[ 1st blessing - action/video ]

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. ]

[ 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.

[ 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. ]

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.]

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?

[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.

[ Bro, you don't even know the half of it. ]

Regardless, you have my thanks.

[ The thing she's honing in on most right now is sick people. Her thoughts briefly trail back to home, of the people suffering and dying of the Starscourge. ]

People are sick... that's quite unfortunate. I would like to offer my assistance in that case... do you know how I could go about doing that?

No problem.

[He shrugs and gurrrrrl, you waaaay too fancy to be talkin' to this guy.]

But yeah, the people underwater are sick with something. I dunno what it is, but people're working in the labs tryin& to figure it out.

Are you on that huge ship, the [uh] Marsiva? Right now?

[ She hums, looking down at her hands for a moment. And it's okay, she can teach you to be fancy. ]

I see. Thank you very much for the information. I ask you forgive my ignorance, this is all extremely... new to me. [ Considering what was happening at home, at least... ]

Ah, I was yes... but now I appear to be on board the SS Blameless.

[No...let him roll in the dirt where he belongs.......]

You ain't all that ignorant. It was new to me, too. This whole thing is pretty insane and you're handling it pretty damn well all things considered.

[He scratches his head again.]

Check your med lab then. They might be able to help you figure out what to do. I'm apparently a [air quotes] "communication officer," [end quotes] so all I can really do is scan the "radars" and look for stuff.

[ 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.

[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.

[ 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.

[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?

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

[ 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?

[ 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. ]

[ No............ pinkies up......... ]

Thank you, that is very kind of you to say.

[ Her head tips to the side slightly, before her expression brightens and she nods. Her smile does widen at that last bit, too. ]

Your assistance is much appreciated. It seems that you and I are one in the same, then, as that, too, is what I have been tasked with.

[ 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.

[ 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. ]

[ 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.

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. ]

[ 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. ]

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.

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.

[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.
