[Game 21] Summoning

[arsgoetia]

For some of you, this may be a familiar feeling. For others, it's a new sensation: a tug, a pull, suddenly finding yourself slipping between the cracks and opening your eyes in someplace that was not where you were a few moments ago. It feels like getting tugged into someone's embrace: warm, a little exhilarating.

As for where you find yourselves:

It's a tidy, well-kept garden in the backyard of a small house with yellow trim. The house is a little run down, but immaculately clean and well-kept. It's a sunny day, and there are literally pies cooling on the windowsill.

There is a red-haired boy standing on the rooftop, looking down at everyone with his hands outstretched. One moment, he seems very calm. The next moment, it's sheer panic.

"Oh???"

[uh. this is in fact new. this young man, full of pings as he is, is also pretty well covered in dried blood at the moment, which makes the whole situation perhaps a touch more awkward.

heeee's gonna be quietly stepping into the nearest shadows like that will help him look slightly less like a murder has just happened? (it doesn't.)]

[liarliarliar]

Are you okay?

[safety distance]

[defendless]

Zeno is unharmed, thank you. Um. Where are we?

[liarliarliar]

America. Does that help or no?

[defendless]

Zeno isn't very widely-traveled, apparently...

[oneknightsstand]

Straight up, did you just commit a murder?

[defendless]

Nnnnooooo...

[oneknightsstand]

Did you get hurt? Do you need help?

[defendless]

Ah-- no, Zeno is fine. Mostly Zeno just needs a change of clothes...

[beginningofwisdom]

[just looking him over for visible wounds; those pings are interesting but the blood is more concerning]

Are you injured?

[defendless]

[no sign of wounds at all except for the blood fucking everywhere. at least it's dry?

he shakes his head.]

Zeno is fine.

[beginningofwisdom]

I'm pleased to hear it. Perhaps our hosts will have a change of clothing.

[aethericbody]

[rummages on his person and pulls out a handkerchief and a bottle of water]

Would you like these?

[defendless]

Ah- thank you, but Zeno will pass. [he's also bloody under his clothes but cleaning that up would be pretty solid proof of it being his missing injuries and, you know, what if not that thing.]

[aethericbody]

Mm, if you're sure, very well. Will you be all right?

[bowtiedbones]

[do u like dragon pings cause I have a dragon skeleton familiar IN MY PURSE]

Oh my gosh! Are you okay??

[defendless]

[oh that's going to be distressing on some level]

[defendless]

[KEEP CALM

perhaps sliiightly manic]

[bowtiedbones]
