Cole: *panicks* ack!! *hologram disappears*
Eli: apparently showing off his holo-whatchamacallit. Bought it from some planet-hoppers in Valbar City. Nothing much more than a gimmick, though it may have merit if further developed...

Raining: *almost seems to pout as she stows her weapon again* Oh well. So you got holos, huh? Guess that's something, at least. *pops up her wrist holojector for a second and pushes some virtual buttons*
Lothair: A clever disguise it is, to be sure. Now, from whence do you come, young man?
Me: ("the Wood" meaning Y Goedwyfn, that is. Literally a giant forest.)

Me: Sorry about that. I was away from home for a night, and it was just about dropped on me, so I didn't think to say I'd be away for a while.
Marturell: *thinks* *to Eli* Ah, so near Fillinon Delk or Angferd. *to Lothair* Nordurmann…Northerian? Although I accept your independence from such descriptions…for example, the Duerese people I work with tend to lean towards either their Ardent or Plainsman ancestors. *eyes Cole and his hologram* You have machines that bear the Voice of Pastweaving? The Teller would be interested to know… *leans forward* Show me that again.
Shand: *eyebrows twitch* I've never heard of the Firestone. I mean…I don't know what I mean. Just that Veechi charsmiths can make…explosions. Is the Crimson Sea in Haos? They call it the Stormlakes down there, and it's the picture I have in my head. *to Raining* I'm from the fifth century. Since the Scattering, that is. Are you using the Revetorian calendar?

Me: The night was dropped on you? o_0
One-
Lothair: In your tongue...North folk, I believe. *seems surprised at a lack of reaction to that* Østfjord to Denefrynn, and now to the Wood...lonely, yes, but finally at peace to study, and to understand.
Raining: Om, I don't know what a calendar is. Annnd it's One-Sixty-Three. *glances at her holoscreen again* 163-3-9 actually. *points at Shand* And you look super wierd.

Cole: *to Lothair* ((I assume you're talking to Cole, right?))
I'm from Raven's Nest, in the Black Shards. Me and Eli were traveling together to Stormhaven but we made a wrong turn and wound up here. *to Shand* isn't Veechow between here and Stormhaven?
*to Marturell* ok, sure. *presses a few more buttons* *becomes a massive grey-skinned warrior with full battle armor and broadsword* *taps metal* it materializes parts of the disguise by rearranging the atoms in the air, turning it into solid objects. It can't do complicated weaponry, like your gun *motions to Rain* but it has no problem with swords, spears, maces, etc.
There's just one drawback though: as you can see, it doesn't affect my voice.

Raining: Not even this old thing? *turns her gun around* That sucks

Cole: I'm not sure. From what I can tell, Raven's Nest is two days' travel from here, and it's a 4-day journey from Raven's Nest to Stormhaven, but we got turned around and got lost so I'm not exactly sure. If I'm not mistaken, Veechow is half a day's walk to the south of Stormhaven, correct?

Lothair: This Veechow place, I have never heard of. I cannot say where my homeland is, for I am afraid I am very much lost here.

Shand: *scowls* *to Raining* Alright, I was punched in the face, okay? No need to be rude about it. *to Eli* No, it's south. Stormhaven Bay is north, Veechow is south. *to Cole* Maybe half a day's walk south if you're walking very fast. *scrunches up his face* No, I think it's a bit further than that. A few days at least. You have to go up the Crags to get there.
Marturell: *rubs chin* *to Lothair* Your tongue definitely resembles our own. It would seem that there are common factors binding the worlds together—proof of Eternity's omnipresence. *raises eyebrows* *to Cole* Pastweaving is different to your technology…it is mist-based, incorporeal. And Pastweaving is very much based on voice. I believe the Teller would be interested to see your technology. As for your map details… *draws two fingers across the air* The Black Shards. *puts a finger to a point just below them* Trevallion. *moves finger to the right* Raven's Nest, from your perspective. Then— *holds up flat palm beneath Trevallion point* —you have the Bay of Names, with the Duor Delta to the west. South of the Delta you go from Scadan to Baramynd and then to the Delks of Roog which border the western side of Stormhaven Bay. We are south of Stormhaven Bay. Veechow is south of us. You are much more than two days' walk from Raven's Nest.

Lothair: I am glad you understand me at least, for many of the words you are speaking are utterly lost on me!

