Social Standing 5-6Making Alliances
A series of RP's on the same basic things where Vik works on alliances and the likes with Skyrah, or tries to ease tension during meetings, though despite it not doing much good, could have earned her a bonus point or two...maybe....old logs, the first bit is a little quick because of needing to rush back to another meeting!
[2015/08/20 17:52:57] /me Viveka felt a little bit rushed at the moment because of this that and the other, but she made her way up to Valkyrie's home to have a little talk with her about things and stuff and stuff and things, meanwhile knowing she was being waited on as well, so she knew she had to make this quick. She strode up to the door and knocked on it lightly and patiently waited to be let in. At least she appeared to be patiently waiting.
[2015/08/20 17:55:08] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me nods. "I understand. When I had my wings ripped out it was the most horrendous thing. But, just keep yourself protected and that sort of thing won't happen." She'd offer him a slight smile. "Of course." Upon the knock at the door, she headed over to the door to open, and smield to viv upon seeing her. "Hi there, Viveka. What can I do for you?"
[2015/08/20 17:56:27] /me Viveka offered a pleasant enough smile at Valkyrie even if she did feel like an errand girl right now, though she had volunteered for this. "I wished to speak with you in private really fast, if it is not too much trouble. About some things we discussed before?"
[2015/08/20 17:57:24] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me he nodded slightly, "I will." he said softly, he had to keep himself protected there was a lot he had left to do. as he moved slightly letting her get up and he watched her move to the door, a haze had taken over what rain poored down and he seemed to relax back against the couch watching the lady. An he tilte dhis head to the side slightly...
[2015/08/20 17:58:01] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me remembered well what was spoken about before and would nod. "Of course. Would you like to come inside?"
[2015/08/20 17:59:37] /me Viveka nodded her head and prepared to enter, assuming Valk stepped further in as well when she did. She would glance to see that there was another in there, though she'd heard the voice a moment earlier, it hadn't fully registered. She looked back to Valk. "Uhm, is it too much trouble for it to be just us?"
[2015/08/20 18:01:49] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me would nod. "Sure. That might be best." She'd look into the house and to Vincent. "I hate to ask you this, but can you leave for a bit? Viveka and I need to talk about something rather important. This will be quick, I promise."
[2015/08/20 18:01:53] Mein Ho (ghostofishtar): is online.
[2015/08/20 18:02:00] Raptus (krath): is online.
[2015/08/20 18:03:01] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me blinked a bit and tilted his head to the side, he blinked slightly as he nodded, "Would you like me to leave hermes?" he asked as he stood up compiling his work and setting it in the book he had brought home, the bird was in his normal roost on one of the hanging candle holders he had converted into a nest... and he seemed ready to leave trying to compose himself.... as he started for the door...
[2015/08/20 18:03:41] Leana (halie.carnell): is offline.
[2015/08/20 18:04:32] /me Viveka would step back and off to the side and wait for the two to do what they needed to do before she would start talking
[2015/08/20 18:05:34] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me shook her head. "This has to be completely private. It's not that I don't trust Hermes, but I just want this to be a conversation between Viveka and I."
[2015/08/20 18:06:41] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me he would... inquire later as he nodded and would look to the bird and give a soft whistle, as he came down and sttled upon vincents shoulder looking confused as he passed by....
[2015/08/20 18:07:58] /me Viveka ws eternally grateful that Valkyrie understood the importance of what she had to say, especially considering circumstances and what not. She would smile and nod as Vincent and Hermes left and then look back to Valkyrie. "I had the conversation as I had planned to. I come with a message."
[2015/08/20 18:09:21] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me would nod to Vincent once he left the house and hurried inside, shutting the doors behind them. "Ah excellent. What is the message?" she'd ask.
[2015/08/20 18:11:41] /me Viveka clasped her hands in front of her, actually being happy that some of what she had to say, she felt good about. "After a long conversation, I have faith that the alpha does not mean to cause any more trouble. In fact, between you and I, I believe that she is regretful for what has happened. Rage can be overwhelming to a wolf with a pack mind and she did not believe any had died in the fire that took Warden's Keep, though I have heard otherwise. That certainly changed her tune about it. However, she wishes for me to act as a liaison between you and herself since we have a history and I trust you, plus you know my secret. She wishes to remain neutral with the city and just wishes for the forest to be respected and left in peace. I have to meet with her shortly, but she was hoping that she could meet with you this evening, after her other meeting, and speak with you."
[2015/08/20 18:19:15] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me grew silent and listened as Viv began to speak, and as she did, she was rather pleased by what she had to hear. Actually, rather surprised. "Wow...to be honest I was not expecting that," she'd say. "Of course i can speak with her. I wish to get his mess figured out and settled."
[2015/08/20 18:21:35] /me Viveka nodded with a smile, happy as well because she was growing to respect the alpha more and did not wish to have to choose if it ever came to it. "I will let her know then. I assume you would wish to have a guard with you, which is fine. The both of us will be disguised so I simply ask that you not refer to me as Viveka. I have to be careful with what I am, of course. I will go by WIllow. And if your guard...friend...whatever he is is the one that is with you, could you possibly make it sound as though another came to visit after I had? I have employees who speak quite hatefully of wolves. I would rather not have to worry about the guards getting a little antsy as well."
[2015/08/20 18:26:15] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me smiled softy and would nod. "If it better establishes trust, I can come alone," she'd say. Honestly she would much more prefer it that way. "And of course. I'll make sure he thinks that I am talking about someone else. "
[2015/08/20 18:28:05] /me Viveka nodded her head. "Whatever suits you. You will be safe either way barring some strange event happening, like a random outside attack. And I appreciate that you understand that secrecy is now a rule among us now. Much as I do not like it. But I must return to her now, we will return as soon as possible."
[2015/08/20 18:30:08] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me nods. "Absolutely. I have no reason to tell others that you are what you are anyway. I shall see you both soon," she'd say.
______At the den.....
[2015/08/20 18:33:26] /me Calix kept his eyes trained on the Alpha, shaking his head slightly. As Naia spoke, he nodded.. he had little left to add. He was not comfortable... but he was not afraid.
[2015/08/20 18:37:04] /me Viveka made her way down the hill after having rushed off to another meeting and having to make her way back quickly and seeing she was already late for it. She let out a huff as she came to a stop a safe distance behind the alpha, watching from behind her hair covered eye. If Skyrah were to look at her, she'd give a nod as if saying plans for another meeting was set. Otherwise, she just kept quiet and watched, fidgeting a little from being so covered up.
[2015/08/20 18:39:43] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods her head "Fare enough for me" she then looks back to Donny, nodding her head before he goes and offers the four of them a bandanna to cover there eyes. "Just take those, I will have Donny here escorting you both from the back so no harm comes to you. The pack knows you are welcomed guest." With that she would head for the den entrance but stopped as she smelt a familiar scent a smile forming on her place as she saw the nod, oh goodie two meetings in one day. Getting business done with yep. "Sister please follow and help the Mer Queen and her people into the den with no harm to come to them. We are headed for the cave." Once they were close enough she start walking in "if your good enough to follow my footsteps that be great. if not my Sister will help guide you along."
[2015/08/20 18:43:18] /me Naia glances to the side when another figure arrives, and her white eyes follow Viveka's movements until Donny offers the bandana. She takes the cloth, glances to Calix with a nod and then wraps the strip of fabric around her head, leaving her as good as blind. Three and Six follow suit because they always do as they're told. "Aid would be welcome. Zis getup Calix makes me wear is heavy."
[2015/08/20 18:46:28] /me Calix eyed the new stranger, and her hooded face she would remain that way. Wolves and their cloaks. As the Alpha spoke he squinted but nodded to her words. He didn't want to be blindfolded but here he was. As Naia called for aid he put a hand on her lower back and continued forward in the wolfy fishy train going in deep.
[2015/08/20 18:46:34] Marissa Ellison (jafar.tarantal): is online.
[2015/08/20 18:47:29] /me Viveka snorted in laughter a little. "I feel your pain," she would say, her accent not nearly as noticeable and sounding rather mixed rather than Arabic and a slightly higher pitch than normal. "I believe I am going to suffocate!" They could be bitching buddies! She would approach and reach for Naia's arm, if she allowed it, and warning her as she was doing it that she was about to so the woman wouldn't have reason to get panicky, or at least not as much. She was a good little guide and would warn of any step ups or downs or anything in between!
