siryms_echo[In the past couple of days, Anodrac has taken the time to finally reclaim her original clothing (consisting of a long purple dress with white trim and a beige cotton sash of sorts) and get herself moved into the Seventh Floor of Community Building 3. Of course, her new abode is bare outside of the basic furnishings, but that's not an issue to her.]
[What IS an issue, however, is the fact that there's a heat wave outside. And we all know that heat rises... so her humble home, Room 34, is unbearably hot to her. As a result, every possible entryway into her room is thrown open in an attempt to get a decent breeze.]
[In spite of her efforts, however, things don't seem to be quite as cool as Anodrac would like; so, those paying verrrryyyyyy close attention to their journals can hear some quiet, not-very-pleased murmuring coming from her feed.]
This heat is almost unbearable... Dear Sirym, what I wouldn't give to be on a mountaintop right about now...
[For those that live in Building 3, feel free to wonder why she's got her door wide open/stop on by/offer the poor woman some sort of relief. For anyone not in the area... well, you can still offer tips on how to keep cool.]

Date: 2011-06-09 10:44 pm (UTC)Well, I can feel heat, but I'm stuck inside right now.

Date: 2011-06-09 11:27 pm (UTC)[She doesn't know who else fought in the draft, but if the situation fits...]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-09 11:38 pm (UTC)[She doesn't like admitting the truth.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-09 11:51 pm (UTC)Ah. In that case, I do hope you'll get better soon.
[There's a little bit of silence before she speaks again.] And that whoever is in charge of where you're resting will warm things up around there.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-10 12:36 am (UTC)There should be someone coming in soon to help out with the heat.

What's your name?

Date: 2011-06-11 03:13 pm (UTC)Where are you from? [An entirely different question here in Luceti than it would be back home.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-11 05:44 pm (UTC)What about you?

Date: 2011-06-12 04:13 am (UTC)You... you want to know about Selles? [She hasn't had anyone ask her ANYTHING about her homeland, so she's eager to explain.] Ah... Is there anything in particular you want to ask about? Or shall I just start with whatever comes to mind first?
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 04:47 am (UTC)[Really. Her father never trained her out of the incessant 'whys' of five year old children. She is curious about everything and happy to learn.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 04:12 pm (UTC)[She laughs softly.]
I suppose I should start with the basics, then. As I've mentioned, my world is called Selles. Our days are 48 hours long, and our weeks are ten days. [There's a short pause.] Unfortunately, I haven't figured out exactly what that translates to in this world yet.
I should continue, before I get distracted... Our years are 440 days long, split into 8 months of 55 days.
[She'll wait until Ingrid's ready to hear more. She doesn't want information overload, after all.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-13 12:02 am (UTC)[She's totally writing this down.]
And your sleeping habits must be terribly mixed up here.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-13 12:26 am (UTC)[She laughs.] And, if my thinking is right, it also means that I am a lot older in this land than I am at home.

Date: 2011-06-13 01:14 am (UTC)i have no idea if that's even close XD but i did try out this whole math thing
Date: 2011-06-13 01:20 am (UTC)144?
I think I must have done my math wrong. And that's assuming the hours are the same.
At least you tried! :D But yeah, that's a little too high. XD
Date: 2011-06-13 02:09 am (UTC)[Ingrid can hear Anodrac murmuring calculations of some sort under her breath. After a moment of hushed whispering, she speaks up again.]
If I had to wager a guess, I'd say I am about 52 in... whatever measurement of time we use here in Luceti. Though I'd need some more concrete figures to be completely sure.
i blame hubby o/ he normally does the maths in this house XD
Date: 2011-06-13 03:44 am (UTC)Still, 52? And you're young for your people? How old do they generally live to be?
XD I'm the math person in my household (un)fortunately...
Date: 2011-06-13 04:27 am (UTC)[She's silent for a moment, trying to run more numbers through her head.] The average livespan of my people, on Selles, is usually about 90. In this world, that would equal... a little less than 163 years.
[She laughs amusedly.] I'm sure it must be awfully confusing.

Date: 2011-06-13 04:36 am (UTC)What else can you tell me about your world?

Date: 2011-06-13 05:00 pm (UTC)It was a long time ago, though.
What sort of flora and fauna are present on your world? Is it very different from the ones here?
no subject
Date: 2011-06-14 02:34 am (UTC)The most striking difference, I'd have to say, would be how... uniform the people in this world seem. On Selles, each of the bipedal races have at least one trait unique to them, but here... everyone seems to be the same, and the only differences are what skills they have.
It's a little jarring, really.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-14 03:19 pm (UTC)What are the races on your world like?
no subject
Date: 2011-06-15 05:28 am (UTC)Well... to describe all of them in detail would be quite the task. [She laughs.] But I could describe a few of them now.
Two of the most 'human-like' races on Selles are the Lunians and the Ecliptians. Their abilities, however, are as inhuman as one could expect.
[She pauses for a moment.] Ecliptians, for example, are capable of near-monumental feats because of how they're able to utilize their life-force.

Date: 2011-06-16 07:26 pm (UTC)Give me a moment. It would be better if I used visual cues for this.
[There's the clinking of plates and the shuffling of the journal, before the video feed comes on. Ingrid can see Anodrac -- or rather, her hands -- and a tall glass filled with fruit juice. There's also a second container, barely visible on the screen.]
This cup here-- [She taps the glass lightly with one finger] --represents an Ecliptian, all right? And the juice inside the cup is their life energy.
When an Ecliptian uses their ability, they give up some of their life energy in the process. [She tips the glass out, pouring a bit of juice into the other container.] The more energy they are willing to expend, the greater the result will be.
However, when they use the last of their energy... [She demonstrates this by pouring out the contents of the glass.] Then they will die, because there is nothing left to support their bodies.
[The video feed cuts off there, and the sound of most of her props being put away filters over. However, there is a soft sipping sound before she speaks again.]
I'm sure there is more to it than that, but I can only speak of what I know.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-17 04:31 am (UTC)What sort of things can they do with their life energy?
Oh my goodness, I apologize for being so late with this OTL
Date: 2011-07-07 11:22 pm (UTC)no worries!
Date: 2011-07-10 09:50 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 04:57 pm (UTC)...The aforementioned Ecliptian was unconscious for weeks after that, however.
