"Excuse me!"

Permalink

Quiet murmurs.

Silence.

More murmurs.

"Who are you?" a metal head shouts.

Permalink

"My name is Select Blai Artigas."

Permalink

"And what do you want?"

Permalink

"Peace or the certainty that it cannot be had."

Permalink

Laughter. "Get a load of this! A human learned a whole new language just to come beg for mercy! Oh, soft little snack, come here and talk with us!"

Permalink

"I can hear you fine from here."

Permalink

"Oh, look, the squishy prey is scared of us! Well, answer us from over there, then! What'll you trade for peace?"

Permalink

"I'm not from here. I'm from a planet called Golarion and don't have very much of my own. I read in a book that you wanted the Precursor stone, and I don't have that."

Permalink

More murmuring. A lot of voices join in the murmuring this time as more metal heads gather nearby.

"Do come down here! I won't eat you!"

"I won't eat you either!"

"I won't eat you today while we're talking unless you really offend me!"

 

"z̵̧̡̗͚͐́͘͠v̵̡͓̼͎͑̒͌̀͗͑̒́͠r̴̼̠̗̼͔̈̔̾̇̕͜͝u̷̢͗͗̾̽̔̾̚͝͝k̶̬̹͓̽̕h̴͔͔̼̱̼̉́̏̆́, couldn't you say something a little less - that - "

"I'm being precise!"

Permalink

"If I had a squadron of allies behind me, who could decide what to do tomorrow if you broke parley today, I'd do that. I'm alone, and I can hear you from here."

Permalink

"Stay there, then!"

Murmurs. Metal noises.

"How did you get here?"

Permalink

"Mostly walking."

Permalink

"From another planet?"

Permalink

"Walking took up the majority of my transit time but admittedly not the majority of the distance. I don't know how the interplanetary teleportation part worked."

Permalink

"Are you stuck?" a new metal head voice calls out. This one hasn't already spoken. "We're stranded here too."

Permalink

"Yes, I'm stuck."

Permalink

"If you're a kind of creature that likes talking to people, maybe you can live with us! Maybe we can help you make part of the planet comfortable!"

Permalink

"Being comfortable is not my priority."

Permalink

"What do you want, then?"

Permalink

"Peace."

Permalink

"Nobody's attacking you! You have that already!"

Permalink

"- I'm speaking this language by magic and don't know all of its connotations, but when I say I want peace what I mean is that I want there to not exist a state of war, not that I want the ability to personally abstain from it."

Permalink

There are assorted jeers and insults.

Permalink

Wow, it's like they don't know that that's an objectively unimportant thing to do.
