Private to Selina

[with_my_teacup]

Selina. Guess we're talking business today.

Got your file this morning-- we should probably get introduced a little more formally.

Hit my room around midnight? Cabin twelve deck one.



[Spam for Selina]

[Riddick's room is a little better lit than usual-- more low-power bulbs turned on. Not too many more, it's still just a step above twilight, but it's a sign of welcome.

He considers his weapons, and leaves them on the rock walls, just double-checks the gravity traps that keep idle hands from walking out with one.

Then he makes tea.]

[He shakes his head, watching her approach.]

Nah. It's not like seeing before. Whatever he put under my corneas, it doesn't just focus the light, it... Bends it, makes more of it visible. A little UV, a little infra-red-- can see heat like a shadow. But my color vision is shot to shit. I usually don't miss it, considering.

I'd trade up, too, if that's the package deal.

[Selina, being mostly dead, doesn't have much heat; she'd have more of a heat signature in her Catwoman costume, but in regular clothes she's lukewarm at best.]

When does UV come in handy?

[with_my_teacup]

Not often. It's just... interesting. To see what puts off light I couldn't've seen before. To see what reflects it-- strange patterns where there weren't any. [Another headshake] Had to get used to seeing like this. Worth it.

[silvestris]

I've always been a little jealous of all those animals that see colors humans can't. I know there's a trade-off...but it could be so useful. Especially if you get into jewel heists [that last part might be a joke]

[with_my_teacup]

[He makes a show of considering this] I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to discourage crime. Then again.... eh.

[silvestris]

Crime is such a sticky area. So many crimes are justified, how can you think of prosecuting?
