It's small enough to not be easily visible from a distance, though its effect on the crowd is like a ship through water, eventually veering off into an alleyway.<br> <br>Selena paces out of her abode at the sound of the disturbance, looking over the crowd with a quiet sigh and muttering something to herself, glancing around the alley for a moment and tapping one of the passers-by. "What did I just miss..?" She asks with a hint of lethargy on her tone.<br> <br>From the direction of the river, there's a badger making his way home down the path when he hears the cry and sees some swift movement in his peripheral vision. Cedric raises an eyebrow as he wanders over towards the source of the commotion, still damp from his swim. He notices Selena wandering over at about the same time, and offers a little wave. "What happened? I thought I heard some kinda noise."<br> <br>Having been on patrol nearby, a certain noble fox blinks at the disturbance in the crowd. Ictus hmms as he follows the trail to the allyway, starting to hide in the evening shadows as he looks around<br> <br>Following the trail to the alley is not too difficult. Some people are pausing, looking in that direction, while others press onwards. No one seems entirely sure what they're reacting to. The alley is dimly lit, with deep shadows hiding what may be hiding within.<br> <br>The rattle of her plate-mail announces Rixo's presence briefly before the panda, herself, makes her way onto the scene. "What's all this about? More of a disturbance than I'm used to over here." Her helmet is tucked under her arm, for the time being, as she glances among the crowd.<br> <br>Selena sighs, shaking her head disappointedly as she moves off immediately down that 'trail' with a quick wave to Ictus, Cedric and Rixo with a brief smile, a flick of her hand bringing a few flickering flames into existance to light up the alley.<br> <br>Cedric nods as the flames lights up the alley, and turns his head to look around for any clues that may have been illuminated by them. "Hmm..."<br> <br>Light spills out into the darkness, banishing the shadows closest to Selena. A small figure shrinks behind a box, a boot or shoe of some sort shrinking out of sight.<br> <br>Ictus nods to Selena as she arrives and chuckles at the balls of flame, "Well, that's one way to flush them out." as he looks towards the box and hmms as hje approaches, "What do we have here?"<br> <br>Rixo leans on the wall of one of the buildings, just behind the others. "I'm kind of curious, myself. Whatever it was, it was moving pretty quickly. A thief, maybe? I didn't hear much of the shouting that usually comes with such a happening."<br> <br>Selena looks back to the fox and then the box. "Yes, what indeed. I can safely say it isn't Arimia." She jokes, looking over to Rixo. "I'd like to hope not." She replies, looking over near the box. "Hey, are you all right back there?" The wolfess queries, moving over to the box cautiously.<br> <br>Wulf is a bit late to the party, but she supposes thats fine. Being in the back meant she could ensure the zippy thing didn't slip by. "Sorry I'm late."<br> <br>A short figure suddenly bursts out from hiding. It's wearing very strange clothing. No cotton of local manufacture, that's for certain, and such bright colors! Its hands are covered in white gloves and a hood flaps about its head, concealing it as it dashes away with a squeak.<br> <br>Cedric stretches his arms out as he glances in the direction of the figure, a little surprised at its sudden departure from hiding. "H-hey, wait!" the badger shouts after the squeaky being before running after it without much hesitation.<br> <br>Rixo rubs her neck and sighs before jogging after Cedric at a more relaxed speed. "We're not going to hurt you or anything!" A moment of pondering and she adds, under her breath, "I think."<br> <br>Ictus looks to Selena and sighs, "Likely the case though..." he then blinks at the being and shakes his head as he chases after with Cedric, "Stop!" as he works to catch the being<br> <br>Selena blinks as the figure takes off, a little dazzled by the bright clothing. "Well. Hey Wulf." She greets the husky as she arrives. She doesn't attempt to run after the small figure as Cedric moves off, but she does follow the pair.<br> <br>Getting a hand on a shoulder, Cedric sends the small figure spinning around. The hood whips free, flopping onto... her... back. A child, bare of flesh, with no snout to speak of. She squeals when held and begins speaking animatedly in a strange tongue, frantic and frightened. It sounds similar to the common tongue, but off.<br> <br>Wulf tips her imaginary hat at Selena and dashes off to help Cedric and Ictus to catch the speedster. "Wait up there you!" as she catches up she slows to a halt, staring at the child with interest. "That in the creators name..."<br> <br>Cedric blinks a few times after the hood falls, unable to understand any of the being's odd rambling. "Er... hi? Can you understand what I'm saying?" the badger asks, quickly adding, "Cause I don't understand a word you're saying." he then notices the bare flesh and the lack of a snout, and releases the female being's shoulder, to try and show her he doesn't intend to hurt her.