Video | Early Morning

Oh, how interesting! [Someone has been poking around with her new phone. And accidentally pressed too many buttons, turning on the video function without realizing. Have a very-too-close close-up of her face! Also, like someone read any of the pamphlets or anything. She doesn't even realize one has money in it.]

I guess this is how this works. You know, for all I've spent trying to fix the Eluvian I have back home, I never really gave much thought about how it would work. And there isn't anyone around I can ask either, not like here. Not that there could be, just it would be nice. Still, the surface is so pretty! How does it manage to reflect anything...

[She will finally lean away from the communicator, laughing awkwardly.]

Hah, oops. I'm rambling. I always ramble when I'm nervous. I don't mean to, it just happens. I'll just...stop talking now. Yes.

[She fumbles with the communicator, eventually dropping it and the fall turning it off.]


Action | Throughout the Day

[Why anyone thought it would be a good idea to let Merrill wander around any of the cities unaccompanied or without some string to find her way is anyone's guess. She did pick up a map and she can be found throughout Genessia and other cities staring at it; sometimes it's upside down, sometimes she's not even looking at the map side of it. Yeah.]

How odd. No matter where I go, it always says that I'm "right here". But I know I haven't seen that street a second time. Unless I have and the bushes are moving on me. Can they do that here?

Oh dear god, there was a random Dalish here. Alleyana stared for a moment from across the street -- pointy ears were one thing, but there was no mistaking vallaslin -- and then she strode over. The one-armed woman was armored, a huge spiky shield at her back and a mace at her hip. Her missing left arm, gone from just below the elbow down, had been replaced with a blackened dragonbone bar with two holes drilled in it.

She wasn't the most welcoming sight. And her expression was... well. Expression or otherwise, her face always looked like it had lost a few fights of its own, between the beak of a broken nose and the scarring.

"You're holding it upside down."

"Look, this part of the map is north. We're facing east, the sun came up this morning over those buildings," Alley pointed with her one, gauntleted hand. One sharp finger, not unlike Fenris' gauntlets in that regard, aimed first at the north edge of the map, and then at the buildings in question. "It's not that different from the wilds, if you just keep your bearings. Where are you trying to go?"

Some people could still pick out her accent, somehow, after all the other cultures she'd mingled with. At least, that was the excuse given when someone called her Dalish after her vallaslin had been erased... they could have just known because she was, well, the Inquisitor.

"I've been in some with trees as big as these buildings... if a lot taller." Alleyana tilted her head a little to one side, "You're not a hunter, are you, or you'd at least know how to keep your bearings. The directions don't change just because you're in a deep forest, or a giant ruin, or... this place."

The only place cardinal directions hadn't been relevant was in the bloody Fade, and this was not that! Nor was she about to bring up having been there in body... twice.

"We set up platforms in the trees in the Frostback Basin... whole camps. But being high up was the best defense, there." 'We' being the Inquisition, of course. As for the peering... Alleyana weathered the closer examination with one slightly raised, scar-crossed eyebrow.

She didn't assume this random Dalish was a mage, however. There were a lot of roles in a Clan besides hunter, Keeper, and the Keeper's students, and many of them didn't go roaming the country-side alone. Not that she'd be worried about it anyway.

"Look, it's not that complicated. A map is just a drawing of the area from above. See, we're here," she tapped one pointy finger where they were on the map. "If you wanted to go, I don't know, here," another tap, "you'd go two blocks -- that's the clusters of buildings between the roads -- ahead, and then go left one block. See how that works?"

"Well, the streets have names, see. We're on Cherry Street. Right there," a gesture, this time with the bar that made up her left forearm, "is Main Street. So you look on the map and you find where those two intersect, and that's where you are. The names are on the map, and they're on the little signs at the intersections, see them? So when you're done wandering around gaping at everything, you can find where you are then. I'd mark where you live on the map, to make finding that easier, so you can find your way back at the end of the day."

