INTRO LOG: APRIL 2014

[highseasmods]

WELCOME NEW CHARACTERS!
Have an intro log for the month of April!

Who: Any and all new characters, as well as anyone hanging out on or around Isla Empieza!
Where: Near the fountain in the town center.
When: New characters will arrive around April 9th! The log is good for as long as you need it.
What: You've just been dropped on your head in a weird new world. Time to figure out what the heck is going on!
Status: VERY OPEN.

The day begins gray and drizzly, the miserable sort of rain that just makes everything muddy and unpleasant. Just the luck of the locals of Isla Empieza that these April showers bring more outsiders instead of May flowers. As the day goes by, the rain gets heavier and the locals get surlier. Lucky for you you have that message in your journals telling you to get moving and find a crew, huh?

Feel free to throw your characters here if you need a place for them to get situated and start figuring things out! Start new threads, tag into others, meet the people who might just become part of your crew! Older characters will be in and out, too, depending who is on the island at the current time.

HAVE FUN! And welcome to High Seas!

[Codi quirks an eyebrow when her handshake is refused. Perhaps Liz simply isn't the handshaking type--there's probably no need to take it personally. Maybe. Possibly...no, she's taking it personally. To her credit, Codi does a good job of hiding her annoyance, save the slight, cynical twist of her ever-present smile.]

Not by much, no. [She nods a silent greeting back.] Nice to meet you, Liz. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, and I'm here to answer them. What can I do for you?

[youshouldberunning]

[Yeah, sorry abut that, kid. Nothing personal, she just doesn't want to deal with contact. Actually, she doesn't deal with contact very well to begin with. Hands in her pockets now, she just looked apathetically to the other]

Uh... [questions. Yeah, she had a few of those. Glancing back and out into the rain she looked uncomfortable, and not at all okay with any of this. But with a frown she looked back to the other] Ghosts I can deal with, but changing locations is one I'm not fond of. Where are we?

[maskedtyrant]

[Well, no surprises with the discomfort--and honestly there would be very few with the apprehension about contact, either. If Codi were in a more excitable mood, she would worry about her own abilities making handshakes unpleasant, too. Not that she's just going to...bring that up or anything. But it happens.]

Isla Empieza--main island, everyone wakes up here. [...Wait, no, she has to stop saying that. Codi quickly corrects herself: ] --I mean, we all wake up here. The kidnapped people. I think the natives can come from just about anywhere.

[youshouldberunning]

[Tightening her shoulders a bit she pushed her hands into her coat pockets more, hearing the girl out while looking out into the empty looking market place. Isla Empieza. Nope. Not a clue. Then again she wasn't great with geography if she hadn't been there before.]

Kidnapped. Seems to be the right word. Which realm is this, do we know? <small.[because it had to be one of those weird alter planes of reality or realms or something normal humans can't see... maybe?]

[maskedtyrant]

[Codi blinks once, completely blank. She's...going to elaborate on that, right? Maybe? No?]

[Yeah she's got nothing.] ...What?

[youshouldberunning]

[clearly she needed to give... more? She tilted her head, glancing away again at the area around them] Local dress looks older then it should. But not exactly third world country or old country. Construction of the buildings looks older too. Back where I'm from, this isn't... current. So either, another alternate plane, or a different realm that I some how slipped into and need to slip out of.

[was that too much? not enough? In other words, this didn't look like her earth and a bit strange here is all.]

[maskedtyrant]

[Codi follows...right up until the "different realm" bit. She even kind of understands planes! There was one of them that Clayton would babble about--the astral plane, he called it. Is that what Liz is referring to? Does she think this is where souls live? No, that seems a bit too specific...]

[Codi fumbles, still looking rather confused.] Uh...yeah. It's older than from where I am, too. I mean, I know it's not like anything we have where I'm from, but there are a lot of other people brought here from places that I don't know anything about, either. [She shrugs.] So I guess it could be a different planet, or..."realm" or something...but I dunno. I just know that we need the Roja to get out of here.
