Y'All Need to Dream of Dancing Fish
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit or Vanquish
When: 27 September.
[Because it's a matter of survival for the fae, Katie learned to deal with her own nightmares very early on. It's one of those issues when your existence straddles the line between the mundane world and the dream one and you see both at once. It can be fun. It can be beautiful. It can also kind of suck ass.
What happened to the planet below is still a source of roiling nausea for her, but she is by far not the only one dreaming of it now.
In one sense, it's good that the scale of destruction is so vast that the human subconscious has difficulty replicating it as echoes in the confined space of the ships themselves, but it doesn't stop her from catching glimpses of horrified faces in the corner of her eye. Ghostly echoes of copper-skinned victims before their death. Corridors suddenly filling with flame and screams. See, that one's jarring as hell and she has difficulty pretending she can't see it. It's enough that she excuses herself from polite company and locks herself in the Vanquish's personnel room, a ball of wool in her hands and a twitchy cat slinking at her heels. Licorice can see it all, too. That's the problem with getting too close to the fae. She wonders idly if Sam is having issues.
She can't exactly make an announcement to demand everyone get over it already. You can't get over something like this. It's healthy to go through that grief. But if a corridor happens to fill with fire while she's in it, she'll burn. And it's her job to try and curb this kind of thing, the way she ... totally didn't do that in Bath. Oh, well.
She does what she can.]
[Video]
Would anyone like a dream catcher? [She holds up a contraption made from baby blue wool and shells, shaking it a little. It looks decidedly average.] Personally speaking, I've always found the ones I didn't make myself far more useful. But you could always try them out and see what happens. Might help with the nightmares none of you are having.
Speaking of non-issues, I suppose this is what being a personnel officer is all about. I really do need my Doctor Is In sign, don't I?
She'll be mostly in her personnel room on the Vanquish because these things take time to make, though she'll visit the Iskaulit later to hang out in the fox park and recharge.]

Here!
[Allow her to pick up said saber and activate it at safe distance from humans, foxes, and cats alike, producing a blade of white light. It does indeed go vmmm.]

[She hasn't actually tested it on a lot of things-- dead trees, yes, and people. But altogether Katie hasn't had much of a use for it now she's grown. (She just loves lightsabers, okay.)]
Re: Action
How do I get one? [Grin. This would be SO COOL.]

The person who made this left a very long time ago, sadly. But if it helps, I bet I could take the sword to someone who knows their stuff and ask them to reverse engineer it. If Kirito could make this with just what he had on the ships, someone else has to be able to, right?
