Message: <blockquote data-quote="Festy_Dog" data-source="post: 2623793" data-attributes="member: 2561">ooc: My posting rate is pretty meager compared to the rate at which this game moves, so I'm going to try for multiple conversations at once and pretend they're actually in sequence. >_<(ooc: Rewinding into the afternoon a little. Having (assumably) met Talia on board the ship when he arrived, I guess a brief bit of conversation wouldn't hurt.)Talia (in Eldish):[sblock]"Erm, excuse me, ma'am. I'm Diedrik Carnard, I was told to report for duty some time this afternoon. Are you the person I should be speaking to?" asks a slightly uncertain Rowaini man, with the air of a traveller about him.[/sblock]*Diedrik's afternoon is filled with preparations of the Hesychia in order for it to leave. He nods politely to those who come aboard, surprised as he is at the mixed group that assembles there.**He's a handsome fellow of clear Rowaini origins, seemingly in his mid-twenties, dressed in a variety of utilitarian leather garb and light armour. Raven black hair, deep brown eyes, and a small moustache and goatee are the sum of his features, with a pair of round spectacles and a single braid down the left side of his face completing the picture.**The time comes when people start making their introductions, and thusly Diedrik figures he had better make the rounds and actually introduce himself to the others who came aboard recently.*Zaeryn & Valyssa (in Eldish, easily observable):[sblock]*Diedrik's seemingly mundane traveller's appearance gives way to reveal quite a debonaire young man. He bows deeply and elegantly, paying much respect to the couple.*"Call me Diedrik," he says to them, "I find myself fortunate to be in the company of practitioners of the higher arts. I'm no expert in the field, but I think I'd know enough to maintain some decent conversation should we ever have opportunity."[/sblock]*Diedrik took a moment to introduce himself to the Tralg who seemed to be making a respectable effort to not trouble anyone. He soon realised however that the surprisingly easy-on-the-eyes Tralg wasn't following what he was saying in Eldish. He nodded understandingly, and went through a couple of arcane gestures.* (ooc: Tongues for those in the know)Gaius (in Tralg, easily observable):[sblock]"I'm Diedrik," he introduces himself and offers a hand to shake (feeling as though he was taking a gamble with his sword arm at this point), "I must say, it's reassuring to be headed into the unknown and have someone solid and skilled with weapons on board."[/sblock]*Diedrik's meanderings brought him to the second couple, whose entrance was notably more spectacular than that of the others. An assumably disgruntled individual or individuals had been left behind by the sounds of the shouting. The gentleman had the look of a traveller to him, not unlike Diedrik himself (except notably more fashionable), but with his entrance in mind it was suspected he had a streak of trouble-maker to him.*Kirkesh & Vanessa (in Eldish, easily observable):[sblock]"My greetings," the Rowaini fellow says, and bows, "I am Diedrik. A pleasure to meet you both."[/sblock]Two couples... guess some people can't avoid mixing business and pleasure. Then again, I'm here for business, they might have thought this was a pleasure cruise. I hope I don't lose any sleep...*Once the other conversations are out of the way he gets to speak to the person who caught his interest the most. The woman whose arrival was so subtle that he wouldn't have noticed her come on board were she not Larakese. He had the impression that of all the people on board, that quiet woman would prove the easiest to get along with. He approached her, bowed, and began a conversation in flawless Larakese. He had a surprisingly good grasp of Larakese etiquette compared to the average dim-witted Rowaini male.*Yuriko (in Larakese, easily observable):[sblock]"Young lady, I am Diedrik Carnard, might I trouble you for your name and perhaps a little of your time?" he asked respectfully.[/sblock]*Diedrik, for some reason, felt a bit out of his league. There was quite a collection of skill assembled on this ship.*</blockquote>
