crystal

( Behold, a new voice on the crystals. Soft, good-humoured, with an accent that sounds Scandinavian / relative equivalent. The crystal catches a quiet breath of laughter before she speaks. )

I don’t know if you’re really lucky to have an engineer turn up, or if I’m really unlucky that I need to figure out the machinery.

I mean, learning about the infrastructure of a city in a whole different world isn’t even a “once in a lifetime” kind of opportunity, and pretending I’m some sort of genius at kinetic motion just because I know some mechanisms from home would be pretty fun, but…

Wow.

( Maybe that sounds a little weightier than her first "wow.")

Oh, I'm Abella. Riftwatch, you’re gonna have to have a lot more ramps by the time I’m done with you. Somewhere has to accommodate wheelchair users, even if it’s some kind of fairy tale world.

( Hmmm. )

Wait, can you just make them float, here? (More softly, ) Flying wheelchairs would explain the lack of ramps. I mean, this crystal thing is remarkable, so... let me know if I don't need to think about the ramps.

( A variety of things. It's not a stretch to think surveillance would be the home of subterfuge and spywork. She wonders if that might be something-else she and Astrid have in common.

Well, to be fair, Astrid did say outright that she was information gathering alongside "regular scouting."

Abella hums thoughtfully. ) Have you had to infiltrate enemy lines?

( Fidgety. If it’s possible to sound fidgety over the crystal. )

Not… yet, although I expect it’s only a matter of time. Why?

[undergrunn]

Oh.

( She hadn't... prepared a response for this. )

Just curious, really. Subterfuge, spy things. They sound so exciting.

( nailed it )

[brennvin]

( Brightly: ) That mean you’re going to join me over in Scouting?

You do sound like one of the Research nerds though.

[undergrunn]

Nerds? Really?

( She huffs out a laugh. )

For now I'm in Forces. It seemed like the most relevant division for building, and the like. I wasn't able to join the military at home, so it felt... like making up for it, I suppose, even though we're all fighting the war regardless of division.
