1st Trick Shot ~ [Video]

[compromisedarrow]

[The feed cuts on to a disgruntled looking man, mud-splattered, if that's what it is.]

Okay. Two things.

One, where the hell are my clothes?

Two, why am I in Atlantis? 'cause I don't need this right now.

This'd better be a damn fever dream... 'least I still have my bow...

[He'll do this random human a favor and avoid video, because he suspects an alien wearing very little clothing will not help him right now.]

You've been transported through time and space into an isolated city along with many others sharing the same fate, and you arrived in the middle of an event known as a "curse" which will last for a week before your regular items are returned to you.

I tried to be as concise as I could.

[compromisedarrow]

...Okay, this is a fever dream.

[It's official.]

[aim_exorable]

[That earns a light snort.]

I can recall someone else who said the same thing. He realized it wasn't any sort of thing his mind created after he smashed his hand into the coral.

[compromisedarrow]

Yeah, well, dream or no dream, I ain't doing that.

[aim_exorable]

You're wiser than him then. So, what would convince you that this is reality?

[compromisedarrow]

Honestly? I have no idea. The whole thing is just crazy... Last thing, I was in New York, now... I don't even know where.

[aim_exorable]

Understandable.

For now, if I may make a suggestion? It would be best to take care of the more basic needs, such as housing and shelter. I believe that for this curse, there is an inn available for staying in during the week. You won't need to pay.

[compromisedarrow]

First peice of good news I've had in a while. Kinda don't have my wallet on me.

[aim_exorable]

Then you'll be glad to hear more. With the exception of a certain group of shops in a district called the Nostalgia Quarter- [Nook but he will fight to not say that.]- every thing here is free. The locals like to please, you see.

[Also the scientists probably have something to do with it but Darkleer will hold back on that for now.]

[compromisedarrow]

You're not helping the illusion of "dream" here, buddy.

[aim_exorable]

At this point, I don't believe there is much that would. I'm simply telling you the very basic part of this city.

When you're more willing to consider the situation, then we could go more in-depth.

[compromisedarrow]

Maybe after I've had a drink and a shower, and don't think someone's slipped drugs into my food. Because that would explain a lot about the past few days.

[aim_exorable]

As I said- understandable. If you need to contact me again, there is a list of everyone in Vatheon on your communication device. I am Darkleer.

[ Anna might not be very old, but she is pretty sure that when someone asks 'where are my clothes', it means they don't have any on. ]

... Use a towel to cover yourself.

[ Yes, this is a little girl saying this, and the video shows that she's wearing a pretty little slightly armored red... dress, maybe. Its only her head and shoulders, and the edge of her thumbs. ]

Video

[compromisedarrow]

...Ah, no. See. I'm wearing clothes, but not my own.

Video

[aprettyred]

[ Oh, well, that's good.

It would be terribly mean of the coral to kidnap someone from their shower. ]

The coral likes to kidnap people. It decided it wanted to play dress up with us, so maybe it decided to dress you up too.

[compromisedarrow]

['scuse him, he's just going to rub his eye.]

Fever dream. Definitely fever dream.

Video

[aprettyred]

... You dream of upside down fishbowl worlds?

[ ... that is just how she thinks of the bubble, okay. ]

Video

[compromisedarrow]

Not usually, but some crazy stuff's been going on recently

Video

[aprettyred]

... So you're sick?

[ Fever dreams, don't usually dream of fish-bowl worlds. Its not that hard of a jump to make. ]

Video

[compromisedarrow]

Probably. Wouldn't surprise me.

[Who knows what diseases those Chitauri brought with him, not to mention what he's been through.]

Don't feel sick, but if this is a dream, I guess that makes sense.

Video

[aprettyred]

There should be.... a cleric... [ She says it like its a strange new word. ]

somewhere, who can help you be not-sick. I can ... ah..

[ She fiddles with something off the screen. There's another tiny voice talking, but its tiny. Anna sounds like she's repeating something when she speaks up again. ]

.. use Antidote?

Video

[compromisedarrow]

This is crazy...

[He sighs rubbing his eyes again.]

Clerics? This sounds like a video game.

Video

[aprettyred]

Maybe. Do they come with... beast masters, bards, theives, mages and warriors?

[likethetragedy]

For the first? No idea. Maybe they wanted to keep your favorite outfit clean. Enjoy the wardrobe change in the meanwhile. Second? The same reason we all are; no real reason.

[terribubbly]

The coral god Lamufao got that specifically for you. You'll get them back next week.

[ Grinning shark-toothed teenage fishchildren really help make this seem that much more real, don't they? ]

You splashed down in Vatheon just in time for all the fun games! You should come on some quests, you won't level up very well without doing them.

[behind_my_smile]

It's one of the coral's fun games~ It does this every week. Well..not this exactly but it does like to give us something interesting to do. Some people call the curses but I actually find them rather fun for the most part.

I'm guessing you are new! The coral brought you in at a good time! It has created this fun game world and we get to be warriors and mages and all these cool things and go on quests for points! Your bow will definitely come in handy.
