Oooo, look at this communicator!

[ Hello, fleet! Have an enthusiastic blonde latina grinning and waving at you ]

Hi! Wow, this is so great, isn't this just fascinating? And these augments, they put information into your brain, does that mean they cracked the code of how to create specific impulses and connections between your neurons? It's amazing, I wish I could take it out and poke at it.

I wonder if it's electrically or chemically based.

[ ponder ]

Oh! Right, I completely forgot, hiiii! I'm new around here, and I just got so distracted by all this new information in my head and this new place we're in! I really should go home if I can, I know, but think of the learning opportunities!

[ AAAAAH CAT TAIL!!!!

She does at least restrain herself a little, because oh, right, that was extremely rude ]

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to imply they were actually cat ears, I just-- I've never met someone who has features like yours! We don't have miqo'te where I'm from, and it's just so fascinating to see how life has developed in other worlds!

[ She offers a hand with a sheepish smile ]

I'm Aiko. And I really am sorry if I caused any offense.

[paeon]

[ Hells yes it was very rude, but O'danya is interrupted from her indignance by the simple statement: we don't have miqo'te where I'm from. ]

No miqo'te...? But you're hyur! How is it one could be there without the other? [ Or the other three races? ]

Aiko... I'm O'danya Mitnu. [ She shakes, albeit still in baffled, curious wariness. ]

[fotofoto]

[ She is very very sorry and will never call you a cat again, never fear! ]

I'm human. We're the only sentient species on my world. Well, the only proven sentient species, I have my beliefs about whales and elephants, but that's not really important right now.

It's nice to meet you O'danya!

[paeon]

We're all human. You're hyur.

[ This is... beyond her comprehension right away. Different worlds with different places, technology and rules, of course that's hard to wrap her head around but positively doable. Somewhere without roegadyn, elezen, miqo'te or lalafells? That seems like an outright impossibility. ]

The pleasure is mine. Well, aside from the obvious.

[fotofoto]

So you're all subspecies of human?

[ She's curious again, but doing her best to be tactful now that she's stepped in it once ]

[paeon]

[ O'danya considers that. It isn't how anyone has ever classified the five races of man before but for someone who's apparently never run across it... ]

Yes. That's as good of a summary as any. If you've truly only come across hyur, then you've never met the other four races.

[fotofoto]

Oooooh, I wish I could learn more... Well, even if I can't meet them all in person, if you don't mind telling me about the different [ What word did she use? ] races sometime, I'd really appreciate it.

If I can find the ingredients to make brownies or something in return, I will so totally do that.

[paeon]

As long as you're willing to listen. [ And not call roegadyn behemoths or lallafel midgets or elezen giraffes or something, geez. ]

Brownies? You cook?

[fotofoto]

Always! I'm a scientist, I love learning new things, even if they're not about chemistry. [ NO SHE WILL NOT, SHE IS POLITE AND WILL FOREVER FEEL BAD ABOUT CALLING YOU A CAT IN HER ENTHUSIASM. ]

I do! I like it because it's basically edible chemistry! [ giggle ] Do you?

[paeon]

A scientist? Oh, if only Alichi'ra were here. He's much more minded to the pursuits of alchemy or arcanism than I am.

[ GOOD. ALWAYS FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT. GEEZ, THAT'S SO RUDE. ]

I may not look it, but I'm a realm-renowned culinarian in my own right. Thank the Twelve, I was left with my implements when I arrived here.

[fotofoto]

[ Cue her biggest starry eyes ]

Really? Do you think we could work together on meals sometimes, then? The kitchen is currently horribly lacking in some of the most basic kitchen tools, it's a nightmare.

[paeon]

Assuming that I'll even be allowed near the cookwear, I would love to have a chance to put my hands to the oven again. Metaphorically speaking.

[ yeah no the 5'5" mildly athletic catgirl actually security, surprise. ]

[fotofoto]

Well, the kitchen is basically mine, unless we get someone else with a cooking augment, so I say you are definitely allowed near the cookwear.

[ Well the 6'2" (in her heels) skinny chemist is actually the ship's cook, not a lab tech, so clearly they're on a roll with "oh, you're what now?" ]

[paeon]

In that case, I would avail myself to the kitchen to see the state of it for myself. It surely can't be unworkable? We needs must eat something while we're here.

[fotofoto]

Oh, it's not entirely useless... for preparing the protein substance they've provided. It's lacking a LOT, though, I'm going to need to build it up to a proper kitchen. I think we can upgrade it? I plan to do that as soon as possible.

[paeon]

[ O'danya looks around for a moment before she begins to walk in search of the kitchen for herself. That is definitely a cat tail and it is definitely swishing and there is definitely nothing weird about this. ]

Protein substance? Regardless, if you've need of skilled hands for the reconstruction, I do fancy myself a carpenter as well. My skill in metals, however, is rather lacking.
