-Corrin closes her eyes, trying to remember.-
Corrin: I-I was wandering through this really weird building, where there seemed to be... hundreds of people impersonating the J-Team? But then, they... for some reason they said I wasn't real, th-that I was a fake, or something, and then...
-She shakes her head.-
Corrin: I remember being angry. And everything was blurry. The same way that... th-that happened when my...
-She stops herself.-
Corrin: ...I remember having my old dragon abilities. From back home, not in this world.
Kaisei: "Uh, right... good luck with that."
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every-Corrin has a brief second-long look of confusion, before the name registers and her eyes widen.-
Corrin: A-Azura— ???
-Azura takes the scarf, and dons it, transforming into her familiar human form. Corrin stares slack-jawed in shock.-
Azura: I'm so sorry to surprise you like this, Corrin, but... it is very nice to finally see you again.
Corrin: I-I, I can't believe, is that really...
That song.
Corrin: ...
Jessica: "I'm ready!"
Shaun: "If you wanted me to kiss you you could've just asked."
-Jessica coughs.-
Jessica: "I should probably stay in thd shallows for now..."
-Shaun nods and holds out a hand.
Shaun: "Come on. You're at least getting the basics down before lunch."
Jessica: "Okie-dokie! Teach me to swim, da-Shaun!"
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"Kazuma: "M-hmm..."
-He turns to glance at the mons after their second mention of a bone. And nods to Ramona-
"Yes, let's give that a shot"
-And proceeds toward the kitchen-
Corrin: ...
Azura: ...I suppose you've realized it wasn't a dream now, then.
Corrin: ...But it doesn't... it doesn't make sense... Why would they call me a fake, when they're the ones impersonating the J-Team? And— and why would I have turned into my old form? Especially wearing this?
-She lifts the arm with her armband. Azura takes a breath, mulling over wording, and sits next to Corrin.-
Azura: Our world... well, it exists as a fictional setting in this one. Some details changed, perhaps, but to the world around us, we appear as what they believe to be fiction, come to life. Or, perhaps, as people devoted to pretending to be fictional personas.
Corrin: ...So I'm...
-She rubs her head-
Corrin: We... just shouldn't exist here? At all? But— but how did—
Azura: Corrin, we are real. We are. There's no doubt about that, as much as I began to doubt myself when I was told. We came from another world, from which everything gets translated into a fitting form. Including, evidently, our entire history, translated into a story in the minds of some storywriter.
-Corrin just... processes this for a moment.-
Corrin: ...But... how, then, did my old form come into being here? If everything is supposed to be... "translated"?
-Azura ponders for a moment.-
Azura: Hmm... my best assumption is that it has to do with the nature of the power, specifically being of divine origin. Normally the forces translating us into suitable forms are strong enough to override it, but... under stress, the power of an enraged divine dragon makes sense to be able to temporarily break through.
-Corrin sits quietly, taking the theory in.-
Stormchaser, past
...I don't think I'd get tired of it.
Muddy: -Looking on from behind-
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Silas took stock, "Alright. Let us begin."
Hacks looked over and smiled, grabbing a chip, though before Silas could even start, in came Ribbon, who sat down next to Hacks, she wanted to listen as well.
Silas cleared his throat and began, his monotone gone as he spoke.
"It is the year 3118 of the Anno Domini Calendar, or year 15,006 of the Galactic Scale. Tensions are high as the Alliance of Systems is close to breaking down, add in the presence of piracy and strange anomalies popping in and out of the galaxy-"
"-However that is currently not your concern as you are merely adventurers, yet to come together. Tae holds the current plot thread as he has the most experience with my campaigns. Tae, you are at the bar, you are currently on a merc contract being hired onto a ship. What do you do?"
Daniel smiled and looked about, "Damn, got some time to kill before I meet with the Captain, better get a drink."
Daniel walked over to the bar and raised a finger, "So! What'll it cost for a drink? Can I get it half off?"
<I'm gonna roll charm to see if I can get the price of a drink lowered.>
"-Sigh- okay go ahead."
The sound of rolling could be heard.
"Success roll. Okay here's what happens."
The Bartender looks over and smiles, "Ah! You must be on contract! Don't worry, Captain Whiskers and his associates are fine here! Plus always nice to see another auric bloodliner, tell me. Why join with the Whiskers and associates?"
