[Voice / Action]

[You know she almost, almost signed on for that one mission. A guard, surviving, she knew she could handle it. But then when she saw that "desert" thing. she has no idea what a desert is, so today she is at the library researching that, mostly because she really doesn't have much better to do today. She is clearly in a better mood though- all her earrings are in place (one of them she even thinks might be gold) and she she has a shiny nose stud in place. But... as she learns more and looks into these things more-

..Jesu.

She's gotten over being afraid of the sun (somewhat) in Luceti, mostly because of how dreary winter is, but that desert that... she flips open her journal]

Hey, Luceti. Talk to me 'bout the sun. Some of you got tales for it, right? Gotta.

[Feel free to answer her or see her in the library]

Getting everyone from Amaterus [Okay so "Amaterasu" isn't sinking in] To Helios to chariots of fire.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

'Cus... [...] 'Cus sun means something diff, here. Diff than home, for a lotta people.

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

And then fire up a rocketship.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Hey, they didn't always have space travel! I bet the ancient Egyptians didn't have rockets at all!

[redheadlion]

Well, the sun is sort of called the Circle of Life, but we call a couple of things that.

But... when I was young, my father once told me that all of the stars in the sky... the great kings of the past are up there, looking down on us from the stars. "They'll always be there to guide you".

[Timelines. sob.]

Time, details getting lost or confused. The power writing can have when it's all you have to look back on. But if I remember correctly, Helios is the one generally associated with riding his chariot across the sky.

[mythmaker]

You're right; every country where I come from has different legends about the sun. Hmm...but if someone's already explained Amaterasu to you, I'm not sure what else I can add. I'm sorry.

[alloys]

Safe to people who would otherwise turn to dust if it hit them?

[rabuends]

[She can't help feeling that's a lie, but she won't push it.]

And without much reason. He didn't like the way she prepared food for him. But, Gods are known to be very confusing to humans and alike.

[herotypical]

...What about you?

voice;

[allbloodyhail]

And you're a slayer, I take it.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

...S'fine.

So that's all the sun is for you? Legends?

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Hokum, but that's fair. Hadta look up "New York" after all.

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

What's an Egyptian ?

[makeitquick]

...Ever work for you?

voice;

[makeitquick]

No. [But that's a good thing] Safe to people-people.

voice;

[makeitquick]

Hah. Sounds like the Uppers to me.

[thelittlemacthatcould]

What's 'cen'? ...Is that centuries, or somethin'? An' who's... oh, wait, nevermind.

voice;

[makeitquick]

-Summers told you?

[Ignore that... Buffy told her about spike too...]

[makeitquick]

I... [...] I dunno.

[No. she's glad. But she feels bad for it]

voice;

[allbloodyhail]

We'll go with that.

voice;

[alloys]

Well, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for the Malnosso to let us go getting skin cancer, would it? Strange they let us get sick at all.

[redheadlion]

...Yeah. Once.

voice;

[rabuends]

Well, there wouldn't be stories about suns or moons if they were simply ordinary, right?

[She says with a wistful smile.]

[makeitquick]

[ . . . ]

I'm from the year 2232. Summers- Buffy Summers. ["Puffy" It still sounds like to her, jeez] Is from back in the 21st.
