[theshadowturnedhero]

[...well, someone covered in runes and angry is probably not a good thing.]

Yeah, most people are confused when they first get here.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[some of those runes are glowing aaand she immediately has a fireball out]

Then start explaining. Why am I alive?

[theshadowturnedhero]

[...magic light, even if it's fire, is reason to be wary.]

First off? Calm down.

[But good at not showing fear! Light is not out to hurt me, light is not out to hurt me and I can take on a fight with a person.]

Frying people ain't gonna help ya get information any faster. If anything, it'll be slower because people are trying to get ya not to attack people.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[yes that does not work]

Talk.

[theshadowturnedhero]

...

[He's a stubborn bastard.]

I'll explain once the fire's gone.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[i'm pretty stubborn too

THROWS FIREBALL AT YOU]

[theshadowturnedhero]

[Yeah, he is not surprised.]

[And he's dodging as he soon as she sees her launching and there's a sword morphing from darkness into his hand and he points it at her.]

Calm. Down!

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[WEAPONS COMING OUT DOES NOT EQUAL DOWN CALMING. She has a second fireball out and a large knife that is glowing fire-white.]

Don't fuck with me! Why am I here??

[theshadowturnedhero]

You're the one pulling fire on people who are offering you information, ya moron! Ya wanna fight, go ahead, see what that gets ya!

Or ya can calm the hell down and I'll tell ya in damn detail exactly what happened to ya!

[pyropathic_ambicide]

If you want me to calm down you'll start talking!

[theshadowturnedhero]

Hey, you're the one in demand of information. I could walk away and let ya be lost and confused if ya weren't liable ta fry someone.

Put away the fire. I'm sure ya can summon it up just fine again if ya need to, but I ain't explainin' ANYTHING ta a tempermental fire maniac who can't even do that much.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[this is a look of pure, cold hate

but after a looong moment she waves her left hand over the fireball and it goes out]

[theshadowturnedhero]

[He's fine with that, he's familiar with the look.]

[As soon as the fire is gone, he lowers his hand and the sword vanishes.]

You're in Thusia. It's another world. The gods of this place have taken the souls of the dead and revived them here to rebuild their world.

That's the basic gist. Any of those concepts foreign to ya before I go on?

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[I STILL HAVE MY KNIFE, and switches it to her dominant hand]

Gods aren't real.

[theshadowturnedhero]

[He is less concerned about weapons than magic fire. More time to react to weapons.]

Different worlds follow different rules. Whether or not they exist in your world, they exist here.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

But this isn't hell. Or some kind of afterlife.

[theshadowturnedhero]

No. Everyone is from different worlds. Sometimes there's a group from the same world, but there's at least a couple dozen different worlds people originate from.

The gods have taken you from your world, your world's cycle of life and death, and given you a new life here. Whether you wanted it or not.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

...prove it.

[theshadowturnedhero]

That you have a new life or this isn't the afterlife?

[pyropathic_ambicide]

That what you're saying, all of it, is true. Prove this isn't my world.

[theshadowturnedhero]

Do you know what a 'fridge' is?

[pyropathic_ambicide]

....you're kidding.

[theshadowturnedhero]

People come from different worlds. I don't have technology like that in mine and that might be a bit more specific than the jungle taking over the apartment building.

Depending on the world you come from.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[that is almost stupid enough that i believe it]

Sorry, fridges have been around a long fucking time. Try again.

[theshadowturnedhero]

Magic AND technology, huh? That's a bit tougher.

Well, might as well give the nature a try. Come on, this way. [Heading towards the door.]
