[After she took her son to tour the Unity Group base, Sarah...vanished. For a solid week, she didn't show up at all. Recently she's been around, but hasn't talked to people too much...she never was really a huge buddy-buddy team member, though, so that sort of thing isn't odd.

It is odd when, out of the blue, she'll walk up to you and engage conversation. Her right arm is bandaged up as well, for some reason.]

Hey, are you free? I...kinda want to hang out.

Comments

[63rd_shockwave]

Yeah, well...I had some bridges burned for me pretty hard. So I might as well get to know the people on the side I'm on.

[Sarah plops down next to Peola.]

So...you watch this stuff a lot?

[not_a_prize]

Well for what its worth, I get the feeling you're a good person.

[Peola offers Sarah a small grin.]

Back home we have a saying. Anyone who feels like the sun to you will always have a good heart. So if you want someone to talk to, I'll be around.

And yes I do whenever I'm off duty. We don't have this teevee thing back on Magnolys, and Wrestlefestival's a lot more entertaining than some of the fights that happen in public back there. There's a lot more personality too.

[63rd_shockwave]

Feels like the sun, huh...well, they probably didn't have me in mind when they came up with that, I cheat there.

...You know, I never really watched this sort of stuff before. Though it does all look kinda silly.

[not_a_prize]

I think its the way they're all into it that makes it great. Sure its a little silly, but it just really livens things up. Can't believe you've never watched it though. I mean you actually live on Earth.

[Peola ponders something though.]

What did you mean though? About cheating about feeling like the sun?

[63rd_shockwave]

Well, yeah, but not a lot of people watch this stuff, and my parents didn't really like it. After I was out on my own, I...didn't really want to watch people fighting so much...[She trails off, watching the fight.]

Oh, right, you're from space...anyways, uh, I've been a living fusion reactor since I was 13 or so.
[She puts a cigarette in her mouth, and the tip glows red before bursting into flame.]

Heart of a star, they kept saying. I'd feel like the sun whether I was nice or not. Well, to people who can sense that sort of thing.

[not_a_prize]

I know for sure my father would disapprove of it... he's done a lot of that for most of what I did.

[Peola pauses. When Sarah trails off she doesn't push there. Then the other thing comes up, actually making Peola's eyes bug out a little.]

W... wait... that-.... you're...

[She can tell Sarah's being absolutely serious here. The look of shock on her face is a sight to behold.]

[63rd_shockwave]

...What?

We fought together before, you know. And it's not like I'm the only human on this planet who manipulates qi.

[not_a_prize]

I know that you could use qi! I mean I thought how you used it felt different because you were human and all but...

Sweet merciful sunlight.

[Peola lets out a disbelieving laugh.]

Never tell anyone from my home about this. In fact make sure no one else does. Not unless you want people from the Church of the Sun to come by to see for themselves and try make you a patron saint.

[63rd_shockwave]

...wait, that's...

...You're kidding, right? I mean the sun isn't actually what you worship, right?

[not_a_prize]

I don't just say that I praise the sun just because it sounds good.

[63rd_shockwave]

Right...sorry. It's just...a pretty crazy long shot, is all.

...You don't have anyone on your planet who can raise the dead and feed 5,000 people with two fish, do you?

[not_a_prize]

It probably would...

[Peola actually looked a little incredulous at that and rolled her eyes.]

And that's just silly. I mean raising the dead is impossible and just two fish? Really?

[The alien princess actually snickered at that.]

I mean if it healing people who are only mostly dead back to full health though and five... or four if you really want to push it... that's a different story.
