[She's still trying to determine whether this is wise, but the offer had been a saving grace for her. She wanted anything that could remove her from the mountains and the horrors of war. This may not be what her father intended for her with her life, but this life was her choice.

That at least would comfort at night.]

My name is Alice Munro and I am new to this ship. [Ship. That in itself would take time to grow used to. It wasn't like the ship that brought her to the colonies at all.]

Those that are wardens, if you would be so kind to offer me advice perhaps on those here assembled? I know why I am here, but I would like to be made aware of what I am in store for. I do not want to be caught unawares. Not again.

[She hesitates before addressing the inmates.]

Those that are imprisoned, if you also have any information about the ship itself, I should be grateful.

[It's a strange name, but not the first strange name she's encountered.]

Have you been here long?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Not as long as compared to some. At least, not long enough to graduate my inmate.

About four months or so.

You seem a little out of sorts. Is this your first time traveling in space?

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

I suppose it is not something that can be done easily or quickly.

Yes. This is the first I have been on my own as well.

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Not if you want it done right. Or if you brainwash your inmate, but I think the Admiral watches for that sort of thing.

That's exciting, isn't it? It's my first time out in space as well. You can see the stars much better from up here because the nargles aren't clouding the atmosphere.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Nargles? Is that a creature found where you are from?

[The idea of seeing the stars closer is comforting. It makes this place a little less frightening.] I haven't looked out at the stars yet. I only have seen my room.

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Yes, but it's likely they could be found where you come from, too. They're invisible, you know.

You should. It'll make you feel better, if you're feeling overwhelmed.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Invisible? What do they do?

[She is feeling overwhelmed and rattled. The advice is extremely good. Sometimes just standing and looking about was enough to give perspective.]

I think I will. Is there a particular spot that is best?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

they dive into your ears and make your brain go all fuzzy. I've spotted a few here, but we're worlds away from an infestation.

Mmno. No, most of the upper deck's the same. The garden's nice too.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

[She's not sure if what the woman is saying is true, but it's probably better not to discount anything.]

There is a garden here as well? This ship is very strange. It has so much on it, how can it sail?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Go see for yourself. She sails very well.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

I imagine that you enjoy exploring all the hidden places wherever you are?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

On the ship, or where I come from? Because where I come from has a good deal more hidden places than here.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Where did you come from? [She imagines there is an interesting story relating to this girl.]

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Hogwarts. It's in Scotland.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Is that a castle?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

A magic castle, yes. Excellent deduction.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Magic? [Some had said she would come across others who knew magic or had magic. But it was still a surprise to hear it.]

Is the castle magic or is your world magic?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Both, actually. And the castle's often filled with magic people.

Re: [Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Your world sounds like a fairy story. Witches and wizards. It's strange to think about.

Were there magical creatures too?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Fairies, for certain. And lots of other things, of course, but generally you don't get to see them around if you're a Muggle.

Re: [Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

What is a Muggle, exactly?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

A non-magic person, generally speaking.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

Oh. I see. Are they welcome in your world? Non magical beings?

[Video]

[whatthewrackspurt]

They've got their own world where they live. And ours doesn't usually cross over often with their's. If that's a good or a bad thing, I'm not sure.

[Video]

[moon_in_her_hair]

This world then is the merging of those two worlds. Magic and none magic beings. Has it been alright so far?
