	Niamh	. . .  Speaking of existing.
	Niamh	It seems the prediction made earlier was, infact, correct!  The sudden alerting siren of a new, unregistered portal being torn open within the portal room would sound out, a less-than-stable one flickering to life in a nice, deep orangish red, the very presence of it giving off a vague semblance of heat from the other side.
	Nichos	Ruby: Oh- well there we are
	Niamh	Nobody is coming through.  A rock, however, is tossed through.  /Thunk/
	Nichos	Ruby: *gently paps Thanatos off her lap before getting up and heading to the portal room*
	Thanatos_	is... further passed out and doesn't seem to be intent on getting up. Laying on Ruby's lap had made her sleepy, so she's going to be sitting this one out.
	Tom_Atlus	...
	Tom_Atlus	stares down at the rock that's been tossed thorugh, glancing to Ruby before pointing at the rock, then pointing at the portal?
	Tom_Atlus	.......
	Tom_Atlus	lightly nudges the rock back along with a small piece of candy.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *comes across this display* ....Erm, Tom? What are you doing?
	Niamh	It denies the candy. For you see, it is but a simple Pumice stone.  And is by all accounts just a rock.
	Niamh	...  At least the portal is forming into something a bit more stable as time went on.  Was somebody actively working on it on the other side? Probably. There's less unstableness and flickering.
	Tom_Atlus	** No no, as in, he pushes the rock back /through/ the portal, alongside a piece of candy.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Looks like someone's opening a portal /to/ us... there should be defenses against that... *she heads over to a console and starts tapping away* Spatial Bridge is stabilizing... whoever's on the other side is actively forming this portal...
	Niamh	Oh.  Well, a balled up wrapper was flicked through into Tom's face.
	Nichos	Ruby: I think your offering was accepted, deshi
	Tom_Atlus	blinks, and then pokes his head through
	Tom_Atlus	Hello, who accepted the candy-
	NeonProdigy	Nell: /Tom don't just stick your head through/
	Niamh	Followed by a face poking through. Pale skin, wide, almost solidly black eyes, with a piercingly orange pupils.  Staring for a little, at... Tom's Crotch, as Tom stares through /above/ her.     Because the one looking is kinda small. "... Man, things are dark over here."
	NeonProdigy	Nell: ........ *gently sighs and smacks her face. Ah well, Tom's crotch isn't /too/ bad of a sight...*
	Nichos	Ruby: *grabs Tom's shirt and pulls him back*
	Nichos	Ruby: Hello.
	Niamh	Meanwhile, Tom is greeted by... A village, of sorts- the portal encircled by a heat that could only really be described as 'Sweltering', and 'Volcanic' in a sense- Of course, it was only a plains, and a tribe-like circles of huts and tents, but, the people there... Were sorta paused, each one of the ones surrounding the portal, itself, were staring at Tom.
	Tom_Atlus	Oh, hello! Wow it's hot HEUARGH-
	Tom_Atlus	is yanked straight back out of sight.
	Niamh	Ruby is gonna have some pullback as Tom's shirt, the front of it, was grabbed by two sets of arms- A rather tall, obsidian-clad warrior is tugging him back.
	Niamh	The small one is slipping back in. "Why? Why are you running? Get back in here if you're poking your head in." ... They weren't sounding hostile, at least.
	Niamh	A bit confused, really.
	Tom_Atlus	Oh, ah, friends back there are a little upset at me for doing a thing without consulting them first, my mistake really, I'll confer with them and be back out in a jiffy!
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *sighs* It sounds safe enough. You might as well let him go, Ruby. *she heads over to the portal as well* Shall we see what is going on, then? *she smiles brightly at Tom and Ruby*
	Nichos	Ruby: This is absurd... *she does so, and walks through*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *follows, helping keep Tom balanced and steady as she drags him the rest of the way through*
	Tom_Atlus	Oh- never mind there we go then!
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Tom, we don't stick our head through unknown portals...
