Hey! Guys! Did you know there are demons here?

[hey look it's connor with the best/worst sarcastic message for you today. many posts lately have been about demons and justifiably so but connor is a shitposter and he's back so hang on or hang up on him. (that's the better option lets all be honest with ourselves)]

Since we're all smart people who definitely aren't going outside to get possessed or die on the network -- seriously, please, stop doing that -- I figured we should at least pick a game to pass the time. You know, like being on a long road trip and playing "I Spy" or some shit.

[he starts to say something else but apparently thinks better of it, because he smiles instead and reconsiders his words]

No, actually, first - a bunch of you guys are sleeping together, right? But who isn't? The lack of having an app to prove we're all cute, single, available people is clearly an oversight. (Really, pong before tindr? Also, calling it now: please, spelunkr, make it happen.) Discuss among yourselves.

[but oh right the game he seems to only remember now that's where he started, and he's maybe a little tipsy but wouldnt you be if THERE WERE DEMONS and people were doing dumb things like getting almost killed or worse on the network]

Oh, yeah, the game. Hot or Not. Post a picture of yourself and other people rate it for hotness. Honestly I'm not even going to care if you post a picture of someone not yourself. Have at it, kids.

Alright. Ask away.

What is the most important thing you want others to know about you? The kind of impression you want me to have of you?

Depends - here or back home?

[it's weird to think that it could be different answers. but then again, it wasn't just the cave that had changed that, was it? he was already starting to let his standards slip back home, too.]

Let's start with your home planet then.

[He's not in any hurry today, at least.]

Okay, the impression I'm going for back home -- on planet earth, btw -- is serious student who doesn't have to try very hard. [beat] Fake it 'til you make it, or whatever.

I've never heard of any planet or system by that name. You must be from another galaxy or from a part of the uncharted Unknown Regions, I assume.

Interesting. Your course of study must be competitive or demanding then if you feel the need to pass off such a facade.

Yeah, it's really competitive. Especially where I'm studying. It'll be worth it.

[god he hopes because the trauma annalise is putting them through honestly doesnt feel like it]

What are you studying?

I would hope it would be worth it, in the end.

Law. It'll pay well, if I get a good job.

[saving the world? whats that]

Is mere currency the extent of your ambition? That's rather...limiting.

Money, men, respect? That's good enough.

So you would settle for just any job which provided those things?

[He grew up with ambitions on a galactic scale, he's never thought about just settling.]

You said you were from just one planet, is that correct?

Yes on both counts. We haven't done any space-settlements. Or found like actual life outside our planet.

....None? Not even to any nearby moons?

I couldn't even begin to imagine being limited to just one star system, let alone one planet.

Earth has a moon but there's no life on it.

[connor shrugs]

It's weird for us to imagine there's life out there but it seems stupid to assume the only sentient beings are on Earth.

Incredible.

I've encountered countless other sentient lifeforms across the galaxy, in many forms. We take space travel for granted, I suppose, considering it's just so simple to go from one star system to the next without difficulty.

Meanwhile that all sounds pretty crazy to me.

I honestly have never actually met anyone from a planet with no awareness of life outside their local star system or sector.

What is your planet like then?

[he obviously tries to put thought into this reply. so much for not being serious.]

Big continents surrounded by water. Each one tends to have a few varied ecosystems. Humans live mostly in cities though there are farming communities, too.

Interesting.

It's fortunate your world isn't volcanic or plagued by constant storms, at least.

Some of the island are volcanic and there are some storms but nothing constant.

What about the planet you're from? What's it like?

It's a planet with almost constant storms, jungle, and large sea monsters who liked to eat anything or anyone who ventured too close to the shore.

I was only there a brief time, however. I've lived most of my life on various star destroyers.

[wait hold on]

Star destroyers? Do people live on those stars?

Star destroyers are larger star ships. They don't actually destroy stars, someone just had a strange sense of humor when they named them.

[he considers this for a moment and decides to accept it.]

Must've been weird travelling all the time.
