001 [TEXT]

It seems to me we are beyond the point of customary introductions, so I'll err on the side of brevity and attempt to get straight to the essential details of this message. My inquiry is simple. How many of you were capable of certain feats in your home universes that you are now unable to perform? Specifics are helpful, but not necessary. I understand this issue might be very personal, in which case I assure you that anything we discuss will remain in full confidence.

Please do not trouble yourselves if you cannot enlighten me regarding the situation. The elaborate ins and outs of paradox space are admittedly vexing, but any information is appreciated. I have been told that I was here once before, but I am sorry to say I don't remember it. Apologies if you were at all friendly with my apparent other self.

Barring that, I consider myself a fan of a great many conversation topics, so it should not be difficult to find an alternative conference. We can discuss our interests, or what we enjoy doing in our spare time, or which department is most worth joining. Perhaps we will even find that we share an intellectual pursuit or two.

I'll go first. My name is Rose Lalonde. Some of you may have already met my brother and his avian counterpart. I enjoy literature and knitting, and I am exceedingly pleased to make your collective acquaintance.

konoe still can

[A minute goes by before he realizes she probably has no idea who Konoe is, whoops. Clarification text, go--]

my partner. others too. but no one has had enough power to do something like destroy the ship with magic

i am not sure if the ship is what takes things from people

[But he's not ruling out the possibility altogether either, and that's a disconcerting thought.]

it can give you things too. but i can't remember if it ever gave people their powers back. just real things that you can hold in your hands

you still have a weapon? a sword?
walksonrooftops: (confident)

[Dave with swords? Count that up as another thing he didn't know about. He's learning a lot today.]

i have not met anyone else on the ship who fights with needles.

although, i used to know someone who could use them, and she was very strong


[A compliment! And not one given without good reason, the way he sees it.]
walksonrooftops: (distrustful)

[personal profile] walksonrooftops 2013-03-26 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
you are dave's sister so i do not think you will do it, but if you use them against someone for no good reason then i will not let you get away with it. ever

[From compliments to threats like it's not big deal, but it's a precaution he figures he might as well take, just in case she turns out to be radically different from Dave.

A cat can never be too suspicious.]

i am not worried. there are many people on this ship who try to keep things from happening. i am one of them too

but even though you and dave use words that don't make sense i do not want to be up against you. so that is why.
walksonrooftops: (ah?)

[personal profile] walksonrooftops 2013-03-27 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
not everyone is. but we are, you and dave and me

i forgot to say before but my name is asato


[And maybe he should add a little about his interests like she proposed to begin with, but it takes a second and comes in a separate text.]

i like to be in the gardens
walksonrooftops: (smile)

[personal profile] walksonrooftops 2013-03-27 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
yes i know my way around the gardens very well. i can show you around them so you don't get lost

and i help with things there sometimes too, but the gardening part is hard so netherlands does that
walksonrooftops: (curious)

[personal profile] walksonrooftops 2013-03-28 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
no i am security

[This one takes a little longer, simply because the content's slightly tougher to put into words. And he's a slow typer, so bear with him....]

it is not very bad usually. i have to patrol for half a day.

sometimes it's dangerous. but it is my job to keep other people safe and if that's dangerous then that is just how it is. i like it enough that i do not want to quit
walksonrooftops: (hopeful)

[personal profile] walksonrooftops 2013-03-30 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
it is also difficult sometimes. but i want to do everything i can to help make sure the people here are safe

you do not have to be in security to do that but it helps because there are teams and things like that.
walksonrooftops: (i see)

[personal profile] walksonrooftops 2013-03-31 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
each department has good and bad things about it. maybe it would be good to look at all of them first and then decide which one you think is best

although i don't regret joining security. i do not want to switch to something else
