Morph #3: The Struggle. [Action/Video]

[xenamorph]

[As weird as it was staying in Spock's guest bedroom, they were polite enough. Still, she really didn't spend much time there.

At first, she'd spent a lot of time just flying around, but it didn't really ease the tension. Something was missing. She was having trouble sleeping. She had so many nightmares, she lost track of which ones were which, and she'd wake up in the middle of the night, screaming into her pillow.

And then she'd fly again.

It wasn't enough.

Something is missing.]

"So, um. Can anybody show me how to program that... battledome thing? And what else do you people do to entertain yourself around here."

[She stops for a moment, staring blankly at the camera as visions of violence and blood fill her head, before she blinks and snaps out of it.]

"Uh. So, if anybody could help me out on either end, I'd appreciate it."

[Action]

[She's going to be at the battledome today, trying to figure out how to make it work. She needs to...

Something. She's looking for something. She's not sure what.]

"... sorry. I've just... never actually met a god before. Is there something I'm supposed to, um, do?"

No? Well then, the proper procedure is to pick your jaw off the floor and stop looking like a tanuki that's just met an oni.

Then perhaps smile. I don't demand formality from humans here. There's little point in that in Luceti.

"Right. Uh. Right. Sorry."

[She shakes her head and steels herself. Come on, she's Rachel. She's Xena, Warrior Princess. She's faced down aliens, monsters, armies, and her own death. She can deal with a deity.

... It's just such an unexpected idea. Somehow, in the face of everything else, she never expected to see real magic or a real goddess.]

"So I just call you Saori, then?"

[windandrain]

That is my name, so yes, you can. If you want to be formal, Saori-san or Kimura-sama would be acceptable. But just Saori is fine.
