These masks continue to be a pain in the ass, huh?

But I guess the alternative is being laid up in bed sick — which I don't recommend, in case you're feeling brave, because seeing the people who took off their masks isn't inspiring any faith here. As for me, I'm needing a little break from travelling around down there in all that questionable toxin. Not exactly my cup of coffee, you know? Prefer more open roads, more green and, uh. An ocean I can smell and not go into coughing fits over.

Maybe I'll just spitball some stuff to pass the time while I question what I'm eating from these kitchens? I'm feeling nosy. Call it an acquired skill set, being nosy. Back in the other place I was trapped in, I mostly gathered information about our bestiary; monsters from all kinds of worlds would fall into the world with us, and I did my fair share of fighting some pretty rough creatures. Including the killer rabbits that would try to sabotage my garden. They're small, fast, and aim for the jugular, FYI.

Anyway, pick a number, any number —

1. Favorite fairy tale, ghost story, or piece of folklore.
2. Favorite thing about the other worlds you've been to? (Least favorite, too, if you're feeling like getting it off your chest? I'm a crappy psychiatrist, fair warning.)
3. Ever run into people who know you from a book, movie, or game? Or, uh... manga?
4. War games — which do you prefer, and why?
5. Magic in your world: real or fiction?

I figure I'm being totally transparent, but I'm a big fan of information gathering. But it's also... actually really nice to be in one place long enough to get to know people. How often do you have the chance to learn about alternate universes? Small pluses.

1. Ordis has always been fond of the Limbo Theorem, though admittedly it does not end well.
2. The pull of the Void has always interested Ordis, as has the moon. Well, Ordis has difficulty remembering anything positive about the moon, but the golden age technology there seems very interesting. Or did you mean worlds here? Because Ordis is not fond of these masks at all.
3. ...? This question does not make sense.
4. No. Ordis simply answers no.
5. Magic is the thing of tall tales, but there are those that possess Void-given powers, such as Ordis' Operator, that allow them to do remarkable things.

[collegedropout]

1. Limbo Theorem? Sounds ominous. What is it?
2. The worlds here are one thing to consider, yeah. The masks are a pain though.
3. Why doesn't it? Different universes. You could be a character in someone else's world. Or maybe someone's a character in your world.
4. Seems like a fair and logical enough answer.
5. Void-given powers, like what?

[cephalon]

1. A theory written by the warframe Limbo, who Ordis must say was a very fantastic writer indeed. Cheeky, yet very poignant in his numberwork.
3. ...Ordis does not know how to feel about being a character in someone's world to be honest.
5. Yes. Such as the Operator's Chroma. It is a fierce weapon indeed.

[collegedropout]

1. I have a distinct feeling we're from very different worlds.
3. Sounds kind of invasive and weird, huh? I don't recommend it, personally. It's a pain.
5. What kind of weapon is that, if you don't mind me asking?

[cephalon]

1. That has seemed to be the case on many accounts. How this is possible, Ordis would much like to know because it sounds fascinating.
5. The Chroma is the Operator's warframe, of course.

[collegedropout]

1. Never considered the possibility of multiple universes, huh?
5. Not that familiar with the Operator. Got anymore information about it?

[cephalon]

1. Oh Ordis is quite familiar with multi-universal theorems, they are really are a riot. Some just are so poorly calculated though, it takes a real artist to craft a good one.
5. Not it. The Operator. Ordis' Operator. Ordis' Operator is one chosen by the Lotus herself to protect the sector from all that would threaten to harm it.

...not that the Operator is too happy with her, nowadays. But still.

[collegedropout]

This all sounds like it's got a hell of a lot of culture and history in it. Sounds a lot like pretty high-tech, too. Is this some kind of digital world, that you're talking about?

[cephalon]

Orokin history is very rich, though...admittedly much has been lost to the ravages of time and degradation.

But no, Ordis' world is not digital. Well, no, Ordis' world itself for Ordis is digital, but the world for his Operator and other beings is not.

[collegedropout]

Oh.

So then you're...?

[cephalon]

Ordis is a cephalon. Personal cephalon for his Operator. Ordis is a ship.

[collegedropout]

By ship, do you mean... like... a FULL ship? Like - the ones we're on right now? That kind of ship?

[cephalon]

Ordis is not some clunking, lumbering mess of metal for transporting hairless apes. Ordis is the cephalon in charge of piloting his Operator's liset class ship thoughout the origin system.

Much more attractive than these, if Ordis may say.

[collegedropout]

... Hairless apes. Now that's not new at all.

I've never heard of a cephalon, though. Is your world similar in some way to this one?

[cephalon]

It is not incorrect.

Ordis is a cephalon, you have heard of one now. Ordis is the cephalon in service to his Operator, and the cephalon residing in the ship. It is a very important job.

In regards to your question though...it is...similar? If similar can be categorized as 'also traveling through space'. Ordis has not found many other similarities, however. There are far less things trying to destroy each other, which is nice.

[collegedropout]

So... are you a robot here as well?

[cephalon]

Oh how Ordis wishes
