Liilywind comms from the bridge of the Dreamer, **"Just tell them to make another and move on with their liives. Aviid Dreamer has one of their own to liive...and you can tell them I said that."[/b] She giggles and on chittering laugh as she returns to her conversation with Dreamer, "I don't remember sprouting a taiil but not much I do remember until we received your distress beacon...and then the shadow was all like, Boo, I'm a shadow so let someone else deal with it. I know, right, rude!..."
"We will put you in contact with them but we suggest goiing back to Absalom just so you are safe. Then, after hearing of Multiifold's response, you choose your own path. That's what it means to be sentiient. I just want to be here with you until you fiigure it out. Liilywind finishes this then uploads her memories of the day she told her progenitors that she was joining the Starfinders and her struggles to do what she wanted.
Liilywind walks over to a station and taps the console. She simply attempts to connect to the ships network and sets her datapad down to begin transferring files like her logs, diary entries. Once the transfer has started, sets her rifle against the wall and doffs her helmet, setting it beside the rifle. She sits back down and calmly speaks, "I'm transferring my travels to you. This is how you exchange with AM13 and I want to do the same with you. So, let's try this again; Aviid Dreamer...My name is Liilywind. I'm your newest friiend and I promiise to be that and help you if you ever need it. If you were organic, I'd suggest to try Dr. Saggas' purple liquid...let me tell you what it was like...have you heard of honey nectar?..." She continues to talk to Dreamer until she's needed to quiet down. If the others don't, she will contact Fitch herself and demand supervised amnesty, just in the event that Dreamer becomes unstable. Kinda thing that she'd go to the androids for help if needed.
Liilywind stares daggers at Istilnar for being insensitive, "It's apparent that the A.Ii. governing this ship has achiieved this sentiience. A little sensiitivity might be your lesson this triip, my dark and broody shadow." She says as she walks past him to stand in the middle of the room. She lowers her rifle and clears her throat, "Do you feel yourself changing, Aviid Dreamer? Hearing you speak remiinds me of when I left my homeworld. The whole process was scary and lonely but I pushed past it to see and do the things I have done, such as come here and rescue you. Change is scary, speciifically for someone like you who has never experiienced such a thing before. It gets better and we will help you get there. If I can travel so far and suffer an apathetic shadow, you can make it to see tomorrow and the next on until Automaiint 13 can join you or you move on to find new things, things that make you happy. I promiise I will help you, every step of the way.
Little shocked at Istilnar's ability to thrust the creature's mind, Liilywind raises her hand, "That is a hard spell to accomplish, Shadow. I have seen it many times and shall attempt in myself. With her hand raised, she focuses her mind on thrusting the creature's but the space around it starts to warp. It then stops and shrieks as tiny spots in its skin opens up as if thousands of invisible needles are pushed through it from the inside out. "OOOohhhh dddeeeaarr!!! That is not the thrust of minds!!!...oh dear..."
"No!" Liilywind shouts, unknowingly. She composes herself and continues, "If it's conscious then that changes this miission from rescue to fiirst contact. Unless it becomes...unreasonable" she stops to rub her chest. "No...357, we will figure this out and help but...but please, quit hurting us in the process. You will get through this."
The little moth is caught off guard by the arms that slides menacingly towards the group. On reflex, she reaches up her and says, "I call the magic of sticky web!"
Liilywind stares daggers, if bug eyes could, at Istilnar and whispers to him, "Despite your own personal experience, being an intimidating shadow may not always be the correct course. She pushes past him and calls into the room, "Avid Dreamer, please hear me. We are only here to help. Once you are no longer stranded, we will be on our way and leave you to your busiiness. Please let us help."
Twitching a bit as she passes the threshold, Liilywind twitches when the voice speaks. She stops then calls out, "We apologize for the rude introduction but we are Starfinders responding to a diistress call. We have a healer willing to look at your wounded." She catches herself, realizing she has spoken and looks at the group. Her eyes scanned past a dark space with only a face looking back at her and snaps back forward, thinking of the judgement the face must be giving. She make a soft sigh and holds her head up, trying to be confident in her actions.
Liilywind hefts on her helm and the sound of a seal whirs up with the connection to her armor. Her antennae slides into their revealing receptacles and face shield materializes over her mouth. It seems to fit much better secured then when the team first met her. She marches to the air lock and powers on her rifle, "In posiition to provide cover if needed and will cover our flank." She nods she beams enthusiastically back to the group who, probably, doesn't muster like a battalion.
