[airily]

Hey. Checkin' in. How's it going?

[tsunergy]

[what the heck sad dad this is so impersonal for you, now he's concerned.]

Everyone's understandably stressed. Worried about those left on the ground. Otherwise, we're in good shape. What about you? Any update since the attack?

[airily]

[ It's fine!! He's just tired!! ]

Communication seems to be working again, but I dunno how much of that is everyone else and how much of it was Sorey and me. Anyone on the ground you wanna check in on?

[tsunergy]

We'll have to check with the rest of the ships to see what they know.

Alisha's ship fell- as far as we know she was on board at the time. We need to make sure she's okay.

[airily]

Everything was fried. Sorey and I are working on it, but I dunno if it's something we can do without asking all the other ships. If we can get broadcasting it might trigger the others, or the same the other way, I guess. I'll find a way to get to her.

February 14th, action

[There's a huge, heavy knock on Mikleo's door and when he opens it, he'll find a small box with a red ribbon on it.

Inside, chocolates are nestled in the box, a few layers deep.

There's no note.]

[BURSTS INTO THE LAB] LANCE IS A MERMAID!

[tsunergy]

[hi Sorey, your boyfriend is drying his hair and he does not look surprised.]

It's amazing, isn't it? Though I imagine he'd prefer that you use "merman".

[monolike]

[waves that aside. pah. gender roles] I don't understand how something like that could be a- a glitch, but I guess it's possible. I mean, you were turned into a little kid! [an adorable little kid]

[tsunergy]

[look he's not saying HE has the hangup but it's a thing.]

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason for what happens when a "glitch" occurs, but that's the only explanation we have for it... and ugh, don't remind me.

[more embarrassing than adorable, thank you.]

[monolike]

Why not? You were really cute. [Way more adorable than literally anything else]

[ During this. ]

Mikleo, do you feel that? Is she okay?

[tsunergy]

[It takes him a little bit to respond while talking to her, but not long enough for Sorey to start panicking. Much. Hopefully.]

She's okay. She's younger right now, like I was. Pretty scared and looking for Eizen.

[monolike]

[HAHA HE'S FINE HE'S NOT PANICKING...MUCH.......]

Okay.

Okay. I'll stay on the Iskaulit; I don't want to spook her accidentally. I'll take a look around for Eizen, see if he's in either of the bars.

[tsunergy]

You're not staying on the Iskaulit, Sorey.

[Check the bars if you want, but good grief, don't make it sound long term.]

[monolike]

[Blinks before he smiles to himself, tapping out an immediate reply:]

I don't mean permanently. Just for now, until she's more settled. I'll need to be near her every now and then anyway, so we can make sure she doesn't get corrupted.

[bet you're happy to hear from me, pal]

What did you mean when you mentioned the Marsiva devouring things?

[tsunergy]

[UGH IT'S YOU 8( ]

Nearly a year ago, there was another ship in the fleet, the Paisley. Its crew was decreasing one by one over time and hardly any new people were staying on board, until presumably the roster fell too low to function properly. Without warning, the Marsiva absorbed the ship into itself.

It's never been seen since that day.

[angelofthevored]

Absorbed how?

[tsunergy]

Just how it sounds. The ship literally opened a hole within itself and sucked the Paisley inside. It all happened within a matter of minutes.

[angelofthevored]

[Opened a hole.]

There's something you need to see. Will you meet me?

[monolike]

Eithan's going to help me write the ending to Frederic!!!!

[tsunergy]

[oh no.]

Eithan? Why Eithan?

[monolike]

Because he's a bard, Mikleo! And a vampire!

[tsunergy]

Huh.

[How did they end up befriending multiple vampires.]

Well, are you going to try and imitate the original story, or with your own? Sequels to lost stories is a serious business to get into.

[He's going to regret getting involved, surely, but still... a teeny bit curious of what a disaster this might become.]
