Re: Network

[cometkin]

Um. Maybe. It kind of feels like the dirt on Monkey Wash goes all the way down.

[neverendingsacrifice]

How very fascinating. My people have not held much faith in gods for quite a long time. Neither have the humans I've met, frankly.

[He's leaning more towards capricious omnipotent being that might seem like a god, he's read the Federation reports on Q.

...so what if they're classified?]

Though I've never been to Earth, so possibly a small sample size is the reason.

[neverendingsacrifice]

[If anyone asks, he simply caught a ride here~

And oh, that is indeed an exquisitely tailored outfit. A tiny bit too extravagant for Garak's personal tastes, but he can certainly appreciate the artistry.]

Ah, an engineer! I'm afraid I don't know much of the art, except as it pertains to my work--and a small amount of expertise with computers.

[Well, that's pretty much a bald-faced lie, he can't fix a warp engine, but he can do a lot more than just repair sewing machines.]

I'm sure we'll have plenty to discuss--I do so appreciate a unique taste in fashion.

[fingersandteeth]

Really? In my time it was still fairly common among humans. My mother was religious and my sister-- well, with her, it was complicated. I never was, though.

I suspect we're from wholly different eras, however, if not different universes altogether.

[He shrugs.]

They call it a god here. It's something powerful, at least.

Where are you from, might I ask?

[neverendingsacrifice]

That is entirely possible, if individuals are brought from any sort of time and place.

[He wonders for a brief moment--Cardassians aren't well-welcomed in many parts of known space, and he supposes there could be someone here that would feel that way, but better to know that now than find out later. It's not like being the lone Cardassian in hostile territory is new for him.]

My homeworld is Cardassia. It's quite far-flung, nearly sixty light-years from Earth. Certainly not a day trip, even if we were...unfortunately a bit less than tolerant of visitors in general.

[fingersandteeth]

Mm. Well, except for Kanto, Johto, and Sevii, I'm afraid that describes a lot of the regions of this world. I suppose people are people, whether from Cardassia or Earth.

But I haven't heard of it before. You-- might be the only person from it here. I'm sorry.

[His voice and expression seem genuinely apologetic.]

Do you want to talk about it? You don't have to, if it would hinder more than it would help.

[neverendingsacrifice]

[Well, no recognition is fine with him. Depending on any other Cardassians here, he could have found a friend, but more likely an enemy. Still, he gives a little sigh, and a shake of his head, acting disappointed.]

It's quite alright, I'm rather used to it.

[He shakes his head.]

I'd rather not, I haven't lived on Cardassia for quite some time. Though I have to say, I now know why humans keep their surroundings so cool and bright. I'm actually rather warm here.

[fingersandteeth]

You'll get used to it, [Steven promises.

He spreads his hands out on the table.]

So. What kinds of things would you like to know about Team Rocket and this world in general?

Entrapta | She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

[firstonesexpert]

I. Olivine City

"Log, day... eight. Seven? No, eight. I have found myself in a city known as Olivine."

The young woman, wearing a welder's mask pushed back off her face, leans against the railing as she talks into her handheld recorder, rather than her Pokegear. Her purple twin ponytails are thick and long, dragging along the ground behind her as the Impidimp with her uses one to scramble up to her shoulder; she doesn't seem bothered by this action whatsoever, even giving the little Fairy a small smile.

"It bears superficial resemblance to the kingdom of Salineas, but otherwise the architecture is aesthetically unlike anything I've encountered on Etheria."

Nonetheless, her tone of voice is excited. She puts both feet on the railing, lifting herself into the air; she's just tall enough that standing on the lowest rung puts her hips higher than the top.

"The predominant species of local creatures, or Pokemon, appears to be Water and Electric types in this area, due to the presences of both the sea and-- oh, hello!"

Her face lights up as a Klink drifts up towards her and away again, and she leans over the railing to stare after it, reaching a hand out to try and pat it--

--and overbalancing over the edge of the Olivine City Lighthouse guard rail with a sharp cry of alarm.

Re: Entrapta | She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

[fingersandteeth]

"Shit!" a voice swears from behind her, strong arms grabbing onto her and pulling her back and up to the other side of the railing, setting her down from the ground.

[firstonesexpert]

There's a sort of panicked noise in her throat as she gets grabbed from behind (and her hair gets all up in Steven's face as he does, sorry pal) - the Impidimp gives off a loud shriek of panic - but Entrapta just looks up at her saviour with a sort of stunned surprise.

Then she beams at him. "Thanks, tall person! Isn't this place just a great vantage point?" Her shoulders bunch cheerfully as she tilts her head - it almost seems like she wants to stick her arms out with delight, but something stops her. "You can see all of Olivine City!"

