Who: Lance & OPEN
When: Late April
What: Settling in, being a nuisance, et cetera.
Where: All over - he’s On The Move.

a; in the far shore

[One of the first thing Lance does, after settling in at Minerva’s temple, is explore the place. He’s sure he’s allowed to - Hifumi won’t mind! And what’s a better way to learn the ropes than to be out there? He wanders through every district, often wearing the distinct armor he woke up with. Sure, he doesn’t know the significance of it, but...it might be a good idea to be protected?

(He has the assumption monsters are common. He might be disappointed, eventually.)

It comes in handy, though, when it comes to exploring the abandoned temples. He clambers up the ruins like a particularly spritely goat, and doesn’t seem to be bothered by all the vines and debris. In fact, if someone runs across him when he’s exploring an old, abandoned temple, they might even hear him laughing like a kid in a candy store.

Otherwise, he’ll just grin and wink at anyone he passes by. Maybe he’ll even throw in a finger gun, if you’re lucky.]

b; in the near shore
Oh, come on.

[Guess who’s in Die Jagd? It’s this guy, and he doesn’t look anywhere near impressed with the surroundings.]

That’s definitely fake. You see this, right? [He says to you, fellow patron.] That looks so cheap - there’s no way that’s real!

[Do you agree with him or not?]

c; wildcard
[Feel free to run into Lance wherever your heart desires! If you want to hash out plans, feel free to poke me at daintily or on discord at nickknack#8156!]

The real curse is the living?

[He chuckles at that, though he knows perfectly well that's not really what was meant.]

Perhaps, but one should never underestimate what might linger in a place like this.

[Smoke starts rising from the array of rocks on the ground, twisting about and forming what could easily be interpreted as faces.]

[thegoofball]

Depending on how you look at it.

[That's not what he means at all, and Lance rolls his eyes again.]

Uh huh. That's a pretty neat trick.

[Is this guy trying to scare him...]

[vaporlike]

There's really no trick to it at all~

[He shrugs as the smoke continues to twist and turn and paint vague pictures as it goes.]

I take it you were brought here from a place where magic isn't so commonplace?

[thegoofball]

Do I look like I'm from a place where magic is commonplace?

[He...doesn't think magic is commonplace where he's from, but he doesn't remember a lot of things. All he knows is that the armor he showed up in seems like something out of a cheesy sci-fi movie, so it's probably safe to assume it's more technological than magical.]

[vaporlike]

I wouldn't want to presume! After all, when one does come from a place where such things are expected, it is very difficult to think of a place where they might not be!

[There's a certain to logic to that. Annoying logic, but still logic. Sort of.]

[thegoofball]

Yeah, of course you wouldn't.

[Geez, what's with this guy!! Lance crosses his arms with a shake of his head.]

So are you some sort of wizard?

[vaporlike]

I feel like "jack of all trades" would be far more appropriate, but that does of course include magic.

[He pulls his pipe out of his sleeve and holds it out over the rocks. The smoke flows up towards the end of the pipe as if it's being sucked in and disappears.]

Though I've picked up a few new tricks since arriving here, of course.

[thegoofball]

[Yeah, whatever, he's totally a wizard and Lance will think of him as such forever.]

Well, you'd hate to get rusty after dying horribly and having nothing better to do.

[That's...one way to look at all of this.]

[vaporlike]

Hm?

[He's fairly certain that isn't what happened to him. But there's also no sense in delving too deeply into the whole matter.]

I haven't really had the opportunity to let any of my skills go unused. Gods, it seems, are terribly busy.

[He hasn't exactly been doing anything the Heavens might want him to do, but he certainly hasn't been idle.]

[thegoofball]

[Everybody dies eventually! Probably.]

You can't be that busy if you have time to do tricks in front of some caved in buildings.

[What's up with that, huh? Seems like you've got plenty of free time from where Lance is standing.]
