Code - 004 [Audio]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Alright, fellow Caveians. I've got three questions that are in order of decreasing relevance to our current situation as cave-prisoners. In fact the last one isn't relevant at all, just sort of a distraction from the fact that some people still seem a bit sore about losing during that last event.

Hey, nothing wrong with a bear or flowers. 

[Whistler managed to get chocolates so he's not complaining] 

Anyway - First Question: 

How many of you, prior to arriving in this Cave, had a profession that involved being armed or fighting on a regular basis. Now I know a lot of you can be touchy when anyone asks you well...anything... so the level of specifics you give me doesn't matter too much. Even "yes" or "no" will do.  I'll take it as a sign not to ask any follow up questions. 

[He may be a bit done with how 'not fun' a lot of you are] 

Second Question:

How many of you come from a place that is NOT some variation of Earth? 

And my third question: 

If you were told you could have any ONE thing you wanted. No questions asked. No tricks. What would you ask for?

[Jo has been quite enjoying having a gun again. Even if she's being incredibly stingy and careful with it.]

I did. And I'm from Earth. [Or some version of it. Whatever.]

Re: Voice

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Not gunna give that last question a go?

[dedikated]

Yes.

( Such help. )

Re: text.

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Well as per my promise I will take that as a clue not to ask any follow up questions

[Though you are going on his list of not fun people]

[blessedmaiden]

Mmmhm... not really a profession but I've been trained in the use of offensive magic and summons for most of my life, I've even spent some of my time traveling with companions and using said skills.

As far as I know The Blue Planet is the Blue Planet but I can't completely guarantee it's not a different version of your planet.

I'd rather not reply this one. [Her mother back, of course...]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

I know some people call Earth the Blue Planet as well but in all fairness "Blue Planet" a pretty vague name so without more information I can't help you with that

[He chuckles before humming in acknowledgement at her next answer]

Alright. I'm not here to force anyone.

[roseofthetyrells]

I've no experience with fighting of any kind, though I've been told that I should learn while I'm here.

As for your second question, I'm not from Earth.

And your third, I'd ask for my brother.

Re: Voice

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Well you're not alone. I'm standing with you in the 'have no clue how to fight' solidarity.

Is it alright if I ask where you're from?

[toiletseat_girl]

No, I don't know how to fight, but I don't have to. I'm from Earth and I'd ask for Betty to be here.

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

What do you mean 'I don't have to'?

[It's certainly a different answer]

[so_dark_a_road]

First question: I spent the last six hundred years of my life at war. And then I went to another world for a bit and fought some more. And now I'm at Hadriel, still fighting.

Second question: I've never been to your Earth, and so I don't know how closely it might be related to my earth, which is called Arda.

Third Question: I want safety and peace for those I love or esteem. And even for those I don't.

Re: audio

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Can I be honest? That sounds pretty awful. The war stuff, I mean. I'm not trying to diss an Earth I don't know anything about.

And if you don't mind my saying, I asked for exactly the same thing when my friends asked me that question.

[voice]

[hot_mes]

[he's bored, he'll bite]

One, yes. Two, yes. Three, I have no answer.

「 t r e a d j a c k ~」

[puzzlingly]

Really? Nothing?

I find that hard to believe.

「voice」

[puzzlingly]

Isn't that a bit of a personal question?

Re: 「voice」

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Which one?

Voice

[elegant_and_proud]

Mage guild work is somewhat mercenary in nature and I fought in a war, so yes to your first question. Where I come from is called Earthland, so close enough to Earth, I would imagine.

[She's not touching the third.]

Re: Voice

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

[That didn't go unnoticed]

You like keeping your wishes to yourself I take it?

[hasadoctorsnote]

Yes, no, and I already have it.

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

I want to thank you for being to the point and congratulate you on having the thing you'd want most.

[ghostlocked]

i worked for an adventuring guild. me kyna and tucker did scooby doo shit p much. it usually involved some kind of fighting whether it was against ppl or monsters or w.e.
im from earth.
why?

Re: text

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

First: Which one are you of the Scooby gang?

[Please say Scooby or Shaggy]

Second: Because I think its fun to answer purely hypothetical questions now and again.

voice;

[the_fourteenth]

In order: I did, I am from a version of Earth, and the one thing I want is to go home. It might be a boring answer, but it's the truth.

