[For someone who looks like she stepped out of some medieval era, Ciri doesn't seem too alarmed by all the space and technology. It's easy enough for her to figure out how to broadcast, and she peers into the camera for a moment before speaking.]

So, two questions: where can I get a sword, and how exactly are my abilities dampened, here? [Because the first thing she tried to do was teleport back to Skellige, only for a whole lot of nothing to happen. Maybe if she didn't have enemies to demolish she'd actually feel some relief about the fact that what makes her a target for so many people is gone.] I can't be the only one. Someone must be very skilled to figure out how to keep that much control over us.

And... one more thing. I don't suppose any of my companions have found themselves here. [She frowns, brow creasing with worry. It's unlikely. She knows how sudden world-hopping works... or doesn't work. Still, she must try.] Geralt? Yennefer? Triss?

[He is so rude.]

Yes.

[A bloodbath on day one is probably a bad idea, though.]

[pneumo]

[ Hey man, if she can do it he'd be impressed.

...Not that he isn't already since she caught onto the fact that he's different awfully fast. Maybe it has something to do with her earlier babbling about 'powers'? ]

What a mess that'd be...! Haha!

[percolates]

Out with it.

[A shame that even if she did take on the title of witcher, she'd never be up to par with Geralt and his mutations. He'd probably have this one figured out within moments--but she's learned much from him, and some of that learning's involved when to kill. Not every monster needs to be slain.

But this one sure is annoying.]

[pneumo]

[ He's easy going. There is a difference! Huff. If he was more like the other vampires he's come across she's surely like him a lot less. They tend to be more on the side of viewing humans as little more than food or fun.

Sascha though is a touch different, and holds his hands up in surrender. ]

I'm Latvian.

[ He says with a straight face. ]

[percolates]

[He's at least prettier than most Ciri's seen. Not that she knows that she's interacting with anything like one.]

What's that?

[Different worlds, different monsters? Of course.]

[pneumo]

[ Oh my god that is hideous DON'T COMPARE HIM TO THAT. That's rude. So rude. ]

......Latvian? As in, from Latvia?? [ What different worlds no one told him about different worlds. ]

[percolates]

[She shakes her head.]

I'm not familiar with Latvia.

[pneumo]

But...it's Latvia.

[ Sascha of course isn't from there (that he knows), has never been there (that he knows), but come on. It has such a cool name--who doesn't know Latvia these days?? ]

[percolates]

Saying it again doesn't make me know it any more than I did a moment ago.

[The more he talks, the more she sees he's no threat...]

[pneumo]

[ He's only a threat to your solitude. And glucose levels on occasion, but now at least is one of those times. He even visibly deflates when she doesn't seem to understand what he's saying at all. This was not the reaction he anticipated. ]

Latviaaa.....

[percolates]

[... how... sad.]

Are... all people there like you?

[pneumo]

[ Does this mean he gets a hug... ]

What does it matter! You don't know... There's no point...

[percolates]

[She'll just awkwardly stand there, hands on her hips.]

There's no point in being so dramatic either.

[pneumo]

If you give me a hug I'll cheer up. [ He swears. Just let him loaf and smell you a little. It's not weird. ]

[percolates]

No.

[Nice try.]

You'll live.

[pneumo]

[ Dangit. ]

It was worth a shot... [ He'll try to stand up at least a little straighter now that his pathetic isn't getting him cushy hugs. ]

[percolates]

Did you honestly think that would work? [There's pathetic and then there's pathetic.]

[pneumo]

Well...if I asked you for one before that you were going to cut me in two and make a huge mess everywhere! Think of the poor janitor who'd have to clean that up.

[percolates]

Aren't you considerate. [And strange.]

[pneumo]

Aww, thanks. You're sweet too. [ Just not affectionate, alas. She could have been the perfect package. ]

[percolates]

Are you certain you weren't sent here on purpose?

[ANNOYING FELLOW.]

[pneumo]

[ HEY NOW... ]

Mmm...pretty sure. I mean, I'm usually alone. I don't know if anyone would know me to actually send me anywhere.

[ See. Don't you feel bad now, this guy has no one who cares about him. ]

[percolates]

Alone and in the dark?

[How... fun...]

[pneumo]

Usually, yeah. [ This guy needs friends ]

[percolates]

Sounds like something that shouldn't be bothered if found in a cave.

[Are you a monster.]
