[HI I am a large bird with a cute scarf and a woman's voice, how do you do]

Is this a common occurrence for ..."sensitive"?

Well, aren't you just dashingly fashionable?

They are a peculiar lot to be sure. Hard to predict. Honestly, AlcheMe used to beat them for such antics, but they seem unwilling to be second place.

Future is Now, is it?

One's garment gives it away, does it?

You are correct, one is indeed aligned with "the future is now", and one's name is The Perfected Lord who Retains the Clouds by Borrowing the Wind.

One has only just arrived, and is yet unaccustomed with the myriad troupes and their inclinations in competitions of this nature. And thus one is investigating.

I'm quite close to one of yours. Your unit that is.

[He bows.]

What a delightful name! Borrowing the Wind... How poetic.

Well, go on. Ask your questions. I am intrigued.

To begin with, how might one address you?

Alexandar of BARiTONES. While I do have my full memories, 'twas the name I was given to match my unit. I'm rather fond of it.

Well met, Alexander of Baritones.

You are close with a member of one's troupe, you say?

Levity. Hythlodaeus. I'm not sure what name he has given to you. A friend from eons past. One of my best ones.

'Twas for that reason I did not select your unit as a target and will not be for the foreseeable future.

One is unfamiliar with anyone bearing either of those names; however, one is aware that there is a member of one's troupe whose path one has not yet crossed. Since one's arrival several days and nights ago, one has not spent more than a few moments in the communal domicile. Surely it is for this reason we have not yet met.

That said, one has since learned the importance of returning periodically. Thus, one is certain one shall meet this mystery character in due time, perhaps sooner than later.

One shall take careful note of your friendship. Although your friend was not present in the competition today, you have one's gratitude for not poisoning us.

[He blinks.]

I would suggest returning to your dorm more often than that or else you will find yourself ill. Surely others have told you this.

[He waves a hand.]

Games are games. Would you poison us in protection of yourself, I would not be offended. Morality has little use in them.

One shall extend to you the same sentiment -- no malice, and no offence.

Also, rest assured one is painfully aware of the issues surrounding staying out too long. [SIGH...] One is now taking precautions. You have already noticed one's luminous apparel, for example.

[IT SUCKS!! but what can you do.]

Edited 2022-09-17 06:37 (UTC)

Wonderful. I do enjoy being of an accord.

[He taps his chin.]

Oh. Is it not to your taste?

One finds the assigned domicile unpleasant, claustrophobic, and moreover, full of people.

People or mortals? There is a distinction.

[oh, this guy gets it]

One is unaccustomed to sharing one's space with so many of either.

Then I would suggest if you get enough points to create yourself an oasis for just yourself. A room that is yours and yours alone.

If I had the points to spare, I would give them to you.

No matter; if it is true that points are the rewards for victory, it is but a matter of time before one has ample. And it is just as well, as one's shopping list appears to be ever-growing. One wishes to sample these "unit abilities" one has heard so much about, for example.

Must fortunate it is that one has no need to purchase memories, at least, else one's work would never be done.

In any case, until one is able to construct an oasis, as you say, one has found a nearby pond in which to comfortably pass the days and nights.

An audition. How marvelous. Then you must be here for a reason. A desire, a wish, that does burn inside of you.

[He does dig around in his coat for a map at the mention of 'oasis'. He thinks about handing it over but then wings. So he simply opens and shows it.]

There are various small shrines to this and that across the city. The areas are usually more green and gardened than the normal buildings. Perhaps you might enjoy them. We've also put up a rather lavish bed on a building near the water. Hardly beach side, but works in a pinch.

[She lowers her face to better see the map, vigorously studying it and committing it to memory.]

Hm! Yes. Espied one such shrine, one has, and it was as you say -- agreeably wooded and secluded. Welcome it is to know there are so many other such areas. One shall make a point to investigate them independently.

...Though, perhaps one shall wait until one has solved the issue of flight in this realm. Covering such distances by foot is no way to live.
