[ Sean receives a very politely worded invitation to meet for a spot of tea with his mentor Knight a full month and some days after his arrival in this world. When and if he should arrive, he finds a very non-threatening looking gentleman with an easy smile awaiting him in front of a pot of Earl Grey this morning. ]

Well, hello! Do come in, do come in!

Well, training, naturally.

[imgonnadie]

Training like swords and stuff? [Everyone can be pirates.] Any chance part of the training is figuring out what I am?

[diplomatics]

What you are? Is that up in the air?

[imgonnadie]

[He shrugs a little like it's not a big deal, but... it might be.]

Faith says I might be a maenad. I don't remember anything from before, except my name. And maenad sounds right, but... off.

[diplomatics]

I can't claim to know very much about them. They're a... quite rare race, in this world.

[imgonnadie]

[He can't decide if that is comforting or not. On one had he could be a super rare specimin of awesome and on the other hand... he could still not know why the heck he can do what he can do. Which he sums up ever so elequently with:] Great.

[diplomatics]

[ colin leans back, steepling his fingers ] We can, of course, easily help you find out.

[imgonnadie]

How?

[diplomatics]

Well, there's always extensive DNA testing...

[imgonnadie]

[No sorry what the actual fuck is that?] What.... is that?

[diplomatics]

Bloodwork, wherein they would look at the coding in your very construction, that identifies you as ginger or maenad or whatever you may be.

[imgonnadie]

Like gene mutations. [That tugs at his memory and isn't it adorable he can remember that and still struggles with, you know, his cell phone. And DNA. Craaaaazy.]

[diplomatics]

Precisely so! Every species has their own markers, you know.

[imgonnadie]

[Interesting, interesting. It would be nice to know... one thing. Could be handy.] Sounds... what would I have to do?

[diplomatics]

Oh very little, very little. Donate a few cells from here or there. Strands of hair, that sort of thing.
