Re: the circumstances of your arrival

[myfingerpoints]

So, let me get this straight: My world has been destroyed along with my friends and family, I'm stuck in a tower forever, and on top of that, I wake up in a room with a raging fever?

Boy, things sure are looking up for me. I can't wait...

Ooookay, then. I'll just, uh, take your word for it then.

[He totally thinks you're off your rocker, Samus.]

[morphballin]

I guess you're from one of those mundane universes without weird creatures, then?

[myfingerpoints]

Er...define "weird creatures."

[morphballin]

Well. They say a picture's worth a thousand words, so...

[Samus activates a holo-emitter, and displays a standard Space Pirate footsoldier for Phoenix.]

Wow, OK. Firstly, if you're suggesting that...that thing is just a "weird" creature, I'd tell you you're crazy! Which is what I'm doing right now, I guess. Secondly, yes, yes I am from one of those wonderfully mundane universes without weird creatures. I couldn't be happier.

Well, there's far stranger things I've encountered in my travels. [She chuckles, shutting the image down.] Given the reactions you've been having, I figured it'd be best to go a little easy on you.

[myfingerpoints]

Really? Er, thanks. I'm sorry if that was a little rude of me. Kind of a kneejerk reaction there, huh? [uneasy laughter.]

[morphballin]

Well, given that seeing aliens isn't a usual occurrence for you, I'm willing to let it slide. [Tease tease tease.]

[myfingerpoints]

Thanks a bunch.

My name's Phoenix, by the way.

Samus Aran. Nice to meet you.
