New Arrivals!

[oi_theoi]

Who: Gods + Anyone
When: Day 130, early evening
Where: Shrine area
What: New Arrivals

[It's hard for a god concerned with bringing back civilization not to be restless lately--especially with how things had been progressing--Anima's "celebration" probably didn't put them in a better mood either.

Those gods still interested in pulling in new souls seem to have been having a hard time of it. Generally unused to working together in a large group for consistent periods of time, many gods have wandered off or become indisposed in various ways, and the number of them able or willing to donate their power keeps fluctuating. For a while now it seemed as if they were casting out their lines and coming back with nothing.

Even so, they continue to cast out blindly, but being unable to truly see beyond the borders of their own world's realm, to determine what's going wrong, it's difficult to say if this desperate bid has stopped working...

But today, something a little unexpected happens...]


((ooc: GOD SENSES TINGLING: gods can feel free to comment to this thread, to the arrivals, or to the post in general. Non-god charas are also free to tag anywhere, including to the gods! ALSO, slow-tagging and backtagging is encouraged since Iri and Juri players will be busy after tonight. Arrivals that aren't part of the experiment may also use this post to intro if they wish!

There were some pre-intro threads for the charas who participated in the experiment which will be unlocked tomorrow. The link to the post will go here. App Experiment pre-intro threads

There is (a bit) more to be revealed in announcements on Sunday.

INTROS
App Experiment Arrivals: Juri Kuran | Irisviel von Einzbern | Mao Ephedra Glandol

Perhaps society should take care of its weak links, hmph.

I suppose I can do those things too - hunt and fight, that is.

[misterious]

You can try and convince the others if you want.

Things that are hunted might need to be purified by the gods prior to consumption.

[lovedinrain]

Purified? What's wrong with it?

[misterious]

It used to be toxic to newcomers.

However, the food in the public kitchen on level 3 is already ready to use.

[lovedinrain]

I'll stick with that for now, thank you.

[misterious]

[ She nods. That's what she does, anyway.

There are more than enough violent crazies who love hunting to stock the kitchen. ]

[lovedinrain]

[What a serious face.]

I'm Juri Kuran, by the way. What's your name?

[misterious]

[ She's eyeing this friendly person so suspiciously. ]

...Nikki Porter.

[ She's lying, but unless she has magic psychic powers (or a lot of experience with lying linefacers with issues) it might be hard to tell. ]

[lovedinrain]

[Why so sus! Finding it mildly amusing.]

It's nice to meet you, Nikki.

[misterious]

...Likewise.

[ She notices that amusement, but she's not reacting to it.

This Juri person doesn't seem to be deliberately baiting her, so there's no reason to be more guarded than usual. Which is still really guarded by normal standards. ]

[lovedinrain]

[She isn't unfamiliar with being around cautious people, being a vampire.]

So, how long have you been here?

[misterious]

A couple of months.

[ So she doesn't sound too unhelpful, she adds: ]

If you have any questions about this place, I don't mind answering them.

[lovedinrain]

[thinks] About this place... well... what do we know about this world and what happened on it?

[misterious]

[ Please enjoy this concise summary of the history of Thusia and it's unfortunate demise, as dictated by this deadpan girl.

Her tone is cool and short, though snatches of Japanese-style feminine speech creep into it, like she's making a conscious effort to sound like like a hardass, but ladylike phrasing happens on reflex. ]

[lovedinrain]

[Listens intently and appropriately amazed at what she's hearing. Definitely getting the impression Nikki Porter is a self-possessed, serious, cool kind of girl.]

And so now we're here. I think I understand!

[misterious]

[ If she really does catch on quick, then she's slightly less frustrating than other people. ]

Anything else?
