[ 3rd Blessing - action/video ]

[luxoraculi]

Who: Lunafreya and YOU~
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: If you are aboard the First Breath! And a little somethin' somethin' for Noctis....
When: RIGHT NOW GO GO GO

[ As the feed clicks on, the first thing the view can see is the face of one Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, seated upon her bed which has been neatly made. As a matter of fact, everything in the small space she calls a bedroom looks clean and tidy, as if no one has been sleeping or living in it. There is a very distinguishable lump under the sheets, though -- if one looks hard enough, they may see a tuft or two of midnight black fur. A certain pup has taken residence in her bed, it would seem. But that isn't the point of this broadcast. She flashes a tired smile. ]

Good evening, everyone. I wanted to issue out a formal apology for those of you whom may have seen some things a few days ago. [ Oh, you remember. During calibrations. ] I pray that you will forgive me for any trouble being stuck with me may have caused, or the visions you may have seen.

[ With that said, she offers a tiny, apologetic bow. She knows not all of the visions -- memories, whatever they were -- were not the most pleasant, and she truly does regret that people had to see any of them at all. But she straightens soon enough, hands folding in her lap once more. ]

Even with the chaos, I managed to meet some wonderful new people, and I must say I feel extremely blessed to have made such wonderful friends within the fleet. [ Ya'll know who she's talking about. ] There are even more people here now, and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. I especially look forward to meeting and getting to know all of my new crew mates. Bless you all.

[ Just before the feed cuts, Luna can be seen offering one more polite bow. For those aboard the the First Breath, feel free to come hang out with her. Meet Umbra! Just say hello! ]

[ Action - Locked to Noctis ]

[luxoraculi]

[ A short while after Luna makes her broadcast, she awakens her beloved canine companion with a few strokes to his head before she stands and leaves her room. The hallway is silent as she makes her way down, save for the quiet tapping of Umbra's nails against the metal floor and her own heels clicking quietly with each step she takes. She is a woman on a mission, and her mission is simple: go visit Noctis, clearly.

He's just transferred over, after all. So she makes her way to his room and knocks a few times, quietly as she has done everything else thus far. She's not sure if he's asleep or not... she knows how disorienting this must be for him, and she's sure he has a lot of questions that she hasn't quite had time to answer. But she's got the time now, and he deserves an explanation. ]

Noctis, are you awake?

Heeeeeey gurl

[starless_sky]

<sub>[Surprisingly he is awake. He doesn't sleep as well on these mattresses and being shuffled around yet again is disorienting. He needs a few more days to settle and some time with his friends. Seeing Umbra will help too.

He hears the knock and sits up, he'd been sitting on his bed fiddling with the communicator and wondering what to say to Luna. Of course she took the initiative first. He rushed up his ladder to open the hatch.]</sub>

Luna.... Umbra? _{[He grinned and pet the dog.]} You too? Come here. Where's Pryna?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY

[luxoraculi]

[ Luna has hauled Umbra up with her this time around -- he's getting used to all of the climbing he's gotta do here on the First Breath. But there's no way in heck she's letting Noctis just hang out here by himself... unless he wants to, at least. But she figures he'll want to see Umbra at the very least.

She smiles at him when he opens the hatch, and Umbra's tail wags as he barks in greeting. ]

Hello, Noctis. I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to the First Breath... and because Umbra has missed you. [ She hums in thought at his question. ] Pryna is still at home. I just got lucky, I suppose, to get Umbra a few months back.

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this~

[starless_sky]

_{[He doesn't like being alone in a strange place. He has Prompto and Ignis of course but... he liked Luna. Wanted. NEEDED to see Luna. He hadn't worked up the nerve to come find her yet.]}

That's great... come in, here. Let me... _{[He took Umbra into a one-armed carry and headed down the ladder to his room. He set the dog on the floor and he set to sniffing the whole cabin.]}

It's not much to look at but... well here it is. Luna... are you okay here? Is... is everything... I... _{[he has so many questions but doesn't know how to ask them. How he she here, did she really die? He knew she did, she said goodbye to him. But she'd been declared dead before and he never saw her body... he didn't know what to think.]}

are you okay?

Floating around in spaaaaace~~

[luxoraculi]

[ She gets that. When she'd first arrived, she hadn't known anyone and had been so very confused because... well, she's not supposed to be alive. But here she is, given a second chance thanks to the Atroma. Everyone else hates them, but she doesn't... she can't. ]

Thank you, Noctis. [ She smiles as he takes Umbra, and she follows Noctis in. His room looks just like everyone else's, although it's emptier because he hasn't had a chance just yet to gather things from the places they've gone. ]

It's nice, I like it. [ He's nervous, he's unsure. She can understand that, too. It must not be easy seeing someone you watched die suddenly not being dead and alive and well. ] I am alright here, yes. Everything is fine.

[ Mostly. ]

...Are you alright, though?

let's float holding hands

[starless_sky]

_{[He has a lot of things to get through. Confusion, disorientation, fear of her suddenly going back to being dead... fear of going back home now that she was here...fear of her not feeling the same about him. Though he knew... he KNEW.]}

I'm glad... good. Good...

Me? I'm alright. I don't know why I'm here or anything. Things have been so confusing. That room we were in...

_{[he cried like a baby when he saw her, he hugged her so tight, that was kind of embarrassing...]}

Uhm... sorry.

