[The woman--she's clearly a woman--is sitting blithely at a desk. The Guide is a few feet away, and she is looking directly at it. It's pretty obvious from her clothing that she's the person who has been presenting herself as a man--as Donato, as Hot Pants.]My name is Guistina de Facia. I have gone by several names here, but they are all the same--

What changed, that you can talk freely now? [Renee seems curious more than anything else. Its clear she hasn't been drinking the water.]

[thinkin_arbys]

I learned some things about my home, so nothing that threatened me seems frightening anymore.

[hot_cyborg_girl]

Is this place that much of a threat?

[thinkin_arbys]

No, but the people from my home were incredibly dangerous.

[hot_cyborg_girl]

And you thought they were going to show up here?

[thinkin_arbys]

Yes, for various reasons, I did.

[hot_cyborg_girl]

Are any of them likely to show up now?

[thinkin_arbys]

Equally likely as they were before, but I don't have cause to fear them now.

[hot_cyborg_girl]

Oh?

[thinkin_arbys]

Yes.

[hot_cyborg_girl]

Did you get stronger, or are they no longer going to attack you, or what?

[thinkin_arbys]

They have no reason to attack me anymore besides hatred, and I doubt they would even then. The one who does threaten me would kill us all, regardless of who we may profess to be.

[hot_cyborg_girl]

Hmm. I hope the latter does not come here, then.

[thinkin_arbys]

Me, too. If he does, I'll do whatever is within my power to warn everyone, and to subdue him.

[hot_cyborg_girl]

I'm sure you wouldn't be fighting alone. They've got some pretty impressive tech here, and some amazing warriors.

[thinkin_arbys]

Admirable, great, but he may be invincible.

I would hope someone could find a way. Perhaps if he was overwhelmed, it would work.
