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.

✦ 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.

Okay. Good. Cause I'm a little more "shitty box canyons in the middle of nowhere" than I am "forest".

What were you doing in a war?

[ Because child. ]

[followingdawn]

I got caught stowing away on the ship the Greil Mercenaries were taking to Begnion. Commander Ike told the captain he'd take responsibility for me.

[ Because evidently, kids running around with mercenaries is much less concerning than kids stowing away alone on long ocean voyages. ]

[suckitblue]

Thaaaat's not Earth, is it?

[ Just to get that out of the way. He's meeting a lot of not-from-Earth types. ]

You, uh, probably shouldn't stow away on ships, you know.

[ Helpful, Simmons. Helpful. ]

[followingdawn]

Well, it wasn't like I could afford to pay for it.

[suckitblue]

Where were your parents in this?

[ Child. Child. ]

[followingdawn]

I don't have any.

[ Deadpan. check ur living family privilege ]

[suckitblue]

Oh!

[ Fuck. ]

...Sorry.

[ Shit. ]

[followingdawn]

[ He shrugs. ]

Hard to be sad about people you don't remember.

[suckitblue]

...Right.

[ As if this is a totally normal thing to be talking about. ]

...What's your name, kid?

[ He changes topics with incredible grace. ]

[followingdawn]

[ It's totally normal, what's your problem. ]

Sothe.

[ No titles, no last name...he feels kind of out of place with these people, and it's more than just being the youngest person in the room. ]

[suckitblue]

I'm Simmons.

[ Charmed, he's sure. ]

I was a soldier, but we were never expected to do any survival stuff where we were stationed. Even when we got stranded we still had some emergency supplies to rely on.

[followingdawn]

Nobody thought it was important for you to know that stuff?

[ That seems kind of stupid, in his view. ]

[suckitblue]

You'd kind of think, but it turns out it took 8 years for it to come up and we kind of forgot.

[ He will just gently fail to mention that they were all designated fuckups. It's fine. ]

[followingdawn]

[ Flat stare.

He is so not impressed with your army, Simmons. ]

[suckitblue]

I-

[ Simmons wants to say something in defense of the Reds, but... ]

Actually you know what?

That's fair.
