First transmission

A. [ Action | Outside 3476 Erwin Street ]

[Aria has not had a pleasant morning. On top of waking up to find herself in a strange place, in stranger clothes and an even stranger body beside a random human male she now also has no pants. After having a minor panic attack at how disgustingly primitive everything in the house is she's stolen her husbands pants, stolen a jacket and decided to figure out where she is and what the meaning of all of this is.]

B. [ Action| Olney's Tavern ]

[After being slightly unsettled by the ant-like conformity of Erwin Street, Aria has found the Tavern. If the shouting isn't loud enough to be heard by passers by then she certainly can be heard inside the bar giving the drone a piece of her mind about his service.]

C. [ Action| John Doe Park]

[Seeing as she has no where better to be and the biggest open space happens to be the park, hopefully she can find someone here that isn't going to berate her for wearing pants or wanting a drink.]

That's true, or for arson, they do a good job of leveling small buildings.

[But that is old news, she's more entertained by the bow.]

Sport. Interesting, I imagine it's much like target practice with a gun then. Outside of your tree not moving, at all.

[bye_to_yer_head]

About th' same idea. An' if I had movin' targets I'd be using them. You'd be surprised how upset th' drones get when you fill 'em full of arrows.

Also I usually don't get my arrows back that way. And it takes me a while t' make 'em.

[dont_touchmyshit]

[That will get a smirk, she might end up using the drones for target practice if her experience at the bar was any indication.]

You could always just chase them down and pull the arrows out, but that's just a suggestion.

How do you shoot with that?

[bye_to_yer_head]

They usually break 'em.

You really ain't never seen a bow?

Roight. So it's simple. Ya put an arrow against th' string, pull it back, an' off it goes.

*He demonstrates by nocking another arrow and letting fly, hitting the tree dead center.*

[dont_touchmyshit]

No, obviously I haven't seeing as I'm asking about it.

[But once he demonstrates she'll hold out a hand.]

Mind if I try?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He just eyes her hand, not handing over the bow.*

Not with this one ya can't. I made it specifically fer me.

*But still, it might be nice to have someone to shoot against...*

I could show ya on my spare sometime. But not with this one.

[dont_touchmyshit]

[Aria will shrug and cross her arms over her chest.]

Fair enough, I knew men tended to like their guns, I guess it applies to more weapons in general.

[bye_to_yer_head]

In this place it's hard t' replace things. Gotta keep what you like close t' you and make sure nothing happens to it. Or it's bound to disappear one day.

[dont_touchmyshit]

[She'll shake her head at that.]

Seeing as I woke up this morning in a completely different body than my own, I can understand.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Yeah, first day is rough...

Wait what? Back up a second. Different body? What do ya normally look loike?

[dont_touchmyshit]

[Aria will sigh rub her forehead.]

Blue, normally I'm a nice indigo colour without this... hair, and I tend to be taller than this. Not much, but the few inches help.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Yer normally blue. Sure. Roight. Course ya are.

Of course with th' talking ponies and cats and whatever that fish throwing dinosaur is I shouldn't be all that surprised.

If it's any consolation you might suddenly be blue again. This place is wonky like that.

[dont_touchmyshit]

Fish throwing what? I did meet someone who called themselves a nation.

If I do get to be back to myself it'll be one less thing I hate so far about this place.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Dinosaur. Looked like th' Loch Ness monster.

... Don't suppose you know what that is do ya?

[dont_touchmyshit]

Dinosaur...hm...

[Give her a moment she has 650 years of information in that head of hers.]

I believe it's some giant kind of lizard? Then again nothing in this place seems to make much sense, as you've said.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Spot on mate. Like a giant lizard. It waddled around and brought people on my street fish. No idea what for. Good eatin', but other than that...

Anyway. Place is awful, an' yer unfortunately stuck here jus' like the rest of us.

[dont_touchmyshit]

Well that is strange but I wouldn't consider it anything that terrible.

I think I'll be able to handle it, if dinosaurs delivering fish is one of the worst things here.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Actually that was a good day.

Bad days are when there's zombies, or clones of people you thought ya knew. Or even aliens landing and blowing up half th' town.

[dont_touchmyshit]

The last one I've dealt with personally, which is never a good option in any place.

Zombies and clones, well, I guess I'll take it in stride, either that or drop dead. In this body it seems more possible that I'd do that, might be a better option than some others.

Guess I should look into getting a gun.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Don't worry too much about it, you'll come back if ya die. It just takes a while.

There's a gun store, but all you'll be able t' get is 1950's handguns pretty much. Better than nothin' I suppose. Have a rifle from there I'm taking apart and modifying.

[dont_touchmyshit]

Great, just what I wanted to hear.

So I'll be able to get antiques, everything else here is antiquated so I guess it'll fit right in.

[Now she's curious about him modifying the rifle.]

Knowing the type of guns I assume are here, I'm sure you could get creative with modifications.

[bye_to_yer_head]

I had a ... teammate, here before who was good with that kind of stuff. Made me a nice new scope for it, but he seems t' 'ave vanished. Shame.

Right now I'm jus' taking it apart and putting it back together so it don't hit me in the face when I reload. None of 'em here are made for people who are left-handed like me.

[dont_touchmyshit]

That is unfortunate, at the least you have a scope to add to your rifle.

This town is so... ancient. They still make guns that aren't ambidextrous?

[bye_to_yer_head]

They make handguns that way. Not rifles.

I'm almost afraid t' ask what year yer from.

[dont_touchmyshit]

If you really want to know, 2183 CE in Earth's calendar.

At least handguns are ambidextrous, not all hope is lost then.
