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.

Time guy? Do you collect watches or something?

[turntex]

yeah sure thats definitely it
were all sharing our supernatural weirdness and relevant combat experience and shit and i went
hey this is a great place to share my crippling addiction to portable timepieces
thats definitely important information for our current situation and everyone needs to know
what can i say i just cant get enough of that ticking sound
it haunts my dreams
its the background noise i cannot escape the soundtrack of my very existence

[Okay, starting to inch a little too close to realness here, Dave.]

[princesspower]

I mean, everyone's got their thing.

[ Adora takes this completely at face value.

Dave, please, have mercy. ]

[turntex]

[Sorry, Adora.]

yeah i see your thing is horses
thats cool
my bro probably would have been all about that potential conversation but i unfortunately dont know shit about horses
sorry
im a piss poor excuse for a cowboy

[princesspower]

What's a cowboy?

[turntex]

its what we call the citizens of the great land of texas
we as a people are known for our horseback riding skills and our incredibly stylish hats but im not really one for tradition

[princesspower]

I've never been to Texas. Or heard of it.

Any reason you're not big on the tradition?

[turntex]

im a trailblazer
cant get dragged down doing what everyone else does
anyway so whats so awesome about horses ive never gotten a straight answer about this

[princesspower]

Have you ever looked at one?

[turntex]

do pictures count
is this one of those situations where nothing will prepare one for the real thing and ill be immediately reduced to awestruck tears the first time i encounter a horse in real life
falling to my knees and openly weeping over the sheer equine majesty and all that

[princesspower]

It wasn't quite like that, but I was definitely blown away by a horse when I first saw one.

[turntex]

huh
wait actually now that i think about i think i accidentally killed a horse once
shit
i guess the magic of the first impression has already passed me by and i was too young to even appreciate it

[ tfw you forget maplehoof ]

[princesspower]

How did you accidentally KILL A HORSE?

[turntex]

shenanigans

[princesspower]

That just raises more questions...

[turntex]

you gotta learn to roll with these things
anyway where are you from that youve never heard of texas

[princesspower]

I'm from Etheria. Or at least that's where I spent most of my life. I wasn't actually from there. I think.

[turntex]

is etheria a planet or a country or what
whats your genre
my first guess would be fantasy given the horse thing but i guess i cant entirely write off the scifi possibility of an alien horse girl
sighing over daydreams of romanticized horse adventures despite horses being wildlife native to whole different galaxy
do you think thats a thing

[princesspower]

Etheria's a planet. It was cut off from the rest of the universe by some dimensional stuff that I still don't totally understand...

I don't think horses were aliens. Although maybe I was? I don't know.
