[Her arrival was common: Waking in the strange pod, stepping into shallow water, acquiring printed pamphlets along with a holographic presentation... Fayet folds the papers into origami cranes, which rest in her palm for only a brief moment. Which a breath, they take off flying as if they were real birds. 

She hums in amusement at her own magical ability. For now, these first few hours, she'll take it easy. Fayet heads off down the streets of Genessia, with no shoes on her feet and her long lilac hair trailing behind her.]

Interesting... You there. [The young woman points, addressing a stranger with friendly authority in her voice,] How long have you been held captive in this "Genessia?"

Salutations. Genessia, correct? That's how I should greet the general public here? But then, how should I greet our supposed captors? Hm.

How about "thank you?" Thank you, Genessia. For creating an indestructible cage, with lives from so many other worlds-- No, other unvierses. Other omniverses, I'm sure! This is the most excellent place for me to begin. Yes, thank you for this cage and all of these people.

But I'd like to take over now. To all of you comfortable in Genessia: I'll be here now, keeping you content and satisfied. To those of you wishing to leave... Why? Why would you leave this entertaining experiment? Is there an effort in place to leave this place at all? Has any progress been made? Do let me know... I'd like to crush it as soon as possible, and stay with you all. Forever.

How closed minded... then again, you should be. I wouldn't expect for you to understand. That burden is mine to bear, and I will do so gladly. After all, I do love all things.

... But it is worrisome to hear such thoughts. How would you like to treat those on your list?

[notquitedracula]

Lady, I'm on that list. Just... bear in mind, not everyone here is who they appear to be.

[fatestrings]

My my... Perhaps you had best take your own advice to heart, dear. I find it even more saddening that you would list yourself in such a way... But I've no doubt that peace is possible, even for you.

[She giggles. Completely unbothered.]

My name is Fayet. My apologies for not providing it earlier.

[notquitedracula]

[It takes Soma a little while to respond to that. Not because she's getting to him, but because he's trying to figure out her angle. Speaking of peace and love in one breath, and ruling with the next. Also the subtle implications that everyone else is less intelligent, or inherently incapable of understanding her motives. She really should have taken some of these other conversations private...]

The price of peace is eternal vigilance. We will not trade one cage for another, no matter how honey-sweet the words, no matter how bright the gilding. You aren't the first who promised better things, Fayet. I know the stick and carrot routine when I see it, and I will be watching you.

[fatestrings]

... I see. How unfortunate that we won’t be getting along. Immediately, anyway. I do hope that you will give me a chance, dear. Keep an eye on me if it makes you feel better, though.

[notquitedracula]

I'm willing to give anyone a chance. But the first words from your lips on arriving here were a declaration of intent - that tends to be a bad sign.

[He shakes his head, sighing.] Time will tell. At least the harm you can do here is minimal.

[fatestrings]

Such harsh words... But, no bother. Do as you wish.
