@Poi I bet you were playing as a dirty, disgusting Anathema. Glory to the Scarlet Empress! (Wherever she is...)

I'm already familiar with both of those things, now give me the painfully sweet nectar of forbidden knowledge.

You have to know that that will only make me more curious. I need to know now.

I think I missed something. What is "diapergate"?
Bio
So, I'm NewShoesForever, natch. I enjoy hiding in the shadow of tall things and praying no one sees me.
I am an absolute fanatic for fantasy adventure fiction; the more outlandish the better. I'm also all about collaborative worldbuilding, so hit me up whenever for that if you're interested.
My primary likes include Magic The Gathering and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I can be seen lurking around any thread in which I am even tangentially involved like an obsessive-compulsive poltergeist.

The captain had scarcely gotten the chance to dismiss Shinji from his tent before he was unnerved by an odd sight. From beneath the edges of the tent, billowing, dark blue smoke rolled in, obscuring the light of the moon. From the smoke, a figure materialized. They stood a full head taller than the captain, body trailing off into a long, sinuous tail where the legs should be.
The captain opened his mouth to utter a shocked exclamation, but was interrupted abruptly.
"Before you ask, I'm not really here." the naga exposited, pinching the bridge of his nose with frustration. "This is a sending. A magical means of communication. Understand?"
"Y- Yes. Of course." the captain stammered "Why are you using this? Are you not set to arrive in a matter of days?"
"Ah, see. That's just the thing. My contingent is running slightly ahead of schedule. I would recommend that you prepare your men, as at the moment, we appear to be set to arrive around sunrise."
A cruel smile played across the naga's lipless face.
"And when we arrive, we have a battle to plan for."
Without so much as another word, the naga disappeared back into the receding smoke, leaving the captain stressed and exhausted.

Trying to think of a way to introduce Nephish into the story. I'm thinking he should probably interact with Shinji first, as he's the only one actually doing resistance stuff at the moment. Thoughts?
I am.

Dukhan would've loved nothing more than to buy the thief a drink. Anyone with the skill, bravery or stupidity to try to steal something as large and conspicuous as his gun probably had some interesting stories to tell.
Alas, Dukhan new that priorities were priorities. The future of this child was on the line and he simply didn't have time to exchange tales with a bandit. Besides, Rose was obviously made extremely uncomfortable by the odd man. Perhaps some other time...
"Oh, well thank you for the assistance, then." Dukhan said, his smile unwavering. "But for future reference, you should probably know, it's actually the fashion in Yazara to wear straps like this loosely."
His countenance shifted to reflect just a hint of menace. "It's a message to errant cutpurses. Something to convey that I know how to protect my belongings."
In a moment, the menace disappeared. "Just thought you might find that interesting!"

The last thing I want to do is monopolize the IC, so I'll let a couple of people post before I go again.

Dukhan heard the girl's murmur couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Things were looking up! He was sure that he would be able to cheer the girl up with a rousing pep talk. Just a little something to help her pick up her self esteem.
"You are most certainly not pathetic! I'm sorry if my questions came across as patronizing earlier. It's just that everyone has the potential for heroism, and nothing makes me sadder than seeing someone that has given up on-"
Dukhan stopped short. There, standing right behind him, was a man with a knife inserted cleanly between him and his gun, attempting to sever the two.
Dukhan smirked.
Depression is hard to address, but this! This is something I know how to deal with!

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Rose. Like I said; my name is Dukhan. I'm a traveler from a far off land."
She was stammering like she was reading from a script or something, the poor kid. She definitely needed help, and it did indeed look like he was the only one that was willing to provide it, even if he wasn't exactly experienced with this sort of thing. Maybe he could at least give her a shoulder to cry on?
"Are you alright? Would you like to talk about it?"