<br> <br>If she was curious before, she's fascinated, now. Rixo rubs her eyes with the hem of her cloak just to make sure it's not some kind of trick of the eye. "You're... Well. This was unexpected. Can't say I've ever seen anything quite like you. Interesting!"<br> <br>Ictus sighs as Cedric catches the being first and shrugs, then he blinks at the child with a shake of his head, "What...?" his eyes go wide then, "A... A creator? Here? Why? What is she doing this far from the camp?"<br> <br>Selena blinks as the being begins to talk, shaking her head. "First tongue, I'll bet." She comments simply as she comes up to the others, looking back to the child with a quiet sigh. "Could you speak slowly?" The wolfess asks the child, tilting her head slightly - though not asking the same questions as the others to be sure. Ictus and Rixo's comments are met with a shrug. "Let's not crowd her. Children are curious; that's all the reason they need to wander about."<br> <br>The child bounces back a step or two, looking between all those present. When not being held, she seems to calm, taking a few breaths, then trying again, slower. Most of the words are either archaic, or just... wrong... As if she were simply taught badly, or were from a land so distant, the accent rendered it night intelligible. 'Hello' comes through at least. She puts a hand on her chest, 'Juliana', then repeats the gesture and word again.<br> <br>Wulf backs up a bit and twitches her nose curiously. "Your name is Juliana? Can you understand us little girl?" The Husky crouches to the ground to get more to eye level with her. "Your awfully fast."<br> <br>Ictus nods to Selena in agreement as he takes a step back, "Err... Hello." as she introduces herself, or at least that's what he assumes, "Ictus." as he repeats the gesture<br> <br>Cedric nods to the little creator girl. "Well, hello Juliana. Um... sorry about chasing you, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Are you lost?" he asks, crouching down slightly so that he's speaking to the girl at her own height.<br> <br>Rixo just offers a shrug. She's not so good with children, but she places a gauntleted hand on her chest. "Rixo. Nice to... Meet you?" She shrugs again and gives a polite bow, completing her greeting, before she takes a step back to give the child space.<br> <br>Mirroring the gestures, Selena introduces herself. "Hello, Juliana. I'm Selena." The wolfess does give the child a few moments more of an appraising look before she turns to Wulf. "Well, we'll see. I have the feeling she's not fluent in our language." She replies, tilting her head to the side and listening in on the others from a polite distance.<br> <br>She points at Ictus, "Ictus." Then she repeats the gesture to herself, "Juliana." A few more words come out, sounding like "Ecstatic joining of the firsting degree todays!" She bobs her head at Rixo, "Rixo." With introductions being exchanged, she looks far less spooked. "Selena... Being of the greatest prettiness pets make in standing me!" she says with a big smile, sounding excited, and imcomprehensible.<br> <br>Wulf shakes her head a second, trying to jumble the words. "I'm Wulf Tiernan, sorry, should have started with that." The Husky places her hands on her thighs to lean foreward a bit. "Did you just say that your happy to meet us?" She looks over at Selena and lifts an eyebrow.<br> <br>Ictus ponders Juliana's words and shakes his head with a slight frown, "I don't think I understood that..." he then looks at Selena and chuckles, "Though it seems she likes you." he hmms and nods to Wulf, "I'm guessing that's what she meant..."<br> <br>"Oh... uh. I'm Cedric." the badger says to the girl, upon realizing he neglected to mention his name or anything. He nods his head. "I'm not sure, I don't understand much of it." he admits, before looking to Selena. "I think she wants to pet you or something, maybe? I dunno..."<br> <br>Selena coughs quietly and looks back to the husky confusedly. "I don't know either." she replies, looking back to the child. "Thank you, Juliana? Firsting degree?" She asks curiously and seats herself on the ground, chuckling quietly at Ictus's comment. "I... DOn't know what she meant." She comments to Cedric and Ictus.<br> <br>"Talking of strangeness great," says the girl with a soft tilt of her head to the side, "???? talking formal ?????..." she trails off, glancing around a moment, "Wulf... Woof!" she suddenly says, grinning at Wulf, "Woof woof." Easily amused. She starts to approach on cautious feet, moving to circle around and examine her interrogators. "Firsting degree," she echoes Selena's words with a bit of a laugh, as if amused at Selena's attempt to copy her words. "Out of place unfamiliarity pets ???? speech ????? good."