[2015/08/20 18:55:42] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me walked through the den motioning for two female guards to follow her in the cave. She stepped up and walked through the water thinking the mers wouldn't have a problem with that. As they were all in the room she motioned for the rest of the pack to leave before she went to sit in the throne. 'Oh shit' was all she thought when she remembered about the throne, ah well...The two female guards came to stand on either side of Sophia and the Alpha motioned Viveka closer "you can now take off your blind folds."
[2015/08/20 18:59:03] /me Naia oohs to herself when they walk through water. Good to know. Three and Six bump into each other often, but what do you expect of glamoured fish? Once given permission, Naia reaches up to remove the blindfold and begins surveying the room. Of course she stops on the throne. Arms fold over her chest, the Siren's stance loud and clear. Not that she really cares because Mer don't need chairs underwater, but still... That useless piece of furniture belonged to her people. "Nice throne," Naia remarks with a musical note of sarcasm.
[2015/08/20 19:00:40] /me Calix tripped and broke his face open. Viveka worse guide ever. As they were instructed to take the blindfolds off, Calix grabbed his and chucked it to the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ ground] . As he looked around, his eyes settled on the throne where the Alpha sat, curiously. As Naia remarked on it as well he crossed his own arms. "They invite us in, to show us...their new sit pretty." he said, eyes directing up to the Alpha now, his electroluminescent fins shook slightly as he stood closer to Naia.
[2015/08/20 19:03:10] /me Viveka only cared if the queen got through safe! Calix was totes on his own! She approached the alpha as she was gestured to do and then looks to the throne that they were both commenting on, and then back to them. Clearly she'd missed something, but she supposed that happened when she spent so much time in the other den. If her ears could have been seen, one would be twitching right about now. She had no comment on it, so she just stood there and.....well...not looked pretty since she was masked....
[2015/08/20 19:06:02] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me chuckled softly "thank you its quite comfy" a smirk was held behind the mask before continuing with why she called them here. "For what you did to one of my pack mates you and your people are the packs enemy, with that said I have some boundaries to be put out for your mers unless you want them flayed that is." There was a sparkle in her eye as she spoke that, brushing her pant legs as she leans against one of the sides of the chair.
[2015/08/20 19:12:50] /me Naia arches a brow when Sophia brings up the Sky incident. She smooths the palms of her hands along chainmail and focuses her white eyes on the Alpha. "Sky did tell you zat she attacked us first, ja? She killed a frog, a creature under Merfolk protection, and did not back off or identify herself when we defended ourselves." Her head tilts, and Naia reaches up to pull down her mask, revealing the fanged smile. "She got what she deserved for taking an innocent life for no reason. And, from zee little moans she made, I zink she enjoyed it as well. But please... do tell me what we Merfolk must do after one of your Shifters assaulted my domain."
[2015/08/20 19:16:37] /me Calix blinked. As Naia spoke... he nodded. "Think she would have laid with the three of us if we fed much longer." he snickered, having to say something, they stole their chair...not that they wanted it. "Aye yes...please..enlighten.." he said eyes travelling from the alpha and then to the masked woman. So much mask!
[2015/08/20 19:19:00] /me Viveka would show her pretty face but then orgies might ensue! Or something... She admittedly was a touch worried about where this conversation could go considering the topic at hand. Poor little froggie. She had something she could have added in, but this was the alphas business, so she still kept quiet, looking between the group, to each one that was speaking as they were speaking.
[2015/08/20 19:24:13] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me was trying so hard to keep her cool, though her wolf really wanted to rip there necks out right there and then and mount there heads and tails on a wall. "Yes she told me exactly what happened, I think what you all did was a bit extreme for killing a mere frog." Shrugging her shoulders before she stood up at the words Naia and Calix spoke, her eyes seemed to try to be changing but she really tried hard to keep that magic going "never speak of one of my pack mates like that while you are in MY home" she growled out. "Let me just go over this, the forest is ours, the Singartis. Show any malice or endangerment to my wolves the mer that did will have there head mounted on my wall. There shall be no reason for you fish folks to be in the forest and in trade we will keep away from your sweet ocean."
[2015/08/20 19:38:22] /me "Let us kill a mere pup in your forest and see if you feel our retaliation was extreme, hmm?" Naia's eyes narrow, completely focused on Sophia. "Every frog, seahorse and fish is sacred to Merfolk. I will grant landers cannot understand zat because everyzing is beneaz zem zat does not stroke zeir inflated vanity. But let me remind you, Alpha of zee Singarti, we all fall to the call of zee moon when she is full. Next time we overzealous Mer might rally behind zose you target. 'Tis a shame. We were most effective in making zee Wardens pay." Naia lifts a hand, but it is directed at Calix to keep the aggressive Triton silent. "We will keep from your forest. And as a kindness, I will warn you now to keep your wolves in zis den in two nights time. If you choose to disregard zis warning, I am not responsible for what may happen. Divine justice cannot be stopped." The Idani takes her blindfold and wraps it around her head again, and Three and Six immediately follow suit. "We are ready to leave."
[2015/08/20 19:42:00] /me Calix was going to say something. Was going to say a lot...but Naia spoke up and well, painted everything clearly. He quite literally had nothing he could have added that would have made any more point than what Naia did. He simply reached down to grab his own blindfold and tied it back. Hand to Naia's waist as he was signaling being ready as well.
[2015/08/20 19:43:40] /me Viveka glanced to Skyrah and just had a feeling the woman's temper was flaring before she even saw her eyes. She would step towards her, reaching out a hand to place it on her shoulder and give a comforting squeeze. When she spoke, her voice was even and steady, keeping a calm tone and her temper not flaring in the least. She was trying to be the calm voice of reason.. "If I may be allowed to say so, but consider those who fish, or hunt, in order to feed themselves. Nature has a balance. A circle that must be maintained. One hunts or fishes to feed themselves, and when they are returned to the earth, they in turn feed the animals. While I believe that all life is sacred, and that all things that live should be respected, one must be realistic as well. It is not as though she harmed one of your mer. Neither of our kinds should be lashing out to such extremes despite one of the animals we protect or hold sacred being harmed. It will simply chain into more chaos and destruction, with further loss of life,
[2015/08/20 19:43:41] /me Viveka: potentially until nothing remains." She paused to listen as the queen spoke, somewhat surprised that there wasn't more lashing out than that. When they would turn to leave, she would bow her head to them.
[2015/08/20 19:48:57] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me felt that squeeze to her shoulder from the calmer and reasonable wolf, was one reason why she was here and also being trained to be in the council. "If that is what you choose then I hope you prey to your gods for the next full moon. As of whatever is happening in two days, if you attack one of mine I promise there will be retaliation and it will be bloody." A growl escaped her lips. She heard Viveka's words and just nodded to her then to the two female guards "get the fish out of my sight." She then went to sit down on the throne and let out a sigh as she rubbed her forehead as she reeled her wolf in.
[2015/08/20 19:53:00] /me Naia: me turns to face the way out, but turns her head to 'look' over her shoulder. "Give Sky my best. She is welcome to zee shore anytime. I know she enjoys music." While Viveka is rational and attempts at mediation, the Alpha has already set the tone, and the vain Siren only follows suit. As she is escorted out, passing the water, Naia holds her hands out with the palms down, and pillars of water dance up to caress her hands as she walks, falling back into place when she passes.
_______Back with Valk......
[2015/08/20 20:01:32] /me Viveka stepped ahead of Skyrah, partly to make sure that Valkyrie was alone this time. Two masked people approaching would surely be difficult to get him to leave her side. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, knowing that the alpha had gotten a bit riled up. She had to hope the walk to the city was enough to mellow her out again. A hand would lift and knock on the door while she glanced back to make sure no one was lurking about. Secrecy is surious stuff yo
[2015/08/20 20:06:08] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me cleaned around the house after Harlow ahd left, though hearing the knock she wandered over to open it. From the attire, she assumed that this was Viv, and would gesture for her to come inside. "Hurry before Vincent sees you guys," sh'ed say."
[2015/08/20 20:09:48] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me had calmed down a bit from the meeting with the mer queen, she was very frustrated with the situation. She hoped this meeting went better then the last one. As they were told to come in the Alpha walked in after Viveka and looked around the area before looking to the woman. "Greetings Valkyrie, Lady of Aberwyth, I am Sophia, the Alpha of the Singarti." She made sure she had everything still covered and her cantrips still hiding her real hair and eye color
[2015/08/20 20:13:07] /me Viveka turned and stepped aside, waiting for Skyrah to pass before following her in. That almost made her feel like she was spying for a king again! It kind of made her blood pump just a little. Sometimes she missed those days. She was even about to introduce her to Valkyrie, but she was beaten to the chase. She couldn't help but snort a little at the thought of Vincent. She had a few sarcastic comments rolling through her mind since she'd found out he got a bonus for 'facing' a dragon, which basically meant standing there and not wetting himself with others stood between him and the dragon and someone else dealt with the dragon's minion. But she didn't want to set the meeting off on a bad tone seeing as she was guessing there was a bit more than guarding going on between them. Plus she respected Valkyrie enough to keep her mouth shut.
