... Down down down she went

[whatshesawthere]

Just arrived and feeling dizzy?
Mind confused and brain all fizzy?
I'm not surprised you're in a tizzy!

But welcome travelers from worlds of old
You'll find our town a welcome home
And if your wandering bones are cold,
Why not join us down The Rabbit Hole?






[ooc: Welcome everyone to Burby! Upon arrival, your character may see this sign outside of the impressive hotel near the centre square, The Rabbit Hole. To welcome the new guests, the proprietress of this fine establishment has set up an informal tea in the main lobby. Feel free to wander in and mingle amongst the other travelers. Tea, wine, and refreshments provided!]

[ He's like an overenthusiastic bearpuppy. It's really hard to be grumpy in the face of his enthusiasm. ]

She's probably right if you don't have any training. Are you going to be an armorer?

[overactiveimagination]

[It's less endearing several hours later when he's still at the same energy level.]

I took a correspondence class a few summers ago. Although my main interested is still in the supernatural.

[lawbender]

[ She lifts a disapproving eyebrow. ]

The supernatural?

[overactiveimagination]

Yeah! Ghosts, vampires, mummies. Werewolves. I'm actually one of the world's foremost experts on lyncanthropes. Well, the only not-evil one.

[lawbender]

I'm not a big believer in the spirit world. [ She's quite unimpressed. ]

[overactiveimagination]

Oh. I am. Once you've had your butt kicked by vampires and werewolves and mummies and grim reapers, you tend to become a believer.

[lawbender]

I've been a policewoman for thirty years and never seen a thing like that.

[overactiveimagination]

Yeah, that's what the cops always say. I still stand by that those dogs eyes were glowing!

[lawbender]

[ Well, there goes your credibility. ]

Of course.

What was that country you mentioned? Japan? I'm not familiar.

[ Well, time to attempt to sort all this out. ]

[overactiveimagination]

Yes. Small island country, off the coast of Asia. Famed for fearsome Samurais and delicious sushi. Do you come from a world where it's called something different?

[lawbender]

[ Sushi, okay, she totally knows what that is. And she has an idea of samurai, although the concept isn't exactly the same in her culture. ] There are only four nations in the world -- in my world -- and that isn't one of them.

[overactiveimagination]

So you come from a parallel dimension! Awesome. Tommy and I went to one of those once, so to an ill-timed trip through a wormhole into 1989.

What are the four nations?

[He looks moments away from taking notes.]

[lawbender]

A parallel-- never mind.

[ This kid was nuts. At least he was harmless. ]

There's the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, the Water Tribes, and the Air Nomads... although they don't have much of a territory right now. With Republic City as supposed neutral ground.
