002 - Near - [Audio] - Please bear with him and his tl;dr

[whitestlie]

[A week of waiting had been enough. Near had see how the epidemic had subsided just as quickly as it had come, and all over the course of exactly one week, just as he was told. The event itself paved way for other advantages as well. Near did not have to worry about any sort of physical threats due to everyone else falling ill, and since those who

What kind of questions fur not average humans? What is better then afurage?

[The cat puns are coming fairly thick, although she doesn't sound like anything other than a thirteen year old.]

[Audio] - Near disapproves of your puns. Dx I on the other had love them. 8D

[whitestlie]

I want to get to know the different kinds of people I will be living with. [And partially so that he can get a good idea of who not to make angry, since Near's a wuss. D:]

So I will be asking a few general questions regarding their abilities and backgrounds, but it depends on the flow of conversation. Also, I clearly implied "other than," not "better than" average.

Does that clarify things?

[Audio] I haven't been using them as much as I should, so they are out in full force for Near.

[arsenic_catnip]

Nyokay! [Very, very chipper voice] I'm ofur then afurage, So I can answer your questions!

[A pawse]

I'm Nepata, green blood moirail of Equius, blue blood. I'm a troll from Alternia, and until being brought here, I've never seen a human in real life befure!

[Audio] ogod, yessss

[whitestlie]

Hello Nepata.

[Is the annoying way of talking via animal puns a trait of her species? If so, Near hopes there aren't more of them here.]

What is moirail, Equius, and Alternia?

[Audio]

[arsenic_catnip]

Moirail is the pale conciliatory quadrant! It means I keep Equius from going on a rampage and killing efuryone in sight the next time someone annoys him, and he gives me 'the purrtection one of his blood can purrvide'. [The last is said in a slightly mocking, altogether fond tone.]

Alternia is my planet, home of the Alternian galactic battle fleet.

[The Author is into very strange things. Near would ask for more clarification, but if he will continue to get insufficient pieces of gibberish from this girl, then it's a waste of time. Besides, he's not actually interested in the people themselves.]

Are any of your friends here as well?

N[Audio]

[arsenic_catnip]

Nyo... [She sounds very put out by that, and the cat puns start to slip] I'm the only troll here, and if I don't get back soon, Equius is going to be so worried...

I've been here more then a week!

[Audio] d'aww she's so cute xD

[whitestlie]

[Near makes a mental note. Perhaps there's a pattern in the way the Author chooses how many people from the same world to bring. Perhaps there isn't. But it doesn't hurt to keep a tally.]

So you are new.

[Since this girl is clearly the first of her kind here, there might be a waiting period before any others from her world show up. He would have to do what he does best, wait and see. Perhaps it would serve as an indicator in determining when new people from his own world would show up.

Next order of business.]

You mentioned battle fleet earlier. Are you a fighter?

[Audio]

[arsenic_catnip]

No. I'm only six sweeps old, and I think you have to survive past the first cull to be able to go onto the fleet.

Besides! I'm going to be an explorer!

[No, she's not. She'll end up tagging along after Equius.]

[Audio]

[whitestlie]

What are the tasks of the explorer?

[Audio]

[arsenic_catnip]

To expurrlor! [She fairly crows out the last word] Front of the galactic fleet, purrsuing leads of new planets to conquer! First on the battle field, pouncing on unexpecting prey...

[And, all of a sudden, the strange cat-pun girl seems far less cute, and far more deranged.]

[Audio]

[whitestlie]

[Girl sounds mentally unstable. Near is doubting more and more anything she's saying and is very close to just ending the feed.]

Do you have any special abilities then? Do you know how to pilot a ship?

[Audio]

[arsenic_catnip]

Nyo, but that's what training's fur! No one knows how to do anything like that on Alterina, only adults know how to pilot ships.

Why give the info to someone who would most likely be culled later?

[Audio]

[whitestlie]

Why would they be killed?

[Audio]

[arsenic_catnip]

Didn't fill their quadrants, didn't show respect to the adults, deformed, too low of blood for the job they want... There are lots of reasons. [Reasons that it's fairly clear from the twist in her voice she doesn't agree with, but are a fact of life]

[Audio] - Doh. Sorry about this ._.

[whitestlie]

[It is highly unlikely that this girl will pose a threat or be beneficial to him in the short run. Although there are still some holes left to be filled, Near has a pretty good idea of what to look out for should the Author decide to use this girl's world as part of a new plot. As long as he knows enough to be able to recognize an event and know who to contact about it, that was enough preparation for him. Other than that, since she's still relatively new, Near cannot rely much on any information from her regarding the manor itself. Therefore, this part of the assessment is over.]

How interesting. Well, thank you for your time.

[And he hangs up.]