	Niamh	As they walked through, they'd be met with a similar sight-  Intense heat, a nice, comfortable looking village set up amongst the grassy plains and the few tall, looming trees- Each looking rather swiftly put up, and just as easily taken down. A nomadic tribe, of sorts.. And.That tribe, as a whole, was more or less staring-
	Niamh	Some were tall, standing well above seven foot, and just as bulky as one might expect from somebody trained as a warrior, Clad in sleek, glinting armor of Obsidian, and rough Volcanic rock sewn into armor- And decorated with colored fur that covered the neck, the flowing low along it’s back, and highlighting the arms-
	|<--	Zoe_Laptop has left irc.rizon.net (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
	Niamh	Some were a bit more squat, less armored and much... Softer to look at, with thin, rather beautiful draped clothing, closer to robes than anything.  They, too, had similar wings- Looking as if they were hewn from the very lifeblood of the earths crust-  Yet not giving off that deadly heat one might expect from lava of any sort, and... Looking rather soft, itself.  Bristled like fur. Among these, of course...
	Niamh	Stood two in the front. The one who had previously stuck her head through, who was now sat upon the shoulder of another, much taller one.   Her insectoid eyes were narrowed, scanning over the two with a certain interest that came with a dull, trilled hum. "'S that what we get...?"    Her seat gave a little laugh, and patted a thigh. "Ah, ah.. Don't go judging yet, hm? You ate whatever they threw through." His voice shined through rather beautiful
	Niamh	deep, if somewhat... Raspy tone.    It had a nice chime to it, at least. And was pleasant to listen to.
	Tom_Atlus	I didn't say it earlier but, this place is genuinely really beautiful, by the way. Wow, the heat hits you fast though...
	Tom_Atlus	gives the collective group a deep bow of greetings
	Tom_Atlus	Hello, everyone. I am Thomas Nemamiah Atlus, a Klosvyr Krozmafskra of the Frosskine Empire.
	Tom_Atlus	I come with peaceful tidings!
	NeonProdigy	Nell: I'm Eleanor Castello, but you can call me Nell!
	Niamh	???_(Female): "Hey, they offered it!" Huff huff. The fluffy-haired female shifted forwards, those fan-like antennae atop her head twitching forwards as she jabbed a finger forwards. "I want more, later,  ... Er. Uh- "  ... Greetings.  "Right."  She, notable, didn't quite have the same 'colors' to her fur as most. Hers was much brighter, a dull, golden-like yellow accenting the otherwise dark reds and browns.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: You heard her, Tom. You'd better have more candy ready for her~
	Niamh	Down she'd drop, shifting forwards and offering one of four arms forwards, a little point, while the other three crossed her body.  "Tol-Kvan Jhal.  Yer' stepping through my portal, so! That's a success, right?" And a glance over her shoulder followed.
	Niamh	???_(Male): "Seems like it... Got through without something bisecting them, or... Well, destroying something we threw through. Progress, at least..."  The male, too, had a certain tinge of color to his armor-  Striped, almost tribal patterns were carved throughout it, straight lines that each held a different color- Three, specifically, that shined through the magma-like points along his body. A nice, pretty sea-like green, a blood-like red, and
	Niamh	'A nice, pretty sea-like green, a blood-like red, and hints of purple speckled throughout the glass-like surface. (Cause that cut off)
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Mm! I'm curious how you made your portal actually! This is the first time one's ever come to us /purposefully/ like that!
	Niamh	"Tol-Maa Mirael. We greet you, outsiders... Ah.. Welcome to our humble little home, while we test things, yes?  We hope you're as peaceful as you say... I'd hate to have some trouble come from that."  ... Because they're clearly rather prepared.  They had the guard ready and everything.
	=-=	Niamh is now known as Tol-Maa
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *holds up her hands, showing off her lack of weapons* Very peaceful, yes!
	Nichos	Ruby: My name is Sunagakure no Rubi. It is a pleasure to meet you all
	Nichos	Ruby: You are to be commended here, it is rare that anyone is able to intentionally create a stable portal to our home.
	Tol-Maa	"I'd say I know, but that's up to the Jhal to say. They're doing it, after all." Rub rub the back of his head.  For a second, he'd stand- Before that helmet, and the armor itself, began to glow hotter, before  being drawn back along his body to leave him in much more comfortable position- Namely... Some rather beautiful, silken clothing.
	Tol-Maa	He carried that same sort of color-pallet, too. Nice and pretty.
	Thanatos_	** There seemed to be one among them, hanging back, and staring at the crew from afar. Different from the rest in colouration for the most part, this one appeared to be a striking, deep and bright blue, hanging back and keeping eyes focused as if to size their guests up.
