[Thud.]

Ow! Way to be a klutz, Auriel, sheesh.

[The previous sentence was muttered as the viewscreen crackled to life, revealing a young man sitting on the edge of his pod, glaring at the screen.]

Okay look, can someone send me back to Alteria please? If I don’t get back, that means my brother’s basically won the war.

[And his girlfriend, but that’s being kept to himself.]

And he would be the worst king in fourteen star systems.

[Hopping off the pod, he picks up the box and tucks it under his arm as he starts making his way out.]

If I can’t get sent home, can I at least meet with whoever brought me here?

[More humans? ...Well he SEEMS human in any case.]

I regret to inform you that both of your requests cannot be fulfilled. If there is an organic being responsible for our presence here, the identity of this being remains unknown. From the information I have gathered, return to our respective worlds is impossible.

[coldfireprince]

[Of course. Auriel scowls at the response and glares off in some random direction for a moment.]

Bet you anything my brother had something to do with it so he could win.

[He is going to think that until proven otherwise.]

[aero_sage]

I am not acquainted with your brother. Would he have a reason for selecting each of us from our respective worlds to be brought here? If so, to what purpose?

[smelltheredinside]

I think we'd all like to meet him for pulling this lame stunt. [She knows she would. Not least to hit him in the face. A lot.]

[coldfireprince]

I'd like to think it was my brother that did this just so he could say he won the war we were fighting back home.

[But deep down as much as he'd love to blame Raphael for this, he knows it wasn't.]

[smelltheredinside]

You're fighting a war? That sucks. [sympathy. Not least because she knows how worlds can turn out after wars.] But somehow, I don't think it was.

[coldfireprince]

Yeah, our mother was the queen of our homeworld, and after she died, my brother and I -- we're twins, see -- started fighting over who would get it and it just went downhill from there.

[He's finally out of the Bay and has found a bench to sit on.]

Anyway, I'm Auriel, and you are?

[...This is video, btw XD]

[smelltheredinside]

....Why don't you just split it? Seems pretty stupid to start a war over it, dingus. Especially if you end up with nothing left at the end of the fight.

[The only sign that the line of previous conversation might be bothering is the fact she drags a hand through her hair - and even still, that's not going to be an obvious sign until you know her. That's before she gives a smile as she offers] Marceline's the name.
