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.

[claimyourself]

I do. I mean, I know how to do magic.

[Since she asked like eighty questions there.]

But it's not something that can be taught. It's just a part of who I am.

[Which might make one wonder why she bothered answering. It makes her wonder too.]

Sorry, it's just-- I wanted to make it clear, since this isn't the first time someone's asked me to teach them.

[payback]

It's okay. I'm just taking a look around. I expected a lot of answers like that.

[claimyourself]

Yeah. Was there anything in particular you were hoping to learn?

[payback]

No. Just anything useful. Helpful stuff.

[claimyourself]

There's all kinds of magic, but I prefer helpful to destructive.

[payback]

Anything I know how to do more capably could come in handy later on. You never know. What do you do?

[claimyourself]

I do... lots of stuff. I really don't know everything I can do.

[She sounds a little embarrassed.]

I can change the weather. Move things, create things. Lots of stuff.

[She feels it's better to start off vague.]

[payback]

That sounds useful...

[claimyourself]

It can be. I can help here, if I'm needed. I really don't like the battles, though.

[Mainly because she has trouble controlling her powers in high stress situations and that can lead to accidentally starting a hurricane or shooting fire at people.]

[payback]

Well, not everything needs people to fight anyway. There's sneaky stuff and other things...

[claimyourself]

Yeah, covert operations and things. I wouldn't mind doing a bit of that sometime.

[payback]

It seems like they give plenty of choices. Maybe you should ask.

[claimyourself]

I don't really know how to get in contact with whoever's in charge. They don't exactly make themselves available for questions.

[payback]

Mm. They're not really outgoing. It's kind of dumb.

What's your name again?

[claimyourself]

I know.

Oh, I'm Lena.

[payback]

Well. There's gotta be somebody! A staff member to hassle who can point you the right direction, at least.

[claimyourself]

[She pauses before answering.]

Maybe the next time they herd us like cattle for a mission, I can find someone to ask.

[payback]

Yeah, why not? They're busy but you might as well try to get something you want to do. That's better for everybody.

[claimyourself]

I think I was supposed to be answering this to help you, but you helped me instead. Thanks.

[payback]

No, I'm glad to be of some help! Thanks for answering anyway.

[claimyourself]

Sure. I hope you get the rest of your questions answered.

[payback]

Thanks! Me too.
