THE SQUAD DOES AN INTRO: GROUP MEET UP
OOC POST
The Green's binding spell finally works out its kinks and the entire group is teleported into the same area in the center of the city, near the statues of the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow.

Everyone in the group feels a tingling sensation as the magic sets in place and binds them. Anyone that tries to leave will now find themselves being teleported back if they wander too far. The group will have to try to stay together when it moves now.

They have a little bit of time to figure things out.

OOC INFO
✦ Post in actionspam format. Plots and mod-run events in the game are meant to be in actionspam format to keep a brisk pace.

✦ Free-for-all Post. This event will be in "free-for-all" format, meaning that threadhopping is encouraged and that threading should be treated in the same conversational way as network posts.

✦ By now, the language magic should be fully in place. By now, everyone should have magically learned Sylvaen so that everyone can speak it fluently and understand each other.

The yellow brick road.

[ Apparently the idea that Soethe hasn't heard of cartoons goes right over his head.

He points vaguely to where the path winds through the ruins. ]

The one that leads out of here. Or wait...I think you're supposed to follow the road to the emerald place, not away from it, but since where already here we might as well see where else it goes.

[followingdawn]

You've heard of this place? And what's a cartoon?

[outofresets]

Kinda? We have a book about it in our world or somethin'. I never read it but I've seen it mentioned in other stuff.

You don't have cartoons where you come from?

[ He sure is getting to explain lot's of stuff lately. Kind of nice to feel like the knowledgeable one for once. ]

You ever seen like, flip book things? Where people will draw similar pictures on several pieces of paper, and then flip through them really fast to make it look like the picture's moving or doing something?

[followingdawn]

No, and...no?

[ Flip books are theoretically not beyond his technological understanding, at least. ]

[outofresets]

I'll have to make one to show you sometime!...If we get the chance, who knows if we'll actually find much paper in this place. Or have the time for it.

[ He shrugs, looking a little bummed at the possibility of that idea falling through. ]

But cartoons are kinda like those. It's picture made to look like they're moving, set to a story. And sometimes people do voices for the different characters.

[followingdawn]

O...kay.

[ This is all uncharted territory, delivered with Tormod levels of enthusiasm. "Bemused" is about the best he can manage. ]

[ Robbie has been listening with increasing amusement as Goggles tries to explain the Wizard of Oz to Green Hair Number 2. ]

The kid's almost right. If there's an Oz quest here, what we have to do is find the Nome King and feed him an egg.

[ He's seen Return to Oz. He just doesn't buy into the idea that a movie is legitimately real so it sounds like he's joking around. ]

[followingdawn]

...

[ why do you say the things you do ]

[balladin]

[ Because he has a tongue and poor self control of it, and he delights in this thunderstruck reaction.

He shoots double finger guns at the other boy. ]

Hey, Red, I'm digging the shades. Excellent uniform choices.
