[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]

...wait, wait, wait. What function does it have in your world?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Prob about the same you got. Just... kills us too.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

How fast?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Depends. Being born dead count?

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Possibly. Are you a zombie?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

No.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Then explain how you could possibly be born dead.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

[Jesu what did they used to call it. She racks her brain and eventually comes up with-]

Still...born? Or, born without certain organs. Born with heart stopped, that sorta slack. Never said I was, said we were.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Ah. [Okay, that made more sense, but.] Aren't you included in the I?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

I wasn't dead. Still breathing, aren't I? People in the warrens.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Sounds disgusting to be living among such people.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Disgusting.

Huh. Where're you from?

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Earth. England, specifically. Heard of it?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Know Earth. Don't know England.... [Hm. Thinking...]

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

How can you know of one but not the other?

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Could be I'm from Earth?

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

But England's on Earth!

[voice]

[makeitquick]

Yeah? So's Noram, Sotham, Westam. Haddyn. Versi. Bet you never aud'd a single one of 'em.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

And now you're just speaking nonsense. I don't think you're from Earth at all.

[voice]

[makeitquick]

And I know I am. Two cen removed.
