[It's not just that Cassie's bored of this sci-fi bullshit already-- though she is. She also wants to get the lay of the land. And hey, someone might find it as funny as she does.]

Comments

[supfirehawk]

Yeah, but they weren't very good at it. Idiots would go on about 'witchcraft' and try to attack me.

[in_the_blood]

[Wow. WAY too close to Cassie's life.]

wow, rude.





... are you a witch though?

[supfirehawk]

I prefer the term Siren.

[in_the_blood]

what's that mean? if you don't mind my asking.

[supfirehawk]

It means I'm one of six women in the universe born with blue tattoos and bitchin' powers.

[in_the_blood]

one of only six?

that's amazing... but also really sad.

[supfirehawk]

Yeah, well... I'm used to it.

[in_the_blood]

that doesn't make it all right.

[supfirehawk]

[and suddenly all this talk about her has become a little too personal. Time to turn the tables.]

What's your story?

[in_the_blood]

me?

... i don't really have any especially interesting story. i'm just your regular, run-of-the-mill high school student from the 21st century.

sorry.

[supfirehawk]

Just about everyone I've talked to seems to be from that century.

[in_the_blood]

yeah. it's pretty popular huh. makes you wonder why.

i wonder if a lot of earths have an apocalypse soon after the 21st or something, and that's why we have less people from further ahead than that.

[supfirehawk]

I thought by then people would have branched off beyond Earth. At least before an apocalypse would hit.

[in_the_blood]

idk about that. the earth that i live on at least, it's gonna be a couple of hundred years more at minimum before we're ready to send large amounts of the populace into outer space.

[supfirehawk]

But you guys have gotten into space, right?

[in_the_blood]

oh, yeah. we've had astronauts land on the moon and we've sent space probes out to other planets. but that's about it. we can't even get astronauts out to planets other than the moon yet, let alone normal people.

and let's face it, the earth's moon is not exactly hospitable in terms of hosting life forms. or rather, none of our surrounding planets in our solar system are, really.

[supfirehawk]

I wouldn't know, I haven't been there. Pandora's not exactly hospitable, but people make do out there. You'd be surprised what they can put up with.

[in_the_blood]

"Pandora" huh. That's kind of an ominous name for Earth. The box from which all evil springs...

[supfirehawk]

That's a pretty good description of the place.

[in_the_blood]

wait, seriously??

[supfirehawk]

It's pretty chaotic there, yeah. I wouldn't recommend going unless you know how to handle yourself in a gun fight.

[in_the_blood]

huh. wow. not for me, then...

[supfirehawk]

Yeah, I get the feeling it's not the kind of lifestyle people here are used to.
