[ andy appears, barely ten minutes after joric smuggles her not!corpse out of the arena, and she hurries to share what happened without thinking much of it - thus she's looking a little bloodstained but unharmed otherwise. it's spattered obscenely across her neck, with some flecks into her face, remnant of what could be a throat slitting. ]

Don't ask. I found the fucking orb from Amaryllis Grove.

[ she'll grab a towel of sorts and start wiping down. ]

It took over Jial Bryn, of the Daughters of Twilight. I challenged her to a duel for leadership to see why her family kept winning and what might happen, and it turns out she's possessed now or some shit. Recently infected. It's interested in fucking up this world even more.

The good news is the orb thinks I'm dead and can't share its existence with everyone, so we'll have the element of surprise, whatever happens next. It doesn't know we know about it.

[ did the orb murder her? maybe a little bit. ]

Maybe stay away from the shadow of Jial Bryn until we have a plan. They don't fight fair. Do we know anything about her second in command? Her reaction to the challenge was the only differing one.

[AHHH — CHOO!

You know, like a sneeze. That's what comes through the feed involuntarily. A sneeze. Followed by a stuffy response:]

Noticed there've been some new faces since the last time, and I'm bored, so let's get this show on the road! My name is Dr. Newton Geiszler, but you can call be Newt; I'm not too big a deal, just one of the best scientists you'll ever meet. And I'm super funny, and super brave. All of the staples of a quality protagonist, y'know? [Is he joking? Is he not? He'll never tell. But anyway.] Welcome aboard the Ximilia! We've got a little time before we all get shot off to the next mission, so if you got questions, you'd better leave 'em here! Might as well, because I'm in quarantine until further notice.

Unless I get the munchies; then I'm sneaking outta here when Yujin and Chishiya aren't looking...

[Sorry, was that supposed to not be sent?]

I've got a handy dandy mandatory questionnaire for you to fill out! We've never done these before, so it'll be nice to see how it contributes to the comradery and engagement of our super awesome team of regret-fueled heroes! Or, uh, anti-heroes. Or villains. I'm not gonna psychologically evaluate alla' you, because none of my 6 PhD's fall under that umbrella. What I can say with complete certainty is a disproportionate amount of adults on this station are atypically hot, which is a crime against me.

dispassioned

I’ve been speaking with the oldest of the dragons here and I’ve learned a few things.

The dragons aren’t native to this world. They didn’t evolve. They weren’t bred. They're a product of the orb. It seems Queen Zefira made a deal that wished them into being to ensure her rule and protect her bloodline. The details are hazy, but the deal ensured their creation and continued existence as well as their safety here.

In short, the dragons have the orb or they know where it is. But presumably taking it could be detrimental to them. Unsurprisingly, they aren’t eager to part with it.

That’s what we’re working with at the moment.

locumstudentesquire

[Normally when Ryunosuke sends any kind of broadcast over the network, he does it with a sense of formality. He takes care to introduce himself, and he tries to choose his words carefully.

Right now, he just sounds tired, and faintly bewildered. The message is brief:]

So... Was anyone else aware that Emerton Haughtford was once-- or currently is--? The commander of this station...?

Genuine question. Because it is certainly news to me.

greenpower

[The woman who appears on the video feed is new, and notable for a couple of reasons. First and most obvious, she is fairly notably green. Not just a little green, either. Her skin, eyes, even her lips are clearly and distinctly chlorophyll green. The second, and somewhat less remarkable, is her expression which falls somewhere between irked and uneasy.

If you guessed she's not much of a public speaker, you'd be right. A fact which becomes abundantly clear when she addresses her audience.

Don't you feel smart.]

Hello. Hi. I know there's a bunch of us who just showed up and started filling up your network with, I don't know, I'd call them introductions but I'm not really sure what some of these assholes are doing. Anyway, I'll try to keep this short and no more awkward than necessary.

[Her tone is dry, and the words clearly enunciated and a little louder than natural. As though she's worried the people watching will have a hard time following and she doesn't want to repeat herself.]

I am Dr. Pamela Isley, a.k.a Poison Ivy. You can call me Ivy. I'm not here to stand on formality or wave around my degrees.

[Time to find out if anyone has heard of her. There's no way they'll be lucky enough that no one has heard of her, right?

Deep breath, and:]

I bring it up because I'm a botanist and a biochemist. Trying not to step on any toes here, but I'd like to find out a few things.

One—who can I talk to about using the lab? Are we like assigned space, or is it a free-for-all in there? I don't want to touch anyone's ongoing projects, because I know how I'd feel if someone started poking through mine without checking with me first.

Two—similar question, this time substitute "hydroponic garden" for "lab." You might have noticed... plant theme. Botanist. Like, my thumbs are literally green. It's sort of my brand. If I could get in on that, it would be aces.

[She is trying very, very hard to play nice where the garden is concerned. Ivy is smart enough to know she's not going to get very far making enemies on her first day. So sort of the opposite of prison. Or boarding school.]

And speaking of plants, three—if anyone has any seeds or any cuttings or starts I could persuade them to part with, then I would owe you a favor.

[Each of those last words is drawn out deliberately, her voice growing quieter as she hesitates between words. When she follows up, it's light in contrast:]

I would kill for a spider fern for my room.

[She's joking, but like, is she joking?]

And that about covers it. Just, reach out to me here with any answers. Thaaaanks.

[ there's a moment when the camera turns on and shakes, before cal's face comes into view. he's got wind pushing his hair back and he's wind-flushed, a little out of breath.

beside him is a very large toad, sitting serenely. cal nearly drops the camera and then curses, before everything goes dark because he's dropped it on an expanse of dark blue. uh. okay. then everything changes to text. because sharing this information while talking outloud means 1) bugs in the mouth, 2) everyone listening to a skullmask attack or 3) grovin hearing all he has to share. daetcheu-nono, as a certain yellow dog would say. ] Sorry for the rocky start, guys. It's-- Cal. Cal and Jake.

First thing -- Jake and I found Grovin, the Sage that was supposed to lead the festivities our first night and, uh, we're taking him back and he's going to tell the Chief what's coming.

We learned a couple things from him.

Hey, everybody. It's Jakey talking now. I'll keep it short, but this guy Grove, he's been around this planet for a long, long time. His whole species lives long, though there ain't many around these days. Such is the way of us all, right? Anyways, his role and the role of the Sages before him isn't to keep history so much as... speak to the world? Like, literally, they can talk to one another. And the planet's known about the meteor coming for a while now. Grove's a good guy, him not attending the festival wasn't out of nefariousness. He's just... old.

[ And honestly, Jake trusts the toad at this point. He'll take him at his word on that. ]

The Hivawei are part of a continuum here on this planet, at least that's how I understood him. Death into life in a cycle, was how he put it. I know what that means to me, but I guess we'll see what it means to the Hivawei when we get there. Shouldn't be more than... five more hours until we're back. [ Jake may be talking over text, but somehow he still sounds exhausted. Wing cramp was real, man. ] Eesh.

[ there's an awkward pause before more info comes! right! cal's cue to take over while jake's trying to keep them up in the air! ] Yeah. All that.

He also told us about the Mother of Light too. Well, that there is no Mother Light. It's just something the Hivawei turn to when they're stressed but it's based on lamawei. I think someone said it's the flower? [ look! he's kinda behind on network stuff! and also local jedi was busy with talking to a toad??? ]

[ ooc: jake is the yellow-orange and cal is the indigo text! feel free to threadjack and comment around as always! here is the search request for those who haven't seen! ]
