lonely repear rudely woken up by gravity

[rockily]

Who: Eizen & You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide video.
Action: Aboard the Marsiva.
When: Right now boi.



[ There is very little worse than waking in an unfamiliar place, disorientated, confused, and incredibly disgruntled. Still that he can't remember ever going to sleep, he doesn't need sleep so why did he... Eizen shifts groggily attempting to get out of the bed he found himself in - only to come crashing down on the cold hard floor.

With his elbow landing on the device the feed flicks on just in time to see and hear the blond hair man curse loudly, sharp jarring pain shooting up his arm. Growling he pushes himself up to sit leaning against the side of the bed, hand reaching up to holding his still swimming head. ]

Where the hell...? Zaveid?

[ He can remember that the idiot had been with him, that they spent the evening drinking and talking as the world continued on around them unaware. ]

If this is some kind of joke I'm not laughing.

( ooc: !!!PLEASE NOTE!!! Eizen will not show up over the network, however you'll still be able to hear his voice!! Please enjoy the riveiting imagery of the Marsiva's walls and maybe part of a bed. Also please make sure to head over here and fill out this for me as well! Thanks friends! )

[ What hasn't Zaveid done is the better question to ask.

Eizen makes a short startled noise, jerking away from the source of the voice. ]

What? [ Zaveid's on a ship? What ship? ] What do you mean he's on his ship?

[monolike]

...ah. [Welp thAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION.] Okay. Um, well, I'm Sorey, and I woke up here just like you and just like everybody else.

So the thing you're on right now is a ship that's sailing through um...the stars. The heavens; I'm sorry, I really don't know a better way to put it. All of us have been abducted, and these ships go around to different worlds and we're all really just trying to stick together and figure out what's going on.

[rockily]

[ Okay, that is a lot of stuff to process when he's still caught on the mention of Zaveid. Sailing through the heavens? Abduction? Distantly he can feel himself getting angry at not only himself being taken against his will but Zaveid too. ]

You're saying on a ship made a metal sailing through the stars. [ Any other time he might have been impressed. Sadly all he feels right now is anger, contempt, and a dull throb in his head. ] And they've been abducting people for what? Entertainment?

[ Guess who already hates Atroma? It's Eizen! ]

[monolike]

[Yeah sorry dude, there's really no way to lessen that info dump. That's like, already the bite-sized version.]

That's the story. People are supposedly watching what we do like it's some sort of play. [Sorey will literally never, ever get it.]

[rockily]

Bastards. Why hasn't anyone tried to stop them?

[ It's makes sense to him to do just that, to find the men responsible and stop them from abducting even more people into their sick little game. He thinks to do it himself, to tear this ship apart until he found the people responsible. Show them it was a mistake to bring him here, a mistake to invoke the Reaper's wrath. ]

[monolike]

It's mostly a matter of not being able to reach them. Some people think there might be a couple agents on the Marvisa -that's where you are- but nobody can get through the doors to the restricted areas of the ship.

[rockily]

[ Challenge accepted. ]

That's probably because you didn't have the Reaper with you.

[ Does it look like he is getting up and moving, because he is. He is going to break down the doors to those restricted areas if it is the last thing he does. ]

[monolike]

[...is the comm- Why is-]

Uh, the Reaper? Are you referring to yourself in third person? -you're going to try and break through the doors! Look, please be careful! They're really thick and we have no idea what kind of defenses they have set up in there!

[rockily]

[ Yup, he is definitely taking the comm on this journey with him. ]

I'll be fine. [ But thanks for worrying about him, whoever you are. ] I've been through worse things than a door trying to attack me.

[monolike]

It's not really the door... [there's like lasers and stuff here dude] But- okay. I can't say I wouldn't be glad to know what's behind there, honestly. Good luck.

[rockily]

[ It's then that Eizen stops abruptly and for seemingly no reason what so ever, hangs up.

