Who: Furiosa and you
Broadcast: Video
Action: Iskaulit
When: throughout the week

[Furiosa is more or less fully recovered from her ordeal on the snowy mountain. There's a lingering cough, and stiffness where she'd been banged up from the avalanche, but she's out and about and on the move. She's come to the gardens for a little bit of exercise, helping tend to the plants, while getting some quiet reflection and time around green things. She's still missing a replacement prosthetic while Tyrion works her up a new one, but it doesn't seem to slow her down any.]

[She spends some time just walking around the ship and seeing what other establishments have been popping up. She might stop in the Málum for a drink and a bite to eat.]

[Eventually she ends up back at the gardens for a rest and takes a seat with her back against a tree. She's playing through the audio file Atroma had left her a while ago - twelve hours of ambient truck noises. She's been thinking a lot about home, lately, and remembered Miss Giddy and how she was instrumental in getting Furiosa and the Wives the chance to escape.]

We had History Men and Women in my world; people with the past written out on their skin, stories always on their tongue, full of wisdom and ... and inner sort of strength they gave to others.

[In some small way, Furiosa has felt the need to fill that role here; in as much giving strength to others. The story telling? Not so much, and the physical branding ... she had enough of that with Immortan's symbol at the back of her neck.]

How did you share your history, in your world?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It depends on whose history you want. Humans have their songs and stories, as do everyone else, but they have scholars who write it down and it is turned into books.

My people have stories and songs as well, most of which are shared during festivals. None of it has been written down - unless it has changed in the time since I was a girl.

I've known books, but sometimes they were just stories, or how to identify different plants.

Who are your people?

We had books like that as well. Simple things that people needed to learn.

[she purses her lips, only hesitating for a moment] Half-elves.

[Furios achuckles, dryly.] There aren't that plants in my world anymore. Not enough to fill a whole book. It was useless information.

Half-elves?

No plants? [a frown] Do you live in a - desert? That is the word, yes?

[she nods] People who are mixed blood. My mother was an elf, but my father was human. But we are not considered either of those.

Yes. It was a wasteland; little water, poisoned soil. What green places there were, fell to the spread of the world's sickness.

[Furiosa hms in thought.] They don't realize that makes you a little bit of both?

[her nose wrinkles a little] I am sorry to hear that. It does not sound all that pleasant.

[her lips quirk] They don't want to.

It wasn't. You learn to make do, though, when you have no other choice. [AKA she might be getting soft, here.]

Well. That doesn't sound very smart of them, is it?

If it is your home, mm. I can see why.

[a little dryly] No, they're idiots. But it is an idiocy that has lasted hundreds of years, unfortunately.

Sometimes idiocy can have some very attractive arguments. I'm familiar with that sort of rule. Hopefully you'll get a chance to knock them off their perch.

[she grins a little]

If only it were as easy as that. But it has begun to change, somewhat.

It's never easy. But that's good, at least, that something's started to give.

Mmm. All it took was a war.

But that is why my people do not write their history down - it is dangerous, if someone outside of the villages were to discover where they were. So everything is told through word of mouth, to keep everyone safe.

I can see where it'd be beneficial to keep your location secret.

It was. Is. The less people who know, the better.

Well, you're safe here.

For now, yes.

This place ... it's not perfect, but compared to my own world it's a walk in the park.

Mm, no, I am in agreement. It is much better compared to where I come from as well.

There seem to be too many wars. [Between all the different worlds, she could think of very few that were without notable conflict. The ponies, perhaps?]

And if it is not war, it is something else. [if there's war in the ponies' world Tempest is done with the universe]

There's always something.

[Not going to ask the ponies, don't want to know XD]
