[Yue has been here for a little while now. This place isn't the Spirit World - in fact, it's not a part of her own world at all - and while she may be dead back home, this is another chance at life for her. And then she almost lost that chance when she nearly got executed on stage. Since then, Yue has been spending most of her time in her suite, except for when she has to leave to go work, or anything else like that.

It's something she struggles with, but if she's here, then she may as well... try to enjoy herself. Especially since she doesn't even know how long she'll be here. And besides! She's in the Water Sector, and the Water Sector is safe. So, if she does something that doesn't involve her leaving the Water Sector, then everything should be okay. ... Hopefully.

And that's why Yue decides to make a quick request over the network today.]

Does anyone here know how to swim? [Wait, no...] I mean, would anyone that knows how to swim be willing to show me?

There's water everywhere where I'm from, but it has always been too cold to try swimming properly. So... I never actually learned how to do it.

I only have a little bit to pay people in exchange, but I would be very grateful either way! [Yeah, she knows that probably won't be enough. But hey, might as well put it out there.]

... Or not?

[THIS IS A WEIRD CONVERSATION...]

Well, um. [THIS CONVERSATION IS STARTING IT GET CONFUSING.]

It's nice to meet you! [Sure that's a start.]

Uh huh.

Yeah. Uh. You too, I guess. I'm Brandon.

I'm Yue. [Leaving out the princess part, because the title doesn't really mean much here.

... Yeah, this is. Awkward. But Yue would feel bad not saying anything else.]

Have you been here very long?

Like a week or whatever.

I've been here for almost a month now.

That's. Kind of a while. No way home yet?

No, not as far as I know. [And it wouldn't have been so bad except for the whole nearly being killed thing. Kind of ruins things, but there you have it.]

So is 'home' a place you want to be? I mean. It's not like this isn't a sweet deal and all that.

[He just can't hit on her, okay.]

I died before I was brought here. [Her voice isn't quite detached, but it's something like it. She's starting to get used to explaining her situation to people.]

[oh god he's talking to a zombie.

Not that it's unusual in the superhero industry. Jean Grey what now?]

... Okay, not the weirdest thing I've ever heard, if you can believe it.

[excuse you, brandon, she's the (future) moon spirit, not a zombie. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

But okay that has her curious.]

What is the strangest thing you've heard, then?

Babe, we'd be here all week.

Actually, I'm sixteen. [Hi, Brandon. Someone's never heard anyone in her tribe use that kind of slang before.]

... Con... gratulations...?

[where did that come from he doesn't even...]

You called me 'babe'. I'm sixteen. [Y U P.]

[... Brandon just burst out laughing.]

What? No-- no, no no. It's-- It means you're hot, okay?

... I'm guessing you don't mean I'm warm when you say 'hot', right? [MORE SLANG THAT SHE ISN'T USED TO HEARING.]

Oh my god.

[He says that under his breath.]

Okay let's try that again. Hot/babe/etc? All that means where I'm from is that you're beautiful.

Oh! [Okay, feeling a little embarrassed for not getting it now.]

Thank you.