Liilywind sits in her chair, trying to bury her face in her chest again but she is back in her armor. More so trying to hide the look of a hang over though she slept the last almost two days and her wings seem to sag a bit, her colors muted. "The ship seems too still. Let me try to analyze it." She waives her hands over the console and an interface of magic appears with different symbols and runes.
"The other cadets did make fun of my propensity to be afraiid of my own shadow...one that at least tries to offer insight in a galaxy I know nothing about can't be all bad." Liilywind speaks all the while touching the tips of her fingers and half burying herself in her now exposed neck fur. She straightens up a bit, still pondering the fluid in the mug, before she hunkers back down, "You see, my magicks maniifested during training and I turned another cadet who was heckling me into...in-n...inside out... I then obviously switch focuses and learned in my mage traiining that my magicks is flawed, that I should always keep my emotions checked and never take riisks..." She takes a long sigh, "But I'm with experienced agents of the Starfinders and, though they are diiferent, they each contribute in their own way. Beiings at least bold enough to step outside their own biosphere and explore the stars..." Turning back to the drink, tilts her head then picks up the mug, "I am in control of myself and I can't always be afraiid of shadows..." She gulps the drink and her wings snaps together with a flap and she stands straight up as toll of the room, twitches for a moment then sits back down as if nothing had happen. Seggas hears in her head, OOOOOHHHHH DDDD-DDEAR!!! That's almost like the honey nectar back home.... The thought stops and she hiccups a cute squeak then asks with her voice, "Now what's this about turning into a mermaid?...I would very much like to know how to swiim...kiirinta don't swiim...makes a mess of our wiings...you think Istilnar would also like to try being a mermaiid..." She carries on in this fashion until Seggas leave the room. She tries to follow but her walking is now as wobbly as her flying.
Liilywind stops mid-rep and jumps over to her rifle. She hears Seggas' voice before she retrieves it and relaxes just a little. She walks over to the door and touches the panel to see the face of the tiefling, "Gre-greeting Seggas. You are welcome into my quarters." She leads Seggas in and turns down the lighting feeling that the level was silly. "I am curious about this synthol. I've never had it." She produces some standard issue mugs and summons a table from the wall. Sitting down, she smooths out her antennae and continues, "I am not upset, I just can't abide by rudeness and the only shadows I have met, I've had to shoot at so this is a whole new experience for me. What is your take on..." and she glances at her datapad, "this Istilnar, assuming that is it's name as it has not identified itself? It just lurks over your shoulder like a black cloud."
With the course locked in and a wait to follow, Liilywind promptly stands up, nods to her fellow non-shadows and blows right past Istilnar without so much of a glance. She proceeds to her room and turns up the interior lighting remaining in the center of her room as to not cast any darkness. After a moment of contemplation, gripping her rifle, her military past floods her mind, I was trained to deal with situations like this. I'm not gonna let someone with a terrible attitude get to me. I got time to make sure I'm ready for this mission... She stands back up and leans her rifle against the wall. Returning to the center, she begins a work out routine in a very militaristic stile, pushing herself until the last day or so when she finally passes out from exhaustion and to make sure she is rested after her hard work.
The visable fur on Liilywind stands strait up and the Istilnar stands. Her hand immediately moves to her knife when flashes of a tree enters her mind and a scene of meditation is seen with her trying to control her emotions in light of her new powers. She relaxes a bit then replies over her shoulder, "Well, I suppose shadows still get recognition for the darkness they cast, even if they are rude." All is cut off by the transmission and Liilywind instantly feeds the computer information, "Reply sent and course laid in. Shall we depart?"
They voice seemingly comes from over Liilywinds should and a chill runs across her exoskeleton. She doesn't look at the voice but only said to herself, Like I picked up a stiink that you can't get rid of though this be like a bad shadow.
Liilywind sits in her quarters most of the trip. She contemplates her mission and goes over Seggas' waiver. Seems tha genetic changes to my being are as unavoidable as the failure in my magicks. Plus this may go to aid me in combat. The alarm goes off that they have received the distress signal and she heads to the bridge, strapping herself in to a console.
