[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

[aspearing]

Malakim? [ Is... that another term for them...? ]

Lady Edna, is that what you and your brother are normally called?

[brothersboots]

[Edna is showing her age.]

Yes. I mean, it's just what we're called anyway. I don't know that other word you used.

[aspearing]

I see... [ She won't talk about the future - she's not entirely sure that she should. ]

There's someone else here who can see both you and your brother. I'm sure that you'll meet him soon.

[brothersboots]

The weirdo with the feathers in his ears. I met him already.

He said he had a pact with another malak but she's not here.

[aspearing]

I believe that you speak of Lady Lailah. It's someone that you'll be able to meet.

[ Calling Sorey a weirdo, though... Well, it's true that he can be a little odd at times. ]

[brothersboots]

Oh, is this Lailah here? Will I meet her on these strange metal ships?

[Did Sorey lie to her?]

Who are you?

[She doesn't like repeating herself much, but this human's been rather useful and seems like she doesn't think she's better than malakhim, so she'll keep her for now.]

[aspearing]

She isn't. Though, I've heard she was at one time.

[ Lady Edna has known her for that long? Alisha had no idea that they had a history with one another. ]

My name is Alisha. Lady Lailah is a friend of mine, as well.

[brothersboots]

Oh.

[Edna doesn't know her. She just wants to meet the weirdo's pact-holder, okay?]

So, you know the other weirdos too then? Does that wind malak always run around half-naked?

[aspearing]

Do you mean Lord Zavied? It does seem that way.

Have you met Lord Mikleo, as well?

[brothersboots]

Is that his name?

[She didn't exactly ask, honestly.]

Mikleo... that's the water malak with all the hair, right? He called Eizen for me.

[aspearing]

That's right. He likely wanted to do what he could to look out for you.

[brothersboots]

I don't need a protector.

[She is able to watch herself. She so can.]

But, I guess he's not so bad. Did you grow up with him and the other human?

[aspearing]

That's true. You're rather capable, Lady Edna.

... No. Compared to Lord Mikleo and Sorey's history together, we've only just met.

[brothersboots]

Oh.

[She looks at Alisha with a curious expression.]

Is it true that they grew up around a bunch of malakhim and that's why he has such a big domain now?

[aspearing]

Yes, it is. When he let me stay with him, it was in a village full of malakim. However, at the time- I was unable to see or hear them. It's thanks to Sorey that that's changed.

[brothersboots]

[Edna taps the floor with her heavy boot in thought.]

So, you spent a lot of time around malakhim and the weird human and now you can see us. Could you hear them even if you couldn't see them?

[aspearing]

... No. In fact, I used to believe that malakim were fairy tales. For that - |I apologize.
