[ After playing around with the device for a bit, now that they finally have time to settle in after the vine madness, Fish has the thing mounted nicely at an angle high enough to give the network a nice view of their head to the top of their shoulders—much like a beauty blogger really. They’ve got an eye for beauty and they put it to use here. They have a bare face at the moment, but it’s still a pretty face with smooth purple skin that fades to lilac on their face, their throat, and the front of their chest. ]

I suppose if everyone is using this thing to ask questions, I might as well ask one of my own.

[ They take a small brush loaded with sea green pigment and draw it over each of their eyelids as a thick eyeliner with practiced, precise movements. ]

Cosmetics and clothing. Has anyone gone shopping recently? I’ve noticed this place is just far too different from the one I know. So I think I could use some guidance. Or some company. Company preferable.

[ They chuckle to the camera and shimmy their shoulders, like a practiced coquettish performer. They pop open a small glass jar of deep purple pigment and another brush. And they quickly fill in their lips with the same neatness as their eyes. ]

There is a lot I want to acquire if I’ll be staying here for a while. So, let me know if you’d like to go shopping.

Oh, by the way. In case we haven’t met... you can call me “Fish”.

[ They wink. ]

I wonder how people thought of the people of my world if they only existed in stories...

[Fish is genuinely pretty awestruck.]

But there still are legendary creatures in my world, like fey beings who only exist on an alternative plane and the celestials and the demonic... there are just so many.

[kayssistant]

Fey? [She repeats that word.] You mean like...fairies? But even if they only exist on an alternate plane...they still exist, right?

[freshtilapia]

Yes... like fairies. But yes, you are right. Though they do exist on an alternate plane, they do exist. Perhaps it's the same in your world? Perhaps in your world, people like me are hidden in a different plane of existence.

...

[A snap of her fingers.]

You might be on to something, Fish! That's really possible! Some people say they see someone or something different but it's always a mystery...

[freshtilapia]

[Fish winks.]

It certainly could be so. I mean, in my world, not everyone can channel the power of the fey. Only some blessed few could do so. And I'm proud of the fact that I'm one myself.

[kayssistant]

So even though the fey are all hidden, you could still use their power?

[Fascinating!]

[freshtilapia]

Exactly! I can demonstrate that for you one day. It's my specialty as a bard of Glamour.

[kayssistant]

Please, I look forward to it!
