When: Evening
Style: Whichever!
Status: Open

Perrin woke with a sense of pain and loss. Some of that pain was physical, with the wounds he'd sustained in the wolf dream, but that was nearly drowned out by the deep sadness he felt. Hopper... He wanted to howl, but at the same time he felt too drained. He just wanted to lie there in his tent and...

He was not in his tent. The realization cut through his sorrow, and he struggled to gather his wits. He was lying on some city street paved in cobblestones. None of its sounds or smells were familiar, and in fact Perrin himself smelled of seawater. It did not feel like a dream, but he tried again to wake himself just the same. Nothing happened.

He nearly lay back and shut his eyes, wanting nothing more than to rest and to mourn, but in an unknown place, neither of those options were safe. There had been some trap waiting to spring on him, and if one of the Forsaken was responsible for this... Well, he did not know why nothing had come to finish him off, but he had no intention of waiting for it. With a groan, Perrin struggled to pick himself up and find some answers.

Comments

... Towels at the stands. [ Don't mind that random comment, but honestly. Dripping about isn't going to be that good for you.

Duke's here for more birdseed, don't mind him. ]

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[The fact that he's soaking wet is, honestly, low on Perrin's list of worries right now. He looks like it's about all he can do to stand on his own two feet, with that wound in his thigh.

He eyes the stranger warily, but despite the man's unusual appearance--an albino?--Perrin doesn't smell any ill intention on him. It is odd that he takes Perrin's appearance in stride, as though it happens all the time. Maybe it does, for all Perrin knows about the place.]

Where is this?

[Here, the conversation can be abrupt on both sides.]

[radiantwingedone]

Vatheon. No longer in the world you came from. If your wounds irritate, can offer healing or touch the coral for the same effect. [ He means he can offer healing, but he drops parts of speech out all the time so don't mind him.

Oh, no, these won't do... ]

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[Apparently he's dealing with a man who can channel. That might explain his odd way of speaking. As much as he's come to rely on the Grady and Neald, though, Perrin isn't exactly ready to trust his wounds to a strange man in another world. He looks around instead.]

I've never heard of coral healing anyone.

[Unless it's a delusion, maybe.]

[radiantwingedone]

Perhaps because it is not of the world you are from. [ Didn't he say this? ]

Also believed to be the reason behind arrivals. Yours today, mine some months ago, others from various other lands...

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[He was hoping the rules of this world were similar to what he knew. It would make getting back home easier to puzzle out.]

You mean to tell me the both of us were brought here by an oceanic rock?

[Could it be something like a portal stone? Regardless, the more important question is:]

Can I use it to get back?

[radiantwingedone]

Less of a rock, more of a stone-like shell formed by many small... [ Probably not interested. ]

Possible. If any understood how the coral brings those it does, reworking the process would not likely be beyond reach. Touching it is not the answer, as that heals and restores strength. Otherwise. [ A short shrug. ]

[clumsyblonde]

[Colette had been walking along-by herself for once, her dog sleeping in her apartment and probably would be for a couple more hours-when she sees Perrin. Hopefully this isn't like the last newcomer she met, who knew Colette but Colette didn't know her, and this man was from a different world entirely.

She walks over to a stall and grabs a towel before approaching him. She offers him the towel.]

Are you alright?

[And since this is probably going to be his first question...] This place is called Vatheon; it's a completely different world from your own.

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[Perrin can't help but blink in surprise at the girl coming up to him so easily. With his stature, his yellow eyes, and his obvious battle wounds, he can't imagine he cuts a very approachable figure.

Still, some women don't give much thought to that.

He shakes his head, slowly taking the towel from her as he tries to process her brief explanation. A different world; he already suspected he came very far from what he knows, but what he doesn't understand is how. Or how she knows he's from elsewhere.]

How do you know that's where I'm from?

[clumsyblonde]

[She's killed monsters bigger than you, Perrin. Maybe some of the other girls in this city would be scared of him, but not her.

Besides, even if golden eyes are unusual, she's seen more unusual things and experienced scarier things. Not much worse than being trapped in your own body without being able to do anything at all.

She smiles and rubs the back of her head.]

Because everyone who arrives soaked is from a world that isn't Vatheon! Sometimes people from the same world show up together, and sometimes it takes months for someone else from your world to show up. Time is frozen at your own world while you're here, but people can show up from your past or future.