	Tol-Maa	Tol-Kvan: "It's a work in progress- And uh... A complete accident." Scratching her chin, she'd wander on up, the 5' even girl eyeing Tom up, specifically, before moving on to Nell..  "Portal tech is kinda rare."
	Tol-Maa	Tol-Kvan: "So, after seeing some of it myself in an expedition of sorts, I'm piecing together how it worked. You just happened to get a lock, and, there the thing went!"  Leaning back, she huffed, two arms circling behind her head as she shut her eyes. "Kinda stood out, I think it happened automatically."
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *stands nearly as tall as Tol-Maa, at a good 7ish feet, she smiles down at her* Oh I see! Yes, our systems must have detected the forming bridge and auto-completed it...
	Tol-Maa	"Yer' free to look at it. I'd love a tip or two, if you've got them... But, We're just tryin' our best here, me and the other Jhal."  a shrug followed, pointing with one of the lower limbs. "Sounds like it. We sent a dummy signal out and it took it right up."
	Nichos	Ruby: Is that a thing that can happen? Interesting
	Tol-Maa	...Of course, the portal they were talking about didn't look like it should work by any means- After all, it was made of rocks, more or less.  Along with a few other things that weren't quite as noticeably, but, by looks alone? It was a weird thing.
	Nichos	Ruby: *sees nothing wrong with this. She's used to magical shit*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *tilts her head, brows furrowed, hand on her chin. She's with Ruby, this looks like it's either powered by magic or there's some serious tech underneath the rocks or something.....????*
	Tol-Maa	Tol-Maa gave a little shrug, his hangs reaching up behind his head to begin fluffing out that long, immensely soft poof of hair that sprang free from his armor, he'd sigh. "Things are as they are. We don't have the biggest understanding yet, ourselves.. But, ah- I have to thank you for stepping through. And for the compliments you've given us. You're welcome to stay, explore a little..."
	|<--	The_Reptile_ has left irc.rizon.net (Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.)
	Tol-Maa	A little glance to the side followed, eyeing that blue one in the distance.  Before glancing back to the group. "We welcome outsiders whole-heatedly, more often than not.  Although, that usually applies to our own..."

	Nichos	Ruby: That is very gracious of you. Likewise, you are welcome to come through our side as well. *she follows the glance to the blue one, taking note of them*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *smiles and bows to him* We appreciate your kind reception! *she tries /not/ to glance at the blue one as everyone else does. Staring is rude!*
	Tol-Maa	"I think an exception can be made, hm?"  With that, he'd give a little wave of his arms.    Already the hype is dying down, and, the villagers are... Keeping weary, but moving on. It's not so crowded, at least.      Business as usual.   Tol-Maa, himself, is giving a graceful bow. "Feel free to look around. I've got to go alert the Vogrojhal."
	Tol-Maa	And... That he does, turning a little and stepping away towards one of the larger yurts.  Leaving them with the little one.
	=-=	Tol-Maa is now known as Tol-Kvan
	Tol-Kvan	... Nell is getting a prod on the leg, followed by one to Ruby. "Hey, hey. So, what exactly is the other side like?"
	Nichos	Ruby: *looks down* Hm, it can be hard to explain, depending on your context...
	NeonProdigy	Nell: It's like a big boat floating in the middle of nothing.
	Tol-Kvan	"But, you sound like you've got a pretty good handle on things? Better than us and our slap-dash portal making."
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Slap-dash huh...... ( *internally:* I don't even know /how/ you got it working!!! If only it was Akira or Cier here they'd have a better idea of how the hell this works.......!)
	Tol-Kvan	"..I'll have to just peek in, later. We're not supposed to go jumping through till the debates are settled, and, things are figured out."  Stepping back, she'd sorta... Wave all four of her chitinous arms back towards the rest of the village as it started back up into the usual motions of life, as if they /didn't/ just bet a bunch of weirdos on their doorsteps.
	Tol-Kvan	"Till then, like the big one said, feel free to stick around, or don't. Regardless, I'm happy to sit around and siphon some knowledge offa you two and show you around... Till the feast that'll probably come about, later."
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Do you mind if I ask what debates they're having?
	Tol-Kvan	..." Y'know, after things are talked through."   scratch scratch.  She's turning.
