You'd think this whole being abducted thing would freak me out a whole lot more... but you know what? Not that bad. [Maya's voice sounds amused.] The whole thing could have been a lot more unpleasant. Uh, aside from all the craziness before. I guess I'm just trying not to look a gift horse in the mouth until I'm a little better adjusted, you know?

So... [There's a small stretch of silence because wow introducing yourself to a giant group of strangers is still kind of awkward.] I'm Maya, and apparently someone thought you all needed the assistance of a Siren. ...Hi.

[And then quieter because she feels dumb enough already:] Knowing what I already know, it's probably kind of a stretch to ask if anyone here is familiar with a planet called Pandora. So I won't.

That so? Huh. You could always start small. Maybe you're better at writing poetry than I am.

[Congratulations, Maya, you managed to genuinely stun Shelke, and that's hard to do! It takes her a few seconds to do anything other than stare.]

I...uh. I really don't think so.

I don't know. You haven't read my poetry. It's pretty shabby. [And her attempts at joking are also pretty shabby.] Anyway, chin up. You'll find something eventually.

[Shelke does actually smile very faintly at that terrible joke.]

...Can work be a hobby?

[burnthewitch]

[She's relieved.] I'd be a hypocrite if I said "no".

So, you know my name, but I never got yours.

I am Shelke. [She seems to cut off abruptly at the end of her name, mostly because she actually has to remind herself that her title doesn't matter anymore.]

[burnthewitch]

Well Shelke, I'm rooting for you. Maybe we'll both find what we're looking for or something.

Do you believe you will find sirens here?

[She can read between the lines from earlier.]
