[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?

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]

....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.
