Broadcast: No
Action: The Blameless and the Iskaulit
When: 9/3-9/7

The Blameless, 9/3

[After so many months on the ship with her brother and the humans that seemed to come and go as they pleased, Edna's gotten used to people who can see her. She knows that she still doesn't show up well on the communicators because they just don't have any resonance, but that doesn't matter to her one bit. It's much more interesting to be the disembodied voice over the little machines in her opinion.

Since Calibrations, the fact that she's so far from Rayfalke after spending nearly her entire life on the mountainside has left her feeling listless. The last system didn't help with its distinct lack of anything truly natural on the planet's surface. Jobs on the farms with Sorey helped, but she's just not that easily satisfied. She never has been, if you ask Eizen or Zaveid.

Her slow-building irritation isn't helped by the disruption being put off by the newer system they approach. If anything, it's worsened. And where she would normally walk around silently, moving between her room with her small collection of things from her friends and the Atroma, the personnel office that makes up her "duties",and the ship's kitchen. As the days drag on, her footsteps grow heavier, shaking the ship's floor for yards around her.]

Move. You're in the way. [Manners are overrated. Sorry, shipmates.]

The Iskaulit, 9/4

[She can't stand the ships and the confinement and the lack of fresh air. And so she's taken a shuttle to the Iskaulit to find an area to stretch her legs. She'd offered to help that Hawke woman with her strange sage-like herb, but she hasn't started yet with the irritation in the air as of late.

She stops when she reaches an area that's open and bare. It's big enough for her to let out all of her frustration on. Honestly, it's perfect. She removes her communicator from the pouch she's taken to carrying and sends out two identical texts to Mikleo and Eizen. "I'm on the Iskaulit. Come to the big open area on the other side of the ship from Malum." Then she prepares to wait.]

The Iskaulit, 9/7

[Anyone visiting the large ship over the last three days will not have missed all of the noise coming from this previously abandoned area and should they arrive, they'll find the small Earth Seraph staring at the scene of chaos with a sort of half-pleased smile on her face.

Until she's interrupted by someone she doesn't immediately know.]

Do you need help with something?

Comments

[brothersboots]

That's true.

[She flashes him a quick smile before kicking her booted feet against the metallic floor of the ship and going back to staring at the mountain.]

There are worse things than nicknames though.

[tsunergy]

...I won't argue with that.

[He's felt the stab of her umbrella enough times to know better.]

[brothersboots]

[Edna pulls out the Elfroot plant she got from Hawkeye and looks it over.]

This plant is supposed to be magical, to be used in potions. But it just looks like sage to me. Nothing too special.

[tsunergy]

[Mikleo peers over, scrutinizing it, and leans in to give it a sniff.]

Doesn't smell like any herb I'm familiar with. Do you want to plant some around the mountain?

[brothersboots]

That's my plan. I told Featherhead....Hawke that I'd see what I could do with it. She was whining about not having enough for her potions.

[She looks over at him with a suspicious expression.]

It might be interesting.

[tsunergy]

[good grief, what is he getting himself into.]

Dezel or Zaveid might be of better use to you there... they're the ones with plants all over their rooms. But I can help to give them pure water, if you want.

[brothersboots]

[Because he's a sap and she actually can be pretty convincing when she needs to be.]

If I wanted Sharkface or Grampveid's help, I would have asked them.

[She asked you.]

[tsunergy]

[should he be honoured? he's not honoured.

he is a bit touched, though. as usual, Edna's way of showing that she cares is unorthodox, but it's recognizable.]

I had no idea I'd become so dependable for you.

[brothersboots]

[ Wow, what a way to dishonor her love and trust for you, Mikleo. That's going to earn you another nickname. Worse than Fluffleo.

And Edna doesn't do anything the way that others do. She wants to be different. ]

Well, you're not worthless. That's a start.

[tsunergy]

Gee, thanks.

[AND YOU'RE NOT A TOTAL BRAT, I GUESS]

[brothersboots]

You're welcome.

[She kicks her feet like am amused kid, because she certainly is amused.]

So, you're going to help me. You can even bring Sorey.

[tsunergy]

Knowing Sorey, he'll be excited about the prospect. Why not make it a group effort? Sorey has the ability to help improve the growth of plants now, actually- it could help a lot.

[brothersboots]

I'll think about it. I mean, he was useful on that planet that had all the farms in space.

And it's just new enough that he might get all nerdy about the details.

[tsunergy]

I can guarantee he'll do that.

[And Mikleo will be right there nerding out beside him, as usual. See what you've invited into your domain?]
