The Lost (IC)

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

The halfling has to jump to reach the envelope but is able to do so without undue effort. Inside is a ring of keys and a letter, written in English. Annika reads aloud the following:

My friends,

Please accept my sincere apologies for not warning you about what was to happen. I am sorry for any distress you suffered, but I really had no choice: Had I warned you, you never would have believed me. As I am sure you have gathered by now, you are in the world on which I modeled the game we were about to play. Except it never has been just a game.

I have always had the ability to see into another world-- this world that you are now in, since you are reading this. Quite clearly, I am not the only one who has ever had these visions, although I flatter myself by feeling that no one has ever had them so clearly. Not that it is ever terribly clear; the different time rates of our two worlds have always made events on the other side-- your side now-- seem to happen so quickly that they are difficult to follow, even when my fleeting visions are so powerful that they overwhelm my senses.

My friends, I hunger for this world; given the chance, here, I know that I would be the most powerful wizard that this world has ever known. Were I able to transfer myself, as I did you, I would have. But I can't. Believe me when I say that I have tried.

I would be very surprised if you all are not angry with me right now. But please try to understand: With what I know from my visions, I could be the greatest wizard, the most powerful user of magic that this world has ever known; instead, I find myself in the grips of academia, this world hovering in front of me like a ripe fruit behind glass.

But there is a way across. In this world there is a device known as the World Well-- this well acts as a gateway between universes. I ask that you find this well, and bring me through. In return, I promise to gratify your every wish.

To make this possible, I've seen that you will be equipped well. Inside this envelope, along with this letter, you will have found a set of keys. Eleven keys for the Eleven chests-- one for each of you. Each chest contains an inventory of what you have, so you don't have to waste time determining the effects of the equipment bestowed upon you. I daresay you will find the gear valuable, and certainly far more so than your 'level' would dictate. Please believe me when I say I've done everything I can to help you succeed. These treasures will enable you to find and reach the Well, and help you subdue its guardian so that you can bring me through with ease. Please take the equipment as partial apology for what I have done.

When you bring me through, you will receive the rest of my apology. Those among you foolish enough to wish to return to our dull, drab world will be given a ton-- literally-- of gold. At the current exchange rate, that equates to nearly 25 million dollars. And for those of you who wish to remain with me, I promise to gratify your every wish. And I mean that quite literally.

Yrs,

Merlin Benson.

[dauphinous]

Hannah takes whatever hands are offered to her and gets to her feet. She nods to Kate. It could only be Kate. None of the others would talk like that. None of the others would suggest they 'dance'. She wraps her arms around Kate and hugs her tightly. "It's all back. It all works. It's all there. Ten years, and it all works again." She stands back again and, not giving a crap about modesty, pulls her robes partway open, looking down at her chest. "No scars. There's no scars at all." Then she laughs, giddy, while pulling it shut again. This was her dream. The one thing she wanted more than anything.

"I'm going to Disneyland."

She marches in place while the others keep talking, only now starting to listen to them. She is about to say something when Annika starts to read the letter, and she shuts her mouth until the halfling is finished. "He already did! He already gave me everything I want. How could I be mad? I hope there's a map so we can get to him soon! I have to thank him."

[Daryk]

Aaron

Aaron inhaled sharply when he suddenly found himself standing instead of sitting. He was startled at how quickly his balance returned, and was quizzically looking at his robes when he heard Kate shout "Get Down!". Again, he was surprised at how quickly his reflexes brought him to the stone floor. Lying there, waiting for another flash or an attendant explosion, he realized just how cold the floor was, and that he wasn't wearing any underwear. "Commando?" he muttered to himself as the seconds drew on with naught but nervous conversation from the others. When Brandon said "sound off", he responded automatically with "Zimmerman!". As Aaron rolled back to his feet, Kate was listing what she could see, and he reached up to feel his face and head. Haircut was normal, just short enough to not need a comb. Stubble was completely lacking. Ears were pointed (!). Everything else about his body felt and looked normal, with the exceptions of his apparently much faster reflexes, improved balance, and a definite lack of body hair and scars. His voice sounded normal, at least so far. Convincing himself he was at least physically all right, he focused on the rest of the conversations swirling around, and moved over to stand near the woman who had to be Kate. It was going to take time to get to know everyone again, it seemed.

