001 ACTION - INTRO AND SUCH

[theirondragon]

Who; The Iron Bull & YOU!
What; A 7 and a half foot, muscle-bound giant who somehow still seems to look a little fluffy (he likes to eat, okay) walks into your bar farming town
When; Mid-week, mid-day - Saturday Night (that Saloon prompt)
Where; The Bus stop, exploring the town, the saloon (because food and beer. Shit yeah)
Warnings; Uh, Bull's an unabashed flirt (if you call lude comments 'flirting') and he curses a lot, but otherwise? Nah. Maybe some discussion of ~emotions~ in thread, but nothing of a sensitive nature. If that changes, I'll update.

ARRIVAL - MID-DAY WEDNESDAY

[Even though the Bull had been prepared for the carriage he'd been traveling in to transform into a "bus" at some point, waking up on one of the cramped things that were in no way made for a guy as big as him and getting shuffled off into some of the most pristine hillside he'd seen in a while was still freaky as hell. He didn't have a problem finding the welcome package. He tried and was relatively successful at shrugging off the freaky recorded message, tucked the gold and the "jpad" into his hip back (which was about the size of a human's backpack), and slung a massive battleaxe into the harness strapped to his back before he unfolded the map that was left to him.

At 7 and a half feet with massive horns and enormous shoulders, the Qunari cast a pretty impressive shadow. If somebody does wander by, though, he'll flash them a jovial smile. He's a nice guy.

He's just big.

Really really big.]

SALOON - SATURDAY NIGHT

[It had actually been a pretty damned productive and theraputic few days. He'd tilled his field, cleared tons of wood and debris, he'd stopped in at the saloon for meals at night. It was...good. Simple. He got up at dawn, he watered his crops and cleared invasive plants, he picked another area of the map to explore, he stopped for dinner at Gus' Saloon, and he went home to bed. Rinse and repeat. It was just the sort of routine the Qunari needed after being named Tal-Vashoth.

Tonight, though, he decided it was time to actually spend time at this bar, try Gus' beer, see if he could talk somebody into playing a game of darts with him or...whatever those other games were over in the corner. He was feeling social, and in much better spirits than he'd been in a while.

He's hard to miss in any of the locations, and stands out the saloon as well, with his massive frame and brought shoulders and horns, and if it's not that, its his boisterous laugh at someone's joke...or his own. You know, he's self-sufficient like that. Throughout the night, he'll be asking people if they want to play a game or two, maybe teach him how to play pool...he's a people person, so whatever scratches your itch.]

WILDCARD

[OOC: Bull will be systematically exploring the town over the next several days to get a lay of the land, and he can be encountered literally wherever you'd like to encounter him! Go ahead and start something, or we can talk something out on plurk, just shoot me a message vikael]

ARRIVAL

[its_dad_sanzo]

[ Koumyou encounters him somewhere not far from the bus stop, and the high priest reacts... well. ]

Woooooah!

[ Shielding his eyes from the sun with both hands, the 5'10" human looks up and up and up. ]

You're so big!

[standingonmyneck]

[Very Big meet Very Small. There was a small and petite young woman at 5’2” out by the benches, carrying a new series of books that she stuck her nose in. She always minded her own damn business, that was true today too.

Although...she did notice it got very dark all of the sudden. A large shadow loomed over her book as she was reading, and it was the perfect distraction to make her look up and around. You know, just to make sure she wasn’t about to step into the pit of death. That would be a new occurrence.

Needless to say, she knew not to stare. Daria had to be smart about that, especially with people who could crush her with a pinky finger. Or slice her in half with an axe. Better not be rude, maybe. Small wave.]

[shotinhead]

[ Now, the Courier had seen all sorts. And from what they'd seen, if somebody wasn't a human? They tended to judge their rough scars less. They tended to... stare less at their blind eye, their limp. (They couldn't help but limp right now, after their last visit to the mountains.) And so, the short-ish Courier made their way over to this massive creature. Slipping in swiftly next to The Iron Bull, Courier gave a little tilt of their head. ]

...glad this place is built f'giants?

