Character Meet and Greet

Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications

"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

I. Exploring Main Street! Take a trip through a little town taken straight from 1890's America. Visit the shops, dine at the restaurants- but don't forget you are here on a mission. As an Apprentice, you will need to gather some supplies. A weapon, or tool for producing magic.

But we understand if that corn dog cart on Market Street is your first stop.

II. Apprentice Class 101! Practice your spell casting and weaponship on the open commons behind the Firehouse. Sparring, casting or just general confusion abound here. Try not to hit anything or...anyone, the paint on the infirmary is still drying.

III. Look out! A level 2 corroded monster has managed to get onto Main Street! Protect the citizens and defeat the cur, and please watch the damage, the paint is still wet!

IV. One Little Spark! Go ahead, show us the strength of your imagination and come up with your own scenarios. Just, stay out of the Corroded Lands...if possible.

"I can definitely agree with you about the surprising," he said with an emphatic series of slow nods as he spoke. "And the capacity for both, too, really."

Which makes him wonder what Eleanor would think of the giant chicken. Probably, he thinks, she'd just wonder how many chicken nuggets she could get out of it. Tahani would want to make some sort of high fashion out of its feathers. Chidi would just ... probably scream. As for Jason, who knew? He could never predict Jason. His predictions were always smarter than anything Jason ever truly did.

"As for the glitter, I don't know, that's pretty insidious stuff." He shrugged. "But, right, one coop."

Thinking back on the reconnaissance he'd done at his arrival, he stared off into the upper middle distance for a little while, pulling ideas together and breaking off bits of others, until he had something workable.

"I'll be back soon."

That said, he headed for Rivers of America, stopping only at the Emporium to get a sketchbook and a pencil, taking a loop around the island on the riverboat and sketching as he rode it for the second time, seeing the tiny, scrubby little island and the rafts which lined the shore with fresh eyes. Once he was through, he started tying as many rafts as he could together and attaching them to the riverboat. All together, they were simultaneously big enough to float a chicken across to the islands and, once dismantled again, material enough to build a dire chicken coop with: a coop which he had meticulously drawn and detailed. He then gathered a series of rafting poles, to use for propping up the rafts, and ropes to lash it all together, from the docks. The only other thing needed was a ladder, which he figured they could procure from the Emporium on the way back. Confident in his plan, he made his way back.

"Well, Doctor, I've got everything ready. We just need a ladder, and I know where to get that."

[smilingarmor]

Sylvando gasped himself, though his was one of mock shock. "Then we must correct that as soon as we're done here!", he said. "You simply can't miss it, darling, especially a flavor called 'rocky road'. It's the best one I've had so far!"

"And I imagine that would depend on if you had a way to keep it cold," he said. "I'm not certain if one of those devices that the ice cream shop had could be brought outdoors, but I imagine a container packed with enough ice and something to insulate it would work for a little while, at least." He honestly has no idea how freezers work, but he figures that ice could do the job just as well. Maybe?

"Are there actually rocks?" He was decidedly intrigued, and therefore moving his armload of whosits, whatsits, and thingamabobs toward the checkout counter. "You've definitely got me curious. And yes, there are little carts. At least, in my Neighborhood, there were. It shouldn't be too hard to find one here. They have the most amazing little umbrellas on top for shade, too." Grinning, he laid his purchases down on the counter, to the dumbfoundment of the poor clerk. "I'll take all of this, and ... OH! Do you have any paper clips?"

Thanks!

[amber_angel]

Kohaku sniffled looking up at the Devil with wide eyes. "An Angel," Kohaku muttered. Wasn't this punishment bad enough without being unrecognizable. Of course, in quick hindsight, being unrecognizable might have been Kohaku's only chance of getting out of this... Now the little Angel was utterly at the mercy of what was clearly a Devil in command of a great many spells.


Kohaku tried to stand. Well, to be fair, Kohaku tried to run away. Just barely managed standing.

Oh this is going to be FUN!

[amber_angel]

Kohaku's eyes overflowed with water. The small Angel took the offered cloth and applied it to those tears. A sympathetic ear was appreciated though what Kohaku really wanted was to be back home with Shuichiro and not be in trouble with God.

"God sent me here as a punishment for leaving Heaven and coming back to Earth without permission," Kohaku said, fighting with fresh tears. Kohaku was many things, and one of them was that Kohaku was painfully honest.

heh heh heh

[situational_ethics]

"........ If that's your opener, you need work," he said, flatly and unimpressed.

[bigbadrose]

A small giggle. "Trust me, no one even usually gets that far. No to be mopey, it's just I only evar had one friend who could, yeah?"

She bit her bottom lip but beamed at the compliment. "Oh thank you!!! Ta. When did you learn flute?"

[bigbadrose]

"Cool!! First thing we do then, is figure out how to break in."

Yeah, Rose knew a lot about being a lonely ghost now.

"Rose, Rose Tyler," she offered a handshake right back.

[bigbadrose]

"Yeah," Rose sniffled, but calmed down, gratefully using the handkerchief, with mild amusement at the pattern and held both hands on his. "Thanks... so long as you let that home be with the Doctor, not my parents," she poked her tongue out the side, half-teasing, but definitely ready to fight like a wildcat if anyone tried to decide otherwise for her.

