you know like LGBTQIA+? That kind of pride month?
The Coordinator: Are we expected to understand that acronym?
The Curator: I can try to figure out what it means maybe?
The Cartographer: Like Gamma Behaves Through Quasars Impacting Atmosphere and more? Is it a scientific study?
The Curator: Oh that was good, let me try! Light Gives Before Taking Quantum Inquiries Absolute in addition. Could it maybe be about the mortal cyclical nature of life and death?
The Coordinator: Oh, how interesting, I simply must try. Lunar Gravity Brings True Quiet In Absence once more. Perhaps it is a story about the theme of peace and contemplation found alone in space?

Do you have any book recommendations coordinator? Also I feel like you’d love something called ao3
The Coordinator: I have many books that I enjoy, but they are all in languages that you do not understand.
The Curator: That's just an excuse, I can go get one and read it for them.
The Coordinator: I am actually going to kill you.
The Cartographer: I do not want to hear that at all.

Cartographer, Did you just say curie? As in...
MARIA SKŁODOWSKA CURIE REFERENCE?!
The Curator: No, that's just a nickname based on my title. Who is that? Is that a human name?

It's pride month, Archivists. You all know what that means
The Coordinator: No, I do not. I am unable to recall there being a celebration of that name on your home planet. What is "pride month"?

Can yall wish me sweet dreams
The Coordinator: Sleep well, mortal.
The Curator: Yeah, I hope it's a good sleep. I usually sleep really badly.
The Cartographer: I don't dream at all, but I wish I did. When I sleep it's hard for me to be able to tell how long I've been asleep since it always feels like no time has passed at all.

wait how fast can you guys do things? Because making a crib and baby clothes seems like they would take a long time
The Curator: Well, I've never had to make baby clothes before, but I have thousands of years of experience making clothes, so I can make them well and quickly.
The Cartographer: I am the same but with furniture.

Curator, you are kinda short compared to your twin, they should hold your hat above you while you can't reach it
The Curator: It sure is a good thing I can fly then, isn't it.
The Cartographer: Yeah, but I can still fly faster than you.
The Curator: I have a kill switch in all of your clothing, so if any of you piss me off enough I can make your wardrobe disintegrate.
The Cartographer: Wh- really??? Are you being serious right now, Curie?
The Curator: If you wanna find out, you can always try your luck.

thats a lot of kids. there must be so many of you then, thats kinda scary to imagine so many unimaginably powerful beings out there able to just destroy everything on a whim. i hope most of them are as kind as you all are
The Curator: Nope, I'm the nicey-est of all Collectors.
The Cartographer: Aren't you usually a better liar?
The Coordinator: I thought that that was one of her more convincing lies, honestly.
The Curator: I'm gonna kick your asses.
The Cartographer: Can you even reach it without floating?
The Curator: Fine! I'll blow you up then!

I can barely handle my 3 siblings, I couldn't imagine having 1000, your poor caretaker,AND being a twin aswell
The Coordinator: Well, that is much less of a worry than you would think. We tend to only stay in groups large enough to function as an effective Archive. Maybe only 10 of us together at once. Many will only stay long enough to wait for someone to be sufficiently trained to replace them in their position, before leaving to make their own Archive.

Sorry, 113? That's a lot of children. Is this a spiders georg situation, or do Collectors really like having children?
The Cartographer: The ones that want to have children have a lot of children. We can have kids from the moment we learn the Nova spell, and we never lose the ability to. We don't have to worry about feeding, clothing, or housing our children, and we don't have to worry about something taking them from us. Usually. So we can just keep having them forever, at whatever pace we want.
The Coordinator: If Charmer were here, she would be able to explain this better. If I recall correctly, she wants to have many, many children, but none of the rest of us want any, this is very common.
The Curator: Basically, when a Collector wants kids, they like kids, so they have a lot of kids. The fact there is only five of us is unusual. I think our Caretaker once said that xe has about 1,000 siblings, and the number is only that low because our grandparent only has a child once a comet, or 100,000 years, and they are almost a ring old, or 100,000,000 years. So yeah, there's a lot of us, but we're all really spread out.

Hey coordinator, don't you ever think it's a bit funny that you lived days without your siblings, but your siblings have never lived a day without you?
The Coordinator: I mean, is that not how time works? Also, it was more than mere days, I was an only child for 500 orbits. Most Collectors are the same as us, having siblings, as the average number of children a Collector will have when they want children is 113.

What do Elder Collectors look like?
The Coordinator: I suppose it depends on how old you mean. We always will have our base form, the one that you see right now. Older Collectors, the very eldest of us, can more unconsciously alter their forms. Their power levels are high enough that it is easier to accidentally shapeshift or lose track of their default form. None of us have actually seen it, because that is something that only starts to occur when a Collector reaches one Star in age, or a billion of your mortal years.

*draws a bee and shows them, it's a perfect drawing, some inmates are like "OoooOooo"*

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what its fellow mortals think is impossible :)
The Coordinator: I am willing to say that if you gave me the relevant information I can easily prove that the mortals who have made that determination are wrong.
The Curator: Couldn't it just be that the way these bees flies is magic?
The Coordinator: I do not think that magic is a factor in this situation because if it was, the mortals who have made this determination would not believe it to be impossible to begin with.

a burger is an earth delicacy consisting of a meat patty (typically made of an earth animal known as a 'cow') between two buns! although there usually additional, optional components such as tomato or lettuce (earth plants), or cheese, or various different sauces.
The Coordinator: Oh, a delicacy? How interesting. What makes it a "burger"?

how long do missions charmer goes on usually take and what do yall do in the mean time?
The Coordinator: The duration of the mission varies quite a lot, though the average tends to be a little less than a single orbit, perhaps close to nine moons. While he is gone, I usually work on the encyclopedias for the planet he is on, and then the next one we will visit.
The Curator: I do my job, organizing mortals who are sent up here by her. When I get the free time, I work on my creative projects, like sewing clothes for fun, and designing new wings of the Archive for the Coordinator to approve.
The Cartographer: I alternate between being here and being out, exploring and charting constellations and solar systems, to determine whether they have life, and to write down the specifics of the satellites within. I spend one moon doing that, and then spend one moon here. I usually work on personal projects or help my sisters here, mostly the Coordinator with writing the encyclopedias.