As Annika (?) finished reading the letter, Aaron held out a hand and asked, "Could I see the letter please?"

[mdsoze]

Alastair

Douglas/Alastair walks across towards the boxes, hearing the words.

Well... this is a dilemma. If we want to return home, we have to unleash a supremely powerful magic user on this universe. It almost seems like a devil's bargain. We've been put in quite the compromising position.

Of course... it does seem strange that he started us at level 5. You'd think he'd have told us it was an epic game?

He scratches his head again, and turns around, and finds himself looking at Gwen.

You have any thoughts on this conundrum? I'm overwhelmed.

[Alicorn]

Annika/Persis

"That rotten bastard. I have a family," snarls Annika to herself as she finishes the letter. "I have friends, I have a life, I have to make rent or I'll lose my apartment, no amount of swag could make up for this. This had better be a damn serious time difference. My rent is due in two weeks." Nevertheless, she starts fumbling with the proportionately overlarge keys and trying them in padlocks. "He didn't even label these things."

[Wiz]

Diedre

The former Bill smiles, seeing how happy Hannah is, he looks up at Kate and nods, "You're fixed too!" She smiles at Kate's offer of help and stands, a little clumsily, her center of balance obviously different than what it used to be. She frowns again, recalling the change she has gone through. When Peter speaks up, she looks over at him, listening to his long speech, but she abruptly looks away as if something is bothering her. Finally, when Annika reads the letter she smiles, very slightly. "So we might be able to end this if we wish, or at least modify it to something a bit more comfortable." She walks over to Annika, "I don't think your family or landlord will miss you... he said the time rate here was much faster. I hope you can figure the chests out, maybe there's a +5 bra in mine that will make moving around a little easier?" She snortlaughs, erasing all doubt that it's still Bill in there.

[McSherrie]

"Just a minute, Annika." Kim, revelling in the strength present in Antiope's body, unstacks the boxes, laying them out in a straight line to make it easier to open them.

[mdsoze]

Douglas

Douglas smirks at Bill/Deidre.

But you look so beautiful in the natural cavelight like that, your curves in their natural form.

[McSherrie]

"Bi...Died... Whatever you want to be called, I will help you tie up Douglas later, if that is your wish."

[Wiz]

Diedre

She shakes her head, "Everyone just call me Diedre... my character's name. Bill is just stupid at this point and I don't think I could take Billie." She turns to look at Douglas, "I've been a woman for maybe five minutes and suddenly I understand Women's Liberation." She looks back to the lined up chests to see if she can figure out how they are coded to the individuals.

[wxdruid]

Gwen

Gwen senses that Alastair is addressing her. She turns and sits, hugging her knees. One hand pushes the mass of hair back behind one long pointed ear. She looks up at him, I don't know. I don't know what to think.

[mdsoze]

Alastair

I apologize for my lewdness, Diedra. I just found the humor of the situation too strong not to make some sort of remark. And Antiope, and Hannah, and Persis, and Gwen, and any other females I might have offended. I'm not a cad.

Sensing Gwen needs comforting, Alastair sits by her, letting others sort through the boxes. He will move one of his hands towards her, and puts it on her knee if she does not recoil from him.

I'm not sure any of us know. This is... unbelievable. And yet, here we are. I am somehow transformed, as are you. But... you are a druid. You seek balance in all things. You have great inner strength. I think here... we have to embrace our characters, while not losing ourselves. I know it seems difficult, but it is probably what we will need to do to survive.

Hannah takes whatever hands are offered to her and gets to her feet. She nods to Kate. It could only be Kate. None of the others would talk like that. None of the others would suggest they 'dance'. She wraps her arms around Kate and hugs her tightly. "It's all back. It all works. It's all there. Ten years, and it all works again."

I hope there's a map so we can get to him soon! I have to thank him."

