Tell me something interesting about you or your world, Tranquility.

[She's bored and needs entertainment.]

And I mean interesting by the way.

[helpmeguideit]

The fact that there's nothing interesting could, in itself, be deemed interesting.

Hello, Bela.

audio.

[onsilksheets]

I think you're deliberately holding back on me, Charles.

[She sounds amused.]

But anyway, hello. How are you doing?

Voice

[bailedontheempire]

[Yeah, he'll tell you about Alderaan. Alderaan is awesome.]

Unlike most major galactic centers, Alderaan is not heavily urbanize. We build our cities on cliff faces and on stilts in seas in order to leave the environment undisturbed.

Audio

[ridesthesun]

I can think of several moons that are actually close enough to the planet they orbit to allow animals to migrate between them without difficulty.

[What? Xenobiology is fun.]

audio.

[helpmeguideit]

Am I? Nothing to really hold back on, Bela.

[ He sounds amused, too, really. ]

I have seen better days. How are you, darling?

[corp]

We live with dinosaurs.

[ex_inventive578]

Everything about me is interesting. I don't do the boring bits. You'll have to be more specific.

video.

[onsilksheets]

Someone thinks very highly of themselves. [She's amused.] All right. First thing that pops into your head then. Is that specific enough?

audio.

[onsilksheets]

I'm not too bad. No real complaints.

[Definitely a good thing in her book.]

Why, what's wrong? What happened to you?

Voice

[onsilksheets]

Isn't that considerate, if a little dangerous to do. Unless of course you have a very solid foundation for the cities to be built upon but I digress.

Alderaan is a planet?

Audio

[onsilksheets]

Well, that is interesting. I'm afraid that I can't say the same about my own universe. [A pause.] What are these animals like, the ones that migrate?

text.

[onsilksheets]

If you're referring to the ship itself, I knew that already.

What about you in particular?

audio.

[helpmeguideit]

That's good to hear.

I went home briefly during the last jump.

text.

[corp]

I meant at home, but yeah. That was a lie. My home is really kinda average. I'm really kinda average. Sucks, huh.

audio.

[onsilksheets]

Bad trip home?

[Rather than tip toeing around it Bela just asks.]

audio.

[helpmeguideit]

It could have been much better.

text.

[onsilksheets]

Maybe you shouldn't sell yourself short. You've managed to survive on a dangerous spaceship that has the potential to kill you, That counts for something, yeah?

text.

[corp]

I'm good at hiding. I like hiding here. Hiding is fun.

text.

[kringlefuck]

Everything tried to eat me and 400 something-nother years in the future the world was taken over by an evil alien fish princess!
Is that rather interesting? There were also 10 foot spiders where i came from!

text.

[onsilksheets]

[Just give her a few moments to process that onslaught of information before responding.]

In your case I think the word 'interesting' is an understatement. Screwed-up would be a lot more apt.

I do have a question though. How do you know what happens in the future of your world? Did someone tell you or are you a psychic?

audio.

[onsilksheets]

Are you worse off there than here?

text.

[onsilksheets]

I've hidden before. Wouldn't say it was exactly fun but it's kept me alive.

What's your name?

Audio

[ridesthesun]

I've gathered from a lot that my universe has some...oddities not in other worlds, so I can't say I'm surprised.

But what are they like? Well, they range from small birds to twenty meter long flying super-predators that are capable of withstanding missile blasts. [She laughs faintly.] Fortunately, those are relatively rare.

text.

[kringlefuck]

I say its exciting! The spiders were especially fascinating even when they wrapped you up in a web!

Ummmm.
My friend told me and was trying to convince me for the longest. I feel rather bad for not believing him soon enough but his technology is advanced to where he can instant message me in the past. We met on the internet.

text.

[onsilksheets]

I wouldn't exactly call it fascinating.

[There's a momentary pause between texts as Bela reads over again what he replied with.]

Just so I have this correct: You met your friend via the internet and he's centuries ahead of you and able to contact you despite the time difference? You'll understand if I say that sounds completely ludicrous.
