Who: Krista Kingsley
Broadcast: Text post, open to everyone!
Action: n/a
When: Dec 6, whatever constitutes "the evening"

[she's been doing some thinking, and... after Accord, she wonders if she should even be bothering to hide herself from the enemies she may or may not have. the whole "intergalactic space show" seems pretty far-removed from her usual reality, after all. so, might as well throw this out and see if anyone starts snooping or, you know, flipping their shit.]

Hey, when everyone's got a minute, can you let me know a couple of things? Part 1: Is "Kithain" a familiar term? If not, have you ever heard of "fairies"? Part 2: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much magic do you know about in your world? 1 is you kind of freaking out at the idea that magic could even actually exist, and 10 being that you can't imagine living your everyday life without it.

[ What a cute... ]

Hello. I'm Cecil Harvey. I'm... something called a Lunarian where I'm from. Or, my father was, making me half.

Oh... [a short pause.] That doesn't have anything to do with turning into a wolf by the light of the full moon, does it?

[ L-LAUGH... ]

No, no... Lunarians are a technologically and magically advanced race of people from one of our moons, is all. I've been told by others that our aura is perceived as.... something divine.

Oh, okay. That's... probably way better. Just thought I'd ask...

[she clears her throat--again, doing nothing for her whispery voice.]

I'm, um, Krista Kingsley... But my fae name is Sir, so you're welcome to call me whichever. I don't mind.

"Sir"?

[ Well, that's new. ]

There isn't one you prefer over the other?

Yeah. I, um, I know it sounds like sir, like you're calling me a guy or something, but it's actually my name. It's kind of funny when I get called "Miss Sir" at really fancy parties and stuff.

[for being one of the fae, she sure doesn't exude much... otherworldly grace or confidence. she really seems like a normal, awkward teenager.]

But I guess all my friends called me Krista, so... I'm really fine with either.

[ Cecil is really just charmed by the girl's down-to-earth personality. She chuckles softly at the anecdote, then comes to a decision. ]

All right. How about Krista then? If you're hoping to keep the truth of your nature mostly a secret, it could be good for that purpose too. Your fae name might raise some eyebrows now and again.

...Okay. That makes the most sense, yeah. [she smiles again...!] It's... nice to meet you, fellow secretive magic user.

It's nice to meet you as well. Have you been with us long?

Um... Here? I guess I've been around for a mooonth and a half?

Ah, so quite a while... My apologies for not greeting you sooner. I... fell rather ill last month.

[ Her tone is a little resentful when she mentions being sick, her voice going terse and sharp, but it's fleeting at least. ]

I hope you're adjusting well enough here.

Oh man, you and like, everyone. It was going around...

[she, thankfully, missed the entire thing. she was busy being new.]

I think I'm doing good. This place is kind of already nicer than the last place I was at. Mind you, that's because the last place was full of sand, but that's neither here nor... there...

Mm.

[ She nods. Man, she is envious. ]

I'm glad that you weren't here in time to be infected. It... probably would have wreaked havoc on you like it did the rest of us... ah, not-quite-humans.

I don't doubt it. I will absolutely consider myself as lucky.

Did you happen to hear anything about the details of it, by the way? I was a bit too under the weather to really gather much information.

Nah, I missed it. I was busy integrating with my new crew...

Ah, understandable. Which ship are you on? I don't think I've asked that yet.
