Eia nudges it. It sizzles a bit. “I’m sure we can find a use for it.”

”Well, I wouldn’t have approached you if you weren’t a Narrator. I’m a bit reliant on Narrators for travel, but Night isn’t returning my calls. Perhaps there’s a fight we can crash, overwhelming the opponents and forcing them to work together?”

@Ink and Embers’s eye only!

 

Kevin picks up the rock, immediately drops it, cools it down, and picks it up again.

"Alright! I haven't had ... tonnes of experience traveling yet. Do I just imagine a fight and end up there? Any specific fight? How large a scale? Will a cat and a dog do, for example, or warring kingdoms, which would be harder to fight?"

Viridis arrived on a small, densely-forested island. His hydrogen peroxide had been enough to cover most of the journey, fortunately. He was starving, however, though he did not show it, obscured by his cloak as he was.

He left the boat on the sands of the island's coast and ventured into the island, scanning carefully for anything that might be edible.

Eli nodded. "Me, levi and trevor are a crew."

"So then, let's get going!" The innkeeper opens the ship and shows them to the controls.

Hello! May I start a scene with you? My character was interacting with Ver, who left the Shard

Sure!

Are you creating a new character or bringing an existing one? Because this island has something strange on it...

Thank you!!!

Can I bring Kevin, or is someone marginally competent better?

Uhh this island has some dangerous fauna and flora (not Patjii-level, but still pretty dangerous), so preferably someone who can deal with such things

The island is uninhabited, so you'll need an explanation for how your character got there (it doesn't have to be realistic)

Also one of my other characters, a Narrator, is watching Viridis very closely...

Okay!

Kiornight arrived at the island in a hissing of wings, tired after several days' flight. Fireflies crawled over his clothing, flickering with light, but he dimmed them with a thought. Better to be concealed, in this place. Whatever lived here was dangerous at best. 

Strangely, a small craft rested on the sand on a nearby beach; he'd seen it as he was arriving. Another being. He wondered if they were still alive. Still, wouldn't hurt to check... probably.

If nothing else, he could raid the boat for resources. Steps clicking and whirring with wing beats, he headed towards the boat.

Initially, Viridis dismissed the buzzing for mosquitoes. But as it grew louder, he turned and saw a humanoid figure, covered head-to-toe in what looked like flies. Viridis instinctively accelerated his metabolism - not too much, he was already hungry - but just a little.  As the figure approached his boat - which was empty, save his oars - he used his cloak to blend into the dense foliage behind him as best he could, keeping his eyes on Kiornight.

He'd thought that he'd been the only one left who knew about this island. It turned out he was wrong.

They're a kind of spider-species a bit like Sleepless from an RPG called the Wildsea. It's very cool!

Kiornight examined the boat - largely empty - and concluded it probably didn't have many uses besides firewood. And transport, he supposed. What interested him more was that the marks made by the boat's landing. The waves had barely scrubbed them away at all.

Another person, and recently arrived. If they were competent (Kiornight suspected they had to be to get this far), they might not be dead just yet. 

Kiornight shrugged, letting his humanoid shape mostly dissipate into a buzzing swarm, and headed into the island. He'd meet the person sooner or later. Maybe even alive.

Viridis' jaw dropped as the buzzing mass approaching him, though his face remained shadowed by his hood. As quietly as he could, he began to climb the nearest tree. He was confident that no human would be able to hear him, though he had no idea of what this creature's hearing was like. His stomach rumbled, and his eyes widened at the noise; he immediately turned down his metabolism to normal levels. He really needed to find something to eat.
