[And he only realizes belatedly that this has been posted, completely without his say-so, and what it says.]

What the--?

... I think something's wrong with my skritt.

Daemon.

Whatever.

[novelizes]

Well, as far as I know, there are quite a few free people around here.

[cryfrustration]

Guess I should probably take that as some kinda opportunity. I'm honestly not sure that I do though.


Oh. Unless that's the sorta thing that helps this whole restoration technology gig to run? I gotta admit I'm not real clear on all this stuff yet.

[novelizes]

so you're that kind of person?

I'm taken, for what it's worth.
And yeah, pretty much.
This whole place is run by intimacy.

[cryfrustration]

Oh? What kinda person's that?

And you might be getting a bit ahead of yourself there--it's not like I was offering. But don't worry, I'll make a note of it for future.

[novelizes]

An open minded one.

Not a problem. It's just sometimes things get muddled here.
I like to be frank, especially with new people.

[cryfrustration]

I half expected you to say something a lot worse there.

So are you jaded cause you been here a while, or did you just turn up that way?

[novelizes]

I'm only a dick to people who deserve it.
Far as I know, you don't.

As for the jaded bit, my friends would probably tell you it's practically my middle name.

[cryfrustration]

Fair. I mostly prefer not being a dick, myself.

What's it like where you come from?

[novelizes]

It's nothing like this place.
Small town with quite a few secrets.
It's got a dark underside despite trying to hide it.
Riverdale is an enigma.
But we've got no magic or anything like they have here.
Pretty basic, really.

[cryfrustration]

Hard for me to imagine--a world without magic. I guess that's a lot more common than I'd have guessed. Seems like lots of people come from places where humans rule the roost too.

Can't say I'd be keen to trade, but I guess that's why we're each invested in saving our homes. I mean, I assume you're invested, even dark underside and all?

[novelizes]

You say that like you're not human.

What can I say? Riverdale is my home.
It's where I was born and raised.
All my friends are from there.
One day I might get out, but while I'm still young, it's home.

[cryfrustration]

I'm human. It's just that most of my world isn't. My guild's almost all sylvari, my homeland's all but taken over by charr. Where I come from humanity's in decline, just holding on, fighting for survival. Imagining a world that's just humans? Kinda a mind trip, that.

How young's "still young"?

[novelizes]

Yeah that all sounds like something straight out of Tolkien.

I'm sixteen. Practically a baby compared to some of the people around here.

[cryfrustration]

No surprise I don't know what that is, right?

And man, I remember sixteen. That year sucked.

[novelizes]

Famous author. Wrote about Elves, Humans, Dwarves. All sorts of magical beings.

Tell me about it. There's only so much drama I can take these days.

[cryfrustration]

Wait, did you used to have dwarves too? Your ones didn't turn themselves to stone too, did they?

For me it was all about an elder dragon, but I'd guess that having the apocalypse come and zap you into some alternate world has got to rank pretty high on the dramatic-shit-o-meter.

[novelizes]

uh, no.
That was just a book. A story that isn't real.

I think you trump mine, in that case.
Drunk and annoying teenagers hardly seem to compare to a dragon.

[cryfrustration]

Oh right. Sorry.

Much as I'd like to say it depends on the drunk annoying teenagers, there's not much that compares to Kralkatorrik.

I'd say it might yet destroy the world...but then I guess this D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. thing already did that, so this is all just pretty damn depressing.
