UN: Akhet

[ahew_kha]

I... suppose I should introduce myself if I'm new, right? That'd be the polite thing to do.

My name is Kisara and I'm not that interesting, I promise. I also apologize if we meet in person and my English is a bit... rusty, it's not my first language and I'm still working on some words and phrases that are a little strange when translated. Not that... we don't have anything weird when translated from my native language, too.

With... that out of the way, is there any particular languages that are spoken here frequently other than obviously French and English? I didn't get to travel much before here so I'm always curious about how other countries are?

I'm rambling, sorry. Just wanted to do that introduction and apologize in advance?

[marmoron]

why do you apologize so much?

[ahew_kha]

[... Oh. That actually is a good question.]

It's a story I'd rather not tell, but I'll try and work on that, I hadn't noticed it was so much...

[marmoron]

mind your own business. got it.
but you shouldnt have to say sorry if you didn't do anything wrong.

[ahew_kha]

If you apologize, then someone can't really be mad, can they? Or, at least, that's how it seemed to work?

[marmoron]

but you just got here
why would anyone be mad at you?

[ahew_kha]

Getting ahead of it before it starts, as it always does. I don't know why, but it seems everywhere I go someone is mad at me for something.

[marmoron]

i get that this goes back to this story you didn't want to tell
but you ever think that maybe if someone's getting mad at you cuz you don't speak english too well that they're just being a giant asshole?

[ahew_kha]

It's not just that, there's always a reason somewhere, whether it was something I did or was capable of or not. The... short version of that story is no one looks kindly on you when you're different where I'm from. By any stretch.

[marmoron]

did you also have abilities that people hated you for?

[ahew_kha]

None that I know of? As far as I know, I'm as normal as normal can be.

[marmoron]

but you're here so you're clearly not that normal

[A+ phrasing there.]

[ahew_kha]

Only because one of the teachers here thought it best if I were here. I don't know why? [Hey, at least he's being honest about it. She's still on some garbage about being normal.]

[marmoron]

just trust me on this one
normal people dont come here
youre definitely magical in some way

[ahew_kha]

Wouldn't I have seen something by now if I were? I know I'm a human, so I'm not sure what it could be...

[marmoron]

maybe your powers only work when you're sleeping?

[ahew_kha]

There... are some times where there's just a blank space, so maybe... Huh.

[marmoron]

a blank space?
like you wake up in weird places and you don't know how you got there?

[ahew_kha]

Something like that! Could be an hour or a few minutes or even way longer that's just... gone.

[marmoron]

maybe you should get someone to keep an eye on you while you're sleeping

[ahew_kha]

That's the thing, it's rarely when I should be sleeping. It's usually in the middle of the day or in the evening, but never the night.

[marmoron]

huh
does that just happen randomly or does something happen before?

[ahew_kha]

I think it's just [Oh, she's cutting off there for about a minute or two before she picks it back up.]

... No, actually, I think there's a trigger for whatever it is. It only really seems to happen if I'm feeling threatened...

[marmoron]

how big of a threat does it have to be?
i got a sword i can swing at you if you want to figure this out

[What even is this offer...]

[ahew_kha]

[What the actual hell.]

If I remember right, it's something that's life threatening, normally...

[marmoron]

[It's.... for science....???? I'm so sorry]

guess there's no shortage of life threatening things that happen around here in general
can you fight at all?
