Ah...

[What's the most delicate way to put this?]

In my world... there never were any real centaurs? At least, I don't think so. They- you are only in stories. Although, maybe they aren't just stories? Maybe there really were centaurs way long ago.

[Yeesh. This is tough to figure out, even with Chie being perfectly willing to accept the existence of multiple worlds.]

There's definitely no centaurs in Japan. I'd know, that's where I'm from, too. There's only humans, just like me, it's not like this place at all. There's so many different kinds of people here, it's amazing!

[skjalf]

( Distant past? It is plain that Elizabeth does not yet comprehend what is actually happening. Not yet. )

I had thought this a dream. ( She responds slowly, as her head starts to hurt. Such a thing as he is suggesting is impossible. It must be. ) You are right; no matter if this be but a dream or not, it truly cannot matter.

I am glad to meet you, regardless, Connor. ( She smiles up at him for a moment, and then cranes her head. )

Might you help me up? I have never stood upon the roof of any building before.

( That view must be a thousand times more spectacular than the one she'd had from her window at court. )

[kyosu]

Well...

[ THE MAPO TOFFU FOR EXAMPLE ]

There are some shrines...the Ryuudou Temple...but otherwise Fuyuki is very much a sleepy town.

[ ...after a fashion, of course. ]

[gallopingarcher]

But centaurs are human just like everyone else! Just because we're built differently than most humans!

[This is... a slight sore spot, though she sounds more scandalized than actually insulted.]

But...that's so strange. So everyone looks just like you? Is that what you mean?

[conservationist]

Well, as a time traveler from the future, it's only fair that I give you information that might save your life.

So...

[Ahem.]

Don't see "Battleship".

[thelightofdraenor]

[That comment fits right in with all the other things she's heard the Forsaken say, and it's enough to make the young woman smile faintly.]

Well, if your religion had kept your people alive for twenty thousand years, you'd probably be attached to it too, right?

[keystaff]

I'm not really....a fighter either.

[She's not sure how much to say to that question. Whether to admit about her magic and the Clow cards or to keep quiet for the time being. Kero isn't here to help either. And she's only just met him.]

I'm not sure how I'd be able to help, but I'd want to try. I couldn't just stand and let others get hurt trying to protect me.

[enjoymyatelier]

[ALL OF HIS IDEAS ARE Gahahaha i can't type that with a straight face]

The chicken is fantastic, but if I'm going to be giving recommendations, I'd say that I really prefer the duck. It's got some sort of glaze on it that makes it positively exquisite and really enhances the flavor.

[and it's still kind of considered poultry!]

haha the life of typemoon

[gandere]

That you will. [ ...

Their conversation had been brief, but it was already coming to a close. All she had to do was finish their parting with a non-committal goodbye, but it doesn't come out of her lips.

Damn it. The tension was back in her chest as something there aches terribly. Must be that stupid shard, of course it's that stupid shard. ]

[tamamoe]

[ You could say his ideas are rather fowl. ]

...they have duck? [ Score ]

[belligerents]

[She's not expecting the sudden movement, and it's a lot harder for her to run with a him leg, even with the shoddy brace she has, but Raven won't point that out. Raven starts to follow behind her, a little shocked she somehow is in this position, but the woman while tough seems willing to help at least. It's not what she's expecting especially given how things are developing with the Grounders back home, something this woman definitely resembles.

But for once it's perhaps good she didn't judge her. Especially if they get meat out of it. Plus learning from her means Raven can try and hunt after this. It seems a useful skill here which is something she needs now that technology is mostly moot. So she tries to keep up as well as she can, trying to see the marks and tracks that the other woman is pointing out.]

How do you know it's the boar?

[lyorning]

[he shrugs] I have not made a study of the East, so I couldn't say.

[akweks]

[That sounds about right for saints, not that Connor has any intimate knowledge of them. The French Jesuits were North in Kahnawake, and the English did not put much stock in saints.]

Miniature? He must have lived a long time ago.

[akweks]

[D&D???? Connor decides that maybe this man is a little unhinged. He's speaking half gibberish.]

I grew up in a forest. Translating climbing trees to buildings is very simple.

[akweks]

If it is a dream, it still has meaning. That is the nature of dreams; they tell us what our spirits want.

[He acquiesces to her request, though, climbing down off the dolmen and back down the wall to the ground. He turns his back to her, indicating that she ought to just climb on -- which is maybe not what she meant, but hey?]

[kyosu]

[ Sakura doesn't want it to end, either, but she feels like she's been taking time Rin could be using on something else. Something important, even.

How does one end a conversation anyway? There's just an awful amount of fidgeting afterwards. ]

Well then...I guess I'll wait for Emiya-kun. He's- he was also brought to the Unseelie side, right?

[ Welp that came out as a question in a way she didn't meant to. Pls ignore her, Rin. ]

[conservationist]

[That doesn't sound like how a totally normal grade schooler would answer that question, but he's not going to pry.]

Nobody is interested in us, only what we're carrying. ... whatever that is. So they can get hurt protecting those "shards" all they want, as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't seem like any of my business until they make it my business.

Am I wrong?

