Who: Lizzie and you!
Broadcast: Open completely.
Action: On the SS Bluefish.
When: Now. c:

[ The good thing of about being young and curious is that, despite being from before electronics, once she's figured out the communicator, Lizzie pretty much has it down. So, thankfully, no one gets stuck staring at an eyeball on the network today. Nope, it's just Lizzie in a drab uniform instead of her usual pink and frilly finery and yet still looking like sunshine glorified as usual. For a new arrival, she's in a strangely good mood. ]

I beg pardon that it took me this long to introduce myself! This place has simply been such a change... I do hope everyone can forgive my rudeness.

[ Right, right. composing herself like the lady she is. ]

My name is Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford, daughter of the leader of the British Knights!

Ah, of course, introducing myself isn't the only reason I'm doing this. You see...It seems I've found myself stuck wearing gentleman's trousers. It's quite unbecoming for a lady... I was hoping someone would be able to assist me in finding more proper clothing. These trousers aren't cute or ladylike at all... What would Ciel say if he saw this, oh my...

And oh, can you believe that we're truly in space? What a dream... If only I could walk among the stars with my darling fiance...

You could try talking to Sansa Stark. She might be able to help you in that department. Or perhaps Biffy, Lyall, or Akledama. Any of them would be helpful in the fashion department, I should think.

[ seeing someone talking through the little box is...odd. lizzie almost wants to shake it to see if a tiny person would fall out. ]

I'm afraid I don't recognize any of those names... Is there a way I could find them?

_{[ You could try, Lizzie, but you'd probably only give Kirk motion
sickness from the camera movements. ]}

Certainly. You might feel more comfortable with Sansa first, I think. Have you learned how to work this device at all? Besides obviously sending out a message, but other forms of communication?

[Thanks to his time on Riverview's moon, Ciel has already taken to the communicators just fine. And what does he find? His 'fiance.'

And she's fretting over her state of dress. It's enough to make him smile just a little, and shake his head, as he turns his own and and sends over a reply.]

'Darling' is a bit much, I'm sure. [Anyone who knows him wouldn't call him darling. Except Lizzie.] You look perfectly fine, Lizzie, but I'm sure we can find something for you.

Ciel...!

Oh, Ciel, you musn't look! I look awful, you're just being polite.

[ how does she turn this thing off??? ]

[Just a soft chuckle. Even if that awful uniform, it's good to see her after so long.]

Don't be silly, Lizzie. How could you ever look awful? And besides, I've seen any number of ladies in trousers of late, and I can't imagine you ever look worse than they might have.

You can be so sweet sometimes, Ciel.

[ which is...ACTUALLY KIND OF SURPRISING? ]

But surely it must be only temporary? To wear something so impractical all day...

Sometimes.

[See what happens when he's not around his demon- er, butler, for a year? All those poor habits, pushing people away, it just kind of fades away...]

It wasn't there. If we find someone who will make you dresses though, I'll be sure to compensate them. It's important that you're comfortable.

[ Dorian had, of course, seen the message, but given that it had come from his own ship, he decided to make it a bit more personal and find the little girl. He knows more intimately than most the disservice of not having access to one's own wardrobe. While he doesn't have much that would fit her, he can at least offer her a small collection of scarves he's fine to part with. When he manages to locate her, he has a few brightly-colored and fashionable scarves draped over his arm. Trailing at his heels is an equally handsome boy. ]

My dear, nothing is more abhorrent than the rags they foist upon us. Whilst I don't have access to what you are looking for, these will at least distract until you get what you seek.

[ Though she'd asked for help, Lizzie definitely hadn't expected anyone to be bringing her something so quickly. She perks right up when she sees the scarves, pressing her hands together in delight as she admires them. ]

Oh, thank you, sir! They're so lovely! I know it's silly, but my fiance is here, and to think of him seeing me like this...

[ Of course, she's properly distracted quickly enough by the dog at his feet. ]

What a darling boy! Does he have a name?

[ The perks of sharing a ship is that help can come quickly. ]

It's no trouble, I assure you. The Atroma do enjoy putting us into situations that make us uncomfortable. Their wardrobe choices are perhaps the most abhorrent.

[ The pup's tail thwaps excitedly, inching closer to her when he's given the okay, loving the attention. They were still working on manners, it seemed. ]

His name is Da'Fen. I believe it is Elven for 'little wolf'.

[On a ship with small numbers like their own, it's easy to miss people moving around if they aren't particularly noisy about it. The video message however is much more obvious. Fortunately Thor had checked it not long ago, then looked at the Blue Fish's own manifest. That prompts him to get out of the engine room where he was checking things over and go find the girl in person.

It doesn't take long checking the place before he finds Lizzie. The first she'll see of him is Thor poking his head around the corner of the door, before he comes in properly.]

Hello! I saw your message and realised you're on our ship. I am sorry for the welcome so far - it's been a strange time.
