Who: Kotoha and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On The Marsiva, if you wish
When: Right now!

[ The video feed clicks on, and she's squinting into the camera until she's sure it's working - then, she sits back with a soft smile and a nod of her head. ]

Ahh, looks like I'm the newbie here! Hello everyone. It sure is a lot to take in - I'm suddenly in space, all by myself, no idea how I got here... Oh, but I figured some things out just watching the broadcast! Not enough, probably. [ Shrug~ ] I'll try not to ask too many questions, I promise~

This big ship is so... quiet. So, isn't there anyone to talk to out there? I'm Kotoha.

[ Suddenly, her eyes flash green. She sticks out her tongue, and it sparks with electricity. ]

Shortcut: Flower!!

[ Out of nowhere, there's now a beautiful white flower in her hand. She holds it near the camera, like she's offering it to whoever is watching, and she does this with a grin and a wink! ]

It's nice to meet everyone.

video... even though he's there too

[ Genos is set with a serious face, and the background of the Marsiva as he responds to her. It hasn't taken him long to get used to this sort of communication—it's pretty similar to what he's used to already. ]

What is your tongue made out of?

[maschinenpistole]

[ ... Okay she can't resist. ]

Muscle!

[ Straight face, small smile~ ]

[enhances]

[ ... well, it looks like he's accepting that answer with an equally straight face.

Though his isn't even a little of a joke. ]

It conducts electricity? And you can create the image of a flower from it?

[maschinenpistole]

Ah, it's real!

[ She plucks one of the leaves off of its stem, spins it between the pads of her thumb and finger. ]

You're on the same ship I am, right? [ She recognizes that shiny, pristine backdrop, yo. ] I could show you.

[enhances]

[ He considers it for a moment before deciding that yes, it was something he'd rather see in person. Isn't that always the way to see powers? He'd never have fully understood the extent of his teacher's power just from hearing about it through a screen.

(Instead, he challenged him to a sparring session. He's not going to do that this time.) ]

Give me your location and I'll be there soon.

[my oh my]

Most newcomers aren't quite so...self-assured, I have to admit.

[maybe 'charming' would be a better word. Or at least an equally descriptive one.]

[maschinenpistole]

[ oh hello...!

She shakes her head, but she's keeping up that grin - even if it does soften a bit. ]

I can understand that! Just... I guess I'd rather talk to people than panic on my own. You know? Working together is usually the better idea.

[incousinswithyou]

And one generally makes a better first impression that way.

[who knows what Michiru is thinking] I'm Kaioh Michiru. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[manners first, in any case.]

[maschinenpistole]

[ No one knows, ever. Alas. ]

I hoped as much! And the pleasure is mine, Michiru-san!

May I ask - how long have you been part of this fleet?

[acuition]

[ She's switching between looking at Kotoha and the flower, and even if her voice is relatively level, there's definitely some interest there. ]

What sort of magic was that?

[maschinenpistole]

[ Kotoha just keeps on grinning. ]

Kotodama! The power of words. I can make things with the words I speak.

[acuition]

I can't say I've seen anything like that before...

What else can you create?

[maschinenpistole]

A lot of things! Hmm... Shortcut: Hammer !! [ Yyyep, there's a hammer~ she waves it around a little. ]

Other things take a lot of description. It's easier to make a flower than it is to make a really specific gun, or something!

[experiencepoints]

[Okay, she was about to try being helpful, And stuff appearing out of thin air isn't even close to weird for her, since she has her inventory. But. Sparking tongue? "Shortcut"? There's only one thing she can even think to say to that:]

What the fuck was that?

[maschinenpistole]

[ She manages not to laugh, but her eyes are definitely shining with amusement~ ]

It's just something I can do - use my words to make things. Have you ever met a kotodama user before?

[experiencepoints]

... Not another one.

[One day, Nightingale is going to have to sit down and try to figure out what the hell is with all these ridiculously broken powers. Why can't her magic do things like that?]

Not by that name, anyway. "Kotodama"?

[maschinenpistole]

Ah? Another one? Huh. What could be another word for a kotodama user...?

[ She taps the flower against her chin, thinking... then shrugs and carries on~ ]

Kotodama is the power of words! It's not all-powerful, but it can be very convenient.

[thebloodseal]

[And Al is watching with interest, because that looks very familiar.]

Wow... was that alchemy?

[maschinenpistole]

[ Ah! Full armor! Wow. It makes her wonder what the need might be - especially out in space... ]

Not alchemy! Just words. I've never seen real alchemy before, actually.

[thebloodseal]

Wow... it looks very similar to alchemy- the kind I'm used to, anyway. So you can conjure things just by words? Is it magic?

[maschinenpistole]

It may as well be! Magic is pretty subjective and variable where I come from... People have all kinds of different abilities. Mine just happens to be the ability to use words to make things. It's pretty convenient~ Most of the time.

[ You've got her curious now, though! ]

What's alchemy like? The kind you know, anyway?

[digthefuzz]

Whoa! [This German blue dude looks impressed.]

That was wicked cool! Awesome!

...Oh, and my name's Kurt, by the way!

[maschinenpistole]

[ Oh, German accent... lovely~ She waves the flower a little bit, still grinning. ]

Ahh, thank you, Kurt! I can do more than flowers, but I thought that might be the best introduction. You know?

[digthefuzz]

Oh, I get what you mean! [He chuckles lightly.]

It's like they say - a magician never reveals her tricks! Or, um, some of them!

Good to meet you though, Kotoha!

[maschinenpistole]

Exactly! Why spoil the fun~? [ Grin! ] It's good to meet you too! Everyone seems pretty okay in this place so far, even if being in space is very, ah, new...