[shewasvery]

She's trying very hard not to just start laughing at him. Boys and their toys... "Oh, there's a sudoku game—something to pass the time on the Tube. A little music—Baroque chamber music, if you must know—and, yes, some videos and photos. And sometimes I do actually use it to call people." She smiles. "It's convenient, really, to have so much in one's pocket. Though I find it makes some people lazy thinkers."

Victoria embraces modern technology, but she can be a bit old-fashioned in her attitude towards it sometimes.

[hersir]

[His heart stops for that moment, his breath stills and all he can hear is the silence of the woodland surrounding them, all he can do is look upon her face. Normally he's one to remain completely composed, was able to handle objectives at a moments notice but this takes away his moment to focus on anything else but her. The shield in his hand, the axe, they immediately drop to the ground with a thud as soon as familiarity seeps in, rushing over him like a fever. Seeing her here, knowing its her it's like an illusion of first, hard to believe, hard to process. Since his arrival here he has not gone a day without thinking of her, thinking of his family and wishing he could return to them and assure their safety after everything that happened, everything that had come to pass. His fists clench at his side tightly, his eyes close for a moment then open to see her still standing there and he knows its not a dream. His heart suddenly races within his chest, his breath quickly picks back up once more and is shallow from his lips. It is her and she is no longer still, she is running.

She is running at him.

Ragnar Lothbrok watches her weapons drop to the ground, watches her approach him and he reacts, bringing up his hands to clasp around her waist the moment that she hits him and they fall back to the forest floor. It doesn't hurt, not in the least, only leaves him without a breath for a split second before she is punching him and he exhales sharply with a laugh, tilting his head back against the ground and wincing slightly before looking back at her, his legs shifting to intwine with her own.]

I made you lose nothing. [Came the teasing reply as he smirked, shifting his body, throwing his weight to the side to try to catch her off balance and knock her onto her side. With any success he'll try to pin her on her back, reaching for her attacking hands with the same look upon his face as he normally did when they got into these little tussles, seemingly violent to watching eyes but it was day to day for them, normal and by the gods she was here, she was real.] How was I supposed to know you were hunting?

8(!!!!!

[idealistic]

[ wow genis just because he has better fashion sense than you doesn't mean you have to diss him like this.

this is all too familiar to Lloyd and it nearly makes him fall back into routine. keyword being nearly, as before he can get back to the jokes and smiles, he sobers up. he hesitates for a moment, thinking on something, before shaking his head. ]

...No. It's just been me and Emil for a while, as far as I know. [ it's not exactly a lie. he nearly mentions that Zelos was here up until a few months ago, but that's a topic that should be saved for later, when Genis has a better idea of what's going on. it doesn't stop him from lifting his hand to stop right below his chest: to Genis it may seem like a simple movement, but the spot where his fingers rest is right above where Zelos's shard hangs safely around his neck.

yeah, that topic is definitely something that should be saved for later. ]

[fiamme]

[Trigger happy. That's not changed much at the very least. Being careful with what she says is new enough to her that she struggles, has to pause to consider every turn of phrase and word with a level care she's not used to. Trying to coax information out of Jason Todd can be like drawing teeth, she knows. Unless he's being cocky.

(That, in particular, he has in common with Roy, she thinks.)

She hmmm's. How many times has she picked Jason up and flown him to safety? He remembers none of that. It leaves a sad, bitter taste in her mouth. Her mood fluctuates quicker than she can keep up with; of all people, she hadn't prepared herself for Jason forgetting her. She had prepared for it being the other way round. ]

I can tell you what it is that I remember about you, Jason Todd. But I think that you will not believe me.

[Because she has no proof. She has no red mask, nothing of Jason's to offer. ]

But please believe me when I say that I am a friend.

[Roy is much better at the friendship speeches. ]

[fiamme]

A leader, but not native to here. That they have freely taken so many of us is an insult.

Did they bring you here without your comrades, Wedge Antilles?

[sfoils]

Yeah, I'm the only one here. Can't say if that's a good thing yet.

/loves on back! I've missed rping with yooooou~~~

[en_taro_adun]

[Tassadar was far from unused to seeing other aliens around him, although the sheer amount of terran individuals just within this facility was more than slightly unnerving even for a protoss like him.

The subtle shift of scent on the air drew Tassadar's attention towards what appeared to be, what the terran would call, another alien such as himself. He had never seen such a race before, and the soft glow of his eyes seemed intent as he studied the individual and the creature walking beside it. His eyes momentarily fixated on the creature, Tassadar's mind breathing a subtle shift of memory of the bengalaas of Aiur, before it fixated back on the alien.]

If by force, then indeed I have.

[ooc: Sorry for the delay, bb! I had a whole day class for teaching yesterday and my bff over after that for the rest of the night.]

[powercharge]

[What she's saying catches Chie off guard. She has a point, but it's one that she's never so much as considered before.]

Well... it doesn't matter what you are, does it? You're a person! And you should be treated like anyone else.

[As usual, she goes with what her gut tells her is the right thing to say.]

Everyone's unique, they aren't all brown-haired girls wearing green jackets or anything! We've just all got... um... two legs, like mine, but not exactly the same. Just similar.
