[ Kanaya turns on the camera, glancing at a distant point to the side, wearing a great scowl. ]
Have you ever had those days when you've had to empty out your savings to relocate friends whose lives are in active danger?
Well, happy birthday to me.
[ She finally looks at the camera directly, as Ashiah can be seen bumbling across the wall behind her. ] I think it's time to admit I need a new weapon. The Porter recently took the one I've relied upon for years, and this [ She brings her hand up, holding a large knife. ] has proven a feeble replacement. I'd prefer something with more weight and reach, something that can actually deal damage. Motorized, if possible.
So, I'm open to suggestions. If you craft any yourself, sell me on your product. I'm willing to learn something new, but no firearms. They don't agree with my style.

[ Miles is grinning more the longer this conversation goes on, though. God, he would love to have clothes that fit, and clothing he can fight in... ]
Let's try it, then. My father can work up a sketch you can work off of.
no subject
I can easily work from a sketch, as long as you won't mind however many questions I might have as the project proceeds.
no subject
[ Not to mention the timing issues involved. ]
I'd be more than happy to answer anything you like.
no subject
[ It's a phenomenon she's encountered once before, but it was years ago, when both mother and daughter were fairly close in age. She supposes that's how it generally happens, remembering when her girlfriend's mother was around. ]
I'll save any questions until I see the sketches. That will give me more of a basis to consider the logistics of.
no subject
Er. You seem a bit young but - my parents are in much the same situation.
... I'll get the sketches to you right away. And - er, for measurements, would you prefer to meet me in person or can I just send the data?
no subject
But I do prefer to take measurements personally, so I can either meet you at home, or invite you to my offices in Maurtia Falls. Whichever you would prefer.
no subject
[ But - did she just say - ]
You've been here for five years?
no subject
Four other people have been around longer than I have.
no subject
From the last one - you mean this isn't even the first dimension like this? How long has the person with the most experience been here?
no subject
[ She frowns. ] You haven't heard any reference to the City yet?
no subject
No, this is the first time. How does it differ from here?
no subject
The majority of imPorts resided in a single metropolis, which I'm told parallels to New York City in most worlds. The only difference is the "New York" portion never seemed to work its way into the name. [ It was a stupid name for a City, everyone agrees. ]
There weren't any hovercars or talking toasters, and I'd never seen a malt shop there, either. There wasn't any government regulation over imPort activities, our only oversight came from the Porter herself, who wasn't nearly as quiet as she is now. Of course, she was also very lax on the matter, except in her own defense.
[ Snooping or tinkering usually ended in a quick drop in the Atlantic. The Porter here's still been known to do that. ]
And so, of course, we got into a great deal more trouble. The people there didn't like us, and they had plenty reason not to. [ She says it pointedly, as if it's the most important lesson imPorts could have taken away from the experience. To her, that's exactly what it is. ] Eventually, it came to a point where a group was formed among the natives for the purpose of expelling us from the world.
They eventually got their wish, but only because the planet was destroyed. Possibly the universe as well, and they were almost definitely involved in bringing about that doom.
[ She spreads her hands with a look of resignation. ] And so, here we are. January 14th, 2014, Lachesis pulled the survivors from that dying Earth and brought us to this one instead.
no subject
You destroyed the universe? How? Could it happen here too, do you think?
no subject
But I can't help but wonder if someone hadn't called her down on us, especially when their agents were waiting for us within her.
[ Whatever "within her" means. ]
no subject
... When you say "within her" ...
