driftfleet | [video]

Who: Victor Nikiforov and OPEN
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva's Hospitality Deck (common area)
When: Shortly after he wakes up and has had time to explore a bit, so sometime in the middle of the "day"

[The video shows a man wearing a black T-shirt and coat. He is smiling and seems to be happy and cheerful. He has the strap of a sports bag over his shoulder. One hand is to his face, a finger touching his lips.

Despite having just woken up in the middle of space with no idea how he got here, he seems completely at ease.]

I wish someone had told me I was going to be on television today. Honestly, I'm grateful that you took me on my way home from practice because it means I have my skates, but I would have dressed up for the occasion had I known. A nice suit perhaps? At least a decent sweater. [He hand moves down to grip the sports bag's strap.]

I could look so much better given a little bit of notice. [Then he winks, and it's not clear if that's meant for anyone who is receiving this message, the much bigger audience they're told exists, or just because he likes winking.

Then, after a moment, he gets to the true purpose of this message.]

Oh, and if anyone has seen Yuuri Katsuki please let me know. He's Japanese, about 173 centimeters in height, has black hair and brown eyes, and wears glasses. Let him know that Victor is looking for him if you see him, hm?

Oh! I'm sorry, that was rude of me - I'm Hermione. [ She would do more than just shift awkwardly, but they're not in person so she can hardly shake his hand. ] Hermione Granger. It's nice to meet you, Victor.

Rude? You offered to help when I needed it. That's the opposite of being rude.

It's nice to meet you too.

Say, so each of these ships. Do any of them have exercise rooms or dance studios perhaps?

Well, the Iskaulit has a few empty rooms and a gym. I'm not sure if it would be big enough for a dance studio, but you could take a look once you're allowed off the Marsiva?

You can travel between the ships once you're assigned one?

Yes! Each ship has shuttles and you can use them to visit the others.

That's good! That means if my Yuuri does arrive I can easily get to him! Can you visit the Marsiva once you leave?

Unfortunately, no one can go or leave from the Marsiva - you're sort of... Teleported out once you're shuffled. It happens weekly, though.

That means, if we arrives after I leave I'll have to wait a bit to see him, but we can communicate like you and I are.

That's not so bad.

I think he might enjoy staying home though. He has a family and I need someone to feed Makkachin while I'm here. [A pause, before he realizes she has no idea who Makkachin is.] That's my dog.

Exactly. You should be able to give him your personal device number, too, so he can contact you when he likes.

[ Hermione smiles, though; this is completely endearing. ]

It's alright, I understand. I left my dog behind too.

You have a dog too? What's their name?

One of my many pets. He was called Godric.

Godric is a good name. Makkachin is a standard poodle. We've been together for a very long time.

Oh! It's been a long time since I saw a poodle. Godric looked like a wolf but he had wings.

He had wings?? Dogs don't usually have wings do they?

Not normally, no, but he was a special dog. He was native to the world I was in before this one.

Oh... I'm still wrapping my head around the idea of different worlds.

Is yours one with magic?

Yes! [ Most people take the magic thing well, but... ] My home world and the Drabwurld were both magical. I'm a witch.

[He blinks and it takes him a moment to accept that.] Interesting!

What is your world called?

It's just Earth, as far as I know. I'm from Britain.

Oh! My world is Earth too. I've visited London before. It's lovely.

I don't think there's any winged dogs or magic spells there though, unless you count the magic of a good performance. [He chuckles softly at that idea, because he's already seen things that definitely count more as real magic.]

I suppose a good performance is magical, but... The witches and wizards do keep magic a secret. If our worlds are the same one you probably didn't know because they didn't want you to know.

Why do you keep your magic secret?

It's safer for everyone, really. Muggles don't have a history of trusting magic and a lot of magical people don't trust muggles, either.

It's one of those times where people don't trust something different than them, hm?

Exactly. It's a little easier for me, since my parents didn't have magic.
