So we're all confused... and we were all sleeping before we came here. At least I think so. Why were we kidnapped to space? That's too far to make a call for our ransom.

[ Weird of anyone to demand a ransom to Louise Grimshaw, too. They should know better than to challenge a witch like her.

More importantly: ]

At what time do we have our meals? It's very important that I eat.

An excellent question that I'm afraid none of us can answer.

[ but more importantly: ] You can eat whenever you think you can swallow the atrocities called food here.

If whoever did it has a spaceship, it might not be too far at all.

[fingerprint]

I guess that makes sense.

But the food part is going to have to be more important for now. I usually eat lunch at one and dinner at eight, but I can sneak in some snacks here and there... Do they have protein?

[selection]

Easily enough fixed: these devices come with a watch. Your regular food schedule won't need to change at all.

How old are you? [ solo's guess is he's talking to a child or someone geriatric. ]

[ Canary, he sees, and immediately he thinks of Dorotheos - the bird cursed with answering to his captors' wishes. Needless to say he's a grumpy-ass bird, and Theodore hopes this doesn't apply to a canary, too. ]

Then they'd get detected, wouldn't they? I mean, it's pretty huge, it's not like anyone would miss it.

[fingerprint]

It's just that I never eat alone, so if other people would tell me at what time they eat, I think that would be helpful.

And that's... [ Uhm. ] You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I think. Because I'm only a few months old.

[ Welp, looks like he told him anyway. ]

I doubt the motive points toward ransom of any kind.

[ She holds back from sharing her truest thoughts on the matter; it wouldn't do to frighten anyone further than she habitually does without trying. ]

I can help you find your way to what is left of the mess hall, if you're hungry. Be forewarned that it's a literal mess.

[taer]

I don't know about that. Some ships are pretty stealthy. [ or have cloaking technology, like the waverider. ] I'm just saying, let's not jump to conclusions.

[selection]

For a newborn, you type quite well. [ solo may need to revise his opinion. mentally unstable is sounding more likely than child or geriatric person right now. ]

[fingerprint]

That would be so nice of you! Thank you. And maybe I can help clean up the mess.

[fingerprint]

Oh. Okay. I never studied ships.

So what do we do?

[fingerprint]

Thank you! Though, to be fair, I was born knowing how to type and speak. It's a good thing the spell took care of that.

[taer]

I'm guessing you don't know how to pilot a ship if you've never studied them.

[selection]

What spell was that?

[fingerprint]

The one that makes people? She didn't tell me the name.

[fingerprint]

[ He be like, 'what oh no please don't give me this responsibility IT'S TOO MUCH' but first: ]

Am I going to have to pilot a ship?

[selection]

She?

[ there's a spell that makes people? are you kidding him with this? he'll assume you're a lunatic, but on the off chance that you aren't? this is troublesome. potentially more so than waking up disoriented on a spaceship. ]

[taer]

Let's hope not.

[fingerprint]

[ Unfortunately, yes. To be fair, one of the most powerful (teenage) witches out there wasn't sure she would be able to do it, but here they are. (Namely Theo.) ]

Yes. Louise is a girl.

[fingerprint]

I agree. It's a lot of responsibility, and I'd need to practice first.

[selection]

[ the concept of a powerful teenage witch, much less several, outside of fiction is really troublesome. ]

And she made you?

[taer]

What do you have experience with?

[fingerprint]

That's right. She took a part of herself and a part of Morgan Fable, and then I existed.

[fingerprint]

[


well ]

I'm pretty good at taking care of myself. Staying healthy.

[taer]

Good start. [ not helpful, but at least no one's going to have to babysit? but an actually useful skillset would have been better. not that sara's going to say as much. ]
