003 Video/text @SERENE
[For the last week Serene has been completely missing but now here she is, sitting on her bed and grinning widely. Her formally pale face is now deeply tanned, far more than those few weeks on Zeta-12 could have left her, and her bare, paler shoulders look more firmly muscled than before]
Am I dreaming or am I here? [If your character speaks Persian well, she'll sound like she has an atrocious accent. If your character isn't fluent they likely have no idea what she's just said.
She laughs, rubs her face]
I hope I'm speaking a language most of you understand, but who knows what you strange earth-humen speak. Hold on!
[Her eyes narrow in concentration and text slowly appears on screen]
Hello! I am Serene Charlord, a newly arrived yet not a new recruit. It has been near two years since I have walked these halls but I see this place is as strange and chaotic as I recall.
Are there any here who still remember me? I hope so, for I have spent the last two years hitting my forehead as I think of questions I should have asked about your realities while I still had the chance. I am not sure what power has drawn me back here again, but I would not be surprised if it was the force of my curiosity.
[By the time she comes to the end of that text she's biting the tip of her tongue between her teeth. She considers her words and shrugs, grinning again]
There! Now I have covered everyone. Hello, my old friends and enemies. I look forward to meeting you again.

What are you talking about? Perhaps you hit your head harder than you thought-- you appear to be delusional.
text
Show me your face! I want to see if I have remembered you correctly!

[and there's a short delay as he switches functions, then flashes her a crooked grin]
video w/text
I remembered everything about you correctly except for your teeth: in my mind's eye they were far longer and sharper.
video w/text
Never underestimate the value of subtlety.

Serene?!
[He can't help the exclamation, even with the translation error rendering them unable to understand each other's languages. The name should parse, shouldn't it? He grins broadly through the network at her, and then pulls up his little keyboard to type. That's still faster than thinking at the magitek devices, somehow.]
I thought you were gone! Or, rather, I suppose I thought you were gone for good. I think you're the first person I've known to be gone for more than a day and to come back.
Welcome back! Two years? I'm shocked you remember any of us.
[That's a tease, although he's well aware of the foibles of tone via text.]
video w/text
[She's grins fit to bursting when he appears. She types slowly but can't help interjecting what she's tapping down.]
How could I forget you? This place changed my life! And you, my fiery scholar friend, I remember you saving my fingers from the frost and letting me set you alight. You left such an impression on me.
I missed you. [Those words, though unintelligible, are brimming with sincerity]
I missed you! How long have I been gone? Did you miss me?
no subject
Is that the summary she has of him in head? Well, it's not bad; at least that embarrassing incident at the river didn't make the cut. He glances down only infrequently as he types.]
You were gone a week, though I was growing convinced you were gone for good, which [he pauses for a moment to consider his typed words, pulling a wry little grin,] was not a thought I was enjoying.
We've only been back in Oska for a bit, and as you can probably tell, never a dull day with the Audentes. Have you run into any bugs yet?
no subject
But here I am to put your mind at ease again.
I walked out of my room with the intent of hunting down familiar faces, saw them swarming in the hall and decided to come back here to communicate on the network. For precaution's sake I have assumed that they are as dangerous as those floating orbs when touched.

[ she has so many questions though??? ]
Did... Did you really return home for two years?
How did you manage that...
Re: text | username: olivia
Yes, I returned back to the very moment I left home, wearing my uniform instead of my dress. I do not know how I ended up there instead of here in Oska, nor why I was chosen to come now, except that it must be almost exactly the second anniversary of when I was first kidnapped by ALASTAIR.
How are you? How is your husband?
no subject
It's fortunate that Mr. Crowley and Mr. Cherenkov have been able to fix the magitek enough that we can use these texts now...
Do you, um. Do you think if you were to ask any of our seniors about your situation, they might be able to explain it...?
no subject
I don't intend to talk to any cats. Just the thought of looking at them makes me want to set them on fire.

Serene? You left?
[He recalls then Laedo's problem and hastily focuses on a more text based response, glad that he doesn't actually have to write now.]
You left, and then two years passed? You went home?
video/text
Melon, you are one of the people I've wished I had spoken to more in my time away. Yes I went home when I was transported from Zeta-12. As you can see I ended up living in a desert again, but I have never entered another cave.
video/text
...are you just trying to get into another fight with me now?
Re: video/text
I have not seen you for two years! Are you really not named for the fruit?
My apologies, I do not know how to spell your name correctly; perhaps I have been mispronouncing your name all along. I am not trying to start a fight.

What in the world happened?

Do we know each other? I do not recognise your user name.

This is Keats. The one who lit your candle for you that one time?
Re: text
I remember very vaguely that when we first met in the observatory you were upset about the end of the mission you had been on before we went to Zeta Twelve. Are you feeling less despondent after this one?

[Text | un: tsukuyo] Sorry for how late this is but I wanted to tag it!
[Text | un: tsukuyo] No probs!
Is the change that noticeable? Ahh, I cringe to think of the day we first met. I have now spent most of a year taming and riding a camel and I can now appreciate that animal slaves are not a completely black ill.
[Video + text]
Don't think my face is very easy to forget.
[ Even though Serene can't understand it, Tsukuyo figures she can offer her language too.
Then it's back to text. ]
I'm not sure what a camel is, actually.
[Video + text]
A camel is a four-footed mammal that lives in the deserts of my world. They are large and strong beasts, and they have a hump upon their back they fill with water so they can survive journeys between water holes without drinking. They are creatures whose respect you have to earn!
