Who: Velvet Crowe and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: aboard the SS Red Fish
When: right after the Shuffle

[Velvet had woken up in one strange tin can and had only just started to get her bearings when she was suddenly transported to another strange tin can. This isn't how she was expecting today to go.

She stumbles a little but manages to catch herself, oblivious to the fanfare that signals her arrival.]

Where--?

[She takes a moment to steady herself, shaking her head to clear it. She blinks, focusing on her surroundings, trying to make sense of things.]

...Is that pudding?

[Where does pudding fit into all this? And that's not even mentioning the confetti. Actually she hasn't even noticed that yet, or the fact that a lot of it has fluttered into her hair. She looks pretty festive for someone so cranky.]

Comments

voice.

[airily]

[ ... He didn't think today was going to get worse.

What next? Laphicet? Eleanor? He doesn't want to think about it. ]

... Pudding is the first thing you're interested in, huh?

Re: voice.

[searingedgelord]

It's the first thing I recognized.

[There's a lot of stuff to take in and most of it's foreign. At least she knows pudding on sight.

But, wait, she knows that voice. She's pretty sure, anyway. She looks around, confused.]

Zaveid? Is that you?

voice.

[airily]

Guess it's one thing that's familiar.

[ He grins. It's been... A long time for him, but at least she knows who he is. ]

I'm that recognisable? Hey there, Velvet.

voice.

[searingedgelord]

I guess. We've spent enough time together that I recognize your voice, anyway.

[She looks around, still confused. Honestly, what is going on.]

Where are you?

voice.

[airily]

I guess we did spent a lot of time together, didn't we?

[ Welcome to space, Velvet. ]

Uh, I'm on my ship. Huntress.

video

[takingkarabusiness]

It's pudding.

I think you might have something in your hair?

Re: video

[searingedgelord]

[She's about to ask why there's pudding, but the second comment makes her pause to check her hair...and discover the confetti.]

Seriously?

[Just. Grumpily trying to get rid of the confetti now. Why this.]

[takingkarabusiness]

You'll have the best luck with using a comb to go through your hair before you shower. Believe me, once that stuff is wet, it's there forever.

[searingedgelord]

...A comb. Right.

[Does she still have her comb? She'll have to check. But she's a little too on guard at the moment.]

What's going on?

[outstandingbalance]

You could call it pudding, if you want. Might be a little generous, though.

[Natasha didn't actually respond to clarify that, but it's an opening. It's more Velvet's demeanor that gets her attention.]

It's customary for new arrivals.

Re: video

[searingedgelord]

I don't want it.

[The pudding, or to be a new arrival, to be honest.]

[outstandingbalance]

Unfortunately, it's not elective.

[Either the pudding or coming here.]

But you could probably get someone to take the pudding for you.

[searingedgelord]

Great.

[Maybe someone else on the ship will eat the pudding, Velvet is just ignoring it now.]

How do I get home?

action;

[maledictus_semper]

It's confetti, actually. When we arrived here we were welcomed with aplomb. Confetti, cakes and congratulation it seems. Although, I am dubious as to where all this will lead.

[He adjusted his fedora and glanced across to the confetti littering the floor of their craft.]

It seems we're ship mates now you and I. Izunia, Ardyn Izunia.

Re: action;

[searingedgelord]

[She glances sharply Ardyn when he speaks. She almost argues that, no that is definitely pudding, she's not talking about the confetti, but the comment about being shipmates makes her pause and switch focus.]

We are? Says who?

[maledictus_semper]

We are both aboard the SS Red Fish.

[He could hardly believe it himself but it seemed they had been shuffled by peoples unknown and placed aboard ships at random. The SS Red Fish is the one they were on since Ardyn had found out himself.]

As far as I know we are all placed aboard different ships at random, since our initial arrival on the Marsiva. We happen to be on the same ship, hence we are now ship mates.

[Sorry, you're sort of stuck with him?]

[searingedgelord]

Red Fish. Right.

[Well at least he has some useful information. That's something. She tilts her head, listening thoughtfully.]

The Marsiva...Is that where I woke up? I wasn't there long enough to learn anything.

action

[girlverine]

[Between one moment and the next, Velvet would find Laura standing in the doorway, her stance defensive. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, studying the new arrival. She'd just lost two crewmates she'd had for a year, only to have them replaced overnight by two strangers...she was feeling a tad paranoid, maybe.]

[Still, she was apparently Captain now. She couldn't just ignore it.]

You are on the Red Fish.

[The teen answered.]

And yes.

Re: action

[searingedgelord]

[Velvet goes on guard immediately, put on edge by both the girl's sudden appearance and her defensive stance. She doesn't make any sudden or threatening moves, though. Without her weapons she's not in a great position to fight, unless she actually wants to consume someone.

And also, what she really wants is information.]

And the Red Fish is some kind of ship?

action

[girlverine]

Yes. [Initial judgement of the woman was that she was probably dangerous, judging by how quickly she reacted to Laura. Unarmed, but that didn't mean much, Laura knew she looked unarmed too. And...not human. Though she couldn't place the smell she was getting from her.]

Part of the fleet outside of the Marvisa.

action

[searingedgelord]

That doesn't mean much to me.

[She's a little peeved. Though more at the situation than Laura. This all happened so fast she feels like she's having to rush to catch up to figure out what the hell is going on.]

voice;

[monolike]

The pudding's not poisoned! In case you were worried about it. [Sorey hadn't been but Mikleo had practically grabbed it out of his hands to check when he'd transferred to the Huntress.]

voice;

[searingedgelord]

[That hadn't really occurred to her, though maybe it would have if she'd actually been inclined to eat it.]

Doesn't matter. I'm not going to eat it, anyway.

voice;

[monolike]

Fair enough.

Has anyone given you an explanation of this place yet?

voice;

[searingedgelord]

[She sighs.]

There's a guy I know. Zaveid. He's coming to fill me in.
