RE: Well I'll be...

You actually went through with it? You actually made me an account on a different platform? I thought you were just going to be all talk.

Who knew?

Muns do a lot of things you don't expect them to.

I thought mine was all talk, too.

I haven't decided if I like this sudden turn of events.

There's something to be said about reliability.

Yeah, I guess there is.

[He looks her over]

So...where are you from?

According to the mun, I'm from the Null Void frontier. My canon has a habit of changing things about characters whenever they felt like it.

That has to be annoying and confusing at the same time.

That must stink.

At least your Mun picked one and went with it.

What..what's a Null Void Frontier?

Are you, like, an alien?

It is. Oh it is, believe me, kid.

The Null Void Frontier is something like the Null Void but it's not a pocket dimension. It's more hostile wasteland where you have to be the right sort of specie to tough it out.

I left the first chance I got.

Yeah, I'm an alien.

You a normal human?

Is your specie the right kind of specie to tough it out?

[He pauses after listening to her.]

Whoa. An alien.

I mean, it was either that or an EVO, but still...that's kind of heavy...but cool.

Really cool.

Me?

Nah.

Dad says I just look like one.

He says I'm a humanoid EVO.

I don't think Mum knows.

Or pretends not to.

Doesn't matter.

My dazzle isn't terribly theatrical.

Yeah, it is. Doesn't mean I gotta like it nor stick around. It isn't exactly an ideal place for individuals who are less inclined for violence.

[she tilts her head in interest]

A humanoid "EVO"? I don't think I've heard of your kind. Does that mean you're not human?

Good plan. If you don't like fighting, you gotta get out of there.

Sorta. Maybe. I don't really know. Don't think about it that much.

I'm human, plus, whatever the nanites made.

But my dad is an EVO, and pretty obviously so.

It is complicated, you know?

Nanites? [if she had brows they'd be raised in interest right now. Instead have crimson eyes widening] You have nanites in you?

Yeah.

Everyone on Earth does.

Since the Event, anyway.

[she taps the mark below her lip in thought, trying to remember if she brought a sampling kit with] Really? Do you know the details of this "Event"?

I don't think anyone knows the whole story.

If they do, they aren't telling.

Well, a lot of scientists were working on the Nanite Project.

They were doing to fix everything. Disease, hunger, everything. They didn't want it to exist anymore...so they made billions of these little robots to change things...but something happened and the reactor exploded. It killed a lot of the people working on it. The blast sent all those tiny nanites into the atmosphere...and they went into everything.

And what exactly did these nanites do to you? You don't look too unusual. Granted I've only encountered two humans in my lifetime but you resemble the ones I have met.

[Yeah, he knows.]

[It is sort of a sore spot.]

Yeah.

I do, don't I?

Some people say I was one of the lucky ones, I look like a normal person, but really?

My dazzle isn't very cool.

I can just tell how people are feeling.

That's it.

My nanites just tell me how people and animals feel.

[For a ten year old, this is decidedly not cool.]

Dazzle? Is that what you call your modifications?

[she tilts her head in curiosity] Just emotions? And just reading? No manipulation of any sort?

Yeah.

I made it up. Even though mine isn't very dazzling.

Yeah.

So far.

I mean, I would like if it did something other than that.

Manipulation would be cool. I could make people happy or relax it something.

That would be a real dazzle.

Having multiple platforms does have its advantages, I can assure you.

I guess so. But if there's anything I've learned from past experiences with my mun, she's got too short an attention span.

You know?

So does mine.

I've often wondered what makes her decide to keep me around.

Not that I'm complaining.

I ask mine point blank. For all the good that did for me. She can't even give me a straight answer.

I am sorry for your troubles, Lovely.

It must be terribly frustrating for someone of your, ah, stature.

I appreciate it.

After having worked for Azmuth and having to deal with a mun like mine, you'd think I'd be used to it by now.

Urg.

Azmuth?

My condolences again.

Is he as awful as the rumors say?

He's tolerable.

Just in small, controlled increments.

I am under the impression that that is how a lot of geniuses are.

What were you working on?

I guess to be a genius in one thing, you need to be a complete idiot in some other field. Azmuth's just happens to be social graces.

At the moment, we're busy making the latest laboratory location up to Azmuth's standards.

A little do it yourself mad science?

Definitely something I'd be interested in.

Do keep me posted on your progress, won't you?

It's only "mad" if it doesn't work.

I think I can manage to get you a sneak peek at some choice samples.

For the right price. [Azmuth is also apparently a cheapskate]

True enough.

I'd much appreciate that, Lovely.

Ah, of course.

Care to talk business?

What is it your reptillian heart desires?

Not to be called "reptilian" for starters.

Actual details of the trade, though? Best discussed away from prying eyes.

Never know when a plumber will appear out of nowhere and ship you off to Incarcecon regardless the severity of your infraction.

Apologies, Lovely.

I'm afraid information on your sort is sketchy at best.

What do you prefer?

Isn't that the truth. They do have an annoying habit of popping up and spoiling your fun.

Secured line.

You'll know when I have something.

That's ever do much better.

Alright.

I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

They can surprise you, now and then. Not that much surprises me, these days.

That a good or a bad thing?

Myaxx? Man, I didn't think I'd get to see you again.

Ben? [she leans forward to get a better look]

Do you human age rapidly? Last time I saw you, you looked... smaller.

What did you expect? It's been six years.

Six years? [she'd quirk a brow in surprise if she had eyebrows. Instead, the chimera taps the mark beneath her lip in thought] Time does pass differently for people travelling in hyperspeed when compared to those living on a planet.

[this particular Myaxx was also taken exactly after she and Azmuth left Xenon]
