[ if someone told clarice she'd be reaching out to the rest of her cohort almost the instant she finds her footing on the station, she'd have laughed in their face. frankly, she would have preferred to keep her head down, stay out of the way until she was needed.

but some things were necessary, and dealing with a whole set of people whose backgrounds and experiences she had no clue about necessitated some information-gathering.

reaching out anonymously seemed like a good compromise. ]

[ she's here for one reason, and one reason only. making a list of those she had to steer clear from is only going to help her achieve her goal in the long run. ]

what does that word mean to you?

I guess I do. Idiots back home made a lot of jokes about me being a witch, and I think the red hair probably contributed to that.

But it makes me who I am, so what of it, right?

[fuchsiative]

yeah


except for the times it doesn't stop at just jokes

[shadysided]

That's when you punch them in the face or elbow them in the tit.

Maybe put roaches in their hair with your witchcraft.

[fuchsiative]

sadly my brand of witchcraft's not that fun

[shadysided]

Lemme guess: nifty superpowers?

[fuchsiative]

they've been convenient
but most of the time they're just a pain in the ass

[shadysided]

Can I ask what they are, or does that defeat the purpose of anonymous?

You know, the people around here don't bite. About powers and magic and stuff.

i can make portals
get you from point a to point b
so long as i know where point b is, anyway

[ she didn't figure she'd be able to keep anonymous on this station. large as it is, someone's bound to put two and two, or overhear her other conversations where she's been a lot more honest. ]

that's what i was trying to figure out
so far that's what i'm hearing but... i had to get used to being skeptical

[shadysided]

Portals???
Man, I'm a little jealous. How many boring conversations have you left using those?

I get why you'd be skeptical.
If it helps, there's a ton of people here with powers. Less of the whole 'I'm isolated and outnumbered' sort of thing. Honestly, being the boring, unhelpful human is really where the anguish is in these parts. I've only just started learning how to not get hit with axes.

SUPER fun.

[fuchsiative]

not really a lot of opportunity for conversation when you're on the run

[ whoop ]

besides it's...
i'm still getting the hang of it

but — axes? is that a regular thing here?

[shadysided]

Oh, sorry.
Hope it's being on the run from bullshit and not something like axe murder.

See, I worked it back around to axes.
But actually, admittedly, not a lot of axe issues. HERE, anyway.
People seem to prefer guns and magic B.S.




Pretty sure Andy LOVES axes, though.

[fuchsiative]

little of column a, little of column b

but uh
i'll keep an eye out for an andy, i guess
