Start: It is early morning on what we would recognize as the 1st of May in the region of McKay's-Vill, Georgia, on a previously unexplored alternate earth. This is a world where the lands beyond Africa have never known the footfall of humanity, for we died out long ago, leaving the world to continue on without any form of hominids. The world is a colder one than what you and I know, Northern Georgia is a temperate latitude in this world, while sheets of ice hundreds of feet high cover much of North America even in the midst of this warm spring day. Suddenly, the skies open in a coruscating aura similar to the Aurora Borealis, but with its colors inverted, bloody reds, sickly oranges, and actinic yellows roiling across the sky. Out of this maelstrom emerges a ship, heading south at high speed towards coastal Florida... Suddenly there is an explosion from the ship, and hundreds of giant canisters made of glass, crystals, steel, brass, and copper rain from the heavens, carried safely to the ground by parachutes. They are scattered, singly or in small groups, over a fifty-mile-wide one-hundred-mile-long strip of land by the time they all come to rest, then, a few minutes later, raggedly and fitfully, they begin to open. Inside are people taken as slaves from over a hundred different worlds, and what will become of them in the coming days largely depends on the actions of a small handful, those that landed first, nearest the point where the ejection tubes opened... It depends on us.
A man in a red rough tunic pushes his door open, as he does he nearly falls over from what appears to be some very serious wounds. Nearly falling unconscious he manages to crawl into a small dip in the land and tries to tend to his wounds(uses Self-heal) his hands glowing. totally focused on his task he falls into a deep sleep from exaustion
The stasis capsule door hisses open, revealing a single robotic core. GR-7318 hums alive. As it's single "eye" lights up, it immedietely begins to scan it's surroundings. ...Scan Initializing... ...Climate: Freezing... ...Terrain: Rough... Initializing Self Modification. GR-7318 used 80% (8mp), and 2 pounds of metal from it's stasis capsule to make it's body. It's new body was like a ball, built for high mobility, and little combat capabilities. With it's new body, it conducted another scan. ...Scanning for nearest civilization... ...Error...Error... Re-initializing scan... Scanning for nearest.... Female... It rolls away from the statis capsule, and begins it's search.
The stasis pod had landed safely and the mechanism was whirring to life. Its door opened to reveal a human woman, clad in a rough, leaf green tunic. She slowly woke and opened her eyes. Groggily, she looked around a moment, unsure of her surroundings. Confirming she was uninjured—thank the Gods—she got up and climbed out of the strange boat. The survivor listened closely and scanned her surroundings, before deciding where to go.
(I.C. Post for the GMPC, morning GM update to follow.) Nearby, another capsule opens, though it is stuck in the branches of a tree. Out climbs a woman, wearing a Midnight Blue set of tunic and trews. She is very short, and small in every other dimension as well, save her breasts which look huge on her frame, though actually small by normal standards. From her vantage in the branches of a mighty elm tree, she can see the others emerging from their own stasis capsules, and climbs down to greet them. "Hello! You two?! Do we know where we are?" She calls out to the woman and the robot, reasoning that the snoring man won't answer readily. The woman is strange, her skin is alternately coal black, and true white*, arranged in a strange pattern on her face, with white around the eyes and across the lower jaw, and black on the rest of the head. GR-7318 can see from its vantage point that there also are two white stripes coming up the back of her neck and up to the top of her head, as well. *(Not the off pink color most people think of when talking of 'white' skin, but an actual white, like quality printer paper.) Her hands are black on the backs out to the first joint of the fingers then white on the palms and the second and further joints of the fingers, except with a black spot on the pad of the final joint where you would expect it to touch a keyboard. Her feet, from what you can see of them, are the same, and those are the only parts currently visible.
Birds sang in riotous profusion from every tree, as the three strangers stood together in a tiny clearing...

Sauna-Tan/Alvilda Thorrsdottir relationship modifier: Strangers: +/-0 Request Risk/Reward Modifier: No Risk & No Reward: +/-0 Result: Alvilda Thorrsdottir is unfavorably inclined toward Sauna-Tan's request. (Asking where they are.)
