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!]

Not that I know of... [He'll later find out he's wrong]

It's just that I met one of your kind in another world once, though I imagine that sounds strange.

[timewalking]

I suppose I might be one of the only ones that doesn't sound odd to.

[He considers the stranger, watching him carefully for a moment, and then he inches closer, cautiously.]

I was in a place much like this, before, pulled from my home world. I was not eager to see I had been plucked again.

[lord_wizard]

Actually, you aren't the only one. I was in a similar situation before I arrived here, along with a few others here. Not that I've had opportunity to interview the whole of the fleet on the matter.

Where were you before this?

[timewalking]

Exsilium.

[He sighs, a long-suffering sigh, not because he's been bounced around the mutiverse, but because he hates explaining things to people.

But he doesn't lie when he is asked.]

I was told it was Earth, but a bit of a...war-ravaged dystopian future version. There was also a moon in there somewhere that we lived on briefly. It was quite an odd place. I nearly died several times and was kidnapped for experiments by...what were they called? The United Earth? Some rubbish to that effect.

I do hope this place isn't as aggressive as the last.

[He's also a Timewalker, so he's not stranger to the whole "time travel and alternate universes" thing, he just tended to stay with alternated universes on Azeroth and Draenor.]

[lord_wizard]

[The same place Fenris mentioned, then. How curious.]

It seems rather sedate so far, though perhaps that's the calm before the storm. I'm honestly holding a similar hope. The world I arrived from was no more kind than yours, by the sound of things.

[timewalking]

...I see.

[He wars with politeness and the fact that he dislikes humans for a moment, before tilting his head a bit.]

My name is Kirian Nilhandril.

[We'll leave out the "Lord" bit for now- he married into nobility, anyway. The thought of Varaelian beings a stab of longing and loneliness with it. Much as Kirian would profess he was an unkind man, he desperately missed the medic.

Odd, how he took comfort in knowing that Varaelian would be waiting for him when he returned.]

Who did you know, from my world?

[lord_wizard]

I am Felix Harrowgate. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kirian.

[He smiles a moment in bittersweet remembrance. Her time there was not all that long, but he regarded her very highly]

She went by Lady Liadrin. It seems like ages ago that I knew her however. During the first year or so of my stay.

[timewalking]

Ah, Lady Liadrin, I see...

[Kirian made a face, almost as if he was unsure if he ought to smile or frown. In the end, he settled on a frown.]

I assume you are not from Azeroth, in that case.

[lord_wizard]

[Well, at least the frown is consistent. Felix pretends not to notice either way.]

No. I assume my question would have been self-evident were that the case.

[timewalking]

Mostly. There are...differences, in the timelines of Azeroth.

[He shrugs softly.]

[lord_wizard]

There seems to be in most places. I cannot speak for my own world, but I've met many people from different variations on the same world.

[He raises a brow slightly as a thought occurs to him]

Do your people not exist in some timelines?

[timewalking]

I'm certain, in some, we're still High Elves, or perhaps we never left Kalimdor. Perhaps in another the Highborne never fell to ruin and Zin-Azshari is still a thriving city, who can tell?

[He shrugs softly. He can offer more explanation than that, but. Effort.]

[lord_wizard]

[Yeah, it's definitely true that most of that went over his head. But, hey, he's known more succinct people than this guy]

I gather this has, ah, something to do with how you came to be dependence on magic?

[timewalking]

Ah, I see you know that much.

[Liadrin was a painfully good and decent woman, was she? Kirian feels bitter already.]

That was largely due to living in such close proximity to The Sunwell. It was...hm. If there was a holy site for us elves, that would be it.

[lord_wizard]

[He nods] She mentioned the place, yes. I'm sorry I could not have learned more from her. Her magic was quite intriguing.

[With a slightly hopeful note] You wouldn't happen to be of a similar discipline, would you?
