Tis a fine evening, still warm in the tropical city of Firmament. The Creator ship only touched down minutes ago before they approached the city. The guards offered no resistance to their entry as one walks out ahead of the others, seemingly in charge.
"And here we have one of their quaint settlements. We're informed that this is one of their larger, not even one twentieth the size of New York Beta Prime. The architecture is like none we've ever seen." He speaks animatedly, with his translator struggling to keep up, echoing out in the local dialect. Who is he speaking to is not clear, as the others present watch him, but do not attempt to join his monologue.
Bite approaches the creators who have rapidly landed and entered the city with haste, having not seen one herself if she recalls. Or had she? She takes no time to waste, she could talk to them right? Just like the shadow! This was exciting, they must have news and a very important mission. "Excuse me?" she says as she approaches, tilting her head. "Who are you talking to? And what news do you have! You came so quickly!"
Selena looks back over her shoulder, aparrently caught a little off guard by the sudden jabbering of the creators at the gates of the city - Bite's presence only serving to pull her over as well. "That makes two of us that're curious." She comments back to the snake, giving the being a hug in greeting. "What exactly are you doing? I'm curious myself."
Cedric follows after the other two, unarmed as he approaches the strange creators, the tall badger sizing them up with interest as he glances between Selena and Bite. "What are they doing?" he asks them, not directly addressing the creators just yet.
Kalt blinks as she makes her way back from the Longtail manor and her meeting with Flora, the Vixen tilting her head and adjusting her thick poncho as she looks over the strange hairless apes for a moment before it clicks what exactly they -were-. "... You gotta be shittin' me... Creators?" The Vixen falling in line behind Selena and Bite, peering around them at the strange beings. "Uhm... Hello an' such! Welcome to the city an' all!"
Siyu quickly manages to find himself back to the city, smoothing over the silks, making sure that everything is prim and proper and that he is most certinally presentable. He really wants to make a good impression. Wonder how long it will be before one of the kings representatigves comes on by. Until then eh'll walk up with the other freeswords. Pushing his mass of hair behind him he sets his hands in front of him,. "Exciting isn't it?" he asks his fellows.
Kaelli had never seen one of the Creators - unless on counted images in books or various screens in ruins and the like, of course. As such, the tigress was every bit as eager as the others to see what was going on! Grabbing her kit, the feline dashed towards the gates as the ships descended and made it just in time to catch sight of the odd dictation. Canting her head slightly, she joined the group that was approaching but kept quiet for the moment to simply observe.
Cassidy wasn't originally aware of the creators arriving, having been out shopping, as evident with the basket hanging from her long-gloved arm. When she sees the Creators and the growing crowd of beings around them, though, she comes to a stop and smoothes out her light blue gown, tilting her head. "What's all this? Oh! Hello Kalt!"
Not wanting to miss another Creator encounter, Dio makes his way towards the main concourse in all due haste! Perhaps if he let that darn tower shield off his back he'd get places quicker. "Good evenin' to ya lads an' lasses," the panting lion waves towards the the various people he recognizes. "AN' YA OVER THERE! CREATORS! 'EEY!" He bellows with loud excitement, rapidly waving his arms about in the crowd.
"Oh well look at this!" exclaims the creator, eyes going wide as he leans towards Bite, "She seems friendly, but make no mistake! I bet she has teeth that could put me down in no time at all," he says quite dramatically, to the nodding of his fellows. "We'll have to be careful not to offend the natives. Greetings! I'm Jetstream Flash," the first part of the name translating ambivalently to 'strong wind'. Oh sometimes translators can be so right while being so wrong. "And I'm sharing our visit with CREATORS all across the stars! Oh, be sure you get this," Who is he talking to? The other creators are just looking around. "It seems we have a welcoming committee forming up. No sudden moves, we don't want to startle them."
Issi once again finds herself in the middle of quite a bit of interest. She ducks out of sight as the rest of them approach the creators. Oh, this is quite the day indeed. She keeps herself pressed behind a few boxes by the gate, but she keeps peering at whatever the Creators were doing. She was interested, but she wasn't about to fall prey to whatever they were planning.
Siyu blinks a little bit as he looks at Bite, "Teeth?" he asks, "We all have teeth why would her's be different...oh ahem, excuse me. Pleasent to meet you, greetings and salutations." the silk clad merchant will bow politely, "I am Gang Xi Siyu, a merchant here in Sweetwater." he looks to the others as everyone makes an introduction in their own way. THough he winces at Dio's.
Selena rubs her forehead a little as thing start to get crowded, looking back over the impromptu gathering. "And all of you as well?" She comments to herself, laughing quietly at the comments of the eccentric group. "I hope you're joking there. Unless you try something stupid a few fast moves aren't going to scare anyone." She notes, Dio's shouting not really helping too much. "This might be out of place, but you don't happen to know anything about Dr. Sinclair's recent deportation, do you?