[fingersandteeth]

"It is," Steven says, looking down at the girl--no, she's a woman, at least Charley's age and possible older, just with a certain... youthful attitude that's heart-breakingly familiar. "Kind of dangerous to be standing on the railing like that, though."

[firstonesexpert]

"Oh, yeah, well." She tilts her head like she's shrugging, but her shoulders don't follow. "I was recording a log, so." She grins again and damn near shoves the thing in Steven's face. "I always make sure to record what I'm doing, you never know when you'll need to look back on your old notes!"

The Impidimp in her hair is gripping into it tightly, and still looks somewhat shaken; but despite this, it's watching Steven warily.

[fingersandteeth]

"Can I listen to it, then?" he asks, before he can quite stop himself. "Ah, your log, I mean. It sounds like it's interesting."

[firstonesexpert]

"Oh." She blinks again, staring blankly for a moment, and then beams. "Oh! Sure! People don't usually wanna hear my notes, so- that's kind of a surprise!"

She hands over the recorder immediately. The Impidimp climbs up her hair and onto her head, looking through the front of Entrapta's mask curiously, before it sits legs splayed and looks back out at the view.

[fingersandteeth]

He rewinds it to the beginning, then sets it to playing. Listens closely. Smiles on occasion, when there's a particularly amusing comment in the narration. Nods to himself from time to time.

Eventually, once it's done playing, he hands it back to her.

"Thank you," he says. "I enjoyed that."

[firstonesexpert]

There's probably a few hours worth of recording there, since she hasn't changed, nor needed to change her recorder just yet. She's grinning at him the entire time, hands bunched into fists at how he's apparently enjoying her notes. Maybe that means he can add to them?

"Thanks!" She takes his back and starts bouncing her hands around as she talks. "I haven't had much of a chance to really engage with all of the technical sides of this place just yet, but the Pokemon have been fascinating! Some of those Steel types look like they're a perfect blend of technology and organic matter, I can't wait to see if one of them will let me examine it more closely!" One hand dips into an unassuming seam that turns out to be a pocket and she whips out an uncovered scalpel with aplomb. "They're incredible!"

[fingersandteeth]

He takes a step back, his eyes flaring wide at the sudden blade. "I'm not sure they'd take well to vivisection if they are organic," he says, phrasing it as a gentle reminder in tone, despite the actual words. "The mechanical ones, maybe."

[firstonesexpert]

"Oh, yeah. You're probably right about that." And the scalpel goes away immediately, with no apparent disruption to the outline of her overalls. She still jazz-hands at him immediately afterwards. "Still! Can't you just imagine the sheer potential that something that's a pure, balanced mix of organic and technological has? I spent my whole life studying this, and I've never even come as close to it as these things just exist as!" And she laughs, a wild and gleeful cackle.

[fingersandteeth]

Steve chuckles with her.

(She's wonderful.)

"I never quite thought of it that way," Steven admits, "but I haven't done much with the mechanical sort of Pokemon. The closest I've come to one of those is my floating magic key-ring. But you're right-- there is potential there, real potential."

She's not Charley. She's older. Too much hair. Shorter. Wrong eyes. But that look of passion in her eyes, that glee in knowing-- they remind him so much of his sister that it takes his breath away.

"I'm Steven," he says, suddenly, realizing he never properly introduced himself.

[firstonesexpert]

"Oh! I'm Entrapta!"

She stands there, gleeful and excited with a light tilt of her head. It takes her a few seconds to remember, with a small noise, and she sticks one hand out to shake. "Technically I'm a princess, but since Dryl doesn't exist I don't imagine I have much authority here."

argh that steve should have been steven

[fingersandteeth]

He takes her hand and gives it a firm shake. "I'm pleased to meet you, Entrapta of Dryl."

And he is. He really and truly is.

[fearinahandfulof]

Human she may be now, but Cassandra still has fast enough reflexes to catch the woman before she falls... though she does find herself missing her old strength keenly as she drags her back onto safe ground. "Are you all right?"

Her Type: Null watches from a short distance away, sparkling in the light.

[firstonesexpert]

"Yeah! I'm fine!" She grins gleefully at the woman holding onto her overall straps, putting her hands on the top railing again. "This place is really tall, isn't the view great?"

There's a shuffling of one giant ponytail, that the woman seems to be ignoring, and an Impidimp pokes out its head and one arm a moment later with a relieved sigh.

[fearinahandfulof]

Cassandra is suddenly and painfully reminded of another young woman with pigtails smiling brightly as she enthusiastically holding forth on some topic or other that Cassandra can no longer quite remember. She forces the memory back; there's no reason to burden this stranger with something like that. "...Yes."

The Type: Null seems to be a bit closer now, although it doesn't appear to have otherwise moved.