	Tol-Kvan	"If we should trust y'all, and if an envoy would be worth it."  A little glance over her shoulder followed. "I think so, just because we could probably learn a thing or two... Spread a bit of our influence. But, some are a bit more obstinate and isolationist."
	Tol-Kvan	"It's shaky ground, y'know? With Non Jala-Kohl.
	Tol-Kvan	"*
	Nichos	Ruby: Well if it is a question of trust, perhaps I may be of assistance in laying your fears to rest
	Nichos	Ruby: *certainly does seem to be a very charming, likeable person. To humans, at least. Moth people, who knows*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Mm, well, Ruby is good at that, yes. I won't try and intrude, as its your people's decision to make, but I like to hope we'd make good allies and... neighbors? We'll go with neighbors! ;^_^
	Tom_Atlus	Neighbors at least sounds nice, yes. *He says, giving Tol a small bow*
	Thanatos_	** Even if the others have moved on, the blue one is still staring, vaguely. They seem to be keeping their distance from the others as well.
	Tom_Atlus	I will say, that I'm happy to provide my services as a healer, if you have any that are ill or in need of treatment.
	Tom_Atlus	But, that can come later, of course.
	Tol-Kvan	"Mnh... Maybe." She'd sorta huff, still turned away with a bit of a squint... At the blue one.   She's giving a little beckon, and a little stare of 'You gonna be weird and stare all day?'
	Tol-Kvan	"Might be helpful things to mention... Mhn, I can take you, if you really want? But that's your choice, I ain't gonna go stepping in myself."   Turning to face them again, she'd split into a wide sorta grin. "They'll talk to everybody over dinner, and, you are all joining."
	Tol-Kvan	"It's a celebratory thing- Since we succeeded in getting /somewhere/ finally."

	Nichos	Ruby: Ah, that sounds splendid
	Thanatos_	** They grimace, but approach. Their movements are efficient, not much wasted on idle movements, but elegant in a way. They were also quite fluffy, and upon drawing closer... Very, very feminine, if intense. A woman, evidently.
	Thanatos_	???: Didn't think it'd be weird to stare at newcomers. The whole of this place did.
	Nichos	Ruby: *bows her head in greetings* Hello.
	Tol-Kvan	"It ain't.  But you were just sorta... Looming."   Trailing off, she'd give a bit of a solid stare at Ruby. She's squinting a little as one finger scratched at her cheek, while the others crossed across her midsection.
	Thanatos_	???: ... Hi. *She didn't seem too outwardly friendly at all.*
	Tol-Kvan	"Not that that's wrong, but, weird to me. I just get a bit excited, I guess." ... Pause. "Y'still wanna go poking your nose places?"

	Nichos	Ruby: *tries and bears through it* May we have your name, miss?
	Thanatos_	** She clicked her tongue. "Xolotl-Itzli Ygro. The local outsider."
	=-=	Thanatos_ is now known as Xolotl-Itzli

	|<--	RepMob has left irc.rizon.net ()
	Nichos	Ruby: Well then, we have something in common, to an extent. It is a pleasure to meet you as well
	Xolotl-Itzli	didn't really respond much to that, but didn't seem to like the statement about them having things in common. She's just crossing both sets of arms and staring slightly closer than she was before.
	Tol-Kvan	"She's a bit prickly."  Chimed Kvan, turning a little to stare at the rest of the village-  It seems, as they spoke, that the numerous others of the village have gone about their duties preparing things for the eminent meal. Some carrying cuts of meat that were... Rather large, along with a few boxes into one of the larger, communal Yurts.
	Tom_Atlus	... I like the names. They're quite pretty.
	Tol-Kvan	Glancing back, she'd sorta... Give Itzli A bit of a look. Prod prod... "You aren't some outsider anymore, you know. You don't have to act like you are."  That's a little grin, leaning away just in case.
	Xolotl-Itzli	gave Kvan a Look(tm). "... I wonder about that sometimes."
	Nichos	Ruby: *tilts her head, raising an eyebrow*
	Tol-Kvan	Pout.  "...  We try,"
	Xolotl-Itzli	just turned back to the crew without saying anything. But... a hand did go down to pat Kvan's head once. Only once.
	Tol-Kvan	"Bastard." She wasn't serious, but she was. "Don't mind her, though.  Like I said before, prickly- She'll warm up."  Itzli is getting a par on the shoulder, back. And a little rub before turning to face'em. "So, did you want a little tour? I can take you by the Vogrojhal's tent, if you really want to speak up for yourselves."
