Chesh shrugged. "I have no idea what I am. How old are you Hel? You seemed so surprised at how young we are."
I'm bored so... Character chat anyone?
(Hel smirked goofily.) Hel: I think I'm like 30 something, bro. I can pay taxes n' shiz. I mean, we don't have taxes where I'm from, but if I wanted to, I definitely could.
Ragnor: stands, raising an eyebrow
Where in the worlds have I ended up now
Eve: Small, fae-like creature sitting on Ragnor's shoulder. Tilts her small head, long ears twitching
I dunno
We were suppose to get back to the Reserve…
Max raises a beer towards the newbies: G’day mates! How’s it goin’?
Ragnor: Looks over
Hm…depends on your definition of 'newbies'
Shrugs
Though I suppose that I am indeed new here, so yes
Eve: Eyes narrow
'New', hardly
Ragnor: Chuckles
C'mon Eve, don't worry so much
Eve: Well, if I don't worry, you'd probably be dead by now
I am the one after all who reminds you to take your shot
Ragnor: Moves his right hand, which is completely covered in a metal gauntlet. A sad smile appears on his face
Heh…yea, you're right hun
Max: Well, uh, I’m Max, the only Australian here. You’ve got Hel and Chesh, Lily and Camren, the wolf siblings.
Who might you two drongos be and where ya from? he takes a swig of bear.
Ragnor: Glances over
Ragnor Barron, though I have gone by other names, some rather colorful ones to be exact
Chuckles softly
Then as for the small fae on my shoulder, Eve my Familiar
Eve: Wings flutter for a moment, tail curling around her side. Remains on Ragnor's shoulder
Mhm, I am Eve
Ragnor: Rubs the back of his head with the metallic arm
Well, where we're from…
Eve: Let's make it simple, from a different world
Hel: Oh my gosh more people. S'uh dudes! (She waves a hand lazily.) To recap: I'm a witch, Max is a beer drinkin' bro, Chesh is purple and cool, and the two ghost wolf somethings haven't spoken in a while so it's ju- (She pauses at the sound of a sharp, clear ringing.) One moment. (She hold her hand to her head with her thumb in her ear and her pinky against her mouth.) What's up… What?! No no, shut up!… Okay, and what do you want me to do about it??… But I'm with friends right now! And some new folks are here!… Babe… Babe!… BAAAAABE! OKAY FINE I'M GOIN'! STOP PANICKING. (She puts down her hand and sighs. She stands up.) Duty calls folks. I'll be back in a couple hours, but that depends when my issues are resolved. (She opens a new portal.) I'll see y'all when I'm doooooooone… (She falls backwards into the portal and her echoes are heard on the way down. The portal closes.)
Max raises an eyebrow but shrugs: We’re all from different worlds or universes here. Nice to meet you both.
Ragnor: Nods
Pleasure
Eve: Flutters off of Ragnor's shoulder, flitting over to where the portal had once been. Circles it a few times, then returns to Ragnor's shoulder
Ragnor: Watches his familiar, waiting for her to return
Well, anything catch your interest
Eve: Meh, not really
Thought maybe some kind of rare magic, like void, but didn't seem like it
Ragnor: Doubtful that void would be this far. Well, suppose it's better than the corruption or abominations
Max: The Who the what the how now? He throws his beer can in a bin and crosses his arms.
Ragnor: Eve, I'll let you take this one
Reaches into a pocket, pulling out a cigarette and lighter, lighting the end of the white stick and putting it in his mouth
Eve: Rolls her eyes, wings flitting a bit, looking over to Max
The Corruption is a nasty business to deal with. Corruption, think of it like parasites, as that is what it can be. Supposedly it spawned from the deepest parts of the hells, though no one is certain. Either way, corruption takes a hold of hosts, transforming them into monstrosities that only have the will to serve the 'hive-mind'
Corruption hates living things, so is constantly searching and taking over whatever it can
As for abominations, by far worse than corruption, as they are a result of the Chaos Dragon Titus, whom is sealed away. It was he who nearly destroyed our world before he was stopped
Max raises an eyebrow and lets out a king whistle: Crikey, that’s some nasty business. Glad I don’t have to deal with that.
Chesh frowned. "Dang! I liked her." Chesh scowled.
