[the video feed is on, but it's obvious by the angle that its owner didn't intend it to be. all you get is a lovely view of some fabric - the owner is walking with it in his hand, speaking to someone else]My lords? Your humble servant has arrived, just as you wished

...

Well out of all the introductions I've seen, this has to be one of the more creative ones!

[stilltheybleed]

[!!!]

So it does speak.

[jushinkan]

On occasion.

It has a rather nice video function too. Welcome to the city~.

[stilltheybleed]

Sound and motion as well. Truly a marvel worthy of gods.

Thank you. I am Tzekel-Kan, High Priest of El Dorado.

[sing_bluesilver]

Are you looking for gods?

[stilltheybleed]

Of course. They are the ones who summoned me here, after all.

[ voice ]

[sing_bluesilver]

[...]

Err... This place just likes kidnapping people and taking them from their paths or something and sticking them here to live or die or get eaten by the bad dogs and freeze and get eaten.

Welcome to Discedo?

[ voice ]

[stilltheybleed]

As I said, summoned here by the gods. Although I have never heard it referred to as Discedo.

[nomnomguts]

[Kind of... really amused.]

What's this now? Ah...

[Have a little brown-haired girl peering back.] Hello! Aren't you an interesting one?

[stilltheybleed]

[still not impressed] I suppose that could be said. Whether I am interesting or not does not matter at the moment.

[nomnomguts]

No? [Very Friendly Smile, but there's certainly something keenly predatory in that look.] Oh, you can never really be certain. After all, first impressions are terribly important, aren't they? Some people are simply quite worthless, right from the start. There's just no helping it-- so you see, interesting people are really to be cultivated whenever possible.

[stilltheybleed]

First impressions may be altered to suit one's goals. Whether they seem important or not is worthless - their true value must be discovered on one's own. [he huffs. boy does he know that to be true.]

[beastoftheseal]

Weeeell don't you sound like a pleasant guy!

[stilltheybleed]

To those who merit it, yes.

[beastoftheseal]

... I'm not sure I wanna know how you decide which ones do.

[stilltheybleed]

It's quite simple. Those who are faithful are deserving, and those who are not suffer.

[verily_ergo]

... Welcome to Discedo.

[stilltheybleed]

This does not even come close to a proper welcome, even for a lowly acolyte.

[verily_ergo]

Please, I'm no acolyte. Do you expect a fanfare into the afterlife? Which this isn't, since there seems to be some confusion.

[stilltheybleed]

This is indeed no afterlife, I have too much to complete before making my journey there. It is only a stop, although I must say that to be summoned here and then ignored is rather unsettling.
