[mock trial intro] move 'em on, head 'em up

[consolemods]

Whatever you were doing before you got here, it isn't what you're doing now. What you're doing now is waking up in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room with... unfamiliar glasses on your face. No matter what you can do, you can't take those glasses off... but if you roll your eyes down, you'll be given a rundown of what's going on here.

Hmm. Well, that's probably a little unnerving. Maybe you should... leave? Fortunately, your room's not locked, but as you go downstairs and try and ask the locals what's going on, you'll find they're... less than cooperative. And if you go outside the inn and try to leave into the town... well, you'll find several locations around the town, but you'll also find that you can't seem to leave.

Well. Maybe you should talk to the other people who just showed up here. All the locals are going to tell you is an explanation is forthcoming, so you might want to kill some time getting to know each other.

Neither would I, assuming I had money.

[Shaking his head, he gets up from his seat.]

Were you heading anywhere besides away from whatever is happening in the bar?

[acherontiastyx]

Well, it might be a good idea to figure out the lay of the land to actually know what we're doing here. It's better than nothin', anyway.

[fuckthemancers]

Would you mind if I came with you? I need something to occupy myself.

[It's that or have a breakdown.]

[acherontiastyx]

Well, it's not like I know you.

...so you'd better introduce yourself, at least. Then you can come with me.

[fuckthemancers]

Of course. Forgive my manners. It's been... a tiring day.

[And the end of the world happened or he's dead, but you know whatever]

My name is Zulf, an ambassador from the Tazal Terminals, for how little that name means right now.

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, I don't blame you, buddy. Anyway, I'm the formerly hated boss who used to beat you down, and beat you down, and never let up... but I'm trying to chill and stuff. So yeah. I'm Guzma.

[fuckthemancers]

[That's sure an introduction, and Zulf's mouth quirks up in a smile.]

Do you say that every time?

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, it's pretty tough to break the habit at this point. Maybe if I change it up I'll get it gone.

[fuckthemancers]

Let me know if I can help, while we're still stuck here together.

In the meantime... Where did you want to head to first?

[acherontiastyx]

Well... I mean, there's no way they're letting us out of that gate up there. That'd be too easy. So I'm guessing... one of the other places.

[fuckthemancers]

I haven't seen anyone go through it either way.... So if you're probably right. [There's no doubt they've been kidnapped, if this isn't some mass hallucination.]

There were horses but that also feels too easy...

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah. I feel like we should check those horse things out anyway just in case, you know? It can't hurt.

[fuckthemancers]

["Horse things"...]

As long as we don't get too close. [With that said, he starts to make his way in that direction. Fortunate that it's not too far from the saloon.] We don't know how they react to strangers... or if they're bad tempered.

[acherontiastyx]

I mean, I figure we should probably be careful, but they shouldn't, like, attack people, right?

[fuckthemancers]

....I mean, they could bite, but I would think that's only if we're too annoying ourselves.

[acherontiastyx]

...I didn't know they could learn Bite.