	Nichos	Ruby: Oh, please, a tour would be lovely
	Tom_Atlus	Yes please!
	Xolotl-Itzli	poked Tol-Kvan lightly.
	Xolotl-Itzli	They said yes.
	Tol-Kvan	Spacing out? Maybe a little The poke made her blink a little before she dropped her arms and gave a little shake of her head.  "Oops!  Yeah, yeah- Sorry about that." That's a bashful bit of a grin, rubbing at that prodded spot and sending a glance Itzli's way, before waving them along and turning.
	Nichos	Ruby: *chuckles softly and shakes her head, before following the spacey moth*
	Xolotl-Itzli	followed along, staying mostly near the other moth girl and seeming more than content not to look at or talk to the crew.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *exists, and is also here for Tour, even if she's not planning to interrupt any proceedings like Ruby is :P *
	Tol-Kvan	Wave wave! Trailing off, Kvan  crossed all her arms but one, and, pointed at some of the more important things- Such as the large, open-aired grill of sorts, already lined with a few larger cuts of meat and various vegetables that were, currently, being fried up. It was already starting to fill the camp with pleasant smells.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: /Ooh,/ that smells /divine~/
	Tol-Kvan	"Well, this place is just... Sorta temporary?  We're sorta a nomadic people, so, we pick up and go as we need.  Like- Say, if that portal left a crater, we've move around.  So, the village isn't quite as 'impressive' as you'd think, us bein' around so long. But we pack light, and and travel where things look good."
	Nichos	Ruby: Indeed, nomadic tribes are known to me. You would be the only ones I have ever heard of that made a portal to an entire other realm, however...
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Is the portal portable?
	Tol-Kvan	"Not really....?" She said, giving a little sigh as she scratched the back of her head. "Once we figure out how to make something like that, we can remake it somewhere else.  It's just kind of...   Well, we're working on it."
	Tol-Kvan	"Once we get a better understanding, we'll be able to make'em more efficiently and probably more properly 'stable' and 'portable' ..."
	Nichos	Ruby: Well, our own portal is only portable insofar as our entire home moves around.
	Xolotl-Itzli	... Portal... Portable... Portalble... *She quickly covered her mouth with a hand, eyes looking a bit more stern.*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Ah, I see! And don't misrepresent things, the Schrodinger can only move around in the void of space....... *she quietly hides a giggle behind her hand as the punning from the stern moth girl~*
	Nichos	Ruby: Which makes it far more mobile than anything else, ne?
	Nichos	Ruby: ...Were it not stuck, at least.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: It may as /well/ be immobile :P
	Tol-Kvan	... There's a looming stare from Kvan. She's staring at that pun. What did you /say/.   https://i.imgur.com/5cnQ7PS.png
	Xolotl-Itzli	cleared her throat, keeping up a stern expression. Twitch. She's not continuing this discussion.
	Tol-Kvan	But it was brief, a snicker slipping past as she leaned back a little. "So, it's some void-like ship, huh...   Wait, wait.  So, it's stuck? the ship, or the portal."
	NeonProdigy	Nell: The ship.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: The portal is /in/ the ship. It's our only way of leaving that place
	Nichos	Ruby: In leyman's terms, it is trapped in the non-space between realms
	Xolotl-Itzli	Sounds dangerous.
	Tol-Kvan	"...Sounds like a problem. Y'all just sit in there stewing, or...?"   A pause, and, a thumb-jerk to Itzli. "that too."
	Nichos	Ruby: The initial occurrence seems to have been, but since then, it has been relatively stable. *she glances at Nell for a second there*
	Tom_Atlus	... Relatively, generally.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Any issues that occurred at the time it was stranded have been resolved. *she says plainly and quickly* /New/ issues crop up occasionally due to dimensional flux, but we Deal With Them *she smiles*
	Tom_Atlus	gives Nell's hand a soft squeeze
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *squeezes back after a moment*
	Xolotl-Itzli	... Long as you don't cause any problems.
	Xolotl-Itzli	makes edgy moth noises.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *considers*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Tom, would Devo getting here be considered causing a problem?
