Who: Katara and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide video.
Action: On the Marsiva.
When: March 20th.
[ the bunk itself might be unfamiliar, but waking in an unfamiliar place isn't - not with as much time as she'd spent trying to manage herself in paradisa, at least. she frowns a little, trying to make sense of the new knowledge she has access to.
ugh.
she swings her legs over the edge of the bunk, grabbing at her communicator and squinting a little at the screen. her memories felt foggy, and nothing about that was pleasant. ]
Hello? Um - it's Katara. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the Castle's behind this?
[ she sounds vaguely hopeful, but- no, katara, no. you are blaming the wrong jamjar. please try again. ]

And ah...did you ever watch a movie in Paradisa? Or a TV show? Reality shows are apparently...sort of like that.
Video
That's - um. Okay.
[ and katara takes a measured breath. ]
You know, I really don't know why I'm surprised by anything anymore.
Video
But, at least there's a few of us here from Paradisa. I suppose Atroma likes us for some reason.
Video
Video
Right now you should be Marsiva. You'll probably be assigned to a new ship tomorrow.
Video
[ she takes a breath, holds it, and then, with a little frown: ]
I know a lot of stuff I shouldn't. [ and even knowing why doesn't make the feeling any less weird. ] How long have you been here?
Video
...It's been almost six months for me now.
Video
[ katara's voice is soft and full of helpless exasperation. ]
But - at least we're not alone, I guess. Ugh, it's so weird- it feels like everything happened a thousand years ago and yesterday at the same time.
Video
[Some memories were so vivid in his mind, while others- felt so far away. So fuzzy. It was...beyond strange]
But at least you remember things! I've seen familiar faces here, but a lot of them don't remember anything about the castle. So it's nice to not sound insane.
Video
[ the surprise of what she just overheard is enough to crack the tension. omg pardon her while she just cracks up a little bit. ]
Video
He's our captain!
Video
[ - she's only saying it like that because she knows he can overhear her. :') ]
Video
He's not so bad, just eccentric sometimes.
Video
[ she means none of it. really, she's just trying to figure out if there's a way to - well, get to his ship right now. this video thing is an incredible improvement over the functionality of the journals, but it's not nearly the same thing as seeing someone in person. ]
Video
Believe me, I've dealt with much more exhausting people than him.
Video [-> personal communicator]
How is he? I mean, I'm not saying you should have been looking after him, but if you're on a ship together you probably have a pretty good idea--?
[ she'd seen people worn so, so thin by paradisa. did the same thing happen here? ]
Video [-> personal communicator]
He's been alright. He works hard to be a good captain and look after us. I'd say he's one of the better captains in the fleet.
I do think he's missed home though, and all of you. So...it's good that you're here.
Video [-> personal communicator]
I remember what it was like, being there without him. I mean, I wish I was home, but - I'm glad to finally be here, if he is.
Video [-> personal communicator]
[Not that he has any. But he remembers Komui and Lenalee. How both of them would go through hell and back for each other]
Maybe now you two can find a way home together.
Video [-> personal communicator]
Video [-> personal communicator]
Oh, I remember him alright. [He returns a smile] I don't think it's bad...Zuko, always...seem to have a tendency to make things much more...dramatic than they needed to be?
Video [-> personal communicator]
And you have a gift for understatement, huh.
Video [-> personal communicator]
Sorry. He came and went so often in Paradisa that after awhile...I suppose I didn't interact with him as much as you did by the end.
Video [-> personal communicator]
I'm just being dramatic, too. Honestly, I'm still kind of trying to just... adjust. It's like I'm waiting for the big reveal, that this is just another one of the castle's tricks- it was pretty good at those.