Ragnor: Eyes are closed, slowly inhaling. Removes the cig with his good arm, exhaling a cloud of smoke. Opens his eyes again
It is rather nasty business
Eve: Nods, making a sad 'chirrup' noise
Ragnor: Using his right arm, lightly uses one finger to lightly rub Eve's head
Eve: Seems to make a 'purr' sound
Ragnor: The way the corruption eats away at life, one of the worse ways to go, as you're still alive, but your mind isn't your own
The way it destroys the earth and nature really does upset little Eve here
Chesh coughed slightly when Ragnor exhaled smoke. "Heavens! Your worse than Zara and Val combined!" She said coughing more.
Ragnor: Releases a soft chuckle
You want smoke, visit a fire or smoke dragon
Raises the white stick back to his lips
Those guys know how to 'smoke' a place out
Eve: Opens one of her eyes, the purring becoming soft
Don't know if that was suppose to be a pun or not, either way it was terrible
Ragnor: Well, you know me
Winks, continuing to chuckle softly
Max: I’ve heard better comedy from a kangaroo in a servo…
"Val is part fire dragon." She explained. "And Zara just smokes too much for her own good."
Ragnor: Well, never been best at comedy, so don't expect much from me
Eve: Well, suppose there are always the dust demons and such
Always creating so much dust that will choke nearly anything
Ragnor: True, desert beasts and the such. Though we don't work too much in that area
Eve: Yes, but we have had a few on our reserve before
(A dark, foreboding mass begins to grow on a wall. It looks ominous and dendritic, like a tree's shadow was spreading on its surface. Softly, music is playing, it gets louder and louder, until Hel steps through the shadow with a stereo on her shoulder blasting "Without Me" by Eminem, but it's only playing the "guess who's back" part on repeat. Hel turns off the stereo and chucks it through the disappearing shadow on the wall. She spreads her arms and grins.) Hel: Who missed me?
Chesh throws her arms up. "Hel!" She yelled as she floated over to her and smacked her over with a hug.
Ragnor: Returns to calmly smoking his cig. Slowly closes his eyes
Eve: Wings flutter a bit, tail flicking a bit
Such a horrid sound, never been a fan of such music
(Hel stumbled but stood her ground against the sudden hug.) Hel: Woah! Hey kiddo! What'd I miss? Anything cool happen while I was gone?
Chesh smiled at Hel. "Ragnor started smoking and made a pun or two. That's about it." She said, shrugging.
Ragnor: Opens one eye, hearing his name
Hm?
Eve: Flits down towards Ragnor's waist, hovering near a leather pocket on his belt. Uses a small paw-like hand to try and pry open the cover
Ragnor: Glances down towards his familiar
Eve? Need something?
Eve: Pauses, looking up
Just wanna make sure you have your syringe…you did take your shot today didn't you?
Ragnor: Gives a sheepish grin, rubbing the back of his head with his metallic arm
Um…I honestly don't think I did…can't remember…
Eve: Releases an exasperated sigh
Max looks over with a confused look: Shots?
(Hel looks at Ragnor with a shocked expression.) Hel: UMMM??? EXCUSE MR. "GOTTA TAKE DRUGS MAN". NO SMOKING AROUND KIDS. SHE IS PURPLE BAPY WITH COOL POWERS. (She crosses her arms like a disappointed mother and stares at the duo she barely knows.)
Ragnor: Looks over at Hel
Sorry miss, just something to calm the nerves
Drops the white stick, crushing it under a boot
Eve: Glares over at the woman called Hel
As much as I dislike him smoking, I am the only one allowed to bug him about it
Ragnor: Calm down Eve, here if it'll help you
Unbuttons the leather pouch, then looks over to Max
Rather long story that, has to do with my covered arm here
Motions towards the large, metallic gauntlet covering his right arm
Eve: Crawls into the pouch, soon pulling out a strange looking syringe filled with a dark purple liquid
Ragnor: Sad smile returns to his face
Had an accident long time ago when doing some summoning
Remember I mentioned the Abominations and Eve talked a little about it, had a run in with the stuff
Chesh tried to calm Hel down after the smoking outburst. "Hel! It's fine! I have friends that smoke all the time." Chesh said waving her hands for Hel to stop.
