[color=orange]"Have you [i]not[/i] seen anything interesting since [i]you[/i] arrived here?"[/color] Rave couldn't help but chuckle lightly as Akagalcia quickly snatched her hand back into her lap and gave an apologetic smile to another server whom she'd almost pushed into a table before turning her attention back to Rave. [color=orange]"This place... My world, before I was taken, was nothing like this. My tribe hunted animals and used ...psionics... it is all we knew, to live and travel and search and fight. There were cities, there was seekegatha-erhm... there were civilized places. But no one knew the ingredients for sunfire or how to trap air and float rocks into the deepsky. No one even thought of it. [i]Everything here is interesting[/i], Rave. This [i]world[/i] is different to me. And no one seems to know what I know, or know that they know what I know when they do know what I know."[/color] Admittedly, that last part took the Spectre a moment to process and make sense of before he could reply properly, and she'd once more referred to being awake, which by now, he interpreted to mean that they were extrasensorily aware of the world in ways that others weren't. Still, it would seem she was very much not from here, anymore than he was, but the setting, the people, only bits and pieces were new, and this bar certainly wasn't one of them. [color=SteelBlue]"Only some of this is new to me, Akagalcia. I grew up in a place where we had interplanetary travel, plasma weaponry, though mainly for vehicles, powered armor. And all that was nothing against the Protoss, who are such powerful Psionics, I've seen them turn a Terran into a vegetable, person who only knows how to breathe and nothing else, with no effort. Their technology is centuries ahead of us."[/color] He shakes his head and takes another sip of his whiskey. [color=SteelBlue]"Still, there are advances in technology here that'll help back home, and that's amazing enough for me."[/color]