Brandon/Hithos

"Double edged sword, Hannah. Remember, the Professor said he'd be the most powerful mage in the world on this side. Not that one. Think he could swing this body in that world? Although, we could probably invent Disney over here." Brandon laughs ruefully. "Anyone ever read A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court? He then sighs, and looks at Annika. "Let's just use all the keys on the boxes. If Merlin really wants to be drug over here, he won't have trapped the boxes. We'll fairly quickly figure out what goes to who. Mine will have an instrument, Kate will get a cleric symbol, stuff like that. He said there are lists, so there's also probably names as well."

If given, Brandon will take the keys and start trying to pop the locks on the chests.

Brandon moves to take the letter for Hannah's character to give it to her, but pauses. "Heh, you don't need that kind of help anymore, do you Hannah?" He then takes the letter marked for Hithos and reads it.

Since the server isn't cooperating, and delayed the edit of my last post so much, I'm posting the edit seperately.

When Annika(?) finished reading the letter, Aaron extended a hand and asked, "May I see the letter please?"

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

It takes Annika a few tries to find the right key for each lock. Each one opened to reveal a letter lying on top of a pile of fabric-- presumably with more equipment underneath. Each letter has the name of one of the characters in English: Gwenivere, Diedre, Alastair, Antiope, Meredzul, Beleg, Hithos, Emmerli, Anya, Quanos, and Persis-- by some quirk of fate, the halfling opened her box last.

(OK, due to some weird board glitches-- I really hate this site sometimes-- there are some time discontinuities. I'm going to ignore them, and move forward from here.)

[Alicorn]

Annika/Persis

"Please call me Annika," says Annika to Doug. "At least while we aren't around any natives. I'll probably have to go by Persis in public." She roots around in her box, looking for her new possessions.

Brandon/Hithos

Brandon grabs the letter with his name? his own chararacter's name on it and begins reading.

[McSherrie]

Kim moves towards her box and sits next to it. While the ledger is tempting, logically it is more important to find clothing that is more socially acceptable than the flimsy white robe, so she digs through her box looking for something to put on.

Once she has her clothes, she will duck behind a rock to get dressed. Then it is on to the ledger.

[wxdruid]

Gwen

Although normally a very standoffish person, Gwen does feel the need for human contact and she leans towards Alastair when he reaches out to touch her knee. I know, a part of me is yearning for the open sky, for the green grass. The other half wants to go home to all my conveniences, to my room, my books. I feel so small. *sigh* Should I call you Alastair or Douglas? She looks up at him, trying to smile.

[Loghren the Barbarian]

Peter / Meredzul

Not knowing what else to say to anyone, Peter walks over to the box of his items. He removes the clothes, bunching them into his hands, and then glances to see the remainder of what's in his box. Only after looking at everything does he realize he doesn't know what anything is. Peter looks around the cave for a place to change and, if he finds one, changes into what are to be his new clothes (whatever they may be). He then returns to look at his list to determine what everything is.

[mdsoze]

Alastair

You may call me what you wish, but I think I am going to prefer Alastair while we are here. I know. I feel the same division. The call for a sword, and the call for normalcy. But I think.... I think we won't survive if we don't try to adapt. How about we go see what our boxes hold?

Alastair stands, and offers Gwen a hand up.

[wxdruid]

Gwen

She gratefully accepts a hand up, Yes...despite everything, I am curious what he thought I would like to have. She's working on adjusting, it was a rather sudden transfer. Once up, she wanders over to her box and takes out the papers and peers inside, pushing aside the cloth on top.

[TwoCents]

Kate

Kate walked over the the box with her name on it and carefully looked within, touching nothing. On top, almost twinkling at her, was a holy symbol. "What?" Kate whispered, cupping her hands over her ears.
"What?" She paused, and seemed to be listening just at the edge of her hearing. She slapped the side of her face and shook her head. "Darndest thing. The ringing has stopped, but now there's this buzzing..." She poked at her ear again, and then froze. "Oh god. Oh, gods!"