[2015/08/20 20:14:38] Viveka (themis.adasia): with others = while others* and afk one sec!))
[2015/08/20 20:17:20] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me watched for the other to pass through and shut the door, making sure to lock it before clasping her hands behind her and looking to the two. Once the alpha was before her, she'd bow her head in respect to the woman, listening to her introduction. "Pleasure to meet you," she would say with a smile. "Now...I understand that you wish to remain neutral with Aberwyth?" she'd ask. "Would you mind telling me what exactly transpired that night with the Keep?" Her tone wasn't scolding or judgmental, but more trying to understand more than anything.
[2015/08/20 20:21:14] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods her head "yes Id like to have no issues with Aberwyth but the Wardens are our enemy. That night we were retaliating against them after they killed one of my pack mates and almost nearly killed another. We were just showing the Wardens that we are no doorstep to them. Many people thought that before I stepped up as Alpha, I want my pack to be strong and not walked over by people like the wardens." She didnt mention anything about the mers for they were not really important in the subject at least night right now.
[2015/08/20 20:22:33] /me Viveka kept back and just listened until she might be needed or might need to speak up again.
[2015/08/20 20:29:16] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me nods and furrowed her brow. "I"ve been trying to find the Harbinger to speak with her as well, but she fails to be in sight." She'd place her hands upon her hips. "While I understand completely of your plight, your actions cost the lives of a few innocent bystanders within the keep, and this is where I must step in and put a stop to it before it gets any worse." She'd sigh softly and shook her head. "While Aberwyth is remaining neutral in this disagreement, I will see to it that an agreement is decided upon to keep the Wardens from harming anyone of your pack, and vice versa." She'd then cross her arms over her chest. "What exactly have the Wardens done to your pack so that I can bring this up tot he Harbinger when I see her."
[2015/08/20 20:37:48] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods her head "I had no clue there was lives that were loss, that was not the meaning of why it was done but I did not think before I acted truly. Especially on a night of the full moon. But there will be no more fires. It is done with and over, I am just keeping an eye on the wardens for I feel there something off about this new harbringer I have my eyes and ears everywhere." As the woman spoke again she nodded her head "I can agree to an agreement but if they act hostile at all well I will not let my pack get walked over in anyway. Well the first full moon the killed on of my pack mates, I was there, I watch it and they nearly killed me. Luckily another packmate got me out of there or I would be dead also. I do not trust them at all, and I will tell you to also be careful with them now that they are in your villages back yard."
[2015/08/20 20:41:21] /me Viveka furrowed her brows behind her hair covering the parts of her face not covered by the mask. She paid special note to what Skyrah was saying, in particular, that she had said it happened to her. Luckily no one seemed to know the names of the pack that were killed or injured on that night. Now she was just going to have to make sure no one else had heard a name. "I have dealt with the Harbinger myself with the issue with the dragon. When I had found the ring that the dragon was looking for, she was suspiciously eager for me to hand the ring over to her. I did not see problem with her before that, but after that day.....I became leery."
[2015/08/20 20:47:44] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me would nod. "Now...I am tolerant and understanding of the different races out there and what affects them. The full moon, for instance, is one of those things that I tend to look over unless it directly affects this village...so believe me when i say that you will not be scorned for something that cannot be easily controlled." She frowned some. "I am rather not pleased that they decided to build the new keep near my village. And I am glad that you agree to an agreement. I will find a way to gather you and the Harbinger together for a meeting to discuss this agreement." Her gaze flickered over to 'Willow'. "I do not trust the wardens myself. Groups that claim they're doing something for the good of all people can be easily corrupted...and in this instance it seems to be that way. Did you give her the ring?"
[2015/08/20 21:01:02] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods as she runs her hand in the ends of her hair "with that being said the month of september there was be a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse, during the solar eclipse I unsure how we will be effected but the lunar" she sighs and shakes her head "they like to call it the blood moon, its a very dangerous night. no one is safe. friends do not seem like friends to those that are effected by the moon. We will have no humanity at all, even the elders of our group, such as I, we will have no control. Its a scary night and sometimes I wish I could lock us all up in a room that night but... that would not be wise. So I ask that you give your people the warning of this, for I would hate to see innocents harmed." She always hated this time of year and usually tried to keep to herself or go off but now she has a pack she had to take care of. "Also I just met with the mer queen before I came here, we do not see eye to eye but I wanted to warn you that something is happening in two days.... I do not know what but
[2015/08/20 21:01:02] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): she warned me to keep my wolves in the den she said these words 'I will warn you now to keep your wolves in the den in two nights time, if you choose to disregard this warning I am not responsible for what may happen. Divine just cannot be stopped'. Do you know anything about this?" As a meeting was spoken she nods "please let me know ahead of time, I will most likely come has my spirit wolf for I do not trust the harbringer to see this form of mine. I can talk as my spirit wolf but I can not attack. I do ask that we have it in neutral territory such as here if thats alright with you?" Her attention then goes to Viveka as she waits to hear what the woman says to the question.
[2015/08/20 21:04:07] /me Viveka would wait for Skyrah to continue speaking before she closed her eyes, though they were difficult to see with the hair in her face, and shook her head to Valkyrie's question. "I had already decided that I was keeping it for myself as the barkeep Chione had already accidentally lost it after we had searched for several days to figure out who had it from what my vision had shown us. But for a moment I considered handing it over since they are a force larger than myself. One of her minions had silver on them, I had already warned the pack to not come on that evening that the exchange was originally to happen. But once Abassi kept insisting, even to the point she was agitated that I did not hand it over, I made an agreement to meet with them prior to the exchange. Turns out that did not even happen seeing as they were recovering from a burned down keep. Perhaps it is for the best that I did not have to deal with them. Though that incident, and the demon attack, has made me far too known to them as a wh
[2015/08/20 21:04:08] /me Viveka: than I am comfortable with. I am the one that returned it to one of the dragon's henchmen after I used a spell to be satisfied that they would not return to harm the island. At least unless someone stole it and brought it back here."
[2015/08/20 21:14:53] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me would nod, satisfied with that answer. "Good...and all seems well so far, so we have nothing to worry about on that." As 'Sophie' spoke on, she furrowed her brow and listened intently. She remembered the blood moon well, and didn't want to have to go through that carnage again. When she mentioned the mer queen, Valk's brow rose and she shook her head. "I do not know anything about this...but if it is a warning, I will make sure to alert the captain to keep all guards on watch...As for the meeting, I shall send word for when the meeting will take place once I get in touch with the Harbinger."
[2015/08/20 21:19:37] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods her head and holds out her hand "thank you for meeting with me Lady Valkyrie, I will watch for the message you send. Stay safe with the nights that come and if you are in need of help from the wolves I am more then willing to help, especially against the mers. We will be patrolling the forest area but we could come more into the village if need be." If her hand was taken she give it the hand a firm grip and shake before letting go.
[2015/08/20 21:20:20] /me Viveka had said her peace and went back to being quiet and in the background, letting the two finish their business.
[2015/08/20 21:24:27] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me extended her hand out as Sophie did hers and returned a nice firm handshake. "Of course. I thank you for coming to speak with me. To be honest this turned out much better than I expected, and I am thankful for that." Maybe they can work on becoming allies. She really had no reason to hate the wolves. "And yes...any help would be greatly appreciated. I extend the same to you in any way that I am able. Do be on the look out for a message sometime next week (because weekends are no bueno)."
[2015/08/20 21:28:28] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods her head and smiles, thinking also that this went way far better then she expected. "Yes I am glad this went well, I look forward to seeing you again and I will be around with a few of my warriors in two nights time to help you and your village. I do hope you have a good evening and safe paths." With that she looked to Viveka "Ready to go Sister?" she asks as she heads for the door totally planning to go to the opium den to become very relaxed after the day she had.
