Goodbye Grimnest
I’d never left Grimnest before. Not truly.
The closest I’d been to leaving was my time at the Druse Academy. That didn’t really count, not when it was just going from A to B. It only counted if you go from A to Z and all the letters in between. Now? Now I’m going to see all those Letters. Heck! I’m going to go beyond the letters and see all the numbers and symbols the world can offer.
My family was worried. It was obvious in my mother’s sad smiles and father’s ample advice. Yet they also didn’t doing anything to stop me. Instead they set us up with as much possible, everything that could help increase our chances in the unforgiving Cascade. I was loaned my brother’s hover bike to get us there and set off once I’d given my final respects at my relatives’ graves.
I got to drive, which means we were making fantastic time. Emphasis on were.
We stopped for a break only a short distance to Uncle’s. I wanted to keep going since it was so close, but Zareen demanded a chance to be on solid ground. Don’t know why anyone would want that when they could be feeling the wind through their hair. Especially when not driving gives you ample opportunity to embarrass yourself.
While examining my goggles for dirt, my fingers slipped on the slick frames. They slipped and smacked me in the face with the force of a raksha punch… well, sorta. It hurt is the point.
My pride was hurt next when Zareen started to laugh. I’m going to have to floor it to get my revenge.

11:59 pm - 02.11.2019"wait how big should groups be?"
11:59 pm - 02.11.2019"I'm good with you both joining in!" A glance to zareen for confirmation on her end.
11:55 pm - 02.11.2019"Hey I have't crashed a vehicle yet! But yeah, Independent Contractors for Omicron! but what about you guys? Where are you all from?"
11:52 pm - 02.11.2019[i]Twindle scowls[/i], "The trip was great until the sailing."
11:49 pm - 02.11.2019"Grimnest!" [i]Arm tossed around Zareen's shoulder[/i] "We both are!"
11:45 pm - 02.11.2019[i]Introductions already happening! He's got to catch up![/i] "Uh- I'm Toric Macus! Everyone calls me Twindle, though! Don't really know why but nicknames sure do stick! Also a crystal priest," [i]He makes a motion to pull something out of bag but pauses, aborting the motion,[/i] "I'd show you but Azurean is kinda nasty stuff and while I can touch it not all you can and this is a big crowd kinda squished close together soooo..." [i]Hands raised halfway between open palms of helplessness and a shrug[/i]
11:43 pm - 02.11.2019[i]Up an eyebrow goes.[/i] "You mean stuck with me?" [i]He knows what you really mean Zareen.[/i]
11:38 pm - 02.11.2019[i]Salute![/i] "Yes Ma'am- Boss- Captain!" [i]Sorry, Captain Amarey, he's new to this.[/i]
11:36 pm - 02.11.2019"If you need drivers for any vehicles we may be bringing, I can help with that! I'm a pretty good driver!"
11:24 pm - 02.11.2019[i]Wait brick- that guy is talking to a brick. Not an outdated phone or communicator like... an actual brick.[/i]
11:16 pm - 02.11.2019"Oh so Its gonna be like a meet and greet!" [i]Only their lives may depend on their choice, neat![/i]
11:14 pm - 02.11.2019[i]OOP just gonna.. avoid looking Zareen directly in the eyes.[/i]
11:08 pm - 02.11.2019"Cool." [br][i]Ah, what a grin he has now.[/i]
11:06 pm - 02.11.2019[i]there is one thing he is curious about, worries aside. Twindle raises his hand,[/i] [br]"How big of a boom could we expect from these explosives?"
11:02 pm - 02.11.2019[i]motioning to himself, still whispering[/i] [br]"Zareen we both know I'm not exactly fantastic example of adventurer prowess!" [br] [i]Those guys? Those guys are clearly the real thing![/i]
10:58 pm - 02.11.2019[i]just checkin[/i] [br] to see if I am doing the bbcode right
10:56 pm - 02.11.2019*lean over to zareen and whispering* "We've only met three of them and I already feel out of place."
10:50 pm - 02.11.2019"Yeah, I value my life at least half the amount she probably thinks!"
10:43 pm - 02.11.2019*quick jump to attention to watch the boss*
10:38 pm - 02.11.2019What? No of course I didn't touch anything! (You walked in with me Zareen! You saw I didn't touch anything!)
10:36 pm - 02.11.2019The Depature V2
10:29 pm - 02.11.2019Arrived at the Ebon Cascade!
We're finally here! I can't wait for us to get going. There has to be someone we need to check in with, right?
04:11 pm - 01.11.2019Arrived at the Isle
Ughhhh.... thank the gods we've finally arrived, I don't know if my stomach can take anymore sailing!
03:30 am - 26.10.2019Reached Port Royal
Of course we made it here, I drive fast but I'm a great driver!
01:56 pm - 24.10.2019Goodbye Grimnest
I’d never left Grimnest before. Not truly. The closest I’d been to leaving was my time at the Druse Academy. That didn’t really count, not when it was just going from A to B. It only counted if you go from A to Z and all the letters in between. ...
04:50 am - 24.10.2019Its awesome to see the Mountain God in the far off distance. Of course I can't really admire it. I'm supposed to be watching the road.
12:00 am - 23.10.2019Leaving Prime
Off we go! We'll get there in no time with ME driving!
11:10 pm - 21.10.2019@1005406d-9f0a-4510-a89c-ba0ab119bd64 Guess what? My brother said we could take his hoverbike to my Uncle's place since its only a few miles away from Port Royal! But you know what that means. >:) I GET TO DRIVE!
04:11 pm - 21.10.2019I still can't believe our request to join the Fifth Ebon Expedition actually got approved! I'm so excited!!

Social Aptitude
Twindle is very open and friendly, its a wonder he managed to not die or get utterly scammed in a huge place like Prime. Maybe he's a bit more street smart than he's given credit for.
Or more likely its just dumb luck.
Speech
"IT'S FINE!" Tends to come just before something goes wrong.
