

[faithfulwisdom]

I aim to be; none of us wish to be here, but there is no reason we cannot lighten one another's burdens while we are.

[A nod.] If this Kate of yours slept for nigh a month, then yes. I am afraid the name is not familiar to me.

[spacebro]

[Yes, still very welcoming.] Over a week which is still not normal. At least I don't think it's normal for humans.

I'm Mon-El. I got here in what I'm told is December.

[faithfulwisdom]

[He can't help but grin at that.] No, it decidedly is not.

A pleasure, Mon-El. I gather, then, that you have not yet spent a great deal of time around humans?

[spacebro]

I'm only a few months into that. It seems like there's still a lot to learn. And even more that I'm here. [Different times and different cultures.]

voice.

[airily]

Let's ask a question - can I approach you if you can't see me?

[ It's like a riddle, bro. Zaveid's been on the Bishop long enough that they're probably used to his resonance, but it's not like he really talks to his crew... ]

[faithfulwisdom]

You can, certainly. Whether I will notice is another matter. [Finrod, stop being a smartass.]

Likely the answer is yes; what I do not see, I often sense.

[airily]

Ha ha.

[ A joker, he's actually... Quite pleased with this. ]

Maybe I should hop out my room and come and see.

[faithfulwisdom]

By all means, do. If nothing else, you might have some amusement at my expense.

video to start, might rapidly progress to action, depending

Cousin, you wake! You are fortunate none of us are young enough to indulge in the sort of tricks we might have when younger, although you missed Findekano being regressed to around twenty again.

[ And Maglor has totally not spent every free moment he's had sitting by his bedside nooooooo ]

[faithfulwisdom]

[He laughs] I can only imagine what state I would be in, had you all been younger. But poor Findekano! I am not sure whether to be grateful or regretful that I missed that.

[bythewaves]

He was... well. He was a very good child. But as terribly curious as I remember. [ Maglor sighs in fond exasperation ] We once found him wandered away from grandfather and nearly onto one of the shuttles visiting the nebula. Without telling anyone, of course.

'Oh but I just wanted to see!' [ Maglor mimics him exactly ] I suppose I should be grateful it was just him, and not Aredhel instead. Or your sister, for that matter! Even you were a little prone to that.

[faithfulwisdom]

You might have had a harder time bringing Aredhel or my sister back to the ship! They were rather difficult to keep in one place, as I recall.

It is no wonder, I suppose, that we all journeyed to Middle Earth, as curious as we are.
