[Charis really doesn't seem to notice that the tablet is on, or maybe she just doesn't care, either way she seems very interested what the talking candy is saying; interested and annoyed.]

Did you know that you would be considered valuable breeding stock because you're a Kheran woman whose still fertile?

...What did you just say? [She glares at

[ eyebrow slowly raising as the candy goes on ] Damn, your life sucks.

[wasinnocent]

You live as long as I have you pick up your fair share of baggage.

[hellodeadpeople]

Doesn't always take a long life for it. How long'd that be, anyway? You one of the immortals?

video;

[wasinnocent]

Nope, but it does mean I get the honor of having a hell of a lot more time to collect baggage. [She leans her head against her hand and thinks for a moment.] More than 5,000 years, the exact number got lost somewhere along the way. [She nods at her question.] Yup, I am.

[hellodeadpeople]

[ a low whistle ] Wow, Grandma, racking up the years there. So how's the whole immortality bag been working for you?

video;

[wasinnocent]

[She laughs at that.] It wasn't so bad on my home planet. On Earth...well, immortality isn't as fun around a bunch of mortals.

[hellodeadpeople]

So you're, like, what, superwoman? Rocketed over from whatever planet turns out all the super-people?

video;

[wasinnocent]

Superwoman? Hardly. [She shrugs.] Earth's not the only planet that has people on it. I just happened to be part of a very unlucky group that crash landed on Earth and became stranded.

[hellodeadpeople]

Yeah, I've noticed. And humans are the only species in the galaxy. You'd have to be living in a moon cave not to know that where I'm from.

The rest of your group 5,000 years old too?

[wasinnocent]

You have experience with space travel or something?

[Shrug.] No, we're not all the same age. That'd be strange.

video;

[hellodeadpeople]

Plenty. A lot more than anyone else you'll find here. Shit, I thought I was the only one.

[ eyerooooll ] Not what I meant, Granny. Are you all past normal human life expectancy?

video;

[wasinnocent]

Well, now you've got company. So, you from Earth or somewhere else originally?

We're not human, so yup, we are. [You amuse her.]

video;

[hellodeadpeople]

Somewhere else. Never actually made it to Earth.

Then what are you? Because usually it goes 'if you look like a duck and quack like a duck...' [ :| w/e, Granny, she doesn't quite hate you yet, so happy times for you ]

Re: video;

[wasinnocent]

That's a shame. It's not a bad little planet.

Definitely not a duck. [She will stop being a smartass one day. Maybe.] I'm Kheran. We come from a planet very, very far from Earth called Khera.

[hellodeadpeople]

I've seen postcards. Didn't really seem worth the trip to get back to my roots when I could be checking out all the scum and villiany in the rest of the galaxy.

Hey, man, I know people who are jellyfish. Asking first is just good manners. [ Someday she will too. Except not 8( ] Never heard of it. Which isn't really surprising.

[wasinnocent]

The rest of the galaxy is probably a lot more exciting.

Jellyfish people? Were they from an aquatic world? [Smartasses have more fun.] No, it's not really is it? It's a big universe.
