Wings of Wonder: Comms

[voidtreckermods]

Talk to All

Talk to Team

Talk to Individual

For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.

The comms are a bit crackly and can distorted especially if trying to talk over islands but they do work.

( Jingyi would say yes, people lie all the time, though he wouldn't count himself in their number. If that's... good or not... no one should say. Really, don't say. )

You know, for a moment I was appreciating the resolve of 'I'm not planning on getting injured' but now I'm wondering if I should have Ryo talk to you so you've got an additional reason to not get injured. How good are you at dodging arrows?

[happyends]

I've.. done it before..

[ If not just by sheer virtue of these missions making it impossible to not have had to do that at least once. ]

But, um, only in this place. It's not something I practiced back home.. I only learned how to deal with all that fighting since I showed up on the train. I've.. done it before..

[jingyeets]

How long has it been since you got abducted on board?

( dear everything what further chaos has the train strewn as it goes? he at least knows what it is he's earned out of this: he's a warrior by training, to degrees by nature too. he sighs. )

Okay, important but not the only important thing. Look, unless you're very confident in dodging arrows, take one of us who's more used to it with you so you're acting as backup, not bait, okay?

[happyends]

[ A little softer: ]

I'm not very confident in anything, though.

[ At least it's a honest admission, even if it's a.. rather sad one at the same time, huh.. ]

B-But I don't mind the buddy system. We can go together, like we said. And-- [ Added, almost more like an afterthought since she was so busy saying everything else first: ] I've been on the train for about a year now.

[jingyeets]

Ooookay so we've got a lot of work ahead of us. Is there anything you're confident in. Anything?

( HEADING HER WAY by this point, and if he were seen, his frowning at his SCA while the earpiece is properly in ear would be fairly obvious. )

So you've been only fighting a year, and in this kind of chaos? Sounds like utter shit to me.

( He claps his hands, and as the guy who has trained his entire life to be thrown into situations handling the dangerously absurd, he adds: )

Okay, Little Sister, we're buddies. ( Whatever the buddy system is. Buddies! Sure. ) Keep out of sight of the birds and any of the sali with red eyes for now, okay?

[ DAD JIANG CHEEEEENG, SOME BOY OVER HERE USED ANOTHER BAD WORD!!

But yes, thankfully Jingyi is easy to spot, and Madoka is already walking right over to him, giving him a shy little wave once she's in front of him and turns off the line over the SCAs now its function is practically moot. ]

I am.. keeping out of sight. I think.

[ Unless there's some around here right now and no one told her. But the coast seems pretty clear to her, even though that.. too.. is something she is not very confident in.. ]

And, um.. about the other question.. You might have to define 'confident', i-if you don't mind..

[ That's bad news, huh. ]

[jingyeets]

( as she's not yet assaulted by mind-altered sali or flying animals, she's achieved out of sight in his opinion. his opinion on bars to meet can be really low at times. higher at others.

he unshoulders the bow he'd arrived with, keeping it ready in hand. only to pause, his tailtip twitching as he stands there in a sali nightgown with a sali half cloak pulled over him, staring at Madoka for a long moment, like he's not sure he heard her right. )

... Is that not a word in your vocabulary? Confident means you believe you're capable of doing something. Anything. You're confident you'll wake up in the morning, if you're most people. Or you're confident that you're hot or cold or breathing or crying or a good cook or a terrible liar, confident is a belief.

[happyends]

[ .. or confident you can pull off a sali nightgown getup, huh. ]

I..

[ She starts, pauses, and then starts again. ]

I'm confident that I'm alive right now.. and that I'm breathing.. and that I'm a girl. [ Is that a start.

Is she nailing this yet, Jingyi. Look at those expectant eyes..! ]

[jingyeets]

... Yes, right, let's keep that confidence in breathing and being alive.

( the girl thing is not a stronger candidate to confidence in his eyes than the first two which are BASICS WHAT IN THE WORLD? he ushers her on with a shooing of his hands in front, trying to mentally orient himself. )

You know what else you're going to be confident in, while we're out here?

( it's rhetorical sounding but he's literally waiting for her to either say something she's confident in or give him nothing. )

[happyends]

[ It really is rethorical sounding, isn't it. Or it kind of sounds like he's trying to lead her towards something to be confident in - except Madoka isn't entirely sure what it is.

And the thing about Madoka? Well, if she doesn't know what another person is trying to lead her towards, she wouldn't dare assume it for them. Hence why she gives the other a very blank look before slowly saying: ]

I.. I don't know, what is it..?

[ D-Don't worry, Jingyi, she wouldn't dare insult you by guessing the wrong thing! Look at those big, innocent eyes! ]

perhaps fade to them being effective somehow after this?

[jingyeets]

( he wasn't expecting an answer, thankfully for someone here, though what he does say is: )

That I won't be leaving you behind. Now, let's go round up some sali for their healers.

( AND THAT IS WHAT HE WILL SET OFF TO HAVE THEM DO, MY FRIEND, HE IS GONNA TWO PERSON PARTY THIS... making Madoka not actually do running point but she can babble at people, that's fine--soblaskdfj )
