Who: Escha Malier & YOU!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Yes!
When: Marsiva: backdated to 3/1 and 3/2 before shuffle; Wonderduck: anytime 3/2 and after!

1. The Marsiva (pre-shuffle)
[ The video feed opens on the top of someone's head - red-pink hair and a little white hat, puffball tail-holders to either side. There's some wiggling, and eventually her face comes into view, bright green eyes currently red-rimmed. Someone just finished crying, looks like...

She takes a deep breath, clears her throat, and puts on a smile - as bright as she can manage! ]

U-Um, hello? Is someone seeing this? I'm a little confused about some things... Before here, I was somewhere else with, um, cell phones? But this doesn't look like the same thing. Oh, but anyway, can someone... tell me where I am? Please? [ A pause, and her voice gets a little bit quieter, a little bit shakier. ] I-I've never been anywhere like this, and it's really quiet here, a-and...

[ ... She shakes her head sharply, puts that smile back on. ]

Right. My name is Escha Malier, by the way.


2. The Wonderduck (post-shuffle)
[ At least she wasn't stuck on the Marsiva for too long! Suddenly, she appears on the Wonderduck! ]

Waah--!! Huh??

[ She looks up as confetti flutters all around her, plopping into her hair. And her face. She shakes it off, blinks wide-eyed at the pudding in front of her... and teeentatively reaches over to pick it up. ]

Umm... Thank you! Who... whoever did that? Um.

[ She blinks at the confetti on the floor, then at the pudding in her hands, at the confetti once more... And then, with a shrug and a small smile, you bet she's digging in. Pudding is sweet and delicious after all~

She starts walking down the hallway, looking for any signs of anyone else around. If she's supposed to be on this ship and part of this crew, she definitely wants to meet everyone! Wherever your character is, unless it's their own private room with the door closed, she's bound to run into them eventually~ ]

[oh noooooo a sad girl! must fix!

have a cheery face and a waving hand.]

Hello, hello! Welcome to the fleet! You'll be okay, don't worry about a thing!

[appletart]

[ Escha is a bit thrown off by the cheeriness at first, but honestly, it's infectious. And very appreciated. So little by little, her own smile becomes a little less forced! And she waves a hand in return. ]

Hello! Um... Thanks for the welcome! And I'll try not to worry. I'm sorry, everything's just so different.

[willynilly]

Oooh, I get you! I totally do! When I first got here, I didn't know what to do with myself! I love space, but I'd never been there before...

Everyone's really nice, though. Well, mostly! So if you ever need anything, you can just ask!

[appletart]

[ Nod nod! ]

Yes, exactly! I'd never been in space until now either! We don't even have ships like these in my world, just airships. Nothing goes higher than that.

I'm glad people are nice here. That does make me feel better. Thank you.

[willynilly]

I'm happy to hear that. It's important for us to be welcoming, because the people who put us here sure as heck don't bother!

[Confetti and pudding to make up for being abducted and dragged through space? Yeah, no thanks!]

Oh, I'm Uraraka Ochako, by the way! Nice to meet you.

[appletart]

That's not nice! [ Beat. ] But it's also not nice of them to put us here in the first place, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Nice to meet you too! [ She bows a little! Sort of - as well as one can manage while sitting down and holding a communicator in one hand. ] And thanks again for cheering me up. Have you been here long?

[willynilly]

Ummm... it's been a while now, yeah! Let's see...

[It was summer, and then she had a birthday, and another, and-]

Waahhh!! It's been a year and a half already!? No way!

[appletart]

[ !!! ]

Waaahh!! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I made you think about it!! B-but, wow, that is kind of a while...

[willynilly]

It's okay! It just kinda startled me! Geez... I guess it's easy to lose track of time when you're never really in the same place? The seasons on the planets we visit are usually all wacky and out of sync, so I kinda forget a lot.

[appletart]

Oh, I see what you mean. Even when I traveled around the world - um, my world - I would completely lose track of time. I bet it's even worse out here!

You know, I'm still a little nervous about everything, but I have to admit, seeing a lot of different planets does sound really exciting!

[willynilly]

That's the best part about it, actually! So yeah, I understand that feeling...

It's too bad you missed the last few places we stopped! There was a world where the snow was actually candy.

[appletart]

[ Her eyes go wide. ]

Oh my gosh, snow?! And it was actually candy? No way! That sounds amazing!!

[willynilly]

It was! I saved a bunch, it makes amaaaazing snowcones. You can try some if you want!

[appletart]

[ !!!! ]

I would love to try some!! Once I get put on another ship, can I come find you then?

[willynilly]

Yeah, that'd be great! I could bring it to your new ship, or- oh! If you want to learn how to make it, I can show you!

i thought i tagged this wtf!!

[appletart]

Yes! Learning how to make it would be so cool!

[ Thanks, friend - she has completely forgotten about being alone on a huge ship in space. ♥ She's positively beaming. ]

That's so nice of you to offer... I can't wait! I'll think of something to make for you, too! -- Um, well, when I'm in a position to get ingredients and stuff, I mean. But, yes!

rude!!!

[willynilly]

[yay! victory. Ochako feels properly successful, now.]

There's lots of places that we visit where you can get some, so don't worry! And a lot of ingredients are available on the ships- it's all about figuring out how to use them so they taste right and don't have too weird a texture.