[2015/08/20 21:30:40] /me Viveka stepped closer to Skyrah, as it seemed that they were getting ready to go. "You know where to find me if you wish to reach us. Myself or my guard you saw the other day if I am not about. He knows what I am and I know he will not read any messages delivered to me. He's the only one I would trust a message being delivered to aside from myself. Putting Willow on that or somehow coding it enough that others may not understand but I will know would be preferred." She would nod her head to Skyrah, turn to bow a rather boring bow for her, since she was trying to not be her and all, to Valkyrie, and then would follow Skyrah out when she started moving.
[2015/08/20 21:32:36] Valkyrie Asta Munthe: /me offered a warm smile to the both of them and bowed her head in respect. "I hope you have a good evening as well. Should you need anything from Aberwyth, do not hesitate to call upon me."
An Unusual Punishment
After realizing she had been robbed, she went about in non 'typical' ways of fixing the problem, though hopefully raising her image in the eyes of those who know...can provide prior logs. This is just where she dealt with the thief...
[2015/08/14 21:05:51] Jaxon (nelu.zuta): "Death ruins everythin unless her a vampire.....or a very interestin ghost." He smirked. "Tel lya wot. When I die I'll come haunt ya and keep ya company a while. Ya can tell me then if Im as interestin as ya thought." As for the scars thing he shrugged. "Be who ya want mate, look how ya want. Wotever makes ya 'appy, aint gonna mattah ta me."
As for Mei he went "AH ha! Tha' creepy fellow? Seen him down 'ere a time or two yeah but he aint ever say a damned word ta me. Always assumed he were a mute er somethin. But ey ya. I'll let Vika know ya stopped by." Her name didnt register.
"Most aanthing in large quantities are deadly in bulk." He looked over the list Cyn had and pointed. "Id do tha one if yer new." Pointed at another. "Tha one if yer brave." Then he blinked. "I'm a guard, but I dunno anathing baout a three day dead line." And he rubbed the back of his neck. "Been an iffy day or two fer myself if I'm honest."
[2015/08/14 21:09:32] /me Asi has been told a nope on forcing himself into a humanoid visage, and so basically just stays exactly as he is. Exactly. Not breathing, blinking, anything, just boom, there, mostly shielding the Cynric, and offering nothing more conversely about ghosts. (brb skip as needed)
[2015/08/14 21:13:00] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me is a little disappointed when Cynric denies Asi's request to change forms, but also a little concerned at the mention of self-inflicted wounds. She stores it away for later, wanting to learn more, but the current situation seemed to demand her attention. She nods to Jaxon, "Yes, extremely creepy. Exactly. And no, he's not mute...but I wouldn't mind if he were." A nervous laugh. "Thank you,' in response to him telling the owner and the creepy guard she had in fact tried...and she'd really just want to get the heck out of there.
[2015/08/14 21:13:16] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me seemed to look a little tired when she pushed open the doors only to find a crew of people just on the other side of it. At first she was a little surprised, but then her face lit up when she saw Jaxon. "Oh how the sight of you brightens my day," she would say with a grin, having not exactly come from where she wished to have been before. She turned to the other three, offering a deep, extravagant curtsy. "I do home my dear Jaxon has been taking care of you all." She was about to say more when her goat came down the hall, hooves clomping rapidly on the stone floors till he got to her with a skidding halt that ended with him momentarily on his belly. When he was back on his feet, he looked up to her expectantly. "Ever graceful, Djali," she laughed as she pulled an apple out of her bag and gave it to him. She looked back to the three guests again, smile still on her face. "It is a pleasure to see you again. If there is anything that you need, please let me know and I will see to it. I have added a
[2015/08/14 21:13:16] Viveka (themis.adasia): few new services to the springs that were not available before. I need to get that list on the wall updated but I just have not had the time lately."
[2015/08/14 21:13:47] Viveka (themis.adasia): home = hope
[2015/08/14 21:16:28] /me Kynaston Chasin shakes his head, "But still is it not our knowledge that death awaits us that creats a sort of.. enjoyment and urgancy out of life? Would not a stagnant, dull, unending life be just dreadful... though I have my curiosities about ghost. I am sure that is rather nice of you, but haunting Asi may very well cause me some annoyances. So be respectful. Otherwise, I will take some of the stuff you say only if your brave." He passes the menu back to Jaxon, as it seemed poisonus herbs were not included on it, though he was still left to wonder. Without the menu to occupy him, he could take better notice of Asi's state, and concluded, "Do as you want." Otherwise he had no input on the masked man, likely not knowing who they spoke of, but it would hardly need input when Viveka busted through the doors which caused a goat of a ruckus. "Good evening, Lady Viveka. I should have assumed it was you from the name Vika. But yes, Jaxon has been keeping us occupied to say the least. I wish you well on getting
[2015/08/14 21:16:29] /me Kynaston Chasin: but if you have a moment of time, I know Mei would love to speak with you. Ah I should thank you again for speaking with me yesterday evening."
[2015/08/14 21:23:19] Jaxon (nelu.zuta): "Aww now ya gon all quiet." He liked Asi's quirkiness.
MEi wishing the other guard were mute he just laughed his ass off before giving her a wink. No need to be nervous with him. As far as he knew she did nothing wrong! And until Vika said other wise JAxon was happy to be social with everyone.
"Speak a the devil Vika!" He turned to give her the daily perving once over. "ME ta Vika...." She was just as nice to look at. But on to business. "Tha there's Mei. Said somethin er other about a three day dead line and needin ta see ya about it."
cyn got them all to buisness too so he didnt pipe in about the ghostly stuff.
"I'll let yall do what ya needa. Vika if ya need ta put me ta work. I'll be standin over there pretendin ta be a broody guard an wot not." He blew all four of them a kiss and went to lean against a wall, arms rossed, broody face.....perfected Guard stance FTW.
[2015/08/14 21:27:23] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me really wishes that they were not discussing death as she was still worried hers was immanent as a result of what she'd done. Still, she couldn't deny the wisdom in Cynric's words on the matter and would look between the men as they spoke about it. Then, everyone's saying hello to Viveka and mentioning Mei needs to speak with her and she puts two and two together, taking another small step from behind Cynric and Asi. "Hello, Miss Viveka..." She'd force a smile. "Your other guard? The cree....the one who wears the mask? He said I should come talk to you about, you know..." Her mouth would move sideways as she started chewing her lip. She'd look over and notice how very guard-like Jaxon looked and it was impressive.
[2015/08/14 21:28:39] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me bit her lip and looked back to Jaxon, sliding in near him and attempting to loop her arms through his, but was apparently denied since he moved! Rude! Though she'd have blatantly given him the once over about four times by now and would continue to do so when he was in her field of view. "That is good to hear. He does a good job of occupying me as well. I spend too much time oogling over him from a distance. And up close. I'm not so shy." As he continued on, she would look to Mei and smile. The worry coming off of that girl was nearly palpable and she had to feel bad for her. Her smile changed to genuine concern for the girl "Ah, so this is the little dove that I was told would be looking for me. Would you like to speak in private dear or do you wish to stay out here? Don't worry, you have nothing to fear out of me. Just a little deal that I wish to make with you." She would look back to Kynaston and nod her head. "No need to thank me, love. I had tried to tell Abassi the whole story sooner but we were
[2015/08/14 21:28:39] Viveka (themis.adasia): interrupted. I do find it curious that apparently one of the guards got himself a raise for 'facing a dragon'," she would say, lifting a hand to make the quotation symbol with it, "when all he did was stand and stare. He did not even try to get other civilians out of the way when the beast landed on the infirmary nor did he deal with her minion or know what was even going on. I suppose not wetting one's trousers counts for something among them but I will continue to deal with the Wardens if there are any more demon or dragon problems personally."
[2015/08/14 21:34:34] /me Kynaston Chasin quirks a brow, "Broody?" It seemed to have tickled his funny bone a bit, especially as Jaxon sure enough took up a pose and a position that did make him out to be a guard one would not wish to mess with. He shifted to the otherside of Asi as Mei had stepped out form behind them, and at first thought to remain silent... but than Viveka was rather remarkably speaking his language. "Sounds like a good man to keep around than, for just those times." Clearly he was not seeking to flirt with Jaxon or otherwise imply HE would keep Jaxon around, but the jist of what Viveka had eluded to clearly having been caught. "Shyness would be unbecoming of you, I can tell. But I know percisely the man you speak of.. as he was the one there the night we were tending to Jaxon." he coughed, "His Wounds of course, seeking out the promotion. But We were actually going to be on our way to report the information to Abassai this evening, once we were through here. It is a shame to hear he was so highly rewarded for
[2015/08/14 21:34:34] /me Kynaston Chasin: and staring."
