[Video] Egret Day 24, Afternoon

[wizard_redfive]

Hey, fellow passengers.

So I've got a look inside these ICP monitors. [She taps the screen.] Remotely, of course.

Its parts are about what you'd expect from similar technology. Not quite Earth tech, but close enough to make comparisons. What's really unique are the materials making up those parts. I've seen some off world metals in my day, but these are new. Some of their compounds aren't even on the periodic table! ...Yet.

[Dairine grins smugly.]

Has anyone looked into the metal that makes up other parts of the train? Maybe we could compare notes.

[She doesn't bring up the system or programming discoveries. Those Dairine wants to save for people she trusts.]

Comments

[wizard_redfive]

Very similar then.

[Nita was big with plants, and she's got more experience with healing spells than Dair. She wonders how her big sister feels about another rock expert around, what with her not-quite boyfriend still at home.]

Seems she's been making the rounds as train greeter.

[Dairine isn't surprised. Nita is personable and keen to help others. If school wasn't such a minefield of bullies, she probably would have made loads of friends. (Not that she needed them—the few they already had were a thousand times better than those cliques.)]

Yeah, Nita's nice... even if she is a complete nerd. [Little sister gotta tease.]

Empathy, huh? I guess it could get annoying. Admittedly, I rarely use my brand of telepathy with folks who aren't accustomed to it? But I've met other telepaths who've had a rougher time with the public.

Yeah, kinda, Nita has! Not that it's a bad thing. She's nice. And it's nice to meet you, too! Must be nice, if a bit annoying, to have your sibling on the train. If my brother were here it might be cool, but definitely annoying, too...for both of us!

[He snorts at that a little, especially since he knows they're both pains to each other, he and Alex.]

Some people don't like psychics, since some of the less ethical ones think it's cool to go rifling through people's brains. [Xander pauses, there.] Though most of the time I've got issues enough without unearthing other people's problems, if you ask me.

[wizard_redfive]

It has it's ups and downs. Definitely better than when I was stuck alone.

[Dairine had gotten by, as usual, but those years had worn on her more than she'd let on.]

For sure. [Wizardry might be about fixing problems, but as a result it gave Dair plenty of her own.] That's the kind of behavior that'd get a wizard in trouble with the Seniors. And the Powers that Be. Folks take infractions on the mind very seriously.