<br> <br>Rixo rubs her chin, eyes set on Juliana. "Firsting degree... Some kind of... Test, perhaps? That'd be my guess. A test, or challenge. But I have no clue what that would be, exactly."<br> <br>Ictus hmms? at that and chuckles, "Talking of strangeness great indeed..." he ponders that next and shakes his head in confusion, then blinks at Wulf with a laugh, "Well, that's cute." he shrugs and then blinks a bit, "Pets?" he questions, "I don't get it... Does she think we're pets?" he looks at the others in confusion<br> <br>Wulf chuckles to herself and nods. "Yeah I'm Wulf." She gives the girl and actual woof with a laugh and continues speaking. "If I understood that right yeah, your speech is unfamiliar to us." She looks at the others. "I wonder if that is what she thinks, also, maybe we can go visit a priest to figure out what she is speaking of."<br> <br>Selena looks back to the child as she's circled, gesturing to her lap if the child would wish. "Again, I'm going to go there - I wish the church didn't keep the first tongue to itself." The wolfess gripes, then shrugs. "It'd be naive to assume that, but she is a child, Ictus. I think we should move over to Saint's Square; the priests there could probably translate, as much as I'd rather not have to ask..." She replies, nodding to Wulf.<br> <br>Cedric chuckles a little, looking at the girl and wondering. "Not really sure... maybe she does." he says. "I'm sort of curious about why they brought their cubs with them." he says, tilting his head to the side a little as he regards the creator curiously.<br> <br>Snatch. As Wulf looks towards the other, her tail is sized in gloved hands. The girl pets the fluffy limb a few times, seemingly pleased with it. "Greatness ??? ????" she says in a complimenting tone, smiling up at her.<br> <br>* seized.<br> <br>Wulf stiffens up a bit and turns back to the girl. "I suppose it is great, but then, I have it all the time so it's not too interesting to me." The Husky whips her tail right out of the girls grip only to makeit come back and bat at her hand. "It's part of me so NO pulling."<br> <br>Ictus nods to Selena in agreement and then blinks as Wulf's tail is snatched with a snicker, "Well, lets get to the church then?" as he looks around, "It's likely be safer for her too."<br> <br>Rixo folds her arms and nods in agreement. "Yeah, I don't think anyone would harm her, but it's best not to take chances, yeah? I don't know about you, but I don't exactly want to go an anger any creators." She rolls her neck and glances back down the alley. "Getting someone to translate would definitely be a plus, too."<br> <br>Juliana squeaks when the tail breaks free of her grip, only to grow delighted when it returns. She bats it lightly, then returns her attention to the other side of Wulf, looking from her to the others. "Translate." she echoes, then frowns. She digs into a pocket and pulls out a card sized wager of Creator Steel. She rubs two fingers over it before it begins to glow. A figure appears over it, a Creator. The illusory looking creator has some resemblance to Juliana, but larger, adult. It speaks a word of greeting, which Juliana echoes back at it.<br> <br>* wafer<br> <br>Selena shakes her head and chuckles as the little creator's antics, again looking back to the others. "Do you think she'd mind being carried over to Saint's square?" She asks the others a little bluntly, glancing back to the child. "That's the best chance we have of having her comments understood, and for getting her back to her parents as far as I'm concerned." The illusion brings her attention immediately back to the child, and she gestures to the apparition with a degree of surprise<br> <br>Selena says, "What on promise is that!?""<br> <br>Ictus hmms? at Rixo and nods in agreement, "Indeed." he watches the creator a bit and sighs, "Well, I think she would... I mean, wouldn't you?" then the hologram appears and he eeps a bit, "The heck..." he shakes his head and ponders<br> <br>Wulf blinks as there is a shiny wafer brought out. "Oh... now whats this?" The Husky reaches out to poke the illusionary creator with curiousity. "Can that thing understand us? that what you mean by translate?"<br> <br>Cedric shakes his head in response to Selena, standing up straight again and placing both hands into his pockets. "I dunno if that'd be a great idea. I think it'd upset the others if we seemed to be carrying off one of their young by force." he says with a small chuckle. The little girl takes out the thin wafer of creator steel, and the badger looks at the thing curiously. He notices the figure appear after the girl rubs the steel, and parrots her statement. "Translate?"<br> <br>Juliana points the ghostly figure of the female creator at the group, speaking a strange word. "Yes." speaks the tiny figure. Then they are both quiet, as if waiting for something. She looks suddenly impatient, "Talking..." she searches for the right word, "Largely, great, increasing!" She pantomimes with one hand a mouth going open close, open close, then points at those gathered. | + | <div></div><br> <br>A startled cry, and a darting shape.