Kalt blinks slightly at the creators and tilts her head, looking to Selena before looking back to the head hancho strong wind something. "Uhm... We ain't gonna go hurtin' you, we ain't that violent an' all... We're rather friendly! M'names Kalt Tiefkuhl!" She nods to herself, extending her right hand out to him out of habit.
Bite smiles and hugs Selena back, a welcome greeting, if surprising. There were a lot of folks gathered! She tilts her head. "That's a lovely name but... get what? Are you collecting something?" she asks with a curious tone, the man not REALLY answering her question. "I don't think I'd bite you if I wanted to hurt you, you can be sure I'd be civil sssweetheart."
Noosha, the half-pint Hyena, arrives to investigate the ongoing commotion. Checking her corset to make sure those blades that adorable little tailor had provided were still with her. They were, and with that in place, she squeezed through the sea of legs, looking for a familiar face...or, well, tail, at this height.
"S-strong windflash..?" the curious badger repeats, wondering if he got that right. "That's a weird name..." he says, wandering up to the visitor and eyeballing him. "Um. I'm Cedric. Nice to meet you?" he greets the filmmaker, nearly a question.
Cassidy rubs at one of her ears, frowning as she shuffles a little closer, falling silent as it seems things were getting hectic and busy enough as it was! "Ah... Names? Are we exchanging names now? I am Cassidy Solacious," she offers, still a little confused as she gives a polite curtsy.
"Lass!" Dio exclaims after noticing Kaelli's arrival. "Good to see ya!" Tossing an arm around the tigress' shoulder, he smiles and lets out a large, bellowing laugh. "Can ya believe it? Creator's comin' down 'ere to.. to..." Thinking for a moment, he looks towards the group of Creators and watches their actions closely, certainly not understanding exactly what's going on. "Uhh... Talkin' to... Someone! It must be a Creator thing I guess. Can 'ardly understand their machines in the first place." Waving his hands at the Creators again, he tries to get their attention! "An' I'm DIO the TRAVELER!"
Ears flicking idly, the pale tigress glanced over the gathering of beings and Creators, lips pursing faintly in silent contemplation. They way that one was talking made it seem as though they were being..studied? Tail twitching, the feline eventually shook her head as the leonine arm descended about her shoulders. Smiling up at her companion, Kaelli inclined her head politely and added in, "Kaelli."
Selena smirks a little. "And - Bite, if we really wanted to hurt them there's a lot more effective ways than biting them." She comments. "... So many familiar faces here, too. Right, names. That was a little rude of me, wasn't it? I'm Selena. If you're that interested in what I do, you could ask at the academy." She explains, before turning back to the group of gathered beings - "We're probably crowding them a bit, don't you think?" She notes, looking back over her shoulder - "We wouldn't want to scare them, would we?"
"What's this? A trader? Well! We'll definately want to get a few artifacts to bring us back to the studio," Jetstream assures. "As the viewers at home can see, the planet of PROMISE is full of friendly natives. They're already trying to befriend us. Good thing we brought gifts." The others leap into action, reaching into their satchels and bringing out curious little things made of a clearly creator material, smooth, light, shiny, and brightly colored. No local artisan could hope to make something like them. Each one looks like a little big headed animal person with a big ole smile. They start offering one up to each person within range. "Accept these gifts as tokens of good will from our people to yours. We want to tour your amazing city now that we've met your fascinating people." He nods at each name given, though there's certainly no assurance he's remembering them all.
Issi waits untill they move away from the gate so she could come out of her little hiding place. She wanted to tail them to see where they were going and what they were doing. Everyone was so interested in the Creators and excited to see them. She's not. She wants to know what their purpose is. They're up to something...
Yoko Trudges over to the group, clad in her Full-plate armour, greatlance and Zwihander straped to her back, tail as well inside the armour. Town guard insignia on her armour. as she lifts her vizor. "Hello their. Im Yoko of the town guard."
Siyu blinks a little bit and he holds his hands up, "Wait, wait my friend please, please, most of us are common people. I myself am a foreigner. Ahem, before you wish to offer an exchange of gifts, as formal as it is, we should wait from represenatives of the crown, I am sure the Good King, and his family will come to greet you, it is of course, unusual to have visits from the creators." he glances back to the others, "And I would not wish to overstep bounds. Ahem. But we certinally can talk and help answer your questions." the rodent tryign to be diplomatic and correct. Though he waits to see if any of the nobles will step up to offer somthing offical.
One of the other creators speaks up, "You say Sinclair? I heard she was being put to trial for something or other." She looks like she's ready to say more, but a look from a few of the others gets her lips zipped back up.
