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.

✦ 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.

Wow.

[ That is a lot of replacement limbs to have. And those arms look like they work way better than his does.

...Did he just say 'wow'? He did. Shit. He's already managed to be an ass to a quadriplegic child. ]

That sucks.

[ Fixed it. Completely. Maybe if he just shifts the topic... ]

Hey, if you're not human, then what are you?

[ The smoothest criminal. ]

[shipoftheseus]

[Hey, that was preferable to any of the reactions they got back home. No harassing them to play with the weird metal stuff, no spontaneous attempts to cut into them, no attempted dissections. That was comparatively chill as hell. Phos definitely doesn't seem to mind, even appearing to relax just faintly when it isn't immediately followed up by any kind if nonsense.

They look a little perplexed by the question, but at least not in the "wow you're a socially incompetent asshole and that subject change was pathetic" kind of way.]]

I'm a Gem.

[What, was the crystalline hair and astonishing beauty not a clear indication? Gosh. Get it together, human.]

[suckitblue]

[ Simmons's head tilts as he squints at Phos from behind his visor. ]

You're a what?

[ Is he hearing that right? It's not accusatory, just... he is having a seriously hard time reconciling this with what he knows gems are. ]

[shipoftheseus]

[The confusion is...confusing.]

Eh? You...know what a Gem is, right?

[It's pretty obvious, right? Sure, they themself don't know what humans are...or what anyone here is, for that matter...but surely Gems are a thing elsewhere???]

[suckitblue]

You mean like a rock?

[ A beat. Oh hey, where are they? ]

Like this?

[ Simmons scoops up a hunk of emerald off the bricks and holds it up, skepticism open. ]

[shipoftheseus]

[Confusion gives way to exasperation. Phos rolls their eyes grandly.]

Well, yes. But you know what I mean!

[suckitblue]

[ Whaaaat ]

...I don't know how to break this to you, kid, but I really, really don't.
