Hi everyone!! Our name is Sparrow Freling and we're new to Enodia! We haven't met many of you yet but we're looking forward to it. We'll be starting with the Explorers and Research tomorrow. Our background is in photography and we've been working with IRIS to document emerging Riftlands the last year and some, so we're not unfamiliar with all that.

Even if we've never met any giant moles.

Also! We checked around the Rec Center and the gym but couldn't find anything about pick up sports. If we set it up, would anyone be down? We aren't picky! Whatever you folks are into, we'll learn it!

[Evan]

We hope this isn't rude to ask, but do you eat?

[......]

[Rory]

Should we talk? Hypatia told me we'll be working together and we

[Lou]

Could we ask you something?

Comments

Sparrow.

[loudon]

Of course. What's up?

Lou/Sparrow

[sparrowfreling]

Thanks. [...] How has Rory been?

We don't know when we'll be able to have a real talk with him again. So you seem like the one to ask.

Lou/Sparrow

[loudon]

He's a bit [...] overwhelmed, I think, but it's not just because of you. Another ex of his showed up earlier this week, so I think it's just a lot for him to process. Also another-another ex is coming to get the moles, so I hope you don't take it too personally if he needs a little time to come around.

Sorry this is a bit of an awkward start to things. I'm also in Exploration and Research if y'all have any questions.

[failson]

Hello, welcome! We're all happy to have you here! I'm Whit from Operations and I run Stamp of Approval, the stationery shop. I'm afraid I don't know much about the available sports at the recreation center, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks who'd take you up on your offer.

I'm excited to meet you!

[sparrowfreling]

Thanks! We're glad to meet you, Whit! Officially! [...] A stationary shop? Would you say you're well-stocked in 'cute'?

We hope so! Nothing like a little friendly competition to build camaraderie, right? Think you'll be one of those folks?

[failson]

Yes, definitely! I try my very best to have something for everyone, so I absolutely have an abundance of cute stuff! Are you a Sanrio fan?

[...] I'm not really particularly sporty these days, but... maybe? I used to play hockey when I was younger (North Dakotans gonna North Dakota) but not so much any more.

[hulled]

I could be persuaded into sports.

SPARROW.
Food?

[sparrowfreling]

Persuaded how? Or is that up to us to figure out? We're up to the challenge if we need to be!

[Evan]

Yeah! [...] Or anything else!

[hulled]

Usually it’s just an invitation. I’ll bring oranges and gatorade.

SPARROW.
Sometimes. I usually just need to be oiled like the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz.

[imaginist]

"We"?

[sparrowfreling]

[...] Yeah! We're many things, not just one. So it feels right these days.

[imaginist]

That's fascinating. When did you become "many things"?

[grndctrl]

I understand that. Haven't made the full transition to We yet, but there are times it feels right. Tom Hendricks, by the way. Research.

[coulee]

there's no baseb it's too hot for hoc morning barre ain't far from a blood sport some days

[sparrowfreling]

[...] We've heard that's not for the faint of heart! Do you like it?

[coulee]

it's decent

[beautyfull]

Omg yessss seconding come 2 barre yr ass will thank u except after yelling for a long time.

[norush]

[...] we? hey I'm we're I'm willy and I mostly do like border patrol type stuff. nothing too fancy

[sparrowfreling]

Good to meet you, Willy! Sounds important, though. Which is better than fancy in our book. Thanks for looking out for everyone!

[stgermaine]

It's a pleasure to have [...] all of you on board. I'm Isaiah St. Germaine, and I'm also a member of research.

I'd love a demonstration of your abilities, if you don't mind. Sorry, I was reading a bit into other peoples' conversations and sort of got the gist of what you can do.

[sparrowfreling]

Pleasure to be here, Isaiah! Thanks!

We don't mind. We usually don't spend a whole day in one shape anyway. Any requests?

[crawlwaller]

We should do volleyball.

[sparrowfreling]

Heck yeah! Volleyball's a good one!

[forseconds]

Hello! I'm Leon, also new, and still getting lost. I'm very good at pickup sports where uncoordinated and awkward can be offset by enough height. Know any of those?


Might I ask, is that a royal We?

[sparrowfreling]

Good to meet you, Leon! We're sure you'll get your bearings soon.

We're playing for fun and practice'll win out in the long run anyway, so don't let a little awkwardness stop you!! BUT. Maybe volleyball or tennis? Reach goes a long way and there's less space to worry about?

We aren't that fancy. It's a [...] shared hivemind 'we'?