"Help me understand what's going on. We practically have a miracle walking the streets of Firmament, and everyone's all so calm about it?

"Ah, well, I understand you much better, now. That is a good thing." Such a drastic change.

Log
A startled cry, and a darting shape. The crowd parts as something moves through it at a rapid pace. It's small enough to not be easily visible from a distance, though its effect on the crowd is like a ship through water, eventually veering off into an alleyway.
Selena paces out of her abode at the sound of the disturbance, looking over the crowd with a quiet sigh and muttering something to herself, glancing around the alley for a moment and tapping one of the passers-by. "What did I just miss..?" She asks with a hint of lethargy on her tone.
From the direction of the river, there's a badger making his way home down the path when he hears the cry and sees some swift movement in his peripheral vision. Cedric raises an eyebrow as he wanders over towards the source of the commotion, still damp from his swim. He notices Selena wandering over at about the same time, and offers a little wave. "What happened? I thought I heard some kinda noise."
Having been on patrol nearby, a certain noble fox blinks at the disturbance in the crowd. Ictus hmms as he follows the trail to the allyway, starting to hide in the evening shadows as he looks around
Following the trail to the alley is not too difficult. Some people are pausing, looking in that direction, while others press onwards. No one seems entirely sure what they're reacting to. The alley is dimly lit, with deep shadows hiding what may be hiding within.
The rattle of her plate-mail announces Rixo's presence briefly before the panda, herself, makes her way onto the scene. "What's all this about? More of a disturbance than I'm used to over here." Her helmet is tucked under her arm, for the time being, as she glances among the crowd.
Selena sighs, shaking her head disappointedly as she moves off immediately down that 'trail' with a quick wave to Ictus, Cedric and Rixo with a brief smile, a flick of her hand bringing a few flickering flames into existance to light up the alley.
Cedric nods as the flames lights up the alley, and turns his head to look around for any clues that may have been illuminated by them. "Hmm..."
Light spills out into the darkness, banishing the shadows closest to Selena. A small figure shrinks behind a box, a boot or shoe of some sort shrinking out of sight.
Ictus nods to Selena as she arrives and chuckles at the balls of flame, "Well, that's one way to flush them out." as he looks towards the box and hmms as hje approaches, "What do we have here?"
Rixo leans on the wall of one of the buildings, just behind the others. "I'm kind of curious, myself. Whatever it was, it was moving pretty quickly. A thief, maybe? I didn't hear much of the shouting that usually comes with such a happening."
Selena looks back to the fox and then the box. "Yes, what indeed. I can safely say it isn't Arimia." She jokes, looking over to Rixo. "I'd like to hope not." She replies, looking over near the box. "Hey, are you all right back there?" The wolfess queries, moving over to the box cautiously.
Wulf is a bit late to the party, but she supposes thats fine. Being in the back meant she could ensure the zippy thing didn't slip by. "Sorry I'm late."
