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 don't know magic, but I've met a ghost, a witch, some leprechauns, and a banshee.

[Also a genie, technically, but a wish to make sure that entire incident had never happened meant that entire incident had never happened.]

[You know what, this is not a talking mouse is not the strangest thing in Ronan's life. Still he has to take a moment to stare at the screen before switching to video.]

You've got me beat there.

[...And you're a mouse...]

Is your world supercharged with magic? Is that how you can talk?

...I don't think so? I can't normally talk. Well, I mean, I can. obviously, but not in a way most humans can understand.

[He just pictures all the mice on his farm talking to each other about all the dreams he makes. How many existential crises can one person take?]

So you're a regular mouse who's maybe seen more weird shit than I have.

[The slightly dazed look in his eyes shifts more to interest.]

You saw leprechauns and banshees, have you been in Ireland?

[scavengineer]

Once. We were actually trying to go to England. My friend Monty's ancestors came from there. But between the wind on the way over and fog once we'd shown up, the Rangerplane got blown a little off course and crashed in Ireland instead. The leprechauns needed help getting their magic back so they could get rid of the banshee, so we decided to stick around and help them.

[It was a bit of an oversimplification of the whole case. Especially since it ignored all the things Darby had done to make the Rangers stick around, despite the fact that they probably would have helped him anyways. But the leprechaun had been desperate. Gadget couldn't really hold any of it against him.]

[That's a lot to process. Leprechauns asking mice for help. Banshees that were a threat to said leprechauns.]

I've never been. My family's from there. My dad never told those kind of stories about leprechauns and banshees.

...Did you say the Rangerplane?