Bite collects a gift and eyes it warily. This is confusing, there was a creator here before, and theres that new one up in the sky, they weren't as giving. "At home...? Viewers?" she says as she looks around to all the people around her. "Oh are you doing a show?!" she says with a blink. "Oh! Look what I can do." she chimes as she attempts to make a fiery display above her, attempting to impress the creators to see where their knowledge was. No self-respecting being would be impressed by a little fire-show but it was elegant right? Pretty stuff!
Cedric just kind of... stares at the gift for a while as he's handed a strange statue that appears to be somewhat... broken, or incomplete as he studies it. "I think you gave me a broken one... the head is all wobbly and strange..." he says, staring at the trinket with a raised brow.
Selena blinks, taking the small thing in hand and peering at it confusedly. "Well, it's certainly an odd trinket. Is it customary where you're from to hand out these things on meeting new people?" She asks curiously - then looking back to the crowd. "... I doubt I'll have much luck getting an answer to that with this crowd, though." the wolfess mutters. "If you're looking for our own creations, the marketplace is to the south of here. Books and other texts? You can look to the Saint's Square - southwest - for religious ones or the academy - the west - for... Well, academic ones." She explains, looking a little concerned at the reply to her earlier comment about Sinclair. "I had a feeling that was the case."
Kalt blinks as they're suddenly handing things out, reaching out to accept one of the strange animal things as she looks it over curiously. "Oh uhm, thank you! I uh... I figure I got sumptin you can have just a second an' such..." Digging into her bag to pull out a maneback fur cloak, as she holds the 'gift' in her mouth. Extending the cloak out to the fellow whom had given her their gift as she smiles and bows slightly, after all it was only right to return the favor, and it may save them some money!
Dio'es eyes widen greatly once the gifts come into view. More than excited, he quickly grabs one up and holds it within his palm. "Oooo...." Facinated by the curious ADVANCED CREATOR TECHNOLOGY, he bounces it around a few times, up and down, up and down... And then a quick flick upon its head, elicting a short chuckle from pure entertainment. "This is amazin'! An' if ya want a tour o' the city, ya should meet our King! Good King Good, 'ave ya 'eard o' 'em?"
Cassidy looks all the more confused, but graciously accepts the offer gift, giving it a curious once-over. "What an unusual thing... Ah. Show? Viewers? I'm afraid I am not a performer." She frowns and tucks the gift away in her basket, rubbing her head. Receiving gifts was not something she was unused to, being nobility.
Gifts offered back are accepted and passed back to the lowest ranking creator, who is tasked with holding them all carefully and keeping out of the way. "That's the way they're supposed to be," assures Jetstream before he looks to the guard approaching him, "The red carpet's really being rolled out for us today." Why is a red carpet special? "Can you accompany us and keep the crowd from getting too thick?"
At the display of fire magic one of the other creators gawks, "Hey, you said they didn't have any technology more advanced than a catapault, what do you call that?" Jetstream shoots him a scathing look in return, then the professional smile is back, "My friend is right, what technology are you using there? You get that from another visitor?"
Yoko nods. "Sure thing. Im here to make sure everyone stays civilized anyways." As she steps back and stands, just observing the crowd for now.
Kaelli accepted one of the odd little items and looks it over curiously, a proper bow of thanks offered as she takes the gift. Certainly, the curious feline would examine it more thoroughly later. It was somewhat cute in an odd little way and she slipped the figurine carefully into her kit with a murmured, "Thank you!" that seemed completely sincere. As they stare at the simple math display, however, the tigress once more purses her lips.
Siyu looks over to Yoko and he nods, "Yes the town guard, the majority of us here are what are called Freeswords, strong people who help enforce the peace, though not as offically as the guards, and assist all the beings of promise. I am sure that we Freeswords can help assist you and go where you want..." he blinks a bit at their reaction to the fire magic, "What the fire magic? It's just basic mathmagic. Simple yes? I am sure your displays of mathmagic are more advanced. I imagine any number of researchers would love to see some of your equations"
Issi emits a small growl. [What do they want?] She seems to be asking anyone who can hear her. She isn't one to be seen by anyone, but she's not super stealthy. [They don't know of magic? How would they not know of magic?]
Things! They were giving out...things! For free? Noosha eyes hers warily. It appears to be a...toy? Not dissimilar to a doll from her...well, her host's...old room, though far lighter and more detailed than the toys afforded common folk. And yet--she peers from person to person. They all look awfully...same-y. No special craftsmanship. Her cloverleaf ears perk up as she 'hears' a familiar Shadow-'voice' in the air and she responds in kind. [Creator-toys? Is this...an attempt at a bribe?]
Bite looks extremely confused and looks to Selena. "Technology?" she says in an extremely confused tone. That wasn't something she'd ever heard math called before. "I didn't learn that from any creator..." she says as she looks Jetstream over again. "What can you tell us about the creator up there?" she adds, curious. "The new watchcreator who we can talk to?"
