SCENARIOS

01. Arrival

You have been sitting and staring at the sign above you for some time now, lost in a blur of swirling questions that seems to start with how you ended up there; in a place (and time, maybe) that you know you weren't an hour earlier. Or maybe you're an old hand at this by now and you've figured out that this is simply another stop that the multiverse bus has made. So why not get off and look around a little?

At any rate, the sign points you towards the direction of a place called "Gazin", which looks like a decent-sized town from where you stand. There has to be someone who can explain.

02. Around Town

So, you've settled in. Well, mostly. At least you know where things are without taking too many wrong turns and ending up in the less desirable areas of town. But now you can go about your day. Visit the market, check out the local shops or have a drink with a new friend at one of several inns.

03. Exploring

You've heard people talk about some pretty interesting places and now you're itching to get out and find them. Be careful though, there are creatures and monsters out there that will be pretty interested in meeting you and may wish to have you for its next meal. Better take someone along. And maybe some weapons, too. Make sure one is made of silver.

04. Monsters

So, you managed to find that location you were looking for. Good for you! Only.. it seems you've also found one of the native creatures to the area and you now face to face with it. Um. Good luck! We'll see you when you get back!

Hopefully.

05. Celebration

It won't take long for you to figure out that people of Gazin are, all in all, pretty happy people. It shows, too, when a seemingly quiet evening suddenly bursts into a random, impromptu party to celebrate whatever good fortune has touched a person. Name Days, good harvests, betrothals, weddings, or just life in general.

Sing, dance, drink and be happy, too!

06. Wild Card!

"Perhaps they'll spontaneously stop." Isa looked at her cup again with a faint look of displeasure and poured it out on her far side before tossing it away. This could all be caused by magic, yes, but she had heard of some compounds that rendered one without their free will.

"It's better than the alternative. There are worse greetings to a new place." Without anything to fill her hands, she propped her palms on her pommels and propped a boot on the wall. They all looked almost genuinely happy and that was something to marvel at as well. Normally there were at least 3 dissatisfied faces, over something. Perhaps she was just looking in the wrong places to set her mind at ease.

"And the music is tolerable." The faint slant of her lips suggested it was more than tolerable, but private joys were private for a reason, to her way of thinking.

"Perhaps? " He's not sure. His smooth (British sounding) voice was low and rumbly, and filled, in this case, with doubt. These people are crazy, he though.

"I suppose so." He offered her his small flask, a gift from a friend back home that was getting some use, here. "Here, purified water. Nothing from here."

The comment on the music made him look askance at her. "Its... something, anyway."

[arrowsandherbs]

Isa shrugged. "I haven't been here long enough to know how deeply into the night these people might celebrate. How conservate they might be." Anything was possible here, right? The rules hadn't been set yet, hadn't been figured out.

Murmuring a soft thanks, Isa took the flask, sniffing it softly before knocking back a shallow sip. Refreshing. "I wish I'd had the foresight to bring my own." Handing the flask back with a small smile, Isa looked him up and down.

"I've heard worse. I'm Isa," she offered with a faint tilt of her head. "New, much like I assume you are."

[tusktough]

"True that. they remind me of a place I visited once called Darktow. Big partiers, they." Or Humperduke or that matter. A much better place.

"I was lucky it was one me when I came through."

He grinned at her. "I'm Fjord. Nice to meet you, Isa."

He nodded again. "I am. Right off of the evening tide."

[arrowsandherbs]

'True that' made Isa smirk. What strange words to agree with. She was using that word a lot today and it seemed that wasn't going to stop.

"Fjord," she echoed with a nod, smirk curling almost into a real smile. "A pleasure to meet you as well. I'm afraid I didn't see what brought me here; I hit the forest floor harder than I thought one might, not that traveling like this is something I'm.. accustomed to."

She couldn't help but rub the side of her head, the shifting of it all flashing a glimpse of the tips of her ears before she shifted it all back to hide it.

"Normally it's on horseback. Of my own choice. You mention tides - are you accustomed to the water?" Sayings had their own homes and Isa payed attention.
