It was not the most pleasant experience for me either when I was taken here"</em>Shade replied solely to Dahlia, his telepathy allowing him to pick and choose who could hear his mental whispers.<br/><br/>After her barrage of questions, and clear growing annoyance, Drip took a quick look around the room, noting that neither Prime nor Rayena had jumped in to give the usual introductions. In fact they both seemed to be out at the moment. He assumed Rayena was probably on break banging one of her frankly unnecessary number of wives, but Prime?...eh whatever, "whelp, I guess I'll take this one. I swear I feel like I've become just a greeter lately" he muttered with a sigh, kipping up out of his chair.<br/><br/>"Greetings greetings, it's a pleasure I'm sure. I understand you're all confused and probably pissed...well, definitely pissed..." he said, glancing at Dahlia as her hand brushed her gun, "Woah there pard'ner, I'd recommend against that..." he said with a placating hand motion, "If it's answers you want I can provide. Now, I wouldn't call them<em>good</em>answers, but they're at least honest ones..." he prefaced.<br/><br/>"The basic rundown is that you've been taken to a place called the Crossroads. Where is it? Well it's a pocket dimension residing between the different planes. Who are we? Just some other wayward adventurers who also got yoinked here. How did you get here? I don't know, fucking magic I guess. What's the quote unquote 'meaning' of this? Again, I don't know, what's the meaning of anything really?" Drip said with a shrug, "As for some other questions you may have. Who's in charge here? This big metal lady who calls herself Prime, and yes she is an egomaniac how could you tell? She's kind of a huge bitch, but she's also really powerful so...yeah...just kinda go along with whatever she tells you. Now, how do you leave? Supposedly we can come and go when we please with "intention", but we still haven't figured out what that really means or how it works. Usually if we take jobs or quests we get sent off back into the real world, so if you want to escape that's your best bet" he explained.<br/><br/>"Oh, and by the way. My name is Drip Hazelfluff, bard for hire. Teller of tales and strummer of strings, with a silver tongue and a golden throat" he cooed with a deep, flourishing bow, "If you're in need of entertainment, I'm yours for a price. If you're in need of<em>private entertainment</em>, I'm yours for a slightly higher price..." he added with a sly wink.<br/><br/>(everyone)<em>"And I'm Shade, it's a pleasure to meet you all"</em>Shade mentally announced with a friendly wave from the back of the room.
