driftfleet | Suddenly Seymour (001)

Who: Seymour Krelborn and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Marsiva
When: Right now

[Seymour wakes up slowly, and at first he doesn't even realize anything is wrong until he suddenly realizes that he had no memory of even trying to go to bed last night with... everything that happened.]

I don't remember...

[His vague confusion quickly grows to near-panic as he realizes he's in a completely unfamiliar area. He almost jumps out of his cot and tries in vain to find some sort of exit to this place.

Of course that stops as soon as he looks out of the window and notices that he is in space. He barely keeps himself from screaming as he tries desperately to now look for anyone else on the ship.]

Hello? Am I dreaming? Or dead?

... Twoey, did you do this?

[He didn't know why Twoey would want to trap him in space, but why couldn't they? They could apparently grant wishes and can talk, and Seymour really had no idea what the extent of their powers were.

... Dear god did he just fall into a trap?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Seymour notices the pink hair before he notices that it's actually another human. Because of this it takes him a little bit to relax due to the fact that he's not alone anymore, but it it comforting to know that there's someone else here.]

You think we've been kidnapped? Besides being dead I can't think of a reason why we'd be here.

[... Also he's gotta bring up the hair thing because wow that sure is interesting.]

... Your hair is very pink.

[Good enough.]

[She glances down at her hair. He's the second person to mention that. How odd.] Ah, thank you. Your hair is very brown.

But no, we couldn't be dead. We're alive. [Flawless logic, right?] And I don't think death is being on a spaceship, do you? [Not that she could tell him what she does think death is like other than she always hoped it would be a good place where people she lost would be happy and together.]

[He gives Euphemia a confused look. God is the pink hair just normal for her?]

Maybe? I've never really been dead before, and space travel isn't really a thing in where I'm from, so I can't imagine how I got here otherwise.

[She would explain if she realized it was abnormal for him.] Maybe we were drugged and carried aboard an experimental spaceship? [She doesn't sound very confident. She finds the whole thing very strange herself.]

Maybe? But I feel like I would have had some memory of getting drugged last night.

[He was... very alert last night...]

Don't you think you'd have some memory of dying too? [But she can't really fault his logic. She's concerned about her own hazy memories surrounding the whole thing.]

I guess that makes sense...

[He seems kind of unsure though. After all, he could more easily buy into his brain suppressing his death rather than suppressing being drugged.]

I guess either way we'll find out sooner or later. I'm just having a really hard time taking this all in.

If it makes you feel any better, you aren't alone in that. It's all very strange. I haven't found anyone I recognize here.

Me too. Although I guess I would be amazed if anyone I recognized showed up here...

[He's genuinely unsure if he'd be happy or horrified if Audrey showed up here, mainly.]

Really? I'm hoping for it. [Maybe she won't be once she learns more about the situation, but she very much wants to see someone she knows now.]

I dunno, I think I'd be happier knowing that they're safe on Earth and away from whatever these guys have in store for us.

... Plus there's not a whole lot of people I'm really missing right now anyway.

[God that's so sad, why does he have only one friend?]

I do wonder who might be safer. [It wasn't exactly safe back home a lot of the time.] If it's them then I wouldn't want them to come here. [But she does want to see them.]

I think with caring for people it's not really about quantity. [Trying to be reassuring.]

If you say so...

[It really doesn't help that, at this point, he's not sure how much Audrey really likes him, but he does have enough sense to not throw a pity party in front of this complete stranger.]

Who do you want to be here, if you don't mind?

Well, there's my knight, Suzaku. And my brother, Lelouch, and sister Nunnally. I'd like to see my sister, Cornelia too, but I think she'll be upset I was captured. We haven't been agreeing much lately.

What about you? You said there aren't a lot of people you're missing, but there must be some.

Your knight? [Where are you from??] I guess at least you'll have people to look forward to when you go back home, but sorry that you and your sister aren't getting along.

I guess I miss Audrey mostly. I don't know how she'd take to suddenly being in space, but I really hope I can see her again soon.

[The Holy Britannian Empire conveniently located almost everywhere including North and South America.] I suppose it's normal for sisters to disagree sometimes. And for sisters and brothers to do the same. [Her brother did point a gun at her a couple of times recently.]

Is Audrey family?

If you say so. I don't have siblings myself so I wouldn't know.

[Or... a family but he's not really feeling telling her a sob story when he can gush about Audrey.]

Kinda, we work together and she's pretty much my closest [only] friend. She's the nicest and prettiest person I've ever met; I don't know how she puts with me sometimes.

She must like you. Why would that be so surprising? [She gives him a gentle smile.] I'm sure she's happy to have a friend in you.

You really mean that? [He's completely shocked by that.] I hope so. Audrey means the whole world to me. If I knew for a fact that she loved me, I'd probably die right now.

[It doesn't even register to him that he just heavily implied that he has a crush on Audrey.]

[Funny, she ordered someone to love her to keep him from dying once. They are both clearly very good at love.] Well, I can't be sure about that much, but I think living right now would be better too.

[Really they know everything about how to do relationships.]

O-of course! I wouldn't want to die if that happened, I just...

[... Have a hard time believing that anyone would actually love me like that.]

I-I dunno, I've been told I get really nervous easily, I guess...
