Re: (IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]
Spoiler:
A pause "If they ask to help we can take help. We not so proud as to say no. But I not going to be asking for help. They da could be trouble and vex we." Quote:
Her next words seem addressed to her comrades as well as Peter: "This world is called Yirth. Its on a list of Quantum Sargassos. It draws you in and then you can't get out. The conveyor is useless here. We should destroy it and then move on. The "Secret" is incompletely out on this world: the banestorm pulls people in, so they know about other worlds, and the echo-history. They don't know about homeline. We would like to keep it that way. Its almost impossible to leave this world, so some leaked secrets aren't the worst thing possible. They also have a system to assimilate modern people into their society, and they are paranoid about technology and social change: try to keep your head down. We're going to need to ditch our guns, even the concealed ones." "We need to get to Tedroy. That's where we can at least find friends. This is going to be hard though. I'm not trained for field-work."

Re: (IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]
Peter worries about the aliens and islanders... Torn that several groups seem like they could use his help, but who don't want to all come together.
Quote:
__________________________________________ Peter utters an "uh-huh" in acknowledgement while he scans the waterways and shores for any sign of the boat he saw... Peter wrestles with the idea that he can't help everyone as much as he'd like to... but that doesn't mean he's ready to give up. "Goliath always comes with me... I wonder if he gets the trailers first too..." "There's a ship that the storm brought that I saw in my visions, so there are some more people out there brought by the storm that may still need help... but I'm not sure where to look now... I think I should keep traveling along the beach to see if I can find them. There are some locals in the other direction scavenging the storm junk for hidden treasure."

Leon: "You should follow us. For Real. You're stuck. Parachronazoids get stuck here just like everyone else. But we've got to get out of here quick." Quote:
Quote:
(Ahh, I was enjoying the islander accent) "This is good. Now I can talk with funny people and there will be no misunderstanding me." Torzuchi and another Vutu suddenly run up the hill, away from the beach. Ann stops to watch as Peter works his magic. She has changed into a blue tunic and robe. The three are busy throwing things out of the conveyor, often what look like smashed electronics or mechanical gears. Ann: "What are you doing? Do you jump via Magic or via Psi? This... looks like magic. What world are you from?" The Rest of the Vutu show up. Chorniveebi asks Peter where Torzuchi ("The Girl you pulled out of the pod") went. And who the people in the "Strange Box" are.

Peter creates a Karana smoke fairy that looks a lot like Tinkerbell he gives the compulsive need to frolic about entertainingly. He has it fly up to the sensory limit to have a look for ships or anything interesting from above his current point of view. Quote:

"We have no injuries, fortunately." "Can we get the language of the bald people? And did they just pop out of pods? like seeds?" The fairy goes up high: the process of making it is very publicly observed. Peter sees the boat in a cove two beaches down. Quote:

He has the fairy look around a bit more to get a lay of the land from the elevated view and see if Ink Thur;s tent is visible... it's a long shot, but it can't hurt to look. Quote:

Re: (IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]
Quote:
How far off is the tent site? Peter wonders if he can grab Ink-Thur's attention with his Yaka Voice... can he project a word that isn't a command to take advantage of its magical 'volume'? "Ink-Thur!" Quote:
"Because she's young? let's hope not! I do okay! and it looks like there are more pods down the beach, by the way. " Peter's concerns run rampant.... The Vutu... What will they do without someone to help them bridge the cultural divide... The ship... Do they have any idea what they've gotten into yet? Will the Vutu try and take it to look for their vessel? The homeliners... Will Peter be able to leave here if he doesn't go with them? Ink Thur... does it do any good to find him if they can't leave? Peter will try and convince the Homeliners to come with him to go to the tent site and try and track where they may have gone. As long as it is increasing their distance from the storm, it should suit their purposes. He will describe the skerry with the Broken Sky to see if they have heard of it and try to talk them into giving Ink-Thur a lift if we can find him. EDIT: Peter will tell the islanders where the boat is... they may want to team up! Last edited by the_matrix_walker; 06-08-2024 at 01:02 PM. |

Re: (IC) Lost In Dreams [Peter]
Quote:
"They didn't say who they were, some kind of miracle worker security maybe? But they said they were turning the miracle worker I was with in to the 'ICOPS' for helping me, and they said I was a threat to homeline. I think because they thought I was lying about being able to travel to other worlds and thought I was a spy or something... Which I'm not! (Or I wouldn't be telling you this, obviously)" Quote:
It was mentioned that the Voice was exceptionally prominent to Peter's magic sense, and that Yaka users could detect it without his sense as some distance, so he's trying to take advantage of the peculiarity. (Much like manipulating other smoke with Karana, I'm trying to benefit from side effects...) Quote:
"I get the impression she doesn't like you much." Quote:
"I'm kind of the people's emissary to their gods and they've been waiting to hear what he's found out, so I'd like to get his report at least if we can't help him get where he belongs. He is bound to have lots of information on those worlds, and that could be valuable to you." |
