She'd been placed here, just now, following her judgement.
She was to keep away from planet earth a while. Take some time to get to know other worlds, doomed or not. Open her mind to new things instead of obsessing over one race.
Well. Gladly! She'd do it. She'd see what else there was to this little universe!
"Plant. What a cute name." she'd smile to herself, glancing around the town she appeared in. The Tuffles relocated here. She was curious to see what they'd made of this place.

What is with Mojo and stumbling across purple people? First Nen, now this person. Oh well; meeting more people means more opportunities for learning after all. Hearing her words regarding the Planet Plant's name, Mojo would approach, devouring from his placid meditative walk exploring the place he was in. In his right hand he carried a staff of stone he had made using his telekinesis, with a set of prayer beads looped into from a hole in the top. These beads along with the ones normally around his neck would clack gently across each other as he approached.
"Many individuals seem to find the name amusing, considering it either too close to saying the name repetitively or simply finding 'Plant' a bit too awkward to name the whole of a planet."

The girl would tilt her head at the voice, then look over to someone who was decidedly not a Tuffle.
"Oh my. How unusual." she'd blink, leaning towards Mojo curiously as she took in his form and his attire. Realizing she was not, in fact, responding to what he'd said, she'd shift her eyes towards his face and smile.
"Is that so? Truthfully, I felt that Ourangol was a better contender for being named plant...but alas, I believe they've recently been eradicated."
She pauses.
"Or nearly!"

Mojo laughed softly at the stranger's antics.
"As I said, many folks find it amusing. Personally I believe "Planet Plant" is inspirational in a way. A planet that stands for constant potential growth."
Mojo would then clap his hands in front of him and bow a small amount to the stranger, his staff remaining perpendicular to the ground without him holding it.
"Ah, but manners. My name is Mojo. I am but a humble Majin seeking to learn as much of the universe as I can."

Absinthe would give a curtsy in return, then keep her hands neatly behind her back.
"Absinthe." she'd reply rather simply.
"There are many interesting things about this universe!" she'd nod, though, there was a bit of emphasis on the word 'this'.
"You'll have to keep revisiting though. Knowledge for as little as a thousand years can become practically obsolete in a blink."

Mojo would take his staff in his right hand and laugh once more.
"This is true. Reality is always changing and evolving in some fashion. Admittedly, while I do have the desire to learn as much as I can, my main goal is towards Self-improvement. So I have a bit of a focus on anything that can directly improve myself."
Mojo would shrug..
"I suppose everyone finds one thing they focus on, and everything else while useful is secondary. Is a pleasure to meet you, Absinthe."

"Likewise!"
Self-improvement. Seemed many people were doing that in some fashion. A common goal, she supposed.
"I don't think I have something like that." she admits. "But likewise. You said you're a Majin? Somehow that seems...off." she'd admit.

Mojo would chuckle softly.
"I suppose I dress a bit differently from my fellows, but I am a Majin indeed. Unless it is something beyond my manner of dress that confuses you?"

She tilts her head somewhat before just giggling.
"No, that must be it! Sometimes I forget the diversity that exists on some planets."

Mojo would nod at her.
"I suppose that would be confusing. We Majin are nomads by nature ever since our freedom, but even with that in mind I am a bit odd in comparison to my follows."
Here Mojo would tilt his head, examining Absinthe.
"Forgive me, but may I ask what race you are from yourself? Your coloration is unusual for anything local to the system, as far as I am aware."
Not counting Nen, anyway.

She listens politely, before staring up at the sky in thought at the question.
"Me? That...is a bit of a tricky question." she admits.
"At the moment, I suppose I'm a mortal! Or maybe Semi-Mortal would be more accurate. Would that still make me the race I was or something new? It's something I haven't thought much about."

Mojo would hum thoughtfully, considering the question. He got so deep into thought he habitually sat down and crossed his legs to ponder this question... Except sitting down in this case floating in mid-air without actually lowering his body, leaning against his staff.
"I believe that regardless of condition of lifespan, your race would be unchanged. You speak as if it is a step-down from what you were or are. Many tales of folklore and mythology refer to any beings that have that happen to them as 'Fallen', if you believe that applies to you."

"I suppose fallen is accurate." she laughs.
"I spent a lot of time watching humans...when they achieve higher power, it's considered Godhood to them."
She's definitely talking about TV shows, most likely.
"A human is now a God so they aren't human anymore. I guess that's how I was seeing it, but the opposite way. If I'm suddenly stricken with mortality, am I not something different?"

Mojo would shake his head.
"Just because a human has achieved great power and become something more does not mean they STOP being human. Human is more then just a race, it is an identity. If you still consider yourself to be your race, you are, regardless of the opinions of others or how circumstances change."
Mojo would gesture at himself.
"As you said, I am different from most Majin. Yet I still identify as Majin. Am I wrong to do so?"

"Hmmm..."
It's not an immediate no.
"I suppose the sense of identity matters. I look at you and see a majin." she nods.
"My hair and my skin have changed since I...'fell'. I don't much look like my family anymore. I've also lost access to my original power...so I've had to start using energy..."
Did that make it somewhat different?
