of course his first appearance on the network is screaming

[cameracoded]

-=a loud shriek cuts through the network and for once it's not jules! prompto has figured out the network just in time to have a complete fit=-

THERE'S A DAEMON OUT HERE AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE IT BY MYSELF!!!

-=poor drizzt has again been mistaken for something evil. and yes those are gunshots out in the clearing for anyone nearby=-

[awitchdidit]

...so if it's not Jules who makes these announcements, is it one shot or two?

Anyway, new boy, don't worry. There's nothing dangerous to us here except maybe a trigger-happy newbie.

[cameracoded]

But there's a daemon! Right here! THAT'S A BAD THING!

[otomechapilot]

Oh for God's sake, either it's a person or someone's pet - ARE YOU SHOOTING AT IT?!

[cameracoded]

WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!!

[naturaltwohands]

It's me.

[dino_zarf]

Okay, first rule of the network? Screaming gets filtered away from Rose.

Loud!

[Rose now being old enough to say for herself that she doesn't appreciate the noise]

[cameracoded]

Who the hell is Rose?!

[fruitknife]

If that's you with the gun knock it off before someone ends up in the floor. [Shinji doesn't like guns much. Especially not at this time of year.]

Demon or not, they belong here as much as you so you're gonna have to get used to it.

[cameracoded]

What do you mean in the floor! What is that even supposed to mean!

WHY DOES NOONE CARE THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!

[naturaltwohands]

Thank you, Shinji.

[Guess who's being shot at.]

[failgoyle]

There's a WHAT?!

[NEVER FEAR, HE WILL HELP WITH ALL THE APPROPRIATE SCREAMING.]

[awitchdidit]

Jules, think for two seconds. He probably just saw a Traveler with horns or a tail.

[cameracoded]

A DAEMON!

-=please ignore the spelling of his screams. he's definitely saying demon=-

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt replies with a very loud, network-wide sigh to let everyone know exactly whom was just shot at, and that he's quite all right for the moment.]

It is a pleasure to meet you as well.

[helborn]

Do I need to come kick his ass?

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Where are you?

[cameracoded]

Out in the clearing!

[tookashirototheknee]

Clearly I need to have diversity appreciation classes around here.

You don't have to be angry about people who are different from you. It's very likely that it's just someone from a world or planet that you're not familiar with.

[cameracoded]

But what if they're not! If I got brought here something worse from home could have been too!

[shiroganeheir]

Oh, for Izanami's sake would you put your firearm the hell down.

Whoever that is certainly is another Traveler, and we do not fight other Travelers

Now, stop before people who are more powerful than me attempt to take you down.

[cameracoded]

No! Not until I know everyone is gonna be okay.

[goestoextremes]

Hey, stop with the shooting or I'll make you stop it.

[cameracoded]

I ONLY SHOT ONCE OKAY!!

[papacerberus]

I can be there in a moment to provide healing. I can also assist in calming you down.

[If nothing else, Dormina is a choice. But Song of Calming would work just as well.]

[cameracoded]

One one's hurt yet I don't think?? And and and I don't need calming down!

[morethanashadow]

Yeah, whoever you are shooting is almost certainly not a daemon.

Calm. The fuck. Down.

[cameracoded]

I'm just trying to help!

[capital_asset]

[You really know how to make a good first impression, don't you?]

Assuming that's you firing, you're almost certainly shooting at another Traveler or their pet, which is only going to serve to upset and potentially hurt them, along with angering anyone else who might take issue with you for shooting at their comrade.

[cameracoded]

I was trying to keep that from happening to everyone else!

[brokers]

[Humans.]

You are shooting at another captive. Put the gun away before you get yourself hurt.

[cameracoded]

I was just trying to help!

[thornsofmalkav]

Are you the fucker that just shot that gun?

[Because fuck you, dude. Fuck you.]

[cameracoded]

I thought I was protecting everyone!

[fearguard]

[Very quietly.]

Can we all panic quieter? Please.

[tookashirototheknee]

Are you alright? I don't know how to shut off the network, but if you want distraction I can talk at you a bit.

I understand loud noises really really suck sometimes.

[vrepit_no]

[Have a very stern, very commanding, resonant voice.]

All right that is enough. Holster that weapon and lower your voice. Go find some cover and do some reconnaissance, but quit wasting your ammo and drawing attention.

[cameracoded]

-=shiro doesn't get a real response, save something akin to a mental keysmash and strangled apology. The military bruskness is familiar enough to cut through the whirling chaos of yelling voices, both real and imagined, for at least a moment. not long after he seems to fade from the network entirely=-