[2015/08/14 21:38:47] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me looks to Cynric and Asi, then back to Viveka, she was not only afraid for her safety, despite the woman seeming almost kind about the whole thing, she also would fear that she'd agree to terms at her own peril. She'd been tricked by the likes of fae and sea witches before into contracts that very nearly caused her great harm. If not for her teacher, a fae himself, intervening at times, Mei'd be dead a thousand times over by now. "I'd like to stay here, if it's okay." She listens as the speak of the dragon slaying. She'd heard rumors about it here and there since she'd arrived, the one most-repeated was that it had been a woman to take down the beast....could this woman be the same? Oh Goddess, wouldn't that be just great...a dragon slayer no less. "Are you the one they talk about?" To Viveka. "Did you kill the dragon?" She couldn't help herself.
[2015/08/14 21:46:43] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me would grin and nod her head, turning back to glance at Jaxon once again until he spoke of the guard that had gotten rewarded. She was happy that someone agreed with her! It had gotten her rather fired up the night before. "Truly, it is a shame, though at least he did share it with Gerald who actually did something to help. And took the only hit that dragon threw. So I at least will give him credit for that." Her brow rose to Mei's questions. She certainly had been out of the loop if that was being said. She laughed and shook her head "Dear, I do not really even know how to fight. I have other gifts, however, that helped get rid of the problem. I more worry about finding the path of least resistance and loss of lives or bloodshed in general. I simply made sure that the item the dragon sought was returned to her before she got tired of waiting. That is all." She really had wished the girl would have spoken to her alone, but she wasn't going to force her. She let out a sigh and nodded her head.
[2015/08/14 21:46:43] Viveka (themis.adasia): "Frankly, I know that you stole from me. Rather than report it to someone and have you arrested and end up with a reputation for yourself, I let my guard find you with explicit instructions to not harm you, only scare you to hopefully teach you to not steal from others again because one of these times, it will be from someone who will not hesitate to kill you. What you found was apparently the stash of a worker who had been building it up for some time with the intent to steal it, only I showed up and they quickly learned I cannot forget anything that I have seen and know when things are out of place and missing. While I would appreciate it's return, I am not too worried about it. I would ask that you find some way to help others. Donate to the infirmary. Help the Wardens somehow. Whatever it is that you choose to do, and we will be even. I would also hope that the incident does not keep you from visiting with us from time to time still. I assure you, my guard will not bother you or bring it up again. There
[2015/08/14 21:46:43] Viveka (themis.adasia): is no threat here to you."
[2015/08/14 21:52:27] /me Kynaston Chasin despite having mentioned a need to seek out Abassi this evening, he show no signs of departing especially after Mei declined privacy with the woman. He gave Mei a nod. "I ran into a lady at what I suppose was the magic shop, and a man that went by the name of Captain, and they were speaking of a wyvern that they slain. The other dragon departed from the isle before they were met with death." Otherwise as Viveka launched into her full detail, he gave a solumn nod. "I had heard the story of Mei's crimes and intended means of punishments, and thought it a bit strange. But I see your reasoning now, Viveka, and think you wise and generous for what you offer. I am sure you are aware that your herbal components hold healing powers different from the infirmary, so it makes sense to me that one might find themselves in desperate need of a dose or two. " He smiled over to Mei, clearly waiting to see how she would find it herself.
[2015/08/14 21:56:59] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me has no idea about the ring the dragon was after, or what it meant that Viveka had returned it...and saved the town from certain peril. Only rumors and whispers and she'd nod pretending to understand, wanting to look like she was all in-the-know. "Yes, preventing bloodshed is a good thing." Then the matter of her theft and she lowers her eyes, listening to Viveka...the words hitting her ears but not really sinking in for a minute. Finally, she blinks and looks up at the woman, "I cannot return it, it's...gone. But I will pay you back as soon as I can." She begins to talk quickly now as if her luck will run out if she stops, "And yes! Yes, I'll help out wherever I can. I do, and I will. It's not like me, Miss Viveka. I'm not a thief. I mean, I was, I did, but that's not...I won't. Not again. I swear to you, not from you or anyone. And, I can come here and clean? To help pay you back. Oh, thank you, Miss. Thank you!" She'd finally come up for air and had to resist throwing herself on the floor as a sign of
[2015/08/14 21:56:59] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): reverent gratitude. She moves to tug at Cynric's sleeve, if he'd allow, "Did you hear that? Did you hear what she said? All is well! I knew it! Didn't I? I knew it." She so didn't know it. "Thank you, too, sir. For coming with me. I will repay your kindness, too. You'll see." With that Mei would move toward the door, still wanting to get away before Viveka changed her mind. She'd just be whispering under her breath, 'thank you, thank you,' as Valeska had, for once, answered her prayers.
[2015/08/14 22:00:24] /me Asi may just be staring into the great abyss, recalling the time prior to having a corporeal form. The conversation and departures were all missed on him. And now, for no particular reason, he felt the need to spin around on Cynric and lightly, carefully, boop his nose.
[2015/08/14 22:02:01] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me would smile to Kynaston and nod to him, her hands clasping together in front of herself. "If that had been the purpose, and it had been a matter of a lack of coins, something could have been worked out. I am not so unreasonable. I have spent years traveling and offering my gifts to help others. I do not own this for coin or greed. I own it to have a sense of belonging and planting my roots, so to speak because I am tired of not having a home. It is something to help keep me in one place for a change. Though now hearing about a wyvern, dragons, and demons attacking, I really have to wonder about my choice in homes!" she joked, at least with the last bit. Her attention was suddenly cut to Mei who was talking so fast that even she nearly had a hard time keeping up with it, and she was use to having to decipher Rea on the fly. She would reach out to gently try to place a hand on the woman's shoulder to stop her and turn her to face herself. "Mei, you do not need to repay me. If you want a job here to
[2015/08/14 22:02:01] Viveka (themis.adasia): help maintain the place then you can have one, but I would rather see you help something that helps others a bit more than I do here. Maybe even cleaning at the infirmary if you think that is a way you wish to go. My friend runs it and I am sure we could work that out. Just please, don't steal again, and if what you needed was for some sort of healing purpose, just ask me next time, okay?"

[2015/08/14 22:07:33] /me Kynaston Chasin did not move his arm out of the path of Mei as she sought to tug on it. He gives her a nod in indication he well heard, "Well done, Mei. I find myself quite proud of your bravery and conviction to right your wrong this evening." He returns his words back to Viveka, "I am a harvester of herbs, and while I might not be the most skilled at the creation of drugs nor is it something I would desire to hold reputation for, I can at least extract some from poppy.. if I come upon some in the wilds of Valesk that are not claimed as crop fields for this shop, of couse. It is in my best interest to see Mei settled well. And yes, please let me or any of the other Warden's know if you have any future troubles with the likes of wyverns, dragons, and demons." Otherwise he seemed satisfied with the proceedings of the evening and the boop to the nose causing him to rise and lift back off of Asi, "I believe we will be departing to if I have any hopes of catching Abassi this evening."
[2015/08/14 22:11:06] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me feels the hand on her shoulder, and the vibrations of the woman. She knew enough to be able to detect someone's general nature from their touch and this was sincerely kind. She turns to look up at Viveka, "The infirmary would be perfect, miss. I could study healing magic...then maybe next time there'd be no need for drugs when my teacher gets hurt. And yes," she'd blush, "I'll ask next time. I swear." And she'd decide right then and there to bake an extra loaf of apple bread for the woman, having already planned on one for Cynric and Asi, to thank them. She beams over at Cynric, a compliment like that from a prince was no small thing in her book. "With your help, sir. Yours and Asi's." And she'd bow just as awkwardly as she had when they first met, believing him to be every bit the prince Asi seemed to think he was. She couldn't help herself, just as she was about to try to leave again, she'd move to give Viveka a quick hug, another whispered, "Thank you."
[2015/08/14 22:15:51] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me nodded her head to Kynaston, stepping back out of the way so that they may depart after she had said her peace to Mei. "Good luck with that! And I most certainly will. The guards may have a leader I could drool over all day, but I question their sense of bravery and combat. I will be sure to let you all know anything that I hear that could be a significant threat." She seemed happy with Mei's response to her and she would beam at the woman. "Very well, I will speak with Cy tomorrow. I keep putting off having my ear looked at one last time and I am sure to get a verbal lashing, but I will arrange it with her." She was just about to turn to move further into the den when she was suddenly hugged. At one time, she would have been terrified of someone grabbing her so suddenly, but thankfully now she was able to return it with a laugh. "You are most welcome, dove. I do hope to see you again some time. And do not worry about the broody guard any more. I think he was more agitated that you managed to charm
[2015/08/14 22:15:51] Viveka (themis.adasia): him and get one past him. Men....so sensitive," she joked, her eyes looking to Asi and Cynric. "No offense or anything." When she managed to get out of the hug, she would bow to the trio again. "Have a good evening and safe travels to you."

