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]

[thebestmedicine]

Wow, that sounds... painful.

[best_ended]

Ah, well... you're here now at least. And with no memory of your own death? That's sort of fortunate, wouldn't you say?

[just gonna watch to gauge where you're at in your adjustment stage now]

[thebestmedicine]

I'm not so sure myself.


[ssslowly processing all this. or trying to, at least]

[best_ended]

... if you need some tea to settle your nerves, there's a public kitchen.

[thebestmedicine]

I-I'm okay...

[best_ended]

Don't forget to breathe now.

[thebestmedicine]

[I'M BREATHING]


... How did you end up here?

[best_ended]

Oh, that's a long story. Involving betrayal of the Judges, turning over Queen's piece to the Blanks, escaping Sabra La Tau... it was quite an adventure.

[Imma wander toward the kitchen]

[thebestmedicine]

[ffffollows 8|]

So you made it out?

[best_ended]

I did! I treated the Blanks to a show of sticking it to King, so to speak.

[rummaging in cupboards when they get there. fortunately, there's a place to sit if you're getting weak-kneed]

[thebestmedicine]

[he goes sit down on instinct, but he's playing close attention]

—Wait. So you didn't get your wish?

[best_ended]

Haha, that's a funny question, Shinra. Remember what I told you my message to me was?

[tea tea tea. we're making teeeaaaa]

[thebestmedicine]

Everything is still hazy right now, mind refreshing my memory?

[just watches... kind of resigned]

[best_ended]

I was there on vacation.

Why would I need a wish after all that?

[here, your tea.

sitting across from with his own cup which he is sipping from]

[thebestmedicine]

. . . Thank you.


You're unbelievable.

[best_ended]

Haa... what's with that sort of compliment?

Oya, or is that an insult?

[thebestmedicine]

Take your pick, it serves as both.

[takes a sip from his tea, falling quiet again]

. . .

[best_ended]

[this is something of a fond laugh, though something of his usual sort that says he's laughing at you rather than with you]

You're really not that different in spite of things.

[thebestmedicine]

Different from what?

[best_ended]

From before, I want to say...?

Maa, that's a difficult thing to judge, in any case.

[thebestmedicine]

[smiles wryly]

How long has it been?

[best_ended]

For me?

I arrived here on the sixth day of these gods bringing in the dead. It's currently day one hundred forty-three, if I recall correctly.

[thebestmedicine]

. . . And overall?

[best_ended]

Let's see...

You went to the Pillar somewhere around Day 206 or so... and the Clockmaker was killed around Day 300 from what I've heard. Time after that was incongruent, so you can't really measured. But.

You usually end up in this place immediate upon dying, so for you, it's been roughly one hundred days.

I actually escaped around Day 289. So that would mean it's been roughly two hundred and twenty days or so.

For anyone else who was in Sabra La Tau and then came here because of how things ended in that timeline: roughly two hundred and forty days.

[thebestmedicine]

[nods, listening]

There's something I don't understand, however...
