*Her voice was distinctly female, but it sounded distorted and staticky, like it was being spoken through a walkie talkie. Its head didn't stop swiveling and the strips began flashing even faster.*

"The name is akiko and you are?"she asks [i]she opened her eyes and jumped ever so slightly as she sees it for the first time looming over her.[/i]

"Alice-142." *It says plainly, the pace of the flashing slowing.* "What species are you descended from?"

"Lesser fellpool from the planet roak"says akiko [i]she keeps looking at alice trying to figure out what she is.[/i]

*She is silent for about ten seconds before speaking.* "Catalogued." *She turns around and starts wandering around the courtyard, resuming the head tilting. She is making an audible clicking noise now.*
-
"Huh that was strange"she says [i]she was unsure by what she meant by that. She just watched it at this point.[/i]

*She wanders around, seemingly observing her environment.*

[i]as she does she comes across a very large mountain of a man standing at 10'9" high. He had fiery red hair and a bushy red beard to match with bright blue eyes. But he wasn't paying attention.[/i]
-
*She stops, tilting her head down then up as the light strips flash faster.* "What species are you descended from?"

"Hmm huh?"he says [i]he looks down at her realizing she was talking to her and he wasn't paying attention to what she said the first time.[/i] "Come again sorry i wasn't paying attention lass"he says

"Please define handshake."

"It's friendly gesture a greeting if you will. "He says
-
"Okay..." *She's silent after that, tilting her head a little every now and then.*
