⟪ and bam. on your screen, a guy, white-haired and surprisingly jovial, which is a bit at odds with what he’s about to ask. is it genuine, or is it a façade?? who knows. you might recognize him as the fool who innocently swiped left on you—or the guy who told a really bad astronaut joke on the netherwork. either way, shiro’s gonna shiro, so he’ll introduce himself again—just in case—his mouth a polite curve. ⟫

Hello. I’m Shiro… How’re you all holding up?

⟪ don’t worry, there’s no pep talk this time. not unless you ask for it, anyway. ⟫

I’ve a… I’ve a favor to ask. For my arm… or lack thereof. ⟪ point in case; his gaze drifts a bit to his right side, where his sleeve hangs empty. ⟫ I had a prosthetic once, back home, but uhm… ⟪ and there it is. a chuckle. half-strangled, half-nervous as he cuts the camera another hesitant glance and clears his throat, stifling a wince. ⟫

If anyone with skills in finding alternatives to missing limbs is somehow looking for a great candidate, well… you’re looking right at him! No complaining, high pain tolerance… and I used to be a pilot, so I can sit for as long as you need me to. This is not an emergency. You can reach out when or if you ever have time to spare.

Thanks.

⟪ ooc | voice-to-text is 100% a thing and it’s probably what shiro will use to reply to you! ⟫

You think that's what it was then?
Haunting the woods
Faeries?

I'll go back to the Shadowlands if necessary

I did not see any other fae aside from the Puck. I am certain that was a fae, I've met more than my fair share of the fair folk when I was still living. Yet, where there is one... there is often more. It's possible what we saw - those dilapidated tents and torn peoples - were the work of fae.

Best to tread lightly, in that case.

( he pauses a moment, as if to really think about the offering that he would go there if he needs to... )

I appreciate your willingness to, but if so - I may have to go with you. Identifying plants can be dangerous if you aren't experienced, and on top of the danger the Shadowlands themselves poses - it would be best to be focused on one or the other.

There's so much more to the universe than I thought
And I've seen my fair share of oddities

I don't mind the company if you'd rather come with
Just keep in mind that if push comes to shove
I'm not the soldier I once were

[terraria]

We're alike, you and I. I certainly can't comprehend some of the things I've seen here.

( now usually... aspen is the one to pretend that he's helpless. usually he's the one saying he might need a hand. but... well, in this case, maybe he can let some truth eke through?

for someone who is in need. )

Together, I'm certain we can overcome the obstacles poised before us. You're not the soldier you once were, and I'm not the battlemage I used to be, but we should be able to find a good balance with joint abilities.

Maybe in time, we'll manage to figure this place out
For now, it looks like we have a deal!

[terraria]

Oh - Winds guide me, I haven't even introduced myself properly.

I'm Aspen. Let me know when you would like to depart and when you're able, and I'll be happy to join you.

[constellational]

Eh, no big deal
We've got enough on our plates and plenty to think about
It's a pleasure to meet you though, Aspen
I'll give you a call as soon as possible

[terraria]

Understood. Do take care in the meantime!
