1st Chestnut: Arrival [Action/Voice]

[comicallyheroic]

Action/Voice

[People who happen to be making use of the Hot Springs might take note that there's a stranger in their midst. A short, bald man with six little dots on his forehead is laying down and sleeping on one of the deck-chairs near the edge of the tub. He's dressed, at least, but that doesn't change the fact that he's just there, dozing away with a journal for a pillow. Occasionally he lets out a little sigh of contentment, mumbling to himself in his sleep and seemingly oblivious to the world around him.

After a while, he does wake up though, and looks around, completely lost. In his flailing he notices the journal he's been laying on and grabs it up.]

Huh? What...? Well how the heck did I end up in a hot spring? And...what's with this thing? Oh man I hope that blinking light doesn't mean it's gonna explode or something. That'd be just my luck...

[There's the sound of random buttons being pressed and the picture flickers a few times before Krillin realizes that the blinking light means that it is, in fact, recording. He sounds immediately apologetic, and just starts speaking normally, if somewhat formally.]

Uh...sorry about that. My name's Krillin and ah-hehehe I don't know who's Capsulepad this is, but I found it and I wanna return it. The book model is really cool, I didn't even know they made them, but I'm not a thief. If you can hear this, then let me know where you are and I'll return it right away. Only, I guess it'd be great if you could give me some directions too.


[Later, after he's finally departed and begun to poke around his new surroundings, Krillin makes a beeline for town, whizzing along through the chilly air and cursing his luck. It's cold, and his clothes are freaking gone, and he of course missed the teleporter. Once he finds and swipes some clothes, he'll start poking his head around trying to find out where he can get some food and more information. So, expect him to turn up in the Item Shop, Bakery, and Welcome Center.]


[OOC: Please feel free to break time on the action portions of the thread! It's more fun that way.]

The Malnosso. And it's called a journal. [She gave Krillin a strange look at the mention of a Capsulepad.] I don't know what a Capsulepad is, but it sounds more technological rather that magical like the journals.

[A gameshow...? This got Karis laughing.]

Ahaha! No! By the archmages no! As much fun as that would be, it certainly isn't! And it certainly hasn't felt like a gameshow at all during my stay here...

Which actually, hasn't been very long, I've also just recently arrived here. But I was face first in cold snow rather than the heat of a hot spring.

[comicallyheroic]

Magic? This thing is magic?

[Man, this girl's talking nonsense...]

Hold on, okay. So...these Malnosso guys gave me this magic book. Why'd they do it? And where the heck is this? I was asleep in bed, and I woke up here.

Sorry, I don't mean to nag, but I'm just a little lost.

[Video]

[spellfeather]

It sure is! [She'll refrain from talking about magic, otherwise she won't shut up about it.]

It's so you can communicate with everyone else here in Luceti. [Took out both questions in one sentence. Karis gave herself a mental high five.]

No need to apologize, I was just as lost when I was dropped here. [And was quite thankful to get filled in on the situation fairly quickly.]

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

[Krillin takes all that in with a nod or two.]

So, this other person here's telling me it's another world? Like another dimension? Is that right?

[Video]

[spellfeather]

That's right. It's another plane of existence. Though this place isn't somewhere that you can willingly go to, or even leave...

Re: [Video]

[comicallyheroic]

Alright. I guess the next thing is...where can I get some of these clothes?

[Video]

[spellfeather]

You can find a few shops in the town square. The village is Southeast of where the hot springs are, though it would probably be in your best interest to use the teleporter rather than walking all the way down the mountains.

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

How far is it? And where's this teleporter?

[Video]

[spellfeather]

The village is about...? Ah, quite a ways out from where you're at, I actually don't know exactly how far out it is. [Or was she just forgetting? Eh, details.]

The teleporter is within the building, thankfully. It's not too hard to find.

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

I see. Alright, well, I'll try and find it.

Oh, uh, what's your name, miss?

[Video]

[spellfeather]

[Wait, did he just call her miss?]

The name's Karis, and I must congratulate you, you're the sixth person to know I was a girl straight away when it isn't so painfully obvious. [She couldn't count how many times her fellow crew members called her a guy.]

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

Really? Well you don't sound like a guy...not really...

[Video]

[spellfeather]

Ah, really? [She scratched her chin, appearing as though she was thinking for a moment.]

Huh. If that's the case, then my fellow crew members are kinda bad at gender identification then. [Since, well, a majority of them thought she was a guy for the longest time until she corrected them.]

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

Maybe so. Who knows, but either way, yeah you've got short hair but a lot of girls do that nowadays.

[Video]

[spellfeather]

That's actually not the case where I'm from. A lot of girls have very long hair. [She paused for a moment, a thought occurring to her.]

Well, at least from the planet I'm from, it's a standard among us Alnorian's to have longer hair. [That's what she believes at least. It doesn't help that she's only seen other people of her race with long hair.]

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

Alnorian? That's a new one. You some sort of alien?

[Video]

[spellfeather]

Haha, you're just as much of an alien to me as I am to you! [She couldn't help but smile at this.]

But yeah, I'm from a planet called Alnora. I'm guessing you're from Earth?

Re: [Video]

[comicallyheroic]

Yep, I'm from Earth. I've been a bunch of other places, though.

[Not really, Krillin. Just Namek and the afterlife.]

[Video]

[spellfeather]

Really? What were they like? [Despite of all the traveling she did, Karis didn't go to many planets, nor had the time to explore them, so other people describing their adventures were always a bit interesting.]

= [Video]

[comicallyheroic]

Pretty terrifying, honestly. There was this bad guy named Frieza trying to kill us. But the planet itself seemed mostly deserted. There weren't many locals at the one I spent the most time on, either. Lots of grass and mountains, though.

[Video]

[spellfeather]

[She listened to this, until he got to the part where he mentioned Frieza.]

Wait, back this ship up! [And it was here she had a goofy grin on her face.] There was a guy named Frieza? [Here it comes...]

I guess since he was a bad guy, he must not of been pretty chill huh? [Great, now she's trying her best not to laugh like a lunatic, she's just snickering at this point.]

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

[He scratches his head, suddenly confused.]

Uh...I don't think so. He seemed pretty angry to me...

[Video]

[spellfeather]

[Clearly the pun went over his head. Way to go Karis.]

You're not familiar with ice puns, are you? [She looked a little disappointed.]

Frieza. Freeze. Chill. Catch my drift?

[Video]

[comicallyheroic]

Oh...right...yeah. I get it.

[He...really doesn't but then nobody does.]

[Video]

[spellfeather]

[She's not going to try to explain further.]

I hope so, that's comedy gold right there. At least I hope it is.

[This is the very reason why she's not a comedian.]
