Grace arriving on Erid: "So I know i'm an alien and your scientists are probably like super curious about me, I just want to say you can totally do minor, noninvasive experements on me provided you run them by me first. You can totally take like hair and nail and blood samples, i'm willing to run a maze of two, everyone's been super polite in not asking for anything but I promise im not offended. Are you sure you don't want a blood sample? I swear i'm fine with it, want to scan my eyes and brain activity while I look at different colors? Heck pretty much anything short of flat out vivisection is on the table for discussion here. Please experement on me I really want to know what you find out."

Big fan of college party animal Ryland “it’s been a long time since I took a pill from a stranger without knowing what it was” Grace who is a notorious menace.

need a break

grace and rocky get to erid and both of them are hitting every eridian squarely in the uncanny valley because they've both absorbed so much of each other that they feel both too eridian and not eridian enogh. rocky faces in the direction he's paying attention to and it feels like he's trying to hide something, the way he and only he of the eridians seems to always be showing the same face of his carapace when he speaks to somebody. he speaks in metaphors that only make sense to somebody who understands light-based vision. his intonations are funny, rising on questions when they otherwise wouldn't, falling flat, his sarcasm goes to space dry and restrained and comes back with such force it almost feels like he's lying instead of joking sometimes.
