Who: Koltira Deathweaver
Broadcast: fleet-wide
Action: the Marsiva
When: Early March 17

[The sensation of waking is strange and unfamiliar to Koltira; he can't recall the last time he slept, or even fell unconscious. He rises slowly, flexing his plated fingers. His armor, freshly polished and repaired, gleams darkly under the stark light of the hospitality deck. As he stands, Koltira checks himself for injuries, injuries that were very present at his last recollection. He presses a hand to his side -- nothing. He touches his neck, and finds the recently shredded flesh mostly intact, but he still comes away with a smear of black-green ichor on his palm.

As he fully wakes, the old familiar pain shoots through what remains of his nerves. But he's smiling, sort of. His lips are slightly parted, anyway, showing sharp teeth; the look of an escaped prisoner.

Koltira runs his tongue over his canines. His deep, gravelly voice has an unearthly reverb to it, as though there's a ghost echoing everything he says.]


Whoever you are, my thanks.
ino: (Pardon?)

[ She's just doing her usual routine checking of the network, when ...

Wait, that is a familiar voice. And a familiar face. ]

ino: (Yay~!!)

[ She's not even thinking about the fact that he might not remember her, she's just excited to see him ]

Oh, my god! Hi!
ino: (Ehehehe .....)

[ ... oh. Some of the enthusiasm fades, but -- ]

Oh ... yeah. Sorry. [ A little sheepish laugh ] Uh, it's kinda complicated, but I met you in a different world. But you won't remember it, 'cause usually when you leave, all your memories are erased ...
ino: (Jazz hands!)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Ino, by the way! Nice to ... re-meet you?
ino: (I don't get it.)

1/2 IM SORRY I KEEP DOING THIS TO YOU

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Uh ... yeah.

[ A pause as she debates, before .... she switches the message over to be encrypted to him, since it's probably best if other people dont' know about this. ]
ino: (Ehehehe .....)

Koltira; encrypted forever

So, um ... there was sort of this incident, where I came from. With this guy named Arthas? You helped us take him out when he started causing trouble.

[ That's about the least eloquent way to explain that one, Ino ]
ino: (Let me explain.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's called Paradisa.

Like I said, usually when you leave your memories get wiped, so ... it's no surprise you don't remember. But it was sort of similar to this place, where people can come from all different worlds.
ino: (Hmm ...)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
We had his sword locked away where he wouldn't be able to use it.

That was a long time ago, though. But, um, you also helped teach me a little bit of swordfighting.
ino: (Let me explain.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a warrior, but my weapon of choice is generally a lot smaller. Figured it would come in handy someday, though.
ino: (Cheerful.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. There were a stupid amount of times where I got my weapons taken away and only had a sword for an option, or something like that.

So ... I guess I kinda owe you one, huh? Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get adjusted here. [ Since it sounds like he's happy to be away from his home, anyways ... ]
ino: (Bored/talking.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-19 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Not much, really. The more entertaining we are for the "audience" watching us, the more we get paid. The money can go towards upgrades for the ship you're placed on, or you can also upgrade your own personal "augment". That's the little thing -- [ She reaches back on her own neck to indicate where it's located ] -- right here. Don't try to rip it out or anything, it really hurts and might make you pass out for awhile.
ino: (Cheerful.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-20 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it also translates what everyone's saying so we can all understand each other, and helps you perform whatever your assigned "job" is. Plus, like, basic spaceship stuff so you aren't totally lost on how to get around.
ino: (Let me explain.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-03-20 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure thing!

Oh yeah, and you should be assigned a ship by the end of the week. Right now we're stopped at a planet so they're all docked, but eventually we'll leave and head to a different planet.
