[ Well, there's a video of an empty hotel room. A very nice hotel room, but it doesn't look like there's anyone in it. The lights are on, though? After about twenty seconds or so, a girl comes in from the hotel door wearing one of those really fancy white hotel robes you get from the spas. It doesn't take her more than a few steps into the hotel room to spot something on her laptop and she approaches it slowly, leaning in to investigate with a bemused smile gracing her lips. ]

What have we here?

So I've heard. Not sure how much of it I'm buying, but if it's real I'd say someone out there's got quite a fortune made off of it.

[starblaze]

No one's making money off of it as far as anyone knows.

[nudelikeme]

Someone's missing out then. The tech it would take to run this place would fetch a fortune if it's really reaching other worlds.

[starblaze]

It is reaching other worlds. See?

[she leans a bit to the side to show the barren checkerboard wasteland behind her.]

[nudelikeme]

[ She looks over it for a moment. It looks pretty impressive, really. Of course, there's all kinds of places that exist and she's seen plenty of them. ]

Ever seen a movie set?

[starblaze]

Do you need more proof?

[nudelikeme]

Have you got any?

[starblaze]

...

[EYEFLAME]

[nudelikeme]

Nice party trick. Not really proof you're from another world though.

[starblaze]

[shrug] Someone else will have better proof. I look too human.

[nudelikeme]

Right. Let's say you are from another world. [ She leans forward in the chair just slightly again. ] Would that make you an alien?

[starblaze]

No.

I'm not from another planet. Just another universe.

[nudelikeme]

Since you aren't on my planet doesn't that make you from another planet anyway?

[starblaze]

If you want to look at it that way, I guess.

Then that makes you an alien too.

[nudelikeme]

Guess I'd be an alien and proud then.

[starblaze]

... Um, alright. I'm Shooter.

[nudelikeme]

I'm Christie.

[starblaze]

... My blood is also blue. But that isn't proof I can exactly show...

[nudelikeme]

Blue blood huh? that a joke about royalty or are we thinking a little more literally?

[starblaze]

Literally.

[nudelikeme]

Guess not everything's got to have red blood. So what are you if you're not human?

[starblaze]

Just leave it at "not human". It's hard to explain.

[nudelikeme]

You don't have a species name? Like snakes or cats?

[starblaze]

Um, no. [well yes but it's one of those things she usually lies about]

We don't need one.
