Cohime Lorana

Ada watched curiously as Lorana traced a strange shape on the wall, then blinked as it and her arm began to glow, leaving a ball of light in the shape’s place. “Huh. Neat.” Ada said, inspecting the glowing ball stuck to the brick. She glanced back at Lorana. “So… I guess the phrase ‘you’re not from around here’ really applies in this case.”

"I'm beginning to think so." She agreed with a tense nod, briefly chewing her lower lip. "I was conducting an experiment... trying to enable instant transportation from city to city by layering differing magics onto a stone platform. Last I remembered, I was about to test it... something must have gone wrong." She waved her hand, the mark on the back still holding a faint glow. Her right hand always had a little shine to it, and the fact that it still did gave her some comfort. "Things... feel different here. You don't have magic here, do you?"

"I grew up in a mountainous region just west of Audzep." She said after some hesitation. She was still trying to figure out where she was. Would this Adalynn have any idea what Audzep was? The Empire of Jiaal? Just how far had her little experiment taken her from home? While looking up and around herself, at towering buildings and lights that spoke of no magic origin… she was beginning to worry it wasn’t simply a factor of distance between herself and her home now. “Beautiful city.” She added absently while looking up, wondering how the lights worked. 

"Yeah, probably. He’s an expert in every field except comedy. Heh. And relationships, if you believe the rumours. But if it’s magic, you might want Zatara or somethin’. Really, I’m just good at tackling bad guys and making cheesy one-liners.” Creeper shrugged it off. When it came to advice, he was worse than his reporter counter-part. “But they’re tough to get a hold of, y’know? Not just anybody can get a line with these guys. Even I have to go through the grapevine, and I’m an official member of the JLA! Heh, I think you’re stuck with just me for now, babe.”

"So it seems, for the moment." She let off a short sigh. So much for a simple experiment; she was going to be stuck for a while. "And if I were to ask for your help? Would you give it? Or would you want something in return? If I am to be stuck here I should like to know the rules to blend in... and finding a place to stay wouldn't harm my cause either." 

"And reverse the polarity of the auxiliary thrusters!" He added with an overdone smile and enthusiastic nod. "Now all we need is for another character to come in and give a simple analogy! But seeing as there isn’t anyone else here- you talkin’ about teleportation?" He shook his head and waved his hands. "Oh, no, I’m definitely not the guy to talk to about that technobabble. I think Adam Strange might be able to help you out there, if you ask real nice. Heh. Or Batman, if you’re not too jumpy about kin-kind.” Whatever that was. “Hate teleporting, myself. Makes my organs feel all wiggly.”

She blinked at him a few times, feeling like they were speaking two different languages. "Tech-no-babble...?" She asked, sounding out a word that didn't sit well on her tongue. "Teleportation, yes, but that's already within my natural abilities. I was trying to use magic to imbue a stone pad with that same ability, so it could be used by anyone... a difficult art to experiment with.... you think this... Batman would know anything about that? I doubt I have anything to fear from him, I married a dragon-kin. I would imagine a bat-kin would be a little underwhelming after that."

"Adalynn." She tested the name, and nodded her own approval. Elegant, strong. An easy name to respect. Unlike the apparent name of the city; Gotham sounded like a place dark and deary, and she was sure she’d never seen it on a map before. No, Gotham sounded like a much easier name to fear. “My name is Lorana… I’ve been called a few other things, but I don’t care for any of them.” 

"Lorana. It’s pretty." Ada said, starting to head down the block and prompt the other girl to follow. "So, where are you from? I don’t recognize your accent." 

"I grew up in a mountainous region just west of Audzep." She said after some hesitation. She was still trying to figure out where she was. Would this Adalynn have any idea what Audzep was? The Empire of Jiaal? Just how far had her little experiment taken her from home? While looking up and around herself, at towering buildings and lights that spoke of no magic origin... she was beginning to worry it wasn't simply a factor of distance between herself and her home now. "Beautiful city." She added absently while looking up, wondering how the lights worked.

Reblog if you let other roleplayers take their time

[Always. RP Is about fun. It’s not about social pressure. For me, my threads are not fun unless I know my partner is also comfortable and enjoying themselves. Take your time, breathe, and feel free to only respond once a month. I don’t care if it takes you a year. Only post when you WANT too, when you FEEL IT. It’s how I do it. :D ]

"Gotham City, babe!" He made a broad gesture to the streets around them. "Home of the Batman! That’s what it says on the ‘Welcome To’ sign, y’know. I tried to get a petition to change ‘Batman’ to ‘Creeper’, but I guess he’s more ‘kid-friendly’ or… something. Must be the sidekicks.” Or his generally bright demeanour and welcoming attitude. Ah, well. Creeper opted to change the topic. “Why, don’t remember comin’ here?”

"Batman?" A note of surprise and shock colored her voice. "You mean you accept kin-kind around here?" She then frowned slightly, wringing her hands together in an expression of anxiety. "Well... you could say my arrival here was a little... strange. I don't suppose you'd know anything about mixing auxiliary abilities between elemental specializations in order to create a type of transport-pad, would you? I was trying to make a system of instant transport between the major cities of my home country... and when we tested it, I ended up here instead. Haven't really explored past this little back-alley before you showed up."
