Who: Noctis and YOU
Broadcast: yes
Action: aboard the Marsiva
When: Now

[The video opens up to show Noctis, looking slightly tousled and very cranky. Sure he can sleep anywhere but that wasn't a reason to have him wake up somewhere he doesn't know!!]

Look - whoever's bright idea this was - it's not funny. If someone wants to point me in the direction of who brought me here I'd appreciate it.

[He does seem awfully in a rush to get back. He's not happy about being here, clearly.]

Otherwise, some other answers would be good right about now.

[Fellow newbies can find him aboard the Marsiva, trying to find a way out of here. He doesn't get very far, but he's still stopping to examine various parts of the newbie accessible side areas of the ship. ]

Comments

[runawayprince]

Hey. They're just walls. They can't keep me here forever.

[And he'd be happy to get some time with her that he'd waited twelve years for, to be honest.]

Of course. I was hoping we could talk about... everything. I mean there's a lot we didn't talk about in the notebook too.

[Like the places he'd been, how it felt to face the Astrals... damn he misses their book, though.]

[luxoraculi]

True. I wonder what ship you will end up on, though?

[ She personally hopes he ends up on the Blameless. Everyone is super nice, and she thinks he'd like it there... not to mention that's where she's stationed. ]

We can talk about everything and anything, I promise. We have much to discuss, and all the time in the world to do so.

[ She wants to hear all about his adventures at home, the progress he's made... she also wants to hear more stories about his childhood after he and Regis had returned back to Insomnia. She wants to hear everything he has to say, really. ]

[runawayprince]

Dunno, but It'll be nice to just see you in person.

[He sighs, actually relaxing a bit and feeling nostalgic.]

Twelve years... I thought I'd feel differently, getting to see you again.

[If anything, seeing her like this was much more preferable to their previous situation.]

[luxoraculi]

Yes... this has been a long time coming, hasn't it?

[ She smiles at him, before a brow lifts in question. ]

Did you? How did you think you'd feel, hm?

[ Hopefully he's not too disappointed with her being here. Or how she looks. Or sounds. Or acts.

...She's suddenly realizing she's got a lot to be anxious about. ]

[runawayprince]

Mm. Don't get me wrong, I've been looking forward to seeing you - it just feels kind of weird, like we still have a lot of catching up to do.

[Kind of a 'pinch him, is this real?' feeling.]

Which... we do. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

[Absently, he rubs the back of his head, trying to think of how to properly articulate himself.]

I guess it'll feel more real when I see you in person, you know?

[When he can touch her and know she's real, that she isn't just some figment of his imagination.]

[luxoraculi]

I'd have to agree. Who would have thought we would be reunited in space of all places? I believe a lot of things went unsaid at home... so I suppose there is no time like the present to be able to finally catch up and say what needs to be said.

[ Which is a LOT. She's got a lot of apologizing she wants to do first and foremost. For everything, really -- but that's a subject best done in person. ]

Yes... I very much know. This still doesn't feel real to me, to see you here... to actually be able to have a conversation with you.

[ A second chance, indeed, one that she's not going to squander. ]

Has anyone told you about the planet we've been on for the last few weeks?

[runawayprince]

Not really? We didn't get to the planet, just the ship stuff and the fleet. Does it go to more places?

[He's really not sure what to expect, but still this all is nice.]

[luxoraculi]

Yes. Eventually we will pick up and leave for another planet, or solar system, or... or however this works. This particular planet is made entirely of water that you can breathe in.

[ Which is still really weird but it's better than drowning... ]

I think you'll like it, personally.

[runawayprince]

Really? What about fishing?

[He will catch you the biggest fish ever, Luna.]

[luxoraculi]

I... I think fishing here may be illegal. But I'm not certain, I will have to check.

[ ...They can sneak to a more remote place... ]

[runawayprince]

Really? It's just fish.

[He makes a bit of a face at that. If he can't fish, what is he going to do for fun in a place like this?]

[luxoraculi]

Yes, but laws are laws... it sort of makes sense if you think about it. The entire planet is water, perhaps the fish are all they've got?

[ She tilts her head, considering. ]

There are other things to do, though. You could accompany me to see some of the people... there is a disease running rampant here. The med-labs are trying to help by coming up with a cure... I wish I was smart enough to help, but all I can do is sit and hold the hands of the ill.

[runawayprince]

Of course. I'll do that. I can't do anything to help either, but I can keep an eye on you.

[Not to say that she couldn't handle herself just fine, only that he wants to make sure he doesn't make the same mistake twice. He won't lose her again.]

[luxoraculi]

[ Luna's cheeks flush a little pink at his words, because even now, without any sort of apparent threat, he's still wanting to go out of his way to protect her. She knows why, of course -- she can remember very well the situation that had spiraled out of both of their control at home, and so she offers him another smile. ]

There's more than just talking with people, though. There is shopping, dining... all sorts of tourist things to do as well, things that I will be more than happy to show you as well.

[runawayprince]

Yeah. We could get a bite to eat when I'm free to leave this ship. I'll look forward to it.

[As well he should.]

[luxoraculi]

Hopefully that will be very soon. I can't guarantee it will be as good as you say Ignis' cooking is, though.

[ As a matter of fact, as picky as Noctis is, she's got a feeling it's going to be nowhere NEAR Ignis' cooking. But she's just looking forward to spending time with him, crap food or not. ]
