When: Mid-November Catch-All
Where: Various places on the ship.
Summary: Updated memories after a canon update, possible birthday planning, brand new sundries gift, etc.
Warnings: None for now. I'll update later if needed.
Notes: Fio is back from her canon update. You can see more information in the comments section of her application. She is mostly her same friendly self, but a lot of time has passed in her mind.

■ Skulduggery (Closed)

[ When Fio awakens, she doesn't immediately realize where she is. Not the stone spires of The Cage. Last she remembers, she was accompanying Levania, Argo, and Noelle.

Sitting up, her gaze falls upon a flower pendant left on the nightstand, next to a rectangular shaped object with a screen and buttons. She looks around, surrounded by gifts. And she remembers. Memories quickly bubbling back up to the surface, as if her time on the Serena Eterna had been buried away.

Clumsily, she writes out a text: ]


Daddy? Where are you? I hope you're still here.

[ She wandered The Cage for about four months before entering a peaceful sleep for an unknown period of time. Her mind tells her that she has been gone from the cruise ship for a long time. But she may have seen Skulduggery only yesterday... ]

■ A. Location of Your Choice (SEMI-OPEN - library, sand dollars, sports deck)

[ Later on, Fio wanders around, checking out her favorite places: the library, the cafe, arcade, and the sports deck. Judith the stuffed bear, levitates after her. Lepus the stuffed rabbit, nestled in her arm. It's like she's never left! Because she never actually did.

Yet when she crosses paths with another, she stops to give a brief stare, taking a moment to recall a name and face. For entirely new meetings, she gives a shy smile in greeting. As for others: ]


i. Close CR

[ She breaks into a run, throwing her whole weight into a hug. ]

ii. Positive CR

[ She reaches to clasp a hand with both of hers, to confirm that they're physically here. A smile. ] Um... hi! It's good to see you.


■ B. Near Guest Services/The Lounge (OPEN)

[ The excursions are still happening. Of course they are! She hasn't actually been gone long enough for a drastic change to happen. She never left in the first place. Only now she has a large amount of extra, new memories added on.

Maybe Fio was peeking around the corner, watching you sign up. Or maybe she already took a peek at the list of names jotted down on the sheet.

Looking on with disappointment, she heaves the biggest sigh to make sure you hear! It doesn't matter how well she knows you or not. She's tired of people going off to die over and over again. Despite how it's advertised as a getaway, similar to the winter resort, she doubts it's true. ]


...Do you really have to go?

■ C. Upper Decks (OPEN)

[ It's almost December, which she eventually realizes. Her birthday is next month. And she'll be eight— no, nine. She doesn't know if she grew any taller, though her hair does seem to be getting a little longer. She hasn't thought too much about what she wants to do. Will anyone even be in the mood after the next excursion?

Nonetheless, she tries to come up with some ideas. Rather than curling up on one of the beach chairs, she can be found lying flat on her stomach, scrawling on a piece of paper. Peeking over her shoulder will reveal the start of a short list: singing, dancing, painting, strawberries and cream birthday cake. A couple of her belongings are piled next to her. One is a book that doesn't look like anything from the library. The pages are turned to a full spread illustration of an eyeless monster with wings.

Fio keeps peeking at the book, using it as a reference. She's hard at work scribbling her own version of the monster on the side of her work in progress list. Her childish scribbling isn't quite as polished as the original, but she's doing her best... ]


■ D. Wildcard

[ Have a different idea? Toss me anything here or PM me! Feel free to change the current prompts to better suit your needs. As mentioned in the notes section, Fio is back from her canon update. You can see more information in the comments section of her application. ]
configuration_birdwatcher: Bastion tilting their head to the camera's left (headtilt)

A, sports deck

[personal profile] configuration_birdwatcher 2023-11-21 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Bastion's just finished watering their garden of potted plants. It's been a long time since they've spoken to Fio, at least at more length than a few words. They were new to the ship then, and thought her plush companions were... alive isn't accurate, that's for biological entities, but self-willed. Before they knew that everyone arrived on the ship alone and only the Erda could change that. ]

[ Bastion tilts their head in confusion as Fio wraps her hands around theirs and smiles up at them. It's still strange and disconcerting to be directly confronted with the concept that humans value their presence. Still, they've gone almost 16 months without lethally overreacting to something harmless or getting thrown overboard by a mob of humans. That must count for something. They squelch the outright disbelief, but their audio tone still sounds puzzled. ] // Really? What's happening?

// Hi Fio. [ Waving doesn't work with the end of their manipulator arm occupied, so instead they bob their hand firmly up and down in her grasp, like a formal human greeting. ]
