thirteen : to another galaxy [video]

[Hayley swivels back and forth in her chair a couple times before she stops, leaning forward to talk to the console.]

Hey. So like, normally this is a message I would send privately, but we don't exactly have all those encryptions right now, so.. ignore this if it has nothing to do with you.

Who here knows a lot about where powers come from? I told this guy I'd ask some friends, but I haven't really seen them- you?.. around and I don't want to keep him waiting, you know? People fishing for information need not apply.

[A beat and Hayley glances over her shoulder to the direction of Mark's room. It feels weird talking about this, knowing he's next door.]

Also, does anyone have aluminum foil, potassium bromide, and bleach? I need some.. for a project.

What kind of project?

[A beat. It's probably not aimed at her at all (the whole 'friends' bit would imply that), but it's a question she can answer in some capacity anyway. So she does.] If it's relevant - if a demigod has powers, it comes from their godly parent.

[Hayley can't help but be a little defensive.] Do you have any?

I know, Percy told me. [A beat, then she tries to be nicer.] In this case, unfortunately not relevant. I guess they just kind of happened one day and I don't think their parent is a god.

No. But I could probably find some of it. [So many resources in Keeliai, ok.]

[She doesn't react outwardly to it. Especially once she recognizes the second attempt.] Powers don't usually develop at random. Something out of the ordinary must have triggered it. [And she thinks she knows what this might be about, but she'll hold back on prying.]

..It's for processing photos.

They said something about a dream?

I know some kedan. Who can probably help you, I mean.

[A small sigh.] Sounds like Asti decided to make the rounds again.

..Thanks, I think. How much do you want? [Because clearly this service comes with a fee.]

Asti like.. the turtle Asti? Is giving away powers in dreams?

What? No, don't be ridiculous. It's not like they're a secret.

[Nod.] Turtle Asti. I mean, I've never really heard of him giving powers away before, but it seems like he's gone around to a few people.