[2015/08/14 22:18:14] /me Kynaston Chasin extends himself into a full sweeping bow, much like the one Asi had mimicked earlier in the evening, "My pleasure, Mei. It sounds like you have many studies ahead of you as I fully intend to work with you on teaching you the ways of herbal healings. Though Lady Cy of the infirmary is more of an expert at herbs for healing than I am, I still hold some knowledge." He returns to a full stands to give a nod to Viveka. "It seems the Captain has quite the fan club in reguards to oggles over his visage. I know little of him at present but these eyes of mine have at least seen what is being talked about. And as no offense has been taken, I do hope you have a good evening." He heads out, quite possibly with Asi in tow, perhaps awkwardly following Mei till they exited out of the undergrounds before at last splitting off a seperate way.

[2015/08/14 22:19:24] /me Asi left the tip of his claw on Cynric's nose for a second longer than necessary, needing a moment to process what he may have missed. Clearly it was safe to conclude that things went well for Mei, that Jaxon was fine, and that Viveka was, at least, only half as frightening as once believed. Once that was all processed he ceases the boop, quipping a quiet, "Very well, as you wish," and resumes as normal. For him. In which he states a polite, "Gender is transient, have an evening that suits your mood." And is apparently off before he can suggest getting poppy seeds to grow the poppies. Tragedy!
After this....Vik get's Mei a job in the infirmary....
[2015/08/15 19:13:08] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me strolls along the path, watching ad Djali chased butterflies while they made their way to the infirmary. She never knew if one knocked when they entered an infirmary considering....but she never did anyway. It was Cy's. She hardly got the door open before Djali would have shoved his way in and happily pranced up to Cy, Vik herself holding back a second to adjust her boot because ugh...boots. When she finally made her way back in, she would laugh and shake her head. Djali had found himself a regular to flirt with outside of the workers it seemed. "Evening, Cy. I hope all is well with you."
[2015/08/15 19:18:13] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me was shoving parchments around her desk as if she had something to do. She probably did, but her mind was elsewhere for the moment. A cold nose prodded at her, bringing her out of her small distraction. Casting a glance towards the source she would smile, kneeling down to give Djali a hug and kiss on the top of his head, if he allowed. Dragging her sights up she finally saw Vika and gave her an equally warm smile, dipping her head, "Evening, Vika. I am well. How do you fare tonight?" looking her over slowly, just a physicians assessment sort of deal.
[2015/08/15 19:21:51] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me rose a brow at that look she was getting and wondered if she'd forgotten to fasten something. Not like she didn't run around more exposed on a pretty regular basis. Djali would never turn down lovins from a female. Ever. Unless it was the mean kind of lovins and then he'd flee. But this wasn't mean. He'd nearly smirk if a goat could smirk. "No complaints. I came to talk with you about something. A girl named Mei owes me a favor and I asked her to repay me by helping somewhere that actually matters rather than in the springs or den. She seems to have a high interest in learning herbal healing and was hoping you would allow her to help clean up around here and perhaps teach her a few things."
[2015/08/15 19:26:39] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me rose slowly, clasping her hands behind her back, "I am glad you are well then." Walking around the desk so it did not serve as a wall between herself and her friend, "You are having people repay your favors by giving their time to the infirmary?" Canting her head to the side, unsure how she felt about that deal of favors. Pursing her lips for a moment, then speaking softly, "If Mei shows a real interest, I would not turn her away. I will have to see that she can agree to peacefulness within the infirmary, and abiding by our rules, but other than that - I'd be willing to assist her in repaying her debt to you." Curling a stray hair or two behind her pointed ear, "May I ask you what debt she is repaying?"
[2015/08/15 19:33:26] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me wasn't entirely sure what was to worry about her having someone pay a favor by donating their time to something more useful, but it seemed like something was off by the question. She shrugged it off and nodded along with what Cy was saying. "She was in a bit of a pinch and I helped her out. That's all. Nothing all that big but she insisted on repaying me for what I had done. I just figured that her time was better spent helping somewhere like the infirmary or the Wardens or Guards rather than down in the springs or the den. Especially if she is willing to learn and perhaps even be willing to take a job if she does learn well enough." Djali would have moved with Cy and plopped down near her feet up until he decided that he was hungry, in which case he would get back up and start nosing at the pouch on her hip. He'd eat the thing if he had to, but luckily Vik knew in advance to get one of the apples she had stashed in there for him and hand it over. "Don't worry Cy. I know I may not linger in the
[2015/08/15 19:33:26] Viveka (themis.adasia): best of areas right now but I would not send someone over that I did not believe was trustworthy, if you have any concerns about that."
[2015/08/15 19:37:31] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me had to be overly cautious, knowing that there were some out there that'd take advantage of the herbs she had on hand. Waving a hand, "I did not think that you would intentionally send a wicked being my way, but you can never be too sure with any of the races these days. I
[2015/08/15 19:37:36] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): (entered too soon(
[2015/08/15 19:40:47] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): I've heard many disturbing things about all from elves to wolves, dastardly behavior is not limited to just the demonic and under dark varmint any more. " GEsturing to the door, "Have her come by, and I will speak to her about being an apprentice, if she seeks to become an herbal healer. She can learn alchemy with me, so we can put her to use." Glancing around the room they were standing in, "And I could always use someone to maintain the cleanliness of the space, this building is quite a bit harder to maintain than the other." Watching Djali for a moment, chuckling, "If he has any interest in carrots I have plenty upstairs. I was going to juice some later."
[2015/08/15 19:44:42] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me walks in hoping to speak with someone about ways she can help out, wanting to keep her promise. She looks around and the only woman she recognizes is Viveka, "Oh, hello, miss." She'd nod and smile to the other woman, and a warm smile to each of the companions. "I hope I'm not interrupting. I can come back..."
[2015/08/15 19:46:28] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me's expression fell as her friend went on about the horrible things people have done. She held up a hand so that she could look at her palm and sighed. "Trust me, I know all too well about how horrible any race can be. I'm even questioning my own las of late. If I cannot sway the minds of the others, I think I will be venturing on my own again. Not like I'm not use to it.. And if you have any problems with her, let me know and I will make sure it is handled personally. I do not think you will, however. Especially knowing she can come back to me if she needs help. I made sure I enforced that." Once Cy mentioned carrots, she made a reach to try to grab Djali by the horn, but it was too late. The creature knew that word too well and he was up and heading for the stairs, though he wasn't going to make it very far because of how those stairs were. Not very friendly with hooves at all! He'd bleat pathetically as he looked up them. Before she could go get him, the door open and in walked the devil herself.
[2015/08/15 19:46:28] Viveka (themis.adasia): Well...speak of the devil sort of devil. She would smile and shake her head. "Not in the least. We were just discussing having you help out and Cy taking you on as an apprentice to repay the favor. Mei, this is my dearest friend, Cypriana. Cy, this is Mei."
[2015/08/15 19:51:49] /me Tyri Lhinneth: looks up from filling out her application. smiles at all the people that walked in from all around her
[2015/08/15 19:53:20] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me let out the full of life laugh that was rarely ever heard, seeing how the goat went for the stairs, "I apologies sweet Djali, that was cruel of me. I did not consider the stairs and your hooves." Quickly enough any trace of the laughter and light vanished, hearing the door open. Turning her head towards the newcomer, allowing for the introductions to be made before she dipped her head, "Vedui Mei, a pleasure to meet you." Splaying a hand out towards Vika, "as she has said, we have been discussing your debt and how it can be fulfilled. If you have in interest to work here, I would gladly take the help." Looking the woman over, lips pursing tightly, wanting to throw a covering over the woman, but she'd refrain. Instead she would stretch her arm back to point towards the apothecary shelves, "If you'd like to learn herbal healing while here, I'd welcome you as a student."
