The area showing signs of bananas despite an absence of the fruit responds, various cues translating into what hits the mind of any sentient being as: "Hello." but written in approximately this font:  It's important to note that no bananas actually appear, just sensory input that is precisely calibrated to generate these mental images in any being capable of receiving sensory input. It's unclear whether this missive is addressed to the orb, the group or quite possibly both. |

Breathlessness reaches out with their mind to the banana like possibility. A gentle caress of the frontal lobe. |

You can now "see" or, more accurately, "visually interpret" smells! You see before you an odd but understandable matrix: This matrix is the language of a sentient being in the room with a faint scent or hint of bananas, that you can now perceive to be in a specific place. It will be easy now for the group to communicate with this strange, yet sentient being! Ventral EggSac posted:most of the monkeys go look at the bananas, two cautiously approach the orb. the robot is still. The monkeys understand quickly that while the presence is not food, it's still interesting enough to garner their attention. The sphere definitely seems to be very chill and relaxed. Dorg: I've seen weirder poo poo, to be honest; but this right here's edgin' up kinda close to the top! A tall, slim figure strides into the room with an air of grace and dignity to every step; no energy is wasted, each move is precisely calculated to garner the most efficient use of every step. Some of you may remember your old companion, Tak- the Mantis-like assassin from the Fort Wunny Adventure... Dorg: "Ay! Dere he is! You got anything good?" Tak hisses and clicks something back to Dorg in his native tongue, and a strange, alien appendage appears beneath a sleeve from the semi-formless cloak/poncho he appears to be wearing. Tak is waving "hello" to the Party! Tak then holds up a large sack, with something squirming inside. "You got one? LIVE?" You're certain that, even though you can't see anything inside the cloaked hood, Tak is not only nodding, but he's smirking, too- in his own way. Dorg: "well I'll be, that's triple pay for the bounty, plus Hazardous Duty pay for going to that particular Plane of Hell- so that's 1,000,000 gold even." Tak seems very pleased; that's more than enough to retire! What does everyone do? |

The two monkeys sit with the banana being and "observe". Three go to the Mantis, one jumps on the moving sack. Three start grooming each other, incorporating the robot |

Llany peeks his head out of his ball form and then waves to his pal Tak and then goes back into ball form - he realized that he's kinda sleepy and it's really comfy and relaxing so he might just be a ball for a while

The strange area being observed by two of the monkeys grows a little stronger in it's production of banana like signs - focusing on them to give them the sensation of having eaten their fill of bananas. It won't do more than temporarily alleviate their hunger but they do get all the flavours of having feasted on ripe fruit. The gesture seems entirely friendly. Its attention focuses mainly though on three other things - Dorg, the strange orb and the assassin bug known as Tak - in that order. Perhaps a lack of physical presence is made up for by the strange alien modes of perception that the entity possesses in spades - as if the entity itself was only a tiny fraction of its true being, a Flatland-esque slice of the whole that represents only what small portion of it is capable of interacting with this reality, at least in this temporal/spatial frame of reference. Or not. The thing is hard to get a read on really. "Nice. Work. You. Don't. Look. Like. The. Retiring. Type. Though." it projects via direct sensory input to the assassin, again displayed within the theater of the mind of all those capable of perceptions of the physical world as words spelled from bananas. (rolled a 20 + a 13 for attempting to perceive whatever it can about Dorg, 15 for the orb and a 14 for Tak, figure the last one is enough to get the sense of determination that the bug isn't likely to retire cause of his ambition to become the greatest assassin in history combined with a short life span - PSP feel free to use Tak for later adventures as an NPC or not as you see fit friend!)

Dorg has a far off look on his face for a moment; then says, to no one in particular- "huh, ain't dat sumpthin'..." and goes back to cleaning up on and behind the bar. The two monkeys that went to investigate the banana-like presence seem satisfied with their investigation and rejoin the main troupe. The orb continues its odd textured appearance, although for a brief moment it turns yellow and smells faintly of bananas, perhaps while communicating with the banana sentience- before reverting back to its color fading. Tak waves at those who greeted him and Breathlessness feels a wave of gratitude for the congratulations. He then says something to Dorg, and quite literally disappears without a trace. Everybody roll!

