[First, there’s audio. There actually isn’t any sound, except the soft sound of someone breathing. Then there’s something of a little huff, and then a very distressed-sounding breath being taken.

The breathing stops. There’s silence for a few moments, and then some scratching as fingers run over the MID's microphone. A softer brushing, as hair goes over it; she put it up to her ear. A few more curious taps with her fingers, and then the audio ends. The text function is next.]

[Finally, the video flips on. A pair of bright, bright, big blue eyes are blinking curiously at the communicator. The frame tips up to show straw-yellow bangs, and then up towards the ceiling. After a moment it swivels down to the ground, showing a pair of standard-issue Moira boots. It swivels up again to show Nill.

She tilts her head to one side, her long blonde hair falling over her shoulder. And now that it’s out of the way, one small, white wing is visible behind her back.

Suddenly, she looks very distressed; her eyes widen very noticeably, and her brows furrow. Now a pair of wings are very visible behind her; they’re standing straight up, twitching with agitation. Her lips press into a thin line, and then she turns the camera away from her, giving a panoramic view of where she is; she’s standing near the elevator on Moro deck. She's here, so now what? Heine isn't nearby, and she needs to find him.

The young girl turns the camera back to her, the recording times out on her distressed face.]

[Badou will have to deal with just how utterly Fucked he is up here, but for the moment there's something just as important on his screen. He'd know those baby blues and those wings anywhere.

Of all the people to get swept up here, it's Nill. Heine's little angel, his companion, his buddy ol' pal. His priest(ess...?) He has a distinct Bad Feeling like lead in the pit of his belly, can't focus on it, got to make sure she's alright. So he switches on the feed and peers at her, neck craned back so he knows its him.]

Nill, that you? Where are you at?

[nill isn't expecting a response to come from this strange watch, but suddenly there's badou's voice and her wings perk up as she searches for him in the immediate vicinity. except--his voice is coming from her wrist?? her eyes fall down to the MID and lo and behold, her favorite ginger is right there.

eyes still wide but a small smile creeping on to her face, she nods and waves at the device with her free hand. yes, hello badou, it's her. she is very lost and confused, please help.

she swings the watch around to show him the deck name (moro). is this helpful?]

[he beams at her right back, a little relieved but ultimately....well, freaked. She's all the way out here, he's all the way out here-- and where the hell is Heine?!

But he squints at what she shows him, nods]

That can't be that far from here, probably. Maybe I won't even meet any aliens on the way...just stick tight, alright? You good? You okay?

[he's already starting to walk, the camera zooming around]

[aliens?? she thinks she's heard someone talk about those but she doesn't really know what they are or what they look like. regardless, the way badou's said it, she probably doesn't want to meet one.

a harsh sigh, and she nods. yes, she's fine. heine is missing and naoto is missing, but at least badou is here. he's good at finding things, right? if anyone knows how to find their friends, it'll be him.]

[well hell neither does he! Unless they have cigarettes..and even then he won't just do ANYTHING yknow. he isn't easy

he nods back and keeps on moving, moving, moving, ducking around the eerie technobabble]

Don't worry, don't worry. We'll figure this out! I'm on the case.

[he has no idea what to do. aliens and shit on his own he could handle. this?]

[It's not exactly uncommon for Wanda not to recognize someone since the crew has grown so much, but she's pretty sure she'd remember if someone showed up with wings.

Maybe the Ingress turned itself back on or the captains are poking around again.]

Are you all right?

[a strange lady has appeared on her wristwatch and it makes her jump. but she seems friendly enough, and even though this is kind of weird, nill offers the woman a smile and a short nod. she's fine enough, considering she has no idea where she is and her psychopath friend is missing. yeah, totally alright.]

['Fine' is kind of a relative term around here, anyway.]

You are new, yes? Are you lost?