Selena laughs quietly. "That depends. Wouldn't you call the crowd a bit thick already?" she replies to the group, gesturing around. "It's impressive in a way." She notes. The latter comment about fire magic prompts a shrug. "Would you like another demonstration of magic?" She offers, bringing her elemental into existence above the group for a few moments and pointing up to it nonchalantly - as though it was nothing particularly unusual. "We use it for almost everything here. I teach it at the academy and I research it as part of my profession." She explains. "If you want, I can give a more... Full demonstration later."
Cedric is still giving the creators a curious look. [...not very bright, I think...] a faded, imperfect reply in the shadow tongue is given to Issi before the mustelid speaks aloud. "It's just a little magic... not too uncommon... here, see?" he says, scratching his cheek and performing a similar feat of fire math between his palms, producing a little hovering wisp of flame.
Jendayi arrives huffing and puffing, the Sphinx having evidently run here in a hurry. Leaning over briefly before she actually arrives to the real meat of the action, she wipes her brow, stands up, composing herself, and strides forwards, taking in the scene with a rapidly increasing sense of awe and wonder. There they were. More Creators. She had only seen a while ago and had barely managed to keep herself from freaking out. As it stands all she can really bring herself to do is wave and smile dumbfoundedly with that creator face of hers, tufted tail swaying behind her.
Kalt blinks at the Creators and tilts her head gently. "S'only magic. I were thinkin' all Creators could be doin' magic an' such." The Vixen focuses for a moment as she uses her own dark magic to make a black ink of shadow swirl around her arm for a moment before dispersing it. "Like that eh? We ain't all silly an' not educated an' such!"
Confusion plays over Jetstream's face but a moment before his show expression returns, "Well of course it's MATHEMAGIC. Where are you hiding your UNKNOWN?" He draws out the same round sphere that all creators seem to have, "Here's mine, see." And he plays with it, fingers dancing before JET STREAM is displayed in burning creator letters in the air accompanied with a loud exclamation of the same thing with accompanying jingle.
Cassidy offers a grin and nods. "Yes! Many of us are adept at magic! In fact, I am pretty good with the winds, myself! I would assume you are as well, mister, given your name." Hers is far less flashy, but she does work up a very slightly breeze, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Catapults?" Dio lets out a large laugh once more and stuffs the gift away for future entertainment. "We got more than that, lads! Don't ya know? We got guns an' everythin' too. Let's see..." Listing off some of the various technologies, the lion starts counting off on a few digits. "We got CANNONS, muskets, blunderbusses, pistols, an' even another type o' pistol that I 'aven't really used yet, but it seems interstin'. An' what is..." He points towards the strange creator device, "That? I ain't never needed a ball fer that kinda stuff. What does that thing do?"
Kalt blinks at the sphere in his hands, furrowing her brow as she scratches her cheek and shrugs. "We ain't got those. We just go studyin' an' learnin' how to do it all an' such... What is that thing? I ain't able to go understandin' when you say it..." The Vixen's tail swishing as she decides to experiment, making a ball of black math in her hand to almost mimic the creators ball. "See? Ain't got one of 'em."
Siyu blinks a little bit, and he tilts his head at Jetstream, looking back to the others, "I'm getting a very bad feeling from this all, prehaps we should stop our demonstrations and...well. Wait for the Good Kings men..." he suddenly feels a sense of dream come over him, "Ahem, I don't know what that word you used is, and we're hiding nothing sir, so let's just...move on?" he asks. Big ears going flat.
Selena looks back at the group of creators, the elemental she'd just conjured flitting about between the letters. "For one, we don't need whatever your 'UNKNOWN' is." She replies. "Apparently the people that created us saw fit to make us innately capable of it. I'm curious as well - what is the little ball you're playing around with?" she asks, gesturing to Dio and the device being manipulated. "And for that matter, where are you planning to head from here? If we stand around in the concourse all day you're not going to see the rest of the city."
Cedric doesn't seem to understand what is implied by hiding, what would he need to hide? He's not carrying much on him aside from his clothing, and even those don't seem to have room to store much. As the sphere is drawn out, he leans in closer to take a good look at it. "No... I don't think I've ever seen anything like that." he says, looking to Selena. "Did the creator cub have one of those, do you remember?"
Bite shakes her head. "I'm not hiding anything... I can do it all by myself. I know mathemagic! I know all of it, I'm great with the water! BUt I like fire." she hisses and smiles with a sway. She attempts to give the creators a splish of water for hydration purposes.
Issi shakes her head. There was another Shadow here, that was at least good. [I don't know. They might be. These Creators are suspicious to say the least. People are too excited.] Thankfully she's managed to avoid the crowd. Something was off to her. But these were the creators. She didn't quite hold them in very hide regard, unlike Beings. [Where have you gotten tangled up? I need more eyes on these 'Creators'.]
