─ one hundred & thirty-seven

[amiable]

[ friends ]

Are you guys busy on April seventh? It’s a Saturday, and I’m not working... so I was wondering if we could all get together. [ A brief pause. Then pretty sheepishly: ] It’s my birthday on the second and I wanted to celebrate with all my friends! We can have a party in the ballroom since my own apartment is way too small to hold everyone.

I’d really love it if you guys could come. I just want to spend more time having fun and crea–creating happier memories with you all.


[ clark kent ]

If you’re not busy on April seventh, I would be really happy if you came by the ballroom for a birthday party! Your fiancée is also welcome to join. [ In fact, she should really come. ]


[ tavros ]

Can I ask you something? Nepeta said I should ask you.


[ And today, Uru can be found at the duck pond accompanied by adorable ducks she's feeding, and a certain blue footed pal. Her journal lays open to the side, so it'll be picking up the occasional quacking and what sounds like, "Julian!"

It's been over two weeks since the weird message in her journal, plus that strange feeling that shook her for a bit. She might have been imagining it, but the weird stuff did happen on the leap day...

Hesitantly, she'll start: ]

I guess Julian migrated to wherever the ducks went for the winter. I knew he'd have more fun out here with them then being stuck in my apartment. He looks really healthy, too. I wonder where it is they fly off to. The south?

[ ... ]

Hey... um! At the end of February, the castle's magic acted really strangely, didn't it? It's just... has anyone felt or heard anything weird lately? [ A beat. ] Something creepy, maybe?! Or maybe it was just a cruel prank.

Or I'm imagining it? [ A heavy sigh. That's probably it. ]


[ ooc: open through journal or action at the duck pond. :D ]

[ sob... sighs. ]

I wish there was a way for us to work together.

[ex_avenged224]

If they felt the same as you do, perhaps such a thing would be possible.

[amiable]

Maybe some do! But we just don't know about it... or they can't tell us because the other First Gens would get mad.

[ex_avenged224]

[She frowns at that, glancing around out of habit. What if there are First Gens lurking around out here?!?!]

Espionage? That would make Nancy and Zeke triple agents, if your theory is correct.

[amiable]

Triple agents?!

[ex_avenged224]

[A FIRM NOD. This makes complete sense okok]

Yes. If they are working in support of us while pretending to be in service of our enemies, pretending to be in service of us -- triple agents. You see?

[amiable]

It also sounds like a lot of work... [ Now that she thinks about it. ]

[ex_avenged224]

Espionage often is. I do not have the patience for it, but I know some who do.

[amiable]

[ Head tilt. ]

What do you do back home?

[ex_avenged224]

[She stands just a little straighter when she responds!]

I was -- am -- a ranger, of the Farstriders of Quel'Thalas. Our duties lie in protecting the forests, but we are also adept at stealth by necessity.

[amiable]

[ Quela;fksfsjkfsk what. ]

Forests again? Do all elves... like forests? I haven't met an elf here who didn't live in one...

[ex_avenged224]

[WOW URU THAT'S RACIST no Alleria doesn't even blink at the question.]

I would imagine so. All elves from my world do, anyway. We live in the forests, after all -- and all elves I have met from other worlds also seem to have a natural affinity for nature.

[except maybe Fenris, but she only spoke to him once and he seemed pretty surly about everything....]

[amiable]

[ If only she knew Fenris was an elf... but she would agree. That guy needs a hug. ]

A natural affinity, huh? That sounds so cool...

[ex_avenged224]

[She nods, gesturing vaguely at the trees and naturey things around them.]

It likely comes from living where we do. One of the dwarven clans also has a similar affinity for nature -- though of course not on par with the Quel'dorei. [THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN......]

I have speculated with Galadriel that, like all humans seem to share similar characteristics no matter what world they are from, so too do the elves. So our creation must be linked somehow.

[amiable]

Quel... what is that?

[ex_avenged224]

[d'awww, humans are always so cute about Thalassian, it's the best ... Alleria can't help but smile.]

Quel'dorei. It is the name of my people, the elves.

[amiable]

Quel... doeray... [ May have butchered it a bit. :( ]

But I think you're right about the humans here sharing similar... ah, characteristics. A lot of people here tend to be fighters. They also have strong wills...

[ex_avenged224]

[CUTE!!! She won't bother to correct her, just smiles a bit more.]

Yes -- humans all seem to have strong will and not a lot of patience, no matter where they are from. Well, generally speaking, anyway; I'm sure there are exceptions.

[amiable]

[ She thinks about something for a second. Then bluntly: ]

A will of iron, but they don't know how to cook...

[ex_avenged224]

[A chuckle.]

I know several who can. But again -- perhaps they are the exceptions, no?

[amiable]

It's still kind of weird that everyone just wishes for stuff or has the ghosts do their chores.

[ex_avenged224]

[Nodding.] We are in agreement there. It's strange to think most of these people must be self-sufficient in their worlds, to rely upon wishing and magic for basic needs while they are here.

[amiable]

Maybe they see it as a vacation. Chores aren't always fun.

[ex_avenged224]

That's certainly the least traumatizing way to look at it.

1/2

[amiable]

Least traumatizing?!

[ WHAT IS THAT WORDING. ]
