Siren's Call: an RP

[Vapor she/her]

"I was saying hi."

[Condensation she/her]

Cadenza crossed her arms. "Yeah, well... hay is for horses."

[Vapor she/her]

Aryanna sighed and rolled her eyes.

[ProfetessaOscura she/her]

Corwin felt awkward, encroaching on yet another reunion.  How did they know so many people?  And why did he always feel like every time he met a potential friend, they were already full up on friendships.  This Janice girl kept showing up and sniping candidates!  He wrinkled his nose, stuffing his pockets full of his hands, inching away from the bundle of giddy girls and Torao.  Giddy group?  Yes, that was probably better.

"Hey, everyone!" Torao grabbed Corwin's arm. "You don't have to leave just cause I know other people." They turned back to everyone else. "So are we worried about Lloyd? Doing anything about it?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"There's... nothing we can do. We don't know where he is."

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Torao looked crestfallen. "Is there no way to look for him?"

"Hi, Corwin."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I think that Lloyd would get annoyed if we were looking for him instead of doing what we're doing right now: tryna fight the Qhoral Queen." Janice smiled. "So that's what we're doing. Actually, I was just going to find Cadenza so we could practice fighting. I'm... not really good at it, if you can imagine."

[ProfetessaOscura she/her]

Corwin looked at Torao, at Cadenza, at Janice, and at Aryanna, whom he didn't know quite as well as the others.  He shrugged.  Sure.  He could stay.  He still felt tense, awkward, like a puzzle piece in the wrong box.  "Who's Lloyd?" he whispered to Torao.

"Can I come? I'm definitely out of practice."

"He's our friend. Used to be one of the leaders of our little group. Him and Jay." Torao whispered back.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Why are you whispering?" Janice whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" Janice whispered.

"I don't know. Because whispering is fun. Makes people wonder what you're saying." Torao said, still whispering.

[ProfetessaOscura she/her]

Just now, DramaQueen said:

"I don't know. Because whispering is fun. Makes people wonder what you're saying." Torao said, still whispering.

“Oh,” Corwin said, understanding on his face, then confusion. “You mean- But then who- There’s more-?”

He froze, abashed and awkward when Janice spoke up. It wasn’t like he was hiding anything; he was just out of the loop, and he didn’t want to waste their time and attention while they were talking about what to do. He failed to voice any of this, instead opting for: “It’s nothing.”

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I think you'd like Lloyd," Janice decided for Corwin. "You guys are both super serious half the time, but also really goofy."

“When was I goofy?!” He protested, clearly offended. He was, of course, a warrior!

[Channelknight Fadran]

"What was it that you said?" Janice tapped her chin. "Oh, right! 'Mooning mewler.'"

“That’s what you were acting like,” he said, face and ears turning red. 

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Well it's not my fault that you were bleeding out, and just sitting there like... when..." Janice reached up and grabbed her shoulder. "Nevermind."

[Vapor she/her]

Aryanna observed everybody in the room, watching them smile and whisper. She gave a half-hearted smile and went to go sit down by the wall, pulling her knees up to her chest like she did when she was younger.

“I have no clue what you even mean!” He protested, “Of course I was sitting and bleeding.  I’d just got slashed!”  He waggled his arm for emphasis. “And mooning means- well, focusing on something. Usually in a kissy kind of way. And mewling means kinda soft whines.”  He puffed one cheek full of air. “Aren’t you the one who has 90 friends?  Aren’t they all achin’ to go places and do things?”

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Well all of them happen to be the punchy kind of people like you, so they all want to be here." I think.

[Condensation she/her]

"I suppose you can fight with us, Torao."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I need to get better at fighting anyways." Janice looked over at Cadenza. "Can you show me how... swords... work?"

[Condensation she/her]

"Swords? Yeah, probably. Got a sword?"