GR-7318 approaches Sauna-Tan, "Apologies, my scanners are not powerful enough to pinpoint our exact location." It said in a robotic voice. With her request answered, GR-7318 returns to it's previous task. ...Scan Complete... ...Females Detected... ...Initializing Seduction Protocols... The faint light glowing inside GR-7318' ball form, turns to pink. And it once again approaches Sauna-Tan, "Hey there baby, you want to have a good time?" A recording of a suave man played. A small arm tipped with a vibrator extends toward Sauna-Tan, waiting for her response.
'How in Hel's name should I know, svartálf?' Alvilda spat back to the diminutive alien. 'Some forest is all I can tell from down here.' She went over to the sleeping giant of a man, 'The half-Jötunn here is injured. He needs help.' Alvilda inspected Joseph's wounds and thought how to best help him recover.
Falling safely on to this cold unfamiliar environment she looks around noticing others going down the ship. A group here and there is being formed within her range. Wearing light clothing built for warmer temperatures. Red cloth and decorative metal protection for her breasts. She is dark black skin and short black hair that is lightly braided. Her light attire is not suited for this cooler weather, but she begins to run once she has landed that allows her some heat into her body. She finds some alien creatures and humanoids nearby "Greetings" She bows down to the ground speaking a tongue that may not be familiar with any in the group, but does universal bow of greetings that she hopes will please them "Permission to join your group, please?"
(I.C. Post for the GMPC, afternoon GM update to follow.) Sauna examines the very forward little ball of metal and considers. On the one hand, she hasn't orgasmed in more than a year of waking time, on the other, she didn't want to look 'easy' but on still a third, she wouldn't risk pregnancy unless she wished it... Just then, the African woman shows up, and Sauna tries to talk with her: "I can't understand you, can you please speak in Umberholm?" She asks, in that language, which Eshe miraculously understands.
The group of beings begins to gather. GR-7318 replies positively to Sauna-Tan's request (Where are we?). Sauna-Tan's relationship tward GR-7318 improves to: Aquantance (Positive)! (Degree +1/5: mod +1.) GR-7318 makes a request: Compare Stats: GR-7318: Soul 5. Sauna-Tan: Soul 7. The difference is -2.

Total modifier: +2 Result: Sauna-Tan is mildly inclined to accede to GR-7318's request. (Engage in sex with him.) [She may ask for him to 'Sweeten The Deal', possibly by mitigating risk, such as by going on a date and/or removing to a more private location first.] Alvilda replies negatively to Sauna-Tan's request (Where are we?) Sauna-Tan's relationship tward Alvilda worstens to: Aquantance (Negative)! (Degree -1/5: mod -1.) Alvilda attempts to examine Joseph Teal's wounds: Compare Stats: Alvilda Thorrsdottir: Mind 4 Difficulty: 2+ Minor, 5+ Moderate, 9+ Complete. Result: Minor Alvilda has seen men with much worse injuries than the 'half-jötun', he is probably going to recover with a few days bed rest. (She could probably restore him to full vitality using her Freja's Touch power, but it would take nearly all of her energy, and would probably wake him as well.) Eshe makes a non-verbal ovature of introduction: Compare Stats: Eshe Average of Body And Soul: 7. Sauna Tan: Soul 7. Alvilda Thorrsdottir: Soul 7 GR-7318: Soul 5 Joseph Teal: (Asleep, immune to visual stimuli.) Sauna-Tan and Alvilda Thorrsdottir: tie Result: no inclination achieved. GR-7318: The Difference is +2. Result: GR-7318's relationship toward Eshe improves to: Acquaintance (Positive)! (Degree +1/5: mod +1.) Eshe makes a request: but it has no result because no one understood the language used. Sauna-Tan makes a request of Eshe: (Please speak Umberholm) Compare Stats: Sauna-Tan: Soul 7. Eshe: Soul 8. The Difference is -1. Eshe's relationship status toward Sauna: Strangers: +/-0 Request Risk/Reward Modifier: No Risk, Moderate Reward (Clear communications established, native language becomes a secret-language, Sauna's relationship towards Eshe improves.) Total modifier: +3 Result: +2 in favor of granting request. (Eshe is somewhat favorably inclined towards Sauna's proposal.)
