[ WEEK FOUR ]

WEEK FOUR

CURRENT POPULATION: 28

It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.

... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!

After all, there's nothing wrong with the town today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts.



This post functions as the general mingle post for the week. Wanted Posters and other small events will be posted in top levels below. If there's any questions or requests, please send a PM or shoot a PP to [plurk.com profile] robowest.

Porange wine is made from poranges.

[like. it's the most obvious thing in the world]

It's very sweet, and works well as a dessert wine. It pairs well with apple or other fruit-based desserts due to the spice component they usually possess.

[after a few moments:]

You realize I have no idea what a porange is, right?

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-08 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[oh. right]

It's a type of fruit on my world. It's. . . difficult to describe, though someone once asked me if it was a cross between a pear and an orange.

I said no, because a porange is a type of fruit in and of itself.
robitussin: (and you graduate early)

Huh. Are they really common where you're from?

[a beat]

Actually, where are you from? Somehow I've never asked.

They're grown outside the village of Hamil, in the country Auj Oule. As far as I know, that's the only place you can find them.

[she smiles a bit as she remembers the things she's fond of back home]

I'm from a world called Rieze Maxia, although said world has been recently reunited with the one called Elympios. [LONG STORY] And you?
robitussin: (it only hurts when i cry)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-02-09 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty rare, then. Huh.

[A tilt of her head.]

It's called Earth. I'm from a state called Washington in a country called the United States. [But more importantly...] When you say reunited, what do you mean?

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-10 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Earth. Washington. The United States.

[all foreign words, but she likes the way they sound on her tongue]

And by reunited, I mean that Rieze Maxia and Elympios used to be the same world. Two millennia ago, they were separated by a barrier of mana known as the "Schism." My comrades and I only recently destroyed the Schism to reunite the two worlds as one again.
robitussin: (feel like i feel too)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-02-13 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[A pause, because she suddenly has roughly 100 questions.]

...Did someone separate them? Can I ask why?

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-13 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
. . . it's a long story. But the short of it is yes, they were separated by my predecessor. The Lord of Spirits that existed before me.

He did so in order to protect Rieze Maxia from technology known as Spryix that those from Elympios had begun to develop.
robitussin: (bleeding out in the--)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-02-13 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
And... You undid it? Or helped to, at least.

[The question she's asking might not be explicit, but it's hinted at all the same.]

Maxwell himself was the only one who could officially dispense with the Schism, but my comrades and I managed to convince him to do so.

[a beat]

Ah, but we had to rescue him first. He had been "kidnapped" by someone who wanted to keep the Schism in place.
robitussin: (for just another day)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-02-15 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
If he did it to protect people, why did you decide to take it down?

[gosh she keeps asking for the complicated parts of this story]

. . . Elympios's use of Spyrix technology had left that portion of the world mostly dead. The citizens of Elympios knew about Rieze Maxia, and intended to use the mana produced by its citizens as a sort of energy source for their dying world.

In order to stop this plan, and allow the two worlds to co-exist peacefully with each other, the Schism needed to be destroyed. The destruction of this barrier produced enough mana to provide life for both worlds and negate the dangerous side effects of Spyrix usage.

[only for a short period of time, but it was still something]
