001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

I'll have to rebuild it first. I wonder what the fabrication facilities are like here....

[Somebody better let her do a science or she's gonna make their lives miserable.]

[garmr]

Just so we're clear here - the only catch is that you want me to test it out? That it?

[he's used to getting free help from his friends, but he won't expect that from a stranger - even if they do have common interests. ]

As a physician, I do have a moral responsibility to relieve suffering, you know! Besides, if we're going into the field regularly, I definitely want everyone at full effectiveness.

[If he doesn't buy high-minded ideals, how about self-interested pragmatism?]

[garmr]

Hm.

[Odd, but seems genuine enough. Looks like a brand spanking new hand might be on the horizon for him?? Who would've guessed?]

It's Guts, by the way. Forgot to mention it.

[he's not good at introductions]

[greyaria]

Nice to meet you! If you're a human from Earth, I assume you're from no later than the 20th century?

[The 20th century being 600 years ago for her and thus Very Historical.]

[ ugh. datekeeping is for merchants and monks. Guts does his best to remember the last time he saw a date in town. It's been months since he's been in contact with human civilization, and Fairy Island time is weird. ]

Mm. Try a few hundred years earlier and you'll get close. Around four or five...

[greyaria]

No wonder you're down so many important parts! Don't worry, medicine has been improving steadily since the mid-1800s.

[Dr. Grey: tactless, but helpful.]
