[Ava Ire]

Omad and the Doulas woman walks in.
The woman peers curiously behind the bar.

(Thinking I may change the title back to the Liquid Wallaby, if everyone's fine with that.)

She blinks in vague familiarity. "I swear I've heard the name... still, I know exactly where it is. Old Fort Du'Pah, I believe." Adri points at an area in the Northwest, near the coast. "Might be hard to find. It hasn't been maintained in decades."

He smiles.
"Ah, thank you, my good lady! I'll have to secure transport as soon as possible. I've always wanted to see it."
He held out his hand for her to shake.
"I'm Dr. Charles Layne The Second. It's a pleasure to meet you, miss...?"

She nods and shakes his hand, smiling lightly. "Welcome. I'm Adrisal Iracuse... the only, I suppose."

[Barboneia]

Omad and the Doulas woman walks in.
The woman peers curiously behind the bar.

Dom glares at them both. Charles smiles at them.

(I'll have to change the name of my character factbook, but fine.)

Dom glares at them both. Charles smiles at them.

The woman noticed Charles. She returned the smile.
"Hello," she said with a strange accent.

[Barboneia]

He smiles.

She nods and shakes his hand, smiling lightly. "Welcome. I'm Adrisal Iracuse... the only, I suppose."

"Oh? Charles spoke of you, I believe. He said you were a time traveler. Ha! As if time travel existed then..."

Dom glares at them both. Charles smiles at them.

The woman noticed Charles. She returned the smile.
"Hello," she said with a strange accent.

"Greetings! Who might you be, friend?"

[Ava Ire]

She nods and shakes his hand, smiling lightly. "Welcome. I'm Adrisal Iracuse... the only, I suppose."

"Oh? Charles spoke of you, I believe. He said you were a time traveler. Ha! As if time travel existed then..."

The woman noticed Charles. She returned the smile.
"Hello," she said with a strange accent.

"Greetings! Who might you be, friend?"

"I am Miri Whiteblood. I'm a traveler. You are?" She brushed her soot black hair from her lily white face.

[Barboneia]

"Oh? Charles spoke of you, I believe. He said you were a time traveler. Ha! As if time travel existed then..."


"Greetings! Who might you be, friend?"

"I am Miri Whiteblood. I'm a traveler. You are?" She brushed her soot black hair from her lily white face.

"I'm Dr. Charles Layne The Second, University of Cambridge. I'm here to visit an old fort in Culdranthine."

[Ava Ire]

"I am Miri Whiteblood. I'm a traveler. You are?" She brushed her soot black hair from her lily white face.

"I'm Dr. Charles Layne The Second, University of Cambridge. I'm here to visit an old fort in Culdranthine."

"Cambridge? Ah yes, I am remember my Earth studies. That is in Am...Amorin...America, no?"

[Barboneia]

"I'm Dr. Charles Layne The Second, University of Cambridge. I'm here to visit an old fort in Culdranthine."

"Cambridge? Ah yes, I am remember my Earth studies. That is in Am...Amorin...America, no?"

Charles stared at her blankly.
"...No. It's in England. You're a Doulas, correct?"

[Ava Ire]

"Cambridge? Ah yes, I am remember my Earth studies. That is in Am...Amorin...America, no?"

Charles stared at her blankly.
"...No. It's in England. You're a Doulas, correct?"

She shook her head.
"Ah. Sorry. England and America are so similar. Ah, yes I am a citizen of Empire, but racially I am not Doulas. I am Fulvarian."

[Barboneia]

Charles stared at her blankly.
"...No. It's in England. You're a Doulas, correct?"

She shook her head.
"Ah. Sorry. England and America are so similar. Ah, yes I am a citizen of Empire, but racially I am not Doulas. I am Fulvarian."

"Hm, really? I've never heard of them in my extraterrestrial class... Mind you, this was the early 2010s, so our knowledge of extraterrestrial species was quite small."

[Ava Ire]

She shook her head.

"Hm, really? I've never heard of them in my extraterrestrial class... Mind you, this was the early 2010s, so our knowledge of extraterrestrial species was quite small."

"Fulvaria Empire is- was, very....o...ob..obscure. Was annexed into Holy Empire long, long before I was born."

[Barboneia]

"Fulvaria Empire is- was, very....o...ob..obscure. Was annexed into Holy Empire long, long before I was born."

"Hm... Interesting, I guess. If not a bit sad to think about."

[Ava Ire]

"Fulvaria Empire is- was, very....o...ob..obscure. Was annexed into Holy Empire long, long before I was born."

"Hm... Interesting, I guess. If not a bit sad to think about."

She titled her head.
"Oh? Why sad?"

[Barboneia]

"Hm... Interesting, I guess. If not a bit sad to think about."

She titled her head.
"Oh? Why sad?"

"Well, the Doulas annexed your empire, right? Basically integrated your people into them... It's almost like they've lost their identity, no longer their own people... Just part of a larger mass."

[Ava Ire]

She titled her head.
"Oh? Why sad?"

"Well, the Doulas annexed your empire, right? Basically integrated your people into them... It's almost like they've lost their identity, no longer their own people... Just part of a larger mass."

Miri's brows furrowed. She looked down at her shoes.
"Ah....I, have...never seen it in that manner. But when you put it that way...it is, sad..."

"Yeah. It is. Unfortunately, the English controlled a lot of countries like that, too... But eventually, we let almost all of them become independent again."
He sighed.
"I wish everyone could just live in peace, without bothering or controlling each other like that."

[Torrocca]

Mostlybecausethisdidn'tgainenoughtraction A couple of the figures from a few days ago, laden in iron and bronze armor, enter the bar. One carries a banner with a red field and several golden symbols within, and another carries a brass horn. One of them looks around a bit, then says, in a foreign tongue that's more than likely not understood by anyone at the bar, "<we are looking for a special individual who frequents this place! A nation's survival rests on that person's shoulders!>"

He sighed.
"I wish everyone could just live in peace, without bothering or controlling each other like that."

"Perhaps..." Miri turned away, thinking silently to herself.
She noticed the strangers in metal armor enter the bar. She turned back to Charles.

"These people are strange looking. I wonder what it is they speak?"

"...I haven't an idea. They look like cosplayers to me."

"What's a cosplayer?"

[Barboneia]

"...I haven't an idea. They look like cosplayers to me."

"What's a cosplayer?"

"A person who dresses up like a fictional character. Quite silly if you ask me, although some are quite good."

[Torrocca]

The man continues to shout what seems to be absolute gibberish, before the man, who appears to be a whole foot shorter than the already ridiculously tall man, raises a hand and silences him. He looks around and, in English, says, "we're looking for a very important person. Specifically, a person who's the queen of a foreign nation waaay up north who was sent here by the previous king for safety, due to a civil war taking place there."

Dom shakes his fist.
"How the fuck did you even get into the city without being stopped by the authorities?!"
