It could be argued that Zelda needed the sleep provided by a coma and perhaps indeed she did. Whatever the case, she wakes on what is, unbeknownst to her, the second day of a rather mind-bending flood. Slow to rise, she feels drowsy and heavy-limbed and maybe even a little euphoric in a strange way.

Three steps out into the hallway and she knows something odd is certainly afoot, but nevertheless she continues to the dining hall because she is, naturally, absolutely famished. The sea of unfamiliar faces she's met with is... unsettling, to say the least, enough that she packs up a plate and heads back to her own room to eat without even so much as a glance toward the table where her sister usually leaves those scrumptious desserts.

Network - Video
[ Addled enough to forget her manners, Zelda is already well into her dinner when the video begins, a half-eaten roll visible in her hand and her lipstick ever so slightly smudged. ]

I've just woken from what I believe to be some sort of spell, though I haven't the faintest idea who might have cursed me---and I would be much more concerned about that if not for the fact that I've just been to the dining hall and found it full of strangers.

[ Having no idea how long she was asleep, it has just in this moment occurred to her that the ship could have potentially experienced a total turnover in personnel. Her expression changes; there is clear panic in her eyes, and in her voice when she speaks next: ]

Has anyone seen my sister?!

Private to Hilda - Voice

[ She sounds frantic, undone and still utterly annoyed all at once:]

Hildegard Antoinette Spellman, answer me at once. I've just woken up, I've no idea what in the name of Lucifer is going on aboard this ship but I--- [and her voice breaks then, uncharacteristically so] I need to know you're still here, please...

[The voice is male, British and coolly amused. ]

Take a breath, Zelda. No use in getting the vapours over nothing, is there?

As far as I've known it, you never had a sister. It was Edward, then you, then me.

For one thing, I am your bloody brother. It's Hildebrand, Zelda.

[SIGH.]

You haven't called me that since we were children, Zelda. I really do prefer Antoine.

If you were cursed, I could...tell, probably.

Well - yes, but so could I.

Open your door a little bit, and say my name.

It's probably something more like a coma? Unless you mean what's happening right now.

[For a mercy, Tesla looks completely normal even despite the flood.]
vampere: (this?  this is the future.)

[video]

[personal profile] vampere 2019-08-18 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
It just happens here, sometimes.

[Which is probably not a very helpful answer, even if it is the truth.]
vampere: (bah and also humbug)

[video]

[personal profile] vampere 2019-08-23 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, yes.

[And without warning too, which he almost considers to be worse.]

Or at least, there doesn't seem to be a discernible pattern to it.

[ The blond man who replies is wearing a fuchsia suit with a leopard-print tie and a gold lamé shirt.]

It's a flood, gorgeous lady. The version of you I know doesn't have a sister. But I know I'm not the version belonging to this barge, so she'll probably be back soon.

I expect you could do with a drink, right?

Wildthyme's Law, Rule Number One: Always bring a bottle.

[ Hilary pulls an unopened bottle of peach vodka out of his suit pocket, and flashes it for the camera. ]

We can drink it somewhere private, or I can take you to the Lounge. According to the lady's preference.
routemaster: (i'm beautiful and you know it)

[personal profile] routemaster 2019-08-21 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Hilary knocks on Hilda's door a few minutes later. He's brought the vodka bottle, and a jug of lemonade to mix it with - real lemonade, in which he's floated fresh mint sprigs. He has clearly found time to nip out on his bus for a few minutes, because he's also brought a large cardboard box from Maison Bertaux in Soho.

It's not Hilda's baking, but it's pretty damn good.
