Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

Well, nothing here has any more power than what's in the plants themselves. You won't see anything too exciting while they're sitting on a table.

I was seeing if I recognize them.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Aaah, well?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[atacarme]

[leans back after a moment]

A couple, but the others are foreign to me.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Where are you from, Tempest?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[atacarme]

. . . Carmarthen. The capital.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Of what nation?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[atacarme]

Nation . . . ?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Not Cygnus, nor Lepus. Maybe something more to the South? Ursa, Lynx?

Mm, but somehow, I think, none of this sounds familiar at all, does it?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[atacarme]

[shakes her head]

Not at all. There are no . . . nations? Where I am from. Or at least, that is not the word we use.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

That's OK, I thought about as much.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[atacarme]

[nods . . . ]

. . . if I may be a bit forward . . . what are you?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Aaah, it's so hard when foreigners ask that.


Mm, I'm Lacertan. There's no difference between "what" and "who" there, you know? And there's no difference between a human and the forest.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[atacarme]

[headtilt . . . ]

I have never heard of a Lacertan . . . you are not related to Elves, are you?
