Text, un: Anduin Wrynn

[shalamayne]

Greetings to all who read this.

I would first and foremost like to extend my gratitude to those who reside here, to give my thanks to those who have helped me settle in this place. I find many things to be strange and trying to learn them in such an environment has often proved to be tricky. I see there are people here helping others and that alone gives me hope.

Are you all doing well? All things considered, anyone could be forgiven for feeling a little under the weather.

I suppose it is common courtesy to ask a question of things unknown on this thing and I will not deny that I am always curious to know such things. So, if you are comfortable then please leave a message here with a random truth about yourselves. Nothing is too vague.

A random truth?

[ Anduin Wrynn are you fishing for information about people here?

Good show! ]

[shalamayne]

Of course.

How good of you to offer to go first.

[ It's not digging, it's just learning about those he will be sharing a town with!]

[blackscales]

I think you should lead by example.

[ Two can play at this game! ]

[shalamayne]

Alright then.

I look more like my mother than my father.

[ No shame.]

[blackscales]

Certainly you have little of Varian in you, aside from perhaps stubbornness.

[ Also no shame. ]

[shalamayne]

I am nowhere near as stubborn.

Are you dodging the question so soon?

[blackscales]

I'm merely engaging in a conversion you began.

Doing well as anyone could be at the moment. It's been weird twoish months, for sure.

Oh! For the random truth thing: I like gardening. If I get the chance, I'd like to start a flower garden but only after I tackle the whole 'needing new clothes' thing first. That feels a bit more important. [ but not as fun, alas. ]

[shalamayne]

Of course, I find myself feeling a similar way over the last two months.

That is a great truth and I feel this place would benefit greatly from a flower garden. Not only would it be something to tend to, but it would be something many can contribute to as well.

...Needing new clothes?

[sunborne]

[ do not go into a rant, daylight. do not go into a rant. do not go into a rant- breathe. ]

Yeah. I don't know why it happened but I ended up growing two more feet overnight. I'm now, like, eight feet tall and a walking hazard in my own house. It's a headache to deal with right now.

[ ... it's not too much of a rant? ] The most I can tell myself is that it could be worse. It's a pain to fine clothes but it doesn't stop me from doing other things. Like plan the future flower garden I have in mind. If you ever want to hop in on the project, let me know. Always happy to include others in it.

[shalamayne]

Eight foot? That certainly is a little above average height, I can only commiserate with the problems it is causing you. Just be sure to check doorways before you walk through them. I know some who are tall and they have all said that was a problem.

I'm glad it doesn't prevent you from doing what you wish to and that you can see an opportunity in this place. I would be glad to offer my assistance with the gardening though I will admit I have never tried it before.

[sunborne]

There's always a first time for everything. Whether it's relearning to not slam heads into doorways and learning how to care for a flower garden, it's never too late to try something new. (Or old that's now new? Something like that.)

And speaking of learning- You're used to giants? Really? Are you guys super tall where you're from?

[shalamayne]

Of course, I am always willing to learn things, even new ones.

I'm considered average sized but I know beings much taller than myself. There are some that are extraordinarily tall and some who are more short in stature but all the more amazing for it.

[fanoperator]

I'm unharmed, settling in, and grateful for small mercies.

My random truth is that I love to dance, but it wasn't considered an acceptable or dignified activity for someone in my position back home.

[shalamayne]

That is an optimistic take on things and a good one at that. Taking one day at a time can be a great help.

Really? Back home dancing is part of socializing. I know some who would think themselves above it, but it was never frowned upon.

[fanoperator]

In my homeland, respected men do not dance. Some respected women may dance, but only as a for a higher-ranked audience.

I suppose since I'm considered a woman here, perhaps it is allowed. No one from home is around to tell me I can't, afterall.

[shalamayne]

I know for a fact that royalty are taught to dance when they are young.

I believe anyone is allowed to dance here regardless of gender. Dance to your heart's content.

[fanoperator]

I will. I hope to learn some of the local styles of dance, or perhaps some of the styles of dance from different homelands like yours.

Do you dance?

[shalamayne]

That would be an interesting thing to learn here, I don't believe it would be as...strange as things can get.

I learned how to dance but I have not done so in a while.

My name is Gator McKlusky
I was serving time in prison for a moonshine operation and my brother Donny was recently murdered
Now I'm out for revenge

text @wrynn

[shalamayne]

That certainly is something. Though I must ask how your revenge seems to be going in this place.

[undiagnosed]

Probably a lot better when I find a corrupt sheriff to beat the shit out of
Or a moonshine operation to run for
I'm not picky

[shalamayne]

I see. For what it is worth I am sorry for your loss.

"Moonshine"? Which kind of moonshine are you talking of?

[undiagnosed]

The alcohol
What else?

[shalamayne]

I had a feeling it was that and not the literal sense, though it is best to double check these things.