	Tol-Kvan	"Nnnmh."  There's a momentary pause, as, she gave Itzli a little prod. It was an idle thing.  "I could potentially poke at some of the more technological problems plaguing the ship- Piecing things together like that is sorta a specialty of ours- Er... Mine, I guess? And the other Jhal."
	Tom_Atlus	... ... /probably/ not as long as she asks for permission before doing stuff.
	Tol-Kvan	"Y'see, we're really good at looking at a thing and fitting together how it /should/ work, in a sense?"
	NeonProdigy	Nell: That could be helpful! You'd probably like Akira, she's pretty much the ship's engineer!
	Xolotl-Itzli	... I kill things. Like troublemakers.
	Ori	*Elsewhere, Mix suddenly starts sweating a bit*
	Nichos	Ruby: Always a useful skill.

	Tol-Kvan	"Ooooh...  I wanna meet'er at some point. We can compare things! And by that I mean I. Siphon what she knows and use it myself."  What a proud little puffing of her chest.
	Nichos	Ruby: *raises an eyebrow* Siphon?
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *snrks* She might learn some things from you too, y'know ;P
	Tol-Kvan	"Like a sponge, you know? She'll say things and I'll pick'em up. Then incorporate them myself.."  A little pause followed, pointing at the big one. "And that's another thing, too.  If we can share some knowledge, it'll help us both."
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *hi hello she's the big one* Yup! An exchange is always better for both sides! ^u^
	Nichos	Ruby: *nods, satisfied* Agreed
	Tom_Atlus	Yeah, no, I'm pretty happy to do so-
	Tol-Kvan	"What even are you guys?" She idly asked, planting a hand on her hip. "Buncha space-faring.. Well, the first thought is pirates. But'ya didn't come about screaming anything, or trying anything weird... "
	Tol-Kvan	"So, why the ship?"
	Xolotl-Itzli	If they came out screaming, they could be dead.
	Nichos	Ruby: Circumstance, primarily
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Originally it was meant to explore the multiverse, but since it's stuck... well, we can still explore a /bit/ with our portal but it's a far cry from the entire ship being able to sail between worlds... *she lets out a dreamy sigh... but shakes her head* Well, I wonder if back home they ever made any more ships to try and find the Schrodinger...?
	Nichos	Ruby: It seems to attract dimensional instability like your portal
	Xolotl-Itzli	Would. Excuse me.
	Xolotl-Itzli	cleared her throat.
	Tom_Atlus	One time, we found this new world cause one of us got kidnapped by were-coyotes and dragged through the ship into the vents.
	Tom_Atlus	** Akira sneezes.
	Tom_Atlus	It like took us to a place outside the ship's dimensions entirely but was still made up of the ship's identical parts? Like, an expansion that was fake.
	Tom_Atlus	Was weird.
	Tom_Atlus	'^'
	Xolotl-Itzli	I don't get it.
	Tol-Kvan	"Or, just cause y'all are stuck there. I'm curious." She's gonna... Give a little point out to one of the tents. a certain few- Some feminine, some masculine, yet all dressed differently than the others.   Namely... Rather revealing takes on the usual style, including various spun bits of gold, and jewels- They were fancy, and more or less dressing themselves up for the eminent little show.
	Tol-Kvan	But fluffy boy from before, Tol-Maa, was a part of that, too.
	Tom_Atlus	Believe me I don't think we got it either.
	Tom_Atlus	... Oh! Performers huh?
	Tol-Kvan	"But if the ship was real, but that ship wasn't real... I dun' getteh."
	Tol-Kvan	...Itzli is getting another look, though.
	Xolotl-Itzli	didn't notice the look, a bit busy taking a moment to stare at the performers before moving to stare ahead once again.
	Tom_Atlus	almost snorts-
	Tol-Kvan	"That sounds a bit... Hard to deal with, though.  but makes sense how it sorta found us..."
	Tom_Atlus	It's happened way less often since then so it's probably fine. Now.
	Nichos	Ruby: Something resembling stability, though incidents have become more common lately
	Tol-Kvan	"Maybe they did? That might be something that'd sorta... Come up.  Maybe, at some point, things'll come about and you'll find your way back to that homeworld, eh?  Or... They'll lock onto you and do something. Exciting to think about, at least."
	Xolotl-Itzli	I hope these incidents won't be causing us any problems.
	Nichos	Ruby: I would be shocked if they did, truthfully. They almost never go beyond the ship, or the universe of origin
	Xolotl-Itzli	Let's hope that it stays that way.
