[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.

[Against all odds, cocky bullshit almost seems to put him at ease and his shoulders lose some of their tension.]

The strange spectacles did give you away.

So none of this seems familiar to you either, I'm going to guess.

[helldestiny]

Nope, not at all. I take it you know nothing too?

[fuckthemancers]

I know I need a smoke.

[Ha. Ha.]

There wasn't anything in your room, right? I only found clothes and paper in mine.

[helldestiny]

Nope, just these stupid glasses and what you found.

[She has...a thought, but first]

What's the year for you?

[fuckthemancers]

Ah, well, that depends. Are we talking the Cael or Tazal calendar? You don't seem like either to me, but...

[Well, he doesn't look like he belongs in Caelondia either.]

[helldestiny]

...um.

You're not from Earth, are you?

[fuckthemancers]

[...Oh boy.]

There's a joke I could make here... [Ura humor, whoo] But I have a feeling you're talking about somewhere more... specific.

[helldestiny]

[Seriously?]

The planet Earth?

[YOU'RE NOT FUNNY GET OFF THE STAGE]

[fuckthemancers]

[LET HIM HAVE WHAT HUMOR HE CAN SCROUNGE UP]

No. [A soft sigh.] I only know 'earth' as the ground beneath my feet.

[Letting his hands fold in front of him, he thins his lips.]

All of this... is starting to become too fantastical.

[helldestiny]

So not from Earth. Mercury?

[What? Its possible...]

[fuckthemancers]

....No.

[Shaking his head, he looks up again.]

Actually, even if I was from Mercury, how could you know that I'd call it by the same name?

[helldestiny]

Psh, that's an easy one. Some names are just universal. The whole galaxy knows where it is, it's named after a person and it makes sense to not have a bunch of names all that.

[Granted its named after people she very intensely dislikes but. Yeah.]

[fuckthemancers]

...Then I think we can safely agree that we're not from the same galaxy.

...Which would be more astounding for me to say if I hadn't been talking to animals today.

[helldestiny]

You must be having a fun day if you just learned about their existence.

[She, meanwhile, is cool as a cucumber about the whole thing as she shrugs.]

[fuckthemancers]

I feel intoxicated, but not nearly enough, honestly.

[It'll hit him later, when it's all sunken in, probably. That'll be a fun time.]

[helldestiny]

That's too bad.

I can't imagine what you'd think about something like time travel being possible. Because, well...it is possible, too!

[Would your head explode? WOULD IT???]

[fuckthemancers]

...Are you just tossing things out now to make me react?

[Talk to him about time travel in, like. a week. ah ha. fuck.]

[helldestiny]

Maybe a little!

[Even though this isn't Sailor Moon, she still can't help enjoying people squirm a little. It's almost like being infused with dark energy makes you a slight asshole or something.]

I'm not actually joking, though. I'm a time traveler by occupation.

[fuckthemancers]

Of course you are.

[His week (??) is determined to keep being just... the worst. He heaves out a sigh.]

Do you know if they destroyed all the alcohol in there in a bar brawl yet, or...?

[helldestiny]

[SHE CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DO NOok she totally doesn’t care if this dude does. His loss!

...right, booze]Oh, the flower girl did some damage, and I threw a couple bottles around, but you’ll find some still!

[She is proud of herself. She Did That. She So Edgy.

Fair warning though, stuff I had tasted like pee.

[fuckthemancers]

[For a moment, he seriously eyes the door leading back into the saloon.]

Would you prefer that to what tastes like a mouthful of rusty nails?

[helldestiny]

Geez, pee all the way, then. Is that what booze tastes like in your world?

[fuckthemancers]

Cael booze. And only sometimes. Others taste like leather boots, or saddlebags, or rocks....

[A certain dryness overtakes his tone, making it well known just what he thinks about a lot of Cael alcohol.]

They all have practical uses, whatever the taste, but still...
