I might forego iSuspects response and head straight to the dining hall. I'll wait another day, though. Just in case.
I have an idea that stemmed from the Lord of the Rings Card Game. Basically, you and I are characters who are relied upon for all the various jobs, quests, and missions that are important but you never really hear about. The Conflict at Carrock, Escape from Moria, The Siege of Cair Andros, and so on. There are numerous quests that all have their own story and interactions. If you are interested, I can give you a quick synopsis of the various stories and we can pick one or several depending on the lore behind it. Now I'm awful with the lore so I'm fine kind of following our own path. I have loads of ideas based on the quests and stuff, too, so there is a lot our characters can do! I can play really any character and I have a few in mind. We can play only one character each or multiple to be in more than one place. I wanted to start here in the 1x1 section first because my activity is touch and go but for the most part I'm here and why not.
@Archmage MC Well that's good news, right?
Owlman's next question hit Ann a bit hard. Her smile and good manner faded as she looked away. What was the answer to where she was from? Some lab in Arizona? She couldn't remember anything before that so what else could she say? And it was probably best she kept that part of her life a secret so she turned to lie about her answer, something about living somewhere in LA. But she would never get the chance as someone came over, really enthused to meet Owlman. A woman, judging by her voice, and she had some short, messy white hair. Ann couldn't put her finger on it, but something about this woman felt odd. Ariadne must have, too, because Ann could she her now standing in the corner of her eye. It wasn't until she saw that obsessed look in the woman's eyes, that Ann had some type of confirmation on her suspicion. It was a sort of hungry look, as the woman circled like a predatory bird, and it was a tell that Ann could not mistake. A man had once given Ann that look, drunk and hungry, but he wasn't looking to fill his belly. He wasn't expecting Ariadne that night. Needless to say, Ann was uncomfortable with this whole sort of showing. It was surprising to see the Owlman so composed. Ann was watching him with apprehension. Owlman's nod did not provide Ann any reassurance that this was to be considered normal. Next came the touching. Ann visibly recoiled as if she couldn't believe that she was watching this. Then the woman finally focused her attention to Ann. It was eerie being in the woman's gaze. It felt like she was trying to search inside Ann.. for something. The woman kept staring, even as she got onto her knees and continued stroking the feathers of the Owlman. Finally, Ann had enough. "H-hey!" She spoken up, her confidence and voice barely above a speaking voice. "I-I don't think you should be..." She wavered a bit but then remembered why she was here, next to the Owlman in the first place. "You shouldn't be touching him like that!"
Edit: How I imagine Owlman's cards
It should be a super realistic Owl, though.
Hey Pirouette, what's the state of your characters clothing? Do they look as though they haven't been washed for a few days? She looking haggard at all?
Oh yes I was meaning to include that detail. Her clothes look worn, torn, and a bit dirty. Her hair is greasy but she doesn't smell bad. She looks visible tired, pale, and sickly.
Ann watched with a vague suspicion as the Owlman reached into his jacket, that same lethargic approach being conducted in his movement. It was a complete mystery to what he was withdrawing from within that jacket. Ariadne looked a bit tense as she watched the Owlman, too. Some anger was expressed but nothing beyond what was considered normal. If the Owlman was dangerous, Ariadne would be ready to make the switch, to protect Ann. But it wasn't something threatening. It was a little book, bound by spiral ring and a pressed owl on the cover. Ann relaxed and Ariadne went back to lying about the grass, trying to pluck a single blade but to no avail. Ann leaned in a bit and trying to figure out what was within the little book. Pictures of owls and.. they had word bubbles and inside they had... phrases! Ann became the giddy girl this time as she giggled like a school girl at the Owlman's card. It truly was just a sight to see and she had really hoped that he wasn't getting offended by her giggling. Getting herself under control, she nodded and doffed her own imaginary hat. "Good morning!" She answered enthusiastically. "It is very nice to meet you, Owlman!" Ann glanced over to Ariadne, and witnessed her ghostly twin successfully pluck one blade of grass from the ground. The grass blade would appear to hover a bit and fly wildly, seemingly like a wind gust, before being released and falling to the ground. She even seemed to lighten up a bit and presented a plain face. Ann turned back to Owlman and she picked up the conversation, seeing as Owlman had limited verbal utility for a conversation. "My name is..." She paused and thought about it her own introduction. She probably shouldn't use her real name, seeing as Owlman is unlikely to be a real name as well. "You can call me, Casper, and... I'm.. no superhero but it is very cool to meet one!" She said, trying to keep up her enthusiasm.
<Snipped quote by Pirouette> Well it's something he may talk about during the sparring session if you're up for a collab post? He doesn't know her actual age yet so he will ask her.
She just may coincidently find herself around the camp, then. I imagine Val scares most of everyone in the group anyway, save for Faire of course.
Sparring session? Faire would probably enjoy a second crack at that Daedra-wannabe. Also, why hasn't Valerion bugged Faire about her unnaturally long life yet? It's probably the first time, in a long time, he has encountered someone older than himself.
So there is no joke? Now I feel like an idiot.
