Duodécima ⚜ Roda [February 26th, afternoon; video]

[malandragem]

Good afternoon, Death City...!

[Fabiola's settled onto one of the swings in the park, and is rocking back and forth as she waves at the screen. It's likely disorienting as all get-out, but she... probably doesn't know that. Damn 90s kids and their lack of webcam etiquette. She stops swinging when she starts to talk though, so that's good, right?]

As it seems to be a month for asking questions, I was wondering- there are plenty of residents here that would be considered Aliens- that is, extraterrestrials, from other planets and the like. Would some of you mind terribly telling me about the places where you are from? I am- [kind of a sci-fi nerd--]- quite interested in learning about what kind of civilizations occur on other planets.

[She rocks back and forth slightly again, and then taps her chin with a gloved finger, thinking.]

And on an unrelated note- does anyone know anything about painting murals? Or taking care of chickens? The two are quite unrelated, but I thought if anything, someone who knows something about either of them might know catch sight of this.

[Seriously, there is a ninja chicken overtaking a corner of her living room, DC. Help.]

We are all alien to each other regardless of if you are human or not.

[Video]

[malandragem]

[Head... tilt.]

I suppose that is true- though that is why I clarified about other planets. Should I have, perhaps, elaborated further?

[Video]

[aiursfavoredson]

No, this was just an awareness that the term alien is also referencing yourself and other species from Earth.

[hoennmaihime]

I'm not an alien, but I've met aliens. Do you want to hear about them?

[Video]

[malandragem]

[She perks up a little and nods.]

Certainly! Learning from a human's perspective always helps!

video.

[dissenter]

I'd be glad to speak about my world -- and perhaps the others I've visited -- if you do the same about yours.

[well he doesn't look like an alien, but he's sure got a taste in headwear that no one else on this planet has.]

video.

[malandragem]

You have been to other worlds as well?

[She is so interested, OuO]

Well- I cannot say I will be very informative, but I can certainly try.

[trageteas]

I couldn't be called an alien, but I know a bit about painting. [Quite a bit, actually, but he'd rather treat it as an academic interest than admitting his personal investment.] What is it that you were wondering about?

[malandragem]

My partner and I were planning to paint a mural- I was wondering if there was any particular way to go about doing that, or if there was any particular paint or technique we should use.

It's been mentioned already, but I think under these circumstances we all count as aliens, don't we? This isn't our would after all, even if for some of us it has similarities to the worlds we're from.

[voice]

[malandragem]

Yes, so I have heard. However, as it stands, I simply meant those not of Earth, considering that this place is close enough to it to count, in my opinion.

[halfcow]

Chickens?

Feed it corn. [how hard can it me right]

[Video]

[malandragem]

[Ninja. Chicken.]

Is that all?

[cursedwithagift]

I'm not an alien, no matter what anyone says. [his voice is pointed. god damn he will not have this problem again.]

video;

[malandragem]

Well... if it helps at all, you certainly do not look like one?

[He was wondering when your curiosity about aliens would get the better of you and make you make an entry like this!]

Has anyone said anything about knowing how to pain murals?

[video]

[malandragem]

[She managed to hold out a lot longer than anticipated, that's for sure.]

Well, one person knows about actual paintings, but nothing about murals so far...

[kuramaless]

[There's only one thing he's really getting from this, because What? Aliens? Weirdo.]

Chickens?

[malandragem]

[Hey, don't knock her love of aliens bro. Aliens are cool.

Well- Bumblebee is cool. The rest of them are pretty weird, yeah.]

A chicken, to be exact. I somewhat inherited it from a previous resident of Death City.

[video]

[pathofstrength]

Ya should talk t' the little guys with th' big heads an' floppy-eared hats. They're aliens! There's a red one named Giroro an' a green one I've seen on th' video.

[Chickens...the way she's had that explained to her, they're the "animals" that are like Torchic, right? Oh it's so nice to finally hear about someone keeping one instead of eating one.]

A chicken'll need space ta run around in, right? What kinda personality has it got?

[video]

[malandragem]

You mean the Keronians? I am somewhat acquainted with the both of them. They are- [really, really cute]- a very interesting species.

[Fabi would have eaten it if it was a store-bought one and not a pet, bro.]

I think you may be right about the space- it certainly does get around the apartment a lot. As far as personality... [She laughs sheepishly.] I am not certain how I should find that out, really.

[ video ] Hope this isn't too late!

[blue_wayfinder]

I've met aliens before back home...[She laughs a little.] But I suppose in a way we're all aliens to each other, aren't we?

And I don't know much about painting murals. [Or chickens] I've only ever painted small objects.

[ video ] not at all!

[malandragem]

Yes, so I keep hearing. [Can you tell she's a little annoyed by it? Honestly, semantics.] I was not aware you had traveled so far, in your own home however, Aqua.

[That, at least, she seems amused by. She doesn't really figure you for the 'adventuring far from home' kind.]

That is quite alright that you do not- it seems that painting is not a very common hobby among those here.

[sermonize]

I'm not sure you would find my home pleasant.

[malandragem]

[Give her a moment, because she's going to stare at you long and hard, and then-]

I do beg your pardon, but... are you, by any chance, related to Karkat?

[The resemblance is a bit hard to miss.]
