Missing Home
Who: open to all
Broadcast: no
Action: Iskaulit
When: Jan 12 or whenever...time doesn't matter
Veronica has been rather absent this holiday season. While she's made an appearance at the festivities, she hasn't really seemed all there, and has left early from most of them without talking much. For a girl whose life has changed so much so fast, even before the Fleet, one might think it would be easy for her to roll with the punches, but eventually, Veronica tires out, and she's hit that point.
She misses home. She's lonely. Sure, she has Lance here, but much of his time is dedicated to Keith and his team, and Veronica isn't about to take that away from him. He's happy. She isn't going to get in the way of that. While she's befriended people here, it just isn't the same, and she finds herself growing homesick and depressed.
She's spending a lot of time these days just sitting by the bay windows of the Iskaulit, looking out into the deep abyss of space. It's beautiful, and she really does love it, but...it's so cold and isolating. It makes her think of everything that she's lost, all the people who have died for a war that they were never even meant to be a part of... Veronica hugs her knees to her chest and just watches.

I HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH SIGNS OF DISTRESS IN PEOPLE. YOU SEEMED LOST IN YOUR THOUGHTS. [Poppy likes the petting and bats at her hand when it stops all of the sudden.] YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AFRAID. I'M ONLY THE DEATH OF ONE PLANET.

She's slightly embarrassed at him catching onto her slightly panicked reaction, and smiles weakly.]
Sorry. I've never seen anyone like you before. I didn't mean to offend.

I AM USED TO IT. USUALLY I AM NOT MEANT TO BE SEEN AT ALL. HERE, I CAN GET USED TO REALLY TALKING TO PEOPLE AND ENJOYING THE CONVERSATIONS THAT ENSUE.

I suppose that's preferable to being invisible.

INDEED. IT ALSO LETS ME SEE JUST HOW MANY DIFFERENT IMAGES OF MY KIND ARE UNIVERSAL. I RARELY GET TO MEET MANY LIKE MYSELF.

So...you're...Death, right? But you're stuck here just like the rest of us.
