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?

Tutors, if you'd the rank and money to spend on them. Time to afford history instead of working for your family's living.

[ Katsa's more interesting in studying Furiosa herself than the conversation, really. ]

Did they truly write stories on their skin? Or do you mean that another way?

No, it was tattoos. Words, names, places, phrases ... Miss Giddy was covered in them.

Why would she do such a thing?

[ It's not meant as an insult; only honest curiosity. Katsa's captivated by her conversation partner: a woman who's cut her hair even closer to her head than Katsa has, who looks hardened, and steady, and rough. Even in the Drabwurld, she'd not seen such a woman. ]

How else would she keep track of it all? Ink and needles are easier to come by than paper. Skin endures better than books.

[Furiosa's aesthetic comes from a need to be as far removed from woman as she could get, in order to survive in the hyper-masculine world that she had found herself in. So many years has made it as much a part of her as anything else.]

That's the first time I've heard that, about needles being easier to find than paper. [ Not that she doubts it, exactly. Only that it makes her wonder what sort of place would make that so. ] Are the stories so important?

It's the only tie we have to the world that died. The stories used to be something of a privilege, but I'm hoping that'll change.

What do you mean? How could stories be a privilege?

[ A never-ending barrage of questions. She has plenty, and this is definitely a conversation worth pursuing. ]

Those with the stories was kept with certain people only.

I'm not sure I follow.

[ brows furrowed ]

...You said it was a tie to a world that died. What world? Yours? Is that what the stories were, remembering that world?
