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]

Ahaha. I'm worried about my boyfriend.

[thevineintervention]

. . . you wish to speak to me about something personal to help your boyfriend? Mm, certainly, the topic must be grave. Will you come home with me and we may speak of it there?

[dothewave]

Sure, if you don't mind!

[thevineintervention]

I could never. This way.

[dothewave]

Thank you for the hospitality.

[followin' along]

[thevineintervention]

Think nothing of it! It's more than a pleasure so bring such a smile into my home~

[dothewave]

Ha ha. I really appreciate it.

[thevineintervention]

[ boop boop unlocking the door and letting them in ]


Hello~ Anyone else home yet~?

[dothewave]

[comin' on in...]

Whoa, you guys have a lot of plants.

[thevineintervention]

We do. I'm trying to get to know them a bit.

[dothewave]

Green thumb, huh? That's pretty cool. I bet it's useful here.

[thevineintervention]

Well, I should hope so.


But in any case you said there was an important matter, didn't you? So how about I'll put the water on for tea, and you may ask me whatever you like, for the aid of your beloved.

[dothewave]

Aah, yeah. Thank you very much.

It's about being a were.

[thevineintervention]

Hmmm~ I somehow suspected. That's a pretty cute match, you know!

[dothewave]

You think so? What part?

[thevineintervention]

The two of you.

[dothewave]

Eheh, thank you. He's a good guy.

He's been a were for a while, and he fell asleep for a while too, so we're kind of in a pinch right now. He doesn't really like it, at least not the black-out-and-have-no-control part - he definitely doesn't trust it at all.

I want to reassure him that it could get better, but I don't really know what I'm talking about, ahah.

[thevineintervention]

Mm, that part, is it?


It's . . . harder, certainly, once our god pulled further back into the dark. Not that there was ever much instruction . . .

[dothewave]

... Does it ever do anything you definitely wouldn't? Like, attack a loved one...

[thevineintervention]

Of course she does things that I wouldn't, that's what she exists. She has killed a perfectly nice boy once and I still do not know why.


But, she has only hurt someone I loved when it was also my wish that she do so. It's easier, now, to understand what she's doing and why, and call her back if I must.

[dothewave]

[rubs his hands together a little...]

You can change back on purpose?... "She," you mean-- she as in, she feels like a totally different person than you? Not still yourself at all?

[thevineintervention]

Of course. She was created inside me, and my fears were a catalyst in her creation, but I am not so vain that I would think that such a beast could exist only as a reflection of myself. She's much more than that, I think.

Mm, now that we've come to an accord, I remember much of what she does, and she too knows my own will and actions, but they are not the same. Not always.

[dothewave]

... How long did that take? And what kind of accord do you mean?

[thevineintervention]

Weeks, really. I struggled with her at first, then I didn't really struggle at all, you know? At At the worst of it, I lost time even when I was myself. But, it must be painful for them as well, don't you think? To exist only as something feared, even by your own creator, I mean.


Once we found something to agree on, there was more and more common ground after that.

[dothewave]

You really think it's painful for them? They don't seem like they're in a whole lot of pain when I see them.
