MARSIVA - Hospitality Deck: Arrival Video

[ Waking up in a foreign place was extremely unpleasant. Krolia had assumed she was still in the hospital, by her son's side after their fierce battle-- she soon discovered she was wrong. She wasn't alone: There is a human male, with a metal arm (That wasn't Shiro, unfortunately), but she hadn't approached him quite yet. She awoke with a start, immediately going for her luxite blade only to find she had been disarmed, her clothing clean and repaired from previous encounters. She turns her attention to the camera. ]

I'm not used to this sort of hospitality while being imprisoned. [ A beat. ] Your attempt to placate me is noted, but I will not cooperate.

[ That is to say, she will not cooperate depending on what they are asking of her. If it had to do with her son? She will do everything to make sure he was safe. ]

MARSIVA - Hospitality Deck: B o r e d

[ Twenty-four vargas and she was steadily working through all of her meditation efforts. She has attempted training, exploring (as much as she could), and is doing her best to not pace a hole through the floor. Nothing was easing her mind of the situation. She was trapped on a ship in deep space with no idea where in deep space she was. Krolia was disciplined! She could handle being trapped, she could handle being housed in a single area, but the silence from her captors was having her start to question their intentions. ]

SS TWIN ROSES-- Bridge

[ It felt like blinking. One moment she was looking at kicking over a bed on the Hospitality deck for fun, the next she was on the bridge of an entirely new ship. Her stomach twisted, immediately dropping in a defensive stance when she finally had her wits about her. After a moment, she has the sound mind to realize that going on the defensive early on may not be the best.

She relaxes her stance, hands quickly put into a resting position behind her back. She would play their game, so let them try and catch her off guard. ]

I apologize for the sudden entrance. [ Not that she could help it. She moves to pull confetti out of her hair. ] Krolia, reporting for duty.

Fleet Wide Network-- Video

Good evening.

[ She sits with her hands folded, looking into the camera with a stern expression. Her eyes narrow slightly, but she appears relaxed in her new cabin. She has questions but-- she would let people come to her. ]

I am curious about what the point of our arrival. What goal is in mind and what information is anyone willing to share?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Vash had heard they had a new member on the ship. As one of the two co-captain (for now as he has recently just submitted paperwork to step down to first mate) he felt it was his duty to make sure they were settling in well.

Vash is a tall man just shy of six feet. In a long red leather duster jacket and his blond hair styled up like an upside down broom he probably doesn't come off as the quiet and shy type. Especially paired with the huge, friendly grin he always wears. If the fact that she's purple looking bothers him he doesn't show it. (Spoilers: It doesn't bother him in the slightest.) Quickly offering out a hand in greeting.] Hello! Welcome aboard! I'm Vash! One of the ship's co-captains! I hope you're settling in alright.

[ She isn't surprised that she's taller than most of the humans on board. She stands at least six-feet-six-inches. She takes his hand as he offered it in a friendly gesture, and she'd like to make sure to look as non-threatening as possible at this point. ]

Captain. It's good to meet you. I'll be in charge of your armory.

Ah! Great news! I mean, we haven't needed weapons in awhile and I'm hoping it will stay that way, but still! Great news! [Being observant Krolia will probably notice that Vash openly carries two pistols on either hip. One silver looking one that looks like it's been pulled right out of an old western movie. Six old fashion Earth looking bullets in the chamber. Where the other is a sleek black looking weapon that will fire a laser beam.]

Has someone already given you the tour? Found your room alright? Oh! Have you tried out the network yet? There could be someone you know here in the fleet.

[ He's a very enthusiastic individual -- that'll take some time to get used to despite the time she spent with the Paladins. She is very curious about the older looking pistol at his side. She had only heard about such things in movies as humans moved away from gunpowder projectiles. ]

I've not had a tour yet. That would be appreciated.

Very well! [Vash holds out an elbow for her to take if she wishes. He's actually guessing she has no idea why he's doing this, but that was part of the fun of this place. Figuring out the different customs of the different worlds.]

I can start with the best and most important room! The kitchen!

The kitchen.

[ Yes food was important but are you sure that's the most important room? She isn't sure she believes that. ]

Of course. Lead the way.

[Vash shrugs when she doesn't take his arm as he's fine with her not taking it.] This way! To the kitchen!

[Vash will point out a couple things on their way to the kitchen.] And this is the kitchen! This is where you can find water. This is where we keep the slop that they try to pass on as food, but this! This is mine! [He pats a weird looking contraption.] It makes donuts whenever I want! So long as I have the special powder for it! Which I do! It is the best thing on this ship!

What is a donut?

[ She may regret this. ]

WHAT!? Why do so many people say that!? HOW can so many people say that!? How have you lived so long without having a donut before now!?

[While Vash goes on this rant he starts turning the machine on. It whirls to life with a loud noise.]

While I was introduced to many foods during my time on Earth, I do not recall donuts being one of them. I'm sorry?

[ Did she upset him? Was the donut just that delicious? Was Tex anti-donut? Now she has so many questions about a food she's never heard of. ]

You've even been to Earth and you haven't had one?! How is that even possible?! That's so horrible!

[He moves about the kitchen quickly. Taking out some powder and pouring it into the machine.] We need to fix this right away?

[ She looks him over for a moment, then gestures to herself. ]

I am unsure if your Earth has encountered aliens, but my Earth had not at that point. It would have been unwise to try and interact with the general population.

[ Clearly he was adamant to have her try a donut, so she might as well just simply allow it. ]

Well, I haven't actually been to Earth myself, but I've never met someone from Earth who hasn't had a donut before!

You didn't hide out the whole time you were on Earth, did you? Did you make nay friends who could help you out?

[The machine whirls and churns as it works. It will be a couple minutes before it's ready.]

Not the whole time, but never to the city. The man who found my ship lived in a remote area of the desert. It made keeping hidden easier.

[ And she isn't going to elaborate more on that. She's not prepared to open up to a stranger about the man she fell in love with. So, time to return to the donut topic. ]

What is so special about these donuts?

Then he did you a disservice not getting you a donut! And what's so special? They're just the most tasty and most wonderful treat in this world!

I suppose I will be finding out how they taste soon, correct?

[ Totally avoiding the comment about her husband. Focus on the donuts. ]

[He really needs to think before he speaks sometimes, but he's really bad at it when donuts are involved!]

Yes! [And with great timing the machine makes a loud, shrill buzzing noise to say it's done. He gives a happy cry of excitement and opens the machine up to take out a freshly made donut. Already refilling it to make another one. He sometimes hated that it could only make one at a time, but it was better than nothing.

He puts the first one on a plate and presents it to Krolia. It's just a simple plain donut with a hint of honey to it.] Here you are! I'd say please enjoy but I know you'll love it!
