The Technovore he/him Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Johnny looked between the two overly helpful people. He had no idea what either of them were talking about. The rainbow thing on the table totally freaked him out though. So there was that. Johnny looked at his hands. They were going numb. His entire face felt numb. Oh look at that. I’m experiencing a panic attack. Wonderful. Looks like it’s finally setting in. Johnny carefully got down from the barstool and laid on the ground as his nervous system underwent its attack. It felt like every single nerve in his body was being activated at once. He flexed and relaxed his fingers, trying to keep them from stiffening up completely. This wasn’t the first time this had happened, and Johnny guessed it likely wouldn’t be the last. Thankfully, he was finally about think calmly and clearly. It was almost like his mind dumped all its stress onto his body so it could finally work properly. Everyone here is weirdly friendly and helpful. This isn’t a kidnapping ring. It’s a cult. A cult with eldritch powers evidently. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was real this would be really cool. I need to escape. Which means playing along. I need to learn how this works while avoiding entering any rituals until I can bolt out the first open door I see. Johnny looked up at the three concerned-looking guys looking down on him. “Once I regain feeling in my limbs, I’d love to look around and see how this place works!” ”Thanks.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbringer he/him Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Jacien sighed as he went into a panic attack. He ducked in some stormlight and used progression to heal him. He didn’t know if it would work, but it was worth a shot. “Let’s get you to someplace a little less stressful.” Edited February 13, 2019 by Sunbringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Technovore he/him Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Johnny, who was honestly so done at this point with having any semblance of free-will, allowed himself to be led wherever Jacien indicated. Quote Just for smoothness purposes, y’all can go ahead and do some minor godmodding for now, I know it’s tough to try and collaborate when you can’t touch each other’s characters. Just don’t kill Johnny while my back’s turned XD Also @Sunbringer I know it’s not what you meant but the mental image of Jacien sighing and going into a panic attack right there on the spot is making me die of laughter Edited February 13, 2019 by The Technovore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see that other possible meaning at all! Jacien led the new guy to the back corner, and began trying to explain everything, about the cosmere, other worlds, and the Alleyverse, while trying to keep the new guy from freaking out. “There are people from all these different wirlds here. I’m from Roshar, as is the bartender over there. Where are you from?” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man moomba he/him Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 "Dwig shoved some memories back into his copperminds and looked up. The kid had been taken into the coverner by some guy, and the two were talking. He made his way over, "Hold on, I thought I was the one to tell you about the Alleyverse." he looked at Jacien "Why don't we get a booth and continue this conversation?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaywalk he/him Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 After a long while away, KalRoon entered through the doors of the tavern once again. The kandra scanned the room, looking for Nael. The boy was nowhere to be seen. “Rust and Ruin,” KalRoon swore. “Barkeep! Where’d he go?” Quote @Invocation Can you remove Nael’s listing? It seems counterproductive to have it up, given that he’s gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Technovore he/him Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Johnny took in everything Jacien said with surprising clarity. It wasn’t just him that had been kidnapped. They were all victims of being kidnapped. From different planets no less! I knew space aliens were a thing! Convenient how they’re human too. Kidnapper Guy—a name Johnny now knew he probably didn’t go by—walked up. He looked a tad upset about Johnny being taken from him while he was spacing off. “Hold on I thought I was supposed to tell you about the Alleyverse!” Johnny looked between him and Jacien, who were now staring at each other. I’m getting barroom brawl vibes from these guys. “Why don’t we get a booth and continue this conversation?” Johnny raised his hand timidly. “I’m cool for a booth!” HOLD UP I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING! “Does this bar serve Cherry Fanta? It’s a thing on Earth, my... former home.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few minutes, he walks back out carrying a two liter bottle of Cherry Fanta. "Luckily for you, it does appear we have some!" Malu pours you a glass.

All that time spent in the cask gives it a unique flavor, and I've got one of each that was kept in multiple casks of different woods for that extra bit of flavor-accent."

The Technovore he/him Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Johnny made a face that looked something like: “:O” This place has Fanta Cherry. And Shwarma The meal of Heroes. Okay. This place is officially cool. Still need to escape though. Johnny made a small sound of protest when the bartender poured the drink, but it was too late. He winced. “Thanks but, I don’t have any mon—“ he cut off at he looked down at the sudden weight in his hand. A pair of faintly glowing gems shown back at him. Do I question this? Is it even worth questioning? I should probably just roll with it. “Okay I guess I do have the money to pay for it!

The Technovore he/him Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Johnny looked blankly at Jacien. “Uh... Epic? I’m not sure I know what that means...” Does he mean the way things keep randomly appearing? Epic is a really cool title. Johnny Nolastname: Epic! Hehehe. “Here you go! Hope you enjoy, it’s fresh!” Johnny gave the bartender a tired smile. Then he drooled over the wonderful plate of food. He hadn’t realized it, but he was ravenous! He gulped down half the glass of Fanta and began digging into the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbringer he/him Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Jacien looked at how fast Johnny devoured his food. He walked up to the counter. "Hey Malu, can I get some more shawarma for the new guy, looks like He's going to need it. Oh, and a Roshar crab dish please?" He went back to the table. "Which world are your from? Some form of earth, I'd guess, but I'm not sure which, if it's not Calamity Earth." Edited February 14, 2019 by Sunbringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