	Tol-Kvan	"They won't, they won't.  You worry too much-" She said with a bit of a buzzed hum trailing with.  "And if they did, that's why we've got our strange new friends. They'll help us out with the stickier things, and... Maybe our own problems, if things come around." That came with a glance back.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: We always love to help out new friends~! ^u^
	Tol-Kvan	"But, I do think it might be good to mention if you're planning on poking your head in... (Even if that might've passed already)"  Cough cough.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *chuckles and nudges Tom playfully*
	Xolotl-Itzli	does seem a little distracted now, however, her expression having softened slightly to a simple neutral look. For being so lowkey aggressive, she has the look of one someone might mistake for some kind of fantasy princess or nobility of some kind. That is to say, she was rather Pretty(tm).
	Tom_Atlus	I think I'll wait to see the full performance later, maybe?
	Tol-Kvan	Now, she'd stop- At the foot of a much smaller tent than one might think for somebody as important as Chieftain or anything like that. From there, she'd splay her hands out and whilst facing it-  Before turning.  "And here we are! Though, since things are sorta in motion...    Well, I'd say it's probably better to sit and wait, that is, if you can sit on your hands that long."
	Nichos	Ruby: If you really think so, I will abide
	Tol-Kvan	"You'd probably only get a few minutes... Give or take."
	Tol-Kvan	... That didn't stop the curtain from peeking open, though- And what looked like a child to poke it's head free. Wide-eyes and a starry gaze-   Before slipping back in excitedly, leaving the curtain flapping a little in the meantime.
	Tom_Atlus	gives them a little wave hello before they pull back inside-
	Nichos	Ruby: *tilts her head. Cute...*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *giggles, but they pull back in before she can wave too. B'awww :< *
	Nichos	Ruby: Who was that, then?
	Tol-Kvan	"Little'ns." She huffed, squatting down a bit, her hands settling on her knees as she stared. "Telling the chief he's got company.   Give'em a second"... "And uh. Brace."
	NeonProdigy	Nell: .....Brace for wha-
	Xolotl-Itzli	stepped away.
	Tom_Atlus	takes a moment to step back as well after seeing Itzli do it-
	Tol-Kvan	Following that, the a rather large hand would slip beneath the tent’s curtain, pulling it back and letting two children pile out, each moving surprisingly quickly and with a little warcry of their own-  This attack is more coordinated than kids really should be by any means-   A planned takedown of the one of the group who waved..  You made yourself a target, Tom.
	Tol-Kvan	With a small rumble, the ground beneath Tom’s feet weakend, and four hands shot up- One for each foot- keep him in place as one tried to jump past his shoulder, hooking an arm around his throat and trying to carry him back with the weight and force of the jump. While a third aimed for the waist.
	Tol-Kvan	Kids: "GETTEM!"  It was about as much as you'd expect, kids roughhousing... But, you know.  A lot more sudden.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *watches in awe- and approval! She giggles and claps as they /push Tom's shit in/ *
	Xolotl-Itzli	is glad she's not the subject of this.
	Tom_Atlus	gives NEll a look. A look of "Witness me, as I perish now, in glorious combat-" juuuust before he gets taken straight to the *fucking ground* . He *could* no sell this but, what is he? An asshole? Hell no. When the child swarm demands sacrifice, you answer properly, god damn it.
	Tom_Atlus	 GWAHAAAAGH?!
	Nichos	Ruby: *covers a laugh as Tom gets bodied*
	Tom_Atlus	does, however, flail and try to force himself to stand
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *nods. He is making The Correct Choice. Always sell when you're being attacked by children*
	Tol-Kvan	Up Kvan goes, brushing off her knees  and waving to the tent as a hunched woman peeked free, before slipping out,  Making a point to step fully from the tend, she'd straighten up with a bit of a sigh,   "Uho... Seems they don't mind you all already." Her voice had a certain kindness that radiated from it, a soft, if somewhat... Gruff  tone of voice.     It was clear-cut in the emotions it offered, and those were content at seeing the heartwarm
	Tol-Kvan	'  It was clear-cut in the emotions it offered, and those were content at seeing the heartwarming destruction caused by children.' (If it cut off)
	Tol-Kvan	???: "I take it you all are the visitors who this one dragged to our doorstep-" And Kvan is being snatched up by the waist, and shaken a bit, before just- Being held, a snickering mess that tried to push her way free.  "  I'll say you're lucky it was us, and not some of the less savory sorts.   Aah...  You're good fortune, to say the least."  And... She's looming to stare at Itzli.
