Group Intros

[oi_theoi]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 143, evening
Where: HQ
What: Intros!

[With the rain still pouring on and off all day, new arrivals will have to stick to touring the HQ. At least there's still some excitement to be had, what with all the lizagons returning to roost to avoid the rain. Try not to annoy them when you make your way down to Level 1]

[inruination]

[Shakes his head.] Definitely dead. Everyone here is. It's how you get in.

[thebestmedicine]

How can I get in if I never got out in the first place?

[inruination]

...Hah?

[oh right] You think you're somewhere else. Sorry, no.

[thebestmedicine]

. . . So you got your wish?

[inruination]

Wish...

[Where has he heard stuff like this before. Wish wish wish...] Are you another one from that Sabra place?

[thebestmedicine]

Implying you're... not?

[inruination]

[Frrrrustration]

I'm not. This isn't there, either.

[thebestmedicine]

Did I really die without realizing? But that still doesn't explain how you don't know about Sabra, unless you forgot twice over.

[inruination]

Let's try something else.

What do you think is happening?

[thebestmedicine]

Well, I remember being swallowed by the earth and Pillar and I assumed my psyche had finally collapsed and I was having a very vivid if-highly-inaccurate dream.

But I suppose I'm... not?

[inruination]

No, you're not. You're in Thusia. You died.

[thebestmedicine]

[just sort of deflates, exhaling]

. . . I see.

[inruination]

[Vaguely sympathetic look.] It's not as bad as it could be?

At least you're not mistaking me for that Slick person.

[thebestmedicine]

It's bad enough.

Actually that's who I assumed you were.

[inruination]

True. My condolences.

[Pauses.] Oh. I'm... not, then. [Different scars, unhealthier looking.]

[thebestmedicine]

Ahh... yes. I'm starting to gather as much.

Though I'm still not quite sure how that's even possible—there being more than one of you, that is.

[inruination]

[Laughing.] Oh, it's possible. There seems to be an unending number of us, actually. There's a different one here too.

[thebestmedicine]

A third Slick?

[inruination]

Tyki. I'm Tyki, he's Tyki, and I think the other one was Tyki too except he picked up another name on the way.

Not sure. Don't care.

[thebestmedicine]

Ah. It's nice to meet you, Tyki. You can call me Harmony—or Harm for short.

You sound like you're not very fond of this situation.

[inruination]

Harm. Interesting.

Situation as in being here? I can't say I am.

[thebestmedicine]

Haha, it's not my real name either, but I'm attached to it.

And regarding your... ah, other selves?

[inruination]

I don't care about Slick. Never met him, I've just been mistaken for him a few times and it's annoying.

The other. [some history there] He's alright. We get along mostly.

[thebestmedicine]

Yeah, I can see how that could get frustrating. Sounds like this place is full of people from Sabra, huh.

And it doesn't get awkward?

[inruination]

To some degree.

[don't wanna talk about it] It is at first, but you adjust.

Anyway. Welcome.
