[ Kanaya is sitting at her desk, with Ashiah laying down on it in front of her. The little grub keeps glancing around in various directions, while her mother's gaze and smile is fixed on the camera. ]
I've been thinking recently about the cross-section of the imPort community who aren't human, perhaps most particularly since the ambassador elections last month. There are a sizable amount of us, not a large group, but significant. I've spoken with many of you on individual terms, and while the resources Governor Kang and SELF have provided to those of us with more unique needs have been invaluable, I feel there is still something missing in our collective socialization. We live the imPort experience in a way that many others won't fully appreciate, and I think we could benefit from sharing those experiences with each other.
[ At this point, Ashiah tries to wander off camera, but Kanaya suppresses a giggle as she puts a hand on top of her and scoots her back into place. ]
I'm unsure exactly what form that would take, but putting us all in a room to share our stories would be at least a start. If anyone is interested, please let me know, and I'll see about renting some space. Of course, if you have any special dietary needs, in terms of snacks, I would like to hear those as well.
This is generally something I'd prefer to save until we're in person, but... [ She's interrupted as Ashiah turns around and nuzzles into her chest, then tries to climb up her shoulder. Kanaya stops and laughs to herself, then plucks her off and cradles her, despite all her fidgeting. ] Anyway, for those of you who I haven't had the pleasure with yet, my name is Kanaya Maryam, and this is my daughter, Ashiah. I'm an Alternian troll, specifically an awakened jadeblood, which basically means I'm a vampire. She's a Daughter Grub from the same planet. [ She raises a finger, shaking her head. ] And before you ask, no, she isn't a troll, and she won't grow up to be one, either. Once she finally pupates, she'll become a Mother Grub. They acted as gestational surrogates for trolls, while the jadeblooded caste were their caretakers and midwives. It's all a bit complicated, this is just a general summary.
So, hopefully we'll be able to put something together moving forward, and I'll be able to hear all of your stories, as well. I'll be looking forward to hearing from each of you.

And all the squinting! You never look directly into it, that's a good way to go blind.

Just how hot is it in your country? Er, world.

It was billions of years older than this one, and much larger. At its peak, I would say it could reach about ten times hotter than Earth, but our methods of measurement aren't quite compatible, so that's mostly a guess.

[ Says the man from the world where technology is more or less at the level of "dirigibles are the new hotness". ]
Do all suns do that as they, er, mature?

We'll be fine, in that case. Nothing happening too soon.

[ Not that she hasn't already seen at least two Earths destroyed in her lifetime or anything. ]

Hypothetically. Probably, I mean. More likely to.
[ He asks, trying not to sound 100% invested in death from cruel depths of unknown space. ]

Or, if it does, a massive, impossible death goddess who will rend the world in pieces before devouring it. It may be trickier to survive that a second time.
video;
But.
A second time? You mean that's already happened?

I regret asking.
