[An elf appears on the datapad screen. She appears to be warily inspecting the device, which is on the floor. Maybe she's had too many bad experiences with mirror-type objects. She taps it lightly a few times before she stands up, looking around-- not talking to anything or anyone in particular.]

Did I fall asleep? The Fade looks so much more gray

The rolling tin cans should have clothes stuffed inside.

Just don't start breaking them. Some of the people around here get a little sensitive about that.

Yes, the metal people. Someone told me about them... [But she got distracted.]

Does everyone arrive in their underthings?

[nodaisybell]

Every once in a while someone will show up in some space spandex but yeah, for the most part.

[Sorta talking to herself.] This sounds like a dream Isabela once told me of. She has a very vivid imagination...

[Oh right, someone's here.] That was rude of me, sorry! I'm Merrill. Are you a spirit?

[nodaisybell]

You know we can hear you, right? Or well, I can.

[Pause.] Uh, no. I'm Joker. You'd be one of those pre-electricity people, right?

[imrambling]

Oh, yes, I know...

I think so. I'm from Kirkwall.

[So it's like a tiny Eluvian that actually works. ISN'T THIS IRONIC. She frowns.]

Never heard of Kirkwall? Where are you from then?

Arcturus Station, which isn't exactly in this galaxy so me telling you this is kind of pointless. Its in space, or you know, among the stars or whatever.

I suppose it would be. Pointless, that is. [She looks slightly dejected.] Is it nice, living in the middle of the stars? Are you close enough to touch them?

[He looks a little guilty but apologies aren't really his thing and neither is tact.]

They aren't something you'd wanna touch, mostly because they're really hot. Uh, you know the sun, right? Stars are just billions of those, just... A lot farther away.
