Who: Cyril Lavellan and OPEN
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Wonderduck
When: Shortly after they arrive at the new system

[Cyril has been meaning to ask this of the fleet since he had met Leilani, but his own pride had gotten in the way. However, the general mood of wariness this new system brings and the news of a violent race of people on it makes him realize it's even more important to address this. If he's put in a dangerous situation he needs to make sure he has all of the resources he can to protect others and himself.

So, when the broadcast starts now Cyril is seen from his mid chest up. The missing arm is noticeable as he's pinned up his tunic sleeve on that side. He feels very nervous, but his face is carefully crafted to be relaxed and optimistic.]

Hello friends.

I was wondering about the medical technology here when it comes to ... prosthetics. [The word is new to him, so he isn't sure about the pronunciation.] Back home, I was building artificial arms and hands out of wood and metal. I was perfecting a cross bow attachment too. When I arrived here, I had my basic pseudo-hand with me.

[He holds up the prosthetic in question. It's made of polished wood and rather well crafted, but it also doesn't allow him to grip or hold things. It's mostly to put the humans who live in Hightown at ease as he shops at the market.]

The advancements here, though. They are so incredible. There has to be some advancements in this area too - after all I doubt I'm the first person to find themselves disarmed all of the sudden. [That's a terrible joke, but this topic is so uncomfortable for him he can't help but make it.]

Is there anything that you can tell me?

Let me know if you ever need winding. I have at least one hand left to do it with.

Oh, ah well naturally. Perhaps, er, after we have dinner.

[Where he would probably still act like a complete idiot. Sigh.]

Are you asking me to dinner then?

[.... oh well gracious.]

Ah! Yes! ... if it is all right with you that I cannot eat?

As long as it's not awkward for you, I'd love that.

Oh no, I've had far too much time to get used to it, honestly.

Then let's do that. Is there a time that will be good for you?

Well it will have to be after my party ... oh! We are throwing a party to celebrate that I am a Captain now.

[Puffing up that small little chest.] You are, of course, invited.

I like parties. Parties are fun.

GOOD, for Lumiere throws the best parties in all of ... well apparently anywhere, now.

I'm sure you could throw one just fine yourself.

Oh heavens no. My parties would put everyone to sleep - I do so enjoy classical music, after all.

There is something to be said for a quiet evening with good company.

Too true and ... well. It really depends on the company, does it not?

I think I would have a good time in your company.

...well then we will make it happen!

[Tee hee hee.]

Hopefully soon?

Oh yes, Very Soon.

[He is going to start his list right away.]

Excellent. Tell me what time you are available and I'll be there.

Let me think, let me think .... well any time in the later afternoon? I could serve a half-way decent tea.

Oh, I love tea.

Then you shall have the Very Best.
