❝ ONE ❞ ( video + action )

[sanskrit]

[India is rather composed even though he's found himself in such a place. No need to look scary or intimidate anyone he is possibly speaking too, right?]

Namaste, everyone who can see and hear this. This technology is something new to me, but is indeed quite ingenious and useful. [he pauses briefly, giving a smile.] I'd like to ask people for more information about this place and the circumstances as why I was brought here. While a vacation is always good for the mind and soul, one taken so abruptly is not.

ACTION:
[India is sitting cross-legged on a rock located on the beach. He's wearing clothing like this, but doesn't have the bow and arrow. He looks like's he's enjoying the view, or maybe he's thinking about something. Feel free to interrupt him.]

[sanskrit]

Thank you for the information. [good, straight to the point and with good detail.] So we are dealing with those with advanced magic powers similar to those of deities?

[gordianknots]

[and that's the first time anyone's ever said that about Waver's speech habits.]

I would say that's a fair assessment, yes.

[sanskrit]

Then yes, I am truly Rama in this story. [he says to himself for the most part.]

Is there any sort of resistance movement on the island?

[gordianknots]

None unified and all different in approach.

[sanskrit]

Disorganization is the biggest obstacle, then.

Sorry for making the tone of this conversation so serious. Is there anything enjoyable about this place? There must be places for people to have fun and be happy.

[gordianknots]

Now that's an old story.

[he shrugs it off] It's a serious matter that should be treated seriously, there's no need to apologise. And in the interest of honesty, I have not explored the relaxing aspects, nor do I plan to.

[sanskrit]

Is this a personal choice? Or are there punishments for such actions?

[gordianknots]

Personal choice. Any form of relaxation is a simple path down consent to this places' plans, and that I refuse to allow.

[sanskrit]

So something like... ah, I think the tale of the lotus eaters is comprable, if you know that story?

[gordianknots]

[you have no idea how much you just threw him bringing in the ancient Greeks.]

-- Yes, something to that effect.

[sanskrit]

[being an old fart does that...]

So what sort of behavior is promoted by these rulers?

[gordianknots]

[and part of Waver's past included summoning up Alexander the Great]

In the past, before I was present, there were physical threats. Recently, some playing with language abilities and then prompting everyone to participate in some rather silly actions. Due to the plurality, there is no uniform mode of behaviour.

[sanskrit]

Physical threats are alarming, but the others, they appear to me mind games of sorts.

How long have you been here-[ah, how rude of him.] How impolite. I forgot to ask your name. I go by many names, but these days, most know me as India.

[gordianknots]

They're both employed, although if they're used in equal measure is an assessment I can't offer at the moment.

To your first question - a few weeks. To your second - Waver Velvet. Is there a particular reason you have the name of the entire subcontinent?

[sanskrit]

Namaste, Wave Velvet.

And yes, there is a reason for my name. I am the country if India.

[gordianknots]

Oh, that makes sense then.

[sanskrit]

It confuses some humans at first. Do you know another nation? And if there are any here?

[gordianknots]

Honestly, after all the bizarre things I've had to deal with in my life, countries being given flesh and blood sounds like the opposite of confusing.

But as to your other questions, I do not, and if there are, I'm unfortunately unaware of their presence.

[sanskrit]

I would have to agree with that, too, but maybe it's my age talking.

Hopefully they were spared from this fate, and soon enough they'll notice my lack of presence at home.

[gordianknots]

Likely, and I'll venture you're far older than I am.

-- as for that statement, you know, I'm not even sure if the other timelines stop when we're pulled here or what.
