Sessions Worlds and Stuff

"Hi!" you chirp, finding yourself in a diner, standing at the podium. "I'd like to request a table for me and my denizen."

"Hehe, certainly! But they're already in here. I'll just take you over to their table."
*the flat, fancy figure leads the way over to a booth where the pile of rocks that is your Denizen was chatting with a slab of rock with fancy lines covering it* ... *they look smaller than they should be, being about large person sized. Guess resizing for ease of communication happens here*

"Thank you," you tell Av.

"Hello," you greet your denizen. "I'm Captain Arette, the one responsible for undoing the blocks you put up. And I've got a couple of questions for you."

*the golem guy looks at you for a moment with mild surprise* ... "woh kid, what are you doin' here?" *he looks over to the slab of rock* "hey, Intolithic. Mind if I get a moment with em?"
*the slab shrugs, nods, and says "yea.", before getting up and headed for another table*
"thanks. so, questions. Didn't expect to answer or give any for a little while longer." *he seems pretty chill about all this*

You sit across from the golem after Intolithic gets up, and take your hat off. "I've got a lot going on right now, but don't worry. We'll meet out there soon," you smile at him. Your to do list is long, but you are chipping away at it, and making pretty good time in your opinion. Everything is going according to plan at the moment, anyway. "But before that... there were some things I was curious about. Like why did you put those blocks up, in the first place? This game doesn't seem the type where people do things for no reason at all... and that one's bothering me."

"well the blocks were put there for a relatively simple reason. they're not supposed to be there. in removing them and clearing a way into the deeper caves full of edible, _{and a few not edible,} mushrooms, your healing the land. its a symbolic Sylph of Space thing. you got through the first one with explosives, but the second wall will be much tougher. plenty of rewards back behind the second one though, along with my minion." *he's being totally honest about all this... mostly since your not going to remember it once you leave this place*

"Yeah, the consorts mentioned the whole mushroom thing. I almost feel bad for them; you know they'd never even heard of coconuts before?" you shake your head. "I gotta remember to introduce them to some other foods when I get back..." Of course, you'll be getting that chance plenty when you throw that luau. Which is still totally going to happen. Just... after you defeat Bob. And then for sure.

"Well, coconut is a rather region specific food. not the kind of thing cave-dwelling folk would have ever seen... and a party with such food would be better held in a less frozen environment." ... "you going to order anything? Av's got meals covered for those who eat."

You blink at your denizen. "Who said anything about a party?"

You blink at your denizen. "Who said anything about a party?"

Food does sound good though, now that they mention it. You haven't eaten in quite a while, having just plain forgotten. Your stomach rumbles. "And yeah, that does sound good... Is there a menu or something?"

"well, you had sent a few messages and said a few things about coconut shrimp something while in session. and isn't it always some kind of party when fancy, new food is being eaten? sorry if i've misinterpreted it. i don't eat much." "Av's got you covered. there isn't any menu to worry about."

"I hadn't realized that you knew about the messages that had been sent while in session. That's interesting. But yeah, since I got that village freed and all I was gonna do a luau with a roast pig and coconut and pineapple and teriyaki and all that good stuff," you smile, fluttering your fins happily. "It'll be a lot of cooking, and I'm gonna have to check and see if I have a pig in the freezer still, but I'm pretty sure that I do. Just as soon as we take care of Bob. But once he's defeated, that'll be even more reason to celebrate."

You wave over Av when you see him.

*Av seems... huh. there looks to be a few flat fancy guys about. at the entrance, at the bar... oh, and looks like one is in the seat next to you* "wanted something?" *when did he show up there?*
*talking as if Av didn't just pop out of nowhere, your Denizen says,* "whatever your wanting to do. it is important to take the time to relax when needed. Daxton's Denizen is a little more strict in planning out time-tables. with all the places he's armed up for Daxton to storm, it'd take quite a while for everything possible in the land to be taken care of. He tries to pass it off by saying it'll help players develop priorities, but I personally think he likes making many 'dungeons' all in one land."

However used to this your denizen is, you are not, and his sudden appearance causes you to jump.

"Yeah, do you think I could get some red snapper? With chipotle on it? And some lemonade to go with it." Yeah, that sounds good.

"I don't plan on taking a long break... the pacing of this game has been really fun so far, always having something to do. I don't think I've actually stopped doing things for more than five minutes since I started playing," you say happily. "But I do think that a celebration is in order; it's good for moral, yunno? And it seems like everybody's so tense all the time. /Especially/ the people surrounding Daxton, not to mention Daxton himself." You snicker. "You should have seen his face when I killed off the dersites he was gonna make a deal with. And his sprite. Oh man, his sprite is a riot. About blew a gasket when I said I was thinking that maybe helping the white queen wasn't the right thing to do. And she still seems hella off to me; have you met her?"

*Av seems to have had a tray in his hands the whole time. he sets it before you, and removes the lid, revealing a plate full of steaming Red-snapper with chipotle, a glass of ice-cold pink lemonade beside it* "will that be all?"
*continuing, your Denizen says,* "well, the Prospitians are directed towards your aid in the game, and the completion of the frog. they have their formalities, but they're designed to be a very agreeable people... um..." *your Denizen briefly looks uncomfortable as Av turns to more directly face you, light bouncing off his monocle so you can't see his eye* "yes, they were Designed to be like that. LMS has some designs of his own if you ever want to let your curiosity get the better of you... ah, but i'm sorry. how rude of me to interrupt."
... *continuing, your Denizen says,* "well, yes. Prospitians tend to be nicer, while Dersites tend to be... meaner, loaded with both natural crime, AND bureaucracy. I've met both queens across a few sessions, and they have about the same personality in each, barring any prototyping effects."

"This is great, thanks," you say, taking a bite of the fish. Hell yes, this is awesome. "Who's LMS?"

*Av speaks up, talking before your Denizen can* "LMS is a lord of Doom. he's got one heck of a story. but he got upset the last time I told it, so if you want more info, you'd have to go find him yourself."
*Speaking very 'matter of fact'ly, and bluntly, your Denizen says,* "and your Av. lord of Void. you know how to say tricky things, and you've held a deeper, less absolutely positive impact than you'd admit. please leave us to our conversation."
*without another word, Av nods and vanishes from his seat next to you* "Sorry about that. Av owns the place, and he likes talking about things just as much as nearly anyone else here."

"Yeah, I'll bet... he certainly seems like an interesting person." You think your denizen is, too, though you don't say as much. They seem a pretty cool person to you; someone you could easily become friends with. "Is he involved in, uh, our game?" You are not quite sure how to refer to this.

"well even if he wasn't, he is a Void player. He does a lot, and he doesn't do a lot more... Its very hard to tell sometimes. I can tell you that he is not directly or indirectly involved at least... you know what, I think you'd like Sucre. how'd you like to meet her"

"Yeah, sure." You drink some of the lemonade. "Is she another player, or..?"
