( there's a slight sound of rustling after the feed clicks on, as oz makes himself more comfortable on a seat in the observatory. why he's there late at night — night by circadian rhythms, anyway, simulated nights on the moon — is anyone's guess, or maybe it's obvious enough. in any case, when he speaks up a moment later, he sounds to be in a good enough mood. )

What's your favorite story? Scary ones are probably best for late at night, but what I really want to hear about are everyone's favorites. For instance, something about a princess and a dragon, or maybe a mystery with a twist ending, or something out of history....ah, if you make it up or adapt it from a book, that's fine too! Or even if it's a real one that's happened to someone you know, ( and a light laugh ) — don't worry, I don't tell anyone!

But it's rude to ask without giving my own preference, right? I can start with mine, if anyone wants.

( he'll tell people about holy knight. all about it!!!! don't ask him about it. )

[Knights wouldn't have warmed him up. In Kell's world, every man is usually out for himself.]

[And there are very few fairy tales.]

No horrific monsters! [He laughs, wondering what would happen if there was a mature mistwraith around.] What did he do when he was at the ocean? Did he find a ship?

Even better! ( conspiratorially: ) He found a beautiful maiden, with hair that glistened even more brightly in the sunlight than the ocean. And when he took a closer look, he realized she was half fish.

[A long pause. There isn't a large variety of animals where he's from, and the reference throws him off.]

Half... fish?
