OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

Years ago, you recieved a charter from the United Empire, and were officially made a member of the newly christened Trade Company! Your goal was to seek fortune wherever it may be found in this strange land...of course, through force of arms, if the natives failed to cooperate.

You continue to work for the Empire, but for your homeland of The United Empire-- but now, to a lesser extent, you also aim to help the people you've come to associate here in Jambudvipa. Your merchant navy is ready to make a fortune -- and maybe even foil the plans of the Imperial Crown and bring the Trade Company to stand as a power in its own right.

Let the trumpets call out freedom -- let your marching shake the ground! Let the cannons be your voices and may redemption soon be found.

The road to revolution is long and bloody, but liberty is worth dying for. Fight and win, for the good of all Jambudvipa.

LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

You're now standing in the LAKESIDE VILLAGE, the new home of the LAKENAGA. A bridge leading to the middle of the lake connects the village to the TEMPLE OF KADROO.

The NAGA here slither about, fishing and selling their wares sharing the bounty of electricity with the villagers of MEERUT.


To the EAST is the TEMPLE OF KADROO.
To the SOUTH is JUNGLE.

[approaches one of the Naga, without a care in the world]

Hey! What are you doing here?

[giggles a bit]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

[ She seems to be a naga of modest means, and her hat would seem to indicate that like many here, she is a fisher. ]

...Living? ...Ah, you are one of the Fey Ones. Hello.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[Fey Ones... that... sounded right, sure]

That's right! It looks like a lot of work...

What do you do for fun?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

For...fun? I very much enjoy fishing.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

That's it?!

[shocked, what cold-blooded creatures]

Don't you ever... dance, or sing, or fly?

[another wing-test, still only hover?]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

[ still only hover ]

I...sing sometimes, while I'm fishing?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

Sing for this one!

[she asked, playfully]

Go on, sing your song!

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

[ WELL YOU ASKED FOR IT ]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[... that, wasn't bad! it wasn't really a "dancing" song, but it was neat in its own way]

Wow, you're talented!

[she found herself giggling]

Do the fish like it?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

...I wouldn't know.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[this one started to stare at her] [what a jerk! Even after this one praised her song, she acted like this one was just an annoyance when this one was trying to have a little fun...]

[then again, at least the Naga had tried... this one would just take this as an excuse to leave]

Okay! Thanks again!

[maybe EAST to the TEMPLE would have something more interesting]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

boop

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[has flown back here and looking around] [this one already talked to a fisher, what sort of things were they selling?]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

[ DELICIOUS FISH ]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[just smelly, dead fish?? Were they cleaned, or cooked, even?]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

[ they are cleaned, yes! ]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[well, that wasn't too bad, at least]

[approaches a vendor!]

Hey! What do you usually get for these fish?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

We barter, or it's a sum of FIVE MONIES.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

What if you could make... MORE MONIES?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

I would like to...?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

Good! Let this one tell you an idea...

You all work, but what about the naga over in the temple? They just pray. All the time. If they were working, you could all make more monies because you'd be catching more fish!

This one tried telling them that, and they wouldn't listen! It sounded like laziness.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

It is their job to pray and maintain the realm.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

Can't you do that while you fish?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[these naga are so irritating! back to the jungle!]
