So, space. The Final Frontier. Astonishing.

Also unexpected. I take it none of us signed up for this though so I won't bitch. Much.

Anyway, I have a series of questions not ranked by importance:

1. Where are the aliens? The gross tentacley ones from tv.
2. Are WE the aliens here? Gasp. The turn around.
3. Capri Sun? Tang? Tab? Any of these available?

This isn't a Soylent Green kinda place right? Lie to me if you have to. Thx.

Yeah, you are the aliens here.

[Because pulling that line is never not funny.]

[quickfingers]

[Be cool, Peter. You've seen big blue mutants. Be cool. Be cool.]

I see. [Be c-] What, ah... what are you? Besides clearly not human.

[nyx_it]

For starters? Vetra Nyx.

[She cants her head to one side, amused.]

I'm a turian. How about you, besides clearly human?

[quickfingers]

Peter Maximoff. [He replies, brows briefly furrowed before he gives a shrug.]

More rad than the average human but still feeling equally displaced about now.

[nyx_it]

"More rad"?

You feel like elaborating on that one?

[quickfingers]

Well, I've got a mutant gene. So I'm cooler than most humans?

[And unlike some mutants who draw a divide between themselves and humans sharply, he considers "more rad than" a better descriptor than what other mutants might say. It's a breezy way to skirt a lot of the drama, at least.

Is he still prepared to have to explain mutant in this context? Kind of.] Way cooler.

[Buddy where she's from, that's a term out of science fiction -- har har. Her head tilts, but there's... not a lot of reaction to his revelation, besides that.]

So... what? Lower body temperature or something?

[quickfingers]

It's different for each person. I haven't actually seen anyone's gene manifest as too similar, but I have seen pretty much everything from telepaths to blue yetis. [SORRY HANK.]

"I run fast" is an understatement, but the easiest way to explain it.

[nyx_it]

What the hell is a "yeti"?

[Please explain, human.]

Okay, fair enough. How fast?

[quickfingers]

Yeti - like, uh. Sasquatch? Big ugly hairy type of monster... [MORE SORRY NOW HANK.]

But uh, real fast? [He gives a little shrug.] Never been able to measure it exactly but it's probably faster than you think, and then some? It's just what I do.

[nyx_it]

Sorry -- don't exist in space.

[Everything has scales in space.]

... faster than a ship? Space vessel, I mean.

[quickfingers]

Never measured but like, maybe? [He gives a heartier shrug.]

I can do a lot in a little time, that's all I know.

[nyx_it]

Hey, if we ever get the storm cleared outside...

... want to try?

[quickfingers]

Sounds like a terrible idea with potential for something to go horribly wrong.

[...] Hell yeah, sign me up.

[nyx_it]

If the storm clears up, it's just space. What's so terrible about that?
