PART I

[dragneel]

Characters: Anyone going on the Excalibur Quest!
Location: Excalibur's Cave
Rating: G/PG
Time: February 22nd
Description: A bunch of guests set out to find the legendary sword, not knowing what's in store.



[ The terrain is rocky and uneven and the trek is no easy task. Even when the goal's in sight, it's still far away because according to the book -- just up this cliff is Excalibur's cave. Looks like some teamwork might be needed to get up there. Not everyone can have a cool, floaty skateboard like Death the Kid. ]



(OOC: This log will be divided into two parts. The exploration, which is this log, and the actual encounter with Excalibur. I'll be making some subthreads for chambers to explore, but feel free to make your own threads and mingle! If you can dream it and it's annoying enough, Excalibur probably has it in his cave.)

[[looks back over at her with a warm smile]] If you wouldn't mind talking about it, un! [[a nod]]

[ninjainviolet]

Normally, I don't, but I didn't realize just how much a part of me they were until I came here. I feel a little "empty" without them. [She tilts her head.] You know what I mean?

[shiromadoushi]

A little... [[a small smile]] Though not for anything big, just something from my father that I always had with me, so I'm sure it's not the same. [[Especially when the Ring was a very complicated thing.]]

[ninjainviolet]

[She taps him lightly in the head in admonition.] It doesn't matter the size; if it was important to you, and it's gone, then it's the same, Bakura. Okay?

[shiromadoushi]

[[he ducks his head just a touch on reflex at the tap, looking very sheepish]] Un... it's my treasure. [[says with a small smile]]

[ninjainviolet]

[She can tell he doesn't mean treasure as in being rich financially, and she smiles gently.] Which means that when it's gone, you feel it more than you would something else because of that attachment. Because in a way, it became a part of you and who you are. [Just like her Summons. So yes, it's the same thing.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura laughed very softly at that That would be one way of putting it.]] Un... Is that how it is for you?

[ninjainviolet]

That's exactly how it is, Bakura. There are times in battle when I summon them, and they need to use my mana in order to perform spells. We're connected that way. [She sighs and looks forward.]

Now they're gone... [Chuckles softly.] And I hadn't even known them that long.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Like something out of a video game~ Bakura can't help but grin at that]] It sounds amazing, to be able to do something like that. I can't imagine having that, and then losing it...

:D

[ninjainviolet]

[She turns to him with a soft smile.] Like I said, I hadn't had them with me for long, so you'd think it wouldn't be that bad. [Pauses and her smile becomes mischievous.]

Although, there's one I don't really mind not being able to see. He's a giant rodent with a huge bow. [Yes, a bow. On his head. Not over his behind like her.]

He can't help it, he's a nerd. :D

[shiromadoushi]

Like a cartoon? [[blink blink]]

LMAO

[ninjainviolet]

What's a cartoon? [She hasn't watched her television yet.]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaaa-- [[He keeps forgetting that not everyone's from a world like his own until these sorts of things happen, whoops.]] Like an animated drawing you'd see on the TV!"

[ninjainviolet]

You mean like a painting brought to life? [Well, that sounds downright creepy...]

TV? Oh, that box. I haven't looked at it yet.

[shiromadoushi]

You haven't? [[blinks, utterly baffled]] Haven't been here long enough to be curious about it?

[ninjainviolet]

Ummmm.... Actually, I have been, but... I've just never gotten around to it. [She likes the refrigerator, though.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a small laugh]] I guess with everything that's been going on, I can't blame you. Especially if you're from someplace that doesn't have a lot of the things this place has, there's probably a lot to learn about, ne?

[ninjainviolet]

That's the truth. [She says with a chuckle.] Someone told me about the television and how it works, but said that instead of the live pictures that are normally sent by the communicator, almost everything is recorded like some of those other messages we see.

It's different than the communicators I've seen on my world.

[shiromadoushi]

[[nods with a smile]] Un, like that yeah, and often with special effects or things like that to make things that you wouldn't see in life normally.

What do you have in your world?

[ninjainviolet]

You mean like my Summons? [She's smiling, showing she's joking.]

Oh, our communicators let you see the whole person at times. [She describes it, and he may recognize it as resembling a hologram. She pulls out her communicator.] I like this one. It's a lot smaller.

[shiromadoushi]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeh, really? That's pretty cool! So it's not that technology here is any more advanced, just different, then?

[ninjainviolet]

[Nods.]

Although, some of the things I've seen here would be wonderful to have back home.

[shiromadoushi]

Things that are different enough to not be there?

[ninjainviolet]

Yeah. Like that box...the umm...refrigerator. Something like that would be good.

[shiromadoushi]

Eh? You have holograms, but not refrigerators...? [[blink blink. Yet again adjusting his view on how her world works.

..Maybe he should just, ya know, ask her about it.]]

What sort of world is yours like?
