Video, the questions you have

[acapriciousthing]

[The video feed shows a very pale face in a rather dim room. A popular solution, most likely.]

There are some things I'll never understand about this ship. How it can make people sick without a stomach.

[THere's a grimace and her next comment is directed down toward her lap.]

Ow, Rincewind, claws.

[She looks back at the camera]

The other being how they can enhance these feelings when I don't have nerves.

[Seriously, having to be so mortal is getting annoying!]

Would it be rude to ask what you are? If so, ignore me.

The ship does what it wants when it wants. It can make us think things and feel them. Someone in my class did a report on PTSD and the after-effects of war. After someone loses a part of their body or has it amputated, sometimes they can still feel it there. So, it's like that.

You're in sensory overload, too?

[acapriciousthing]

That probably is at least part of the answer, isn't it?

[It's not rude. She sometimes considers wearing a sign to explain it.]

I'm an anthropomorphic personification.

Yeah. Sometimes being mortalish is a bit annoying.

Mortalish?

Like a poltergeist?

[ That's slightly nicer than trying to compare her to a boggart or dementor, okay. ]

[acapriciousthing]

[Well. That's a new one.]

Nothing like a poltergeist. A fundamental aspect of the universe given humanlike shape.

I'm somewhere between human and what I should be, here.

Apparently more on the human side of sensory overload.

v possible

[acapriciousthing]

There aren't many things I can't influence about myself. But they're one of them.

Apparently. Can I ask what you should be or is that overstepping?

[ Sounds like a poltergeist to him, given that he has no idea other worlds might have their own versions, except— ]

I guess calling mischief fundamental would be giving it too much credit. What does qualify?

Text

[acapriciousthing]

Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium.

Mischief is more than covered by the younger ones.

I'm an anthropomorphic personification. I've never seen a need to hide that.

[ The younger ones—hello, you are fascinating. ]

Family gatherings must be a delight.

Is there only one of you for each aspect?

... A personification?

[endureandsurvive]

2 bad u cant just take them out

[acapriciousthing]

I tried to walk through them, the first day

[acapriciousthing]

They're always memorable.

Only one at any given time. If one of them dies, they're replaced by a new aspect of the same concept.

[acapriciousthing]

An idea given humanlike form.

No, I know what... that means. I just, I'm used to Animal Farm and, and -- what are you, personified?

Death.

[She's learned that people need some time for that one to sink in. So she waits before saying anything else.]

Not on duty here.