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[At one part of that, Perrin freezes from his awkward attempt to dry himself off with his uninjured arm.]

People from the same world-- If we arrived together, they'd be nearby?

[He'll absorb the rest later. Right now his mind is on the possibility of Faile being here.]

[clumsyblonde]

[A blink.]

Probably. Almost everyone arrives in this plaza. There's no guarantee that someone else from your world is here though.

[His wounds don't look incredibly bad but...]

You should touch the coral to heal yourself before you start looking.

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[He heard all that, but his attention is focused on scanning the area around them. Smelling as strongly of seawater and blood as he does, he isn't sure he would pick up her scent.]

Coral?

[He asks absently. His priorities have quite obviously shifted.]

[clumsyblonde]

Coral. It's over here if you'll follow me.

[She starts walking toward it, stops, and turns to see if he's actually going to follow her. With how he's looking around, she kinda doubts he will. She also doubts he'll find who he's looking for and that makes her sort of sad. Whoever it is, she hopes they'll arrive soon if she's right about them not being here.]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd's not exactly the best at spotting when newcomers arrive. In fact, he's not even thinking about people arriving as he makes his way through the plaza. However, that man definitely looks a little lost. The dual swordsman slows his pace, looking at the man curiously.]

Hey. Is everything all right?

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[Perrin would prefer not to admit the extent of his difficulties to a stranger, but the blood staining his clothes and the confusion with which he regards his surroundings probably makes it obvious enough. He looks at this boy with some caution, though he can't smell anything but curiosity.]

No. I'm not where I need to be.

[redcladidealist]

[Well, that sounds simple enough, at least at face value.]

Where do you need to be?

[Yeah, um, noticing that blood. Perrin can probably smell concern now.]

Do you need to be healed?

[ex_wolfbrother668]

Not here.

[He can tell the boy's concern is genuine, but with the threat of attack that was hovering over his camp, it's better to stay cautious.

There's no denying the blood, though. He couldn't walk straight right now if his life depended on it. There just isn't anyone here to trust with Healing.]

I could manage with fresh bandages.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd's smile disappears into a more sober expression.]

Is it that bad? Maybe you should try touching the coral. It'd probably help. I can get you some bandages if you wait here, though.

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[Perrin glances towards the huge coral in the center of the plaza; of course he's noticed it, but he hasn't given it much thought yet.]

What do you mean?

[Because he doesn't see how touching a rock would help.]

[redcladidealist]

[Right, even where Lloyd comes from, rocks like this can't heal - and he won't argue if Perrin calls it a rock. He doesn't really know the difference himself.]

The coral in this place is really neat. I think it has magic inside it. I'm serious, it can heal you! I don't think it can heal you all the way, though, but trust me, it helps a lot.

[mylittledoormat]

[Fluttershy slowly flies down from the sky, settling down onto the ground a few feet from the dazed looking human. She looks up at him nervously, chewing on her lip. In the end, her motherly instincts kicked in and she took a few more steps closer to him.]

Are... are you alright, sir? Do you, uh, n-need any help?

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[Perrin has seen some strange things. The dead fighting in battle, the creatures the Seanchan use, and anything with the One Power can appear fantastical. Arguably talking with wolves is pretty strange.

But he's never seen a brightly-colored winged pony fly down from the sky and address him in human speech.

He doesn't reply right away, but just stares, perplexed. He's fairly certain this isn't something he would hallucinate, and he doesn't think he's lost that much blood anyway.]

[mylittledoormat]

[Fluttershy tilts her head to the side curiously, before remembering that he's probably never seen a pony like herself before. She hopes he won't try to attack her or anything like that. Nopony here had tried that so far, but it's better to be safe rather than sorry.]

Um, I'm Fluttershy. What's your name?

[Let's start with something simple and harmless.]

[ex_wolfbrother668]

[No, Perrin has no intention of attacking. Once he gets past the initial surprise, he realizes this creature smells... anxious.

In his own world, anything inhuman that could speak would probably be named Shadowspawn, even something as harmless-looking as this. But, considering what he is, he knows not to judge too quickly on appearance.]

...it's Perrin.

[He's still baffled, but this is a different world, after all.]
