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.

So being a "Hunter" is also something different from being a "Guardian", and an "Exo", like how someone can be a specific kind of chef and also from a specific place of origin? I apologize, I am sure this makes sense in context. These are just unfamiliar terms and I would like to be precise and respectful about them. I want to use them correctly.

I assume we will find out if they are lying about anything relatively quickly, although I choose to believe they are sincere about what they intend to do with us in any case ...

That's mostly right. A Hunter's a specialization. All Hunters are Guardians, not all Guardians are Hunters. That's what I am, but Sainty's a Titan. We've also got Warlocks, but whatever's responsible for dragging us all in here hasn't seen fit to pick up one of them.

[ As for the rest, a nod. ]

Wish I could have faith they mean it about helping people out. I'm willing to do it, just expecting to be disappointed.

[passifloraincarnata]

Do you wish one of them was here?

I guess I just don't know what else to do except take them at their word, even if they keep trying to make it hard to. I just don't know anything about the world beyond this Rig, yet, to feel comfortable doing anything else.

To be honest, no.

[ A beat, more thoughtful. ]

Well... Sort of.

[ Then he shakes his head, firmly. ]

Dammit, no, definitely not. They've got other things to be doing. Would I appreciate the Warlock expertise, especially considering we don't know what's out there and it's bound to be weird? Yeah, but I'd rather the City not be down another Guardian.

Besides. It's not exactly the kind of place you'd wish a friend into, right?

[passifloraincarnata]

No, I suppose it isn't. Not even for all that you might miss them anyway, that isn't something anyone should demand of anyone, just for feeling lonely.
