Who: Garrett
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Around now! A+ description.

[Garrett is not about to completely come out of the bag with the vampire thing. For one, he's spent a very hefty portion of his life hiding it — and for another, he doesn't want to be burned at a stake, barbaric and outdated and annoyingly Salem as that is (he was around for that kind of mindset long after the trials ended, and really, entertaining the idea of burning lovely women simply because they're exotic minds?)]

You know, the swimming test for witches was the the stupidest thing I've ever heard growing up. Frenzied morons would basically throw a suspected witch in a lake and if she floated, she was a witch. And if she sank like a stone, she wasn't. But what is the person if they doggy paddle in a mad panic? A witch who didn't learn to swim?

[There's a heavy humor in his voice, the kind one picks up with regards to death, to dark humor, and if there were such a thing as a verbal eyeroll, it'd be here.]

But this place! Fascinating to see so many of you open about your supernatural talents. Your unholy inhumaness, should you self-subscribe to such a dark description. As someone from such a boring, uneventful world, I'm just excited at the idea of a ghost on a roadside; no, we're pretty boring in hindsight, compared to you lot. I bet you all have some interesting tales to tell. And maybe some tails under those ugly ship-standard uniforms. Is it strange, being so open, or is that also a normality in your world?

I'm stranded aboard a ship floating through infinite space; humor me while I slowly die of boredom.

[ALSO I'M GONNA START GETTING HUNGRY????

But that is for another day to worry. His throat is only similar to human strep, at the moment.

Gross.]

Oh? Suppose they're not one for following the basic rules of boxing.

I've got to say, it sounds like an amazingly fun challenge.

[halfbloodhatchling]

[A sigh.]

I feel like I've spent half my life surrounded by people like you.

For the record, there's nothing honorable or fun about being killed by something that outclasses you.

[staytofight]

I bet they were exciting people to be around.

[He raises his eyebrows.]

And hey! You don't know how tough I am. I throw a really nice right hook!

[halfbloodhatchling]

They're tough, sure, but I prefer to have a gun when I'm going after anything three times my size.

I'm pretty sure no witch worth her salt would let you close enough for that hit to land.

[staytofight]

If I'm lucky, they won't be worth their salt, then.

You don't practice magic yourself? I thought elves had some semblance of magical skill.

[halfbloodhatchling]

Maybe don't pick fights with them until you're certain about that.

Yeah, but I was raised by a human.

[ Which is the simplest -- if not entirely accurate -- way Kai can think of to explain all of why he's not really elfin, in some of the ways that do count.]

[staytofight]

[OHOOOOOOOOOO.]

That makes a large difference, does it?

[halfbloodhatchling]

I'm better off without the magic.

[ Better off being more human than elfin. ]

[staytofight]

Even with witches around?

[halfbloodhatchling]

I'm not the one trying to piss them off.

[Also, he has guns. Fancy space guns.]

[staytofight]

... True.

I'd much rather keep the company and friendship of a witch, myself.

[halfbloodhatchling]

Great. Looks like you've drawn some of them out, so best of luck with that.
