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]

There was a bit earlier in the forests.

[MANAGES to tear his eyes away to look at her, and brushes his hand alongside her jaw]

It's beautiful... isn't it?

[ofstormandsea]

[ leaning into his touch, easily, but staring outside the window. ]

I am not so used to watching the rain this way, even now.

[webmd]

[mm looks back out]

Why is that? I suppose you lived mostly underwater?

[ofstormandsea]

Yes. Since arriving in this place I have been on land far longer than all the instances during my life combined.

...There is nothing quite like watching lightning flash and waves roll the surface of the sea during a storm, under the surface.

[webmd]

... I imagine. I couldn't see such a thing and survive.

[ofstormandsea]

In saltless water, I am certain you could, had you the sense to hold your breath, or else magics to give you gills.

[ Takes his hand, gently, and leads him out onto the balcony. ]

[webmd]

. . . [follows along...]

I'm no magician. And wouldn't holding my breath be dangerous, if it's a breathless sight?

[ofstormandsea]

[ her touch lingers, even as she lays down her hood and closes her eyes to better feel the rain on her face. ]

Some might die happy, seeing such beauty. But I would not die for it, myself. There are many more beautiful, inexplicable things beneath the waves.

[webmd]

Hahah. Like you.

[ofstormandsea]

[ Blinks a little, to glance at him. She smiles, a little exasperated. ]

I am just going to have to accept your strange flattery, aren't I.

[webmd]

You've already given me the strangest flattery of all, saying I'm worth husbanding, so you're going to have to burden all the flattery I can muster, my lady.

[ofstormandsea]

[ She laughs, just a bit. ]

I would not say it if it were not true-- but I was never considered of good taste back in the city, either.

...I don't mind it. It feels nice.

[webmd]

Well, a match is all in the pair after all. . . and I am glad for it. Apparently you've suffered a needless drought.

[ofstormandsea]

I hadn't realized it, until you.

[ Can I lean on you. I'm leaning on you. ]

Thank you.

[webmd]

. . .

[his expression... shifts a bit, confused, but smiling. . .]

You're most welcome. . .

[ofstormandsea]

[ Glancing at him. ]

Are you usually this confused by general affections?
