“That sounds… very strange.” Szabrin said, “My world doesn’t have one. It’s dark. All the time.” She shrugged her shoulders and fell silent.

“Sun?” Szabrin squinted up at the shining white disk. “I’m starting to think, Ellis Percaro, that you and I do not come from the same world.”

@jonas

Szabrin

Szabrin didn’t know what else to do, so she followed Ellis, if that was his given name. Szabrin could never tell with those tricky foreigner names.

“So, um, Ellis?” She said, after a few minutes of silence, “Do you know what that is?” She pointed at the blazing moon in the sky.

Rin cocked her head. “Strahcha.” She said, “I don’t know about other continents. The darkness makes traveling overseas difficult.”

Well, Imitating humans (or any sapient creature) is really really hard. You need to know a lot about the subject, and it has a lot to do with mind state. You almost have to convince yourself that you are that person, which takes a lot of knowledge about them. If you don’t understand them, the Imitation is not gonna stick. Plus, if yo…[Read more]

Interesting, Strahchi will do something similar, addressing each other by their middle and given name (though ofc for them the middle name comes before their given name). Adress only by given name is reserved only for family members. People rarely address each other by their ‘last’ name.

(it’s funny, because this is only supposed to be a sid…[Read more]

She is aware that not all cultures function on the same naming mechanics, so she’ll probably assume that since he gave no middle name (which are always one-syllable and follow a specific pattern) that his name works normally.

Actually wait, I take it back, fullblooded Strahchi can use Imitation ignore my mistake. I got mixed up.

@jonas

Szabrin

“I’m Strahchi.” Szabrin said, “Well, part. Pureblooded Strahchi can’t use Imitation…” She trailed off. “What’s Thae Shi? And where are you from? I don’t recognize these terms you’re using.”

Szabrin

Szabrin hesitated. “I… Imitated a bird. Flew up there.” She said, and then added defensively, “I got distracted.”

@trailblazer

Yeah… unfortunately, I know nothing about mysteries (I don’t know if I’ve vet read even one), so I won’t be able to help much.

Szabrin

Szabrin slid unceremoniously backwards off the roof, landing in an undignified heap. Embarrassed, she stood, dusting herself off. “Atiz Sa Szabrin.” She said, “Who are you? And where in the shadows am I?”

Szabrin’s name is probably going to confuse everyone XD

Szabrin

Szabrin jolted as she found herself in a new place flooded with light.

Ahchi’s eyes! She thought, Where is all this light coming from?

Squinting, she looked up at the sky. It was blue, and for a moment she caught sight of a blazing white disk, like a moon but impossibly bright. Then she was forced to drop her gaze; it was too much l…[Read more]

Ok, I think I’ll have her run into Ellis first, just because I feel like that will work better for her…?

@keilah-h

I’m good with that.

Ok, charrie numero dos.

Atiz Sa Szabrin

(Strahchi names are reversed, so Szabrin is her first name)

Szabrin, or Rin, has dark hair that falls to her waist, light colored eyes and skin, and wears a white blouse and an ankle-length, many-layered skirt.

She has some very basic training in Imitation (name pending), which allows her to essentially…[Read more]

@rae

I don’t think so.

Oh yeah, I’ve done that XD once I was doing math for school, and instead of the math problem I ended up writing several words from an annoying song that was playing in my head (don’t remember what it was, though).