	Tol-Kvan	???: "Seems you're off their radar for the moment, eh? " What a warm, nice woman.
	Tol-Kvan	???: "Tol-Laun Vogrojhal.  Your host, aside from the rest of us..  And the leader of the Tol-clan, currently. A pleasure, hm? "
	Nichos	Ruby: Sunagakure no Rubi. The pleasure is ours, certainly. *she smiles softly and bows her head*
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Eleanore Castello, pleased to meet you! *she also bows*
	Tol-Kvan	At least they gave Tom some breathing room after the clean takedown.   His hair is getting ruffled, and beneath his legs climbs up the digging one.  They proceed to all celebrate together with a stupid high-five before trailing away.  Something about 'Mission successful!' and all that.
	Tol-Kvan	Just as quickly as they came, they left him.
	Xolotl-Itzli	looked off to the side at that, her stern expression soon returning to her. Seemed she was shaken out of being distracted with that.
	Tom_Atlus	** Did one of them do a floss at him. He's pretty sure one  of them just did the floss. That'd just be the perfect way to cap off this day of his wouldn't it-
	Tom_Atlus	eventually staggers back to his feet
	Tom_Atlus	Formidable...
	Tol-Kvan	Tom got Dabbed on.
	Tom_Atlus	** Yep. Just the way to cap off that incident.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: *giggles* And this one is Tom Atlus. Please excuse him, for he has been defeated most disgracefully~
	Tom_Atlus	Don't think it'll be that easy next time! *He calls out to the kids, before eventually giving Vogrojhal a respectful bow, a construct comb brushing through his hair to settle it back to look less... Deku esque in its messiness.
	Tom_Atlus	And, ah- yes. Dur Vuntre Li Fsola. *He greets, giving the odler woman a warm smile in return* It's a pleasure to meet you.

	Tol-Kvan	Laun: "I'd say that's graceful... Sure, sure- He might've screamed a bit lilke a bitch...." ... Trailing off, She'd flash a grin. "Kidding, kidding.   Still, though. Ah.. I appreciate you playing into it." Taking a moment to stand, she'd let her wings bleed out behind her- a motion that was slow, purposeful, and a bit graceful-  As they grew to full behind her, she'd bend forwards, letting them wrap around her shoulders in a proper, rather g
	Tol-Kvan	As they grew to full behind her, she'd bend forwards, letting them wrap around her shoulders in a proper, rather graceful bow- With extra showmanship included.*
	Tol-Kvan	And... Then it'd solidify, forming a nice, pretty cloak around her as she settled Kvan down, and reached over to pat Itzli on the head. "So, you're the few who've caused all this stir... The past while I've had person, after person coming by.  all talking about the interesting few who stepped through our little experiment...."
	Nichos	Ruby: Hopefully nothing too disparaging, just yet.

	Tol-Kvan	Stepping forwards, she held her arms open. "Then I greet you, not as a leader, but as a friend, and an envoy-    these two, yes?  They kept you company here, I hope they weren't too much. Kvan has her own way of getting excited..."
	Tol-Kvan	Kvan: "Heeey! Can't blame me, can you?"  Whine whine.

	Tom_Atlus	It's nice to come to a place that has people that're so... immediately friendly, I guess is the way I'd put it.
	Nichos	Ruby: Indeed. It is... heartening, I think, to know that peoples such as yourselves exist
	Xolotl-Itzli	Long as you don't take it for granted.
	NeonProdigy	Nell: It's nice not having to fight zombie bug infested undead nazis, or undead sea creatures, or blood mages......
	Tom_Atlus	... Or the multi-multi-bear-
	NeonProdigy	Nell: Or werewolf hunters, or dragons, or dinosaurs, or the shambling mutated insane crew, or crystal-infested mushroom cows...
	Tol-Kvan	 "Not many choose to, or even can, bear the heat of the shifting steps, nor chose to risk stepping to the base an active volcano, such as where we live."    She said, tapping her chin, before, straightening out. "You got a free pass, though. So?  We've been hospitable when we can, to those who we can."
