001 || video & action

[pirasea]

Who: Isabela and everyone ever (or anyone who wants to talk to her, at least)
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress, or Marsiva if you can catch her in the brief time before she's assigned her ship.
When: In the hours pre-shuffle and just post-shuffle

[When Isabela wakes up the first thing she does is check for daggers. Which are, of course, absent. She checks both her surroundings and her person.]

Shit.

[Unsurprisingly voicing her frustration doesn't help. There doesn't even seem to be anything she can use as a makeshift weapon. Cautiously, she bends down to retrieve a rather magnificent hat that seems to have fallen off while she was still out. She feels around in that too. Just in case. Any concealed weapons it might have held at one time are no longer there, however.

Is it even possible for her to look any more pissed off? Evidently so.]

Comments

[video, preshuffle?]

[moonbeams]

[Usagi watches for a moment, lips pursed in concern.]

Did you wake up missing something? [Usagi had heard, at this point, of people waking up with belongings missing. She had been lucky enough to keep everything critical of hers, but she can imagine how frustrating it would be for others who find their stuff gone.]

[video, preshuffle!]

[pirasea]

A few somethings, I'm afraid.

[It's very frustrating, but there's not much she can do about it for the moment.]

[moonbeams]

Humm... are you sure they're not with you? I think sometimes people do wake up with missing things though... [A frown.] At least it's pretty safe here so if it was weapons....

[pirasea]

Very sure. It's not exactly safe if I don't have something to defend myself with, is it?

[moonbeams]

[She opens her mouth to say that she doesn't have anything like that either, but stops herself as she reaches a hand up to cover the compact at her chest. Well, that would be a lie.]

I guess... But if you're worried you can stay with someone else! I'll even come get you to show you around if you want to feel safe! [She holds her fingers up in a V, grinning] Usagi to the rescue!

[pirasea]

[Even without her weapons Isabela doesn't exactly consider herself defenceless, but she's still relatively clueless even with the things she's learned so far. She's hardly going to turn down an offer that will allow her find out more.]

I feel safer already.

[moonbeams]

Hehe, give me just a bit, I'll come find you! I think I know where you are anyway. [A pause. At least she thinks so, anyway. It'll be an adventure.]

I'm Usagi by the way! You can count on me.

[pirasea]

[Between Fenris and Ray Isabela is reasonably sure she'll be safe where she is until Usagi manages to find her, so she's happy enough to just relax until she does turn up.]

Isabela. I'll try not to get into trouble before then.

[moonbeams]

[It doesn't take Usagi TOO long to get back where Isabela is, at least. Once she arrives she waves immediately.]

Hehe, found you! [She beams, proud that a) she didn't get lost and b) she's actually getting to help someone.] Have you looked out of the windows yet? It's kind of amazing!

[pirasea]

[Isabela returns the smile, though perhaps not with quite so much vigour as Usagi.]

I have. A rather handsome gentleman was kind enough to show me earlier, but if you'd like to show me again we did get distracted.

[moonbeams]

Hee, okay! [She doesn't mind showing her, at the very least. Without so much as a thought, Usagi closes the distance between her and Isabela and catches her hands into her own, gleefully.]

If there's anything else I can show you, I'd be happy to, too!

[pirasea]

[Isabela takes her hands in return, allowing herself to be led wherever Usagi takes her.]

Anything you think would be useful would be wonderful. I'm afraid my last guide didn't show me much outside his sleeping quarters.

[moonbeams]

[Usagi slows down, then looks back at Isabela with a rather confused expression.]

Why would he want to show you that? It's all small and cramped... [And she jumps to a conclusion. Good job Usagi.] WAH! What if he was some kind of pervert?!

[pirasea]

[Oh, she is far too oblivious for her own good. Which obviously means Isabela is instantly endeared to her.]

My dear, if he wasn't I'd have been terribly disappointed.

[moonbeams]

[Disappointed? It's almost possible to watch the gears turning in her head before her cheeks redden.]

T-that's not a very good "tour" at all! [She puffs out her cheeks in exasperation, her hands releasing Isabela's own to put her hands on her hips.]

He didn't hurt you did he?! [Isabela doesn't LOOK injured but well, Usagi feels compelled to ask. For the time being, she's forgotten that she was supposed to be leading Isabela on a tour herself.]

[pirasea]

[She's almost reminded of Merrill as the pieces slowly fall into place and Usagi realises what she means.]

Oh, no. Quite the opposite. In fact, if you ever happen to come across a Ray Kowalski I'd thoroughly recommend him.

[moonbeams]

[The color in her cheeks returns full force as she waves her hands in front of her. NO THANK YOU, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE RECOMMENDATION.]

EH!? Aahahaha, It's okay! [She chirps, seemingly recovered from her sudden embarrassment.] I have a boyfriend! [fiancee, at this point.]

[She will remember the name though, And it'll be hilarious when she finally does meet him.]

[pirasea]

Oh, do you? How lovely. I hope he's just as talented.

ISABELA......

[moonbeams]

[if Usagi had been blushing before, it was nothing in comparison to her face now. Oh god. It's probably a relief that Manor isn't here to hear this conversation or he'd die of embarrassment.]

IT'S NOT.. WE HAVEN'T .... [shut up Usagi. She sputter so a mintute, then grabs Isabela's hand again.]

Th-the cafeteria is this way!!!!!

SHE'S A TERRIBLE PERSON. I'm sorry. :c

[pirasea]

[Oh, that's adorable. Isabela just laughs at how flustered she is, allowing herself to be led to the cafeteria.]

Are we beginning our tour then?

no it's wonderful shh.

[moonbeams]

Y-YES! The important part is to not get lost! This place is pretty big but I hear we aren't gonna stay here. Maybe the other places are smaller...

[She talks quickly, but doesn't look at Isabela again for the time being, still monumentally embarrassed. For the first time she's thankful that Mamoru isn't here.]

[pirasea]

I don't think we'll have too much time to lose ourselves. If my friend is right we should be moved out of here today.

[She sounds like she's forgotten all about the previous topic, but if Usagi weren't looking away she'd see she still has a wicked grin.]

[moonbeams]

[Huh? Is that true? Usagi doesn't think Isabela would lie to her but really hopes that this "Friend" isn't the same one she was talking about earlier. Usagi purses her lips together before sparing a glance back.]

Hmm, I think you might be right! Kairi said something about that too but I don't remember when exactly she said it would happen.

[pirasea]

Saturdays, or so I'm told. I imagine the ships will be smaller than this one. They only need to house a crew of six to eight, so you shouldn't need to worry about getting lost.

[moonbeams]

Hehe, that's good to know! [She pauses, then asks.]

We'll be able to keep in touch right? [Meeting new people and making new friends after finding herself here, alone, is daunting enough, but having to start over AGAIN? with more people she's never met? Even more terrifying.]
