Fancy that. We were having a similar idea... though not so much asking the horsemen for it. We were thinking of seeing if the barn-stayers would be willing to part with a little bit of their hay.
Stick... hay... a string to tie that together... I could sacrifice my tie. [ He has a little ribbon tie, a bit loose around his neck. Little black words etch around the skin there too. ] That'd make a half-decent broom.
Let's see.. lots of different kinds? [sometimes you are an rpg] Whatever happens to come my way, really. Ogres, beast-like monsters, machines, stuff I can't really describe easily, etc.
Sort of? Some of them, like the ogres, are just because I went to a warzone. Then, some places are pretty safe but are surrounded by the wilderness with monsters, and then the village I was staying at pretty recently for a long time would get attacked once in a while...
Um, well. My friend Also and I would jump through these wormholes and end up in different points in time, and one time, we arrived at a fortress that was the site of a major battle between humanity and ogres.
He's silent for a moment, and there's a near-palpable aura of something like doubt hanging in the air. To which part is as good as your guess as anyone else's. ]

Famine said they might be able to procure a broom for me, so hopefully we can use that to clean the place up too.

I was going to try making some more arrows for my bow.

...Time travel.
[ He slowly shakes his head. ]
What counts as normal for people really... is different, is what I'm learning.
[ Also if I had a nickel for every single JRPG game that SPECIFICALLY was about humans vs ogres. What is it with ogres. ]
no subject
Hehe... well, time travel wasn't always normal for me! My life just got weird at one point.
no subject
"At one point".
[ He deigns to sound vaguely, faintly amused. ]
Don't we all experience weirdness suddenly "at one point".

[a curious look]
Sounds like your own life is pretty interesting if you're saying that, Daan.
no subject
As for me...
Not really. Not in the fun type, so don't expect anything.

Before here, I was passing through a town...
It wasn't what I was expecting. It was pretty bad. A lot of... monsters, let's say.
[ Just to kind of parrot a bit of Nona's experiences back at her. ]
But I'm here instead, and hopefully I'll be out of both by the end of this all.
no subject
I'm sorry, Daan. [that things are bad.] But I believe in you—and that you'll make it through. Both this and back home.

Guess we have to.

One step at a time.

He nods though. ]