A short figure suddenly bursts out from hiding. It's wearing very strange clothing. No cotton of local manufacture, that's for certain, and such bright colors! Its hands are covered in white gloves and a hood flaps about its head, concealing it as it dashes away with a squeak.
Cedric stretches his arms out as he glances in the direction of the figure, a little surprised at its sudden departure from hiding. "H-hey, wait!" the badger shouts after the squeaky being before running after it without much hesitation.
Rixo rubs her neck and sighs before jogging after Cedric at a more relaxed speed. "We're not going to hurt you or anything!" A moment of pondering and she adds, under her breath, "I think."
Ictus looks to Selena and sighs, "Likely the case though..." he then blinks at the being and shakes his head as he chases after with Cedric, "Stop!" as he works to catch the being
Selena blinks as the figure takes off, a little dazzled by the bright clothing. "Well. Hey Wulf." She greets the husky as she arrives. She doesn't attempt to run after the small figure as Cedric moves off, but she does follow the pair.
Getting a hand on a shoulder, Cedric sends the small figure spinning around. The hood whips free, flopping onto... her... back. A child, bare of flesh, with no snout to speak of. She squeals when held and begins speaking animatedly in a strange tongue, frantic and frightened. It sounds similar to the common tongue, but off.
Wulf tips her imaginary hat at Selena and dashes off to help Cedric and Ictus to catch the speedster. "Wait up there you!" as she catches up she slows to a halt, staring at the child with interest. "That in the creators name..."
Cedric blinks a few times after the hood falls, unable to understand any of the being's odd rambling. "Er... hi? Can you understand what I'm saying?" the badger asks, quickly adding, "Cause I don't understand a word you're saying." he then notices the bare flesh and the lack of a snout, and releases the female being's shoulder, to try and show her he doesn't intend to hurt her.
If she was curious before, she's fascinated, now. Rixo rubs her eyes with the hem of her cloak just to make sure it's not some kind of trick of the eye. "You're... Well. This was unexpected. Can't say I've ever seen anything quite like you. Interesting!"
Ictus sighs as Cedric catches the being first and shrugs, then he blinks at the child with a shake of his head, "What...?" his eyes go wide then, "A... A creator? Here? Why? What is she doing this far from the camp?"
Selena blinks as the being begins to talk, shaking her head. "First tongue, I'll bet." She comments simply as she comes up to the others, looking back to the child with a quiet sigh. "Could you speak slowly?" The wolfess asks the child, tilting her head slightly - though not asking the same questions as the others to be sure. Ictus and Rixo's comments are met with a shrug. "Let's not crowd her. Children are curious; that's all the reason they need to wander about."
The child bounces back a step or two, looking between all those present. When not being held, she seems to calm, taking a few breaths, then trying again, slower. Most of the words are either archaic, or just... wrong... As if she were simply taught badly, or were from a land so distant, the accent rendered it night intelligible. 'Hello' comes through at least. She puts a hand on her chest, 'Juliana', then repeats the gesture and word again.
Wulf backs up a bit and twitches her nose curiously. "Your name is Juliana? Can you understand us little girl?" The Husky crouches to the ground to get more to eye level with her. "Your awfully fast."
Ictus nods to Selena in agreement as he takes a step back, "Err... Hello." as she introduces herself, or at least that's what he assumes, "Ictus." as he repeats the gesture
Cedric nods to the little creator girl. "Well, hello Juliana. Um... sorry about chasing you, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Are you lost?" he asks, crouching down slightly so that he's speaking to the girl at her own height.
Rixo just offers a shrug. She's not so good with children, but she places a gauntleted hand on her chest. "Rixo. Nice to... Meet you?" She shrugs again and gives a polite bow, completing her greeting, before she takes a step back to give the child space.
Mirroring the gestures, Selena introduces herself. "Hello, Juliana. I'm Selena." The wolfess does give the child a few moments more of an appraising look before she turns to Wulf. "Well, we'll see. I have the feeling she's not fluent in our language." She replies, tilting her head to the side and listening in on the others from a polite distance.
She points at Ictus, "Ictus." Then she repeats the gesture to herself, "Juliana." A few more words come out, sounding like "Ecstatic joining of the firsting degree todays!" She bobs her head at Rixo, "Rixo." With introductions being exchanged, she looks far less spooked. "Selena... Being of the greatest prettiness pets make in standing me!" she says with a big smile, sounding excited, and imcomprehensible.
