ataraxion | chapter 001

[Michelle, wearing a green, black and white dress with a matching cap, is standing outside the library (it didn't take her long to discover that the ship has one), her device in one hand. She peers at it, and gives her audience a small smile. However, though her eyes are sincere, there is a touch of concern in them, an almost motherly touch. Or rather, a sisterly touch.]

Hello. My name is Michelle Cheung, and I'm one of the new arrivals. I'd like to ask if any of you have seen a very tall [At this, she raises her free hand up over her her head, palm down, to indicate height] woman with short black hair. Her name is Maggie, and she is quiet. I expected to find her in the library, but she wasn't there. Also, have you seen a short [Her hand moves down to somewhere between her chest and her waist.] pink-haired girl? She's Anita, and she doesn't like books.

Both of them are my sisters. [Her smile slips slightly into a more worried look.] I haven't seen them since I woke up here. Maggie, Anita, if you see this, meet me near the library, okay?

[A pause. The smile returns; it is a more knowing smile but no less sincere.]

By the way, it's very rude to abduct someone while she's in the middle of an important rescue mission.

[OOC note: You can run into her near the library, and book characters, please check out this 4th wall permissions post if you haven't yet!]

I think this ship cares little about rudeness. It has taken me from the middle of a war, and others from equally pressing business.

[Her eyes widen but she doesn't take a step back or drop her device or anything.] A war?

Aye, a war. But I'm told it waits for me, so my captivity here is bearable.

Even if my mission will...well, wait, I can't just leave my sisters.

They will have to wait for you, I fear, unless they are brought here as well.

So will our friend. The one we were supposed to rescue.

Are they in very grave danger?

I'm not sure how grave the danger is; she was kidnapped to write the greatest story in the world, but the fact remains that she was kidnapped.

Then let us hope you're sent back to her directly, and that your friend writes very slowly.

Well, she is very stubborn. I don't think she'll write if she doesn't want to.

Then let us hope she holds out long enough for you to return to her. I have been here longer than I care to remember, and it may be the same for you.

How long have you been here?

Seven jumps. And people have come and gone in that time, though I've remained.

And how often do jumps happen?

Every thirty days. If you need an escort down to them, I'd provide it.

A month.

You have been here for seven months...

Edited 2012-11-22 15:00 (UTC)

Aye. Seven jumps, seven months.

...

I've...I've never been away from Nenene or my sisters that long.

I felt much the same, when I left Winterfell. I'd never been parted from my family in such a way, and now that parting has stretched out longer than I had ever realized.

But you learn to be strong and to bear the seperation, for the promise of seeing them again.

[A solemn nod.]

Then you must be a very strong man.
