Who: Maggie Rhee and YOU
Broadcast: video!
Action: Aboard the S.S. Blameless
When: Now!
[It had taken Maggie the short time aboard the Marsiva to collect herself. She hadn't even messaged anyone she remembered until now. It had been a strange transition waking up aboard the strange yet familiar ship, only to realize this had been home once too. Maggie had struggled back home, but now she felt her grief settling into a cold anger. She could channel that into something productive if she was to be stuck here in the fleet again.
Finally addressing the fleet, Maggie's features look calm, compared to the confusion of most arrivals.]
I'm assuming this place hasn't changed any? New arrival gets sent to their new ship from the Marsiva and all that. Though I'm curious what the Atroma find so fascinating about me this time around.
[She had become a leader, a force of nature in human flesh. She might still grieve her losses and feel hesitant to reach out to a new crew but she would help them get by the same as she'd done when she'd been on the Goldstone.]
Private - Carl Grimes
[Maggie has her hands folded under her chin, trying to think of what to even say to Carl. She could start with questions - how long was she gone? When had Enid left? She had absolutely skimmed their ship's rosters for them, not seeing Enid's name listed anywhere. She no longer saw Rick or Daryl's names either which meant Carl had been here alone.]
Are you on the Red Fish right now? I want to see you.
[If only to give him a hug and maybe make sure he'd been taking acceptable care of his eye and doing his physical therapy. Rick and Michonne weren't here to take care of him so it fell to her, just as it would if their roles as parents were reversed.]
Action;
[Upon arriving, Maggie deftly brushes the confetti out of her hair and ignores the Atroma's usual pomp and circumstance. She had half a mind to make her way to her new lab, but instead she takes her time exploring with her celebratory chocolate goo in hand. She had never been on the Blameless before now.]
Hello?
[Say hello to your new crewmate, Blameless?]

Once a Goldstone, always a Goldstone!!
[HE'LL STEAL YOU BACK. Obviously, he's more than ready for her to turn back to the darkside.]
... Sorry they dragged you here again, though. I bet you got a lot to do at home.
[He sure did...]
video.
Maybe I'll just have to put in a transfer then. I'd hate to leave my Captain in a lurch.
[This right here is what she would have missed, if she'd remembered this place. His childlike behavior, the infectious way he made her feel hope again. He was so important to her that she was glad to have that part of her life back. It made her miss Glenn more than ever.]
I do, but I'm not sorry. This'll pass the time just fine.
[The war might even feel far away, over time.]
video.
Good! I like helping people pass the time. And I'm just happy you missed all the bad stuff!
[Seriously, Maggie, the last few months have been a shitshow.]
video.
[Or any of them really. Like why Takeshi suddenly became older and why he couldn't have just been growing up from the start. At least now he was catching up.]
video.
Your people needed you, too, right? Maybe that's why!
I just wish I knew how this whole... coming and going thing worked... It's always so annoying to wake up here and there and everywhere.
video.
[She gives him a warm smile, meaning him. If he wanted her around she'd be happy to be there.]
Coming and going I'm still wrapping my head around but I can't imagine suddenly growing up in a short space of time. That'd be weird for me, I think. Was it weird for you?
[Look at him! He's almost all grown up too. A few more years and some inches and she doesn't doubt he'd be as tall as Carl.]
Re: video.
[So very annoying, though!]
The first time I ever woke up in a weird place, I was in a weird apartment and I had to fight monsters.
video.
[Well at least they sort of have that in common? Shitty monster things trying to kill them. She can't imagine tiny toddler-sized Takeshi being able to handle monsters,
but she had learned not to underestimate him.]
video.
But there were too many kinds to keep track of. Some of 'em were like statues, and some had long, weird necks and claws, and some had no eyes but big ol' teeth, and they wanted to eat you head-first...! You never knew what you'd see on your next mission, so it was pretty scary.
video.
[She smiles warmly, feeling glad but also nervous at sharing about their home with someone. Takeshi wasn't just 'someone' to her, though. If she could have had her baby and watched it grow, she would want a child like him.]
video.
How many of 'em are there?
video.
video.
I don't think knives would work on mine, though. They're really... big, sometimes.
video.
When there's just one or two they're more likely to notice you. Not that a herd wouldn't but one or two are easier to kill.
