scarsolderthanyouOption I. Syn AU
Another liminal change, another influx of new people, and Stone was tired today. The last Jaunt had been... well, strange. And uncomfortable. And Stone wasn't feeling like going out and meeting everyone else just yet.
So he and Azure were on the platform in his created space, with the door behind him to the rest of liminal open, while she preened his hair and he considered the fake canopy of leaves overhead and possibly a nap.
Option II. Three Worlds
Stone was napping when the scent hit him, and he sat up sharply, startled. An Arbora who had been tending to one of the plants on the same platform jumped and dropped her basket. "Line-grandfather?"
He waved a hand at her rather than answer, climbed to his feet, and shifted, taking off immediately almost before his winged shape had finished settling in. That was the smell of an asura, and he did not want anyone else to be the one to find him first.
Option III. ELSEWHERE take your pick, her world or another random one
Traveling had broken something, as far as Stone could tell. He hadn't seen the colony tree for more than a couple days at a time, before bouncing off to some other world again. He didn't have anything he needed to fix or change, like actual Traveling, it just... lasted as long as it lasted before he found himself able to open a portal again to get back home.
This time it seemed like one of the modern Earth-ish worlds, as far as Stone could tell. He got a few funny looks for the height, the gray skin, and the bare feet, but no one had stopped him yet. Since he hadn't tried to smile yet, no one could question the teeth. Right now, he was just looking for wherever he could sit down for a while, take in the scents, and listen to people so he could get his bearings.
Option IV. WILD CARD
Got something else you feel like playing out, an AU of some sort or a private walkabout or something? Go ahead and make a starter and I will tag!

almost a month late whooo
Date: 2018-11-19 02:05 pm (UTC)Gale doesn't have much of a response to Stone's rumblings. He comprehends facial expressions, posturing and outbursts as well as the next person, but he tends to rely on his ability to read emotion more than outward displays of emotion. I has a habit of making him seem insensitive or fearless. Occasionally stupid.
He remains near Stone after he's set down, attention turning to the confused Arbora. He bows his head in greeting to the two mentors. Normally he would approach himself, but for now he lets Stone do all the major introductions.
a tag is a tag no matter how late :D

"It's true," Stone grumps at him. "I don't lie."
"But you leave things out when you feel like it, line-grandfather," Heart is bold enough to say, and Stone glares at her. She doesn't take it seriously, thankfully, but sets down the book she'd been holding to come over to the two of them.
