This is great!

[Morning, Vertiline. This is Eliot Post and he sounds excited. The term "deprived" can accurately sum up his material life up to this point - heavily censored books being an exception. So, suddenly having technology in his possession? It's Christmas! Without Cee's terrible fruitcake.]I've never had a cell phone before. Is this

[The Warrior has absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but he can give you the short spiel.]

We are in a world called 'Vertiline', brought here with the hopes that we will help the inhabitants to fight against the monsters attacking them.

[This guy...isn't freaking out over the loss of anything, but it never hurts to give a little extra information.]

If you require a weapon, there is an armory in the temple. Any magical abilities have been sealed, but there is a possibility that they may be returned.

[That's everything, right?]

[infernaldork]

They brought me here to fight?

[Wait. That sounds all wrong.]

They brought me here to fight?

[Oh God -- Mother, Uncle, Aunt, Cousin - whichever comes closest to the Christian concept.]

No, that's not right. You have the wrong twin. Fiona could help you fight! All I can do is play music.

[You'd think, in the name of sibling rivalry, Eliot would be smug that he was picked over his sister.

Not in this case. All he can think of is how much better a fighter she is.]

How does one social

[bellator_lucis]

[Oh, help. How does one deal with panic?]

I am not the one responsible for bringing you here.

[Quick, Warrior, say something helpful!]

Perhaps your presence here is a mistake.

[Smooth.]

+ overprotective father figure, go!

[agreatdeceiver]

Excuse you. Eliot is many things, but mistake is only occasionally one of them.

gee, thanks, dad

[infernaldork]

...I lol'd

[bellator_lucis]

[Lucifer uses Confuse! It's super effective!]

I beg your pardon?

that's why we're here!

[agreatdeceiver]

I was perfectly clear, was I not?

I love this game

[bellator_lucis]

[Well, yes...but the reasons why are not.]

If you admit that he is occasionally a mistake, and he believes that our hosts must have been mistaken in bringing him here, then why do you take offense at the suggestion?

:D

[agreatdeceiver]

Because he is my mistake. You, sir, are not of the proper privilege to imply it of him.

[LOOK ELIOT LOOK HE'S BEING PROTECTIVE ISN'T THIS WHAT DADS DO? DOES THAT MAKE HIM A GOOD DAD? PLEASE SAY YES?]

way to bat a thousand, dad

[infernaldork]

[YES, OF COURSE TELLING YOUR SON THAT HE WAS AN UNWANTED RESULT OF YOU FOOLING AROUND WITH A GODDESS IS A GREAT IDEA.]

hey he could use credit for trying. :|

[agreatdeceiver]

[WELL IT'S BETTER THAN LYING and didn't he promise never to do that?]

this is an "all or nothing, pay the shrink bills" sort of deal

[infernaldork]

[Yes, but it really helps if you stop editing out the important part of the truths!]

Re: :D

[bellator_lucis]

[...You're reminding him a lot of Jecht, except more polished. Odd.]

I see. Then I apologize.

[He's not exactly sure why he should be sorry, but apologizing seems easier than continuing this strange argument.]

[agreatdeceiver]

Hm, very well.

Eliot: Not a good teacher in this

[infernaldork]

[This is not so much panic as... finite distress. Eliot is not that hardy. He does not know why anyone would pick him.]

Who is?

[Maybe he can tell them this is all a -- ah-ha!]

Who can I talk to about fixing it?

[bellator_lucis]

I believe that you should talk to Eir, though there are others who may answer your questions. They have replied to questions asked using this device.
