Who: Oren and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Evening...?!

[With his arms stretched wide, Oren is now taking in the view of the Marsiva's large windows.]

Well, I should count myself blessed to witness this with my own eyes! [He laughs, and it sounds joyous, if short. Turning in place, his hands fall back to his sides, and he's flashing a grin around the area. Night. Night, this was definitely night... And there were others here, he'd just not run into them. So what does he do?]

Have I missed the celebrations? The dancing? [Finally, he stops stepping backwards and turns to face the window yet again. Expansive and dark, but as captivating as it was-- what did this mean for Nocta?]

Night falls, and all it's met with is quiet? Tell me, have you all been stunned to silence, or am I left here alone with this view?

well jeez this'll just be voice forever probably

[birdsbirdsbirds]

It is quite stunning... But not an unusual sight, where I'm from.

Let me guess--you come from a world with no night to speak of.

VIDEO FOREVER the eternal battle

[twocomplex]

I should think that much is obvious. But you speak as if there are any other worlds to speak for!

[That's weird as heck and he's already met a plant person, so... alarming. He leans in closer, smiling like he's having fun despite it all.]

Now, why is that? You claim to see night?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I do claim such. But--! I would hate to be responsible for ruining your celebration, truly.

[there's a creaking that might suggest him sitting in a chair... and he still sounds perfectly pleasant as well. it's so charming out here. dang.]

[twocomplex]

Oh, you underestimate my desire to celebrate.

[He laughs playfully, his hands sliding off from the sides of the screen as he stands tall again.]

What must that be like? If you're going to be handing out such tales, I do expect a fun telling. [Not that he doesn't believe him. He's got what his augment gave him, but really, this is all very hard to deal with. Walk him through it, won't you? They could have some fun this way.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[well, that gets a laugh out of him too.] --I'm delighted. So many people have arrived hungry for stories lately.

All right. Where I am from, the world is shaped like a sphere, and the sun and the moon chase each other in circles around the sky. Daylight warms the earth and breathes life into the trees and animals and then, later in the day, the sun retreats over the horizon as night covers the sky in a dark just like this one.

Cools the world down, pulls the tides of the oceans along with it as it goes. The moon is smaller, closer, and faster, so sometimes you can see the both of them in the sky at once.

It's a shame, you just missed the last star system... They had three moons.

[twocomplex]

Are you quite certain that's not fiction? [He asks that, but his smile says he's not really asking. It's just another way to play. To wrap himself around dealing with all of this nonsense that he doesn't know how to cope with.]

Or maybe you just have the voice. [He gestures at the screen, and his smile shifts into something a little more teasing.] That's all I have to go off of, after all! Despite my desire to view this doubtlessly beautiful star system, I believe the shame lies there.

[He doesn't get a peek? Come on now.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Aw. You're a flatterer, aren't you?

[which is all he says about that.]

[twocomplex]

[Flatterer? He laughs like that’s an outrageous claim, waving his hand at the screen dismissively.] Nonsense! I’ve woken alone and confused; it only makes sense to be curious!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Ah, it does... But I'm afraid I'll be of no fun in that regard. I look a mess when I first wake up.

[nevermind that it's like 7pm and he is absolutely making shit up.]

[twocomplex]

Oh? When I hear those words, my friend, it only sounds fun to me.

[Were you really sleeping good sir.]

Still, I’ll take your word for it, as I have little else to do.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Thank you. You'll see me sooner rather than later, I'm sure.

[he was totally not sleeping. probably.]

May I answer any more of your questions? I won't even stop you from doubting my every unbelievable response.

[twocomplex]

Doubting? Well, perhaps, but I'd prefer to call it a prolonged consideration.

[Shut the fuck up Oren. Sooner rather than later? Well, he'd like to get off this big boring ship, at least.]

I believe many of the rest of my questions have already been answered. The rest I can only assume will come to me as I proceed. [He can figure it out.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[WOW THIS GUY Robin's trying not to laugh, but he sounds pretty amused.]

If you've a sharp mind and a bit of common sense, yes. Good luck, friend.

[twocomplex]

[Just a bit of common sense? He should be fine, he thinks, but he keeps that to himself with a grateful bow of his head.]

Thank you! [Then, that's that. He'll take a look around.]
