[ She's been meaning to ask this for a while, but never got around to it. Until now! ]

So I know you've all just finished filling out Stark's questionnaire, but I've got another question for you. Short, this time.

This is for everyone, not just the new lot, by the way. And if you're just responding with audio, say your name before you talk, because there's a lot of us nowadays... Actually, say your name even if you're using the cameras.

[ Pause, as she remembers how to phrase the question ] Basically... What's your specialty? If you were known for something back home, or you've realised since getting here that you can do something that the rest of us can't, what is it?

He considers this.

"It might be enough. It is not truly a lack of ability.It is more... we have the ability to touch human minds. But to do so... Too often it causes more harm than it helps. The mind of an Old One is not an easy one."

"Lucky for us I've got experience with 'difficult'," Nita says.

She's not joking, nor saying it jokingly.

Reaching a hand to him, she adds, "When you're ready?"

He frowns, still a little hesitant at the idea, but he nods and pictures the memory in his mind before carefully sending it to her.

[Action] Let me know if this is okay!

[unfavorableinstigation]

The memory being secondhand, in a sense, makes it a little fuzzier, but Nita can see it well enough in her own mind's eye.

That's a book she's holding, Nita 'says' abruptly, zeroing in on the most familiar element - setting aside the orange hoodie, of course.

Not that I can see what it says, but that's probably part of why the memory cut off?

[Action] That works

[signseeker]

I got the feeling from it that there was something here that something did not want me to see. Will's mind had the feeling of agreement.

Or just the fact that this person's not of our group at all, Nita observes.

Noting - somewhat distantly - the silver tracings on the young woman's arms, Nita shakes her head and lets the connection fade.

"Don't suppose you recognized those tattoos from anything either?"

Re: [Action]

[signseeker]

Will shakes his head as he feels the connection end.

"No,I can't say I've ever seen anything like them. I have been looking,as we go to planets. But nothing seems to match them so far."

Re: [Action]

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita makes a face.

"Something to keep in mind for the future, then."

Like most everything else they learned about this train.

Sparing one last glance in the direction of the engine, Nita says, "Did you still want to talk about Nautilus, as well?"

Given that the issue of the train is more currently pressing and all.

"If you don't mind. I'm rather curious how we came to know each other."

Re: [Action]

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita settles her arms back down at her sides as memories start playing themselves over again.

"We'd both been Called by the same being to the same place - which, technically, were one and the same: Nautilus, the Aeon of Change, who'd been Bound into the form of a city as a sort of multiversal hub.

"You showed up... a year after I did? Year and a half? But there were dozens of people in Nautilus over the years, so it wasn't as empty as it sounds."

Dozens, not hundreds; those who had Woken at Cyrus' Call had been few and far-between.
