☄ VOW NUMBER ONE [action + video ]

[nobleidealist]

Mithos it doesn't have to be like--[ A boy in red stumbles in the center of the Gate Entrance. His clothes are slightly tattered, his face battered and a few subtle injuries peppering his body. Brown eyes dart to the left and right bewilderedly, as a gloved hand goes to wipe his mouth, a blue stone shining on the surface of the glove.

In both hands

[rawrplay]

[-- oh, look, there's something interesting going on over here! not bothering to stop him, Nepeta runs alongside Lloyd - on all fours, with surprising agility considering the fact that her body looks mostly humanoid.]

What's the purry? And whoa - where'd you get those swords? They're cool!

action;

[nobleidealist]

[And Lloyd's just going to pause, and literally skid a bit as he stares at her. Is she some sort of monster? Well she can talk and stuff, so that's a no...to her question he replies easily: ]

From my dad's! [..wait.]

Wait a second, do you know where we are?

action;

[rawrplay]

What's a "dad"? [She comes to a stop and remains sitting on the ground, staring up at him curiously.]

This place is called Splendor! -- Wow, looks like the mewsic box beat you up purrty good, huh?

Re: action;

[nobleidealist]

..Y-You don't know what a dad is? Well, they're guys that raise you, or well, look after you! Or something like that! Like a Mom, except they're a guy!

[blink]
What's Splendor? ..And what's a 'Mewsic Box'?

action;

[rawrplay]

Ohhh. Fur me, that was my lusus! But I guess humans have diffurent words for just about efurrything.

[She tilts her head to one side, in thought.]

Umm... I guess it's like a city, only it's a really weird one that brings us here without asking purrmission. So far, it seems like we all saw a strange box that played mewsic before we ended up here. Did that happen to you?

action;

[nobleidealist]

Lusus? Is that some sort of elf word? You're an elf right? Or a half-elf? I haven't seen anyone like you before! [nothing judgemental in his smile, as he tilts his head]

...Well, I remember there was this weird box on top of the warp pad..--does that mean that thing brought me here?

action;

[rawrplay]

[She shakes her head, smiling back.] I'm called a troll! And my name's Nepeta, by the way! What's yours?

Mm-hmm. [Nodding her head confidently.] That's right! It's hard to believe, but it seems like a lot of us are all in the same situation here... so I'm happy to try to help!

action;

[nobleidealist]

A troll? I've never met a nice troll before..I'm Lloyd, nice to meet you!

[he grinned some her attitude was making him feel a lot better about things. ]
Well, yeah, I mean what else can we do? If a lot of us are stuck here right now, the best thing we can do is work together..but I'm kind of wondering why this thing slapped me in the face. [BRB GLARES AT KEY]

action;

[rawrplay]

Oh, so you have heard of trolls! [Probably not the same kind, but still! She's impressed.]

That key should unlock your hive! Or, uh... "home", like I think you guys call them. [She nods her head, grinning almost catlike. She's learning!] We might be stuck, but at least they give you a place to live.

action;

[nobleidealist]

Well, yeah, but they're usually just um, things trying to eat us. [sheepish headscratch]

Home? But how do I even know where that is?

action;

[rawrplay]

[she giggles at that, strangely!] I don't want to eat you! That doesn't sound like fun at all.

Mine took a little while to find, but finding it can be an adventure! ... And there should be a map near the big gold building. What does your key say?

action;

[nobleidealist]

I sure hope not! I doubt I'd taste good!

An adventure huh? Well, I'm good at those! [he says it carefully] Arborn..Castle.

action;

[rawrplay]

A castle? One of those big fancy buildings full of gold and purrincesses?

[suddenly she is all up in his face.] Can I help you look fur it? Purretty please?

action;

[nobleidealist]

Princesses? Well, do all Castles have Princesses? There was Princess Hilda from Tethe'alla but--..

Heheh, sure! We'll find it quicker that way!

action;

[rawrplay]

Hmm, they don't? I only know what I've read about in stories.

[... which isn't much, actually! there were probably lots of books in the lab where Nepeta was before this, but she probably can't read any that are too complicated.]

Alright! This is gonna be be supurr fun!

action;

[nobleidealist]

Hehe, yeah! So what's it like living here anyway? [happily walks beside her, his worries still in the back of his mind, but there isn't much he can do right now]
