--this button, and then it should start broadcasting? [ The next sentences fade in and out as G'raha flips his tell phone back and forth to look it over. ] Did it work? I can't tell, but I did follow the instructions to the letter, so I must presume it's working and proceed accordingly.

Ahem!

Hello! I am G'raha Tia, and I am but recently arrived to this world. I am given to understand that this device will put me in contact with others in the same situation. I understand that not much is asked of us, but given that we are all in this together, I would very much like to get to know you all. If you would rather meet face-to-face, you can currently find me near the apartments we have been so kindly provided. It should prove quite easy to spot me, as my feline features seem to be vanishingly rare among the populace here.

And now, let's see, it should be this button that--

[ Sure enough, G'raha can be found near the apartments, sitting under a tree and dutifully reading the user manual for the tell phone. ]

[ So she can... see through the eyes of other creatures? That's... not wholly dissimilar from the Echo, he supposes. ]

Who is "all of us" in this case, if I may ask?

[hellofishies]

The other FreakAngels! [ Yes, that probably helps a lot...] Twelve of us. All born on the same day with the same eyes and hair and everything. People thought it was really strange.

[allagain]

That is quite an unusual phenomenon.

[ Twelve births on the same day in the same community already sounds a little wild to his fantasy-universe ears, tbh. Miqo'te might be cat people but it's not like they have litters. ]

Though not nearly so notable as this remote viewing ability of yours. Have you always been capable of it?

[hellofishies]

For a really long time. We were all born with telepathy but we learned more as time went on. Then I learned that we could teach ourselves more and so I started trying to learn. I was the best one for it

[allagain]

That is an incredible talent you and yours have.

[ He can't say he likes the name "FreakAngels," but if Arkady's fine enough with it to use it, he's not going to quibble with her. ]

But you said you couldn't see beyond here? Beyond what?

[hellofishies]

Beyond the edges. There's mist around and then...[ she sounds a bit frustrated. ] and then I don't know. It's like that back home but that was us. I don't know what happened here. Maybe there's nothing else or maybe something is blocking me.

[allagain]

'Tis something that merits further investigation for certain. Have you compared what you've seen with a map of the area?

[hellofishies]

No. Should I?
