[ 1st blessing - action/video ]

[luxoraculi]

Who: Lunafreya and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Video AND action, if you're on the SS Blameless!
When: Upon her arrival!

[ Video ]

[ The face of a slightly confused young woman is what her fellow passengers are going to see, suddenly, as Lunafreya tries to figure out just what the heck she's doing with the communicator she's been given. The image shakes for a moment before she manages to get it steady, and she clears her throat. ]

Hello. My name is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, and I must ask a favor of you all. I've only just arrived and I've been told the most basic of details. If it would not be of too much trouble, I would like to hear more. I simply know that we are on some sort of television show. Your assistance is much obliged.

[ There's a pause as a single piece of confetti falls from the top of her blond head. ] And thank you to whomever bestowed me with such a warm welcome. [ ...And pudding. ]

[ Action for the SS Blameless ]

[ After the broadcast ends, Luna heaves a sigh and straightens up once more. It's time to go exploring her new 'home' and perhaps get a few more answers as well. The rest of the confetti is brushed from her shoulders and now miraculously clean and altered floor length white gown, injuries sustained at home gone...

It's strange. Almost as strange as being in space.

The Oracle can be found wandering the ship, slowly as it were, taking in every single thing she can. ]

Comments

[athru]

[ Raven had seen the broadcast and she supposes, as first mate, she might as well go out of her way to make sure she can see who the new person on their ship is. She doesn't bother trying to put on her "Raven" persona - if the person is going to live here they're going to have to get used to having a blue person running around.

Moving through the corridors, she stops when she sees the woman, raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms. ]

Hey.

[luxoraculi]

[ Luna's head quickly snaps in the direction of an unfamiliar voice, and she offers the other woman a small smile. She's completely unfazed by Raven's appearance for the most part, or appears to be outwardly. ]

Hello. Have you also just arrived? [ Probably not, she figures that much already. ]

[athru]

[ It's a little amusing, but she supposes it's a fair question. She's been here almost a year now, with ten years of memories between it all, and it feels as though she's been here far longer than she has. Perhaps that's what happens when your entire family is aboard the fleet too. ]

No, I've been here months now. I'm the first mate of the Blameless, Raven Darkholme.

[luxoraculi]

[ Months... her expression doesn't change at the news, but she simply nods her head. What else can she do but accept it, after all? There are far worse places she could be than space. ]

Thank you very much. It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Darkholme. I am Lunafreya Nox Fleuret... although I'm sure you already knew that. [ She chuckles, gesturing slightly to the communication device still within her grasp. ]

[helmsplitter]

I'm still kinda new, but uh...What do you wanna know?

[Because he still remembers what it was like when he first woke up here.]

[luxoraculi]

You as well, then? I must ask your forgiveness for being such a bother, then.

[ Lunafreya offers the young man an apologetic smile, before continuing. ]

Other than being a source of entertainment, what other purpose do we serve here?

video;

[helmsplitter]

[Man, this girl sounds proper as heck.]

Uh...it's not a bother. We're all stuck here together.

[He rubs the back of his head.]

So far as I can tell, we don't got a lot of purpose here. It's annoying. Closest we got right now is helpin' the planet we're on figure out why everyone's sick. But we'll probably ship outta here soon enough so who knows if we'll be able to help.

[beathach]

[he doesn't catch the broadcast, but he does catch her as he's stepping out of the med lab for a break. He stops short and blinks in surprise, before offering the woman a friendly smile. New people to the Blameless were a rarity]

Ah - hello.

action;

[luxoraculi]

[ The med lab is exactly where she's headed -- she's heard there are sick people, and while she may not be able to help as much as she could as if she were at home, the least she can do is put in an offer. When the young man appears in her view, she returns his smile wholeheartedly. ]

Hello. Ah... forgive me, I hope I am not intruding.

[beathach]

No - no, you're not intruding at all. Have you just arrived or are you visiting?

[the Blameless rarely got new crew, so it could really be either or]

( action )

[benames]

[ it'll be a bit of an odd sight. a small young man following a small circle-shaped cleaning bot. the thing seems to beep and brush away dust but it does bump into the nearest wall. ]

Oh come on - we talked about this, what's wrong with your sensors?!

[ he's...talking to the bot. and then he notices her. ]

-- Oh. Hi, yo.

