[Action] Complaint #5, Revenge of the Normin

[brothersboots]

Who: Edna and you!
Broadcast: No
Action: The Huntress, The Red Fish, the Iskaulit, and the Yadrolla System
When: The Month of May

The Huntress

[To those that live on the Huntress, you either see the seraph or you don't. Hearing them, however, is something that everyone does. And Edna, well, sometimes you feel her presence too. Since she can make herself known, obnoxiously, when she wants.

However, if one looks in her bedroom, it looks untouched. As does her classroom that she's spent a while putting together once the Atroma decided to gift it to her. Looking closer, there are tiny, bare feet under the desk and the sound of some smothered sniffling. If you're quiet, you might even hear a small, scared voice call out.]

Eizen? Where are you?

[Yes, folks, Edna's been tinified. Aren't you lucky?]

The Red Fish

[After some finagling, Edna has found her way onto the Red Fish from the Huntress and she's a little distressed. While the other ship was certainly not her home, it had plenty of plant life and seraph that made it feel sort of home-like.

The Red Fish, however, has the oppressive feeling of malevolence that she's not at all okay with. But she was told her brother is here somewhere. Even if the humans here don't have any resonance to see her, maybe they'll be able to hear her and know who Eizen is.

She goes over to the nearest person and yanks on their clothes to get their attention.]

Hey, have you seen Eizen?

Iskaulit

[Mab's Sceptre is were she spends a great deal of her time. It feels like her and Eizen. There are some other seraph's artes signatures as well, but that just adds to the relaxed feeling it gives her. They aren't alone, which is great. Being alone is awful.

Besides there are funny lizards of many colors (one of them is missing a tail) and fuzzy slugs that make her feel good when she touches them. There's a stream and plants and it's nice. All that's missing is the feel of a real sun. If she ignores the windows that look out into the vast nothingness.

After some time at the mountain, she decides to explore some more. It's a lot bigger than Rayfalke, or maybe it just feels that way. There's so much to look at.

She follows her nose to what looks like a human place that has sweets and food. The sign says 'The Melting Pot' but she doesn't see a pot anywhere in sight. But things sure do smell good.]

What's that?

Wildcard

[If you want to do things with the tiny seraph on the new system, let me know and I can write up a prompt for you.]

Comments

[brothersboots]

[Edna turns and frowns at the sight of another person who knows her name.]

Who are you?

[Better to start small and make others talk first.]

[humene]

[Eleanor smiles, as she gets down on one knee to make eye contact with Edna.]

[As rough as Edna can be around the edges, she's very sweet as a kid. She'd even call her cute, if she wasn't convinced that the moment this glitch passed Edna would take revenge.]

My name is Eleanor. I'm a friend of Eizen's. He's told me a lot about you.

[brothersboots]

[Edna is small and precious, it's true. Her brother tells her that all the time. And she's the cutest sister to exist.]

Well, he didn't tell me anything about you, but a lot of people here seem to know him and they say they know me too. I know this isn't Desolation, so that explains some strange things.

[humene]

I know this place might seem scary and strange, but there are good people here with you.

[This is...difficult. Eleanor isn't sure just how much Edna knows, or where to proceed from here. The best bet would be to take her to her brother, but if enough people have approached her already, they've probably already suggested that.]

What have you been told? About where we are.

[brothersboots]

Yes? Everyone keeps trying to tell me all about this place. One after the other. I'm young and short, not dumb.

[Oh, were you expecting totally sweet?]

I just want my stupid brother. And cake.

[humene]

Well, I'm not sure where your brother is right now. I'd be happy to go get cake with you, if you'd like. And after, we can look for him together.

[brothersboots]

Are you paying?

[She knows about money. She knows that humans need it. And they get things with it.]

[humene]

[Eleanor smiles. It's nice to see Edna so cute and innocent.]

Of course. I wouldn't ask you if I wasn't going to offer to pay.

[brothersboots]

[She was once not as cynical or quite so bratty, it's true. But, you know, she's not well over two millennia right now.]

There are good smelling cakes at the place with the weird plaque by the door.

[humene]

Let's go there, now, then. What kind of cake would you like?

[brothersboots]

[Edna's eyes narrow at Eleanor as if she's got a second head growing out of her neck.]

Chocolate. And the red kind.

[humene]

Red velvet? That's a good choice.

[brothersboots]

[Edna doesn't really need Eleanor's approval, but she is okay with having it as well. She pushes past the human with the authority of someone who knows exactly where she's going, despite the fact that her parasol is trailing behind her like a forlorn puppy.]

So, how do you know Eizen? From here or back home?
