Who: Kravitz and YOU!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: On the SS Bloodsport!
When: After the last shuffle!

1) [ action -- SS Bloodsport ]
[ Hello, Bloodsport, you have a new crew member! He's... very confused, wondering why he keeps getting yanked around -- honestly, it's kind of rude. And definitely not the kind of rude that can be made up for with pudding and confetti. Oh well.

He brushes the colorful bits of paper off of the sleeves of his suit coat, straightens his tie, and... starts walking. There's got to be a reason he's just suddenly appeared in this place, right? ]

Hello? ... Is there anyone actually here?

[ Because geez, it's quiet - and not the kind of quiet he likes. ]



2) [ video ]
[ So far, Kravitz's entire experience here has been 1) wake up in a giant spaceship. 2) attempt to regain bearings. 3) almost immediately end up whisked away onto some other ship with a *Pop!* and some confetti. 4) try the pudding. ... It's mediocre at best.

So when he finds this... very complicated Stone of Farspeech... and sees others using it to talk, of course he's going to give it a try. He turns it on, angles the camera well enough to get himself in-frame, and clears his throat. ]

-- Right. Well. I've pretty much gathered the short of what this all is, so beyond that, I have to ask: how cut-off are we? Because there are several people that I really should call right now, and I have a feeling the answer is going to be, "That's impossible". So... how impossible?

[ He's been stuck alone and cut-off from everyone and everything before. This situation is, arguably, better than that... but that doesn't mean he has to like it. ]

No, I don't feel anything at all. It's almost like she has absolutely no reach here - which shouldn't be possible, but I see that's sort of a recurring theme around here.

[ Which is aggravating. And he's gonna hold onto it being aggravating because if he dwells on it too much, he might actually get worried about it, and what good would that do right this second? Sigh. ... His turn to be sympathetic, though, and his tone softens. ]

I'm sorry you're missing people, too. It's... not a great feeling.

[monolike]

I'm okay. It's worse- [Well. No, it wouldn't do well to start in on that, he hardly knows the guy.] -it's um, it must be worse for you. I can at least still tell the people I'm connected to are safe.

I'm sure your deity is safe though! Or back home, at the very least.

[deathcouture]

Oh, yes, I'm sure she is, too. If anything, I should probably be more worried that I'm missing any calls from her... Might land me in some trouble when I do get back.

[ Better to joke than to worry, right? ]

Thanks for taking the time to answer me. This place is... defiant of most things that make sense to me, so far. So the help is appreciated. My name's Kravitz. Yours?

[monolike]

I'm Sorey; it's good to meet you Kravitz.

[Still can't help but feel badly for the guy. He's probably brushing off how worried he is.] If it makes you feel any better, the learning curve here isn't too steep. And everybody is more than ready to lend a hand...we're all kind of stuck in this situation together.

[deathcouture]

[ yeah maybe he is a little but shhh ]

That's good to hear. Might need all the help I can get, seeing as I've never been in, um, space before. Definitely not a thing where I come from.

[ ... Mostly. But that's a longer story. ]

[monolike]

Oh me either! Back home we didn't even know that stars were places you could go. [The learning curve is practically concave] But you get used to it eventually...though sometimes I'll still catch myself staring out the windows for too long. It's easier to just think of it as ocean, sometimes, and that land is just out of sight. Helps to cope with the scale.
