Got a Mind Like Swiss Cheese

[hollystrike]

Who: Katie and you
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Vanquish, Iskaulit
When: 25th June onwards

[You'd think she'd reach out to let people know she was okay.  What a jerk.

Instead, running into Katie might be an accidental thing.  She's either curled up in her room on the Vanquish (her actual room, not the personnel office), patting Licorice absently and not sure why the poor cat sounds so distressed...

...or the jumbled pieces of memory she has eventually lead her to the Iskaulit, exploring most places in the vain hopes it will fill in the gaps.

Run into her anywhere.  She's not staying put in any one place unless someone gets her attention, but moving through in a slow sort of way, wrapped in the warmest coat she has.  Except for one point where she passes her reflection and stares for a while.]

...

When did I get so old...?

[ The camera opens up on... Escha's little white hat on top of her head! But with a quiet, sheepish laugh, she adjusts the angle to her actual face. With a smile, she sits back, and waves at the camera. ]

Hi, everyone! I'm Escha, and, well, I'm still a little new here, so I don't know many of you - but for anyone who doesn't know, I'm an alchemist!

[ Which might be... slightly obvious, considering that in the video shot, you can see that she's surrounded by books, scattered notes (and pens), a few flasks filled with liquids, some jars full of items... Also, specifically, there are a few masks on the table beside her that she bought planetside, and a whole rack full of corked test tubes, with Mist inside. ... Yep, Escha went down there and scooped that Mist into test tubes. ]

And, well, I've been really curious about this mist on the planet! They use it like a fuel source, so I'd love to see if I can use it for some of the same things! And, even if I can't, maybe it has other properties that would be beneficial? I know it makes people... sick... [ Putting it lightly, much?? ] so maybe there's something I can make to help with that? Or! At the very least! Maybe I can improve on these mask designs using some other things we have that maybe the planet doesn't?

[ A pause... and then another sheepish laugh, and an embarrassed (but sincere) smile. ]

I'm sorry for rambling, I just got a little carried away with my enthusiasm. Anyway! If anyone has any ideas, or wants to help me, let me know! Maybe if we work together, we can figure out a whole lot more about this mist and this planet!
