The Plothook from Another Dimension

[Shayuri]

Thessaly gets over her moment of stunned shock and quickly bleats, "Don't shoot!"

She extends her hands in a placating, open-palmed "see I'm unarmed" gesture.

"We're here to help you. Help your whole world."

 

[Kafkonia]

Kei blinks slowly as Taka displays her athletic prowess. Silently he moves behind Thessaly, hoping to blend into the background. Of course, if things take a turn for the worse he'll try to protect the girls -- but he knows that more than likely he'll be the one needing the protecting.

 

[Hurog]

"So you're more of those hunters, is that it? Come to fight evil and get yourself killed while you're at it, like the rest of them?"

 

[Shayuri]

"Um." Thessaly looks at the others a little uncomfortably, then back at the man with the crossbow. "Well, except for the getting ourselves killed part, yes. Could you stop pointing those at us? I swear we're not going to hurt you."

She pauses, then amends, "Unless you're evil, of course."

 

[Imerak]

Huh, Asuza thought when she arrived. Forest. Guess we're in a mideival world. Good thing I didn't ask to bring my motorcycle.

She turns to the man pointing a crossbow at the group. "Alright buddy. Put down the weapon and we can talk. We're here to help, and we could use your co-operation."

 

[Hurog]

The man glares for a little longer, then lowers the crossbow.
"Alright, I believe you're not his agents. You say you're here for him though, and plan to be breathing on the morrow. That means either you've got more up your sleeve than fancy acrobatics, or you're just plain stupid. If it's the first, I'll help you with what you need. The second, I'd rather wash my hands of you now. One way or another, you'd best let me know your plan."

 

[Masquerade]

Taka allows her posture to relax somewhat, but still does not appear trusting. "We are indeed here to help. If you are on our side, introduce yourself."

 

[Hurog]

"The name's Reinold. I live nearby, and will sell my wares to anyone foolish enough to enter the castle, or smart enough to leave it. What about you? Who are you and what's your reason for ridding the world of this blight?"

 

[Shayuri]

"It's kind of complicated," Thessaly says. "We lost our world too...we're from another world, see...and it turns out that if we can save enough -other- worlds, we might be able to get OUR world, or worlds, back."

"And it's not just acrobatics either...though we could stand to learn more about this castle and what exactly is happening. All they knew for sure was that you were under attack, and needed help."

 

[Kafkonia]

"This castle... that's where the Baron lives, right?" He leans closer to Thessaly and whispers to her. "Didn't they say the crystal is in the hands of a noble here? I don't think they realize they're under attack -- they just think they're being oppressed."
