YOU MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO DANCER

HELTER SKELTER


[Well, Champions, it certainly does look like you're trapped here.

There's limited food and limited supplies... and while there's a limited number of you, there's certainly too many of you for what you've got on hand. Never mind the whole deal that you've been kidnapped and shoved into someone else's house. Like, who even does that?

And all to "send a message," besides. Whatever that even means.

Regardless, things aren't going to change by just sitting and moping around. You're here until your captor decides he's done with you, so while there's no guarantee that acting won't just make things worse, it's got to be at least a little better than this.

Right?]


((OOC: Welcome to the week! We've got subheadings and things to organize you lot for investigations and whatnot, so please follow those. If you ever need reference, remember that location maps and such are over here!

If you ever need anything from us mods, don't hesitate to leave us a mod ping in your subject line so we know where to go!

Good luck, Strangers, and don't fuck it up.))

Tch. Politics.

[He spits it like it's a swear word. But he hesitates.]

Thou art not of our world, so it be safe enough to speak our name. We art Fou-Lu, first Emperor of the Fou Empire. We art also known as the Yorae Dragon.

[Or, well. He was. It's still hard to divest that identity from himself.]
narcoolepsysensei: (hahaha of course everything's fine)

[personal profile] narcoolepsysensei 2019-11-20 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Haha. I'm with you, I'm with you.

[Nanaki, after all, has little reason to care about the parties one way or the other, at this point.]

Nanaki Kazuaki. [Japanese order. That's his native language, after all.] Just a simple mathematics teacher at St. Pigeonation's Institute. A pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. I can't say I've ever met a dragon before.

[He's polite enough for a weird narcoleptic bird, at least?]

[There aren't many with surnames in his world but there are some within the Empire who put it in that order.]

Not many hath met a god before, it be true. They wilt never have a chance to do so again. And... we art no longer the emperor. There hath been twelve since us, though there art a... current opening of the position. We hath no interest in filling that role again.

Ah, a scholar and a tutor. We hath had little opportunity to interact with many after our initial appearance. So thy field of study be the physical realm, since thou hast said magic be missing from thy world?

I suppose that's true enough.

How should I address you, then? "Mr. Lu" seems a bit too loose.

[As for the question, he nods.]

Numbers. Solving equations, putting things in logical order to try to make sense of how our world works.

Of course, there are some things you can't deduce no matter how many calculations you run. But it's always sort of soothing to try.

Fou-Lu wilt be fine enough.

[He considers asking for 'Ryong', but no. That's special.]

... True. Though pursuit of such things in our world hath led many down a very dark path.

Fou-Lu it is, then. A pleasure.

[He's adaptable.

But what Fou-Lu is suggesting actually seems to amuse him, if anything.]


Is that so? I guess it's true for some in my own world, too. For me... I'd say it's probably the one lit path I walk.

[He's forcing himself to his feet, now. It's a bit unsteady, which, given that this is a whole new body with a whole new balance, is kind of forgivable.]

Haha, still. I should maybe find somewhere else to go take a nap...

Hm. Well, thou hast no magic, so perhaps it wouldst be all right.

[... Ah. Well.]

There art cushions in the larger room, though it hath many people gathering in it.

[personal profile] narcoolepsysensei 2019-11-20 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the problem. Most people here get upset when they see me sleeping in strange places or at strange hours...

I don't particularly need a cushion or anything, though. [He WAS just sleeping in the bathroom, so that tracks.] Perhaps I'll try one of the closets...

As long as thou art not in the way, we see no issue with it.