Re: (The Great) Sylvando | Dragon Quest XI

[mal_contented]

She had two apples ready, one in either hand. She made a strong throw with her off hand, deliberately aiming high to trick the beast into following the motion so that it was caught off guard when the second one hit it, right in the eye. "Guess I'm the apple of your eye, huh?" she smirked, grabbing two more apples rapidly, and realizing that she was... almost out of them. Well that was less than ideal.

[idiotic_bard]

He nodded. "Yeah. And she's the best. But she said it is safer if she holds onto most of the money, and keeps some of it as a fee for being responsible for it. she's wonderful like that. She taught me how to haggle and everything."

[bigbadrose]

"What really?!" she was shocked, but excited at the same time. This really was looking like she was supposed to be here.

Rose shrugged about the cavewomen matriarchs. "It was probably the forging peace thing, yeah? Marriage is that happens, so they probably thought I was sent there for that? I dunno." She pushed back her hair with one hand and giggled at the Emperor's new clothes joke.

"Just a bit, yeah. And oh, blimey, all the time." altering the timeline, yup yup yup. "Created one paradox by... accidentally on purpose trying to save my Da'? I've been really careful ever since. Annnnd right now... where I was... I can't change the timeline, I'm just trying to get back to my birth universe and dimension... or I was. But I'm just... fighting the darkness. So...."

[bigbadrose]

Side glance. "What's an Architect?" Rose was with him on the magic isn't a thing, but someone who knew about dimensions? Actual help at last. "I mean, I know the human building kind," face palm. "But if you're one o' those, don't even pretend to be, I'll eat my hat." She wasn't wearing a hat, thus the point.

[bigbadrose]

"Heeeeeeey," Rose instantly crouched down giving the tiny person a hug. "Don't cry! It'll be okay. My name's Rose Tyler, what's yours?"

[amber_angel]

Kohaku curled into those warm arms. "I'm Kohaku," the small Angel said in an adorable little voice.

[bigbadrose]

"What???" Rose was clearly baffled, as she washed her hands, and tried to fix her makeup. "Who told you that?"

[smilingarmor]

"Interesting," Sylvando said. "Especially the mix of something potentially so beautiful amidst something so frightening. Though I am rather glad you chose that aspect rather than any of the bits that drove the man to madness. Until we know better how far the magic in this world extends, best not to take too many chances with such things."

"And on another note I've got to say, I'm surprised this hasn't dissolved by now," he said, gingerly poking the dead cat monster with the toe of his shoe. "Back home the monsters at least have the courtesy of vanishing into smoke when defeated."

Rose, standing in line behind him, just casually karate chopped his shoulder -- ineffectually. mind, Rose doesn't know a single thing of martial arts -- and glared balefully. "Don't be such an asshole!"

She forgot the location, and got angry glares from people over the language.

[bigbadrose]

Rose smiled softly and gently pat her head. "Nice to meet you Kohaku! I guess you've never really traveled before, yeah?"

[amber_angel]

Kohaku sniffled. "Of course I have. I've been to Earth and the Bridge plenty of times. And on Earth I've been to the park and the cigarette shop, an amusement park, and back and forth between Shuichiro's house and the hospital."

[smilingarmor]

"Well, let's just say that I'm no stranger to excitement myself, huh?", Sylvando said with a bit of a wink. "Or to a life on the road. It's certainly not for everyone, but I can tell it suits you quite well, however much of your adventures are a bit beyond even the Great Sylvando." Or beyond anyone from Erdrea, he suspected.

"Some time ago," he said. "As a performer, it pays to be a man of many skills. I can play, dance, juggle, perform stage magic, do acrobatics, and a number of other things. I do hope you get a chance to see me perform some day; I'm sure you'd love it."

[smilingarmor]

"Carts, huh?" Sylvando said, obviously intrigued. Even the idea of freezers was new to him, so the thought that they could be made somewhat portable was even more fascinating. "And with umbrellas for shade too? So many clever devices around here!"

"And no, no real rocks," he said. "That wouldn't be very tasty at all. Instead it's chocolate with nuts and teeny, tiny bits of marshmallow and it's quite deliciously decadent."

"Oh, and I don't think this is the sort of place that sells paperclips," he pointed out hoping to allow the flustered clerk a moment to gather themselves. "Though I don't think you'll really need any to throw a party anyway."

[bigbadrose]

"Those sound fun!" Except the cigarette shop, what even? "Been to Earth, so where are you from initially, yeah?"

[amber_angel]

Wasn't that obvious? "Heaven..." Kohaku said, confused that it wasn't obvious.

[strangeandunusual]

"You're pretty cool, Rose," Lydia admits, smiling. "The house is next to the railroad station, across from that bar, you know, the one with the really neat creepy moss growing off the railings?"

She makes the appropriate hand gestures for Spanish moss - or at least, whatever she figures they look like.

"But it's surrounded by a great big, tall iron fence, and the fence is locked. It doesn't have the right kind of bars to climb."
