|
It was as easy as walking through a doorway. Moment earlier it had been a warm summer afternoon near New Lazlo, and now you look out upon the world and feel a distinct chill. It is night, and off in the distance the eerie glow of red peppers the horizon. You stand at the nexus of two ley lines, both glowing with the same red energy as on your Earth. The land around you is hardly land at all. You stand on the edge of a large body of water, perhaps one of the "Great Lakes" of this region of Earth. In front of you is the water, but behind you are the border trees of a large forest. Judging by their leaves, it is no longer Summer here. There are a number of animal and insect noises all around you, but nothing that sounds hostile.
Welcome to Earth Two. |

In a loud echoing voice, Sir Jeremiah turns to address his companions.
"HARUMPH (which as best any of you have ever been able to tell is some sort of "throat" clearing noise)...Poncho dear lad,*turning towards the Vacuum Wasp at his side* mark this historic occassion so that the heralds of a thousand kingdoms may know the first steps of our journey."
the addressing the large Promethean at his other side.
"The Sorcerer Graydolf, perharps your keen senses can tell us something about yon hither land that our eyes cannot."
Suddenly the massive form of Sir Jeremiah becomes tense as if ready to leap to action
"?!?!?! Careful children, I smell danger!" as the Knight stares intently into a nearby copse of darkened trees. _________________ So's Your Face!

"All I smell are apples," Poncho mutters softly to himself, as he taps away at his mini computer. Indulging the old timer's delusions is getting harder and harder these days. Hopefully someone on this new world will provide insight into the Cosmo Terror's affliction. |

"Applonians?!? Here?!?! Ready yourselves brave hearts, Applonians are dangers most foul...guard your gibblets, they have a tendancy for such jewels."
Jeremiah hoists his barn door, err shield to the ready, the inner glow of his armor intensifying.
"Wait till they charge men...then unleash your Holy Wrath." _________________ So's Your Face! |

Here we go again.
"Remember lord, Applonians are deathly afraid of fresh water. They'd never attack this close to such a large gathering of their bane. We'll be safe from them, for now." Poncho opts not to mention the unique physiology of the three allies, and how these Applonians would be hard pressed to handle the reproductive structure of any of the three. "Come now, some mint tea will help calm you." |

"HARUMPH!...water? Yes, yes, right oh, good lad, I see you've indeed been studying the weaknesses of our cowardly enemies, best to watch our backs though, Applonians are a crafty lot." With that Jeremiah's form becomes relaxed, or as relaxed as a walking tank can become.
"Tea, yes a good spot of tea would be delightful now....Sir Graydolf, will thou be joining us?" _________________ So's Your Face! |

Gauntis of House Domoril draws a deep breath, acquainting himself with what he sees. The passing to an unexplored world barely phases the ashen giant.
Half ignoring the ramblings of his companion, "Tea for a new beginning, I agree." He exhales slowly, opening his mind to get a better feeling of his surroundings. (Sense Time, Read Dimensional Portal) |

Poncho serves the tea once the water has been boiled. It could've been made faster with an insta boil drop, but Poncho has grown to like the patience of the traditional method.
As this was a random rift, Read Dimensional Portal doesn't offer much for you. Sense time informs you that time seems to be flowing at the same speed as the Earth you just left. |

Poncho Sanzo, Squire to Sir Jeremiah
Name: Poncho Sanzo, though in reality the Vacuum Wasp is known amongst his people by a series of butt wiggles and a counter clockwise turn, Sir Jeremiah has taken to calling him Poncho Sanzo the past few years. |
((The rest is in the character thread, post by Cyber. Guy's quite hilarious, all in all)) |

Wandering over to crouch down by the water to disturb it with his hand, he gives his companion his full attention again.
"What shall we call this place, Jeremy? We cannot be wandering around a place with no name."
Gauntis stares up into the sky to look for familiar constellations. |

"HARUMPH...Wha? A Name you say? Hmmm, yes what shall we call you?" As he says this the Cosmo Terror kneels gently, and with an outstretched hand, gently pets the ground beneath him. "Well, I am certainly no stranger to the naming of undiscovered lands and strange new vistas...Gary...we shall call it Gary, a good and strong name, long associated in the infinite cosmos with strength, peace and ground-dwelling mammals."
After his successful Naming, Sir Jeremiah walks to the waters edge next to The Sorcerer Graydolf, or Gray to you and me, to look to its edge upon the horizon.
"I fear I am losing my mind The Sorcerer Graydolf." the Knight says taking a melancholy tone. "in my haste to venture to this new world Gary, I have forgotten to bring a boat. How are we to navigate its expanse? Poor Poncho cannot swim, and I forgot Noridore's not the young buck he used to be. We must build a raft! I will gather the needed timber for such endeavors"
and with that the Aged Knight turns to move towards the copse of nearby trees.
"Well Applonians, it seems we shall do battle today yet!" _________________ So's Your Face! |

"GIRD YOURSELVES AND MAKE READY TO MEET YOUR GODS!!!!!!"
like a 7 ton bowling ball thrown at matchstick pins, Sir Jeremiah rushes the copse of nearby trees.

((After Cyber's rush))
"Let's hope he doesn't encounter anything that he decides are Applonians." The wasp says to Gray, then takes flight, skimming the ground as he races after his charge.
Though the first few trees give easily enough, it isn't very long at all before trees of a much harder substance stop Jeremiah in his tracks. The native flora has grown accustomed to a regular bath in wild magic energies, it seems.
"Sir," Poncho calls out as he closes in on the Holy Knight. "Remember, we are here to make observe and report, not to bring war to an unsuspecting world." |

rubbing his bruised noggin, though the cold black metal of his "skull" shows nary a mark
"Craven cowards, vanished like the Ghosts of Valeros IX."
once Poncho, his loyal squire has reached him
"Settle, settle young man, I mean to bring peace to this world, not war... just chasing off some unruly Applonians, the scaley wags. Fortunate though for us, I have liberated this mill that they had stormed and held hostage." At which Jeremiah sweeps his hand backwards, pointing to the dozen or so scattered trees. "Now, we have the means for a proper raft."
"Perhaps we shall be treated to a spectacul good squire and The Sorcerer Graydolf shall magic us up a boat from this raw wood." the Cosmo Terror looks expectantly towards Gray. _________________ So's Your Face! |

(lol)
Gauntis sighs.
"No boats. Not yet." He presses onward into the forest. "Come on," he says, pressing further into the forest. "I don't think Appalonians are in this area, so you can relax a while. Just keep an eye out for anything else." _________________ Bitches ain't shit. |
