Can I ask someone some questions about human parents? Like if you have them, or if you are one!

[ With the way Feferi has her face all up in the camera, you would think she had never used technology before. But no, she's just very exuberant, more so than usual. ]

Oh yeah, and that's not the only thing I wanted to say! So who remembers that we were working on a guide for new people? Well, it's finally ready!

[ Link Attached: A Newbie's Guide to Exsilium ]

But before I print it out, I want everyone to see it. What do you all think? And some people can be relieved that there are only plain, boring fonts, thanks to the all the help I got! If anyone else has anything to add, tell me! Also, it would be great if some people would volunteer as contacts for the new people. You know, like an on-call question answerer!





[ OOC; some notes!

• There will be a printed version of the guide that looks pretty much the same only in folded booklet form, minus the links at the bottom for obvious reasons. In their place there will be a note about those resources being available on the digital version.


• Some of the links are fake because the information doesn't exist in linkable form! Mouse over fake links to see a description of where they lead.


• If you have corrections to make but do not play a character who would bring it up, let me know and we'll figure it out!


• This goes for characters who volunteered questions/answers too, who want to be listed as a writer. I didn't want to assume who would and wouldn't want to be listed.


• If I missed adding a link, let me know and I will add it!

Very different, indeed. [A long pause. This is hard to process.] I apologize if I have caused offense.


[Wow, thousands of years worth of assumptions being challenged really gives you a headache.] But there are orcs and dragons here, yes? You have met them?

[fintastic]

[ She just laughs. ] I'm not offended! It happens.

There are orcs and dragons, and I have met one of each, and they were very kind.

[inafadingcrown]

"Kind" is not "good." [She's forever skeptical on this.]

[fintastic]

That is just splitting hairs! They are kind, and they are not a thread, therefor they are good enough for me!

[ You'd never guess that she was once the heiress to a race of violent aliens... ]

[inafadingcrown]

It is not a meaningless distinction. Many things that are foul seem fair; this is all the more true with dragons, who have been known to twist the minds of their victims for their own amusement.

[fintastic]

True with dragons in your world. But you're not in your world anymore!

[inafadingcrown]

And have you any assurance it is not true with those here?

Surely you cannot fault me my caution.

[fintastic]

It could be, but you could at least give them a chance! You never know, you could make a really great new friend or ally.

[inafadingcrown]

I do not plan to chase them down sword in hand, if that is your concern. [Strictly defensive concerns here.]

[fintastic]

Well, that's a relief!

[inafadingcrown]

Even were I less inclined to peace, I am not foolish enough to seek out a live dragon.