[torsion]

You have quite the positive outlook on all of this.

[luxoraculi]

There is no other way to really look at it, in my opinion. Besides, there are far worse places we could be right now. I suppose, despite how odd it may be, this is just a chance to broaden our horizons.

[torsion]

Well, you're right about all of it. It's a little difficult to wrap my head around. I'd certainly be the first to help organize a coup, but it's hard to when you're not sure where to find your captors or what any kind of threat or action may do to our situation, being stuck here.

Can't hurt to try and be positive, though.

[luxoraculi]

That is very true. It's a strange thing, is it not? To not only be stuck in space, but to be at the mercy of captors we haven't a lot of information on. Perhaps one day, though. I refuse to believe we will be stuck here forever. Granted, I fear to think what may happen when our captors bore of us.

Only good can come from being positive. And perhaps a solution to our problem sooner than later.



[torsion]

Then let's not think about that. There's enough of us and I'm sure we've got plenty of smarts and ingenuity on our side. You just have to believe that the right thing will happen in the end, don't you agree?

Sooner would be nice.

[luxoraculi]

I do agree. We have all been called upon for a reason, and while I highly doubt it is to truly entertain the masses, we can at the very least help one another out to the best of our abilities.

I do believe sooner is what most people would agree to as well.

[moseyin]

Why're you apologizing for shit that's completely out of your hands? I'm pretty sure you were probably one of the nicer people to go brain spelunking.

[luxoraculi]

Good evening, Cloud. While it may not have been done purposely, I feel the need to apologize simply because I know it was very troublesome for people to have to see some things, and for stumbling into other things that were not my business.

[ ...Even though it wasn't her fault. Like he said. ]

[moseyin]

Mm. [Well, it's not like she's wrong about some people maybe wanting to hear an apology, but getting it from someone like Luna just...feels odd.] D'you know if that stuff happens a lot? Because it's gonna be a huge problem if that's the case.

[luxoraculi]

I have no idea. I have heard it has happened once before, but I know not how long ago that was. But I agree, that was a little... messy. At least for some people, I have been told.

[moseyin]

Yeah tell me about it.

Guess that solves the question of whether or not they care if people get seriously hurt here. [The creature comforts are just for show, seems like.] What if somebody got like, brain damage or something?

[luxoraculi]

I agree with you. Since we are supposedly here to entertain the intergalactic masses, I would assume the more carnage the better for ratings. [ Bro, EVERYTHING here is for show... ] However, I am unsure if they would allow for it to go that far. They seem to always take care of those whom have been injured. They do need us, after all.

[maledictus_semper]

[Guess which space troll is here to irritate you, Luna? He comes bearing his usual smug face and fashionable dumpster fashion.]

Oh, how delightful you consider me a friend, my lady. The feeling is mutual?

[Not you, Ardyn. She was referring to the other people aboard the fleet such as Noctis, Prompto, Ignis and others. Not you. He offered her a tilt of his fedora and a slick smile.]

Perhaps, we can arrange a little meeting aboard your ship, hm? I haven't been aboard the First Breath yet.

[luxoraculi]

[ Uggggh. Luna's eyes narrow a little, but she doesn't give into her annoyance so easily this time. He feeds off of it, after all, and she's not going to give him the satisfaction. Not right now, at least. ]

I never mentioned names, Chancellor.

[ She has a feeling a certain feeling is mutual, at the very least. ]

I don't think that is a good idea at all. I think it might be best for you to stay aboard the Red Fish. Surely you have made many friends there.

[ ...Or not. ]

[this_loser]

[There's a bit of commotion outside your door, Luna. Almost as if someone wasn't paying attention to where he was going and knocked himself into a wall. The "ow" and a peel of embarrassed laughter would confirm that that is exactly what happened.

Regardless, his eye will be trained on the viewfinder of his camera rather than anything else as he attempts to get an artsy shot of the corridor.]

[luxoraculi]

[ Luna has just ended her video feed when she hears a thump. The woman blinks and looks up, only to hear a familiar voice. Umbra lifts his head too, although he is far too lazy to get out of bed and follow Luna as she makes her way to her door and opens it, peering out into the hallway to find exactly who she thought it was: Prompto.

Amusement fills her, and she is quick and quiet as she steps out of her room and just sort of sneaks up on the poor young man until she is standing directly behind him. ]

Good evening, Prompto.

[this_loser]

[He yelps, jumping, and his shot is ruined. He checks before even turning to see what startled him. (Priorities.) The image is a diagonal streak of colors. He sighs, fingers finding the delete feature even as he turns and stands.]

Oh. Hey. Hello. [Damn it. He pinches his lips together.] Hi, Luna. Sorry if I disturbed you. I was just... you know. [He raises the camera as explanation.]

[luxoraculi]

[ Poor Prompto. She shouldn't find this nearly as humorous as she does, but it's Prompto. Placing her hands behind her back, her smile widens and she quickly shakes her head. ]

You did not disturb me, if anyone should be apologizing for disturbing anyone it should be I. I did mess up your picture, after all, so please forgive me, Prompto.

[ Even if it was amusing, she should have at least given him time to get his picture. Does this count as artistic oppression? ]

[this_loser]

Nah. [He waves off the apology and turns to fiddling with the camera out of nervous habit.] I can always take another. No big.

Um, been settling in okay?
