Arrivals

Iroh found his way to the Ermis Suits easily enough. He didn't really have any possessions beyond the clothes on his back and the video phone that he had shoved in his pocket after a cursory examination (He'd look closer at that later.) so moving in wasn't any kind of ordeal. The only thing left to do was meet the neighbors.

So there's a fat, old, balding man wandering about the Ermis Suites with a smile on his face. On running into you, he says "Hello! I'm Iroh...and apparently that's about all I can tell you. I'm still kind of figuring things out here, you see."

Or something to that effect.

He encounters Shen on one of his many walks about the place. He's a restless bird, you see, and has taken to wandering about the place in search of something to do or someone to talk to.

Upon seeing Iroh, Shen looks almost... relieved. Here's someone who isn't a pre- or barely post-pubescent child screeching into a videophone. Well, other then Gordon. Or the intimidating wall of muscle he finds himself calling a roommate. (Honestly? Shen treads as lightly as possible, now, around someone so huge and clearly combat-oriented...) The Peacock might actually smile. Or it might be a trick of the light.

"Hullo," he answers. Well, he also appreciates seeing someone dressed in a similar style to him, as well. "You seem quite cheerful for a man with no memory."

Shen's more well-disposed toward you already, Iroh. You don't question his existence. However, the statement brings him up a bit short and he blinks, thoughts striking at him from the back of his mind. Starting over... letting go of the past.... He shakes his head. What past?

"D'you... feel as though your past might be a burden?"
nomen_est_numen: (wtf)

This just confuses Shen. "You don't want to know who you are? Where you're from?" He shifts his feet painfully and tries to ignore them. Upon looking one would see the badly healed scars of third-degree burns on said feet, now that he isn't wearing the armoured talons he'd come in with. "How can anyone not want to know these things?" He is truly baffled.

Shen realises, perhaps a beat later than anyone else would, that he's already getting impatient and short of breath just listening to the man. And he has no idea why. WHY is he so impatient with content people? Is it because he, himself, is not content? Is it because things need to be done and sitting about being content is nothing more than stagnation? He has no idea and that frustrates him even more.

"NNGH." Then, having sufficiently vented said frustration with that one semiverbal sound, he rubs his brow and sighs. "Forgive me, I.... perhaps I used to be someone who liked everything under control. I find it difficult to see how one can be... content in the face of so many questions. Absolutely everything is a mystery--where am I from? Why did I have sixty-three bladed weapons in my feathers? What happened to my feet?" He lifts one foot in a manner far to effortless for an ordinary being and then drops it again. "Why do I speak the way I do, think the way I do... I question everything and these questions... they drive me mad at times...."

He also has no idea why he's spilling his thoughts like this. Perhaps it's just something about this Iroh fellow that seems so trustworthy.

"You're right, of course, you're right...." He runs a wing over his crest. "I just need to... take a deep breath. Calm myself." He starts walking away. "Yes. That's it. Breathe...." he does so. "...and stay calm. I can do this, I can do anything I put my mind to..." the self-assurances fade into the distance as Shen walks away, a very distracted bird.

[One of the people he'll meet is a tall, lanky young man with glasses and a short-cropped beard. And a man with a purpose, it seems, the way he's hefting that stack of books and papers around to his own suite.]

Hey, great, hi. [He sounds slightly out of breath as he fishes for his keycard distractedly.] New guy? You're not the only one trying to figure things out, trust me.
trustycrowbar: (Looking back)

[The scatterbrained young man fishes through pocket after pocket while hefting his burden from one arm to the other... until he gives up on the whole juggling act and sets the books on the floor, leaning against the door and searching his jeans and coat at a slower, but more annoyed pace.]

Yup. Pretty much everyone who lives here is a recovering amnesiac. Lookit me for instance, can't even remember where I put my damn keys. I just got here a few weeks ago myself.
trustycrowbar: (You're kidding right?)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-02-29 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
...they certainly are.

[He quietly goes to retrieve them.]

I'm Gordon, by the way. I suppose everyone's already given you the rundown on the city, right?
trustycrowbar: (I wonder...)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-02-29 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He eyes the stack of books on the floor.]

I was kinda busy, but... anything you want to know?
trustycrowbar: (Coffee)

That's not hard to find; there are places all over the blocks surrounding the Ermis building. Thanks to the proximity those places pretty much exclusively target Ermis tenants, so there's some, uh... interesting specialty cuisine. [Like that medieval place where they more or less shove anything with a face into a pie. More or less intact, too. He's never eating THERE again...]

I think I remember seeing a tea shop somewhere on the west side. Not my thing, but you may want to give it a look.

Hi! I'm John..... which is actually all I can tell you right now, so I guess we're pretty even
theheirofbreath: (be amused)

[personal profile] theheirofbreath 2012-03-03 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
hehehe...

I guess you could put it that way. I'm guessing you're new around here?
theheirofbreath: (give us a smile)

[personal profile] theheirofbreath 2012-03-03 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, it's cool. Everyone shows up like that. Did anyone explain the anemoi and all that stuff yet?
theheirofbreath: (give advice)

[personal profile] theheirofbreath 2012-03-03 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, people were pretty helpful when I showed up too. You're really lucky you showed up after they took care of the blue monsters that were running around everywhere.

Hello, Iroh~

Mokona's name is Mokona!

[personal profile] mokomanjuu 2012-02-29 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
The plural of Mokona is Mokona, but it doesn't matter most of the time because there's only two~

[Are Moist's pockets bulging? Yes, yes they are. Let's just say he's had a very profitable day.]

So is everyone else on this island.
