Testing Humanity (1x1) [Telios and SaphireTsuki)

[Telios]

(k.)

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"Humanity, Mr. Jones?" Selena asked, ready to take notes.


"Yes, specifically how our kind and theirs met, and how life changed for us after that."

 

[Telios]

Telas smiled and grabbed his pencil, ready to take notes.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"As many of you know our kind was once nomadic, living mostly in tribes. One day the humans arrived on our planet. Does anyone know what they started to do?" He looked around, Selena looking down slightly sadly.

 

[Telios]

Telas was a bit sad by this part since he is a human himself. He lowered his head so he wouldn't be seen.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"No one knows? Or are you all hiding your faces in sadness?" A smile crossed his face, he stretched slightly. "that's right, they formed a colony, built prisons, and put our kind in them. That's not the worst, I'm sure, but it's all we know. Luckily it wasn't all bad, there were a few good humans. One of them was taken in by a certain tribe." He paused for any knowledge they held to be presented at this time.

 

[Telios]

"Then he accepted to be changed into a Roronian named Markus... He suggested the tribe chief to make peace and it succeeded..." Telas mumbled to himself as he remembered it all. The event happened not too long ago so it's easy to remember.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

A smile, Mr. Jones had heard him. "Then the human became one of us, and the tribe made peace with the humans. That was the true beginning of our Roronian Empire, because all the other tribes began to take their orders from this one tribe, known as the royal line now." Selena squirmed, just slightly, not looking up at them, but otherwise didn't react to the mention of the royal line.

 

[Telios]

Telas started to take notes as he listened to the doctor.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"Does anyone know how many Earth Cycles it's been since the formation of the Empire?"


((Just make up a number. I don't care how long, but I need to know to make up stuff for the history.))

 

[Telios]

"It's only 50 years since the formation... Sir Markus is still alive with Madam Maple..." Telas answered quietly, mostly for himself.


(My character Markus fell in love with this character: Maple but only as normal civilians. We can change that and Mape is also a changed Roronian, being a human before the ritual.)

 

[SaphireTsuki]

(I said the tribe was the royal line, not necessarily your characters. I was thinking about the Chief's family.)


"Right. Now, in fifty years we have gone from a mostly-nomadic tribe to one of the most powerful, sentient species in the Galaxy." Jones took out what looked like a giant projector. "This is due, in part, to our connection with the technologically strong Humanity, but our kindness doubled as an accelerator for our position. In ten years we had gathered technology from some of the other species' and earned our place among the sentient species. Does anyone know how?"

 

[Telios]

(Markus was adopted as a part of the chief's family. And he was the one who suggested the idea of making peace with the human as he was one. )


"...How..." Telas mumbled to himself, thinking.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

((Oh, ok. Well, however you want to do it. I was just thinking it would have made sense.))


"Simple, we saved an almost-extinct race. There was one, the Moonkind, who were known for blue hair and eyes, about to die out because they couldn't live on their moon anymore. We took the humans' terraforming technology, learned what they needed to live, and altered our own moon to give them a new homeworld. Doing this placed them in our debt, and they taught our people all we needed for interstellar flight."

 

[Telios]

"Interesting..." Telas mumbled as he took notes. I wanna see the Moonkind someday... He thought to himself.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

((I want to add that this is actually a self-made race, though known by a different name, and with a bit more... stuff added on.))


"And that, sadly, is all for today." HE said, right as the bell rang. "I'll see you Thursday, my students."

 

[Telios]

Telas grabbed his belongings and packed up before starting to walk outside and wait for Selena.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Selena, for her part, struggled to get out of the class before Mr. Jones could catch her, and barely managed it, grabbing Telas' hand and rushing down the hall towards the stairs. "Don't ask, just run."

 

[Telios]

Telas jumped when Selena grabbed his hand and ran, almost making him fell but he quickly caught up and ran with her. He was going to ask what Selena is doing but he kept quiet.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

In the background Mr Jones tried to call her, but they had reached the stairs by then, and she continued up to the next floor before stopping and breathing heavily. "S-sorry, he always tries to catch me after c-class."

 

[Telios]

Telas nodded, panting with his hands on his knees.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

Selena smiled, waiting for him to catch his breath before moving forward again. "We can hang out for a few hours before our next class."

 

[Telios]

"A few hours?" Telas asked, not used to this.

 

[SaphireTsuki]

"Yup, our schedule is... spread out. We've got three hours until our next class, and then the whole day off."

 

[Telios]

"Two classes per day? Well, I have no problems about that." Telas said with a smile.
