( nothing about what's happened since nuala made her choice makes a great deal of sense to her. she lives, inexplicably, but there is a wound in her where once her brother was; a hollowness she can't account for, in point of fact the very opposite of what she might have imagined her afterlife to consist of. dressed in strange clothes and adrift in a place even stranger than the BPRD's headquarters, handling truly peculiar technology--

--it is all very small, in the wake of that most important detail. it is, however, a sort of smallness that permits her anything else to think on while she gathers herself enough to, perhaps, investigate its cause. her first contribution to the comms network is therefore simultaneously accidental and very much with purpose: a period of audio recording where nothing much seems to be happening, video of Nuala's hands as she turns the device over several times, of her face as she examines it. audio, again-- an exasperated sigh, a little jostle, and then a startled vocalization followed by a bit of scrambling, and then, finally--

Nuala, having at some point prior to this transmission found her way to the room she's been allocated, looks composed of nothing but determination to be composed. )

Hello.

( ...and patience. she has that, too, in great stores. this is a device for communication. someone is going to communicate with her. eventually, this will begin to make sense again. )

( truly, the resemblance is uncanny, particularly in their actually identical facial scarring, wonderfully highlighted when she leans forward, briefly, to study him. )

What is your name?

Godric. And your name, lovely lady? [He knows how to turn on the charm when he wants to, but he only ever does it because he wants to, because he finds himself charmed in turn. He's rarely found it worth the effort to flatter falsely.]

( her smile is flickering-quick and then gone, almost shy. )

I am Princess Nuala. I hoped-- I wish to make sense of this.

[faderbroderson]

As do we all. We have only been somewhat successful, I'm afraid. There is a man here who posts a guide if you would like to read it.

That is-- I shall. I shall do that, thank you, Godric.

( perhaps it will help. )

[faderbroderson]

Not at all. If you press your finger to these words, it will take you there.

[He pauses briefly.]

I am acquainted with someone here who looks very much like you. His name too is similar to yours, and he introduces himself as a prince.

[They couldn't more obviously be related, in fact.]

video; and liisu plays fast and loose with timelines to reconcile threads

This is extremely useful - I will familiarize myself with it most thoroughly.

( as to the other thing... )

I have been told, though I confess that I can scarcely believe it.

[faderbroderson]

Is it so unbelievable? Many impossible things have happened aboard this ship. Although, it is beyond me why he has not yet approached you, unless he is indisposed.

( even if Nuala believes that he's present, she can think of many reasons he may not have contacted her immediately. )

I'm sure that isn't the case.

[faderbroderson]

[Godric pauses thoughtfully.]

If you are on poor terms, you have my sympathies.

[favouring]

Few things in life are so simple as we might wish them to be. I am accustomed.

( to gritting her teeth and getting on with it. )

[faderbroderson]

I can understand that.

Are you finding your way around easily? I'm afraid there are no maps to speak of, and the walls have a tendency to shift as they will.