Daniel laughed, "Why is he called Whiskers?"
"You know how those Lieomen are, hairy faces."
Channah: -blinks- Oh. Uh. That's - cool, I guess.
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.Stormchaser, past
Muddy: <Hitodama said you tried telling her back in the cages and failed, try again now!>
No! Besides, I figure considering all that crap that happened a relationship's probably the farthest thing on her mind.
-To Channah-
Well... this might sound kinda weird to segue into but in the name of the whole "trust" thing... Have you ever wondered if you could like more than one person at once?
Muddy: <Not quite an actual confession, Tagg, but I'll take it.>
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Channah: -tilts her head, relieved that's done with but puzzled- Pff. Y'mean like, multiple crushes or whatever? Uh, no? No point in it. -pauses, then cracks a small smile- Why, you mediating a romantic issue? 'Cause uh. You should ask a rock for help before asking me.
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.-Azura also hugs Corrin, because goshdarnit she needs it.-
-She just sorta... sinks into the hugs.-
Corrin: ...So I guess this is what you meant by a cosmic joke, huh, Artoria...
Stormchaser, past
Muddy: -Does the Swampert equivalent of an eyebrow raise as his headfins twitch-
-To Channah, as I let out a brief chuckel-
Well... you could say that, polyamory's something I'm still trying to figure out. Didn't think so either before Maybe Crewe would've had less grief back when she came to me about the whole thing with Straw and Lucius almost four summers ago, but then things happened and well, I've been reevaluating a lot of things lately.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Channah: Really? Huh. -shrug- ... ...Er, wait, it's your issue? I mean. Um. -slowly- Does that mean - Is everything okay with Solana? Or...? -looks like she just entered foreign territory with a banana instead of a map-

-Waving hands wildly-
No, no, everything's fine between us, we just decided to make our relationship more.. open, if that makes any sense.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.-Whilst those J-Con attendees determined enough to ignore the Feral Corrin attack are starting to pack up their wares, a Bisharp is standing by one of the abandoned stalls, sighing exasperatedly.-
Falchion: <For the last time, yes, it's gone. This place has reached a level of relative quiet not seen since it was announced that you'd be doing a signing.>
-A voice calls out from beneath the stall.-
Lucius: Yeah, but do you have proof?
Falchion: <...The fact that I can't see a giant dragon, or hear one roaring loudly enough to leave me ringing like a bell for the next hour?>
Lucius: Sounds fake.
Falchion: <Listen, you can have all these cookies I've just baked if you just come out and see for yourself.>
Lucius: C'mon, do you really think I'm that dumb?
Falchion: <Yes?>
Lucius: ...Fair.
-He begins to emerge back into the outside world.-
Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.Channah: Oh. ...Oookay. Well. Uh, good to hear there's no problems there. Alright. Er. -just nods tentatively-
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.-a head sticks down over the stall, blue hair flopping wildly-
Ever: Are you okay? I came over for the signing to see if I could get any signatures to forge later, but nobody showed up, and then everything got all loud and dramatic and I decided to just sort of skulk around here and not deal with that.
...Also have you seen a Murkrow?
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.-Corrin nods, sorta leaning into Azura, a few tears forming as the events of the day really set in.-
Corrin: I... thought we'd lost you. I thought you hadn't made it here. I was so worried that I'd never get to see you again, a-and... that you wouldn't be the one I knew.
-Azura just gently pats her.-
Azura: I don't know for sure if it would be consolation or if it makes it worse, but... our world is not exactly the same as the one represented in the game. You chose a completely different path than anything one could choose in that.
Corrin: ...Really...?
Azura: Really. Skye let me borrow her copy of it in the time between my arrival and now, and the options... don't lead down the same path we knew.
Corrin: ...Would you happen to have it with you?
-Azura smiles-
Azura: I think I can get it to you before too long.
-Lucius blinks upon seeing Ever, and almost seems to consider remaining underground before finishing his emergence into the surface world.-
Lucius: Erm... yes, I've seen a Murkrow several times. As for whether I've seen a Murkrow in the last twenty-four hours, though, I can't say I have.
-There's a moment's pause.-
Lucius: ...Also why are you asking me if I'm okay? I mean I vaguely remember that we had a drunken movie night but I feel like we were glossing over a lot of stuff at that point. Especially the part where I played substitute teacher for someone who was trying to kill you, so... sorry about that.
