Condensation she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Quote Yes, because she says that was how she was thinking. Dialect includes different words, not just different accents.
Lunar Blessing she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Finally, voices. Scout steps carefully towards the sound, she had been wandering around here for so long completely alone. As she approaches she turns the volume of her radio down, not that anyone had called her on in the entire time she'd been there. She takes careful steps, a hand on her sidearm as she approaches, her M4 strapped to her back. Quote If you couldn't tell I'm going with my US Marine got sucked into here and has no idea what's going on. Anyone in that group can see her approaching as she's in desert camo gear...
DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "Wha--?" Queen looks into the distance confused. "Who or what is that? Any of you guys know?" She shouts toward the figure warily. "Who or what are you?"
Lunar Blessing she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Quote Agh. Can't use regular swears here and she wouldn't know Cosmere stuff.... Ah heck. She stands up straight and picks up her pace a little, hand still on her sidearm. "Hello! I seem to be lost, could any of you help me?" She calls back.
Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "Hold on, a sec." Vale squints "Are you a 21st century marine?"

Dialect includes different words, not just different accents. Quote Prepare yourself, Condensation, I am preparing to show you a conversation, but I want to greet this new lad first so... The Fox tensed immediately, drawing a knife from her left sleeve. The stranger had a hand on her gun. She was walking toward them. The Fox grabbed another knife from her other sleeve. Hatred filled her head as she eyed the gun. The Fox would not be as quick to trust this one.

Lunar Blessing she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "Okay, gonna answer those one at a time. Yes, I am a 21st century marine and my name is Samantha Jane," She eyes the one with the knives and takes her hand off her sidearm."
Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Vale walks to her, making sure to keep his hands in sight. "How did you get here, soldier?"
Lunar Blessing she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "Now that is a very good question. I'm not entirely sure how. One night went to sleep with my team, next morning woke up in... here." She watches the man walking towards her closely, "I've told you who I am, now who are you all?"

Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "I'm Stephen Vale, Blue Lotus. If that doesn't mean anything to you, we're a special ops team set up in the 2070s." He gestures to the Mishmash behind him. "This is the Fellowship. There's a demigod, a magic knight, some other magic people, and a girl."

He replies, then sits back against a tree and stares forlornly into the sky.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "I'm Nya," says the Hyxali girl softly.
Scarletfox Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Quote Here is the conversation as promised, Condensation: Spoiler Sibling: Bruh! Where-a you been (prounounced bean) Me: Brethen!

Did dem mistwraiths return? To be continued.... And also, I believe a dialect is not required to be different words, but a different speaking style. It's similar to an accent, yet different. There is often slightly different grammar, slightly different words, and in-fluctuations typically mean different things in different dialects. 6 minutes ago, Blessing of Potency said: "Okay, gonna answer those one at a time. Yes, I am a 21st century marine and my name is Samantha Jane," She eyes the one with the knives and takes her hand off her sidearm." The Fox relaxed, just slightly, but didn't put away her knives, or stop eyeing the gun. 1 minute ago, Blessing of Potency said: "Now that is a very good question. I'm not entirely sure how. One night went to sleep with my team, next morning woke up in... here." She watches the man walking towards her closely, "I've told you who I am, now who are you all?" The Fox eyed the girl. "I am called the Fox. Kindly place your hands where I can see them. Thank you."
Lunar Blessing she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "A 2070 Spec ops team, a demigod, and magic? Am I dreaming? Is this all a bad dream? Because its either that or-" She lets out a sigh, and holds out a hand towards the man who called himself Stephan, "Let me reintroduce myself. Staff Sergeant Samantha Jane of the US Marine Cores, friends call me Scout."
Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Vale shakes her hand. "If you want I can get you back. But I think we could use someone of your talent, and you might find this a good group to stay with for now."
Lunar Blessing she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "If you can get me back I'd be happy to help. My usefulness will be limited though unless you have a way or getting more ammunition."
Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "You have an M4 and... what's that sidearm of yours? If you'd prefer I can also get you something a little more... arcane."
Lunar Blessing she/her Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 She looks over to the person who told her to keep her hands seen, "I'm just showing him, okay?" She then slowly draws her sidearm to show man, "It's a Bretta M9, and I think for now I'll stick with what I know." She reholsters it.
Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 "I get that." Vale pulls out his gun. "Glocks have been out of date for a few years by the time I come around, and I have access to all sorts of magical things, but sometimes it's better to keep to what's been tested." He looks a little more closely at the Bretta. "My supplier should have something that can fit both of your guns. Try not to run out too quickly, though. It's a bit of a trip from here."
Channelknight Fadran Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 Fadran would be visibly confused if he wasn't so deep in thought. He understands a great many things; firearms are not one of them.

If you have any questions you can ask me. "So. What do you need help with?" Edited August 28, 2020 by Blessing of Potency
