[ There’s a narrow face peering close at the console - high cheekbones and a nasty scar poking out from under the red cloth that covers the man’s right eye. Or lack thereof. He peers for a moment before leaning back, arms crossing as he speaks up. ]

I’m looking for other Scoia’tael in the area. I’d settle for another elf alone, between the mass of humans milling around here. [ A derisive snort, and Iorveth looks to the side for the moment - pointed ears at the side of his head incidentally apparent. ] The dh’oine stink of this place is enough to make one gag.

[ A moment of contemplation and the elf picks at the dirt under blunted nails idly as he speaks. ]

I’ve set my camp in a tree on the outskirts of the wood sector. [ His tone goes a little deadpan, with the same kind of condescension in it, but it’s very matter of fact. ] It’s a mass of wooden planks, rope, rough cloth and a six foot, one eyed elf - it shouldn’t be that hard to miss. I’m giving you dh’oine fair warning - there are traps laid around the perimeter and any who manage to pass those will take an arrow between the eyes.

If there’s a need for me to say it more than once, your race will likely be better off without you.

[ A pause, and he’s about to end the transmission, when he glances back, considering. ]

Gwynbleidd - If you’re here, come speak with me.

[[ ooc; On translations: I left the original Elder Speech words in here, even though they’ll be understood by anyone listening just like anything else, mainly to signal when Iorveth’s accent would have shifted between what he understands as Common and what he says in Elder speech. ANYWHO. Here.
Scoia’tael - directly translated: squirrels. It’s a band of nonhuman guerrilla warriors, though. But all that would be understood is ‘squirrels’ :’|
dh’oine - human. spoken in a derogatory tone
Gwynbleidd - White Wolf. ]]

Do they even sell moonshine around here? God, I thought that was something only people in the mountains used. [You know what's sad? She is not even joking. This is a serious conversation to her.]

[ .....Vanessa, you are precious. ] Generally I think the idea is to dump whatever won't kill you from ingesting into a tub and mix it in with grain alcohol. I wouldn't imagine selling it would be very lucrative.

[Too precious for this wooooooorld.] Alcohol doesn't really sound appealing at all, when you describe it that way.

Human made, at least. I'd imagine cat piss might taste better. And be less toxic. [ He is super charming. ] If you want something worth the coin, I'd suggest something dwarven brewed.

[The most charming. Look at the charmed look on her face.] I've never met a dwarf before.

That's very unfortunate. [ They're angry, drunk little people, but they're fun. He likes them, even if they make fun of him. ] They make for good company.

They don't actually exist where I'm from. I mean, there are little people, but I don't actually think they like being called that. [Oh my God, she's just insulted people.]

[ deadpan ] And it is an insult to be termed a dwarf by your people?

[ racists ]

Some short people think it's an insult to be called a dwarf. It's called the power of being politically correct.

[ incredulous laugh here ] The government would rather short humans be some manner of deformed, but anything still human rather than non?

So humanity continues to be just as absurd in their prejudices in any world.

[She's not even going to pretend she understood that.]

There aren't... really non-humans in my world, but it definitely sounds like prejudice doesn't end with humanity.

[staring atchu, elf man.]

[ no worries, he's just being crazy and offended at everything ]

Perhaps doesn't end, but in the Northern Kingdoms of my world, starts with in all certainty.

[Well, stop that, racist elf.]

You're not in your world anymore.

[ B( no ]

I realize. But humanity was not from my world either. I have little faith the nature of their race changes on different planes.

[BC]

How did they get to your world?

[ BP ]

The Conjunction of the Spheres. Two worlds collided. Man and magic crossed to ours.

A portal opened?

[She's really got to stop this obsession with portals.]

[ go talk to chell ]

No. Two separate dimensions collided. Others merely appeared in our land.

Portals are more simple a business.

How do dimensions collide?

Mystical phenomenon is not a specialty of mine.

You're just a wealth of information, aren't you?

I'm no scholar. Nor am I permitted in the lands Elven scholars reside in.

[She's going to be asking you questions for all eternity, Iorveth.] Why are there different lands for scholars?

[ omfg dh'oine child [ There are not, specifically. The state they elders and their well-learned students reside in is not a place the Scoia'tael are permitted.

[ A snort and he glances aside, voice a little more snide ] A valley of the old and sterile with a puppet queen. The knowledge within it is about all Dol Blathanna is useful for.

[There's nothing wrong with a healthy curiosity.] Knowledge is power though. If this place has it, puppet queen or not, it still has power.
