[Cass is kind of nervous about this, fidgiting on her place on her bed and chewing on her thumbnail as she tries to figure out something to say. If there's someone from home who can hear her, she wants to talk to them. But... they're all dead, aren't they? Or if they're not dead, they're here with her. Or recently dead but returned to life which is good.]

Um. Hello? It's Cassandra.

[What if she gets Cain? Or Shiva? This was a mistake, it's just inviting more bad things to happen on the barge.]

Never mind.

[And the feed shuts off there.]

Up?

[She stands up, balancing on her bed and looking kind of perplexed about why this is helpful.]

Better?

[ Alanna gives her an odd look. She must not speak the language very well. ]

You must have sent this message for a reason. Get on with it.

[hellofist]

People can hear us, who usually... can't. So... wanted to see who.

Who are you?

[shorterinperson]

I am the Lady Alanna, of Pirate's Swoop and Olau.

You mean to tell me, girl, that this message came entirely by chance?

[hellofist]

Is there... something shorter?

[Cause damn Alanna that's a mouthful even for someone who can talk normally.]

Yes. Is that bad?

[shorterinperson]

Call me Alanna. [ It's just a title, gosh.

She frowns. ]

It might be. I'm not meant to be so easily intruded upon.

[hellofist]

Alanna. Pretty name.

Why? [She does have the feel of someone that's important, but Cass can't figure out what she is.]

[shorterinperson]

Because this campfire is protected by the strongest magic I could muster. [ And that's not bragging, that's just truth. It's not often she finds someone who can get through her shields, and when they do it's never by accident.

Also yes, she is talking through a campfire. ]

Do you do this often, then?

[hellofist]

[Yeah, that's definitely what Cass is focusing on.]

Talking... to fire?

Don't know. First time, for me.

[shorterinperson]

Scrying. [ Why don't you know that? ] It's easiest in fire.

You're not making any sense.

[hellofist]

Yeah, you too.

[Seriously who talks to fires?]

Hearing me, because of accident. I didn't cause it. It's just... how it works.

[She has no idea why, just that it is.]

[shorterinperson]

How what works?

[hellofist]

The- talking to you.

[shorterinperson]

That doesn't make even the slightest blasted bit of sense.

[hellofist]

Nope. You learn... to go with it.

[shorterinperson]

Goddess bless but I've had enough of such nonsense. Are you involved with the Immortals, then?
