[bluesworn] whoops

[yugo]

Who: Yugo and anyone else in the blue dragonflight who cares.
What: A new arrival! And a mingle? IF YOU WANT?
Where: The Sapphire Sanctum.
When: April 4th? Let's go with that.
Warnings: None. Feel free to threadjack and make your own threads and whatever.


[Yugo doesn't exactly enter gracefully. One minute, all is quiet. The next, he simply appears with a little 'pop' as space reorganizes itself to allow his existence. After being told some things by the lady with the blue hair and then transported again, he ends up losing his balance and falling face-first against a nearby stalagmite.

Whoops. Gotta work on the landing.

He pulls himself back and rubs at his face fiercely, and then he finally takes it all in-- the aurora, the crystal lake, the endless reflections and light dancing off the cave formations. He's never seen anything like it, and yet something about it makes him think of home.

Oh, wait, that's the dragons. There are definitely dragons. Not many dragons, but that's still more than he's used to seeing, and he can't help but gawk for a few minutes.]

[gravitywell]

[ ouch.

not to say that genis is zeroing in because there's now someone here who looks maybe close to his age, but - no okay that's exactly what he's doing. those he's met in the sapphire sanctum so far have been kind enough, but.. it's still quiet here, and lonely, and genis is totally going to jump on the opportunity to meet and greet another kid.

or at least.. he thinks it's a kid. ]

Hahaha! That looked like it hurt.. are you okay?

[ omg genis don't ridicule people when you're trying to make friends with them.. ]

[yugo]

[It's definitely a kid, if his voice is any indication. He startles out of his trance, and stares at Genis for a long moment... Is he an Enutrof? Do Enutrofs even come as little kids? Oh well, it doesn't matter.

After deciding Genis is cool, he laughs and adjusts his hat, sorta scritching beneath it.]

Heheh, I'm fine! I've had worse landings. [He holds out his hand.] I'm Yugo! What's your name?

[gravitywell]

[ oh.. a handshake! genis loves giving handshakes, they make him feel very adult.

and hey, this guy isn't angry about being teased a little, huh? what a good sign. ]

I'm Genis! Genis Sage.

[yugo]

[Yugo's just here to make friends and handshakes make friends okay.]

Nice to meet you! And this is--

[He starts to introduce someone who isn't there, and his face falls. He takes the next few seconds to pat himself down, particularly the pocket in the front of his tunic.]

... Az?

[Even the ears of his hat seem to droop.]

Have you seen a little Tofu anywhere?

[gravitywell]

[ okay

a tofu.

as far as genis is concerned, that's food and nothing else, but this guy's talking about it like it's some sort of.. living thing, or a pet, or.. who knows. so he's taking a moment to look at yugo like he's got three heads or something. ]

Uh.. the food?

[yugo]

[Yugo looks HORRIFIED.]

No! Tofus aren't food! I mean, unless you're a dragon, but Az isn't a normal Tofu! He's been my best friend since I was little.

[YOU MONSTER.]

He looks like a little yellow bird. Have you seen anything like that around?

[gravitywell]

[ WOW this guy's, uh, really attached to his food, huh... seems a little unhealthy, friend yugo

- but wait, a little bird? genis looks even more bewildered than before, but he shakes his head. ]

A bird? No, sorry, haven't seen one.

[yugo]

[Damn. Maybe he didn't get grabbed because he wasn't actually in Yugo's hands? Is that even a thing? He has no idea how this works.]

I hope he's not in trouble...

[He's worried, if his face is anything to go by, but he's quick to try to chase it off with a question.]

Anyway, uh, what's this place called? The lady didn't tell me much before I got here.

[gravitywell]

[ yeah hey don't look at genis, he doesn't really get it either.. ]

W-well.. if I see him, I'll let you know! [ a bird. not actual tofu. right. ] But, um.. it's called the Sapphire Sanctum. [ lifting his eyes to the ceiling. ] Probably not any place you've seen before, huh..

[yugo]

[Yugo follows Genis' gaze.]

Not really. Is this what dragon homes are supposed to look like? I didn't really get to see where Grougal lived, and Adamai doesn't know anything more than me, so...

[His brother would probably have opinions.]

The floating stuff-- is that wakfu?

[gravitywell]

[ dude

you are speaking all sorts of weird languages right about now. genis tries to follow along, but he looks kind of.. puzzled. ]

Uh.. no? It's magic. What's.. wafku?

[yugo]

[Sorry he's just excited. Kind of like some other nerd.]

Magic? [... but that's--] That doesn't look like the magic I'm familiar with...

[This really is a different world. He's floored.]

Wakfu is the lifeforce that runs through everything. Plants, people, all of it. I guess... it's different here, somehow. [He reaches out to try and conjure a portal, but nothing happens. He frowns, tries again.]

... Does that usually happen, too?

[gravitywell]

[ genis wouldn't know anything about nerds ok

but oh, that.. ]

That sounds like mana! The stuff we have back home! But.. yeah the stuff here is a little different, but in the end it still kinda works the same.. sorta. Once you get used to it. ]

[ and.. uh, he doesn't know exactly what you're trying to do there, buddy, but given the handwork and the general expression of confusion, genis has a pretty good idea of what he's asking. ]

But, uh.. yeah, none of my spells worked either, when I got here. Weird, huh? But I guess it makes sense.

[yugo]

So everyone's from a different world? That's kind of cool, I mean, aside from the demons killing everything.

