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.

[honestly, it hadn't even registered for him that she was missing. but then, for him at least, it certainly hasn't been two years.]

What are you talking about? Perhaps you hit your head harder than you thought-- you appear to be delusional.

It's Giovanni, but close enough.

[Despite their 'recent' conversation, her reaction is still somewhat surprising to him.]

Never underestimate the value of subtlety.

[Evan has been browsing the network, odd polyglot rabble that it is right now, more for interest's sake than anything else. When he spots a familiar face it stops him and he stares, feeling a wash of shock and relief. Serene had disappeared about the same time that Kida had, and he had feared that she had been spirited home too, though her without the courtesy of a goodbye.]

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.]
evantuality: ha ha yeah (ha ha yeah)

[personal profile] evantuality 2016-08-26 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't know what she's said there, but the tone of it is well enough, sustains his grin. It's still as much relief as anything else, but that burst of painful relief is giving way to burning curiosity, to a kind of internal scrambling for what an absence that long even means.

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?

My Lady Serene...! Um — welcome back.

[ she has so many questions though??? ]

Did... Did you really return home for two years?
How did you manage that...
winces: (( five ))

[personal profile] winces 2016-08-27 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, um. I'm fine, thank you! Achilles is as well, though it has been very hard for us both since no one seems to really understand us...
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...?

[Normally Meallan would be more inclined to ignore this, recalling that while he and Serene were, by some miracle, not at each others throats the last time that they spoke, that didn't mean all was so easily forgotten. But when she made mention of the time that had passed, he couldn't help but feel his curiosity pique.]

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?

First of all, you were gone, and you were gone for what did you say? Two years??

[ And yet she still calls them slaves ... Tsukuyo says nothing about that, though, and instead switches to video, greeting the feed with a smile. ]

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.
