[ When Nimona appears on the shellphone, she's wearing a manta ray onesie and has an extremely big manta ray plush as her pillow. ]
I know some big terrible things are happening right now, but that's kinda the point of this. I just need a distraction, because I dunno if I'm gonna get much sleep anyway.
[ She'd rather be out there searching, breaking things... ]
Let's talk about our worlds. It can be about anything. Stories, legends, stuff that's happened to you personally, whatever. I'll start.
[ The shellphone is propped up. ]
My world is weird. We've got knights and a kingdom, but we've also got crazy levels of tech compared to this place. Flying vehicles, laser weapons, those sort of hologram screens. Don't ask me how any of it really works, I only know how to use it.
We've got royalty... though the queen was recently killed. Not sure who's gonna be in charge now. I don't pay that close of attention to what the humans do. And we've got our old stories too. Mostly about a monster and the woman who defeated it a thousand years ago and became a hero.
[ Nimona points at herself. ]
It's me, I'm the "monster". Not really a monster, though, just different from everyone else in my world.
Your turn, if you wanna talk to anyone.

Humans usually use that word when they don't understand something, but it doesn't mean it is what you are. At least, that's the impression I get.
[ He smiles a little, the expression soft and a little lopsided. ]
Trying to give everyone a distraction while things are going on says a lot more about you.
no subject
I won't say I don't get it, what they must have been feeling. After a while, I stopped trying to show them any differently. But not anymore. I'm Nimona, and I'm gonna write my own story, you know?
[ A shrug of her shoulders. ]
It's as much for me as it is for everyone else. Figured I wasn't the only who needed a distraction.
