001: GROUP INTRODUCTIONS

[71lines]

Okay, so everything's settled down a bit and people have stopped trickling in. Great. What a situation we're in, right? We can't even wander too far away or we're teleported right back to the group.

[She's definitely going to be testing those boundaries later.]

Anyhow, I'm willing to accept that this probably isn't a Rig mission now. Wherever we are, it's not the same world. The level of technology isn't too high either, but we know someone out there has a radio transmitter or else the big yellow guy wouldn't keep playing songs at us.

So, since we're stuck together for the foreseeable future, it's probably time we settle in and get to know one another. Names, skillsets, dreams, etc. You know, important things. Don't hold back, we're probably going to need to know each other pretty well if we're going to survive here.

Huh.

Must be a different kinda vampire-werewolf thing then we have back home then.

[headcheerbleeder]

No, we still have the stupid vampires versus werewolves drama. Just some of us can think for ourselves instead of judging books by their cover.

[ragefeathers]

It's not my fault y'all back home are walking avatars of entropy and shit.

[ Mackenzie mutters. More of her Oklahoma twang comes out with that "y'all." ]

[headcheerbleeder]

I don’t know what that means. I didn’t even see Avatar.

[ragefeathers]

No, see, the spiritual embodiment of entropy went crazy and everything that touches it is corrupt so vampires, which are both and dead and living, are like... trapped in place by the webs of the Weaver, but also since they're dead they also like, are Wyrm-tainted and stuff.

Nothing against you as a person though since you're like. Different universe and shit.

[ This makes sense to Mackenzie. ]

[headcheerbleeder]

Well, I should hope you’re not going to hold…whatever all that is against me.

[Caroline can’t judge that much. She recently had to deal with a resurrected millennia-old witch who wanted to eliminate all vampires by murdering the very children she cursed to vampirism. The magical underworld is fucking wild.]

I’m a good vampire, and I take that really seriously, so please. Keep your mind open and don’t just call me a leech.

[ragefeathers]

Yeah, yeah. It's just fuckin' like. Normal for me. I'll do my best. That kinda word is just automatic for me. Aww

[ A low sound of frustration. ]

I'm just gonna say I have personal history with some vampires and leave it at that, yeah?

[headcheerbleeder]

[Caroline shakes it off.]

Leave it at that and leave it with that. I don't know what jerk vampires you have in your world, but I don't have time to be making my own impressions and dispelling other people's, you know?

[ragefeathers]

Yeah, yeah. I get it.

Sorry.
