<strong>Name:</strong>Elfi<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Ship's Slave<br/><strong>Location: </strong>Near the main cargo hatch<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Open<br/><br/>Elfi didn't mind the rougher than expected landing.  Or maybe she didn't know enough to be bothered by it.  Soon after they sat down, Elfi rushed through her sweeping and took her broom to the cargo area by the main hatch.<br/><br/>A couple of the crew had already gone out about their errands and duties, and Elfi envied them.  There was an entire planet out there, someplace new, and they got to go walk about it and see its sights.  So far, all she could see was a little bit of reflected sunlight.  She could smell though, the rich smell of a planet full of life and people as opposed to the flat air of the ship which mainly just smelled like people.<br/><br/>Her whole life she'd never been off her home.  Heck, just getting to go out on the hellishly cold surface had been a treat.  Most of the time everyone stuck to the mines and habitat tunnels.  Going out had been for special occasions, or for some bit of work that had to be done.  Pa had been real funny about going up top.  Said the planet would try to kill you dead and you had to respect it.  He'd been strict about following the cold rules as he called them, and Elfi had learned hard and efficient rules in surviving cold weather that even someone as ignorant as her could still remember.<br/><br/>She also still remembered when she grasped for the first time that the round jewel looking marble sitting in the black, seen through a porthole, had been her home.  That it was a moon, in a 'verse full of moons and planets.  The sheer enormity of it, the beauty, had struck her deep and for days she wasn't quite right in the head trying to comprehend it all.<br/><br/>Elfi still hadn't, not really, but she was on the surface of another world.  That was exciting!<br/><br/>Using the pretense of sweeping up, she moved closer and closer to the hatch until she could see out, then just stood on her broom and took in the sight, eyes big as saucers.
