I'll bow an appropriate amount in return.

Al wrote:Thank you, Sato-san

I'll lead on through the door.

Frank wrote:Others eh? Lets hope there's someone to heal our mage next time he falls over!

Frank, quietly to Al wrote:What did you call him? Potato skin? I take it he's a bit higher up the food chain than the statues outside?

Al, quietly wrote:Mister Sato. Yeah, he's someone we might get polite conversation out of.

Sato-san gestures to some chairs. They are pretty normal chairs, and look massively out of place. The rest of the place looks like you have just walked into a film set. Its got those funny walls made of paper, and very little in the way of furniture, other than the chairs.

Sato-san wrote:Please, sit. I will let Sensei Kitsune know you have arrived. While you wait, would you like some tea?

You also notice that there are other people in the room, sitting around on the chairs. A dwarf, an elf, and a human.

In case you haven't figured it out, that's you, new people. You have received similar messages and had similar experiences getting to the room.

Say hi.

Frank, to the new faces. wrote:Hi dudes, I'm Frank. I build and fix guns and armour. I dabble in blowing stuff up and I'm pretty handy with the guns too. Seems you'll be joining this merry band on our next adventure. So who are y'all and what you good at?

Frank wrote:I'll take a buzz lite if you've got it Mister Sato. I'm not one for hot drinks. Is it okay if we smoke in here?

I'll grab a chair next to the new peeps.

The elf is sat quietly, looking as though he is focusing on something in front of him.

He's quite non-descript, with close cropped blonde hair, wearing overalls, a pair of large combat boots and a dark brown duster. He also has on a pair of opaque goggles and gloves.

A datajack port is visible on his left temple.

N-zo wrote:Tea would be nice, thank you

He nods politely to Mister Sato, then refocuses on whatever he was looking at.

The grey-bearded Dwarf looks up with a tentative smile and nods at the newcomers.

Nikolai wrote:Pri'viet, my name is Nikolai, Frank. It is great pleasure to meet your team.
I show you what I can do when we head back down to car park, my van is there.

Nik' speaks English quite clearly, but with a heavy Russian accent.
He already seems to be nursing a shallow cup of clear liquid.

I would give a description, but short of the beard and the top of a tan jacket, most of him is obscured by the table.

Frank wrote:Hey Nikolai, good to meet you! You managed to get coversation out the elf? Or has he just sat there staring at his own nose?

I'm not sure I know you well enough to get in your van with you. Aren't you meant to offer me sweets first? I'm just kiddin' you man, put it there.

*extends a hand toward Nikolai*

Frank wrote:Mister Sato, I'm dying for that smoke and if I can't light up in here how long is your boss gonna be? I got time to nip outside for a quick nicotine fix?

Thank you Sato-san. Tea will do nicely.

Seeing as we're introducing ourselves here, I'm Leland. Glad to meet you all.

Leland in Sperethiel wrote:Hello there. What do we call you?

Chopper-san wrote:Ooh, meta-humans! How's it hanging? A little low I bet eh Nikolai! Hahaha. I'm Chopper. I, er, chop things?

Drink? Beer, nothing fancy. And none of that crap brewed from rice either.

A young girl in a traditional Geisha getup shuffles out from a side room with tea for everyone who asks for it.

Santo-san wrote:Many apologies, Nazum-san, we have only tea to offer. You may certainly smoke, however.

He clicks his fingers, and another Geisha shuffles out with a ashtray shaped like a little curled up eastern dragon, and stands patiently next to you. shes holding the tray out, and staring at the floor.

Jon sits in his Ulysses Line coat and watches them with interest as they enter the room, then says in a rough British accent which sounds like it has been forced to poshen up a bit

Jon Krinkle wrote: Hi guys, I'm Jon. Good to meet you

Jon extends his hand

Jon Krinkle wrote:I fancy myself as a bit of a driver but we can go into that a bit later, looks like we have company

Jon's accent seems to slip slightly at the thought of a cuppa

Jon Krinkle wrote:Ahhhh tea, you angel! Cheers

Nikolai shakes hands with whoever offers one to shake.
He also doesn't look very pleased with Chopper's cheap short joke.

However, he turns to Jon with a smile and lifts his little cup.

Nikolai wrote:Ah! A driver? What do you drive, Jon?

Frank wrote:Easy on the meta jokes chopper. That shit boils my piss.

Didn't you need one in fact? See what happens when you try and use a paper wall as the door to the latrine, you know you want to.

Frank, to Sato and the geisha wrote:Listen, I'm not one for having human furniture so I'll just take this off her and hold it myself. No arguments.

And if tea is all you got then I'll have a pint of it with loads of sweetener in. I'll let that other painted lady sort that one out for me. You run along love and stop looking at the floor.

*Takes the ashtray of the geisha and gestures at her to bugger off whilst looking at Sato*

Frank wrote:Hi Jon, driver eh? I tend to let computers do that, but I guess in a tight spot some fancy skills are always good.

*shakes hands with Jon too, then sparks up a red apple with the old zippo*

Frank wrote:Aaaah, that's the good stuff.

Without rudely interrupting any of the conversation, I'll introduce myself;

Al wrote:Al Haynes. I mostly talk to people. Might not sound much, but I counteract Chopper. Pleased to meet you.

I'll shake Nikolai's hand, and ideed anyone else who offers it. I'll also take some tea and thank Sato-san in Japanese.

Al wrote:Love the coat Jon. You buy that in London?

Oops, I appear to have done a silly and said that Nikolai is obscured by a table that doesn't exist.

In such case, you can see a floppy Russian style hat resting on his lap, with a red and gold V crest on the front. It matches the toggle on the end of his beard braid. There appear to be various things stuffed in his coat pocket, it looks pretty full with toys.

Jon raises his mug back to Nikolai

Krinkle-San wrote:I'll drive anything with an engine! My current set of wheels is a Tata Hotspur which i'm rather fond of

Jon shakes Al by the hand

Jon wrote:Cheers! Indeed I did pick it up there, couple of years back when things were a little more... what's the word... well... let's just say life has changed for me somewhat in the last couple of years. Used to live in London and travel around Europe with work if you can call it that(!)

Jon to Frank wrote:Computers can be useful I grant you, but I would imagine it's not easy to make them scare the shit out of everyone both in and around the car while just about keeping it on the road

Jon grins

N-Zo to Leyland, In Sperethiel wrote:Names N-zo, bear with me, I need to compile this Data

You notice his fingers twitching slightly, almost as if he is typing.

Frank wrote:What did he say? Looks like he plays with computers.

Yeah he's a techie that's for sure. He said he's compiling something or other, whatever the hell that means.
