Who: Commander and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide Voice
Action: Casino
When: 5/24, evening

[You can hear the sounds of the casino around him.]

Two questions. One; what's your favorite fruit flavor? Two; what's your world like?

[ That gets a chuckle. ] As far as fruit goes, it would appear that we do.

It is... energy inside all beings. What one uses to create magic.

... I see. And you... do magic.

Yes, more than one practice. Not everyone can do as such or have the internal reserves, but aether is everywhere.

Another thing I've noticed for many worlds aside from my own is that hyur tend to be the most prevalent—or even the only—human race.

... Yeah, most places I've heard about seem to have humans be dominant. Your world's different, though?

In Eorzea alone, there are five human races. Roegadyn, elezen, hyur, miqo'te and lalafell. What you would simply call humans are hyur to us. I myself am miqo'te.

... Huh.

[so she's not what he would call human, is what he thinks.]

Any way I could convince you to show me?

Oh, that would take little work. I merely responded in kind to the original message.

[ That said, she has the video on soon. It's set upon the kitchen table of the Caprine and she steps back to do a small circle. Her ears are in full view and the tail is an obvious thing one should want to see if they're only used to hyur. She's learning! ]

Is that enough?

... Huh. So you have... animal features.

[He's not calling her a cat-girl at least]

[ Well, there's that. ]

They are features of hunters, regardless of man or animal. What sort of world is it where only hyur live?

A lot of us live in worlds like that, it looks like. They're all different. In mine, there are... people who aren't what we call human, but they look like it. They have some terrifying power.

What sort of terrifying power would that be?

[ She's reminded of Iceheart, but doubts that the similarity truly rests there. What sort of foe does this man face? ]

The power to wipe out entire military bases single-handed.

[ SOUNDS LIKE... HER OWN POWER... Ahem. ]

You are amidst a war with such beings?

Not particularly. They're just... greedy. We can't really control when or where they strike, and it doesn't happen often. It's... complicated.

Such complications are not for such impersonal communication as this.

[ She gets ya, bro. ]

Irregardless, that sort of power would be enough to frighten anyone. That may not yet mean they are inhuman.

They are by my world's standards. I'm not sure they would be by yours.

If someone of such nature were to arrive here, I wonder whose standards they would be held to?

Their own. I don't think they consider themselves human.

Ah, I believe I see now. Yet you are not frightened by those who are different. That's good.

Nothing good comes from fearing what you don't understand.

That is part of my own philosophy. Fear is natural, but allowing it to rule does nothing but create terror.

You have a good head on your shoulders, then. What's your name? And.. is there something I should call you specifically, in your world?

As do you. My name is O'danya Mitnu, and I suppose it depends on what you mean by that. My rank is Second Lieutenant in the Grand Company which I've enlisted. Does that answer?
