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]

. . . 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...

[best_ended]

Hm? What's that?

[thebestmedicine]

If you managed to escape from Sabra la Tau before the timelines split and all... what are you doing here?

[best_ended]

I escaped mostly unscathed from Sabra La Tau and was making my way through Jim Kirk, formerly Sky of Orion's universe to get back to my own original.

You should know: the universe is a very cold and quiet place.

[thebestmedicine]

Izaya . . .

[best_ended]

You say my name that way and yet you're surprised I ended up here in the first place.

Should I be warmed by the thought that you think I'm so capable?

[thebestmedicine]

It's just so incredibly anti-climactic, after having survived Sabra la Tau. But hey, like I have room to talk.

[best_ended]

Ah, anti-climactic for those who are watching from one side. Knowing that I've come here after death and that I've been able to play witness to the struggles of humanity reclaiming a world... that makes all the difference, I should think.

In fact, if anything, that would be my wish being granted by karma. I had never liked the idea of death being so final and absolute as most would have you believe.

[thebestmedicine]

Well, when you put it like that...

[best_ended]

There. You see?

And considering how this place brings in doubles and draws from many timelines, that's just all the better? I can see all the different paths some worlds could have and might have taken.

It's a rather diverse group here.

[thebestmedicine]

. . . So it's like you died and went to your very own twisted version of Heaven.

[best_ended]

Don't be so rude.

I would have taken a Hell, too.

[thebestmedicine]

I'm not being rude, just honest.









[then, casually:]


Celty has a head.

[best_ended]

Yes, I saw.

She's from a reality in which she and Kida Masoami partnered up to fight in a war.

Apparently, an Orihara Izaya there did something rather unpleasant and they had him killed.

[tea sip]

... what will you do about her?

[thebestmedicine]

W-Wait, what?
