19th Frontier [audio // common]

[ecopiracy]

Ugh. What... happened?

[Phoenix's voice is noticeably younger, though still distinctly accented with the formal tones of Aeropa. He also sounds very confused, possibly just a little dazed at first, though that soon clears up. He isn't speaking into his comm, but it's on and near enough to pick up his voice.]Jol? Gradi

Commander who?

[Hi Phoenix. It's your war buddy who... no longer remembers any war.]

[ecopiracy]

[Phoenix sits up straight at the unexpected and unfamiliar voice. A moment later, though, he's spotted the comm and picked it up.]

Commander Chad. Commander of the Wingfall Strike Force.

Who is this?

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Which strike force? Never heard of that one... Your division new or something?

Ironhide. Ground division, Cybertronian Armed forces.

[ecopiracy]

Not unless you consider five years to be new.

[Ironhide's name does not ring any bells with him. Nor does anything else he said. Phoenix frowns. He's cautious now, even though this man sounds vaguely Aeropan.]

Where did you say you were frown?

[erhabenheit]

You're a POW.

[ecopiracy]

[Another unfamiliar voice. The frequency this thing must be broadcasting on is obviously public. He snorts at at Bass's claim.]

If that were the case, I imagine I would be confined to a room or cell of some sort, not in an open field and with transportation readily at hand.

[Even if he doesn't know how to fly it.]

Try again.

[erhabenheit]

You're on a boat in the middle of the ocean with no lifeboats and no sign of land.

You're definitely a POW.

[ecopiracy]

And you are obviously lying, sir. I am surrounded by land. I'm sitting on grass and looking at the sky. If this is a boat, then it's a boat big enough to hold the world.

[farfairersoul]

...

[Oh you must be joking.]

Where are you?

[ecopiracy]

[Phoenix makes an exasperated sound, muffled, as though he isn't intending for Razer to hear it.]

I don't know. That's what I'm trying to find out. It's an open field, grass, a few trees, and a dirt path that looks like it loops back on itself. I've never seen any of it before in my life.

[farfairersoul]

[Razer stops and thinks. The looping back on itself gives it away, he thinks. Razer heads for deck twenty.]

...How old are you, Phoenix?

[ecopiracy]

[Phoenix's eyebrows draw together.]

How do you know my name?

[nottheaveragekg]

None of us think it's funny.

None of us.

[Ashelin scowls.]

[ecopiracy]

[Irritated or not, there's a girl on the comm, and that definitely has Phoenix's interest.]

I suppose I should be glad that I'm not the only one caught up in this, whatever it is, but I think I would prefer the alternative if it brought a smile to your face.

[Shut up, that's not corny at all. Serious flirting going on here, kthnx.]

[nottheaveragekg]

[Who the hell does this guy think he is? Does he really think those kinds of lines will work on her?]

Uh-huh. Sure you do. Name and rank, soldier.

[This is her attempt to be all professional and stuff. Impressing the Baron and living up to his expectations is important.]

[ecopiracy]

Airman Phoenix, right wing pilot in the Wingfall Strike Force, at your service, miss...?

[That's a hint to tell him your name~)

[lilyground]

You're on the MS Elegante.

[Hello, Phoenix.]

[ecopiracy]

[Oooh. And a very nice hello to you, too!]

Why thank you, miss... I'm sorry, but as much as it shames to me admit this, I don't know the name of the woman who owns such a lovely voice. May I the pleasure of making your acquaintance?

[lilyground]

[This is lovely. This is a lovely time.]

The name's Lily. Lily Worth.

[ecopiracy]

Lily... your name alone is worth it.

[You know how suave Phoenix can be as an adult?

...yeah, teenage Phoenix still has a lot of room to work.]

And how are you faring this day?
