(https://i.imgur.com/yVRQ0ZH.jpg) <br/><hr/><hr/>To say he was nervous would be the understatement of the year. Ishmael was about to venture into a location no one in his tribe had never dared go near but had been more than happy to tell moral tales of. Tales and song were all his tribe had offered and he was the first of their kind to come here. While he found some of songs and tales morbidly interesting; now he was there it was very different. To add on to his uneasy feeling was the fact he had been put into a group of people whom he did not know until a few hours ago. However, two of them he had heard of through song and rumour: <br/><br/>One was known as Moxie. Seeing this mini warrior had made him excited when he had first arrived. She was even cuter in person and the song had not done her justice. More so in how she held herself, not to mention the adorable creature that travelled with her. He hadn't gotten a chance to talk to her properly yet but was half hoping he'd get to at some point... if things calmed down enough for a conversation. The other was Kyoko, who had him on edge slightly. While he was usually neutral around people, it was slightly difficult when you had heard horrible things about a person and they were proving some of the rumours true with every second you were around them. He could tell being with her in this group was going to test his patience. <br/><br/>The other three were unknown beyond introductions but judging from the small amount he knew so far he was interested in getting to know them some more. Afterall, he did want to write about the people he had this adventure with. <br/><br/>While in the lift he looked at his dog tags and ran his fingers over the engraving of his name. The writing was tiny; just as well considering how long his name was. Ishmael then proceeded to tuck his tags down his shirt, earning a small chinking sound as the two of them knocked together. The half-breed didn't want them getting in the way nor interfering with his own jewellery that was already on display. Although, just as he put them away he ended up bumping into Jon, who was knocked into Candi when Kyoko decided to test the strength of the makeshift lift. Ishmael quickly glared at Kyoko but she had already jumped off before he could tell her off for her actions. Sure he could see how this would be exciting but did she have NO sense of danger? The half-elf simply sighed at her antics. <br/><br/><strong>"Well... this is certainly different..."</strong> Was all he could really say as they landed into the field of rather lewd things.<br/><br/>Ishmael wasn't exactly a prude nor excited by the sight of the scenery. It was very beautiful in its own twisted way and it definitely would be something to talk to others about. He made a mental note to write all of this down once they set up a camp at some point. How could he not? If they survived this it would be a hell of a tale to tell. While he was tempted to touch the strange looking foliage his common sense told him not to. But he was soon drawn away from gazing upon the rather "suggestive" plants when he, like everyone else in the group, heard the loud screech. Before he could react it would seem the more experienced adventurers bolted ahead to investigate. Looking back to Jon and Candi he quickly joined the three women and could only but raise a curious eyebrow at the sight. Ishmael really wasn't sure what to make of it. She was suffering from the corruption and despite the screech, she looked to be anything BUT pain. He looked to Xie and Moxie as they voiced their opinions and simply nodded in agreement. But before he could examine the female any more Kyoko spoke up and while she seemed reasonable at first her second idea quickly disgusted him. They didn't even know the situation properly and she was making such a horrible suggestion? <br/><br/><strong>"Of course it is wrong! Have you no sense of empathy?"</strong> Ishmael scolded. He wasn't usually easily annoyed but she was just proving some of the rumours true. 'Kyoko the heartless harlot' was the one that came to mind at that second. <strong>"Fallen adventurer it would seem. But I think we should still be able to communicate on some level."</strong> He responded to Xie and Moxie.<br/><br/>Ishmael then looked to the others to see what they thought. A few ideas came to mind but he felt more input was needed before they made any rash actions. <br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC: Bardic Lore - Legends of Heroes Past</div><div class="spoiler_body">GM: Would Ishmael know of about this part of Gaia and what happens to people who become corrupt? For example: are people in this shape, able to understand what is going on and such. Or would they not understand anything and just be aggressive?<br/>Could you also tell me how he would have come across this information? Song, Tales, Dance, etc.</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table>
