To Eyuzi and Beyond!

[poisontippedcure]

Who: Rose and You!
Broadcast: Yes, at least for part of it.
Action: Around Eyuzi + Red Fish
When: September 2nd - 10th!

[The SS Red Fish]

[To say that Rose was having a rough first day would be an understatement. She'd been shuffled onto the Red Fish almost immediately after arriving on the Marsiva, and the fleet had docked in Eyuzi only a few hours after that.]

[All of this (combined with the lovely hum of the new system) combine to make one very, very sick Miqo'te. Rose spends most of her first full day on the fleet in her room, trying not to feel like she's dying. For the little bit of time that she feels well enough, she'll head over to the kitchen, and then the bridge.]

[Rose tries her best to be put together, but today is an obvious exception. Any of her crew mates who notice her will see that she's more than a little disheveled, and very unhappy. Approach at your own risk?]

[Lyuku]

[Once she finally gets her space legs, Rose immediately heads out to Lyuku, and is surprised to find how much she enjoys it.]

[She even voluntarily goes on one of the "Star Tours," which seems like a good idea until the tour actually begins. Anybody who is "lucky" enough to be in the same tour group with her might hear somebody snickering or making a less than kind comment under her breath. For someone who was raised in a superstitious tribe, Rose is surprisingly critical of other superstitious beliefs.]

[Once the group breaks to stargaze, however, she becomes almost uncharacteristically calm and respectful. For anybody who was waiting for a good chance to talk to her, this is the best one.]

[Broadcast, Fleetwide - September 4th]

[Is by the pool on a cruise ship a good place for a serious broadcast? Of course it is.]

So, I haven't been here very long, and I'm not sure what counts as normal, but I'm positive this isn't it.

I have a few questions, a lot of questions actually, for those that have been here longer. I don't know how I got here, and the only answer that I've been given is that we were summoned here by a group called the Atroma, to be used for entertainment.

Where I come from, kidnapping was never considered polite, but the offending parties were always courteous enough to be honest about their motivations. I know 'Entertainment' isn't the only reason the Atroma brought us here. I'd like to speak with anyone who's found out more.

[Wildcard]

[Rose will be on the cruise until the 6th, after which she'll be at Yanti Rock and Eynewa's Bow.]

Comments

[searingedgelord]

A hellion. Someone corrupted by malevolence.

[She sounds vaguely distracted as she replies because she's still rifling through the shelves.]

And yeah, I do.

[poisontippedcure]

A hellion? So that's what you call it.

[The more she focuses, the more she can feel the taint. Which normally wouldn't be a problem, except for on the ship, she has no access to conjury and no way to commune with the Elementals.]

[This is just life now. Suffering.]

So you know how to use all of these weird boxes, then?

[Y'know, the microwave, the oven, all of those things that don't use fire and yet can somehow still heat food.]

[searingedgelord]

No. I call it being a daemon, like I said in the first place. Hellion is a term from the future. But more people seem familiar with it.

[She looks around at the microwave and such.]

Yeah, kind of. Someone has been showing me how. We don't have this kind of technology in my world.

[poisontippedcure]

Where I come from, we refer to it as 'the taint.' Although I have to admit, this is the first time I've seen it bound to a person.

[For all of the training she's done, Rose has never really stopped to think about it all that much. Usually the problem is solved pretty easily by hurling a few rocks at monsters, she's out of her comfort zone here.]

This is my first time seeing them, as well. Would you show me how they work?

[You know, while she sits over here. A good ten feet away.]

[searingedgelord]

Humans are the source of it in my world, but it can bind itself to anything.

[Good times, right.

She glances at the microwave and then at Rose who is sitting...way over there.]

Sure, but it's not going to make any sense when you can't see the buttons I'm talking about.

[poisontippedcure]

[She wants to say something...]

[But when you think about it, most of the taint she's had to deal with is people doing stupid shit. And there was that one time it bound itself to a dragon.]

[So she'll let it drop as she walks over.]

Fine.

[Standing this close to Velvet, she's in a lot of pain.]

[searingedgelord]

[Once Rose is next to her, Velvet moves to explain the microwave's buttons and whatnot, but she's almost immediately distracted by sneezing.]

[poisontippedcure]

[Rude? Don't sneeze on people. That's how people get sick.]

Is there a problem?

[searingedgelord]

[Wow, it's not like she meant to.

She sniffles.]

...No.

[She'd like that to be true, but she's actually not sure.]

[poisontippedcure]

Okay, then how does this contraption work?

[Also, she doesn't believe you.]
