MAY EVENT: LOST IN TRANSLATION

Who: Everyone!

When: May 21st to May 30th

Warnings: Mark as needed!

I Have No Words
Feel free to use this post as an event catch-all for any misfires, island-wide broadcasts, or glitching Stone shenanigans you'd like your characters to get up to! Remember that the Stones of Farspeech do not currently have a texting feature...but that doesn't mean the screen they use to display Caller I.D. can't display text, on occasion. Bear in mind that this screen is small and therefore has limited display options.

If you have any questions, feel free to look over our OOC event post here, and ask any questions as needed!

No idea how it happens. Nobody seems to know how to stop it. Some things can't be stopped.

[They just have to grit their teeth and carry on. He may be used at that, to horrifying extents, but that doesn't mean he likes it.]

[atailoftwoworlds]

…..I guess we’ll just have to see what mysteries we uncover here and do our best to survive until we do. [Going to try and stay optimistic in a bad situation. ] Uh….Hey, Hector. I’m not gonna push you to talk just because events in this place do but I’m there if you need anything, ok?

[vagabone]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dismissive, but not all that harsh, really. None of this is Zidane's fault. That's the thing, it's not anyone's fault. No pointing fingers, no asking them to knock it off...]

Pretty sure I'm way older than you. What did the stones say?

[atailoftwoworlds]

Um.....I don't see what age has to do with anything but whatever. [You're also dead dude but he's not going to use that to make a point because that sounds shitty. It did hit him after the aging event that Hector was really dead. But he talked so normally and it wasn't as if he was gone forever. Not here, anyway. But now, And from it sounded like, it was an unnatural death too.

Is there a good way to phrase this appropriately?

Nah, probably not.]

I heard you talking to someone about your death......I think you had just discovered how you died and who was responsible. For a second, I thought you were accusing me but now what we know what's going on with the stones.....

[vagabone]

No, no, no, I'm not accusing you. [This he says in a hurry, the only part of what Zidane said that matters. Of course he's not, that's crazy.] Listen, it was a hundred years ago. Whatever the stones said, remember it was a hundred years ago.

[atailoftwoworlds]

H-Hey, calm down! I know you're not! Like I said, I know it's whatever the hell is going on with these stones now.

[vagabone]

What do you mean it's not going to heal?! How am I supposed to get around on a broken leg?!

[So much for a real conversation.]

[atailoftwoworlds]

Uhhhhhh what are you talking ab-

What the--you've got a tail, too, rat-face!

[Definitely a lot of productive conversation going on here.]

[vagabone]

Can I at least have my costume back?

Uhh... No.

Bah! Some amigo!

[atailoftwoworlds]

[And Zidane can be heard talking with the same girl and some old man.]

"So...basically it's a wedding...and a honeymoon, right?"

"Ah dinnae ken yir words, lad, but methinks ye understan'."

[And the girl speaks.]

"So we can go to the Sanctuary if we undergo that ceremony, right?"

"Oh, hey, Dagger! So yeah, that's the deal. Whaddya think? We can go if we get hitched. But there's no way we'd actually--"

"Let's do it."

"What!?"

[vagabone]

[He's cracking up, both at that and the ratface comment, but it doesn't matter much since everything is being altered. That came out of left field after all the upsetting chatter!]

Hey! Hey, look at me. You can do this. Grab their attention and don't let it go! Make 'me listen, chamaco!

[atailoftwoworlds]

[And for once, Zidane can actually be heard.]

I uh.....guess this is gonna continue until the Story teller or someone else sorts it out.

[And then it goes back to malfunctioning.]

"What's wrong...? Are you peeved at me because I called you little? Hey, you're a great mage with great powers, alright? To hell with looks. It's what inside that counts."

[vagabone]

Why the heck would you want to be a musician?

My great great grandpa was a musician...

...Who spent his life performing like a monkey for complete strangers. Blech, no, no thank you, no.

[What an odd take on music.]