[to nill, the question seems to have an obvious answer. but since she hasn't yet figured out how to use the text function, maybe she'd better clarify. after a few seconds of fiddling, she manages to find the keyboard popup on the MID.]

Yes.

[ it's sad, but he's used to seeing people like her, children even. mutated and engineered to look like angels, some like demons, some like fucking mermaids - you name it and a House has likely done it. Blind, deaf, mute. Whatever suits. Maybe it's something she was born with, at least, for her sake, Andyr hopes that's the case.

Either way, it's a little girl looking lost, and Andyr's rusty teenage babysitter instincts are kicking in. ]

That's Moro deck. Are you looking for your room?

[unfortunately his hopes would be dashed if he actually knew how--and why--she is the way she is. but that explanation will have to come at a later date, because he is a strange man who has appeared on her watch and she kind of awkwardly holds her arm away from her face as if it'll increase the distance between them.

except that's stupid, because this is a video and he clearly isn't anywhere nearby right now. nill brings the MID back towards her face and doesn't immediately reply. but eventually she nods. yes, she guesses she is. the people who had read the contract to her had said she'd get a room so the number and deck they'd given her must be it.]

[ it’s impossible to miss that motion - distancing herself from the screen - and he knows what fear looks like. Ah. sucks, but it says a lot about where she must’ve come from. ]

No one’s gonna hurt you here. Literally, they can’t, or we drop them on the closest rock and leave. [ andyr knows hearing ‘you’re safe’ is hardly convincing, but an actual rule is something more solid. But either way, she can take that as she will, and he’ll just offer the help he chimed in to give. ]

So, if your room’s on Moro deck, just look at the numbers on the doors. Even’s on one side, odd’s on the other. The numbers are either getting bigger or smaller, depending on which way you’re walking.

If your room’s not on that deck, that’s a different problem.

[well, it does help a little, honestly. a lot of people in her life had told her the exact opposite--that they could hurt her, and they would. so this is a refreshing change of pace. her shoulders uncoil and her wings droop a little behind her. being stressed out isn't going to help her get home.

she doesn't turn off the MID as she walks, and eventually stops in front of moro #28. this is the number they'd told her. she brings the camera back up to her face and messes with it for a moment. she finds the text function and, well, he'd helped her, so he probably deserves to know her name.]

Nill.

[ He knows that hall she's going towards, hell, it's the same one he lives in, and it'd be easy enough just to step out of his room and point towards the door she needs, but there's some security in knowing the person on the other end is some distance away. there's a small smile he gives her, seeing that she'd found her room, and the offer of her name. ]

Andyr. [ his name, in turn. ] I'm in Moro 2, if you run into any problems.

[ but that's up to her, if she wants to seek him out. it'll hardly hurt his feels if she'd rather keep to herself and her people, assuming she has some here. ]

[lúcio would use the video function in reply, but he figures giving text a go first would be less shocking. she seems new, after all.]

hey there, man everything okay? i mean other than the suddenly being in space thing, haha

[it takes her a while to respond. she'd accidentally turned on the text function earlier and has to figure it out this time.]

I am lost.
Where is Heine?

i know this isn't what you want to hear, but i'm not sure who that is can you tell me?

He is my friend. He has white hair and red eyes.

[listen in her world this is enough for literally anyone to recognize him]

[ peter's seen enough in the past few months in his life to not be completely weirded out by her wings; once you've seen vision you've basically seen it all, to be honest. she's obviously upset, though, and maybe alone. peter was fortunate enough to recognize a few people he knows here, but feeling lost and alone on top of that can't be much of a party. ]

hey
looking for something?

My friend.
His name is Heine.

heine?
ok you can look for him in the directory
in the thing on your wrist you're using to talk to me
if he's here his name should be in the list

How?

[technology is hard man she lived in a church before this]

oh my bad
here

[ he'll just give her step by step directions, because while it'd be easy and quick for him to look her friend up, it's better if she learns herself. ]

does that make sense?