Wulf shakes her head a second, trying to jumble the words. "I'm Wulf Tiernan, sorry, should have started with that." The Husky places her hands on her thighs to lean foreward a bit. "Did you just say that your happy to meet us?" She looks over at Selena and lifts an eyebrow.
Ictus ponders Juliana's words and shakes his head with a slight frown, "I don't think I understood that..." he then looks at Selena and chuckles, "Though it seems she likes you." he hmms and nods to Wulf, "I'm guessing that's what she meant..."
"Oh... uh. I'm Cedric." the badger says to the girl, upon realizing he neglected to mention his name or anything. He nods his head. "I'm not sure, I don't understand much of it." he admits, before looking to Selena. "I think she wants to pet you or something, maybe? I dunno..."
Selena coughs quietly and looks back to the husky confusedly. "I don't know either." she replies, looking back to the child. "Thank you, Juliana? Firsting degree?" She asks curiously and seats herself on the ground, chuckling quietly at Ictus's comment. "I... DOn't know what she meant." She comments to Cedric and Ictus.
"Talking of strangeness great," says the girl with a soft tilt of her head to the side, "???? talking formal ?????..." she trails off, glancing around a moment, "Wulf... Woof!" she suddenly says, grinning at Wulf, "Woof woof." Easily amused. She starts to approach on cautious feet, moving to circle around and examine her interrogators. "Firsting degree," she echoes Selena's words with a bit of a laugh, as if amused at Selena's attempt to copy her words. "Out of place unfamiliarity pets ???? speech ????? good."
Rixo rubs her chin, eyes set on Juliana. "Firsting degree... Some kind of... Test, perhaps? That'd be my guess. A test, or challenge. But I have no clue what that would be, exactly."
Ictus hmms? at that and chuckles, "Talking of strangeness great indeed..." he ponders that next and shakes his head in confusion, then blinks at Wulf with a laugh, "Well, that's cute." he shrugs and then blinks a bit, "Pets?" he questions, "I don't get it... Does she think we're pets?" he looks at the others in confusion
Wulf chuckles to herself and nods. "Yeah I'm Wulf." She gives the girl and actual woof with a laugh and continues speaking. "If I understood that right yeah, your speech is unfamiliar to us." She looks at the others. "I wonder if that is what she thinks, also, maybe we can go visit a priest to figure out what she is speaking of."
Selena looks back to the child as she's circled, gesturing to her lap if the child would wish. "Again, I'm going to go there - I wish the church didn't keep the first tongue to itself." The wolfess gripes, then shrugs. "It'd be naive to assume that, but she is a child, Ictus. I think we should move over to Saint's Square; the priests there could probably translate, as much as I'd rather not have to ask..." She replies, nodding to Wulf.
Cedric chuckles a little, looking at the girl and wondering. "Not really sure... maybe she does." he says. "I'm sort of curious about why they brought their cubs with them." he says, tilting his head to the side a little as he regards the creator curiously.
Snatch. As Wulf looks towards the other, her tail is sized in gloved hands. The girl pets the fluffy limb a few times, seemingly pleased with it. "Greatness ??? ????" she says in a complimenting tone, smiling up at her.
* seized.
Wulf stiffens up a bit and turns back to the girl. "I suppose it is great, but then, I have it all the time so it's not too interesting to me." The Husky whips her tail right out of the girls grip only to makeit come back and bat at her hand. "It's part of me so NO pulling."
Ictus nods to Selena in agreement and then blinks as Wulf's tail is snatched with a snicker, "Well, lets get to the church then?" as he looks around, "It's likely be safer for her too."
Rixo folds her arms and nods in agreement. "Yeah, I don't think anyone would harm her, but it's best not to take chances, yeah? I don't know about you, but I don't exactly want to go an anger any creators." She rolls her neck and glances back down the alley. "Getting someone to translate would definitely be a plus, too."
