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.

what's a gem? other than a sparkly stone for jewelry but I think you mean something else

[shipoftheseus]

[Oh man, how does one even answer this question? Phos does briefly try to think of a legitimate answer, but it's so vague and open-ended that they quickly get frustrated.]

a person like me obvioussly
whats a human??

[Let's see how well you handle a question like that.]

[wheyoftheadept]

it's what the intelligent life native to most versions of the planet terra seems to usually call itself. in my version we call ourselves "metahuman" and you have like, trolls and elves and dwarves but since we came from the same like, basic family we're all types of human basically.

you saying you're a gem makes me think that you're a person who is not human so i guess im also asking where you're from and all that.

[shipoftheseus]

[They're genuinely trying to follow this. Trolls and elves and whatnot all mean nothing to them, but if they're all types of humans then maybe it's like the difference between them and any of the other Gems?

They know they're not human, but trying to narrow it down based on point of origin is where they're coming up blank.]

where??
the samee place as all the others

[Which, evidently, these people don't know anything about somehow, so....hmmm.]

i think sensei saidnthe planet was called earth once
i dont know
we dont really bother calling it anyhing

[wheyoftheadept]

huh. all right then. there are intelligent rock people/not flesh people where i'm from, we call them obsidimen. maybe you're related somehow if your from a version of earth.

[shipoftheseus]

[ what ]

do you mean obsidian?
i know them

[wheyoftheadept]

no i mean there's a type of person that's made of rocks instead of organic matter. as a group they call themselves "obsidimen." the one i know is named beryl, she's super strong and really cool.

you seem to also be made of rocks and not organic flesh.
