a mingle to kick things off

[devoursall]

Monobear has been kicked, the mock murder never happened (edit: or did it...? Your memories might seem a little jumbled...), the first round of refugees has been picked up (sort of), and GETHOMEQUEST 2014 has begun.

IT'S TIME

TO

MINGLE

setting info is here but feel free to make up your own shit, driving this hopeboat is a group effort

You do not smell or sound dead. Not even mildly putrid.

[....]

I suppose I was mistaken, then! Small thing, your hair smells like flowers. It is rather pleasant. I imagine you would taste wonderful.

[If she noticed the tone, she makes no indication of it. Just...just shampoo talk here.]

[holocast]

[OKAY, THAT'S NEW and...

...

...Was...that a compliment, because he's genuinely unable to tell...

You know, usually he's the one on the receiving end of the "Why on earth did you just say that" line of questioning, so to get this sort of feeling toward someone else - animal or otherwise - is kind of bizarre; between the entire experience with Archer last time and now this, it's like these experiences he has when Miss Usami is driving the boat are specifically designed to showcase how utterly obnoxious his usual behaviors tend to be. Good job, Miss Usami. Let's just try to Love And Hope the obnoxiousness out of him.]

While I'm sure that's a compliment of some sort, I don't think that's something you ought to broadcast.

[devoursall]

Oh? Why-ever not?

[holocast]

Most humans don't take kindly to being reminded of their own mortality, particularly when it's pointed out by someone capable of stripping them of it.

[Lysandre...]

[devoursall]

Oh, do not worry, small thing - that is the point entirely! Ooh, but you are the first in a very long time to say it in so many words. Do you not feel more wary now, as you should be? I am helping!

[holocast]

...let's say that I'm accustomed to working very closely with non-human species; most of them don't speak, granted, but if anything that's making you less intimidating to me than more.

[devoursall]

It was worth a shot. Who are you, small fearless thing?

[holocast]

Lysandre, from the Kalos region.

[Speaking of things that are worth a shot. You probably have no idea what he's talking about, but anyway.]

And yourself?

[devoursall]

The Great and Terrible Maw! From a cave!

[worth a shot x3!]

[holocast]

[...You tried it, Maw. Either way, he seems entertained by it, so at least that's good.]

And what's your purpose, in whatever world that cave happens to be in? Do you have a higher one, or are you simply an inhabitant?

[devoursall]

Asking such questions when we've only just met? My, my! How abrupt! And what do you know of higher purposes, aha?

[holocast]

There's nothing wrong with abruptness; if nothing else, it tends to be honest.

As for me, I know there are some domains that are not man's place or purpose to meddle in; I also know that there are certain chosen ones that meddle in them anyway and the world comes out better for it.
