So, I can't be the only one who's been smacked in the face with culture shock, right? Or technology-shock, because a lot of the shit that's here I've never seen or heard of and have no idea how it works. I've figured out a couple of things through trial and error, but I'm not too proud to admit most of my reaction is still 'no fucking clue'. For those in the same boat, how long did it take you to adjust? What's the craziest discovery you've made? And for those that aren't, care to lend some advice? I'll pay you in drinks or other stuff; if you've the patience to endure all my questions, you've earned it. 

I've said it elsewhere, but just repeating myself now: if you're on that hit list and not that great at defending yourself, let me know. I'm pretty damn good at that, and so is the large war dog at my side. [Said war dog lets out an eager bark.]

That makes for a good story, I'm told, but it sucks while you're living it. [Sigh. She knows, better than most.] It sounds like we have a lot in common; the archdemon's form was a dragon and it brought a shit-ton of darkspawn to the surface from below. Victory happened, but not without a ton of loss.

[hotspurred]

It seems that we do. [A beat.] And now we are caught in another war.

[Who needs rest anyway?]

I suppose I ought to introduce myself. I am Henry Percy. Here in Hadriel I am the commander of the Guard.

[paragonbrosca]

Nice to meet you, Henry. I guess they brought us here because we were too badass to leave behind, huh?

[Bark.] Yeah, yeah, you too.

Oh, right, the guard. So, how busy are you guys in an underground city with weird monsters and shit?

[hotspurred]

It varies. Yet we patrol and remain watchful even when all seems at peace. Peril is oft suddenly upon us here.

[He pauses, then says with faint amusement:]

An eager warrior, your dog?

[paragonbrosca]

Hell yeah, he is! Barkspawn helped me defeat an archdemon. He knows what he's doing, don't you, boy?

[Happy barking!]

[hotspurred]

Impressive.
