[Shinji takes to the network just before the security protocols snap into place; there's just enough time for him to sound supremely annoyed.]

Why the hell am I purple.

[Point of fact, he's not actually purple, but rather a shade of maroon that would match his coat quite nicely. But since he's not livestreaming himself, someone would have to see him in person to point that out.]

What's wrong with being purple?

[If it's a thoughtless response, well, she honestly didn't think before saying it.]

I ain't supposed to be purple.

[It's all well and good for anyone who is supposed to be purple, but Shinji is not.]

...you're not the lack-of-oxygen sort of purple, are you?

No.

Oh, good!

Do you know what else you are right now, besides purple?

Cold. [If anything, he sounds even more annoyed about that.]

...are you sure there aren't any oxygen-related problems?

Positive. If I wanted to be a goddamn lizard or whatever I woulda gone back to Yensid.

Oh! You must be a.... gorgon? Gorgon, I think that's it!

They're cold-blooded, are they?

Reptiles usually are.

[It is not funny, he went to a great deal of effort to never have to be cold again.]

True enough... should we find you a sweater? I mean, you sound like you don't want to be cold?

[It is an educated guess.]

Got my coat around. If it gets worse I'll figure somethin' out.

Probably for a similar reason I'm made of golden crystal.

Probably jaunt bullshit, yeah. [At least he's not a rock.]

Definitely so. I suppose it's a world that's connected to Questing Country, as the species here are quite the same from what it looks like.

...Huh.

I could be wrong, of course. Hecatites and Gorgons just seem like too big of a coincidence.

Doubt you're wrong. These guys don't really do coincidences.

[He chuckles.]

That's true. Usually everything has some meaning...

This ain't the dream bullshit, though. So I guess the next question's what's here and why now.

From what I gather, we're in space... but I'll need more information to figure out why.

Doubt anyone's gonna know that right away.

Well, those who get information of the world upon arriving are likely to have a clue. I wish to learn that skill one day.

Ain't one I've got.

If you had, maybe you'd know why you're purple.

[Yes, it's a bit of a teasing tone.]

[That just gets a grumble of profanity in response.]
