Gotta call 'em like you see 'em.

[There's an instinctive half-shift in the instinct to offer a hand. Video calls are still a little fuzzy, apparently.]

Joyce. What's yours?

[bluecircuit]

Nebula. [She peers into the video feed.] You're Terran? Human? Seems most people on this ship are.

[persisto]

[A small thing, but it makes her smile.] Definitely human. We-- call ourselves "Earthlings," I guess, out here in the cosmos.

[Although honestly? "Terran" sounds way cooler.]

What about you?

[bluecircuit]

My planet was Luphom. But I haven't been there since I was stolen from it... [She's not sure she'd be welcome back, considering what she'd become and the reputation she'd gained as a Daughter of Thanos.]

[persisto]

Luphom. [Repeating it won't make it stick, but it won't hurt.] So you used to--

[The camera veers slightly as she lifts one hand to wave at the space around her. The lowest tech is still a little beyond her, here.]

--all this sort of thing?

[bluecircuit]

[Her head tilts at Joyce's gesture around her.] Spacetravel? Yes. It is normal for me.

[persisto]

Oh, good!

[There isn't a huge amount of good news these days. This is worth letting her face light up over, at least a little bit.]

One less thing to have to get used to while you're here.
