[001 | video] So put on your best, boys

[ofawitch]

[The video clicks on to a woman in her late teens, with very red hair and very green eyes and a very British sort of accent, clearing her throat in that slightly nervous way associated with public speaking. Working the Guide - turning it on anyway - was fairly easy, after looking over all the knobs. Lucky she'd been raised in a Muggle household;

[You think the Vogons are strange. But Vivi's tiny and cute and won't hurt you!]

Y-yeah, it is really hard to believe when you first hear it.

[oh my god what are you you're adorable in a vaguely creepy way!]

I suppose they told you the same thing then?

[He is a squishable black mage!]

Uh-huh...well, other people on the ship explained it better. I accidentally made the lady mad before she told me much. [At least you don't think the Guide has ghosts in it like he did.]

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

Right, I read all that paperwork...just a bit hard to swallow. How many people - is that the right word even? People? Passengers. How many passengers, do you think?

Re: [video]

[facelikethis]

I...I don't know. Passengers are always coming and leaving. I've never counted or anything...but I know it's a lot.

I'm sorry, I'm not being very helpful, am I? [He tugs at his hat a bit.]

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

No, you're fine. [she smiles] Really, don't mean to ask too many questions. It's just all a bit nerve-wracking, isn't it? And then I thought I had gone and broken this Guide thing, don't know how I'd find anyone at all if I'd done it.

Re: [video]

[facelikethis]

You don't have to worry about the Guide. It's really hard to break these things. I mean, it still works fine after I've dropped it a bunch of times.

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

That's a relief, you've no idea. Sorry, what's your name again?

Re: [video]

[facelikethis]

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. My name is Vivi. Nice to meet you Miss Lily.

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

Nice to meet you too, Vivi, though you don't have to call me miss or anything. How long have you been here?

[video]

[facelikethis]

A...really long time now that I think about it. I was here about a year ago, but then I was away for awhile, and then I came back last month. It's kindof confusing.

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

That does sound confusing. [he's so cute oh no she can't help the almost too-sweet tone of voice she's taken on.] Do you like it here at least? Probably not better than home, but considering the alternative...

Re: [video]

[facelikethis]

[Vivi tugs at his hat a bit, really thinking on that. And he finally nods.] There are a lot of really nice people here. And I don't have to worry about fighting as much anymore...but I'm worried about my friends. A lot of them are still missing and...

[There he goes on about the bad again. He tends to do that a lot.]

B-but Zidane is here now, so I'm sure everyone will come soon. At least, I hope they do.

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

I have a sister. [she smiles slightly] She doesn't like me much, but she's my sister. I was asking after her, and someone said they have all sorts of other ships out there. That's nice, isn't it? Even if they aren't here yet, it's really possible your friends are on another ship.

Re: [video]

[facelikethis]

Y-yeah. Your right. [That did the trick in cheering him up. You can tell by his voice.] Umm...I hope your sister is alright too Mi- Lily.

Re: [video]

[ofawitch]

Thanks. Probably better if she's on another, to be honest. She's a bit, er, high maintenance.

So Vivi, what do you like to do for fun around her?