[ They've got a small smile on their lips, trying to be friendly. Even if that is clearly a failed speech check. Like usual, Perrin has slipped on some casual clothes. Trying to get used to this. ]

Saloon

[peltiferous]

[ It isn’t until much later that Cassandra has left her farm herself and sought out sustanance that she enters the bar. Still not much for bar food or even the interactions, realy, she’s only coming here until she’s more self sufficient.

Cassie’s not much of a cook either.

She ambles in, tired, and takes survey of the patrons. A new havit, since Cullen had left.

All the regulars, Bull, right. Looked like home so far——Bull?

Wait a second. She cautiously approaches, yet, with calm and slightly happier tone than normal. Forgive her, she might be happy to see familiarity. ]

And here I thought perhaps I was too much to fit on their so called bus.

arrival

[sheepdad]

[ Belias tended to nap near the bus stop. He could blend in, seem like he was part of the enviroment - far easier then moving into their farm. It was the fate of one tied to the Stone. Who still wore their Auracite around their neck, the stone that kept them alive.

(It felt dull. Just what was he?)

That is, unless the one who left the bus made them curious. Standing to their full height, Belias approached the newcomer. Looking to the axe. Their face was hidden under the mask, but Belias sounded impressed. ]

...Welcome.

[ The welcome was firm, sounding more like a growl then spoken word. ]

[unwilling_hero]

[Late afternoon to dusk is one of the better times to go jogging if you ask Saeko. This time, she's picked one of the wooded areas of the valley, a pair of pokemon nearby, another up in the trees and little more than flashes of white leaping from branch to branch.

She'd like to think she's gotten somewhat used to life here, but then something like this happens and she halts in her tracks.

Don't mind the positively tiny, 5'1 14-year-old staring.] Are you an alien?

arrival

[petitepontif]

[It's a quiet day for Alec. Abel takes care of the farm mostly, insists that the young pope spend his time studying. And he does! He just doesn't want to do it all the time and it's a nice enough day out that, with more breathable clothes than his robes, he ventures out.

With a parasol overhead so he doesn't burn too easily. So, at first, he doesn't quite spot Bull. When he does though, and looks uuuuuup at him, the teen lets out a squeak and falls back on his rear.]

Saloon

[stormcalling]

[ If there's one place that's almost like home in same way she counts it as the saloon. When Valamia comes in she tilts her head slightly to make sure she doesn't hit or get caught in the door frame. She was going to go sit in her normal spot at the bar but Bull catches her attention before she crosses over it.

Wow his horns. If she wasn't confident in her horns she might be jealous. She tries to run some scenario in her head where she knows what's she's doing. She isn't exactly the theorizing type so she quickly makes up her mind to stroll up to him with a faint smile. ]

Here I was worried I'd be the only person who had to duck around here.

WILDCARD

[whitescalesbigmouth]

["Violet" is currently distracted pushing a wheelbarrow full of mushrooms that have sprouted up all over her yard. One would normally stop after a while and maybe grow something else, Especially considering how ugly they are...and sometimes even she has to admit they unnerve her somewhat but according to some of the residents around here, Mushrooms can actually be very useful and people like to use them in some of their recipes so it's time to try and sell them.

Unfortunatley her wheelbarrow doesn't want to play ball and suddenly after a loud crack the wheel snaps off and mushrooms are scattered all over the place.]

Wha-?! Oh no... nononono! Come on! Really!?

around

[powerhittou]

[Masamune's kind of used to being around taller people. Not that he's short or anything!! The shorter side of average, maybe, but he also goes to a school with a lot of freakishly huge students and staff alike, that's all! But even at that he does have to stop and stare when he catches this enormous newcomer strolling through town.

Whoa... Him big.

At first he wonders if someone's trained their bull to walk on two legs, but then he catches the SWEET-ASS WEAPON on his back and then there goes that theory. The horns, though?! There's something about the way they curve, like a crescent moon... Masamune really digs that look.

But most importantly:]

Yo, cool eyepatch!

Saloon

[readypunch]

[Loud laughter catches her attention, and- well, Iron Bull doesn't look a whole lot like Moenbryda, but Yda can't help being reminded a little of her friend all the same. She doesn't know what he is, but he looks interesting, so she makes her way over- grinning up at the Qunari.]

Hey! You look like you're having a good time here. Care to share?
