[ 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?

I didn't expect such a vivid illustr. I didn't want to think about it THAT specifically.

Please don't 😂
Anyway. You've reminded me: I think this means we get to name our planet.

Seems a shame to name it that when I've never even seen the True Sea.

Given that we share a homeland, I'm sure there's little that you don't already know, at least in the general sense.

Though I do have a fondness for kartoshka and tea cakes.

If you want Earth-specific legends, we're going to be here a long time. We're, uh, a mythologically prolific people, let's say.

he could talk about wakȟáŋ tȟáŋka. he could talk about iktomi and the white buffalo. but those are his grandmother's stories, her beliefs, and he hasn't yet reached a point where he'll share them offhand with near-strangers.

Courtship practices where I'm from is usually asking people out for a drink.

he was on tinder for like, three seconds. that didn't work out so hot.

Been in two wars when I was younger. Been out of it for just over a decade, can't say as I'd fight another one. Especially one over someone else's money or land or resources.

[ Jonathan's hearing catches her. ]

[ But he saves accosting her for the lunch hour — as of yet the only person who knows he's a vampire, there is an oddly freeing sense being around Nina. ]

Hello Miss Zenik!

Having fun?

I do miss tea. ( and alcohol, proper alcohol. )

Do you have a favorite legend? ( better this than offering relationship advice and he's reasonably sure he can guess at her favorite food. )

Worst enemy so far.

just because the aliens aren't hostile right now doesn't mean they won't wind up that way.

frankly, same with the adamant's survivors. and the hatchlings. human diplomacy has a habit of going sideways real fast in a crisis.


Though I've talked to some of the survivors who've mentioned things a lot scarier than the tunnel moles or whatever we decided to call them.

Enough I'm wary. Then again, you never know if they're pulling the new guy's leg or not, but someone said something about these weird-ass scorpion things that are a hundred and fifty feet tall and like to just eat people whole after paralyzing them with some sort of toxin, so, you know. Trust but verify.

honestly, he's seen a lot of shit but he's not sure he's ready for that.
