[It takes Estelle a little tinkering to get used to the idea of the tablet. But she thinks she sort of gets the idea, managing to open up a video feed.]

Oh! There, it seems like it's working now. [It's almost like seeing Rita working with her blastia research a little....

[She pulls back a little from peering closely at the tablet, smiling almost triumphantly at having figured it out for the most part and giving a small wave.]


Hello everyone! I guess I'm one of the newer arrivals and my name is Estellise. Oh, but you can just call me 'Estelle'. I might not be quite as aware on the situation as others who have been here longer, but I'll help as best I can. War is a terrible thing and I'd like to do my best to prevent it escalating if possible. I've done some fighting back home and I wouldn't like for things to get too out of hand, with children or civilians getting hurt and caught up in this.

[She's worried there, obviously upset at the situation from what she has gathered. It's not quite as dangerous as back home with the threat of the Adephagos, but even so, this is still serious and it seems like they are bringing in a lot of people to help out the Initiative.]

Though I guess all of this might take a bit of....getting used to. This is quite different from Zaphias back home. I can heal, so if there is some sort of clinic or something I'd like to offer my help if I can.

Oh! I'm not sure if there are any books here but I'd still like to hear some stories! I think this is a wonderful chance to learn so much with people from such different places! I've never heard of 'Earth' before I came here so I'd love to hear more about it.

I wanted to also thank everyone that helped me when I first got here too. I think I'm getting used to things here now.

And....I'm sorry if Yuri caused anyone any trouble. It's...not necessarily his fault but trouble sort of seems to follow him sometimes.

[A light, almost sheepish smile. She knows what Yuri can be like at times and even unintentionally how often he ends up in the middle of things.]

Hrm. Maybe. Ultimately you'd have to try to find out, I guess.

I know I can teach some of my abilities to people. But not some of my best.

Anything borne of class training, as opposed to inherent racial power.

My world's different on that front. Sort of.

It's... Well, here lemme try the easy ask first. Do role-playing games exist in your world?

... That's always sad to hear. Experience is a wonderful thing.

But, well... That eliminates the easy path.

My world's got the laws of physics, but then there's The Rules. They're... An odd abstraction, more or less.

It may be easier to explain by example.

Well. For example. You gain abilities by taking one or more levels in a 'class'. There's a ton of them - Bard, Warlock, Wizard - and each one grants different abilities.

I'm a high-level Bard, for example, so I can cast a bunch of spells, and play magical music that enhances my allies' ability to fight.

That's without going into the exact number of spells per day, or precisely how much my music enhances people's ability to fight.

Very loosely, yeah.

That's without talking about the numbers and such.

... My reality uses underlying dice for mechanics in various ways.

Especially twenty-sided dice. When you attack someone, a die roll, modified by a bunch of numbers, determines if you hit or not.

It seems like no one has. I'm alone in a reality that has no such rules.

Yeah, other than that it makes most people think I'm crazy once it comes up...

It's... Well, to be fair, I don't have a reputation for crazy just because of that.

There's... I'd rather not go into the rant over the network, sorry.
