[Persons on or passing by Deck 12 might notice the Valei woman standing outside her room, the door wide open and a troubled look on her face. She paces back and forth, evidently bothered and continues to look from inside the room to the hallway outside. After a pause, she vanishes inside, moving carefully and when she returns, it's with a leap that she lands back on deck.

Comm in her hand, Vie clicks it on.]

Everyone, it's been a long while since I've spoken. For that I am sorry.

[Get to the point Vie.]

Are any of you having issues with your sleeping quarters? Mine appears to of ah... half vanished. The left side of my room is gone, entirely, taking with it half of my bed and a rather large amount of my things.

[Things that shall be mourned once she figures out what the hell is going on and if anyone else is having an issues.]

Stay safe.

[Click.]

Maybe it's not so ugly to someone else. But eh... I'm not sure how I feel about lime green and pink stripes.

[He waits - a little concerned at the pause. Don't do anything stupid, woman.]

Oh, da. You might.

[Small pause. Vie laughs a little.]

That does sound hideous. Perhaps it's loss is... not such a bad thing.

[There's a loud thud. Vie just failed to reach one of the books on her shelf and the damn thing hit the ground. She breathes a frustrated sigh.]

Thanks, Sanya. I appreciate it.

No, not so bad. Maybe they'll replace it with a better one.

[A pause - you can almost hear him staring at the comm.]

What... was that?

Just a book. I'm ah...

[How to say this without making him worry...]

I'm in the process of retrieving what I can from what's left of my room.

Is that a good idea?

...Probably not.

[She'll admit that much.]

While I'll accept that my quarters are no longer useful, there are items I am not leaving without.

[Her daggers, Godric's notes, whatever books she can save.]

Then you should be careful.

[Pause.]

Very careful.

[Her voice takes on a softer edge.]

Don't worry, Sanya. Before this ship I did this kind of thing for a living. Teetering on the edge of a cliff face isn't much different to this. I'll not fall.

Ah, but it is my job to worry about fair ladies when they are on boats breaking to pieces.

[He chuckles a little.]

Da, I will not come to rescue you from nothing. Promise. But you will call if maybe you find something you did not do for living.

[And this is why Sanya is, and always will be, one of Vie's favorite people on the boat. She laughs as well, quiet and thoughtful.]

You're ah... welcome to come have a look, if you wish? I need to search this deck for a bag of some sort else carrying all of this might prove difficult.

Ohhh... I am seeing how it is. You need someone to do the heavy lifting. You need mule.

[But, he really doesn't sound upset by this - amused, as usual.]

[Vie cracks up laughing. It's good to be laughing. She's a little unnerved by recent events.]

Those are your words, not mine. I merely invited you to come see the state of things for yourself and mentioned that I might need a bag.

[Her tone is playful.]

[Sanya approves of laughter. Either you laugh, or you go mad from all the bad things in the world. Or drink vodka.]

Oh, I see now. I am mistaken. Must be lack of practice in English.

[Yeah she's still giggling... and still climbing around what's left of her room and searching for books and texts and whatever else she can salvage. When she leaves, she won't take much, but better to get what she can out of the room before it disappears completely.]

We should talk more and fix that.

[Small pause.]

Are you coming or not?

Da, that... would be good.

[He inhales slowly, like he's trying to think very hard about this.]

Hm. Not sure. Maybe I should open this door, and find out.

[Knock knock 8D]

[That... should not surprise her like it does. Give her a moment to step towards the door and slowly swing it open.]

I should have expected that.

[Hey Sanya, check out the void that's eaten half her room. Cool huh? Vie has her blades and a few books in her hands. Once she gets them outside the room, she'll be back inside to rummage around for a certain scrap of paper.]

[He beams at her in greeting, only to pause and frown at the rest of the room. That's... definitely abnormal. And, considering everything Sanya's seen, that's saying something.]

It really is gone...

[He steps inside, one hand on the hilt of Esperacchius. Just in case. Hey, you never know when a holy sword is going to come in handy.]

... Has it gotten bigger? Or is is just... eh... sitting there? Being nothing?

Just... being nothing, I think. It's bizarre. I've never seen anything like it.

[She steps towards him, making to pass but placing an affectionate hand on his arm as she goes.]

Be careful.

I have seen very much... but never a room-eating nothing before.

[And in true man-fashion, he sort of looks around the room for a lamp or something to poke at the nothingness with. Her hand makes him look up a little, though, and he smiles.]

I will be. No problem with that.

[That smile earns one in return. Vie leans her head on his arm for a brief moment before continuing on her way. She wants to find a bag, after all.]

Good. I'm not sure I would forgive myself if something happened to you.

[There's a lamp on the desk for Sanya to take advantage of. Vie didn't like it much, but it provided good lighting for reading.]

[He has to suppress the urge to drape an arm around her at that - she's busy, after all.]

I stubbed my toe yesterday. I hope that doesn't count.

[He steps over to the desk lamp, picking it up to test its weight. It seems workable. Going to a bit of nothing, he jabs the lamp into it experimentally... and pulls back half a lamp.]

... Do not go near the nothing.

[Had he of done it, she would have returned the embrace quite willingly. Vie's doing her best not to show how freaked out she is. She's a good liar when she wants to be.

At his first words, she laughs from outside. At the second, Vie looks back inside, expression serious.]

I thought I said to be careful. Sanya... please.

[Yeah totally not worrying her head off over here.]

[He looks fairly sober himself. This is not good. If all the spots are like this...]

I am. That is why there is half a lamp. Instead of half a me.

[He glances back at her.]

We should get going.

[That half of lamp would explain the half of a book she found earlier.]

And go where? From the talk I've heard this room isn't the only one to vanish.

Find a room that is not vanish.

[He spreads his hands, as if this answer should be obvious.]