The doors open as a strange figure enters the tavern. The individual appears to be equipped in black plate mail, with a strange helm that covers their entire head and face. The stranger also wears a long black cloak or cape that streams behind them as the stride in. They sit down at the bar, and order a drink in a strange, artificial voice, preceded and followed by a mechanical sounding breathing. Not long after another figure enters the room, this one is dressed in gray cloth leggings and tunic, with a grayed cape- perhaps at one time they were white but have long since seen the dust and dirt of travel. He looks around the room, taking note of the occupants and spies the black costumed individual seated at the bar. He walks up to the ominous figure, nods and says "Father". The figure motions to the filled glass in front of the empty seat next to him, and the newcomer sits down, where they engage in conversation.  What is everyone doing? |

DM's Note: Dorg's is a tavern that exists on multiple planes of existence at once. Right now, it's existing somewhere in the Star Wars universe, as well as your own home plane. If you were to leave this establishment right now, you may find yourself on Tatooine for example; or Hoth- or Dagobah; it's hard to tell. |

Using the banana matrix I will telepathically suggest the Localized, Sapient Area In Which There Are Signs of Bananas Despite None Being Present get near that table and eavesdrop. Without having looked at character sheets or actual rules I feel like they are the stealthiest of us. Breathlessness will make a point of fussing with a blunt that isn't burning evenly and turn away from the newcomers to let them know I'm preoccupied and definitively not spying on them.

The Localized, Sapient Area In Which There Are Signs of Bananas Despite None Being Present gives a perhaps predictable non-response. However, if it indeed can be said to exist meaningfully, it appears to proceed to do so in approach of aforementioned table. |

A few monkeys try to hide under Darth Vader's cape. The robot is still, tries to imitate the sound of mechanical breathing. A monkey is grooming it. |

Bat definitely seems afraid of the cloaked figure. As if on cue, the black dressed and cloaked figure stands, the odd mechanical breathing the loudest as they arise. He says good bye to the other person he was sitting with, and walks out the door. The other figure looks around the room, stand ups and he too leaves. Dorg walks out from around the bar and nails a poster on the wall, after looking over in the general area of the people currently in the room.

Oh poo poo I came in here to bump this I must not have actually digested the last few posts when I clicked on this, since I didn't remember them. Breathlessness will not their head at the Heather Snapps song, and try to get a closer look at the poster. Do I know anything about the creature illustrated?

(1, 10, 12) ... uh... well surely this won't ripple out through the local time stream and create a series of disasterous events (such as prequels). Probably at least. Anyways... moving on, the LSAIWTASBDNBP heads on over to the poster to examine it using their peculiar senses. The creature on the poster seems somehow familiar, perhaps another aspect of the greater whole that it is part of exists in a similar form somewhere? It tries to get a sense of the being portrayed before politely asking Dorg via emoted banana letters for any information he can provide. |

The creature looks vaguely familiar, but after several moments of thinking upon it you come up with a blank. Dorg: That's a Beholder; name's Charlie. He's an employee of mine, said he was gonna go out for a walk about a month ago, haven't seen him since. I'm worried about the guy; people see someone like him floating around and they start getting ideas about treasure hoards and bounties. I just wanna make sure the guy's alright, ya know? |

Pot Smoke Phoenix posted:Dorg: That's very kind of you; will anyone else be going with you? The space in which signs of bananas mysteriously occur despite none being present indicates their willingness to help with this task by arranging the material landscape so that it creates the impression of a hand made of bananas giving a thumbs up. This works kinda like a magic eye drawing, the images of the fruit in question aren't actually present but the suggestion of it is. The entity also will attempt to ascertain whether any part of its interconnected multidimensional being has seen any signs of Charlie, eager to help out on the quest to find the beholder. |