Thanks Sorey, he appreciates your good wishes. Talk to you later friend. When he is coming to kick down your door and punch you in the face, I mean what? ]

[monolike]

[......oh gosh it's been a while. Is he okay? Oh geez. Sorey should've tried harder to dissuade him. What if he got hurt? Captured? What if he died?

Oh geez oh geez oh geez. Brb praying for this unnamed seraph's wellbeing.]

[rockily]

[ Thankfully none of those happened, what did however is another story. One that leads Eizen to contact Sorey again with an ominous creaking sound to greet him. ]

You tethered my sister, Shepherd.

[ He's not as angry as he was when Dezel first told him, yet a part of him still twists with protective anger that always come with Edna. ]

[monolike]

[RECORD SCRATCH.

For a few seconds Sorey is thrown for a loop; he was just about to exclaim happily and ask for the guy's name once he'd heard a response, until he'd actually heard it. He doesn't understand the terminology (tethered?) but he's absolutely a Shepherd, and he knows he didn't mention it. And his sister-]

Eizen, [Sorey breathes, feeling a little like an idiot for not considering the possibility before. Dezel's here; of course other people who've already died could've shown up too. Of course they'd bring in someone related to at least one of them, of course it would be Eizen. The man Zaveid vowed he'd kill, his way of saving him; the one Sorey helps him kill, supposedly.

Sorey goes very quiet. Eizen very clearly sounds upset about this tethering thing, but Sorey wasn't going to offer him anything but the truth anyway. He's owed at least that much. (He needs to go check on Zaveid, right now, and Sorey climbs up from the shrine, barely remembering to yank the cloth over it before hurrying down the hall.]

If you mean the pact she's made with my Prime Lord to be a sublord, then I think so.

[rockily]

[ No, he hears Dezel's voice echo in the back of his head. She's not a slave. None of us are. It's sharp in his ears repeating over and over, he wants to believe it, he admitted that much, trust everything the wind seraph said about him. But it's Edna, it's his sister that is bound to him, through willing pact or force he just doesn't know. ]

Did she get a choice before she made this pact? Did you even give her a choice?

[ The Abbey didn't, they forced it onto malak long stripped of their own will, chained them so tight that they couldn't speak without permission. It's all he can think of when he hears Sorey say pact, when he tells Eizen she has become a sublord. Twisting his insides torn between wanting to rip the Shepherd's arms from his body and believing Dezel.

Prove him wrong, by the Five Lords, you better prove him wrong. ]

[monolike]

[Okay that is a lot of hostility; he thinks Edna was forced? Sorey is pretty sure if he tried to force Edna to do anything, he'd die instantly from brutal umbrella beatings.]

Wha- Of course she had a choice! I offered to help her with- um, a problem, [not mentioning the dragon thing just yet, wow, no,] but I would've done it anyway even if she'd refused to come along!

[rockily]

[ A problem? She shouldn't have had any problems, she should be safe at Rayflake. Alone but safe. He pleaded with Phoenix for as much and the normin agreed, swore he would protect her from all that might come to harm her. He thinks to ask more important things sit in the forefront of his mind, so he files it away to ask later. ]

She made that pact willingly.

[ First Dezel, now Sorey. She wouldn't be forced into anything she didn't want to do, a voice reasons, he knows that better than anyone. His sister, his Edna, who is stubborn and strong and cries too easily would never allow herself to be collared and chained. His tone deflates but an edge is still there, still present. ]

You better be telling me the truth, Shepherd.

[monolike]

[????? ?? ????? what is this] I wouldn't lie about this! I'm a Shepherd. I can't even make pacts on my own, my Prime Lord does that!

[rockily]

[ Honestly first he's heard of Prime Lords (????) being the ones who makes the pacts, not that it matters to him right now. ]

Your title isn't as pristine as you think it is, nor does it spare from being human.

[ And then without even waiting for Sorey to reply Eizen once again hangs up. ]

[monolike]

[.............WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT]
