[ Although the image is mostly Wash's face, there's enough background in the shot to make it clear that he's standing in one of the Eluvio's corridors. There's a door behind him and just off to the left is a sign that reads: SIMSPACE. Once the feed's going, he jerks his thumb back toward the door. ]

If I don't come out of here in like a day, send someone in to get me.

[ He pauses, making a slightly exasperated, slightly apologetic face. ]

And hey, if using this thing unleashes some kind of virtual reality nightmare on everybody, sorry. [ Does that require a little clarification? Maybe it requires some clarification. ] I've seen the old movies. I know how this shit goes.

[ Agent Washington. Always a pessimist. He offers a faint, tiny smile. ]

Otherwise, if anybody wants to visit one of the beaches on my homeworld, come on down. I can give you the grand tour.


( ooc: i figured the eluvio could use its own version of the holodeck! i posted a thing to the locations list so if there's anyone else who wants to take advantage of these things, be my guest! )

Yeah. That's right. Agent Washington. Wash for short.

You're a real princess? Like actual royalty?

[juniberries]

I am. My father was the King of Altea.

[NOT THAT SHE EXPECT THAT MEANS ANYTHING BUT?? yeah. space princess royalty even though her planet has been gone for about 10,000 years.]

[sixth]

Is that a country or a planet? Not that it really matters, a princess is a princess, but I'm curious.

[juniberries]

It was a planet.

[sixth]

[ Doesn't that just put the whole thing into perspective. She didn't just lose her home and homeworld. She lost a planet she was in some way responsible for, too. ]

I'm sorry to hear that, Princess. I wasn't anyone on my world. Fought for it though. That's all you can do.

[juniberries]

Fighting for your world makes you somebody. I have never met someone who wasn't anyone.

[she's. doing that usual Princessy uplifting shtick.]

I am so sorry for what happened to your star system.

[sixth]

Me too. For yours.

Someone told me once that it isn't the end as long as someone remembers. Your world lives on in you. Just like mine does.
