Here is an overflow log for the Black Rock, New Mexico mission! The original log is here, and the OOC information is here. Start new threads or continue old ones, this is just some more room for it to grow into.

You haven't...[Realization seems to dawn on her face.] No, of course you haven't. You don't need to apologize! I'm so sorry, I forgot some of the others told me there aren't any adults on Alternia any more. I didn't realize it would be shocking to you, I'm still used to there being young ones about there.

[speakveryclearly]

...Really?

[She sifts through the facts she has and vaguely recalls how, when you get down to it, trolls' fleetbound nature is imperially imposed.]

That is so many millennia ago.

[whomheloved]

Millennia?!

[Now it's Disciple's turn to look taken aback.]

I was told it was far in the past but not that far! Dear light, no wonder things have changed. [She frowns.] Even if whether it's for the better is debatable.

[speakveryclearly]

It would not entirely surprise me had that era of our history been twenty thousand sweeps ago, no.

[Give her a moment, Kanaya, she's having trouble comprehending the enormous length of time that separates them.]

But all the rest of you, you're from the same time! Aren't you? So why me, from then, and Psii... [A horrible, impossible thought occurs to her, and she shudders. It can't be, can it? No yellowblood could live even a fraction of that length of time...]

[speakveryclearly]

Psii??? [She doesn't recognize the name at all, though it sounds sort of like the start of Psionic. She does not exactly have access to a lot of history.]

[whomheloved]

Psiioniic. His title is the Psiioniic. A very dear friend of mine. He's here as well, but...not the same as I remember him. He must be from a long time after I am.

[speakveryclearly]

I.......... see...

[She is fighting the urge to shrug because she has just a hunch that might not be very polite.]

[whomheloved]

[Disciple smiles ruefully and shakes her head.]

I'm sorry, I'm bothering you by talking about people you've never even met. Don't worry about it. I think...I think I should probably be going now.

[speakveryclearly]

If you want... [Begins awkwardly shuffling away, which turns to proper walking when she glances at the town clock.]

I, I have a shift of work to resume anyway.

[whomheloved]

Okay. I'm glad I got to meet you, Kanaya. I hope we'll speak again.

[She smiles and gives her a small wave of farewell, making no move to follow her.]
