A Random Nexus Portal [tm] flares to life not too far from the Sign, just long enough to reveal a Spartan, metal-walled fortress interior

If dying is anything like being in a coma, then yeah, not so much fun.

[finalstanza]

"I don't know. 'Coma' doesn't happen for me."

... which might not be exactly true, but Ballade doesn't know that.

[sweethellion]

*snort* I thought the same thing until it happened.

[finalstanza]

"I don't think it's the same situation, at all."

The snort draws a briefly-irritated glance; Quint would get the same kind of tone, sometimes.

[sweethellion]

Oh, I agree. I just haven't died yet, so I don't have anything to relate your question to. *seems fully unphased by the irritated look*

[finalstanza]

"Then why did you respond, if you don't relate to the question? It doesn't seem to make much sense --"

Never-ending source of questions here, it seems.

[sweethellion]

Honestly? Because you have seriously pretty hair. *she gives a smirky grin* And I'm bored and trying to reintegrate myself into the Nexus. Training's been hell and I haven't been here in a while, and what better way to reintegrate myself then, oh, answer questions asked by pretty-haired people?

[finalstanza]

Blinking, Ballade runs one hand through his hair as if her comment was only half-comprehensible at best. Which isn't so far from the mark, really.

Time to try and rally himself ...

"Reintegrate? I don't understand."

[sweethellion]

*oh, how she adores throwing people off-center!*

Have you seen this place? You need to orient yourself, you know? Integrate with the Nexusness of it. *makes an ebb-and-flow gesture*

[finalstanza]

"No."

"I've only just arrived, and I won't be staying. The Doctor will be needing me in the Fortress -- and I don't think I follow, about 'Nexusness'."

[sweethellion]

Fortress? *eyebrow* Sounds interesting. And the Nexusness, you know- AV field, LOLs? Come on, you haven't gotten the speech yet?

[finalstanza]

He's starting to look slightly off-put by the attitude and the way she responds. Are all humans like this?

"I've just arrived. Where would there be time for a speech?"

[sweethellion]

*oh, he thinks the way she's acting is off-putting? he should have seen her before she started training. as it is, she's behaving herself quite well.*

Whoa, so I'm here to help pop your Nexus cherry! *grinnygrin* Don't eat or drink anything, avoid random buttons, don't take things strangers are handing out, and for the love of whatever deity you worship, don't inhale colored gases.

*pause* There's also the anti-violence field, but that's boring and kind of a downer.

[finalstanza]

Ballade takes this recital without much concern -- or note of the euphemism, for that matter. Shrugging slightly he looks fairly unconcerned.

"I don't eat, I don't breathe. And not touching things is normal enough ..."

"I don't see why an 'anti-violence' anything is boring. That's a strange thing to say."

[sweethellion]

Well, I'm a strange person. *grin* And you seem to be pretty damn well LOL-proof. Lucky you. My uncle got turned into a puppy once. *pause* And so did the alternate of my other mother.... aaaaand I think my cousin got turned into something, too. *shrug* Crazy shit happens here.

[finalstanza]

"It sounds odd enough, but I won't be staying ..."

"So if you know all these things, why let it still happen to you?"
