There didn't seem to be any immediate danger, so she continued moving forward... and the world suddenly twisted around her, fading out to a featureless void. After what felt like an eternity, sensation suddenly returned to her as she appeared several feet in the air in an even more unfamiliar place. She tried to break her fall, but her limbs felt sluggish, and she felt her nose crack painfully as she impacted the ground. Crawling to a crouched position, she wiped blood from her face as her injuries began rapidly healing and glanced warily out at the unfamiliar faces nearby. "Pardon, but would one of ya mind tellin' me where in the name of anythin' holy this is?" "Geeze, are you okay?" Fadran tore his gaze away from the map and ran over to her. 18 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: Quote OH! I didn't know the map was being projected.
Fallapede Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Vora waved him off. "I've had worse rollin' outta bed. I tend ta patch up pretty quick, anyways." She stood up slowly, pulling herself up to her full tiny stature as feeling gradually returned to her limbs. "Nice place ya got here," she commented idly.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 "Here," declared Echo Seven, floating over and extending his hand to Vora's injuries. "Let me heal you."
Fallapede Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Vora smudged the rest of the blood off her face with a gloved hand, revealing it to be undamaged. "No need. Like I said, I patch up quick."

"Part of my Starbound powers include the ability to communicate telepathically with animals and kind of look through their mind, and I was thinking that if we were able to somehow capture a semi-important person within the evil-empire's command structure, I may be able to do do the same with them and gather some info that may aid us in our quest. Though, if anyone was important enough to have any useful information, they likely will have measures preventing mind invasion, and that's not even counting the possibilities of even kidnapping the person or my ability to do the actual mind invasion in the first place, considering animal minds are vastly different than sapient beings... Like I said, not the most solid plan- unless someone else here has some sort of telepathy, then it'd have a better chance."

"That's how this link works."

"No need. Like I said, I patch up quick." "That's a neat trick," Silver noted. "She didn't even have to say anything."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 "Mom can Narrate without words," Pearl said, unimpressed.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) "Yeah, and she's also among the most feared beings on the Thread." Silver paused, and then shrugged. "Well, to me at least." Edited January 23, 2022 by The Ward's Guard
Fallapede Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 "What in blazes are y'all talkin' about?" Vora stepped back from the onlookers, searching for a way to run if needed.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 "My mother, Star Celeste."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 "She can do literally anything with a blink of an eye," Silver added.
Fallapede Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 "Oh. I don't do nothin' like that. I just heal myself pretty fast, an' other folks if I touch 'em."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 "That seems very specific. You can't really do anything else?"
Fallapede Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 "...Am I s'posed to?" Vora glanced down at her gloved hands. "Is that kinda thing normal for wherever this is?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) "Oh, I don't know." Silver shrugged. "Just seems like it's only helpful in a few circumstances." Edited January 23, 2022 by The Ward's Guard

The Ward's Guard he/him Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 The dapper dressed young man pursed his lips for a moment. "Well, you could say that. The boundaries are kind of vague, honestly."
CryoZenith he/him Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 1 hour ago, The Ward's Guard said: "She can do literally anything with a blink of an eye," Silver added. "Indeed she can, and we love her for it." nodded Cryo. For most people, nigh-Omnipotence sounded like the making of quite a scary foe, but Mandrellians were different. Since their civilization was protected from outside agents only and entirely based on how well they understood those agents, a crisp and clean description like "Can do basically anything." was a huge time saver if it actually fit. Such is the nature of Divine Simplicity. They were much less afraid of Narrators and Gods than they were of foes with limitations on their powers, as long as those limitations were intricate and complex enough to defy classification. "I repeat. Does anyone have a map of the place we're planning to raid, so I may memorize it?"

"If you're willing- though, warning, I have no idea what might happen. Also, doing new things often drains a lot of both mental and physical energy, so it's probably best if I try after a good night's sleep."

"I'll admit, I've never heard the word "Chaosed" used like that before."
