[If it matters, you can hear one (1) Seamus Zelazny Harper laughing hysterically and uncontrollably in the background. Beka, on the other hand, looks downright pissed off.]

This wishing is bullshit. What's the matter, universe, can't even grant me my real ship? Is she too much for you? Is this the best you can do?

[She holds up a toy model of a

That's the last time I go wishing on stars. Useless bunch of... [Grrr.]

It gave me... a toy. Instead of my ship. Ha, ha, ha.

[ voice ]

[eternityunseen]

Maybe it was trying to teach you to wish a little... smaller?

[ voice ]

[slipstreaming]

Yeah, sure. Doesn't mean I appreciate it. [Mumble mutter.]

It can give people wings but it can't give me a ship. Odd specifications, if you ask me.

Oh, Beka, it is a darling little ship! I'm sure it is lovely in actuality, though do your ships not have sails?

[Alexis has rather an impressive set of sail-wings herself, as anyone can see. She does seem to be dressed in something besides her eighteenth century clothing, even if it isn't completely modern.]

Or you could borrow mine, if they were not rather attached to me. But have you been well?

[video]

[slipstreaming]

Nope, no sails. There's no wind in space, so they really wouldn't do any good.

[She smiles a bit, and when she notices the wings, she perks up a bit, her anger at Harper (momentarily) put aside.]

They look cute on you, Alexis! What's it like to have them? And, yeah, I've been well. A little agitated [Pointed glare off to the side!... then back] at certain people, but great otherwise. What about you?

[federalista]

It doesn't make sleeping an easy task! But I have tried gliding about with them, a little higher each time, and it's - extraordinary. Though I still think flying among the stars must be far better.

[Alexis laughs as she glimpses back to, where someone is having a rather intense lecture at the computer.]

Besides the wings, quite well! I've a job, an apartment at the hostel with two rooms, a bit of company - and they have opened something - an ice cream parlor? Do they have ice cream in space, too?

[video]

[slipstreaming]

Well, I'm sure it's a completely different feeling to spread your own wings and flying around. But yeah, in my opinion? Nothing beats flying through space. [She smiles, kind of distantly. It's obvious she misses it so much...

... But she shakes that off, back to the now.] Ooh, ice cream. Yeah, they've got it all over in space. Everyone has a different idea on how it's made though, so you never know what you're going to get. Where did they open the one here?
