 [It has been some time since he properly arrived.  He has taken the time to get somewhat settled, to find his clothes and try and recover from his last memories of home.  In that time, he has figured out the comms -- at the very least, the voice and video functions, and so there is little fumbling once he flicks on the switch. (He thinks, for a moment, of Combeferre -- he would have loved all this place had to offer.)

The young man looks -- tired, overall, though clean and reasonably clean-shaven.  There is a spark of fire in his eyes, though at the moment it is understandably dampened.  When he finally speaks, it is obvious he is expecting answers, voice curt and given to speaking orders --but he is certainly not a military man and his voice is tinged with a soft French accent.]

Information would be appreciated.  I would care to know if my friends are here.  They would be about my age, no more than ten of them, speaking of Les Amis de l'ABC.  They are called Courfeyrac, perhaps Combeferre or Grantaire.  Does anyone aboard this ship have news of them?

[ -- of all of the people, of course it would be Enjolras. And Marius, who has since secluded himself in his room to recover and to wrap his mind around what happened, and so Enjolras is treated to Marius Pontmercy looking somewhat startled and pale.]

They are not here, Enjolras.

[It's quiet.

Marius has searched.]

[There's a brief flicker of surprise, a small smile that very nearly stirs that quiet fire back to life, but -- not just yet. Everything is still too recent for that.]

It is a comfort to know that one of my brothers is, in that case. Are you well, Pontmercy?

[Marius gives Enjolras something of a look, a cross between a shrew 'you are joking' and an odd relief in that Enjolras is still alive to even ask such a stupid question. Still, he neither answers nor ignores it, instead focusing on something much more important.]

Where are you?

[untamedantinous]

The rooms that were given me. [And he tells him, briefly. Hopefully they're not too far from Marius'.]

[theyalldieforme]

Haven't heard of any of them.

[untamedantinous]

I have been told they are not here. But there is at least one person from my home.

[theyalldieforme]

Better than none.

[untamedantinous]

I suppose that is so, it is a comfort to have his presence at my side.

[Okay, okay. 5-year-old Japanese kid attempting French names, take 1:]

Ganterare... Combifur...--Courfayac...?

[He doesn't seem to realize that he's totally still seen as he ponders these, and even when he looks up at the camera he still doesn't, honestly.]

I'll try to remember--um, so I can watch and see if they're here. I'm waiting to see my friends, too.

[And a lot of those are dead, too, so v(._.)v]

[Video]

[untamedantinous]

[He's just -- staring a little confusedly when he hears those names. He's never exactly been good with children, and now is no exception, but he does gentle his tone.]

They would be dressed as I am, with a rosette, more than likely. [He points at the rosette on his lapel, for reference there.] What are your friends called, boy?

[Video]

[throwsdown]

[Oh, that's--actually a pretty little rosette. He really likes the style. :|b

He takes a moment to decide which names to say; there are a lot of them. The grown-ups may not realize he keeps to many names to heart, but he does. He remembers Inaba and Suzuki, Niji and Sakata...

There are a lot.]

My friends are Reika, Katou, Kei, Cherry, and Kaze--that's my dad.

... I really miss him.

[thaumaturgic]

[ he doesn't know your friends, and can see that you've been told of them by others. but there's something more important going on here. ]

Sorry, what- what did you say their names were? They sounded, um. Complicated.

[untamedantinous]

[A slightly annoyed sigh.] The ones I mentioned were Combeferre, Courfeyrac, and Grantaire. Surely that is not so difficult to recall?

[ Annie frowns, sympathy evident. ] I don't have any news, sorry. As far as I know, they aren't on board. [ a beat. ]

But I'll keep an eye out for them. I'm assuming they're also French?

[untamedantinous]

I have been told as much by another friend, thank you.

They are. They would be dressed as I am, perhaps ...wounded, or bloody at least.

[undercovergirl]

Have you been to the medbay yet? You should probably get looked at, and your friends might be there, too.

[interns]

I see someone already told you that your friends aren't here- I'm sorry to hear it.

But if you need anything else, or have anymore questions, I could try and help you out? This place can seem kinda crazy when you first get here. ... Well, okay it never stops feeling crazy, but moreso at the start, for sure.

[untamedantinous]

I had many when I arrived, mademoiselle, but less at the moment. [He sketches a short bow -- not full, it would be difficult to do that while holding the camera, but it is enough for now.]

I am Enjolras. --Lucien, if you prefer it, but most know me as Enjolras.

[interns]

Enjolras. It's a pleasure to meet you, monsieur. [ said like a true honors French student, complete with a little head nod of her own. someone give this girl an award!! no, but really, she's grinning wide, not that she wasn't before, but it's less timid now. ] I'm Gwen. Just Gwen. ..Well, technically my full name is Gwendolyn, but nobody calls me that. [ her eyes widen a little because what is she even rambling about?! ] Um. Anyway. I hope the ship has been treating you well so far.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I've been here some time, but none by any of those names have ever come aboard.

[voice]

[untamedantinous]

None? Then --well, Pontmercy is here -- but perhaps Jean Prouvaire or Feuilly, or Joly? Prouvaire may also go by Jehan.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Apologies. No.

[Les Miserables. First Sherlock Holmes and now Les Mis, why is the creepy space hell where all of her loves come to life.]

There's something distinctly unfair about this.

Anyway, I'm sure you've gotten plenty of responses about your friends, so I'll ask if there's anything else you're curious about, monsieur.

[WHY ARE ALL THESE LADIES IN LOVE WITH HIM HE HAS NEVER ONCE SEEN THEM IN HIS LIFE. :C

In any case, he is not accustomed to conversing with ladies all that much, but he hasn't failed miserably yet. So let's hope he continues in this vein.]

I have, and I have in fact found one of them. I -- am simply trying to settle in, for the most part, mademoiselle, you do not need to concern yourself with me.

[BECAUSE YOU ARE A FLAWLESS PERSON--in her books and plays at least.

but yes good. she'll be nicer than usual, because someone came straight out of a musical/book and into her life.]

Consider me not particularly concerned.

[that is honest. sorry, she's pragmatic at best.]

I didn't offer out of politeness, though. Discussing the situation we're in isn't a waste of time, in my experience.