[2015/08/15 19:58:09] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me smiles, as Viveka introduces them. "Oh yes, Cypriana. Nice to meet you!" Mei nods her head, "I'd very much like to. I've been wanting to study the healing arts. I never realized how...important they are." Mei laughs too, Cypriana's was contagious. She watches the poor goat for a minute, before turning her eyes back to Cypriana, bright and wide "Thank you. You won't regret giving me a chance! I'm a good student and a fast learner. And I work hard." All of these were true. "Can I start tomorrow?" She'd notice the woman's examination and that she felt suddenly exposed made her know why the woman looked at her so. "I have other dresses." She'd smile politely.
[2015/08/15 20:01:55] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me had tried to not laugh at Djali but when Cy burst out, she had to as well. It was so rare for the hoity toity elf that it needed to be enjoyed. Djali didn't seem to appreciate it though. If a goat had an angry face, he was making it at them right now. He'd get over it though. He always did once his mind was on something else. And then Cy gave Mei that look that she knew all too well since she got it more often than not. It didn't help that Mei seemed to catch on as well and she burst out laughing again, approaching Mei to gently place a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry about it dove. she's just a typical elf. Just don't dress in much less or you may get bopped with a book or something. Or is that just my special punishment?" She would glance to Cy at that last question, the humor still in her expression. "But it may be wise to cover a little more. Never know what you may get on you or who my end up falling in love with you since you may save their lives." She hardly noticed the other girl that
[2015/08/15 20:01:55] Viveka (themis.adasia): finally took note of them, but she would catch the smile and return it. "Good to see that you made your way here as well! One never knows how well a man is going to give directions. Not that they could have been worse than mine!"
[2015/08/15 20:08:07] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me nodded. "I welcome anyone who honestly wants to learn, I've enough patience for any sort of learner, tho I am relieved to hear that you are a quick learner." Frowning softly towards Vika, "I've learned your skull is thicker than any other, over the years.." Flicking her sights towards Mei, "She is correct, however, dressing more fully would be in your best interest. There are ailments that can be caught by skin contact, the less skin you show, the better you may find yourself." Hooking a thumb back towards her desk, "I can provide you with an application, so you can apply to be a student. You may start assisting with any cleaning of the infirmary, but to assist with healing, I will need the application first."
[2015/08/15 20:10:18] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me laughs along with Viveka, albeit a little restrained as she was in front of her new boss and teacher. "Yes, good point about the getting stuff on you." And Mei would momentarily worry about the new arrangement. Fluids. Ugh. Hopefully she'd get over her squeamishness quickly. She was at least good in an emergency, this she knew. "Yes, I'll take an application thank you. I'll bring it with me tomorrow when I come to clean."
[2015/08/15 20:16:17] /me Tyri Lhinneth: looking over at viveka recognizing her and says" yes he was actually really nice and gave good directions." Looking over at the girl with the pink top on and says " i am excited to have someone to learn with."
[2015/08/15 20:18:26] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me beamed brightly when Cy said she had an especially thick head. "Why thank you for noticing Cy! I've worked hard to achieve such status!" Plus she loved to terrorize Cy. It was almost a highlight of her day. She was happy, however, that Mei seemed to be at least mostly excited about learning and what not. All was good in the world! For now. She smiled to Tyri and nodded her head. "Did he finally stop calling you an angel and thinking you hailed from Valesk herself?"
[2015/08/15 20:25:45] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me looked to the woman in the dress, "Vedui.." seeing that Vika knew this one as well, "I am Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn, may I ask who you are?" Turning towards the desk, pulling an application parchment off of the top, "I know there are several questions here, just answer with what you know..:" Turning back around to face all of the women, hand outstretch to give Mei the application, "and make sure to denote that you wish to train as a student." Once the scroll was taken she'd join her hands together behind her back once more, "It will be my pleasure to train you and I will eagerly await receipt of your application."
[2015/08/15 20:26:15] Mei Lin (ghostofishtar): /me nods and smiles at the other pink-haired girl. "I'm Mei, and yes it will be very nice." She'd move to put a gentle hand on Viveka's elbow and whisper, "Thank you again, miss." Taking the application she'd wave it happily in the air, "I'll see you first thing! First thing tomorrow. And many thanks to you, miss." A bright smile at Cypriana and she'd move to leave the infirmary and head for home. She had a nagging feeling something was amiss. But even as she walked away, or floated rather, so happy about this new learning experience, they'd be able to hear one more gleeful, "Thank you!" This time her face to the sky thanking the Goddess...and she'd be off for the tree house hoping all was well.
[2015/08/15 20:31:52] /me Tyri Lhinneth: smiling at Viveka she says "yes he stopped calling me that after i was direct in telling him i was a human and wanted to be thought of as that." looked over to Cypriana and says " oh i am so sorry i didn't introduce myself I am Tyri it is very nice to meet you, and thanks again for the application." She waves to the girl who left the infirmary.
[2015/08/15 20:34:18] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me knows eeeeeeveryyyoooooone! Djali was still at the stairs patiently waiting for carrots that someone went and mentioned, and now he was getting ignored when there were girls all in the room. He bleated loudly and gave Vik a look, which she returned and it became a staring contest between the two and it was difficult to tell which was the more stubborn and thick headed. Djali won though. the excitement of Mei distracted her and she was glad to have helped her out. Djali came back over to her and decided to start chewing on her bag for another apple if he wasn't getting carrots. She tried to smack at him but he was ever persistent until he got another apple. "Like you didn't eat a dozen butterflies on the way!" She rolled her eyes and turned her attention to Tyri. "Good to hear. Sometimes I forget that not everyone has seen or heard of all the things that I have and may not know what possibilities there are for winged creatures. Though there is one kind I can certainly live without seeing ever
[2015/08/15 20:34:18] Viveka (themis.adasia): again. Thankfully there seem to be none here. Assimar is the closest."
[2015/08/15 20:40:48] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me dipped her head once more, "Tyri.. You are most welcome." Just when all hope was lost there were loud thudding footsteps coming down the steps. It was Hilde. In her apron she held at least twenty bundled carrots, "CYPPY....." yelling out for her boss, until she noticed there were a bunch of people gathered around. Looking wide eyed as Cypriana gave her a glare of acknolwegdement. "I mean, Medicus Caput... Where did you want the carrots then.." having been sent well over an hour ago to get the carrots. She had slept on one of the benches in the classroom. Turning back to Vika, "You are the official island greeter, aren't you?"
[2015/08/15 20:45:05] /me Tyri Lhinneth: Smiling at both cypriana and Viveka. she says" i am so excited to learn about healing."
[2015/08/15 20:48:46] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me had an ear to ear shit eating grin when she heard the name Cyppy out of Hilde. Her eyes were fixed on Cy and the woman would just know that was forever going to be her name now. Unfortunately, it distracted her enough to not even have a hope of catching Djali once the carrots hit his nose, or were mentioned. Which ever had come first. She scrambled to catch his back half, but he slid out and left her in a heap on the floor while he ran over to Hilde with his little tail wagging like a dog. Vik pushed herself back up to her knees and let out a huff. Once she was on her feet again and Cy had asked her about being an official greeter, she winked to the woman with a grin. "I simply have to make sure I get all the sexy men working for me before anyone else can get their grubby little paws on them. Or at the very least know who I have yet to flirt with."
[2015/08/15 20:50:49] Nymeria: /me stared at the door to the new medical..estate? Building? Gods, she didn't even know. She had come by to try to find Cy almost every day since she was instructed to, but to no avail.. And was usually fairly quick to leave the area once she took note of her not being present. This area gave her the creeps and just made her feel .. bad. The Wardens should still be here. And it was partially her fault that they weren't. With a little sigh, she pushed the door open, expecting to come up empty handed again. But no! Today, the person she was looking for was here! Along with Viveka! It was like a two for one deal or something. Nym did her best to force a smile to both of them in turn, but didn't speak yet, not wanting to interrupt whatever was currently going on.
[2015/08/15 20:56:34] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me knew almost as soon as Hilde had called out her nickname for her that Vika would take advantage of it. Had she been any less composed she'd have allowed a loud sigh. Instead she watched the goat race up to Hilde, knocking several carrots out of her apron, "Git you, git outta here.." a dwarfy foot came out kicking around, trying to get Djali to back away. Shaking her head, directing Hilde with a pointed finger, "In back, you can begin juiceing what hasn't fallen on the floor." Turning to see Vika getting up to her feet, moving a step forward to offer her hand in getting up. Vika was on her feet before she could actually have helped much at all. Lofting a singular brow towards her friend, "Sometimes I wonder if you've hit your head a few too many times.." Seeing Nymeria enter she'd shift to give her a soft nod of her head, "Vedui, how are you this evening?"
