The Liquid Wallaby - Midnight in Melanthine (Transition!)

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

"I'm Adicei, thank you." She coughs. "It's been about ten years for me, ten thousand for everyone else. Went back to my civilization, they locked me up because they didn't want to cause mass rioting and were too lazy to organize coming back to the surface. Locked me up in ice." Adicei scratches her nose. "What happened to him anyways? Can't imagine he took it too well."

"Ooh, ice. What a 'chilling' fate!"
He laughs at his own joke for about 30 seconds, before coughing.
"Ah, well, uh, he moved to Siberia. He's taken up..."
He rubs his head, groaning.
"...Ice fishing."

She twitches for a bit. "Ice. Fishing."

"Of all the things... ice fishing." She sighs for an extended period. "Where is Siberia? I'll track him down."

He taps some things out on his phone and shows this picture to her.
"It's the big red area. 'parently 'e's somewhere north of a place called 'Dudinka' or somethin'. That's all the help I can give. I wouldn't bother, he's probably gone too mental to remember you."
He smirked and hopped off of his stool.
"Besides, I doubt you'll be able to find a way there or somethin'. But whatever. See you then, white haired elf lady."
With that, he walked out of the bar.

She sighs and slowly gets off of her seat. "A musket, 50 rounds, and an empty canteen. Time to hit the road again." She follows him out of the bar, though heads in a different direction afterwards.

[Barboneia]

Armund enters the Wallaby humming this song. He crawls up onto a bar stool and looks around.

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

Kasat hooks up a music player to start broadcasting some ambient music in a desperate attempt to keep people from fighting in the bar.

Somewhere in Siberia, Adicei wanders about on horseback with a musket and camping supplies. And a weathered, outdated map.

Saren reads something... presumably.

Dom covers his ears.
"You have shit taste in music."

She would hear the rumble of a large cargo plane overheard.

"It's what the royal family listens to. Hey, I figure if I can get on the royal family's good side, maybe I can get a cushy government job!"

Cerril coughs. "We don't have government sponsored bars in Arkadacia... Well, besides The Sprawled Unicorn, but that's a historical heritage site. Reils don't work there for the sake of authenticity."

"Now that's just racist."

"It'd be like having a movie about Ancient China and having the entire cast be Culdranth, it's just not authentic."

Kasat sighs and looks over at Dom. "Okay, I'll find something else for it later."

Adicei looks up and squints at it. "That's a giant bird." She mutters before continuing on her way.

"It doesn't even seem appropriate. Like, the Melanth are, what, based on the Prussians or Germans? Put on, like, German marching music or something."

As the plane faded into the distant clouds, she would likely notice a rather cozy looking wooden cabin ahead, smoke coming from it's chimney.

"I was trying to impress Cerril, thank you. I don't like Melanthine... it's too cramped. And grey. So much fucking grey here."

She sighs and slowly approaches. "Wonder if it's full of corpses like the last one." She hitches her horse up to a post outside and knocks on the door.

"I like it! Reminds me of Barboneia. Barboneian cities are also cramped and grey. 'Ell, the whole country is grey! And cold. Anyways, I'm going to put some real music on!"
He takes out his phone and begins to play The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra on it.

The cocking of a gun can be heard, before a man clears his throat.
"Кто это?"

"Кто это?"

(blake's mom confirmed for cunt of the year 2015)
"Bleh." She pauses the current playlist. "It's just kind of bland slash vomit inducing after weeks upon weeks of grey."

"Nyet sprekazi Russkie." She coughs out, not knowing a word of it.

(kek, whatd she do)

"You'll get used to it. Gods know I did."

The voice is quiet for a moment, before the door slowly opens a crack. The barrel of an AK-47 can be seen poking out and half of Alexi's face can be seen inside, confused.
"...Are you an evil ghost that has manifested as my former girlfriend so then you can torment me and then kill me?"

(the usual

expects me to skip class to babysit my annoying little shite nephew

boy can watch his own damn self, i was home alone for hours at a time when i was his age)

"Or I could just move to Arkadacia and enjoy national parks up the wazoo. The capital is like a city within a forest! It's beautiful!"

Adicei remains still and shakes her head. "Nope, just your former girlfriend. Had to finish up my ten year research stint, go back to the underground, and then they put me in suspended animation because they didn't want people flocking back to the surface en masse. Then their automated systems broke down and I made my way back up here."

She coughs slightly. "It's a little cold out here, can you let me in?"

(haha

git gud)

"That sounds awful. I don't like the woods."

He blinks and stares at her, before narrowing his eyes.
"...How do I know it's the real you?"

He blinks and stares at her, before narrowing his eyes.
"...How do I know it's the real you?"

"To the Arkadacians it's like being surrounded by holiness, so they really like it."

"What kind of demon would trek through hundreds of miles of horrible, unforgiving terrain just to find you?"

"Pft. The Arkadacians are hot, sure, but they're weird... Why can't everyone be rational and intelligent like us Barboneians?"
He snorts.

"...Good point. Come in."
He opens the door wider for her and steps to the side.

"Have you ever seen an Arkadacian in a lab-coat and with glasses? It looks... unnatural. Military uniforms just suit them."

Cerril coughs. "Are you implying my daughter's choice of clothing is poor?"

Kasat stutters and quickly shuts up.

She steps in and sighs, rubbing her arms. "Thanks. How've the last few months treated you?"

(send me a steam chat message because steam wont start up for me for some reason)

Dom looks over at Cerril.
"You have a daughter?"

He closes the door and rests his rifle against the wall.
"Bad. Very, very bad. I got all depressed, so I moved to Arkadacia, and then I moved here, and now I've been ice fishing to pretend I'm not sad."

(k)

"I've got two of them. Saren's just my heir, so he's the one I take around with me the most."

She looks down at the floor. "Eh... sorry about that."

"Oh. Why don't we ever see either of them?"

He coughs.
"It's fine. Really. I mean, I started crushing on a grey-skinned alien..."

"Misa doesn't like to go outside... Iluvia is off studying with the brightest minds on the continent... Oh, shit, and then there's Cerra, she scares me. Thankfully, she's too young to travel too much at this point. Oh! And then there's Vitesse. She doesn't want to get away from her twin, Lancer."

Saren blinks. "What about Duri?"

"We don't talk about him."

"I hope you don't mean the ones with the misshapen heads and black eyes."

"I hope you don't mean the ones with the misshapen heads and black eyes."

"...Bloody 'ell, you're a player, Cerril."

"...What? No. The Doulas. You know the one who always wore blue and preached about her god? I crushed on her."

"I was pretty wild in my younger years." He coughs uncomfortably. "I still am, just less so. I use protection nowadays."

"Oh." She laughs. "At least it wasn't Kasat, right?"

"Oh." She laughs. "At least it wasn't Kasat, right?"

"...Eh. I told Ava about how I had a boyfriend and girlfriend back in college. She didn't seem to happy."
He coughed.
"I, uh, wasn't dating them at the same time. I'm not a polygamist. Sure, the whole 'I was trying to get it on with Ira' think happened while I still with Ava... But I don't like to talk about that."

"Um, uh, y-yeah! I totally would not ever think about getting with her. Ever."

"I expect my future brides to be non-judgemental about that sort of thing."

Crysal coughs and motions at an address book.

"I don't care what the church thinks about it, I'm not marrying my seventh cousin thrice removed!" Cerril sighs in exasperation. "I'm going to hold the Arch-Druid at gunpoint and make him rewrite the holy books."

Adicei rolls her eyes. "Yeah, right. So! How's Siberia treating you?"
