Shortly after the Cavalry Arrives Regarding Prompto's Post

[naturaltwohands]

ENOUGH!

We are handling the situation! Stop your shouting at the poor man! It was an honest mistake, and I am safe. It is common for goodly folk to consider me an enemy when taken by surprise of my appearance, and I will not fault those here for doing the same.

Leave him be.

Comments

[papacerberus]

[Slightly distractedly, but gently]

Agreed. At this point continuing becomes harassment and runs risk of causing further incident.

[Not actually private, but definitely meant for Drizzt specifically.]

Thank you for stepping up in this way; it's very honorable.

[naturaltwohands]

Indeed, it does.

[You understand why he's doing this, thank you.]

And no thanks is needed; it was a mistake, and this is right.

[papacerberus]

I'm just glad it's being resolved without violence.

[There is a feeling of something unsaid there. Lupa understands the need to protect comrades, he does ever so well, but... Casper's entrance irks him just a bit.]

Private

[helborn]

[Casper's mental response is tinged with anger, with fear, with exhaustion and regret.]

I won't let them hurt you.

Private

[naturaltwohands]

[Gentle, calm, and tinged with what can only be described as a deep, brotherly love.]

I know. But please, I am all right. Not even a hole in my cloak.

Private

[helborn]

... I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt. Or if... if...

[There's definite pain in his mental voice.]

I... sorry...

[awitchdidit]

Honestly, I mostly chimed in to make fun of Jules...but the important thing is, no one died, and we can all relax and welcome the twitchy new person now.

[naturaltwohands]

Yes, that is the most important thing.

... do you think they are related?

[awitchdidit]

Well, Jules favors the flight response, the new guy favors fight. It's too soon to tell, really.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Quick question. Will all of your weird psychic shit, can anyone block off his access to all this right now? Please?

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt doesn't ask why, understanding.]

If anyone, it will likely be Armin.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Then can you put a message through? I don't know who the fuck that is.

[rustyhonesty]

I know how to in two different ways. Though you'd need to know how to protect your mind first...

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Okay, let me rephrase it - does anyone know how to do it without actually hurting him? Because I am not requesting someone mind-blast my friend right now, sorry that wasn't clear. [Eliot's tone is sharp and impatient.]

[rustyhonesty]

Sounds like I missed quite a mess...

[naturaltwohands]

You can say that. It's okay now.

["It's okay now", meaning Drizzt has been around the moderns for long enough that he's picked that up.]

[rustyhonesty]

I'm glad to hear it.

You handle the situation very well. Many others would have done otherwise.

[forcechanic]

We need to come up with something so this doesn't keep happening.

[If only because she has had it with getting a head full of angry]

[privated from Prompto because Drizzt realized psychic protections were overkill]

[naturaltwohands]

I agree. This should... be something we should have a meeting over. Or at least discuss thoroughly once things have calmed.

If this keeps on happening, someone will eventually be killed. And it was nearly myself today. Had I been slower....

[forcechanic]

Yeah...

[No one needs to explicitly finish that thought]

It's tricky, figuring out how to head it off right from the start. But there has to be something...

Private from Prompto

[otomechapilot]

I'm sorry for jumping down his throat too, and I said so to him.

Let me know what should go on the rules and Welcome New Traveller's sign cause WOW we badly need those hanging up in Leo's Workshop.

Private from Prompto

[naturaltwohands]

He seemed very shaken by the whole experience.

"Travelers are from all worlds and have all forms; learn to be pleasantly surprised by your discoveries." ... And yes, we do. Perhaps mentioning the floor as well would be prudent.

[otomechapilot]

A flat out warning that you shouldn't expect stuff to work the same way on different worlds, too.

Remember the Titans? Cause I remember people freaking out about the Achaean Titans.

[brokers]

I wonder, would you be half as sanguine if he had attempted to murder anyone else for their appearance?

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt is quiet for a long moment. You can almost hear his sigh and see him shaking his head helplessly.]

Calling me on my hypocrisy, I see.