( action )

[luxoraculi]

[ This is definitely something Lunafreya never thought she'd get to see: Someone chasing what appears to be some sort of cleaning device. And talking to it no less -- it's hard not to giggle as the young man takes notice of her, but she's good and keeps it to herself, instead offering him a small smile. ]

Hello. Is that a friend of yours? [ She's seen odder things at home, okay. Being friends with a robotic entity isn't that strange. ]

( action )

[benames]

Currently it's my nemesis. I can't get it to move around without bumping into the walls. Hey - stop it.

[ he gives a tiny nudge to the bot which, until now, has been bumping itself repeatedly against the wall. ]

You're new - Cisco Ramon, engineer, nice to meet you.

[notzubats]

[Wow she's handling this all very gracefully. And Sora's never one to turn down a chance to make a new friend, so-!]

Nice to meet you, Lunafreya Nox- ... [That's a long name] - Lunafreya! I'm Sora!

What would you like to know?

Video

[luxoraculi]

[ Poor Sora. She looks a little amused, because he isn't the first to not be able to say her last name, and she knows he won't be the last. It almost reminds her of Noctis when he was a child, he'd had issues with it too... ]

A pleasure to meet you as well, Sora.

[ She offers him a warm smile, because WOW. She already likes him, he's just so friendly and welcoming and the exact opposite of the people she's used to dealing with for the most part at home. ]

Thank you so much for your assistance. I was hoping to be able to further understand our purpose here. Admittedly, I am also a little confused to how I got here as well.

Video

[notzubats]

[Oh thank goodness, she didn't get mad at the name thing. Names just didn't get that long where he was from, okay.

But she seems really nice, which makes him relax and be cheerful]

Yeah, this place is really confusing when you get here. Basically from what we got, is we got brought here to be on some kind of "reality show"? But no one's sure if that's true. But pretty much we're just here to travel on ships to different worlds.

[video]

[spacebro]

Hi. I'm Mon-El. I guess I could help. I haven't been here too long though. [Since December. It's adding up.]

[video]

[luxoraculi]

Hello. Pleased to meet you, Mon-El, and I truly do appreciate your help. I've just a few questions -- how exactly are we being broadcast on television? Does this mean our loved ones at home can see us right now? [ Because she kind of. Hopes not. For Noctis' sake. ]

[video]

[spacebro]

You mean the science of it? I'm not your guy for that. But I never saw this show on Netflix while I was on Earth or heard about it on Daxam, so I don't think they can.

[ Eithan is considerably impressed by this woman's grace under fire. When he answers her broadcast, it's with a friendly smile. ]

Lunafreya, right? I'm Eithan Paine. Happy to help, if I can. I've been here for a while, anyway. Got any specific questions?

Oh, and uh, welcome to the fleet. For what it's worth. Yeah?

video

[luxoraculi]

[ Luna considers herself a fortunate person -- she could have ended up in a far worse place with far less friendly faces greeting her. She smiles at Ethan in return, offering him a small, polite bow. ]

Thank you so much, Mr. Paine, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I am mostly confused as to how I got here in the first place, although I suppose that is a given. I take it you, too, arrived here in the same fashion?

Thank you... you've no idea how much I appreciate such a warm welcome. [ She does, too. ]

video

[deviances]

Heh, you can just call me Eithan. It's fine.

[ He bows in return, like habit. Is she nobility? She absolutely seems like nobility of some variety. He definitely feels himself automatically falling in step with his court-centric upbringing, at the very least. ]

And I don't think anyone really knows how we got here in the first place, except that Atroma just... thought we were fit for a program, I guess. But yeah, I showed up the same as you did. We all did. Just... woke up on the Marsiva and waited until we got shuffled onto another ship. Weird-tasting pudding and all.

Most people here are nice and welcoming, so don't worry about that. We all look out for each other here.

[silvercast]

So, what details have the others given you? I assume they have left out the more terrible facts.

[ Oh, Pietro. So positive about this entire situation. He can't ignore the questions of a pretty lady, either. ]

video;;

[luxoraculi]

So far, I have been informed that we are on some sort of reality television program and that at one point there were attacks by raiders apparently. Mostly I have been told about the good things, so you are correct... most of the terrible things have been left out.

[ Well, he's not wrong! She smiles anyways, though, because she knows everyone's just trying to give her a positive outlook on things here, not that she really needs prompting but it's nice regardless. ]

video;;

[silvercast]

That is more or less the correct answer, however, there has been some embellishment. We were attacked, though the damage wasn't what it could have been. Our true enemy are the Atroma. Have you been told of their ability to tamper with this?

[ He taps just behind his ear, where the augments are embedded. ]

They can make you do or say what they please, though I would not recommend trying to tamper with it. They are very fond of their devices.