Alvilda leaned over Joseph, and saw his wounds healing slowly, 'Hmph, maybe he's half-troll instead. He should be fine in a day or two, but we might need his strength...' she pondered. Closing her eyes, she laid her hands on his wounds and chanted, 'Freyja, o Goddess most fair, hear mine plea. Let me be thy vessel in this dark hour and send thy blessing to this mortal in need of thine aid.' Alvilda channels 5 MP to heal 1 HP on Joseph.
Joseph awakens to see what appears to him to be a woman of nordic descent looking at him "great, I'm still on earth, how are you my beauty?" Joseph reaches up to give Alvida a hug but stops as he realizes he doesnt know her "Hello! Centurion Joseph Teal! how may I thank you?" he says bowing to Alvida
Eshe nods to Sauna "I can speak Umberholm perfectly well. I am self taught in the language. Do you know what occurred for us to be in this cold environment and where we are exactly?" She looks at the little robot then back to Sauna "Is this a piece from the ship?"
While GR-7318 was waiting for Sauna-Tan's response, he rolls around to face Eshe. "Greetings! No GR-7318 is not part of any ship." It answered with robotic tone, then proceeds to approach her. ...Female Detected... ...Initializing Seduction Protocols... It approaches Eshe with the same pink light, and extra vibrating appendage. "Hey there sweet chocolate, how about you and me go have a good time?" The suave voice recording played once more.
(I.C. Post for the GMPC, Evening GM update to follow.) Let me preface this post by stating that those who most are concerned about being seen as 'easy' are often the very same who wish they could BE 'easy'... "Hold up there a second stud, you're with me, remember?" Sauna-Tan says and looks at Eshe, "Unless you're okay with sharing the little love-ball?" She asks. "In answer to your question, we were captured by a group of Confederate slavers, I'm not sure where we are, but it sure does feel chilly." Sauna says, then smacks her forehead and extends a hand. "Hi, I'm Sauna-Tan, nice to meet you..."
Eshe ignores the comment of the robot and goes back to Sauna-Tan "Hi, my name in my language is Eshe. I am more into humanoids...bisexual preference. Where are as you say Con...fed...er...ate slavers?" She looks around the surroundings feeling her arms which are full of goosebumps.
Joseph Teal makes an overture toward Alvilda: (How can I repay you?) Compare Stats: Joseph Teal: Soul 6 Avilda: Soul 7 The difference is -1. Alvilda's relationship status toward Joseph: Strangers: +/-0 Request Risk/Reward Modifier: No Risk, High Reward (Gain boon of choice, Joseph's relationship toward Alvilda will improve.) Total modifier: +4 Result: +3 in favor of granting request. (Alvilda is favorably inclined towards Josephs's overture.) Eshe replies positively to Sauna's proposal, Sauna's relationship towards Eshe improves to Aquaintances (Positive)! (Degree +1/5: mod +1.)
Because Eshe didn't seem interested, GR-7318 rolls back to Sauna-Tan. It stops when it reacher her feet, and plays a seemingly recorded response, "Ready when you are, baby. Just tell me what you like." A holographic menu pops up on top of GR-7318. Vibration Speed 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Rhythm 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Voice Male Female The options were limited since it's body was newly made, and lacked the appropriate upgrades. But nevertheless GR-7318 was eager to start, and was wating for Sauna-Tan's response.
Alvilda looked the huge Roman up and down and a smirk formed on her lips, 'Alvilda, daughter of Thorr, is mine name, Kenturion Iosef.' She looked up at his face, 'You are in my debt now. And I am certain, I shall find a way for you to thank me.' She folded her arms in front of her chest, 'For now though, we should concentrate on finding more important things. Water, food, shelter, those things, no?'
