hi, i'm ava

[ she's gone through the various stages of grief in the days since her arrival. grief at losing her chance of learning how to live a normal life. grief at losing the first person who'd really understood her pain. grief at losing a cure that had been within her grasp.

grief at being on a damn space station, of all things. (maybe they should be renamed the various stages of anger.)

she's settled on something akin to resignation, for now. she's here. she still wants to try. ]

what are things you consider normal? how many of them can you still do here

i'm jim.

( and it's been awhile since he's greeted someone new. the last month had been mostly spent recovering from the sickness and getting his strength back. while there are still marks on his arms to remind him of what happened, he feels better. )

things i consider normal? drinking coffee in the morning. talking to my crew members. flying through the stars. meeting new civilizations.

here, i've got the coffee thing down. the other parts are a work in progress.

[disequilibria]

[ none of this sounds normal to ava, with the possible exception of the coffee. ]

you're from space?

[episodically]

nope. i've been living there for the past while but i was born on earth. why, space travel something you haven't gotten to yet?

there are a few other people like that here.

( and how sad, in his opinion, to just be stuck planetside when there was so much other stuff out there to see. )

[disequilibria]

only to the moon and back

[episodically]

bummer. you're missing out on so much more.

so, what's normal for you? question for a question.

I think "normal" is relative. For me, normal is fighting a war with my crew, and training my apprentice. My apprentice is here, so I can do that part of it. But there's no war to fight. That's weird.

[disequilibria]

What do you do instead of fighting?

[kanyounot]

Meditate, mostly, or try to. When I'm not trying to figure this place out, and find a way to get back.

[disequilibria]

I've never tried meditation.

[ that's not true, she has - it just didn't help with her condition. ]

I can still sing, and I can still work on things with the computers here, but I miss my keyboard and my sound mixing equipment and my best friend. ;__;

[disequilibria]

what kind of music do you like?

[hyperfresh]

I like a little bit of everything, but pop is always exciting and upbeat. What about you?

[disequilibria]

i guess pop is good

Hi, Ava! I'm Kamala. :) Normal is kind of whatever you want it to be, but I love to read and write. I can still do that here! What do you love to do?

[disequilibria]

what do you read and write?

i'm trying to figure that out

[morphogenia]

I read whatever I can find in the library! Obviously these posts. I write fanfiction about superheroes and stories about what I see here too. It's really fun if you're looking for a hobby to pass the time when we're not doing our best to get out of here! Everyone needs a break.

[disequilibria]

fanfiction?

So you wish to understand how an Overlord lives? Kekeke... my how bold.

Most beings might believe such a pursuit to be reckless, yet I applaud your courage.

[disequilibria]

thanks

[ she guesses? this message is weird ]

so tell me

[gundamned]

[It can get weirder.]

Training. Human hunting. Crafting of spell components. I have many dark arts I devote myself to...

Of course most of my time was devoted to managing my blog.

[disequilibria]

why do you hunt humans?

[ and what are you if not human?? definitely weirder. ]

[patriotnow]

Eh, can you maybe be more specific, yeah?

[disequilibria]

I don't want to be.

[patriotnow]

Then it is a little difficult to answer you question. If I am honest I do not think 'normal' exists.

[disequilibria]

What do you do every day?
