[The comm falls and when it clicks on, it catches the tail end of a startled gasp. Odette circles the comm a minute, before she finally waddles closer to it.]

What is this thing?

[Feathers rustle and finally:]

Um...hello?

Comments

[Locked from Odette]

No use frightening her; how would you like someone telling you that you lost your memories?

[Open]

Welcome to the Elegante. We're on a boat ... ship ... it's hard to explain ...

[aswanbyday]

A ship? How did I get here? Where are we going?

[ttlyisabard]

You were rescued ... and we're going to a place called the Golden Shore ... it's supposed to be a great place ...

[Blasted cultural qualms about lying.]

[aswanbyday]

Rescued?

[...]

Then why am I still like this.

[She's not asking you specifically, Kate.]

[ttlyisabard]

Uh ...

[Like what?]

Something happened back home ...

[aswanbyday]

It's nothing.

[She tries to sound upbeat.]

I'm Odette. You are?

[ttlyisabard]

[The name sounded proper, like something from a time more like Kate's. So she went back to using her full name.]

Katherine ... Starlen. And welcome ... to the Elegante.

[aswanbyday]

It's very nice to meet you, Katherine. And thank you for the welcome.

[ttlyisabard]

You're ... welcome ...

[She giggled at the fequent use of the word.]

So where are you from? Tell me about your land.

[aswanbyday]

I-...Before I came here, I was at a place called Swan Lake.

[ttlyisabard]

Sounds lovely ...

[aswanbyday]

Yes. It can be.

[ttlyisabard]

Has anyone else told you what's going on here?

[aswanbyday]

Sort of? I believe we're trapped here on the boat.

[ttlyisabard]

Well, as long as you don't hurt anyone, the crew are treating us really well ...

[How do you tell someone 'we're not trapped here when we have no where to go home to'.]

[aswanbyday]

I don't think that will be a problem. Thank you.