Juliana squeaks when the tail breaks free of her grip, only to grow delighted when it returns. She bats it lightly, then returns her attention to the other side of Wulf, looking from her to the others. "Translate." she echoes, then frowns. She digs into a pocket and pulls out a card sized wager of Creator Steel. She rubs two fingers over it before it begins to glow. A figure appears over it, a Creator. The illusory looking creator has some resemblance to Juliana, but larger, adult. It speaks a word of greeting, which Juliana echoes back at it.
* wafer
Selena shakes her head and chuckles as the little creator's antics, again looking back to the others. "Do you think she'd mind being carried over to Saint's square?" She asks the others a little bluntly, glancing back to the child. "That's the best chance we have of having her comments understood, and for getting her back to her parents as far as I'm concerned." The illusion brings her attention immediately back to the child, and she gestures to the apparition with a degree of surprise
Selena says, "What on promise is that!?""
Ictus hmms? at Rixo and nods in agreement, "Indeed." he watches the creator a bit and sighs, "Well, I think she would... I mean, wouldn't you?" then the hologram appears and he eeps a bit, "The heck..." he shakes his head and ponders
Wulf blinks as there is a shiny wafer brought out. "Oh... now whats this?" The Husky reaches out to poke the illusionary creator with curiousity. "Can that thing understand us? that what you mean by translate?"
Cedric shakes his head in response to Selena, standing up straight again and placing both hands into his pockets. "I dunno if that'd be a great idea. I think it'd upset the others if we seemed to be carrying off one of their young by force." he says with a small chuckle. The little girl takes out the thin wafer of creator steel, and the badger looks at the thing curiously. He notices the figure appear after the girl rubs the steel, and parrots her statement. "Translate?"
Juliana points the ghostly figure of the female creator at the group, speaking a strange word. "Yes." speaks the tiny figure. Then they are both quiet, as if waiting for something. She looks suddenly impatient, "Talking..." she searches for the right word, "Largely, great, increasing!" She pantomimes with one hand a mouth going open close, open close, then points at those gathered.
Selena shakes her head. "I thought that part was at least obvious." She comments to the others as they begin to ask about translation with a grin, sighing quietly after before she murmurs something to the husky, an ear flicking back momentarily. "As for carrying her off... It's a problem with the language barrier, frankly. If someone's willing to teach, I'm willing to learn. I'm assuming you want us to speak more?" She asks the child and gestures to the machine-bourne apparition.
Ictus nods to Wulf and Cedric with a chuckles, "I'm guessing that's what it does..." he shrugs and then shakes his head at Selena, "If that can translate, it would be unnesscary, would it not?"
Drawn by the small crowd that's gathered, Sveta wanders over to the group. Normally she wouldn't be drawn away from her chores - small crowds in alleys are a crown a dozen in Firmament - but the sight of a familiar face in the mess piques her attention. "Good day, Selena," she says, elbowing her way across. "Hope you don't mind me asking what's -" she catches sight of the Creator youngling. "No, no. I think I'll ask anyway, even if you mind."
Wulf listens quietly to the girl as she starts listing things. "Learning perhaps?" The Huskys ear twitches and she looks at Selena and nods at her. "Yup."
Rixo eyes the device, slowly bobbing her head. "I'm not surprised that creator offspring would have neat little gizmos like that." She gives a waves to Sveta. "I'm not sure, really. The youngling ran back here and we followed. It is very... Well, today has been far more enlightening, already, than I imagined it would be when I woke up."
"Talking," says Juliana, pointing at the figure, "Naming." The figure changes, becoming a bright red apple. She tilts her head at the newcomer, looking at them curiously a moment before she looks at the others, then points at the apple again.
Wulf immediately answers the girl. "That dear girl is an apple, not one of my favorite fruits but it does satisfy depending on the kind you get."
Selena quirks a brow and smirks. "Okay, I see what she's doing." She comments, then gestures to the false fruit. "Apple." She states plainly, then looks over to the child with a smile. "You call it a..?" She asks, mimicking the gestures before looking back to Rixo. "I wasn't expecting this kind of entertainment this evening." She corroborates.
Ictus blinks at Sveta and waves at the hawk, before he blinks at the image of an apple, "Yes, an apple..." he chuckles at that then nods to Rixo and Selena, "Indeed, not what I was expecting at all."
