Hey, all - I see there's some new faces. I'm Shiro, longtime resident here.
[He's seated on a sofa - well, seated is probably the wrong word. He's propped up by a lot of soft things, thanks to being a Warmblood this month.]
If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer - usually I'm on the Waker team, but ah, didn't get a chance this time around.
[Because of feeling like speaking, like moving, is too much effort.]
Anyway, I had a question. I'm pretty good in a fight, usually prefer hand-to-hand. [He is. Hilarious.] Weapons are a little more rusty, and this thing...
[He turns the omni to face a sword propped against the couch.] ... showed up at our house yesterday. And I could use a few pointers in swinging it.

Ah, yeah. You got me there. I - wait. Pepe?
[What the heck.]
You could call them that. [For so many, many reasons.] They were an alien empire, trying to take over the entire universe. And destroying whatever they couldn't conquer.
no subject
[ skunk. she means skunk. ]
Never seen one of those things before. [ or at least not one that looked quite like pepe lepew. ]
But that makes sense to me that they'd do that. If ya can't beat 'em, you gotta rid of 'em.
no subject
[Wow. Wow. That hurts. Not really, but of all the things! All the cartoon characters!]
It's the hair, isn't it?
[Please let it be the hair.]
And that's why we were fighting them. To try and keep them from doing that.
no subject
[ pals is a strong word here, but correct her at your own risk, shiro. ]
So what. You guys the ENforcers of the Universe or something?
[ from the tone of her voice? pretty clear she doesn't think highly of enforcers. ]
no subject
[It has been turning more and more white, lately.]
[He shakes his head, though.]
No - not enforcers. Protectors. Defenders. We're not there to dictate what planets do once they're freed.
no subject
[ at least it's not the other pepe...? ]
The funny thing about Enforcers? They think they're protectors and defenders too. It's like they never get a real good look in the mirorr every morning.
But! I dunno what good Enforcers would do in Trench.
no subject
But me just saying that probably doesn't convince you, huh? We just met and all.
no subject
[ despite the goading nature of the question, her tone is ... actually kinda earnest here. jinx isn't used to strangers giving a rat's ass about her opinion. ]
no subject
May as well try and make a good impression.
[The fact she reminds him vividly of someone else doesn't help anything. But he shouldn't just announce that. That's weird.]
no subject
You're ... weird, Ppee. And coming from me, that means a lot.
But okay. If you wanna win my trust, I guess I oughta ask what the real deal with this Trench place is. I'm new here so I gotta learn it all.
no subject
[Not the last, either, the way things are going.]
Well, for the most part, the general population is happy we're here. They genuinely seem to like us - which is hard to accept, I know. We have... abilities, most of us, based on blood type.
Things can get difficult here, but so far, they tend to fade away after a month or so.
no subject
Why a month?
[ that seems... weirdly specific and random? ]
And whaddya know about this Moss King character?
no subject
That's as much as I can figure, anyway. The archives would probably know more.
[But on the subject of that Patron...]
Not a lot. He seems to have something to do with dice, and chance, though.
no subject
[ this seems... weirdly functional and regular, actually. ]
I thik that guy's a hoarding weirdo. I found this in his summer house.
[ behold! jinx holds a this up in front of the omni. ]
no subject
[Wow, Jinx can stop reminding him of old friends at any time, here. He makes a noise that's probably a quiet laugh.]
Well, that's one word for him. I missed out on the whole house party... and... that's.
Is that a wand?
no subject
[ here, she gives the scepter a wave causing a stream of pink sparkles to glow with the motion. ]
But also it does this.
[ and by this, she takes several steps away from the omni and activates the scepter. shield thine eyes, pepe, because there is an obnoxiously pink light that emanates outwards and a magical girl transformation cutscene. it all mercifully stays pg rated, but the outfit is... sure a sight. ]
no subject
Uh.
[What even do you say to that.]
[To the transformation, the pink. The uh, outfit. Is he supposed to be seeing this? This feels weird.]
That. Sure is a thing. That happened.
no subject
Why's this Moss King thing have this stuff hoarded up in his closet? Secret perv?
no subject
I'm not familiar with any of the Patrons, really. The only Pthumerian I know much about is the Moon Presence.
no subject
[ don't mind her as she just continues to idly twirl the scepter around in her fingers while making lil pew pew noises. ]
no subject
Her name used to be Cynthia Sodder. And did everything she could to help us in the end - banished a more destructive and antagonistic one, gave us shelter.
I feel like she cares about us. Much as any of them can.
