mingle a little Mor tonight

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Sure!
Action: The wonderful world of Mor, nearby way-stations, and ships!
When: The first week or so of arrival

[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

{A}[ Asteffiel had dealt with all this fairly well. Okay, watch the boxes to read things, and maybe he failed the test once or twice because his memory isn't the best.

He would be more worried about that whole looks-like-lava thing, but it's not like he needs to to go near....

But the robot is protesting the floating thing that looks a bit like Asteffiel took his pants off and draped them over something in an attempt to make it look like a shrub.

It is not weird, it's cute.

[ The robot obviously disagrees that the Shadow Fiend is cute, or normal, and isn't letting the minion follow Asteffiel. ]

{b}[ Minion dealt with - either Asteffiel leaving it behind, or someone helping him get rid of it, Asteffiel has moved on to get that new collar thing and everything is still fine, right??

Until he tests that collar's visual thing, everything is fine. Then it is most definitely not.

And then nothing is okay.

No no no no no! [ HE IS NOT A HUMAN. And he looks vaguely like this guy, only with more patchy stubble. because why not ]

[Robin has been around for a while, clicking his little modulator on and off, looking at everyone... and of course he notices the plant guy! he notices that he looks very human once he adjusts his own modulator, and then... ah, notices that he seems to be dealing with this very poorly.

so sure, he'll walk over to him. see what the potential tantrum is all about.]


Careful there, friend. What's the problem?

I'm not a human! [ Kinda wailing it.

He's from a world that seems a bit like the pictures they had! Why were Sylvari weird?

He wants to cover his face to make it all go away, but that means putting the not-his-hands up to his face.

Ah... There, there.

[he... pats his shoulder. it's a little hard to tell if it's out of genuine sympathy or if he just thinks this whole thing is funny.]

You aren't human. It's just a disguise.

[ Congrats on patting a tree. Or, well, that's probably what it feels like. ]

But there were no butterflies! And you're supposed to ask first!

[ .... the butterflies have a point, honest. ]

birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ he is so goddamn suspicious)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-12 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[he pats that tree with minimal incidence. it's weird, yeah. but hey. being a fleshy meatsack seems weird to this guy, so who is he to judge?]

I understand. It was very rude. But here--there's a way to make it look like you're normal again. To you, at least. Here.

[he'll reach out and... click his modulator off?]
innercactus: (14 The Cactus Talked To Me)

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-13 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
....?

[ ???????? what did he do.

He's how he should look. Okay that's weird.

Stunned silence is better than distressed silence, right?

birdsbirdsbirds: (♠ if quizzes are quizzical what's a test)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-13 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[...okay, well, at least he's not freaking out anymore.]

Let's... break this down into some basic steps. What do you know about the modulator?
innercactus: (Default)

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-13 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
If we want to leave the not-volcano, we need to have it. Because...

[ He has to think here for a moment. Exactly why was it again? ]

They are used to "historical" things.

[ And here is his objection- ]

But it looks like home, and Sylvari aren't strange there! [ There just.. wasn't any Norn, Charr, or Asura. A human area, clearly. ]
birdsbirdsbirds: (♠ nel put your pants back on)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-13 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[okay, using context clues... he's gonna guess that plant-guy here is a Sylvari...]

Sylvari are strange here, that's the thing. This planet has only ever had humans in it.

So if they see someone who looks really different from them, like a monster, or an elf, or something like you... They're going to be so astonished that they might get scared, and that would be bad.
innercactus: (07 Hiding Is An Option)

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-13 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This... sort of makes sense. Asteffiel knows how the Asura reacted when they first found Sylvari, and shifts awkwardly from foot to foot. ]

... They should be more curious.

[ Sulking a little. ]
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ our lord and savior)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-15 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, they should. But we can't really help that.

[THERE, THERE, little plant man.]

But you know you're not human, and that's what counts. Right?
innercactus: (Default)

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-16 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmmm... [ Asteffiel stares at his hands some more, then sighs. ]

If it doesn't surprise me, I think so? ... It can be like wearing a very big mask.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ just a humble storyteller)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-16 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, or a costume. Here, go ahead and turn it back on.

[he needs to make sure that Asteffiel can actually operate this thing himself. :|]
innercactus: (14 The Cactus Talked To Me)

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-16 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ He turned it on once before, wow rude!

... It's over here right-

... he totally jumped a little when he saw human-costume again.
]

... It's the lack of butterflies. [ Complaining child once more! ]
birdsbirdsbirds: (♦ in case his username wasn't clear)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-16 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
What is with the butterflies? Please explain this to me.

[would Asteffiel be bothered if Robin kind of... draped on his shoulder? because he might be draping an arm over his shoulder. mostly because he's lazy. standing, ugh...]

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-16 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Asteffiel doesn't mind - because what is personal space? This does make it a little less easy to talk facing someone though. ]

Mesmer illusions have butterflies! They're small and purple, and you can see them before any change happens. Or after they break a clone or illusion, there is a bunch of butterflies for a bit.
birdsbirdsbirds: (BROW ♠ or we could not do that)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-17 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. That would make it odd, then, that you don't see any when the mask goes up...

[he nods a little.]

But I take it that's magic? And this seems to be more like science.
innercactus: (02 Super Serious About Cacti)

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-17 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Mesmer magic, yes. They can take a sword, and let go, and it shoots lasers!

[ The way he sort of tries to hold his arms might indicate a really big sword or one of those over the head/shoulder ways of fighting. ]

... I think there are Asura hiding everywhere testing new things.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ ha ha i am totally not a psychopath)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-17 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...Your world sounds like a very strange one, Asteffiel.

[he will... politely stop draping, though.]
innercactus: (02 Super Serious About Cacti)

[personal profile] innercactus 2015-03-18 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yay now he can face him and its easier to talk. ]

The strange worlds are the ones with only humans. [ Very very seriously. ]
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ onto the next bad habit)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-18 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[how serious! Robin looks a little surprised, but smirks and nods in agreement.]

You're right. Those are stranger.