Immediately, the spectral image becomes a banana. Each time it's identified, it changes to some new object. Chairs, boats(though fantastically designed!), buildings, increasing in complexity as more and more things are identified. Then comes links. A person eating that apple, a woman holding her baby, and a sick person in bed. The little wafer quizzes on and on tirelessly, continuing with a subtle press of Juliana's finger.
Wulf for her part has been naming things as they come up along with Selena, eventualy she starts getting fed up. "ughhhh.... this is getting tiresome, are we nearly done missy/"
Sveta blinks as she looks back and forth amongst everyone in the group. They all seem so blase about what's practically a miracle in the street and her amazing gadget. It's all a bit too much for the poor goshawk as the naming continues. "Help me understand what's going on. We practically have a miracle walking the streets of Firmament, and everyone's all so calm about it? I can see how one mightn't want to kick up a fuss on the streets, but has someone at least tried to contact the Church?"
Rixo frowns at Sveta. "We considered it. We're just trying to make sense of what we can, right now. Communications are... Difficult, and quite frankly, I have no clue how to deal with creator offspring." She places her hands on her hips and shakes her head. "Or creators in general, for that matter."
Selena indulges the odd machine as it goes on, though it is interspaced with a quiet yawn from time to time as it gets later. If she's tired, she's not making it obvious in the slightest, though she does murmur back to Wulf again. Sveta's comment it met with a nod. "I know! We did think to contact the church, but then she started with this... Thing. It's better to be calm than overreact and scare her." She replies evenly.
Ictus hmms as he lists off a few of the things that the image becomes and shrugs, "As interesting as this is, I hope we won't be doing it all day." he chuckles and shrugs a bit more before looking to Sveta, then nods in agreement with Rixo, "Yep."
Juliana presses a different portion of the wafer, and trails a silvery line of flowing metal up to her ear, then hangs the wafer from a chain around her neck. The image vanishes. She speaks her strange words, and moments later, they're echoed from the wafer. It's still her voice, but easier to grasp, "Hello. I hope this worked. We only finished a little bit of it."
Wulf twitches her nose as she starts to speak through the device. "Well how do you like that, yes I can understand you lil' miss. Noooow, what were you talking earlier, about pets and greatness and such... and that woof." The Husky turns to Sveta a moment. "Yeah... well it wouldn't be good if we had people crowding all over us."
Rixo looks a little startled before taking a breath and regaining her composure. "Ah, well, I understand you much better, now. That is a good thing." Such a drastic change. "That is a nice little device you have there."
Selena looks back at the odd device with that same look of surprise and wonder, evidently restraining herself in some degree from taking a closer look. "It did - and well." She affirms, craning her neck a little as she looks over the wires. "It's good you can understand us now, but I'd be more comfortable if the reverse was true as well. You're speaking our language because of that... thing you've been fiddling with, right? Could you then teach us your language so the device isn't necessary?" Blunt, unsurprisingly. But Selena keeps a polite tone at least.
Sveta elects to remain silent, instead stepping back to study the situation with a hawkish glare. Let the others do the introductions and pleasantries...she'll say something when she's got something that needs saying.
Ictus blinks at the device and nods a bit, "Err, yes... I can uderstand you just fine now." he looks to Wulf and nods at that, "Yeah, that's true." he looks at Selena and nods in agreement, "It'd be nice but I suspect it's take longer."
Juliana holds up the wafer, featureless as it seems now that she isn't fiddling with it, "Yes. This is my personal UNKNOWN(spoken in a loud monotone) assistant. My mother got it for me. You saw her when I activated/awoke it. I am Juliana. Sorry for running. I'm not meant/allowed/permitted/destined to be here." The translation seems to skip in places, offering multiple words, or even outright giving up. "You're a dog," she says, looking at Wulf, "Dogs go 'Woof'. You have a funny name."
Wulf lifts her eyebrow with a chuckle. "Well... yeah, thats true. Though I don
Wulf lifts her eyebrow with a chuckle. "Well... yeah, thats true. Though I don't know about having a funny name... tell me, what makes my name funny little gal. Oh, and etween me an you I won't tell a soul you were out here."
