VERTILINE [ 1 ]

Jan 20, 2011 18:42

Hello? Hellooooo?

[A fitting way to begin a post on ArtichokeNet. It's amazing Lily even found the right buttons. There's a whoosh of air when Lily shakes the communicator. That's obviously going to help! One can hear sniffles in the background. Lily just finished crying with joy (for now).]

Um, is anybody there? My name is Lily. [… Not Unit 67. ( Read more... )

sure is awesome around here, intro, the dog days are over, oh no

[The Warrior is out of his pod as soon as he hears this post. Chronic Hero Syndrome go! And after hearing about the creature in the fog from Zack, he's doubly reluctant to walk away from anyone in need of help.

His voice is calm, though.]

This is a world called Vertiline. We have been brought here in the hopes that we can defend the local inhabitants from the monsters that are attacking them. If you see fog, stay away from it. Dangerous creatures lurk within it.

The creature that is following you is called a capybara. They have been provided to us as pack animals, and they are not dangerous.

[The other stuff can wait.]

What do you look like, Lily?

[The Warrior is coming to find you.]

[WOAH A RESPONSE]

Monsters? Oh. ... Monsters. Okay.

[Right. This is so a dream. Still, Lily's pretty wary about giving out her physical description. It reeks of a bad idea. She quickly looks back at the capybara. It's fucking adorable.]

What do you look like? [Lily asks as she pulls herself up in a nearby tree. Weird - it seems more difficult than it should be. Probably her imagination.] Because. You know. I guess.

[He doesn't, actually. Before he came here there was his side and the other side and it was pretty clear who was fighting for whom. But even if he doesn't understand the reason for the caution, he has to approve of its presence. Caution is good.]

I am wearing blue armor. You will see me coming.

[Because it is shiny and shows up well against the forest green. He's searching along the edge of the tree near the pods, hoping that Lily hasn't gone too far in.]

[Oh, she SEES that armor. It's so shiny. It reminds her of the machines back home.

Can she even call that awful place home?

Whatever. Bottom line, this guy doesn't look like a threat. At all. Even with his shiny metal stuff (armor?), she can easily take him down if she has to (or so she thinks). Lily drops out of a tree a little ways away and approaches with extreme caution.]

... Hi.

[Hhh a child what]

You are in a place called, ah... Vertiline I believe they called it.

And the animal is a Capybara.

lilyground January 21 2011, 00:15:19 UTC

Vertiline. Okay.

[What a stupid name.]

Who is this?

missmimmi January 21 2011, 00:18:29 UTC

My name is Mimmi Kopanski. It is very nice to meet you.

lilyground January 21 2011, 00:27:06 UTC

Yeah. Same.

[Time to stop drinking in the scenery and get some information.

The flowers are so pretty, though...]

How'd I get outside? [...] I'm outside, right? This is the outside. Yeah?

[What the hell? A little girl? Seriously? They're recruiting children into this fight now?]

Don't worry 'bout da rat girliemon. It ain't gonna hurt jah.

What?

[Lily hasn't had much experience with accents.]

pimp_hat January 21 2011, 00:23:26 UTC

[FACEPALM. Fucking Loa this is the third time!

Alright, just speak slowly for her.]

Da rat ain't gonna hurt jah girliemon.

lilyground January 21 2011, 00:25:33 UTC

Who's Jah?

[OH. Oh. Wait. No.]

Oh. Wait. Me. [...] My name is Lily, though.

[Eliot has only been here a few hours, but he has seen a lot of the capybaras and assumes that is what she is talking about.]

It's called a capybara. Don't worry, it's a vegetarian and won't try to eat you.

[Unless you are a vegetable. Huh. He didn't think of that one.]

lilyground January 21 2011, 01:02:23 UTC

What's a vegetarian?

infernaldork January 21 2011, 01:05:47 UTC

[Encyclopaedic knowledge = get!]

That means it only eats plants and not little girls.

[Which is what he assumes you are.]

It's from the Latin word "vegetus" - that means lively.

lilyground January 21 2011, 01:07:32 UTC

... Whaaat's Latin?

[The voice that comes over the com has the sniffles too, but not from any source of joy. Sleeping in the rain turned out to be not all that great of an idea. Now she's paying for it.

She's so distracted by the voice of a lost child she forgets to set her com to text.]

Are you aright!?

[ audio / english ] lilyground January 21 2011, 22:05:46 UTC

... What?

[Text] dovewithadream January 22 2011, 00:17:50 UTC

[Huh? Her phone thing is still on audio. Well, that was stupid of her. She turns the com to text and types in her message.]

Are you alright?

[ text ] lilyground January 22 2011, 01:07:24 UTC

[WORDS OH GOD WHAT DOES SHE DO??]

yes
