Entry II | Video

[The sight that appears on your device's screens is that of a wall of smoke, and hopefully you had the speakers turned down because the fire alarms they use here aren't exactly pleasant on the ears. For a minute that's all there is, smoke obscuring vague shapes and the sound of the alarm screeching its head off, but if you stick with it you soon see a shape start moving in through the black clouds, the sound of coughing audible under the alarm. Finally, Reya emerges from the smoke, her hand over her mouth.]

Enough!

[She gestures and shoots two little red orbs off in different directions. There's a loud crack and the sound of glass breaking, and suddenly the alarm disintegrates into static, and the smoke starts to lessen, just slightly. A gust of magically conjured wind speeds it along.]

May Ithilids starve themselves on the brains of whatever sadist designed these infernal machines!

[She turns back to the camera, wiping soot from her cheek.]

I'm certain the one who wrote the instructions on the back of our food is either long dead or not very concerned with my plight, but I would like to inform those providing it that not every world uses whatever absurd system you people have for measuring the passage of time.

[Coughing as she tries to take a calming breath]

Since I find myself with the choice of continually risking burning down my residence, starvation, or throwing myself upon the kindness of others, I am hoping some among you might be willing to explain 'minutes' and 'seconds' to me, as well as the proper use of this 'mi-crow-wave' device?

Also, to those living with me, I apologize for the mess, [She glances over her shoulder] and the window. I'll clean it up as soon as I'm able.

[OOC: Basically, Reya tried to use the microwave, and coming from a world where time measurement is based on people's best guess she made a botch job of it. Roommates feel free to action tag]

Comments

Clearly this is the best combination.

I think I'll start to like this place. [After the smoke smell goes away, at any rate, but he'll cast a look about the room. Really it's quite nice, if unfamiliar.] Having a roof over your head at least sounds like something to hold on to. I could get used to the unfamiliar things too, eventually.

I'm not that familiar with wealthy or powerful people. Where I grew up, magic was a tool we used to survive day to day, not something used for convenience. [How physically fit he is shows that surviving day to day was hard enough.]

[D&D has terrifying things, and Noel will be very happy for their lack where he is.] There wasn't much color where I grew up, so people made clothes as colorful as possible. Like a way to add life to the place. [He shakes his head as if to banish those thoughts. Because...enchanted?] I ah... think I'll stay the way I am. [He wont fault her amusement of course, but the experience is such an awkward thought.]

Just wait until you try the water spray. [Showers! Why do they not have hot showers where she's from? Beats the pants off ice cold rivers. She nods, lowering her cloth and leaning back against the counter] Adaptability is a good skill to hone.

I'm all too familiar with them myself. [She wrinkles her nose. One too many nobles with their swords up their asses and not in their hands thinking that throwing gold at her makes her their pet.] Magic is meant to preserve and enrich life, not wipe a grown man's arse for him. [Despite how small and thin she seems, she's actually in amazing shape, though not as obviously as he is]

[Oh he has no idea how deep the rabbit hole really goes.] That makes sense. I grew up surrounded by brown and green. [She grins wickedly] No fun at all.

Water spray? [There's a bit of a curious look in his eye, maybe it's something he'll find soon. Though part of him has a hope it's got something to do with bathing.] You have to adapt if you want to survive, so I agree with you.

[Well! His eyebrows raise just a little, if people use magic for things that have no need for magic, he can see where the distaste comes from.] If it's that bad, I should be glad I haven't met any.

[The rabbit hole probably goes to Wonderland. Complete with a crazy Queen. Ignorance is bliss in this case.] Most of the world was covered in crystal sand, it all seemed a little colorless. [But with a quick shake of his head and a quiet laugh he's over it.] Maybe I'll learn a new definition of 'fun', living here.

[andhishat]

It's like artificial rain from a faucet, only you can control the temperature. [IT IS THE BEST THING.] You'll find agreeing with me is often a wise choice. [She's clearly kidding. She knows a lot of her ideas suck]

They are just like any other men with too much power and free time, and far too little sense.

[Oh no, this is D&D, it goes to Wonderland with a giant sentient queen chess piece that's also a half dragon. In fact, that might be a module.] Your home sounds like the deserts of Anaroch back home. Suddenly Candlekeep does not seem so bad a place. [Impish smile] Don't worry, I can promise you that you will never be bored as long as I am around.
