One New Notification!

[airlockedmods]

[About a day after Cece's message arrives, another small blip! cuts its way through whatever conversations the Airlocked! survivors might be having. But it isn't happening in the space limo this time - it's on the Temerity proper. Some of you are more acquainted with the computer system here, so you should know what that sound means.

You have new Spitter messages!]

MEANWHILE IN THE FUTURE

[daughterofthemark]

[Well. Discussion happened, decisions good and bad alike were made, and now nine survivors have rolled out to try to get into the convention center, hopefully by some method that doesn't involve making headlines.

That leaves ten people still holed up on the Temerity.

One of them is a princess who now finds herself with roughly 450% more nervous energy than she knows what to do with, and as such can be found pacing all over the ship.]

[refusedtoleave]

[Natsuhi had mostly 'settled' in one of the chairs on the bridge, wringing her hands...

She really felt useless right now.

But she is paying attention to as much as she can. Looking over at every noise she hears. So for a lot of that time she's looking at Arianna. All those footsteps.

The more you move, the more focused the glare gets.]

[daughterofthemark]

[It takes Arianna a while to notice. She's nervous, and not paying much attention to her surroundings. But eventually, she happens to look in the right direction.]

...Dame Natsuhi?

[refusedtoleave]

What are you doing? We'll end up with a hole in the floor...

[It's not a yell, but it's certainly sharper than necessary.]

[daughterofthemark]

I am--

[She looks at the ground, then at Natsuhi again.]

My apologies.

[refusedtoleave]

[Sigh]

...I hate this...

[daughterofthemark]

...you are worried as well.

[refusedtoleave]

How couldn't I be? We have no way of knowing what is happening and even if we went with them we'd just get in the way.

[daughterofthemark]

And none of us knows what dangers they may be facing.

[She sighs, wringing her hands.]

Rii-san...

[refusedtoleave]

Exactly...

[There's another sigh from Nat, as she drops her head and stares at her hands. At her ring...She doesn't like waiting.]

[everylittlesecret]

[Nari is sufficiently bored enough that she's going to make a game of Arianna going back and forth. And plus a total test of how much of her abilities are still blocked.

So she makes it snow whenever the princess passes her to see if the purple haired girl notices the sudden cold she walks through. If not, it'll keep happening till the girl is literally walking through a small snow drift.

Anyone else around can feel free to make comments on this because damn. Random snow in a spaceship? That's not normal.]

[daughterofthemark]

[The first time, Arianna stops, and glances around, expecting to see an open door.

...huh. That was weird. She continues walking.

She reacts the same way the second time. The third time, she doesn't start pacing again. Instead, she peers at the nearby wall. Are you hiding a vent, or something...?]

[everylittlesecret]

[..... Arianna you are so cute. Nari can't help but giggle a little at this reaction.]

Looking for something?

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna is entirely oblivious and has no idea why Nari giggled.]

I believe I felt cool air.

[everylittlesecret]

Cool air? In a ship like this? No one's opened a door since everyone's left.

[Have a soft, cold breeze waft by that feels like a door opening.]

[daughterofthemark]

I distinctly--

[THAT'S DEFINITELY A BREEZE. She whirls around and points.]

There!

[What stupid thing is she pointing at? Another wall? The computer? Kip?]

[everylittlesecret]

[Trying not to laugh.]

You're adorable, you know that?

[Have another cool breeze hitting your back.]

[daughterofthemark]

Yeee!

[AND SHE WHIRLS BACK AROUND--]

You!

[refusedtoleave]

[Her shoulders hunch up, and she just stares at the snow for a moment...

Then eventually she looks up at Nari.]

...I thought you had the fire powers? [What this?]

[everylittlesecret]

....... [She snaps her fingers, a small flame appearing on her thumb like a lighter.]

I'm an elementalist. Else I'd be the Champion Fire User.

[refusedtoleave]

You'd have a lot of competition for that... It's so strange, seeing all these abilities.

[everylittlesecret]

In one person or in general?

[refusedtoleave]

In general. I should be used to it by now but...

[everylittlesecret]

So... not a lot of powered people back in your world? Same for me. I'm one of a kind.

[refusedtoleave]

I wouldn't say there were any. I've heard things but not enough to say.
