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?

[This has something very relative to Fenris' interests. What he commonly sneers at as filthy magic is different. Even in his time in Exsillium, he has yet to meet anyone who can phase through solid objects as well. ]

How are you doing that?

[His tone is more...demanding than pleasant. Oops.]

video forever;

[interspace]

[ She comes over to pick up the comm when someone replies, head tilting at the guy on the other end. ]

"That" being the phasing? It's my power.

[wolfuncaged]

Yes. How do you accomplish it? Is it magic?

[interspace]

Definitely not magic. [ That at least gives her a starting point of how to explain. Magic usually means a complete lack of understanding to genetics. ] You know how some people have, I don't know, double-joints or something? Just the way they are? It's like that with me, just something inside me that lets me do it.

[wolfuncaged]

...So it just happened to you? You were not altered in any way?

[He frowns.] It sounds like magic. People are born with that, too.

[interspace]

Well... no, okay, I was altered. Not born with it. Some people are born with it, some people aren't.

[ She raises a brow to that frown. ] Yeah, but I can't chant spells or wave a wand or hex your cousin or anything. Just this.

[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.

[stayinthecar]

There are several anomalies within the ship walls, any number of them could be preventing you from using your ability.

[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.

[interspace]

Uh-oh. What kind of anomalies are we talking about here? Because—that still shouldn't happen.

[stayinthecar]

Technology that our augments didn't account for. A few of us opened up the walls and tried to determine what the extra parts were for, but could not determine anything.

[interspace]

[ She bites her lip momentarily, takes a breath. ]

What extra parts? Back up, explain. Okay?

[poetontheinside]

Uh, yeah, I'm fucking seeing this shit, you're standing in the couch. [First things first]

[interspace]

[ Whoops. She covers the quick reaction of embarrassment with an eyeroll. ]

Yes, in the couch and not in the wall. One of these things is not like the other.

[poetontheinside]

So it bothers you that you can't just walk through everything, right the fuck into space? You need to get your priorities in order, lady.

[interspace]

Notice that I'm not walking toward the outer wall. Is it so wrong to want to see what else is in this ship?

Action

[thezerothlaw]

[Well, this is peculiar. Daneel tilts his head, not quite sure how to take this sight, and in fact goes over to touch the couch gently to ensure that it is, in fact, a real couch and not a holographic image. Nope, that's real.]

How is it that you are doing this?
