[ You can make VIDEOS ON THIS THING.
Now that Nina knows this, no one is safe. Well, okay, not true, because she's still got to get the hang of it. You, the viewer, are once again treated to a vision of... the Aid Station wall.
Nina: "Where's the camera again?"
John, her long-suffering patient who isn't suffering as much as he is laughing at her: "On the corner, there."
Nina: "But that means I have to hold my wrist like--" Abruptly, the picture changes and now Nina's squarely in view, "--oh yes, you're right. That's a better idea."
John: "...so are you gonna say something or?"
Nina: "Oh Saints, is it recording already? Blast--"
Bright smile is go! ]
Hello, everyone! If we haven't met yet, I'm Nina Zenik.
There are so many of us here from so many different places. It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly two months, and now more of us are coming. I’m not used to making announcements like this [ some noise from beside her, Nina looks toward John and corrects: ] -- or, posts? Apparently they’re called posts. -- but even some the Adament crew I’ve spoken to are interested in my questions, so they’ve assured me they don’t mind if I - post - with this.
So tell us - what’s it like where you’re from? What are the legends that are most popular? What are the courtship practices? [ She’s absolutely not crafting this whole post because she’s searching for ideas on this, nope. ] Are you one of those of us have been fighting a war -- excuse the question if it’s rude, there just do seem to be a lot of us. I’d ask you to talk about your favorite foods instead, but that might be more depressing than helpful. Oh - here’s one: If you’re from an Earth, how do you know it’s a different Earth than all the other Earths? And if not, does your planet have a name or is mine the only one that doesn't?

cw for... horrible... Grisha deaths, I suppose
No, I don't know any stories like that. [ There's Sankta Lisbetha, who was drawn and quartered for being unable to repeat a miracle, and Sankt Emerens who was abandoned by the people he helped and left to suffocate, forgotten so they could feast, and who could forget Sankta Anastasia, who discovered her blood could heal and gave and gave and gave of it until the last drop was taken from her and she turned into a husk - or was executed by being thrown to savaging wolves who left nothing of her. ]
...though come to think of it, death is rather a theme in the stories of my people. I suppose that's not surprising. It's the getting to it bit that's interesting.
[ Which way will they kill us today? How, then, will we live?
Fighting. And that was a fight she hadn't truly given up, even if she'd walked away from the war. ]

（ it's heavy, though. ）
You should come up with your own. Something a little less macabre.

I'm Ravkan.
[ It's said as if this is a sufficient explanation, and perhaps it would be if you were, you know, from the same planet. ]
I doubt anything I come up with would end any differently, unless I was making up a dream.
[ Or a lie. ]

（ which, you know, has its own struggles. there's a reason he and billie got a divorce, after all, and it surely wasn't happily ever after. but. live and learn. ）

No one would believe that. [ Then she sobers a little. ] Although I suppose we would like to. That's the kind of story that has you waking up stripped in an alley in Ketterdam.
no subject
instead: ）
Ketterdam. Rough place?
no subject
Let's just say it has a reputation. [ A half shrug. ] I haven't spent much time there, myself. It's the capital of another nation.