Alleyana paused, and frowned slightly as something occurred to her, "You do have somewhere to live, right? You can't just pitch a tent in a city." Not that she seemed to be carrying one.

Whelp. There was something you don't see everyday! Koishi had just started on her snack, stuffing a rice-ball into her mouth when she noticed a certain elf exiting the bay. She stared for a long moment before, swallowing quickly, she wrapped up the remaining rice-ball and took off after her. It was always a good day when she got to meet someone new!

It might take a little while due to Koishi's unconscious nature, but Merrill might begin to feel someone tugging on the back of her shirt.

"Miss? Hey Miss! Can you see me? Can you hear me? Hey!" It was always like this! But absolutely worth the effort.

[personal profile] koishi_komeiji 2016-09-04 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, dammit. She hated being unnoticed. And she seemed especially hidden right now too. She would have to fix that!

Koishi drifted forward and booped Merrill on the nose. "Miss? Can you see me now?" Physical contact always seemed to help.

Koishi was a tiny thing, standing at only 4'2"... or would be if she was standing. Currently she appeared to be floating, her face framed with mint green hair and eyes that glowed green brightly enough to cast light on her cheeks in the dark. She also had a blue sphere the size of a baseball floating in front of her chest. Each side had a cord coming out of it which looped around her body and connected at her ankles. The slack, like the sphere, was floating of its own accord.

"My nature is unconscious so peoples brains have a hard time processing my presence... except children. They're good at seeing me."

[personal profile] koishi_komeiji 2016-09-05 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Koishi simply lit up, absolutely elated Merrill could see her now. "Yay! But it's not because of the fade Miss. It's because children's minds are muddy. Their brains have not developed a clear divide between the conscious and unconscious and so its easier for them to see things that are imaginary." She didn't bother clarifying further.

She grasped the elf's hand, shaking it warmly. "Hello Miss! My name is Koishi Komeiji. I'm a satori youkai. And I've never seen someone like you before. You smell mortal and you kinda look human but you're quicker and you have adorable ears. I wish mine were like that. It gives your face a really elegant profile."

[personal profile] koishi_komeiji 2016-09-05 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
"You talk funny!" Though Koishi was one to talk herself, her native Japanese tongue giving her a rather obvious accent. "It's okay. The name is Japanese. Also, some of my best friends talk funny and they say my name wrong too. You're close though. I'm sure you'll get it eventually."

She only brightened. "It's a word that means little stone. 'Ko' means little and 'ishi' means rock. And Komeiji means 'ancient bright earth!'" Certainly a flavorful name. "I've never heard of an elf before though. Where I live we have fairies and ghosts and gods and all sorts of youkai. Satori is the type of youkai I am. We're carnivorous creatures that live in mountains and protect people who respect it and live there and tell stories to travelers." And sometimes they eat people who are alone and frightened. But Koishi wasn't about to say that.

She paused for a long moment. "OH! I forgot. Not many people know what a youkai is. We're spirit, monster, demon... things..." Koishi scratched her head. "There isn't a good word for it in this language. So any of those work, really."

[Tracer initially responds because of the familiar accent. She misses England, and Merril's accent sounds so much like home. However, after taking in the message, and everything, she finds herself far more intrigued than homesick.]

Oooh, I love your tattoos, love. ...And what's an ill-oovy-ann?

[personal profile] cheersloves 2016-09-17 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, an ancient mirror that acts like phones? That sounds like something straight out of a fairy tale!

[And judging by Tracer's enthusiasm, she's more than willing to hear more about it.]

No such thing as magic in my world, love. So yeah, it's like a fairy tale to me. No offense, or anything just... It sounds so fantastical.

[personal profile] cheersloves 2016-10-19 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me, love. It's anything but. We don't have magic, but we've got some pretty impressive technology. I've fought alongside a guy that uses special sound waves to trick the brain into healing wounds faster, or even creating force-fields out of sound waves. It may not be magic, but it's far from borin'.
