video + action. wowowow.

VIDEO

[ there's a long moment where savir just stares at the phone, fingers rubbing over the screen to black it out every so often. when he finally wills himself to speak his voice is rough, gravelly, and yet surprisingly gentle. ]

Strange. I had not thought myself drunk enough to hallucinate an entire city — and a device such as this! Magnificent, though confusing. Hm. [ he heard the speech from the hologram, - waved his hand through the thing, too, because what the fuck even is that? - looked at the map and, honestly, he just thinks he's straight up losing his mind. old age. death coming for him. wouldn't be the first time he woke up somewhere weird with no recollection of how he managed it or why — though this time was a little bit different. ]

Supposedly others can hear me on this, yes? Hello, if you can, and if so — may I selfishly request a moment of your time to answer some questions I have? I fear all of this is far beyond my realm of expertise.

[ he'd be more specific, but he has like five hundred questions so??? ]


ACTION

[ even while savir is broadcasting that message to the world, he's on the move and planning to investigate. anyone nearby will definitely be able to see the six-foot-seven, burly cat-man wandering around with a confused (and slightly...wistful? weird.) look on his face as he searches aimlessly around the city.

also maybe accidentally smacking people with his tail. you know. ]

Comments

[youfool]

Certainly! I'll fulfill whatever curiosity I can. If I get a name first, of course.

[meowsculinity]

Had I forgotten? How rude of me. [ a bow of his head, odd as it may look on via videophone. ] You may call me Savir. And yourself?

[youfool]

Hah, no worries. I forget all the time. [Like right now]

So, what's on your mind?

Voice: anonymous

[whatsanaimbot]

[The voice that answers him is quiet, and female, with a distinct french accent.

Oui. Everyone can hear you. Though whether they'll help you, well...who can say?

[meowsculinity]

[ what even is french? who knows, but that accent sounds nice. ]

Are those within the city not so inclined to assist strangers? How unfortunate. [ he doesn't sound upset about it at all. ] Do you count yourself amongst them?

[whatsanaimbot]

Mm. Sometimes.

I mean, what benefit do I gain from helping you?

[icecreamfloat]

( neo hadn't even been in this place for that long, but even she could pick up on those tell-tale signs of a newcomer. easy prey? only one way to find out.

going back to the basics she had been making out well enough in the pick-pocketing game, and weaved her way through the crowd with the intention of getting closer to savir...

closer and closer... wow he really was a lot bigger from here — she thought, holding onto her sticky fingers for now. )

[meowsculinity]

[ a wise choice. he doesn't have much to steal anyway — save for the money he was given upon arrival and a few coins from home still jingling in his pocket.

he sees her approach out of the corner of his eye, unable to miss the strange coloring of both her hair and her eyes. savir, not knowing he's probably two seconds away from getting swindled, smiles. ]

My, aren't you lovely.

[icecreamfloat]

( she looks up. waaaaaay up. she was used to having to just for some eye contact, even roman was over the 6' mark but this was even worse.

her response is only a smile. lovely, was it? well, at least he wasn't completely oblivious. with her plans falling through, neo leans back a little, that sweet look still about her.

eyebrows hoist just a little upwards as though she was asking a question.
new around here, hm? )

[imaginationswoes]

[Airy smiles into the screen, bright blond curls framing her cheeks as she settles on her bed to answer questions. She'd been working on paper work in her room and the distraction is welcomed.]

I think you have a lot of people answering things but is there anything I can help you with?

[She doesn't know an exorberant amount but she wants to help.]

[meowsculinity]

Would it be too bold of me to ask, simply, for company? Either through this device or in person, I would like to speak with someone while I catch my bearings — even if it is just idle chatter.

[imaginationswoes]

I can do idle chatter.

[Her smile widens.]

How to you feel about the weather?

[This is an important question.]

ACTION

[highprices]

Are you lost?

[Crystal turns when she feels his tail brushing against her bare thigh. She's wearing a short dress so she isn't surprised by the accident contacto. She is a little surprised that someone has a tail but she's grown accustomed to things she isn't used to and hides the shock well.

She knows only one other that reaches to that height.]

Perhaps I can help?

[meowsculinity]

Lost? In a sense, I suppose. I have only just arrived and am not entirely certain which direction I should be heading, if there is one at all. [ he chuckles, making sure to turn himself slightly so his tail swings away from her. ]

Might you be a native of this realm, or...?

[highprices]

A native?

[She looks surprised before shaking her head, her bright blond curls bouncing slightly with the motion.]

No. [The natives here aren't nearly as vibrant as those who are brought here.]

Just another brought here. [She smirks.] Much like you I suppose.

[bloodheels]

I... don't think I can be much help with the questions department since I haven't been here that long myself.

[It has been nearly a week, she thinks since she found herself here.]

If you want a tea or coffee or something else, I'll be more than happy with that.

[meowsculinity]

It would be terribly rude of me to decline such a kind offer from a beautiful stranger. Shall I meet you somewhere? [ a beat. ] I may very well get lost in the process, of course.

[bloodheels]

If you'll get lost I'll meet you at the Bay. That way you won't get lost.

[Seemed logical.]

[discessum]

[ If it looks like a Miqo'te and if it can be understood, then perhaps he's from Eorzea! Alisaie practically flies out of her seat in excitement, eager to speak with someone from home who is NOT her (little) brother. ]

You may, however if it takes too long, I shall have to charge you for the time spent dawdling. [ Is she serious.... maaaaaybe?? It's hard to tell at times with her. ]

[meowsculinity]

[ he laughs, unknowing of the potential chance to disappoint this cute elf girl. ]

Then I would do well to be brief, hm? Luckily, most have already answered my immediate questions. Now I search more for company as I wander the streets aimlessly.

[video]

[mechanica]

I've been that wasted more times than I can count. Picture this: we're both plastered out of our minds and are having a group hallucination. Maybe everyone here is drunk. What if we're all in on some big conspiracy mind bender because we all tried the same booze? Now we're stuck in the Matrix while the real world aka the five guys that were too chicken to try this stuff are working to hack into our mental mainframes and free us from the illusionary hell just one sip of this powerful concoction landed us in. By the way, are you a cat?

[ Sleep deprivation did weird things to the mind of Tony Stark. ]

Anyway. I think I just covered any possible question with my flawless theory but you can ask more if you want.

[meowsculinity]

[ savir stares at the screen, his face a mix of amusement and confusion as he tries to parse the nonsense coming out of tony's mouth. he lost him at "matrix." ]

An interesting theory to be certain, though I fear I did not understand some of it. Perhaps the hallucinatory drink you speak of has marred my mind more than previously thought. [ or something. anyway. ]

And no, I am not a cat. A Kotkah. [ which sounds like cat anyway kind of. ]

[mechanica]

[ No surprise there. Most people lost Tony a lot quicker than that, though. A for effort. ]

Don't worry about it, big guy. You're gonna be learning a whole lot about a whole lot of things before you know it. Unless you learned once already and forgot. Big mysteries are being presented here. Also, bullshit. You're a cat. That's just a fancy way of saying it.

[ Did he like catnip...? ]

[unhappy]

I'd actually be impressed if someone got drunk enough to hallucinate.

[meowsculinity]

It is quite easy to do, if you are dedicated enough to losing your mind.
