Hi, what can I help you with?

[She scoffs at that.]

Me telling them? Most of them probably wouldn't take me seriously anyway.

As far as they're concerned, they're older and wiser and they've seen more, so my opinion's pretty worthless. That's how it's always been, so my best bet is to hurry up and age. Hopefully, anyway.

[She shrugs.]

It goes both ways, though. You know that, right?

The whole 'understanding where the other is coming from'.

Up until this mission, we barely knew anything about the two of you. But you guys know a lot about us, don't you? I'm betting you know a creepy amount of information about my life, too.

Seems a little unbalanced.

[stationmaster]

Heyheyhey, we only know enough about you for the gig — there's nothing creepy about a cosmic CV, is there?

[ ... and he won't admit that he doesn't usually read through everything either. the man works off a vibe okay ]

But okay, in the interest of balance, what do you wanna know? With the caveat that I reserve the right to uh — decline answering if it gets a little too personal.

[shadysided]

... Is asking why you and Viveca were the only ones on the station operating it too big a personal jump?

Or should I start with something basic, like 'what's your favorite color'?

[stationmaster]

[ hit 'em hard why don'tcha ]

It's green. Green's my favourite colour.

[shadysided]

... That seems like something we should all probably know, just FYI.

The low count from the last crew, not the color thing.

Okay, related, then: how much do you two know about me?

[stationmaster]

Most of them went home.

[ because sure, she deserves some kind of answer for that ... even if it's pretty clear he doesn't really want to divulge beyond that. ]

We know the basics of your history, some of the big decisions you've made, the things you can or can't do, and why you're here. If you want me to get into specifics ...

[shadysided]

That's... not exactly the most detailed answer I was looking for.

[She imagines he was vague because it's an ugly topic. But.]

Did you see what happened to us? Me and my sister?

What... happened to all those kids?

[How they were all violently murdered by a witch curse?

Totally easy questions to address.]

[stationmaster]

Yeah. Yeah, I think it's in your file.

[ which isn't to say that degar's seen it. ]

[shadysided]

So you read about it. Where does the information come from? Viveca?

Can't you see things like she does?
