[Today there's a blue fish lady onscreen. She ROARS and slams a conjured lance through the nearest table, splitting it in half. Poor hospitality deck, it never asked for this. She grabs the spear and looks at the console with a discerning yellow eye. The other eye is covered by an eyepatch and a bit of red hair.]

No one captures me. Not unless they have a DEATH WISH!

[She brandishes her spear with a twirl and shoves it solidly into the floor. Her grin shows jagged sharky teeth, and it nearly splits her face in half. Is she making you uneasy? Good.]

It's been a while since I had a real fight. Come out of hiding, cowards! I'll show you why I was made captain of the Royal Guard!

[A captain in... a muscle tank and skinny jeans, sure. Whatever.]

Comments

[resnipstance]

[That gets an amused smile.]

Yeah, humans are basically everywhere. You get used to it.

I grew up on a planet called Coruscant, if you've heard of it. ["If you've heard of it." Never will that stop being weird. Where she's from, Coruscant is the center of the universe. Literally.] But my home planet is called Shili.

You should get assigned to a ship soon. After that, we can spar all you like!

[fishwife]

Never heard of it. I'm from the Underground, which is on Earth. Just underground or whatever. [tbh Coruscant sounds like a kind of pastry.]

It'd better be soon or I'll break my way out of here. Then no one will be happy. Except ME! [A laugh.]

What's your name?

[resnipstance]

Yeah, good luck with that. I was on that stupid ship for weeks and I couldn't break out. And not for lack of trying, either. They really don't want us going anywhere.

I'm Ahsoka. Ahsoka Tano! And you are...?

[fishwife]

I never give up. I'll find a way out sooner or later!

[She'll probably get transported and call it a success.]

Undyne. Nice to meet ya, Ahsoka. So. What do you think of space?

[resnipstance]

[Sadly, Ahsoka is a tough customer when it comes to space. Space travel has been a thing in her galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years, and she's spent half her life traveling across the galaxy here and there. To Ahsoka, the question is a bit like asking "What do you think of the sky?"]

Oh. Um. It's very... space-like?

[Was that the right answer?]

[fishwife]

[It's okay, Ahsoka... you tried.]

... Right. Well, this is my first time. I kind of expected... more?

[resnipstance]

More?

There's like a billion billion star systems out there. How much more do you want?

[fishwife]

... Giant robots? Princesses with special powers? Girls in swimsuits? Epic space battles?

Instead I got like... noodles and goop, and a view of a planet I can't even get to!

[resnipstance]

Well, I don't know about the other things, but you'll definitely get your fill of epic space battles if you stick around long enough.

[fishwife]

[But WHEN.]

Even if that didn't sound appetizing, I don't really have a choice.

Have there been battles before? What were they like? You gotta tell me everything!

[resnipstance]

I got here just after the last one, so I didn't see it myself. But I've been in plenty back home.

[fishwife]

[She rests her chin in her hands, peering at the camera expectantly.]

What else am I gonna do, benchpress the beds two hundred more times?

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka shrugs and makes a little "Iunno" sound.]

There's always meditating...?

[Ahsoka, why would you suggest something you yourself hate.]
