EvolverOcelot (Coris): Why
EvolverOcelot (Coris): WHY
ModusOperandi (Dreamland): It's just the common sense of that world, I guess.
EvolverOcelot (Coris): I am going to introduce this world to modern economics if it kills me.
======= Today =======
tranquility (Earth L7): is anyone here familiar with a world called "Earth"?
IGotASword (Avitria): earth??? i know that place!!!
Whatsamana (Earth Q): don't you worry sword here will teach you everything he knows
Aphrodite (Galactic Republic): Why does this setup fill me with dread?
IGotASword (Avitria): can you tell us a little about your situation?
tranquility (Earth L7): of course.
tranquility (Earth L7): my true name is Queen Tranquility, queen regnant of the Fromage Kingdom.
IGotASword (Avitria): gasp!!! my queen!!! should i be kneeling?
tranquility (Earth L7): i understand the members of this chat server are considered equals, so you may dispense with the formalities.
tranquility (Earth L7): recently i was in pursuit of the Kingdom's greatest enemy, Lady Limburger, with my guard of royal knights.
Whatsamana (Earth Q): is the queen supposed to be out on the battlefield...?
tranquility (Earth L7): it is not so unusual in Fromage. we take noblesse oblige very seriously here.
tranquility (Earth L7): moreover, Lady Limburger controls a powerful artifact of evil. it can only be effectively countered by the royal family's heirloom, the Ches Stick.
tranquility (Earth L7): by raising the Stick aloft and reciting the incantation, those of royal blood may don the mystical garb of Ches the Greater, the ancient hero that originally sealed away the evil Limburger clan.
tranquility (Earth L7): now then. just as we were about to capture her, the Lady unleashed a powerful spell on us. i, my guard, Lady Limburger, and her lackeys were all hurled through a portal ripped open by the spell.
tranquility (Earth L7): i know not what happened next, only that when i regained my senses, i had been encased in crystal and half buried in the ground. i believe i have been in stasis for some time now, and it is only by the power of the Ches Stick that i awakened at all. if my companions are in a similar state, i shall have to find them. but also...
IGotASword (Avitria): also???
tranquility (Earth L7): it should be a trivial thing to return to Fromage with the power of the Ches Stick, but i cannot ignore the possibility that Limburger has also landed on this planet and may similarly awaken soon, if she has not already.
tranquility (Earth L7): though they are not my people, i cannot stand by and do nothing should the Lady choose to invade this world.
IGotASword (Avitria): hmm yes yes i think i understand your situation now. so what did you need to know first?
tranquility (Earth L7): i am having difficulty communicating with the Earthlings. though i speak to them, they respond only with strange gestures.
IGotASword (Avitria): they're probably just shy!!! here, this is a traditional greeting used to communicate that you're peaceful: "klaatu barada nikto"
Whatsamana (Earth Q): how on earth do you know that phrase??
IGotASword (Avitria): i read sometimes!!!
tranquility (Earth L7): unfortunately it does not seem to have worked.
IGotASword (Avitria): okay okay try this one: "take me to your leader."
Aphrodite (Galactic Republic): Sword are you taking this seriously?
tranquility (Earth L7): unfortunately that did not work either. the Earthling seems to be dancing.
IGotASword (Avitria): what kind of dance?
tranquility (Earth L7): it is gyrating its head and body, while irregularly flapping its wings
Whatsamana (Earth Q): cripes
Whatsamana (Earth Q): can you describe the earthling
tranquility (Earth L7): it is a large feathered biped with a very long neck. though it has wings, i suspect it is not capable of flight.
IGotASword (Avitria): oh!!! that's not an earthling!!! or, i guess, it is???
IGotABook (Avitria): You are talking to an emu.
IGotABook (Avitria): Or possibly an ostrich. The description sounds like an emu's mating dance, however.
IGotABook (Avitria): It is not sapient.
tranquility (Earth L7): i see. what manner of creature rules over this Earth, then?
IGotABook (Avitria): Humans.
IGotASword (Avitria): they are featherless bipeds!
Whatsamana (Earth Q): who is teaching him this stuff
Aphrodite (Galactic Republic): They should look similar to you. The Hero System only attaches to humanoid heroes.
tranquility (Earth L7): the dominant lifeform on a planet that has had an entirely separate evolutionary history from my home planet, not to mention being in an entirely separate dimension, is physically similar to Fromagians?
tranquility (Earth L7): that sounds unlikely.
Whatsamana (Earth Q): the multiverse’s an unlikely place so get used to it
Whatsamana (Earth Q): hey here's a question for you
Whatsamana (Earth Q): what's the incantation to activate your stick? it's not a secret, is it?
tranquility (Earth L7): the Ches Stick can only be activated by those of royal blood, so it is no large matter to reveal the incantation.
tranquility (Earth L7): the incantation is "Mozzarella Magic."
Whatsamana (Earth Q): it's everything i was hoping for
