WHO Misha Hunt
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!
ACTION Marsiva hospitality deck
WHEN May 20th because I'm a loser

[ The comm is set down on a table, facing down to give a wide angle of a young redheaded woman who is basically standing inside of a couch. Phasing! She looks to the camera, brows raised very pointedly!! And then walks forward to one of the walls leading further into the Marsiva and pushes.

Nada.

She looks back to the camera. Walks back to the couch, does a slow turn around while standing inside of it, then goes back and pushes on the wall again. After a moment, she steps back, uses both hands to point at the stubborn wall. ]

Is anyone else seeing this shit?

Comments

[wolfuncaged]

Someone did it to you.

[He seems to unclench a little, but the annoyance just slides into a quiet sort of resignation. ]

I have never met anyone who could do that too.

[interspace]

Well... that's a theory, anyway. It's a long story.

[ She shrugs, seems unbothered, but honestly? Not knowing what even happened all those years ago messes with her to no end, not to mention the frustration that she'll likely never find out. ]

Oh, you phase? Neither have I, actually.

[wolfuncaged]

I- yes.

[He raises an arm to show the lines of lyrium, crawling up his arm like a vine. When he speaks, it's stilted and awkward. He never thought he'd ever meet someone with the same abilities as him, a big part of him never wanted to. Largely because he assumed what was done to him was the only way to go about it.]

I have lyrium carved into my flesh. My former master wished to make a living weapon out of me, and for the large part succeeded.

[interspace]

Whoa.

[ She doesn't know what lyrium is, but carved into my flesh is terrible and she suppresses an actual shudder trying to run through her body. It reminds her of some none-too-lovely past experiences with mind-control technology. ]

God... that's not worth the price of admission at all.

[wolfuncaged]

[He's quiet for a moment. The price of admission was the freedom of family he no longer really remembers. He lost everything for them, and Varania made it clear it wasn't a welcome sacrifice. Still, to have them be free, no longer be slaves... ]

At least I have been able to turn it to my advantage.

[interspace]

Use it for your own gains and all that?

[ She sees the quiet, doesn't comment on it. It really isn't her place to pry that deep, but she can't deny how interested she is in someone else who can phase. ]

[wolfuncaged]

I use it to tear out the hearts of my enemies.

[Does she? He doesn't know. Is that a regular thing? ]

[interspace]

... Oh. I mean, that's definitely way more action-filled than me. I just fly with mine. Outside of actually phasing through things, too.

[wolfuncaged]

You can fly? How?

[interspace]

Well... it's like—that energy that I use to phase, okay? I put it in my body and kind of... make it move, so if I lift myself with it, then I can fly.

[wolfuncaged]

That is...

Strange. I have never been able to do anything like that.

[Mostly because the closest he comes to 'embracing' his powers is using it for murder and/or torture. ]

[interspace]

Have you tried?

[ To be honest, her power is more flight and then phasing but she's not going to sweat the semantics. Embracing it is the only option she's really got. ]

I mean, who knows, might be even more useful than you thought.

[wolfuncaged]

...No.

I do not think I would enjoy it, much. My ability pains me enough as it is.

[interspace]

[ She tilts her head enough to acquiesce. ]

Yeah, I guess that's fair, considering... [ She makes a small gesture, trailing a finger up and down her bicep to indicate the tattoos. ] Still. Name's Misha.

[wolfuncaged]

Hmm.

I am Fenris.

[As she can see, he's a big talker. ]

[interspace]

Glad to meet you, Fenris. For real. Guess you wouldn't be up for a compare and contrast later, would you?

[wolfuncaged]

I-

[He's never been a FAN of his abilities, but the chance to understand them more, even in the vaguest sense...he'd be a fool to turn it down. He'll remain vigilant, though.]

I would be amenable to that.

[interspace]

[ That gets a surprised blink, and she smiles pretty genuinely for the answer. ]

Hey, that's great. We'll meet up once I get off this hunk o' junk, all right?

[wolfuncaged]

Yes. If you like.

[He is so awkward. He sucks at social situations, just gonna...clear his throat. ]

I will speak to you again, soon.

[Oh and off he goes. What an experience for her.]

[interspace]

[ ... well okay then. She waves goodbye for the camera and speaks aloud to ALFRED to put that on her calendar... somewhere. Whatever, they'll figure it out. ]
