This is Queen Elsa of Arendelle.

[ She appears on the network calm and composed, no smile or anything, but she hesitates after speaking. She feels a bit awkward about addressing everyone on the ship so soon after her arrival, but it's important. It's an important step in her plan to keep herself at a distance from others, to keep them all safe from her. So here she is, likely to sound like a horribly rude person, but it needs to be done. ]

...I suppose titles have no meaning here anymore. No matter. This is Elsa, and I would simply like to request that those of you on the same deck as me avoid my room. Consider it off limits. I-- I have a certain need for privacy and don't like to be disturbed.

That said, now for those that I work with: please keep your distance from me while we work together. I...wouldn't want anything to happen. By that, I mean I... I have an aversion to touch. It makes me uncomfortable and I wouldn't want to make anyone else uncomfortable, either.

I realize these may seem like odd requests, but they are what I require. Thank you for taking them into consideration and thank you for your time.

[ There's a curt nod, and the video feed cuts off. ]

My roommate would be the exception to the request, of course.

[ It's a good question--one she should have anticipated and maybe addressed in the message. All the same...she does wish she'd lucked out and not gotten one. ]

Oh, yeah. Makes sense.

If you don't like people touchin' ya, just give 'em the look. Ya know, the don't fuck with me look when they come your way. Keep 'em off your back, that will.

[He's not sure of her story, but if she didn't want people in her space, people should respect that.]

I can imagine it would, but I'm afraid I'm no good at giving such looks.

[ Then again, she's never really tried. It's kind of just a hunch. But considering she just gets more afraid than actually angry when people come near, it seems plausible enough. ]

Ah, bet you could if you practiced. Just gotta raise a brow, stare 'em down.

But anyways, I'm Eggsy. Guessin' your new?

Perhaps I'll give that a try.

[ That...actually earns a very small, very quick little laugh. ]

A pleasure to meet you, Eggsy. [ Even if it is only over text. She'd introduce herself, but she kind of already did in the original broadcast. ] Yes, I'm new. A large number of things must have given that away, I'm sure.

Yeah, I mean some? Like askin' for your space kinda makes it seem like either people weren't or you hadn't been here long enough to set up boundaries.

But, hey. How're ya findin' everythin'?

I suppose that was an obvious giveaway.

Everything on the ship? It's...interesting, for sure. It's all very new for me, however. Much more advanced technology than I'm used to, and the accommodations are...rather smaller than I'm used to. But all things considered, it could certainly be worse.

You did say you was a queen, probably is a bit weird here. Though seems that if we do our job and try not to get killed, it ain't so bad.

Like if you need shown around or don't know where anythin' is, I can help.

[After he sends it, he realizes how bad that might sound, the first part of his message.]

Try...not to get killed? Is that really a concern around here?

[ That has her majorly concerned. That is not something she signed up for. ]

And thank you, I'll certainly keep that in mind. I do greatly appreciate the thought.

Uh, little bit, yeah? Like if you ain't careful on the planets we visit or if something weird is happening on the ship. Isn't all the time, but yeah, do gotta be careful.

I see. I suppose that makes sense, to an extent. I would have believed the ship to be relatively safe, but you can't always control everything that happens...

[ She's a shining example of that. ]

Do weird things often happen on the ship? And what exactly do you mean by that, if you don't mind my asking?

Yeah, sometimes? Like there was these masks that did things to you if you put them on. Then there was some crazy zombie looking thing.

[Eggsy grimaces after he hits send, maybe he was laying this on too heavily.]

[ Oh dear. That's startling and frightening to say the least. She's so glad this is going on through text because the hand resting on her bed is starting to create a thin layer of ice over the sheets. ]

So... truly harmful things? Have there been any fatalities due to these...incidents?

Um, I don't think so. Not this time around. Pretty sure some people got hurt but nobody died or anything.
