[EVENT] Phase II reunions!

Who: OPEN!
When: Week 32
Where: Bastan/Fall City/Underwood
Before/After: After the Phase II merge
Warnings: TBA

[Suddenly we have almost the entire cast of the game in the same place at the same time! What does that mean? REUNION THREADS!]

[Here is an open post for all your threading needs! This should make it easier to have mingling threads, open threads, random encounters, multiple participants, etc etc etc]

[Basically any characters you'd like to have meeting up in the new, merged Bastan may do so here. Stick a time in your subjectline and if you're doing it on a day other than Sunday (this post is good for all of week 32), add a date tag for it. Go wild!]

"Ah... about that."

He set a hand on Ravindra's shoulder, thought about it for a second, decided he might need a running start, and removed it and took a step backward instead.

"This has been an enjoyable -- if short -- friendship. It has been nice knowing you, I wish you well in all your endeavors, I kind of murdered his sister."
paladont: (R; i can't)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Awk...ward...?

The answer almost got lost in all the inexplicable farewelling Nova was doing, but Ravi managed to catch it. It took a few seconds to separate it from the rest of his words and parse it.

But once he did, his expression flattened. "What."
taking_names: (panic!)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Nova talked quickly, making nervous movements with his hands.

"Payback for a tragedy he put in my friend's life. But a terrible idea! But actually she's back now! And he became the -- the -- the leader of the clerics and brought me back too but not because he forgave me or anything but that's how she came back too. But I heard she's blind so it didn't exactly get undone..."

paladont: (R; wh...at...)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
"He became the Vahishta?!"

That was not outrage. Just pure shock.

Heimdall was not allowed to be a guild leader! He especially wasn't allowed to be one of Bastan's guild leaders!

omg this was terrible

forget the part about nova murdering missie, that didn't even matter anymore

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS BUT I GUESS SO!"

Nova took a deep breath to calm himself. At least Ravindra had not decided to arrest him or perform some other act of impromptu justice (did paladins do impromptu justice).

"A friend who was there when it happened said the cleric leader refused to do any resurrections and had a private talk with him and when she went back into the room he was dead. And then he threatened her into destroying the body so I guess he killed him out of desperation..."
paladont: (R; wh...at...)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"He what?!" Murdering Nova and then murdering the Vahishta! Heimdall, what even--!!!

Wait, but Nova had murdered Missie first, and Duncan shooting him for killing his sister was probably the same kind of response Ravi would've had, and then if the Vahishta was right there but refusing to resurrect her...

Okay no but this was Heimdall, it was different.
taking_names: (what do you say to that)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Do you actually need me to repeat it or are you just expressing the depth of your shock?"
paladont: (R; neutral)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Quit being you for a second," he muttered, shooting Nova a dark look. He was having a hard enough time trying to get this straight in his head without Nova's silliness butting in.

"You had a rivalry with Heimdall, so you killed his sister, and then he killed you, and then the Vahishta was there but wouldn't resurrect anyone, so Heimdall killed the Vahishta and resurrected both of you?" If he sounded skeptical, it was because there were still pieces that didn't quite fit. Like, why resurrect Nova at all...? (Not that Ravi preferred this option, it was just puzzling.)
taking_names: (looking askance)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
"You used a lot of names in there but I guess so," Nova said, bristling a little at the 'stop being you.'

Every couple of words had been nonsense; that was hard to follow even knowing the story of how things had gone.
paladont: (R; Why do I hang out with you)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
He gave Nova an exasperated look. "What's wrong with names?" He'd caught that Nova was being weird about them, but the information being delivered alongside that weirdness had been enough to overshadow it.
taking_names: (cautious)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't recognize them and I'm having trouble relearning them. It's a side effect of going to the Dark."

He waved a hand a little. "So that was like 'rivalry with bladdazoo, killed bladdafladdle...' "
paladont: (R; neutral)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"...All of them?" He looked disbelieving. "I've never heard of that before." Victor remembered his name just fine after being resurrected...
taking_names: (cautious)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Why don't you believe him Ravindra do you think he would make this up!

"Don't people lose things in the Dark a lot? I assumed it could be something different for everyone."
paladont: (Default)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah..." Hadn't he mentioned Missie being blind now, too, come to think of it?

But then, what had Victor lost? Nothing that Ravi had noticed. He looked perplexed for a moment as he considered this. ...He hadn't spoken with Victor much since his resurrection, come to think of it. That was a depressing thought. Maybe he should write, now that the dragons seemed to be working again.

...and ask whether he'd lost anything in the Dark...? Was that appropriate?

Fuck, was there etiquette about resurrection too?

He looked distinctly troubled for a few seconds before yanking himself out of his thoughts and back to his present context.

"Ravindra," he said. "You wanted me to write it down for you?"
taking_names: (hm?)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Your name? Yes, please."

He produced a colored index card from his bag; he seemed to have a set of them, and offered it along with an earth-style ballpoint pen.

"Wait, does this mean you're still going to keep speaking to me?"
paladont: (R; not sure if...)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
He took the card and the pen, paused with the pen poised over the card to look up at Nova, not quite understanding. "Yes?"

He still didn't quite have a clear picture of the situation, ie Nova killing Missie for no good reason rather than because the rivalry had naturally escalated to that point.
taking_names: (bright)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Nova smiled at him brightly, confused but delighted that Ravindra had decided not to shun him as a murderer.

The expression was perhaps a little unnerving considering the grimness of the crime.
paladont: (Default)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Yes, it was unnerving, and Ravindra shot him an odd look before turning away from it to write his name on the card.

Just in case, he included his rank as well, so it said 'Sergeant Ravindra Savarna' with the Ravindra underlined. He didn't know if Nova could remember ranks, or if it would ever come in handy to have that, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

He handed back the card and the pen.
taking_names: (:3)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you."

Nova took it back and examined it. He could read and recognize the sergeant part just fine, and wondered why Ravindra had included it. Did he want him to start using his rank in conversation?

Either way...

He held the card against his hand as a makeshift surface, and proceeded to draw a passable cartoon likeness of Ravindra next to the name, with prominent eyebrows, flowing hair, and an endearingly grouchy expression.

He flipped it to show it to Ravindra.

"So I won't mix it up with everyone else's."
paladont: (R; i can't)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"...Thanks."

Was this really how people saw him? Uuugh fuck you Heimdall
taking_names: (yay)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
He turned it back to look at it, himself.

"What? It's cute."
paladont: (R; neutral)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-27 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Never mind." He was not addressing his image issues with Nova right now tyvm.

Subject change, let's see--oh, yes, there was one readily available, as a matter of fact. It'd gotten lost in the tide of other more important things, too. "What was the Dark like?" he asked, before Nova could press him.
taking_names: (stunned)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-27 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bad", Nova said. "It's black and silent and you're all alone there and your life is over."

His idea of Hell might be a little different than Ravindra's.

"And it's terrifying to move around because you can't see, and I felt like I couldn't breathe but I don't know if that was me or not..."
paladont: (R; Why do I hang out with you)

[personal profile] paladont 2013-05-28 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
That didn't sound so bad. That was all the things Ravi looked forward to about it, actually. Well, maybe not the breathing part, but if you were dead then breathing didn't matter...?

He could not stop himself from looking skeptical. A quiet, empty place where no one expected anything of you and you didn't have any obligations to concern yourself with? Yes that sounded just awful. "That's it?" he asked.
taking_names: (are you srs)

[personal profile] taking_names 2013-05-28 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Nova looked at Ravindra like he'd grown another head.

"What do you mean 'that's it?' "
