This is Queen Elsa of Arendelle.

[ She appears on the network calm and composed, no smile or anything, but she hesitates after speaking. She feels a bit awkward about addressing everyone on the ship so soon after her arrival, but it's important. It's an important step in her plan to keep herself at a distance from others, to keep them all safe from her. So here she is, likely to sound like a horribly rude person, but it needs to be done. ]

...I suppose titles have no meaning here anymore. No matter. This is Elsa, and I would simply like to request that those of you on the same deck as me avoid my room. Consider it off limits. I-- I have a certain need for privacy and don't like to be disturbed.

That said, now for those that I work with: please keep your distance from me while we work together. I...wouldn't want anything to happen. By that, I mean I... I have an aversion to touch. It makes me uncomfortable and I wouldn't want to make anyone else uncomfortable, either.

I realize these may seem like odd requests, but they are what I require. Thank you for taking them into consideration and thank you for your time.

[ There's a curt nod, and the video feed cuts off. ]

That's certainly a much nicer way of looking at it. Thank you for that, I'll...try to keep it in mind and not worry, in that case.

I've been assigned as a cryo repair technician, so I suppose I work in the medbay.

Oh, that sounds cool. In fact, it sounds chilly.

[GRIN.]

I'm the chef's assistant. Do you have a favorite food?

[ The use of the word chilly throws her, drops her smile and switches her expression to something more concerned for a moment. However, upon realizing that there's no way this girl could know of her powers, and that she was talking about the cryo pods, Elsa relaxes. ]

Yes, it's...chilly. Luckily, I don't get cold easily.

[ A tentative smile. ]

Oh, that's a nice job, if you enjoy cooking. A favourite food? Well... If I'm being honest, anything with chocolate tends to top the list.

Chocolate's my favorite too! It's so sweet, and you can eat it in so many different ways. Milkshakes, cakes, candies, hot chocolate...! It's the perfect food. [Clare sighs dreamily, and then snaps to attention:] Except it doesn't have much nutritional value. But, it's good for the soul! That must count for something.
