Say, if you're an alien, I have a question for you. What was your world like? Do you miss it? Please tell me about it if you feel like it. Did you get to fly a space ship? Was that fun? What kind of fun things did you do? Are humans weird? What's the weirdest thing about them? Do you like humans? Did you ever meet humans when you were an alien?

[Okay, that's a bunch of questions. But she doesn't self-correct.]

Also, does anyone here know how to do magic? And if you do, is it magic you can teach to anybody? I think it would be pretty neat to know how to do some magic, and it could come in handy sometime. If you do please let me know.

You didn't mention any qualifiers!

[payback]

I was asking aliens! Oh, are you an alien?

[implying]

Well, I'm not from Earth, and certainly not human. Would you say so?

[payback]

I guess that means you qualify... did you ever fly a space ship?

[implying]

Not yet, but I've hardly made a dent yet in all the things I intend to do before I die. Give it time!

[payback]

You look pretty human for an alien though...

[implying]

My dear, that's an insult in some circles.

[payback]

What circles?

[implying]

Well. The stuck-up ones, mostly.

[payback]

Ohhhh, hehehe. Too bad.

[implying]

For whom?

[payback]

Oh, I don't know. Just in general.

I just think an alien should be kind of weirder-looking. Like with a centipede body or a lion face or something.

[implying]

Well, it seems you've missed your chance to tell Nananea that she wasn't alien enough. Perhaps you might inform the trolls, instead.

[payback]

She hasn't talked to me yet! I don't even know her. And the trolls are kind of strange looking.

[implying]

She's gone, so— nevermind that. [ ugh trolls don't talk to him about trolls!! ] Then perhaps you'd best set your sights on... oh, one of the elves, perhaps? We've a fair collection, after all.

[payback]

Ah... [This place :( and its comings and goings. So like every other place she's been, and her whole life in that respect.] It's not like that, anyway. I'm just surprised by how close we all look sometimes. Two legs and two arms and two eyes and two ears and so on, you know?

[implying]

Nananea had four hands, and four eyes. It was quite novel.

[payback]

That's really cool...

[implying]

Agreed.

Ah, well, I suppose it's possible she could return to us... those four hands were really very useful, intimately speaking.

[payback]

... You should keep that private.

[implying]

Oh? And why is that?

[payback]

Because it's about sex!