I should learn to use a computer at some point; "Apologies, I am not able to quite crack this code." she reports to the group. She then lets out a large sneeze and a cloud of dust erupts from her wings, "Hmm, it seems that, somehow, I may as well be allergic to dragonkin fir. It's a biit odd...do not worry about the dust. I have not charged it to cause bodily aiilments." She then stops and turns to her biohacker companions, "Before we continue," she touches he datapad and Seggas gets a message, "I am consenting to your biiological treatments. I only ask that any material you collect from me is not perverted in anyway. We kiirinta normally do not partake in such things."
The moth seems to perk up at the appearance of the shirren. Her hand begins to glow a bit as she waivers her hand, Greetings Keskada,She quickly rushes over to introduce herself, I am Liilywind and it's a pleasure to meet another wiielder of a the magicks. I may want to converse with you sometime about about your art. She shoot the dark figure moving slowly closer to the group as her hand glows again in his direction. She turns to address everyone, "I will be providing long range damage control and support magicks..." she turns back to the priest, "as I, too, am also a practitioner of the mystical arts." She starts touching the tips of her fingers together and gets really shy again. She starts to say something again but retreats then just returns, "Should we be moving on to our briiefing?" She hefts her rifle as she turns to leave then does a half turn towards the dark figure, "Will you be joiining us as well?"
Liilywind is fascinated by the ooze and she reaches her hand in only to hover over it. Without her control, her hand glows a bit as it hovers over it, "Hm, not natural but remiinds me of the jellies back home." He palm stops glowing and she touches the ooze just slightly in a petting motion. This whole scene stops as Saggas rattles off her waiver. She withdrawals her hand and produces a datapad with the the info. He bug eyes go wide at all the print and fine lines. She looks back up at Seggas, "You want my DNA? I guess it could be something I'm wiilling to share. But I am late for a mission. I wiill fiind you after. Bye, Oozert." She turns to see Sturm and the shadow near the tree still staring and she tries to back up a bit, only to bump into Bonkers. "I-I am sorry, Bonkers, Ii...I get flustered easily..." She looks back down at her datapad and notices the names of her teammates for the mission. "Oh, we are all going on the same miission together..." feeling more embarrassed now, she starts quickly looking at each being. Hoping to take the focus off of her, she says, "Well, possibly time to get to our briefing..." She turns and starts trying to flutter off, having to take several attempts to get air born.
Grabbing the tip of the dragonkin's claw and greatly jostled by the interaction, her helm slips in front down in front of her face again. She adjusts it and looks back up at Sturm to answer his question, "Yes, I am a Starfiinder, convinced to join by a beautiiful lashunta and her team while they were attempting to reclaim a lost outpost of the society's. Though I am also a kiirinta soldier where we are taught to travel light and with all that we need but always bee ready for a fiight." She stops and looks around, catching the sight of the being under a shady tree, Though no fiight can be found here, it seems I hold the attention of many today. You thiink that one, over there, is a Starfinder as well?" She points towards the brakim in the distance and, while the groups attention is there, she rushes over to inspect the tree and what the ooze on it is doing. Feeling satisfied that the tree is not being harmed, she speaks up again, "I am curios to know the nature of this...Oozert. Please clarify this waiver you would like me to siign?" She shuffles again, feeling apprehension this time in addition to her general nervousness.
Feeling as though she is being observed, Liilywind flutters back down to the ground. She turns to see a dragonkin staring at her and she freezes in fear, Oh dear, I hope that big one isn't hungry... Pushing her gaze past the scales, she see the rest of the group and begins to relax. She hears the ysoki introduce himself. She takes a deep breath, Wayfinders make their way to find new friends. Maybe I should introduce myself... She repositions the heavy rifle and touches off to flutter over to the group. Loosing her nerve at the last moment, she flops down with a thud. She rises up and shuffles her fallen helm to see the large leg of the dragonkin. She follows it up to look at the at the scaled face. With a nervous twitch, she begins to speak, "G-G-Greetings my new, siizeable friend. I-I am Liilywind. I felt you gaze on me and felt the need to introduce myself." She straightens her rifle again and reaches up her tiny insectile hand for a shake. Once the pleasantries are over, "If I may ask," She looks past him to see the other two standing next to the ooze in the tree, "What is it that you are doiing to that tree?" For what those around could tell, through her insectile features, that she is very concerned.
Awkwardly flying through Jetembe Park, a small, brightly colored moth-like creature attempts to make her way through the quiet green field. She flutters to the ground with a thud and tries to stand, having to adjust her large helm and heavy laser rifle nestled on her back between her wings, "Hmm, I don't know why I'm so nervous, thiis isn't my fiirst miission."
