Lulu Sphere [001]

[venussigil]

[Her skirts make it difficult to move, but Lulu pulls herself from the wreckage. She looks around, and breathes in the air. One thing is obvious: this isn't Luca.]

Wreckage?

[She takes a few steps  back from the ship and considers what she sees.]

A  machina?

[Then she turns around, not quite bewildered, and looks at the terrain around her.]

The Farplane

Eos, I believe! It's not so bad. Unless you happen to have a fear of frogs, that is. Then I suppose it would be quite the unpleasant vacation spot!

[venussigil]

[raises an eyebrow]

Not so bad as compared to what? Also, what are these frog things?

[She's pretty sure that last one's a stupid question, but she's never actually seen a frog before.]

[canniballistic]

What it could be, I suppose! And that ship. You shouldn't stay too close to it, actually - it's begun to creak in a very unsettling way, of late.

[She smiles, waving a hand absent-mindedly.] The wildlife! Everything here seems to be at least part frog. Ah, except for the butterflies. They're quite normal.

[venussigil]

[she regards her surroundings again, so the machina is called a ship]

Yes, I seem to remember having to crawl my way out of it. It's about as well-maintained as a ruin.

[and the frogs...lulu looks out at them, and looks at the butterflies, trying to make the comparison.]

So the frog part has to do with the configuration of the hind legs, and the hopping?

[bothareone]

The Farplane? Um, we're on a planet.

[venussigil]

[relaxes *just* a little. thankfully no one can really tell from the cage.]

I see. So we're not dead. That's a step in the right direction.

[bothareone]

...I've been told the ship crashed on this place but I got here after that.

[venussigil]

It's appearing to be that way. How did we get here in the first place?

[oliverplus]

Ah, another newcomer! I see you've already made it out of the ship... [can't help it; she's impressed] How in the world did you manage it in that dress?

[venussigil]

[now that she thinks about it; it is strange]

Luck, mostly. I must have started near the outside, without any huge obstacles in my way.

So, that's a ship, you mean like an airship?

My name is Lulu, by the way.

[oliverplus]

Well, any of the rooms would have been floors away... But I'm guessing you started in one of those lovely orange suits, hm? I'm glad you've already found a change of clothes!

Airship? [blinks] I guess you could say that. It's a spaceship. Or it was, when it worked.

I'm Olivia. Nice to meet you!

[venussigil]

[Lulu winces, just slightly, at the memory] I determined that I could not tolerate that suit. Tight in wrong places, loose in the wrong places.

[takes a discreet, measuring look at Olivia.]
You can relate, I'm sure.

[ladyxlightning]

Definitely not those places, sorry to say.

[venussigil]

I wouldn't be. That means we're probably alive.

[ladyxlightning]

That is a probably a good thing.

[venussigil]

Any reason it wouldn't be?
