[ thank god it's somebody that isn't maybe an elda or something she's never seen before. another roussainte? or maybe a rhoag? but she's too polite to ask what tribe someone comes from, that's rude and not exactly common in euchronia.
anyways that out of the way, we're in one of the clothing stores. hulkenberg looks very thoughtful about the wide variety of styles available, a little bemused or even embarrassed by some more odd or scandalous outfits. her big ears give a little twitch hearing someone else join her. ]
Good afternoon. [ polite. ] Quite a curious shop, is it not?
[ good afternoon, Definitely Fellow Elf. there's so many humans around... even the most central part of the city was more diverse than this back home. so it's a bit of a relief for him, too, though he'd never admit it. ]
Good afternoon. [ equally polite, for now. ] Is it curious? Clothing is a form of self-expression, though there truly is no accounting for taste.
The Principality of Montario alone has vast options in all her cities, in terms of both shopping and structures, but nothing quite so... [ hm. thinking. ] Loud.
[ though glodell is obviously a show that there's potential for it. ]
And those "workeroids" are not particularly conversational. Strange, then, that there is no sign of a host that might have issued the invitations we all received.
[ he's already worked out that some shenanigans are afoot, and chooses not to push for now. the place name could reasonably be somewhere in the sanctuary, but... he doesn't recognise it, and his geographical knowledge is extremely good, so. ]
The host may be biding their time for the most impactful arrival. It would make sense with the rest of the ridiculous excuses for relaxation we've been afforded so far.
Yes, a nation within the United Kingdom of Euchornia - but I have come to learn that many have not heard of either, and come from realms that I have no knowledge of, as well.
[ because after talking to enough people, she's really starting to think that something is off, here, and she can't help but frown to think about it more. ]
A grand entrance would not be an unusual thing. [ said drily. like she wouldn't be even a little bit impressed by one. (she wouldn't be.) ] 'Tis overdone and unappreciated, especially considering the excitement of our arrival.
[ it's late at night when the two elfin-types run into each other, wherever this is in the void, but she gives him a curt nod. it's stiffer than it was the first time they encountered one another. ]
... a long week, and an even longer day, thus far. 'Tis not boding well for the last of our "vacation" if the woman is to be believed.
[ ...that actually brings the barest hint of a frown to his face. ]
That's not unfamiliar to me, actually. A short time ago back in my nation, a colleague of mine suffered a similar affliction. [ though it had fed on selfishness, not a misguided perception of protection. ] I don't think they're the same, but the influence can be extremely strong.
[ she shakes her head slightly, but there's so many worlds crossing over here that it's hard to necessarily refute. especially with their archetype awakenings. ]
It struck her the evening of... Wednesday? [ did you know metaphor has different name days. anyways. ] And showed her that we had cheated death, with the explosion that had hit our arrival. That the deaths that had been happening, the accidents, could be brought to an end if only an intentional killing came about. A sacrifice.

There are, ah, fashion expressions here that I am unfamiliar with, truthfully. But many things thus far about this place are unfamiliar.
Have you noticed any persons besides those that arrived from the turbulent ride here..?
no subject
[ all dark buildings and neon and technology for technology's sake. he shakes his head, though. ]
No, just our fellow arrivals and the workeroids that appear to be made for this location.