[Wow. He'd been to all sorts of planets in his past lives, but he couldn't remember any of them except the one he'd been reborn on. And that was okay. The World of Twelve was his world, and he'd made that clear.

... And now he was without it.]

How do you get used to it? I kind of need my powers to fight.

[gravitywell]

I think so. I mean, at least a lot of us are. Except the dragons.

[ GENIS HAS ONLY BEEN TO TWO... and technically they were the same one just split in half BUT STILL it's enough to have opened his eyes to the possibility of others, at least. so he's not hugely mindblown about all of this.

but yeah, he understands that hesitation. he was uper duper nervous being without his own powers, too.. ]

Um.. it depends, I think! I can't use any of my old spells from before, but.. I've learned some really cool new ones! But some people can still use their old ones, too, so.. I guess it depends on the person.

[yugo]

There are dragons on my world, too. My bro is one.

[Yugo had been to other worlds in his past life, but he doesn't remember any of them. Alas.]

Ugh, I hope I didn't lose my portals. I'll be a gobball's lunch if I did. [He tries again, just for good measure. He tries really hard. REALLY HARD. He concentrates, feels something respond--

-- and then he's propelled backward as he summons a volley of ice instead. That's what he gets for pointing his ice breath at the floor.]

WHOA! COOL! Did you see that?!

[gravitywell]

[ LMAO HAHA OH.. YUGO... sorry, genis is laughin'.. but wow watch where you're sending that!! ]

Haha! Oh, yeah, that..

[ okay give him a mo', too bad for you yugo that summoning ice is like.. a piece of cake for him. even before coming here. he wishes he could say he was impressed, but.. ]

Everyone here can do that! Well, I mean, the Bluesworn.

[yugo]

[Yugo is not sure how to feel about Genis laughing. He gets the feeling that it's not really that impressive.]

Oh, so it's because we're with... blue dragons, instead of the other ones.

[Hmm. Still neat. He's never had powers like this before.]

What else can we do?

[gravitywell]

[ NO OFFENSE YUGO... to be fair he was laughing more at the fact that he was knocked back by it, and surprised by his own spell, than the fact that it was unimpressive.. ]

Yeah! The others ones get like.. fire, and earth, and stuff.. but, um, well, that's the coolest thing, I think. But.. you should also be able to sense the magic here better than the other guys, too! It takes a little practice, but once you get used to it you can really feel it.

[ but it was easy for him, anyway - he could always feel mana at home, after all, and this isn't too terribly different. ]

[yugo]

[Yugo had to train in order to see and feel wakfu. He figures it'll be the same here. As long as he doesn't have to chase Adamai across an impossibly hot desert, he'll probably be okay. He crawls up on top of the nearest rock with the agility of a small monkey, and sits crosslegged.]

If I practice doing that, I can probably get my portals back faster.

[He's optimistic, at least. He glances at the ice sculpture he made by blowing himself backward.]

Hey, Genis. What kind of stuff can you do?

[gravitywell]

Maybe! You should try asking some of the dragons here, they're really good with that stuff. Not all of us are able to do the same things we could do back home, though.

[ you know, like genis himself. he misses all of his old spells.. but some of the new ones he's learning are super cool. and funny. so it's kind of an even exchange, he thinks, except none of it is nearly as advanced as the spells he'd known back home, which is kind of a bummer, but..

well, he'll get there in time, he figures. ]

But me? Mostly a lot of magic stuff! I can cast some ice and fire spells.. [ allow him to demonstrate, with a nice fat frostbolt at the ice sculpture. ] .. but I've also learned some really fun stuff..

No worries if this is way too old to tag @-@

[lexiconning]

[ Syllona enters through a portal herself after scavenging for food that wasn't piles of meat. Not too much luck on her own it seemed, only a little bag with berries and flowers... things that looked edible but she hadn't had the chance to sort or test just yet.

Yugo is the first thing she notices on that first look around because, well -- besides being new, that hat's an eye catcher.

It takes her a few cautious seconds of fiddling around with her bag, before she makes a walk over. Not so close... maybe a yard of distance; shy habits die hard.

There are a lot of questions she could ask here, but obviously the most pressing comes first. ]

Do you....do you have ears under your hat?

Not at all!! :3333333 SCREE

[yugo]

[Yugo blinks as the girl approaches. She's obviously super cautious, and not at all like the girls he's accustomed to traveling with. But he is nothing if not friendly, so he beams at her--

-- and then she asks that question.]

Uh-- that's a pretty good guess!

[He hasn't had anyone outright SAY that before. Usually people don't notice that detail...]

But I already have ears, right here.

[He reaches up and moves his bangs a little bit so she can see them. They're a little pointed at the end, but nowhere near Warcraft elf status, considering his hair hides 'em most of the time.]

[lexiconning]

Oh-oh, then you're... [ Well that answers that! It had to sound super weird to jump to that conclusion in the first place though. Drat. What's the best way to recover from saying something embarrassing? Come on, there's always a way. ]

Cool hat.

[ That probably wasn't it, but if she tries to smile back anyway that makes it less awkward, she's sure. ]

[yugo]

[Hey, that works. Yugo doesn't sweat the small stuff.]

Thanks!

[He glances around, catching a glimpse of sapphire scales at the edge of his vision. He'll take some time to get used to that; dragons aren't exactly common where he's from, and Ad' isn't nearly that size.]

My name's Yugo. What's yours?
