[ NEW MONTH, NEW US. Are you attempting to figure out ways to solve Naoko and Jenn's respective problems? Helping to make the base island nice and fancy? Or any other type of shenanigan that isn't listed above because I don't know your life and am not privy to every single bad idea to come across the crew? Well, it's time to make all of that happen here!

Anyway have fun and use this for threading. Make sure to check out the November OOC post and there is also a CR meme up. THAT'S IT, HAPPY SCORPIO MONTH!!! ]

You really mogdon't.

[ at this point she is legitimately curious about what the heck a moogle is though. ]

Are they really that annoying?

[aheroipray]

But it'd be mogwrong of me to do so.

[ a pause. ]

Yes. They are that insufferable. You've not known true aggravation until you must needs help a moogle. They're notorious pranksters, horribly inefficient, and lazy to boot. Normally I find some regret in slapping someone to their senses, but... should it be a moogle...

[heroina]

Oh. They sound like fawn, actually.

[ only without the whole always trying to mooch money off you thing?? wait actually ]

What are they like financially?

[aheroipray]

They're... honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a moogle handle gil. That's probably for the best. A fawn?

[heroina]

It's easiest to describe them as half goat, half human creatures. They are notoriously lazy and will do anything to swindle you out of your entire purse.

[ and then there's the greek equivalent, which are satyrs... satyrs actually do work and help out and are the complete opposite of fawn?? it actually annoys reyna that the romans got the short end of the stick there. ]

[aheroipray]

What's a human?

[ the more important part here obviously. ]

[heroina]

Most of the people on this base are human. You probably have a different word for us, maybe?

[ dori actually explained the whole hyur thing to her but reyna obviously... does not know the two of them are from the same place, so. ]

[aheroipray]

[ irritably: ]

Oh. The Hyurs.

[heroina]

[ she snorts. ]

Do you know Dori then?

[aheroipray]

Doeranka? Large, muscular and with a booming voice?

[heroina]

That's him. We arrived at the same time.

[ he...... was not wearing any pants.... ]

[aheroipray]

What a fateful encounter. He is quite a character... I suppose I shouldn't be surprised he would be here as well. A Serpent, a Flame... all we're missing is a Storm.

He treated you well, I presume.

[heroina]

[ reyna has no idea wtf she is talking about but. whatever. sure, they are missing a storm. ]

... Yes, he did actually. He's pretty nice.

1/2

[aheroipray]

[ yep, get used to rambling. she doesn't get to talk to a lot of people who don't have political clout so whoops, how do you off switch. ]

It's a bit impressive how gentle someone can be, despite their appearances.

[aheroipray]

Of course, that's if you can understand him. Which I applaud you if you could.

[heroina]

There is some confusion, but I think I get the gist of it?

[ ignoring the fact that allumette says things that go over reyna's head too. just... for a different reason. ]

[aheroipray]

[ a pause--a flash of shock--before she responds; ]

You're a better linguist than I am, then.

[heroina]

I'm used to heavy accents.

[ she waves it off though. ]

You aren't a... Hyur then?

[aheroipray]

Pardon? Of course not.

[ she's treated to an image of allu in the mirror, pointed ears and strange, almost reflective eyes marking her as a bit different.

plus you know she's barely bigger than a yardstick. ]

I'm a Lalafell.

[heroina]

[ oh, that's cute. ]

I'm sorry, I've never heard of your species. It's nice to meet you though.

[aheroipray]

[ yes she is, thank you very much. ]

A pleasure to meet you as well. Not surprising that you haven't heard of Lalafell, we do tend to be quite preoccupied with matters of our own. Though I have heard of many, many Hyurs. --humans, rather. I was raised by them, in fact.

[heroina]

Oh, were you? We do seem to be everywhere.

[ even though reyna is technically half human but. whatever. details. ]

[aheroipray]

My name is Allumette Honeycutt, Allu for short. It's not a name my people ever would've used... my wife, Kakari Lakari, is the same race as I am, yet she was raised within our culture and has the name to show for it. From what I know, Hyurs--humans have no conventions at all. Or are there rules that I'm not aware of? I certainly can't parse it.
