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.]

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?

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.

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?

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

[ Welcome to space, Velvet. ]

Uh, I'm on my ship. Huntress.

Yeah.

[The way he says that they spent time together is a little weird, but okay. So is everything else here, pretty much.

She is pretty unsure of space, thanks.]

I'm...on a ship, too. I guess.

Edited (formatting) 2017-03-26 01:10 (UTC)

Yeah? Which one? Maybe I'll come by and say hello.

[ As long as SOMEONE isn't there. ]

Don't know yet. I just got here.

[She's still trying to put things together. It's a lot to take in.]

Then go find out! How're you supposed to meet up with an old friend if you don't know what ship you're on?

Just give me a minute.

[it's said snappishly, but she does actually seek out the information. She's just real grumpy about it.

Eventually she responds again.]

Red Fish? Something like that.

[ It's lucky he's used to snappish people now... ]

Great. I'm gonna come and see you.

Okay. And then will you tell me what's going on?

Sure I will!

[ As much as he can, anyway. Thankfully, he's a little better when it comes to the shuttles than he used to be and he makes his way over to the other ship, sending Velvet a message when he lands. ]

I've docked, come and get me.

Yeah, yeah. I'm still learning my way around.

[Which means it takes her a few minutes, but eventually she gets there to let him on board.]

[ And then he moves, coming off the shuttle and out onto the ship itself, and for a moment he just... Waits.

Because he looks different, right? ]

Yo.

[What the hell, this isn't how he looked last time she saw him. Just kind of stares for a minute. And then:]

Your hair's a mess.

So's yours.

[ Rude af. ]

If you're just gonna insult an old man I could just go...

[Whatever, Zaveid can insult her hair if he wants.]

Don't you dare.

[ He's gonna!! Frequently!! ]

I'm thinking about it...

Zaveid.

[Her tone is sharp, and maybe slightly more desperate than she wanted. She needs information and she does actually trust Zaveid. She's just bad at being nice.]

Velvet.

[ All he does is cross his arms, grinning at her. ]

[Just giving him a look. A look that basically says he's insufferable but she's willing to tolerate him anyway.]

What am I doing here? I was kind of in the middle of something.

Hey, we were all kinda busy, y'know.

[ But he shakes his head, huffing out a breath of air. ]

You're here because the Atroma brought you to entertain people.

[Okay, that's the first time anyone has mentioned entertainment.]

Are you serious? If they wanted entertainment they should have grabbed Magilou.

Does it look like I'm kidding, Velvet? [ He shakes his head. At least this is comfortingly familiar. ] Maybe they wanna see tall, dark and brooding hanging around here.

[She huffs.]

I'm still a bad choice. I'm not that tall.
