12/20 an intro

[riflew]

a. a graceful landing

[ if you are outside at the base island today, you might see something unusual. well, more unusual than normal? this place is weird. but up in the sky, you will see one redheaded teenager and a troll with robot legs just... flying on an anti-tank rifle, following one of URSULA's drones. they seem to both just be chatting, not paying any real attention

which is their downfall because it means that the girl (izetta) does not notice when she steers them right into a goddamn tree. they both die the end. no, they just both fall off the rifle and crash onto the ground. at least they weren't that high up! care to go check on them? ]

b. you saw nothing

[ if you were not around to witness tavros and izetta eat dirt, then you can catch them both wandering around the base, clearly new as they don't seem to know where they are going.

izetta is carrying her rifle and tavros for some reason has a hole in his shirt where his chest is and it also seems to be (bronze) bloodstained? how weird! maybe he hit that tree really hard. anyway, feel free to help them out, they are dumb teens. ]

The machine is one of URSULA's drones. She's a machine who can think and feel, and she takes care of us here. This place is a different world from wherever you belong, probably. It has been for everyone else to arrive here so far.

[Just dropping that. She thinks it'll be easier on Izetta to get it at once tbh.]

[ izetta had been confused when zelda said a machine that can think and feel, but then she kept talking and what? ]

Um, excuse me! But what exactly do you mean about a different world?

[ex_resound725]

Consider all of your world. All the people and places you know, all its rules, and all of its history. If all of that is one world, your own... then this is something separate, with its own people and places and rules. We've all been brought to this world from the one we belong to.

[riflew]

I guess... that's why it feels different here...

[ the magic, she means. it's not the same as from back home. ]

[ex_resound725]

[Zelda doesn't know exactly what Izetta means, but she does agree.]

It is a strange place! But it's nice here. You might like it.

[riflew]

Maybe... [ she frowns. no offense to everyone here but izetta does not really want to stay long enough to be able to start liking it? she has things to do. ]

Um! I'm sorry if I sound unappreciative, I'm sure it can be lovely here.