[This voice sounds a little young to be answering that their job involves fighting and being armed.]

Re: voice;

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Alright, but what would you ask for if you were home? I didn't necessarily say it had to be something you wanted for the cave specifically.

[am_i_a_monster]

I'd ask for my mom.

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Is she, um, is she back home?

[His voice is hesitant, he knows this is dangerous ground he's treading and he already misstepped with Jo earlier]

[evocation]

Harlan already called us out, but yeah, I did. I don't care if you ask questions.

Re: audio

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

So you both already knew each other? Co-workers or....?

(Audio)

[stonebird]

No, I was raised a lady on Westeros, however whilst in Ruby City, I was taught defensive skills. (She can do some damage now instead of crumbling or running for cover.)

I do not think Westeros is like Earth? I admit to not knowing much about that world. (Unless he is referring to Middle Earth/Arda.)

I am too old by far for dolls, but there was one my father gave me that I would like back very much.

Re: (Audio)

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

A lady? So you mean that you are royalty?

voice

[murderpotato]

Man, people're all about invasive fuckin' questions around here, ain't they?

[Seems like people ask them to start talking about personal shit fairly regular. Or, like, weird moral conundrums or something. Welcome to Hadriel, here's your fifty part questionnaire about your personal experiences and ethics.]

One, fightin' weren't my job, but I'd call it more of a hobby. People always say you should have fuckin' hobbies, right?

[NOT LIKE THAT, GREN.]

Two, kind of? It's fuckin' complicated, but I've been livin' in some variation of Earth for a long while.

And three, fuck off.

Re: voice

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

If you think that's invasive, I'd hate to see you have to fill out a job application.

This is kid's stuff.

[dreamsallotted]

I've done my fair share of fighting, the world isn't always a good place, it can be chaotic and irrational and uncertain. That being said, I'm a politician and consort. Any har at home in my tribes is at least expected to have proficiency with certain skills. Those skills can be used for offensive or defensive attacks, or for something more benign.

Second question, yes, I come from earth.

and your third.....I've asked for a great many things over the years, the one thing I have wanted. I've gotten them, but not always in the way you expect. Gifts tend to come with costs. At the moment, I'd like my son to be cognizant instead of staring at the walls. I'd like his partner to not be in critical condition. But at least they're alive.

[Seel's made no secret of his wishes, or the problems he's facing back home. It's not a secret, and not talking about it doesn't make it go away.Then again, neither does talking about it. Go figure.]

Re: Audio

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

[That's a lot to take in, and for a little while Whistler's not sure how to respond]

I'm sorry about your kid. And their partner.

[voice]

[sciencelizard]

Uh... n-no, I don't fight really. And, uhm, I don't actually know if I'm from Earth, that sounds like the human name for the planet, so, I think so, and uh... gosh, I don't know what I'd ask for, does it have to be a thing??

I'm sorry, this is, uhm, n-not helpful at all.

Re: [voice]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Don't apologize. I'm just happy you're answering at all.

It can be a thing, or a person, or for something you want to happen...the field is wide open.

voice;

[feelslikeimspilling]

Yes. It was a requirement that I was armed... Didn't care much for having to actually use it though.

And I'm afraid I came from dull old Earth.

[ There's amusement in his tone as he answeres the first few questions. The last, however, Will sounds deadly serious when he answeres what he'd want. ]

Florence, Italy.

Re: voice;

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

Hey, high five for being a fellow Dull-Old-Earthian.

You are going to wish for the entire city? Do you want to be mayor or something?

[farmboyjedi]

First question: I fought more than I wished I had to. I and the order I lead always use peaceful means when we are able, but we have had our share of battles, too. I spent the last few years leading them through a long, difficult war.

Second: I do. I was raised on a planet called Tattooine...now, I don't really have a single home. I spend time on our capital world, Coruscant...but I also spend time with my students on Ossus and many other worlds.

Third: Probably to meet my mother. Coming here, I have had the chance to meet my father, he's here now...but I have never met my mother. I've wanted to know her for so long...

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

I have a lot of questions about that other stuff, but first things first: Your dad who you had never met was here?