Shand: *scowls more* What kind of ridiculous question is that? I'm wearing keric's attire. I didn't choose the colours or cut, so you can't blame me. *takes a deep breath and pinches the bridge of his nose* Honestly. Marturell: *sighs and sits back in his chair* Perhaps I should produce a map for your perusal, and a Duerese encyclopedia. *reaches to the bookshelf and pulls out a rolled map* *pauses* I seem to have misplaced my encyclopedia. *unrolls the map* *points to the hills south of Stormhaven Bay* We are here…and the Black Teeth is another name for the Black Shards. Shards is more archaic.  |

Eli: wow, we really did get off course. I guess that "shortcut" through the marshes really did get us here faster, because it's only been two days since we set out from Raven's Nest.
Cole: *to Shand* I think she was talking about me. This is the standard battle armor of a Gwar warrior. *deactivates holo disguise matrix* I installed the template because it's not that complicated for the HDM to render, and it may come in handy if we were to meet bandits or the like on the road.

Marturell: *frowns* Did you walk or sail? Because I cannot imagine someone making it all the way from Fillinon Delk to the slough-hills in two days.
Shand: *folds his arms* Yeah, sure, she can be talking to you. I'm happy with not looking weird. *raises an eyebrow at Raining*

Raining: Well actually you both you straight up whack. *She herself is dressed in what can only be described as a black plastic-like tank top with ridiculously tall boots that hinge at the knees and a bleached blonde ponytail that hangs past her hips*
Lothair: *shakes his head slowly* Alas, not a name on this map do I recognize.

Shand: *scoffs* We all have our quirks and foibles. *eyes Raining's boots and lifts an eyebrow*
Marturell: *rolls up map* There are only two Duerese provinces depicted here. I will accept that you come from a different land, whether in Valdegurd or from another world.

Raining: *pivots on her ankle as if obliging him* *the boots essentially serve as her leggings that stretch up to her mid thighs* Sure, whatever.
Lothair: Quite another land entirely, I assure you. *glances about* If you would happen to have a parchment and quill, I could show you from where I come.
Me: I just so happen to have maps available haha

Cole: *glances down at his own hiking boots, then back at Rain's boots* are those even practical?

Me: *to NB* Yeah…all this time I've been thinking, "I'm speaking from a fully formed world." The map I posted is about a quarter of the current map for my book.
Marturell: *gestures to parchment as Eli brings them over* Please, be my guest. *rises to meet Sephiriah* Welcome, friend, to the house of Eternity.
Shand: *folds his arms tightly* Do you want the dictionary definition?

Me: Sorry for making you wait heheh. Here's a small portion of my map showing relevant regions for my characters currently in play on both threads. plus.google.com/102956030583891876516/posts/FuGJTPdzcgrLothair: *begins to carefully sketch the outline of the smaller continent on the left/top* Sephiriah: Mm, hello sir...I'm afraid I'm quite at a loss as to where I am in this town. I saw it to be gutted and ruined, but the interior quite defies this appearance. I ventured from the lands of the House of Dreygu...tis not far from here. *She is a Tiefling with magenta skin and dark purple eyes. Her horns curl gracefully back behind her head and black hair* *is dressed in somewhat subdued robes of nobility* |

Me: I recognise the Caravaugh and Caer Cranna names from your writing thread.
Marturell: *rubs chin* *to Sephiriah* Your confusion may well stem from the fact that you are not the only wanderer in this place. There seems to be some sort of world-merging going on. *stands* As for where you are, you are in the county of Skytwist Crags, in the empire of Duerin under the reign of Natash the Successor.
Shand: *gapes at Sephiriah's horns and colouring* *tries to look like he's not staring*

Me@sunblade Never! Begone! Jk x)
Raining: *dramatic shrug* Whatever definition you like
Sephiriah: A melding of worlds, you say? Is this a great center of arcana? *glances at Shand with a knowing smile and a flick of her serpentine tail*
Lothair: *glances at Rinna* Ah, hello there.

Shand: *blushes and looks in the other direction* *misses Raining's comment*
Marturell: *severe tone* Shand. *to Sephiriah* Arcana—not here, at least, not in this very place. The Golds south of here are subject to a stretching in Time, and the Tower of Meryn is a natural centre of arcana—as you put it—but the slough-hills of Skytwist Crags are not especially famous for their magical significance.

Cole: *gaping as much as Shand but not as successful at concealing it*
Eli*notices Cole's reaction to the newcomers, elbows Cole in the ribs*
*Turns back to map* wait--none of this looks right! I'm sure we traveled from Raven's Nest to here in under two days. How did we get all the way here? *catches himself* *glances at the just-as-lost newcomers* there may be something strange going on here, after all.
((Sorry for the long absence))
