Open Alternian Multi-Person Live Action

[Astridify]

Astrid happily takes the device, and follows the given directions. Once the app is opened, she enters in “Astrid Willow” as her name, and “Slyvious” as her symbol. One of the very few skills that she’s learned throughout the sweeps, is how to type whilst looking elsewhere, which she puts to good use.

ASTRID: ...thats a preetty eexplanatoooory proooogram namee iiif iii say soooo myseelf haha
ASTRID: ...ooook, iii eenteereed thee stuuuuuff, what noooow?

[finallyDeme]

CEDRIC: [=] do whatever you want [=]
CEDRIC: [=] er [=]
CEDRIC: [=] dont open the homework folder [=]

[Astridify]

(Shoot, forgot to add her quirk on the message before this, I’ll add it rn)

Astrid raises an eyebrow, and opens her mouth to ask what that means.


ASTRID: ...uuuuuh, what iiis-

Astrid snaps her mouth closed as a light indigo blush stains her cheeks.

ASTRID: ...uuuuum, oooohh..
ASTRID: ...iiim gooooiiing toooo preeteend iii doooont knoooow what that meeant..

She makes sure not to click anywhere near that folder as she opens up the group chat and sends her first message in quite a while.

sleepyStarlight[SS] has rejoined the memo!

SS: ...iiim back, doooouuuuucheebags

(FYI, when sending actual messages into the memo, I’ll use the original multi-user group chat post thingy, though I’ll still use this for actual irl rping)

Cedric's eyes widen.

CEDRIC: [=] get ready for a crash landing [=]

[Astridify]

Astrid looks up from the borrowed palmhusk and raises an eyebrow.

ASTRID: ...huuuuuh?

[finallyDeme]

As Astrid says that, the dragon lands roughly in a giant cave. Cedric hops off, somehow not disconcerted at all by the rough landing. He runs over to the opening of the cave. Most of the drones have been either destroyed or not able to keep up, but the remaining ones are at strong. He presses a button, a door falling, slowly. A drone barely gets through, getting chopped in half by the door.

CEDRIC: [-] nice [-]
CEDRIC: [-] anyway [-]
CEDRIC: [-] welcome to my base [-]

[Astridify]

Astrid has to take a second to calm down from her crazed screaming(not that she would admit it) and take a few breaths before she carefully hops off Cedric’s huge lusus and wobbles her way over to her new friend, palmhusk still clutched in her palms.

She looks around the cave cautiously, as if the cave could come crumbling down on them in a matter of seconds. She feels a little bit guilty, considering she had only just been complaining about her huge fancy hive being blown up, even though she could probably easily get it rebuilt, though it must be at least slightly harder to do for lower-bloods.

She takes a shaky breath, still slightly frazzled from the landing that her jade-blood companion was so easily able to brush off.

ASTRID: ...eerm
ASTRID: ...thanks? :]?

[finallyDeme]

CEDRIC: [-] you're welcome [-]
CEDRIC: [-] this is actually my job [-]

[Astridify]

ASTRID: ...joooob..?

Astrid takes another glance around the cave, her mouth practically a question mark. Well that just gives her even more questions.

ASTRID: ...fiiirst oooof all, what joooob doooo yoooouuuuu havee?
ASTRID: ...alsoooo, hoooow many sweeeeps oooold aree yoooouuuuu??

[finallyDeme]

CEDRIC: [-] seven, almost eight [-]
CEDRIC: [-] zaz doesn't do shit around here so [-]

[Astridify]

Astrid nods thoughtfully as she takes another glance around the cave. She decides that once this is all over, she’ll use her high blood allowance to decorate and spice the place up. It’s probably the absolute least Cedric deserves after...well, saving her life.

She glances at Cedric’s lusus and decides she should probably do something nice for it too. After all, she had just been using it as transportation just a second ago.

Well, that’s if she sees them again after this. For all she knows she could die doing what she’s planning to do. Despite the fact that trolls spend their whole lives in a constant state of knowing they could die at any time, which is a even more common thing for lower bloods, it still sends a shiver down Astrid’s spine. She really hasn’t ever been the more violent kind, and it shows.

ASTRID: ...ooooh, weell iiim neearly 7 and a half sweeeeps

Astrid sighs as the adrenaline starts to wear off a little bit. Now that she’s in a safe place(or at least she hopes Cedric’s base is a safe place) she doesn’t have all that much fuel to keep this going. Back before Cedric had arrived at her newly blown up hive, and when the drones had only just found her, she had been sure she was going to be culled.

She also realizes how she’s contributed exactly nothing to their plan so far, besides stealing Cedric’s palmhusk to communicate with random people, one of which being the person who had just blown up her hive.

