[ Knock-knock -

- or something like the creak of city gates of her wanting to reach out to anyone else in the hive that will respond. ]

( These ability we have aside from communication. I require a trainer for my own.

And a decent explanation of what they are and their pitfalls. I am not familiar with this kind of... magic. )

[ Yeah she can't think of another word for it. ]

[ Lakshmi was upset with the idea of alien experiments, Annie recoils from the concept of marriage, of husbands. ]

( Who cares what he says? )

[shri]

[ ..... she does not get anyone in this place, what on earth is so strange about marriage? ]

( He is my husband...? We spent our lives together, since I was a girl, he knew me better than most to make such a judgement. )

[sistershoggoth]

( If you say so, Lakshmi. )

[shri]

( It's marriage not losing a limb. You must be the third person who seems to find it something so much worse. )

[sistershoggoth]

( I sure as shit ain't ever getting married, how about that? )

[shri]

[ This again. ]

( Why not? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Uh, because I'm such a bitch who the fuck would marry me? What kind of question is that? )

[shri]

( ... Only if you are looking for a love match, but those are hardly proper. I certainly didn't have one. )

[sistershoggoth]

( And I'm not important enough for a fucking political marriage. )

[shri]

( Politics? That's how all marriages are arranged in my home. No matter who you are. I happened to marry a king, but I was just as likely to marry a pauper through those means. )

[sistershoggoth]

( Back home, shit was arranged by how well you killed people. )

[shri]

( By merit then? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Entirely. Alien bitch was raising us as her super soldiers to take over the world, not points for weakness. )

[shri]

( Then they should be clamouring to marry you, given your, ah, exploits. )

[ She has her faults, but she does her best ever to encourage. ]

[sistershoggoth]

( No one knew about us. Secret alien bitch super school. )

[shri]

( Well, as everyone is fond of telling me, we are not in our homes anymore - is there some one you wished to marry? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Uh. No? That'd definitely get in the way of me sleazing my way through the galaxy's pants. )

[shri]

[ Time to be a ~modernist~.

Which is to say she hums a little in thought, unsure with the notion. But she had spent too long living in the brothel to have the notions of when she was younger. ]

( Well, if men can have mistresses, why can't you have the same? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Well shit. I dunno, you find me somebody who wants to get married while I sleep around with like. Everyone. And I will marry them. Good luck though. )

[shri]

( It only depends where you look. )
