(optional) NOTES

[The sun doesn't so much as rise as flick on with the sudden, glaring brightness of noon. Whatever time keeping device you have on you says its about 8:14am when this happens.

The power's back, but the time on your timekeeping device never really make sense with the position of the sun as it moves across the sky.]

:...I like the sound of that...:

[okay, she WILL snag one. :9]

[it's everything a pancake should be, but crispy and bite-sized]

Personality-wise they're supposed to be noble, proud, kind but ferocious in a fight, untameable except by the pure, and as powerful as a dragon.

:Oh, my goodness. That is the impression a Companion tries to give, I admit...:

All you're missing is the magical horn.

:I wonder if many different worlds have similar people and stories on them, then-- just never quite the same? How strange that would be.:

It'd be strange but y'know, it wouldn't be all that surprising either just from what I've seen around here so far. Lots of overlap.

:It's true. Even your abilities have a bit of overlap with things I've seen.:

Yeah Oh, yeah, shapeshifting and illusions are everywhere. I met a guy who said he met one in space.

[HUMBLY]

:I'm sorry that I do nothing but ask you questions, but-- space?:

Oh, uhhh he moon, the stars, the Sun, and all the other planets are out in space. That big spacey space is... space.

:Oh, I'll have to Google more about that. I've seen some things before.:

[quiet for a while, thoughtful, munching on breakfast]

:What is your home like...?:

Human side or the other side?

:...I suppose, I'd like to see how you answer that question? I'm not familiar with there being two sides to describe, either. Magic and humans existed together, in my world.:

They exist together in some parts, but... the line gets blurry. You can have one human writing their own made-up stories, another human who's convinced he can make a magic potion but no it's really just fancy tea..., and then you'll have a little kid who leaves milk out for brownies cause she saw it in a book once and y'know what, the brownie appreciates that.

:...it doesn't sound like the in-between nature of this place is unfamiliar to you, then.:

Sometimes yeah, sometimes it does a bunch of weirdness that's not right even for me. Last night though? Totally obnoxious tech-wise, but magic-wise I was in the zone.

:Darkness is a good look for you, magically?:

The more weirdly unsettling, the better.

[ruefully]

:You might like it back home. Though-- maybe not. We don't have technology at all.:

Are you calling your home weirdly unsettling?

:Is that what I'm doing... mm, it is sometimes! Maybe more so for Heralds than for most people.:

Oh, huh. Really?

:Heralds are a bit of a special case. They're Chosen by us Companions, and their job is to deal with all the confusing, chaotic things that happen in the Kingdom.:

Deal with like... get rid of, or just general all-purpose dealing with?

:That was your first thought? ...generally deal with, though getting rid of happens often enough!:
