Mira, Utzi

Taking her own moment to glance back at Utzi, Mira let out an audible sigh, "I don't know where you got the idea that I was insulting you, but I'm not. You asked for my knowledge on the Trespassers, I gave it to you. Each Trespasser I've fought up until now have very little in common, aside from the fact that reality seems to strain in their presence. Like I said, you'll feel it when you meet one, and if you can't, then that's not my problem" she stated, keeping her gaze locked on Utzi before turning away to face the hallway, "If they were simple to explain, then I wouldn’t have to give you such vague answers. But they’re not.”

Perlita, Newton

It was a process that came just short of being able to be called long, just managed to slide into being called difficult, and unambiguously sailed past the finish line into the territory of awkward, but eventually Perlita did manage to help the... bird with... his door. (She supposed that compared to all of the weird cultural and mythological and religious representations she'd dealt with, a bird with some sort of... inventory feathers shouldn't have been all that strange, but perhaps this experience was just mundane enough to be weird again.) At the end of it, she sort of just half-crouched with one hand on a knee and one leaning on the door, taking breaths, and watched the bird.

She'd expected another caw or, uh... some sort of bird communication or something, but ended up blinking with no small surprise as instead the crow pulled out a notebook, inkpot and quill, blinking again with more surprise as she parsed the formal wording and elegant calligraphy. "...oh." Well, it HAD just assembled a door, with tools and all, so maybe being this surprised was a bit prejudiced of her. Um... "Um..." Oh, that was out loud. "I'm Perlita - um, Perlita Martinez Diaz. I guess that I'm not really a newcomer at this point - uh, I was part of a smaller group that kind of merged with this one, but that was a little while back now and I've gone through an entire journey," Well, she'd have said worlds, but it would have turned out awkward if the bird didn't know about the whole Trespasser thing yet. Except... actually, if it was making itself this comfortable... "Er, sorry, rather, I've been around this group for one and a half worlds at this point and I have some experience beyond that. I guess that means I count as pretty experienced, really, if I think about it."

Newton, Perlita

Newton looks attentatively at Perlita, listening with a cocked head, and responding with another bow, one wing under its chest.

"Thank you, Perlita." He writes out again, this time in a much faster and less elaborate script, before continuing.

"My name is Newton, and I arrived here unexpectedly, finding myself teleported here after passing through a portal.
This is a strange place.. an interesting castle."

At this, Newton takes a break to flip the page with his feet, while holding his head sideways to position the quill over the page, writing all the while with its head turned at 90 degrees.  It'd be quite possible to think that Newton will eventually goof up, perhaps stepping in the inkwell and ruining that entire book.

"I have a few questions.  Do you know what we are here for?  What worlds are visited?  Why?  Castle is lovely, but many strange big people here.  Must be some reason."

Mira, Utzi
Utzi's lets out a small sigh as Mira finally mentions something worth noting about the trespassers. Brushing aside the fact that the woman had implied he would be unable to understand the concept of something being different every time, he continued to press on with his questions. "You say that "Reality strains in their presence." What is that like?"

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Mira, Utzi

For another few moments, Mira fell silent as she thought about Utzi's new question, eyes flicking away and narrowing in contemplation, "... Truth be told, I don't actually have a way to properly explain that. It's more of a ethereal sense of unease that moves its way to your core, no matter how prepared you are for it. Of course it helps when people trying to work with them outright let you know that you're dealing with a Trespasser."

[Powder Miner]

Perlita, Newton

Perlita's eyebrows raised as she read over the list of questions that she received from Newton - oh, then he had made himself quite comfortable before he even knew why he was here then, huh? That was something that was more stunning than the precariousness of the bird's inkpot had been (although that did stoke her anxiety just a tad). "Oh! Gosh, um, I'm sorry, I really assumed someone had told you. Okay, so... wow, it's kind of a big explanation, I'm not sure I've given it before. Basically, there are these things called Trespassers. I'm not sure exactly *what* they are, but I guess what I know is that they're something wrong, and what they do is they enter worlds, they get inside of something in those worlds and then corrupt them into horrible forms, and use them to destroy those worlds. We're basically, uh, a small part of a grand, multiversal war, as far as I can tell, although it's kind of a big confusing thing. I guess it would be, though, with how many worlds there are and people and so many kinds and... it's a lot, you know? Anyway, we're gathered from different worlds to go to worlds that the Trespassers are attacking, and purge the Trespassers from those worlds to save them. Uh, the hard way."

[Devastator]

Newton, Perlita.

Newton looks at Perlita attentively.. although it's hard to tell what emotions are running through those black eyes and the beak, but his gaze does not leave Perlita, except for the occasional reflexive head-twitch.

Internally, the bird is a whirl of emotions, with little voices ringing out, some going 'big scary monsters' some eager about the fighting as it'll lead to death, and some worrying about his homeworld.. although not so many of those, as things wouldn't have went too bad in a day.  But one word stands out among those Perlita used: 'War'.  That's what decides his overall outlook, one of guarded optimism.

After Perlita finishes, he begins to write again.

"Big war?  Good, I like war.  Lots to eat.  Good place to live, near where war is.  Fly in, eat fill, fly home, raise chicks, good life."
"Just gotta make sure the dead stay dead.  Zombies are bad."

"Is war good for you too?  Or.." at this, the bird pauses. "Was your world attacked?  Was it in danger.. did you defend it?"

[nuclearwhale]

Mira, Utzi
Utzi's face contorts into a look of abject confusion. "People work with the Trespassers? If they are so mindless and destructive, why would anyone do that? What do they offer that would be worth risking the safety of your entire world to work with them for? If they feel so wrong to even be around, I cannot imagine people could be ignorant of the danger of it."

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Mira, Utzi

At Utzi's confusion, Mira simply shrugged, "Beats me. Some are idiots who think that working with them will be beneficial, and some just want to destroy their worlds anyway. The Trespassers just give them an outlet to do so. I don't try to understand them, it's just a waste of my time. Far faster to eliminate them and be done with it than to try and comprehend their stupidity."

[nuclearwhale]

Mira, Utzi
Utzi pinches the bridge of his nose between his fingers as he lets out a somewhat frustrated sigh. "This world is very strange, I cannot imagine someone attempting to work with a dangerous beast. They will just eat you when you are done "helping" them. Probably even before that. The worlds must be full of people who have never had to deal with a beast before."

With a light sigh, Utzi decides to just move on. "Thank you for all your help. I'll attempt to pay attention to the world feeling wrong. Do you have any other general advice for visiting other world that you think someone new to this should be aware of?"

[GodofGamingRWBY]

Mira, Utzi

"No. Just don't go screaming about your objective, and keep your focus on the goal. Our visits are temporary, best to wrap things up as soon as possible" Mira replied, turning away from Utzi and, without another word, marching off to continue her patrol. The conversation was practically over anyway, and Mira had been delayed enough. She had other places to inspect.

Mira leavs the Suites

[StormLord]

Spicy HG

The fiery woman made her way to the Suites soon after returning from the spiritual and old fashioned world she'd just been on.  She paced up and down the halls between the suites, poking her head into unoccupied rooms as she went and knocking on the doors of occupied ones first.  Eventually she settled on one of the worst off rooms, one with an almost totally rotten bedframe and décor.
And she got to work immediately on "disposing" of much of it, anything too rotten to use or otherwise ruined.  A faint smell of burning wood wafted down the hall, along with a noticeable warmth in the cool drafty castle, though also noticeably nearly no smoke.

[StormLord]

Spicy HG

After spending a few minutes clearing the room Spicy HG began gathering materials from the nearby garden and the storeroom down the hall.  Eventually she reached completion of her goal; a series of about six wood and bamboo pedestals evenly arranged along one wall forming the start of a pantheon.  There was room for plenty more obviously, but they probably wouldn't need them for a while.  She took the pendant of Moonsilver and Sharicite she had made previously and with some considerable modifications created a simple shrine depicting a flames(or possibly tendrils of blood) and set it atop one of the pedestals.

She took a step back from her overall work.  It wasn't the accomplishment of a craftsman who'd spent many decades honing their craft, but it was more than serviceable given their standing in this wreck.

With a short nod she turned and stepped out of the room and began down the hall of the Suites area.  She thought she'd briefly caught sight of Mitsurugi heading to one of the rooms on one of her trips for supplies.  So in an effort to find and inform her she started politely tapping on doors until she got the right answer.

[Chevaleresse]

Spicy HG, Mitsurugi

The goddess exhaled quietly at the knock. She had been hoping to remain undisturbed - fortunately, she had most of her ritual in mind, and such a thing would likely work better for one with her domains if it remained unrefined for the moment. Mitsurugi stood from the short table she'd set up, careful not to disturb the tea set on it, and opened the door. "Hello, Spicy. Do you require something of me?"

[AzyWng]

Spicy HG, Mitsurugi, Lyra

The contractor had looked around the suites for a bit before she spotted a read-haired lady tapping at a door. More out of habit than anything else, Lyra stopped where she was and observed what she was doing.

When it opened to reveal Mitsurugi, however, Lyra began to approach, asking the goddess - her goddess, "Mitsurugi. I'm sorry to interrupt, but once you have the time, are you willing to answer a few questions I have?"
