When: Now!

[ When the feed comes on, the woman featured mostly looks... Awkward, and unsure of herself. It takes her a moment to realise her pressing buttons worked, and then she brightens, leaning forward so that her face is in the camera a little more. She's trying, but modern technology is still a bit of a leap for her, despite knowing how to use it thanks to her augment. It's foreign, but she's doing her best. ]

Andaran atish’an. My name is Leilani of Clan Lavellan - I was told there were other elves here, from Thedas. I was hoping to meet them, if I could? It's not necessary, of course, but...

[ But she does rather want to be with her people right now, or some of them, if she can. She doesn't feel particularly comfortable and she thinks she has reason enough to feel on edge, all things considered.

Hopefully, no one will notice her lack of vallaslin. She's not in the mood. She seems to steel herself, at least, and something settles as she sits up. ]

I'd be glad to speak to anyone else, as well, especially if I can be given more information about this place. I would appreciate it. Ma serannas.

The planets can explode?

[ Velvet, what the fuck. ]

Why? How did it happen? Was there no one to help?

[searingedgelord]

[Look, no one ever said she was good at this. It doesn't help that she's upset because a friend of hers died. She's blunt when she's mad.]

Okay, maybe explode is the wrong word. [Implodes?? Maybe not. Maybe there's not really a word adequate to describe it.] It's definitely destroyed, though.

[She sweeps some confetti out of the corner.]

It was hit by a meteor. We helped people evacuate, but there was nothing we could do to save the planet itself.

[veilstrike]

Is that normal here?

[ To have this fleet go planet to planet and save people after people... It's eerily familiar, but that doesn't mean she wants to know too much about it. It's unnerving, to come to another place where people need her help. ]

[searingedgelord]

Not really. [At least in her experience.] I've been here a few months and that's the only time we've dealt with something of that magnitude so far. I'm hoping it doesn't become normal.

[veilstrike]

I hope so as well. [ She frowns, arms crossing. ] I'm used to helping people, but not to that extreme.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, it was kind of a mess.

[And Velvet wouldn't really say she's used to helping people, personally. Although she has. She just doesn't really think of herself that way.]

[veilstrike]

But it's better now?