Well, might as well keep up the pattern, huh?

ASTRID: ...weell, noooow what?

[finallyDeme]

CEDRIC: [-] well, ironically [-]
CEDRIC: [-] im having some people over tonight [-]
CEDRIC: [-] for some flarping, sort of. its on a board [-]
CEDRIC: [-] so its like flarping but no actual harm done and we're not actually walking around [-]
CEDRIC: [-] our game master calls it dnd [-]

He seems excited to be playing this game, but then turns serious.

CEDRIC: [-] but tomorrow night? [-]
CEDRIC: [-] we hunt that shitty bronzeblood down [-]

[Astridify]

Astrid grins in what is a mix of smugness and slight fear at Cedric’s last words. She’s looking forward to revenge, even if she’s still a bit worried about how they’re going to pull it off. Hopefully, the game Cedric mentioned will take her mind off of it.

She quickly realizes, however, that she has absolutely no idea how to Flarp, much less to play the twisted version of it the jade-blood before her is mentioning. Ah well, she guesses she could just watch. After all, she still needs to do a bit of investigation work in the chat room. Hopefully Cedric wasn’t planning on using his palmhusk.

ASTRID: ...aweesoooomee >:]
ASTRID: ...iii suuuuuppoooosee iiill juuuuust foooolloooow yoooouuuuur leead

[finallyDeme]

CEDRIC: [-] oh and i'll need my palmhusk back [-]
CEDRIC: [-] hold on [-]

He goes digging through some drawers, and pulls out a blue palmhusk.

CEDRIC: [-] here's one, can i have mine back [-]

He tosses the blue one to her.

[Astridify]

Astrid nearly drops the palmhusk she was already holding in favor of catching the new one, but manages to keep both of them intact in the end. She examines the blue palmhusk, and comes to find that the shade of blue is practically identical to her blood color.

ASTRID: ...ooooh..

She smiles as she hands the original palmhusk back. She honestly doesn’t really know why she’s happy, she knows she won’t even be able to keep it. Perhaps everything that’s been happening is making her crazy? Probably.

ASTRID: ...thank yoooouuuuu :]

Her smile only finally falters when she feels a stinging feeling in her chest. She cringes and wraps her arms around herself, as if she were giving herself a hug and looks up to Cedric.

The higher up you are on the hemospectrum, the more food you need to eat to keep yourself moving and healthy. Regardless though, she pretty much always forgets to feed herself, which passes the job on to her poor lusus...

Speaking of lusus...

ASTRID: ...eermm
ASTRID: ...nooow that moooost oooof thee droooonees aree preeeetty muuuuuch goooonee moooost liiikeely
ASTRID: ...coooouuuuld yoooouuuuu pleeasee oooopeen thee doooooooor thiiing toooo leet my luuuuusuuuuus iiin?

She lowers her voice slightly in embarrassment of having to ask for so many things, and from the person who’s already saved her life in multiple ways nonetheless.

ASTRID: ...and doooo yoooouuuuu havee any fooooooood..?

[finallyDeme]

CEDRIC: [-] oh yeah [-]
CEDRIC: [-] ask zaz and they'll nod you to the kitchen [-]
CEDRIC: [-] ration some ok [-]
CEDRIC: [-] and i'll get your lusus [-]

Cedric goes over, putting on some clown makeup, putting on some fake horns to mask over his own, and putting on some more clown clothes.

CEDRIC: [-] how do i look, lol +u+

He seems to be a completely different person.

[Astridify]

Astrid’s eyes widen slightly, a her look a equal mix of amazed and slight disgust. She doesn’t really have much against the blood caste directly above her, but it is still sort of...hmm...surprising? Yeah, let’s go with that.

ASTRID: ...iiits veery...
ASTRID: ...spoooot oooon..?
ASTRID: ...whats thee pooooiiint oooof iiit anyways?

[finallyDeme]

CEDRIC: i gotta get your lusus back don't i

[Astridify]

Astrid blinks for a second before the logic finally clicks in her head, causing her to facepalm from the embarrassment of even asking. She doesn’t bother to dwell on the fact that Cedric had all these stuff in his possession in the first place, which would be a pretty stupid thing to do considering all the evidence the jade-blood probably already has against her.

Instead, she makes the much smarter approach and thanks him yet again.

ASTRID: ...ooooh, thank yoooouuuuu

Astrid turns around to follow Cedric’s lusus, or Zaz as she’s been informed of, but turns around back towards Cedric.

ASTRID: ...aree yoooouuuuu suuuuree yoooouuuuu doooont want mee toooo coooomee oooor soooomeethiiing?
