PCs with Molly

[Nothing dangerous! Just someone trying to scramble up the side of the dorm. It might be a bit of a jumpscare though because as soon as Molly goes to the window Lalli's face pops into view, as he's pulling himself up on the window ledge. He wasn't specifically looking in the window or anything, but it's hard to miss a purple man right there.]

[headmt]

[He does, in fact, jump back about two feet - holding his hands to his belt and ... not finding anything there. But that's fine. He recognizes the face after a second, blinking. And then going to open the window.]

. . . Watcha doin'?

[silentscout]

Climbing.

[He says that like it should be obvious.]

Checking the third floor windows.

You're jumpy.

[headmt]

Can you blame me? Most people here who surprise me are taking a swing at my face.

[Stepping back. He can? Come into the room if he wants. or if he just wants to chill on the window sill that's fine too.]

[silentscout]

Why? Your face does not look particularly punchable. You can just headbutt them and hurt them more than they hurt you.

[Lalli, imagining Molly's head is like a ram's head. Probably has something to do with the horns.

At the offer, Lalli peeks into the room.]

It's not my dorm?

[That's his way of asking if it's okay for him to go in.]

[headmt]

[He reaches up to tap a horn.]

You know they're attached to my skull, right?

[Stepping aside, motioning out in a come in gesture like you'd use at the front door. Instead of a window.]

Don't see any Dorm Head around to stop me.

[silentscout]

That's the point.

[He sees a lack of Dorm Head here though, so he will climb in through the window. He looks around for a bit before speaking again.]

This looks more normal than Fall dorm.

[headmt]

Kind of plain, yeah?

[But, cozy enough.]

What's Fall like? Haven't been able to finagle my way in yet.

[silentscout]

If you want to come over I can let you in. There's red and leaves everywhere, and the blankets are warm.

[headmt]

Can't say I'm not curious.

[He looks around though, and then sits down on one of the bunk beds.]

It's a roof and a bed though. Hard to complain too much. Better than I get most nights.

[silentscout]

Mmm. It's nice to not be sleeping outside, yes. No risk of rain in here.

[He is. Far too used to it.]

[headmt]

Exactly! No rain, no mud, no kidnappings in the middle of the night.

[Also far too used to it.]

Take it you're a bit of a wanderer too then?

[silentscout]

No. Wanderer implies no destination. I always had a destination.

[headmt]

That so? And where's that destination?

[silentscout]

Into the Silent World to find someone, and then I'm going right back-

[Home.]

-to Saimaa. Maybe Sweden after that.

[headmt]

[Well there's a lot of words there that he doesn't recognize, but from context the last two are obviously just Places. But the Silent World? Ominous. Fancy terminology for a different plane maybe?]

Ah- Silent World?

[silentscout]

Yes.

[The obvious answer. He's not avoiding answering or anything though, it's actually that he doesn't realize Molly is asking him to elaborate.]

[headmt]

[Luckily he's decent enough at reading people to see that it isn't avoidance as much as a very literal response to the question, so,]

Haven't heard of that one. Or Sweden. Sounds-- Well, frankly a little spooky. Another plane or something?

[silentscout]

[plane...]

There's planes sometimes in the Silent World, I guess? They're all crashed and ruined.

But the Silent World is 'spooky', that's where all the Trolls live.
