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 obvious answer, that they’re fictional and she’s… taking a cosplay too far? LARPing?

She’s as real as this city is, which means Tim can’t call it either way.

Luckily, he has other reasons. ]

Look around you. There’s no signs of recent commercial activity, and the city itself looks to be on the early side of the industrial age. Maybe they’ve got a few mills tucked away somewhere, but I haven’t picked up on anything with advanced engineering. Maybe they’ve figured out calculus. Maybe.

[ That's circling in on sarcastic, and Tim reins it in. There's no point in being mean about it. ]

They were at the brand new cotton gin and clockwork stage when this place last saw people. It’s not so decayed to be ancient ruins… I’m sorry, but I think a lightsaber repair shop is out of their technological skillset.

[Revan doesn't know what a cotton gin is and the concept of an "industrial age" is the kind of thing she learned about as a theory in Jedi middle school but that no world she's ever heard of has experienced in at least 20,000 years.]

The spaceport will have merchants...unless you think this is a lost colony?

[The only mental category she has for a human-settled world that lacks repulsorlifts and blasters is one that fell out of contact with the galaxy and lost its technological know-how over the centuries. The balance of power in the galaxy shifts back and forth, but the major philosophies and institutions have existed in more or less their current form for millennia, and the technology advances only marginally, becoming more efficient or more compact, but never really changing. Revan's universe is essentially static.]

[ Tim shook his head and put aside questions about her believability. ]

That’s what I’m trying to tell you. There’s not going to be a spaceport. This isn’t a colony that’s lost contact with the motherworld.

[ Maybe there’s a way to slowly ease someone into an acceptance of reality, but Tim doubts it works even five percent of the time (See: asylum, Arkham). Outside of a life-or-death situation, it doesn’t seem worth the effort. Besides, the various other suspicions regarding her motives continue to linger. ]

This is the motherworld. They’re pre-intragalactic travel.