Kate threw her head back, picked up the symbol, raised her hands to the heavens, and began a deep and heartfelt laugh. She cried out, "I am a cleric in a world where the Gods truly walk the earth! They are here, with us! Can you feel Them? Can you hear Them? Zeus, Father of the Heavens, Ruler of the Sky, Bringer of Lightning, I honor you! Hera, Queen of Heaven, Goddess of Women, care for us! Athena, Daughter of Zeus, Goddess of Combat, Giver of Wisdom, protect us! Tyche, Bella Fortuna, Luck Incarnate, She who gives us the chance of success in the face of certain doom, I serve You. I am Emmerli al-Uruk, a priestess of Luck, in a world where Luck is Real!" Throwing her hands out to indicate them all, Kate continued, "May luck bless us all in our journey." Suddenly, for no apparent reason other than overwhelming happiness, she began to sing in a voice clearly trained, but for a higher register than the voice her current body enjoyed, "Luck be a Lady tonight; Luck, if you've ever been a Lady to begin with Luck be a Lady tonight!" She danced a few steps of an impromptu jig and then laughed again.

OOC: Although it's not detailed assume that all the clothing sets come with all the necessary accessories-- socks, undergarments, etc-- appropriate for the a medieval/renaissance time period. (Sorry WIz, no bras) Also, I'm not going to bother tracking Haversack carry weight. For the intents and purposes of this game it has an unlimited capacity.

[McSherrie]

After Kim has slipped into a pair of pants and a tunic, she goes back to her box and opens the letter. "Oh. Oh my. Well, at least the professor did his best to see that we would be well equipped in this world..." She begins sorting through her equipment, putting on more gear as she goes.

[wxdruid]

Gwen

Once Gwen has everything out and spread around her. First she braids her hair and ties it with a small piece of leather. Then she promptly shucks off the white robe and pulls on the shift and green linen travel clothes with the druid vestments on top and over it all, the hide armor. Although she doesn't have familiarity with putting on armor, she lets her hands do the work, her other half seems very familiar with it. She puts on the 2 rings and the silver pendant. She very much likes the emerald and tiger's eye, they appeal to both of her halves. She puts the shoes and socks back into the pack.

She lets her other half arm herself, putting on the holder for the javelins and putting on the belt that holds the scimitar, the wand and the rod. It takes a while, but as long as she doesn't actively try to help herself, it all goes rather well. Once she gives everything the once over, it all goes carefully back into the pack, with the small items in the side pockets and the heavy ones in the main area. She's very glad for the pack since it won't weigh her down. She's already finding the weapons do that quite well.

At least we have a bit of money...and a ton of stuff. I wonder what's outside? She's beginning to feel rather anxious to get out of the cave. Once she has everything packed and on, she starts looking around for where to go out...Anything to occupy her time rather than sit and think about exactly what's happening to her.

[Alicorn]

Annika/Persis

The halfling finds a concealed spot behind her box and a conveniently placed pair of stalagmites to change into her new clothes. She folds up the white robe neatly to save it as a nightshirt. She also takes a moment to put a half-dozen little braids in Persis's long (for her height), straight, graham-cracker-brown hair, and then pulls braids and loose hair alike into a ponytail. May as well look the part. Then she dons all of her worn swag, admiring several of the items before putting them on. Somehow, she knows how to make all of the various straps of sheaths and her backpack and her quiver and her belt crisscross her little body without their being inextricable or tugging anywhere. She emerges from behind her box. "Is is just me, or are all of us females lacking in the upper body undergarment department?" she asks.

[Wiz]

Diedre

Diedre looks over the list of equipment that the professor left her. She lets her mind range over the Diedre persona as she looks in her backpack. I think Diedre is smarter than me... I mean, I know I wrote her up with an 18 intelligence, but it's wierd how everything seems much clearer in her memory than in mine. She spots one item on the list, and immediately reaches into the backpack for it, pulling it out, right on top. Just like Heward made it... before his name got stricken from the pack! She dons the headband, and her eyes go wide. Oh my god, imagine if I'd had this before taking my finals! She takes herself to a dark corner to get dressed.
