Friendly Reminder to Not Be Like Him...

[The feed opens up to reveal Cor in his traveling clothes, sitting near a beach. It's sunrise, and it looks rather lovely....

Except for the fact that Cor himself looks like he's had the snot beaten out of him, bloody bandages and all.]

Just a question - anyone else noticed that all the monsters have grown more aggressive than normal lately? Pretty sure that they're not supposed to be this eager to tear people apart.

If any Natives know if this is a regular occurrence, feel free to let the rest of us know.

[He pauses as he adjusts the bandages around one arm.]

...doesn't feel like it's normal, though...

[The last bit is muttered just as the feed is turned off.]

[That gets a short, bemused laugh out of Cor.]

That's one way to put it. Though that wasn't the original plan.

[He smirks a little. Hey, he can appreciate when someone gets his sense of humor.]

What was the plan? Do I wanna know?

Was trying to defeat a few Remora, since some folks say that a master chef could make it into an edible delicacy. Thought I could take it down with what I had on me.

[...but he looks like that might've been a mistake.]

[Iwai's first thought is "Screwed up there, huh." What he says is...]

Well. Lesson learned on that one. More information for the next time.

[immortalmarshal]

[Good thing he didn't say that first thought. Cor's kinda irritated with that realization as it is.]

Yeah.

...you new to the group?

[When you're former yakuza you learn when to not say your first thought.]

Yep. Seems I'm now part of this mess. Figured the best way to get a feel for what things was to ask about 'em.

[immortalmarshal]

[Funny; you tend to learn the same lesson with nobility.]

Not a bad idea. Most other folks are more than happy to explain things to newcomers.

[geckoman]

That's what I've been noticing. Certainly more open than a lot of the people I know back in Japan.

[Not saying much since most of the people he knows are criminals who can be cagey unless you know how to manage them.]

[immortalmarshal]

Considering what we have to deal with...well, it's kind of necessary.

Though I can't say that I'm familiar with that kind of country. Don't suppose your world isn't called Eos?

Video;

[geckoman]

Never heard of Eos. I'm from Earth if that means anything to ya.

[He's starting to realize it just might not. Which is weird but he's getting used to it.]

[immortalmarshal]

Different stars--worlds, then.

Name's Cor, by the way.

Video;

[geckoman]

Yeah. Still getting used to that.

Cor, huh? I'm Iwai. How long ya been here?

Video;

[immortalmarshal]

Iwai...Nice to meet you, I suppose.

And I've been here since early June

Video;

[geckoman]

You too. Even despite the weird circumstances.

So, June? That's a decent time here. Got any advice for a new guy?

[immortalmarshal]

Training is a given in this world, but finding those who are willing to train alongside you would be wise.

Work isn't too hard to find. If a regular job isn't your thing, you can always take up hunts - or 'Quests', as they're called here - for some cash.

[geckoman]

I could handle a regular job. I own a shop back where I'm from selling airsoft guns and supplies.

[It's why he's glad he's doing the Gunslinger thing. He actually feels like he knows what he's doing with that one.]
