vallo

( there might have been something fundamentally wrong with Jaina that this was the most at home she'd felt since her arrival )

Hello, yes, hi, normally I would fill this space with some flirtatious banter or something...else witty, I don't know, but the things in the forest? They have cloaks and look like human birds? Are from Tranavia. They're called Vultures. They're blood mages, like we are, but they're...worked on? Tortured? We don't completely know how they're made, but they're made and then they're much more powerful. They're a bit like a secret police, a bit like a military. I was tutored by one, he was eccentric but not so bad compared to the rest of my tutors.

But when the process of becoming a Vulture goes--wrong--they lose their humanity and they're much more powerful because they do not listen to anyone or anything, they do not recognize limits, they are more monster than human. Which is what these are.

I think I am rambling a bit

Here's what you need to know. They're incredibly fast, and they fly, which yes, that is where the name comes from you're welcome. They're very good at just about everything because they do not care and they cannot be reasoned with. Once they set their minds (because they have a bit of a hive mind, I don't know more than that to explain it) to something, they will achieve that thing. Which is usually death. They use fire, mostly, but they've been known to create earthquakes, rip boulders out of the earth, that sort of thing. And then they have monster claws and teeth that have torn apart armor like a piece of paper.

You can behead them. That is it. Otherwise, they will keep going. They have no sense of pain, or compassion, or empathy, or anything. If you are going somewhere, I suggest it is in groups. I'll be out as well.

Serefin

I'll take care of it.

I am not underestimating you.

WHO: Rey & Poe Dameron
WHAT: Rey reunites with Poe - and BB-8!
WHERE: Leia Luke & Poe's apartment
WHEN: Backdated to Rey's arrival. After this.
WARNINGS: None!
STATUS: Complete

( How bleak their chances for survival had seemed back home was the reason she needed to reunite with him, and see for herself that he was okay too. )

I've heard there's work here for anyone who arrives, and I'd like to contribute.

Granted I've not exactly explored a great deal of Vallo City yet, but I know how to scavenge Star Destroyers tech for valuable parts. I put together a decent speeder, and know my way around starship repair.

You know, I would probably be a little less [...] frustrated with not being in Atlantis anymore if my x-wing had come with me. At least no one has asked me to fight another war yet and I've definitely been stuck in worse situations.

Anyway, hello. I'm new here obviously and my name is Jaina.

ELOISE

It's me, Daphne. I'm [...] back? Which is very strange for me to say considering I don't remember ever having left and the only indication of such would be the missing time and the reaction of our brother upon finding me at the DOA. But I'm here and Anthony promises this won't take long (not that I really have anything to compare it to considering the nature of our previous arrivals) so I promise I will come find you as soon as we're done here. I'm sorry I left, Eloise, even if I had no say in the matter.

[later] PUBLIC

It seems as though Vallo wasn't quite done with me after all. On the plus side, I didn't land in another snowglobe--that I know of--this time! Which is to say hello, I'm Daphne. Back again.

Anyone up for a hump day bar crawl?

Hey, roomie - got a potentially existential crisis inducing question for you if you're up for it?

I hear someone new arriving here isn't exactly unexpected - but I don't think I've been to a world quite like this one before.

I'm Rey.


[Filtered to Luke Skywalker]

Hello. Leia mentioned you were here and I though perhaps we could talk. We've met, actually. In my world- or my time in our galaxy. I'm from the same time Leia is. this is not getting off to a good st

Who: Leia Organa & Rey
Where: Probably the fringes of the forest, but anywhere between there and town.
When: Tuesday 16th February, late morning
What: Rey arrives in Vallo!
Warnings: Don’t expect any.

( But then she woke up; there was dappled, but bright sunlight above her, trees towering over her as she lay amongst the debris of a forest floor. )
