The Network: May, Arrivals from Distant Lands

The Watches Everyone who arrives in an unorthodox way and eventually shows up at the Coven for 'orientation', will receive a strange, watch-like device compliments of the Coven and Parliament. Miss Nessie or one of the welcome wagon crew will give characters a run-down of how to use the various functions and they are encouraged to test them out for themselves. It would be good for them to get in touch with their fellow Mirrorbound, of course! Fourth wall characters will not be able to make their own posts in the communities, so they may use this post to make "network posts" of their own by top-leveling. The log post is right over here. Fourth Wall characters can comment on posts made by others in both aefenglom and middaeg until June 1st. Current players: Please specify in your posts if you do NOT want fourth wall characters replying!

[Although she only says so much, it's not at all what he expected, and a mild look of surprise crosses his face; he only has so much energy left to emote properly. Similarly, he decides to refrain from lifting his own hand to preserve what he has left; a slight nod will have to do for a greeting.

First things first, he supposes.]

My name is Connor.

[He pauses for a moment, expression settling into something more serious. While it's true that he's procured a temporary bonding potion in case of emergency, the implications of bonding right now, for this situation in particular, cause him to hesitate. He doesn't want her to agree to such a thing without understanding what it would be like, at least partly.]

It's a possibility, but... it wouldn't be a pleasant experience for you.

[He wouldn't have normally expressed the idea with such certainty, but he does actually know what it's like to be mentally connected to an android when they die. It's Bad and he doesn't recommend it.]

[ Even from her voice, Jill tends to not be what's expected of her. From a distance, she has the body shape that suggests she's much taller than the barely five-five that she is. She exudes the confidence of a woman much taller and clearly either is in a position of power or gives off the vibe of it even if she isn't. Military. ]

Nice to meet you, Connor.

[ Jill makes her way to sit beside him, twisting at the waist to face him but not close enough that her body touches his. She can be a touchy-feely person, but outside of arm punches, high fives, and fist bumps she tries to keep it more selective and with consideration of another's personal space. ]

I can promise I've been through plenty unpleasant experiences. If you can guide me through it and it'll help you, we should do it. Otherwise let's get started. So, I hold your hand? [ She offers her, palm facing upward with fingers curved at the knuckles. The invitation isn't forced and pushed too close, leaving space between them. ] If you need to do this, you need to do this. Better it's over and done with, yeah?
