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 just recently found out magic is real!

[For some reason RWBY draws a line between all the impossible crap they do and "magic."]

[somnioergosum]

Amazing. The world is full of hidden wonders.

[This is why Ronan doesn't usually text. The sarcasm doesn't come across well.]

[valkywhee]

[Honestly, Nora wouldn't care, so he's better off conserving it for people it would affect.]

I know! Unfortunately, most of them are trying to kill us.

[somnioergosum]

Most of who? People who can use magic?

[Cue internal screaming.]

[valkywhee]

Yeah, but only about half of them.

I also meant all the other hidden stuff. It's all totally lethal or at least really dangerous, go figure.

[somnioergosum]

Good to know they're not all bad.

[Internal screaming intensifies.]

Other hidden stuff like what? The killer folding chairs?

[valkywhee]

A bunch of super-powerful capital-r Relics that might or might not end the world, that kind of thing.

The folding chairs were just stupid.

[somnioergosum]

End the world if they fall into the wrong hands kind of thing? So what, you have to destroy them because they're too powerful to exist?

[valkywhee]

Not sure they can be destroyed, actually.

So yeah, this is a really inconvenient time to be kidnapped for me.

[somnioergosum]

Maybe they shouldn't be.

[Projecting wildly there.]

Is there ever a convenient time to be kidnapped?

[valkywhee]

You're the one who brought up destroying them.

[Don't pin your projection on her, mister.]

If we're scheduling our kidnappings, before that time I ended up walking across two continents would have been kinda nice.

[somnioergosum]

You never said you weren't.

[No one can stop his projecting. That requires logic.]

What, you couldn't drive?

They could have picked a better time for me too.

[valkywhee]

We would have taken an airship, but everything was kind of a mess right then.

Is everything on fire where you're from, too?

[somnioergosum]

[Funny she should say that.]

Not yet. Here's hoping it's not going to suddenly blow up while I'm gone.

[valkywhee]

Yeah, I hope so too. It really sucks, and just seems to keep sucking worse the longer it goes. Or maybe that's just where I'm from.

[somnioergosum]

That's just life. One long fight to keep it from not sucking.

[credit_not_blame]

Story of my life.

[valkywhee]

I miss when it was just bandits and Grimm.

[credit_not_blame]

I had a very nice fifteen year period where no one was actively trying to kill me, it was nice.

[valkywhee]

I haven't gone that long.

[credit_not_blame]

Y i k e s.

My sympathies.
