	Pick a name, huh? I guess that answers one question already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Probably. You've probably got a lot more at this point, so I'll see what I can do about answering them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is there some kind of pamphlet I can get, maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 03:42 am UTC (link)
	It's all oral, sorry. The inscription on the wall's about as close as you get, and that's not very informative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your unit is your blah blah blank slate blah judges blah thee thy etcetera? Yeah, not the best explanation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Okay, basics. We call this place Sabra La Tau, and everyone wakes up without memories; we win them back in the Judges' Games. It sounds crazy, but we agreed to this because the Judges have enough power to grant any one wish we ask for, and after we've spent enough time down here, that's the prize we win.

	You're right, it does sound crazy. [but gestures 'keep going'] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 04:01 am UTC (link)
	It gets crazier, but we can save the really weird stuff for the advanced lecture. Anyway, there are sixteen teams that compete in the Games, divided by color. We're partners, which is why your dorm's connected to ours. We're allowed to work together in a lot of the Games, and we watch out for each other outside them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eye_ofthe 2011-01-17 04:07 am UTC (link)
	That already makes the wall inaccurate. 'None other can thy trust, except for a team we'll designate specifically to be your partners'... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 04:09 am UTC (link)
	It's not all that accurate anyway, honestly, except for the part where we did this willingly and compete in the Games. We didn't always have partner teams, and they never changed the wall when they added them...probably because 'no other can thou trust' sounds more dramatic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh boy. So who're these Judge guys? They sound like real winners. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They used to be worshipped as gods on this plane; to make a long story short, the surface isn't exactly inhabitable anymore, and they moved down here and started dragging people in from around the multiverse. A few of them are decent, a few of them are seriously insane, and most are unpleasant but in predictable ways. I'll give you the list when we're done covering basics.

	[... rubs his temples] Should I be sitting down for this? It seems like it'll take a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You probably want to have a seat. Maybe once you've eaten; we've got breakfast cooking, and Masamune can put together food for the three of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[sssits] Breakfast, huh? We'll make up for it once we're more settled, promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Don't worry about it; we're supposed to take care of each other. Any questions before I move on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eye_ofthe 2011-01-17 04:33 am UTC (link)
	Right. Uh, one- how do people usually choose names? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 04:37 am UTC (link)
	Mostly, people throw out a bunch of suggestions and they pick one that sounds good, or they choose one that represents something they aspire to. Some teams have themes -- Pyxis was all birds for a while, so they had Crow and Raven and Dove. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eye_ofthe 2011-01-17 04:39 am UTC (link)
	[rubs the back of his neck] All right, that makes sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 04:44 am UTC (link)
	We usually lean towards animal or weather names, so...Drake, Storm, Talon, Gale, Baloth, Bear...any of these sound better than the others? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eye_ofthe 2011-01-17 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Probably not Bear, since that's kind of redundant what with the team name and all... I like the first three, but what's a Baloth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a big predator, native to a couple of planes I've heard of. Not very bright, but very hard to stop. holds out a hand, and a small transparent image of this forms above it. Like that, only about the size of a dorm or bigger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eye_ofthe 2011-01-17 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Freaky-looking. Hmmm... I kind of like Talon. It's not too... [wwwaves hand :\|a] obvious? But it's still pretty cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2011-01-17 04:57 am UTC (link)
	the image vanishes I can see it. Talon, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eye_ofthe 2011-01-17 05:04 am UTC (link)
	[nod!!] All right, good. That seems like a pretty important thing to get out of the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
