[A: arrival // caravan]
Oh, huh. It moved the words to the front.
[The courtesy trip to the Red Springs might be more uncomfortable than it strictly needed to be if you wound up in this particular caravan. It's not that the demonic-looking horned creature inside takes up an excessive amount of physical space - hunched over in one of the passenger seats, it's currently no larger than a bulky breed of dog. But what it lacks in fur and cuteness, it makes up for with pulsating orange veins, oversized claws, twitching elbow tentacles and uncannily human-like matted hair. Every pore of its leathery brown skin radiates a quiet malevolence. It isn't pretty.
Compounding the problem, if only slightly, is the fact that the boy slouching in the seat beside it won't shut up. This is not to say that Sagi isn't put off by the horrible monster sitting next to him, either; oh man, was he ever put off to be dragged out of an icy lake and suddenly see that. But dwelling on why this monster is here would distract him from just going with the flow until he gets to grips with the rules of yet another bizarre earthbound world, so he simply isn't. Not thinking about things is easy for him, thank goodness.
As he prods at one of the standard-issue smartphones, his lack of familiarity is written all over his face. Listening a little closer to his quiet but incessant muttering only makes it more obvious.]
I guess we can go back and change the text... Okay, let's put Day 1 for now.
[The monster seems unmoved by Sagi's inexpert fumbling with the memo app. Instead, it's watching whoever else is in the caravan with two pairs of baleful, glowing little eyes. If anyone gives it so much as a glance, it will start to emit a low, rumbling growl, finally forcing Sagi to look up from the phone.]
Hey, shh. They told us not to bother anyone. [He glances your way as well, an apologetic smile on his face. It's probably an improvement on his familiar's still unflinching, four-eyed glare.] Sorry.
[Doesn't all the mumbling count as bothering people too? Eh, maybe. He hasn't realised he was doing it just yet.]
---
[B: around Camelot]
[The city is huge, the free caravan rides are over, the choices are overwhelming, the demon creature wandered off by itself for the time being, and the clouds are so very far away. At times like this, where do you go but outside? Well, home, ideally. That's the goal. It isn't an option for this first step. So Sagi takes his at random, hands in his pockets, heading out into the streets.
He's quieter on his aimless walk than he was while trying to figure out his phone. The shops, the buildings, the strange plantlife and bizarre animals... while some of the sights remind him vaguely of places he's been, most of them just feel impossible for him to process right now, from the outside looking in. That's okay. Apparently he has time.
Across the way from the colourful window of a potions shop, he comes to a halt as if he heard someone call him. Somewhere in the soundscape of the bustling city, it's even possible that they did - but Sagi himself only picks up on the one inside his head, for now.]
I guess you are the one with experience. Sure, why not. Together this time.
[First, he throws a cursory glance up and down the sidewalk to make sure he doesn't accidentally slap anyone. Then, with little fanfare, he spreads his ghostly wings - teal green and gold on the outside, pure white on the inside, feathered like a bird's.]
Are you with me? Focus...
[He furrows his brow. Nothing happens. He frowns slightly, but continues to stare into empty space for a good few long seconds. Again, nothing happens.
Then the palm of his hand blazes brightly like a silent flashbang. He yelps and reels back, scrunching up his face.]
Ack! Oww, my eyes... Maybe not that focused.
[As suddenly as it manifested, the bright light disappears. The wings take a moment longer to follow suit. A horse whinnies somewhere nearby, its surprised reaction mildly startling its rider in turn. Sagi turns his head to squint in the rough direction of the swearing, but his angle is a little off; the highly localised afterimage is taking its sweet time to dissipate, so he can't quite see where the imminent scolding is about to come from. Whoops. Hopefully next time goes better.]
---
[C: quest - "Save a Beast, Kill a Man 🗡️"]
[The long trail from Camelot to the kraken's beach passes through a few patches of woodland scattered throughout the countryside. In the thorny undergrowth of one such little copse, a boy and his horrible tentacle monster familiar lie in wait. In theory, they've chosen a spot with a decent amount of natural cover. In practice, it's the most obvious one in the vicinity, Sagi sounds like he's arguing with himself at normal conversational volume, and his partner in crime is six foot tall with gigantic curved horns.]
No, I'm sure we can reason with him. Don't forget, we outnumber him. It has to be worth a try.
[Pretty much anyone else would make better use of this hiding place. Maybe it would be worthwhile to just shoo these two away. As is, a certain man further up the trail just stopped his horse in its tracks and dismounted with sword in hand, peering suspiciously toward the voice on the cusp of hearing...]
