The transition wasn't quite what Thalia expected. She shut her eyes, bracing herself for a sensation like being struck on the head, or hit with lightning, or... being pulled into a planar portal, maybe, that would be a fitting start to this adventure. Instead, she was merely there. Like one of those dreams that starts before you even realize you're sleepy. She didn't even lose her balance and topple over comically, face in the ground and finely-formed rump in the air for all to see.<br/><br/>Before she could wonder if she should fake it and make this entrance more theatrical, she realized she was standing face to face with an attractive young woman, and her odd, confused attempt at conversation had Thalia's curiosity pushing aside her showmanship. A figment of memory, struggling to adapt to this fake reality? She wondered how far this trip could diverge from the script... and whether it would even be safe to test it.<br/><br/>"Right." For now, Thalia merely greeted her with a smile and reassuring nod. She looked her up and down, wondering just what Vurunyr's relationship to her was, but kept any questions to herself.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">History check, untrained: https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=79138<br/><br/>I'm omniscient! ...Compared to an ogre.</div></div>