[2015/08/15 21:00:03] /me Tyri Lhinneth: she rushes over to try to help Viveka and says. " Are you okay? " as she says to the lady that the goat ran over to and says "hello"
[2015/08/15 21:03:29] Viveka (themis.adasia): Djali was not so easily deterred. He was a dexterous little bugger, dodging the flailing foot for the most part and grabbing up the ones that had fallen to the floor quickly before anyone could try to steal them from him. He would even start to follow Hilde to where she was taking the carrots and just wait patiently for another to fall to the floor, looking up at her with pleading eyes. He really was much like a dog, and in some cases cats. Vik tried to call for him but it was no use. "You'd think I never fed him. Or any of the girls at work that swoon over him." When she turned, she saw Nym walking into the door and smiled at her. "Well hello there Nym! It's about time you came back for your check up!" Though she was just as bad when it came to her ear. Busy and stuffs! "Cyppy, you know very well what is wrong with me. It's that human blood waaaay back in my blood!" she nods sagely as if she really believed that was the case. "I come from Tavern dwellers! And I am fine Tyri, thank you for asking though.
[2015/08/15 21:03:29] Viveka (themis.adasia): Bastard is just a handful sometimes and reminds me why I'm not cut out for a real kid."
[2015/08/15 21:07:34] мαε (corgi): /me raised a brow at Hilde and the goat, slightly concerned about what exactly was going on, but then just shook her head and turned her attention back to Cy once greeted. "I am well, thank you." She tilted her head back and lifted a hand to point at her throat. It was actually fairly healed, but the scar was nasty. "Everything is healing up nicely, thanks to you. I do not know if I would have made it otherwise." Hell, even her limp was barely noticeable anymore. It seemed like she was kicking ass at this recovery thing. Or something. Wolves, resilient as ever. Vika's words made her instantly turn to glare at the woman, her arms crossing under her chest. "I will have you know that I have tried to come for the 'check up' more than once, but our infirmary lead here has been a bit hard to catch." Mostly because Nymeria had terrible timing.. Oh well.
[2015/08/15 21:12:39] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me cast a look towards Hilde and her new shadow as Vika spoke about it, "It seems that he is much like his companion, quite social indeed.." Bringing her attention back to the front room and the three ladies collected near the door. Once Nym showed the wound site she would step forward, closing the distance some, making sure to examine it closely, "It does seem to be healing well, however, it seems the scar is going to be considerable." Her hand flicked up, a finger jutting behind her, "I could get you a something to apply to the flesh so that it may reduce the look of it.." Rolling her eyes towards Vika, "If you keep insisting on such nonsense I might start treating you as such. I much prefer the majestic creature you really are, Vika."
[2015/08/15 21:17:59] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me took two large steps away from Mae at the look that she got. She wasn't going to be in arms range of the feisty little critter and wanted to make sure even a lunge would still take longer than she needed to flee. It also put the distance between her and Cy, which sometimes was a good thing when she was giving her grief. "Oohh really? Bad timing, eh? Cyyy, are you up to no good and you're not including me?!" Of course then there was the majestic creature comment. She looked almost confused and her ear twitched. "Well it certainly is about time someone appreciated me at my full value!"
[2015/08/15 21:22:41] Nymeria: /me shrugged her shoulders a bit at the comment towards reducing the scar. "I am honestly so covered in the damn things that it is the least of my worries, Cypriana. Although I do appreciate the offer, honestly." A kind smile was given after she spoke. She really did appreciate it, especially on top of everything else the woman had done for her. Her nose wriggled a bit, eyes flicking back to her friend. "I believe it is more my fault that I have not been able to see her until now. I tend to wander up at strange hours." Her head shook, about to continue with that thought until Cy said something about Vika being majestic. "She really is quite the majestic one, yes?" The small woman let out a laugh, the glare completely gone now and replaced by an amused look, smirk touching those scarred lips of hers. "I'm pretty sure Cailean appreciates you at your full value. Or would, if you would properly let him." Truth be told, Nym did, too, but that was beside the point.
[2015/08/15 21:28:43] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me gave Vika the look she always ended up earning, a narrowed eye and tightly pursed lips, before replying coldly, "I think we already established that you're busy being included in everyone elses business. Mine is far too bland for you to attend to." While she loved Vika dearly, the woman could always poke at her more expertly than anyone else and garner a more genuine response. Flicking a dismissive hand Vika's way, "You've always been aware of how much I respect that part of you." Shifting, looking at Nymeria for a moment, "If you insist. Should you rethink it, Hilde will have instructions to supply you with the calendula and mustard seed oil ointment." Nyms reaction to the majesty comment earned a little brow lift, which soon fell along with her whole expression as she spoke further, "I would be an absolutely unqualified to judge that sort of value, I fear my assertion if quite different." disapproval painting her features.
[2015/08/15 21:34:46] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me cleared her throat and seemed to try to calm herself down a little. She was in rare form tonight. "Nonsense Cy, were you not the first person I came to see when arriving here? I even forwent the tavern and sat outside of your infirmary just waiting for you to get here. And you are still at the highest on my list of people to be concerned with." Her ear flicked and that grin started to spread back across her face when Nym went on about the captain. She tried to fight it, she really did, but he was one of those whom she fully appreciated, just perhaps in other ways. And not quite as fully as she might hope she was. She cleared her throat again and settled her mind, knowing damn well Cy could get every last emotion from her. At least it wasn't full force lusty just....a little excited. "I need to hunt him down now that you mention him. He promised me fighting lessons and I have had to rely on Mr Fos when I have actually had the time. It's time I paid him a visit. Perhaps I will hunt him down
[2015/08/15 21:34:46] Viveka (themis.adasia): tomorrow."
[2015/08/15 21:39:07] Nymeria: /me made a quick note of what Cy said the ingredients were for the ointment.. If anything, she'd probably just make it herself if she ever felt the urge to get the scars to go away. Her brows raised as she watched Vika talk about Cailean, curious indeed. "I would offer to go with you, but I am not entirely sure if 'fighting lessons' is truly what you mean." She smirked again. "Although I do miss Cailean. I have not seen him nearly as much as I wish I would have after I started getting more acquainted to the island." One of her hands lifted and scratched the back of her head, her mismatched eyes shifting from both women to roam the rows of shelves behind Cy. "Or maybe he has been avoiding me after the whole ..hitting him in the face with a book thing." She mumbled, then gave a shake of her head, quickly changing the subject. "Was there something that you had needed assistance with, Cypriana? I vaguely remember you mentioning something the other day, but I did not get any details from you at that time."
[2015/08/15 21:45:05] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me fidgeted, Vikas ..excitement.. was enough to frustrate her. Backing up some, taking a deep breath in, "I am glad that I remain high on your list Vika, you will always be so on my own." Catching how Nym looked at the rows of supplies behind her, she would nod in agreement, "I had said that you could do something for me.." Stretching her arm behind her, "we have run out of several of the local herbs, and I have been buried beneath paperwork and duties outside of the infirmary. I was wondering if you could check the stores and should you find something that is low, collect it and bring it for us to use?" Bringing her hands back to the resting position behind her, "I understand if you're too busy for such a thing, but it would be something I'd be very appreciative of."
[2015/08/15 21:46:02] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): is offline.
[2015/08/15 21:46:48] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me laughed and shook her head. "No, I mean fighting lessons. I've grown a bit tired of not being able to defend myself if I'm going to keep getting attacked or facing scary things. Plus it's high time. And then I am going to have Cy teach me pressure points so I can use them in massages but also tie them into combat should I need to. Ya know, since sometimes I don't have much use for a bow or sword or anything. May as well learn hand to hand." Djali came back over to her, crunching the last of the carrots he had managed to get. He was content for the time being. She reached a hand out to brush it down his forehead. But she blinked and looked between the two till her eyes finally landed on Cy. "And here I thought getting smacked with books was a term of endearment! But I doubt that is why. He is just busy. And after the show the other day at the meeting in Valk's home, I get the sense he is probably hiding from her because it is like what Cy and I have, only Valk is less patient with him than Cy is with
[2015/08/15 21:46:48] Viveka (themis.adasia): me. But you can come with me if you are about when I try to find him. I am sure it will be a good laugh. One of the two of us is bound to end up in here out of some freak accident."
[2015/08/15 21:51:29] Ella: entered chat range (17.66 m).
[2015/08/15 21:52:13] Nymeria: /me blinked. That was all she needed? "Oh, that is no problem at all." She smiled, trying to keep herself distracted from the snowball of thoughts that was going on in her head. A lot of worrying that the elf would no doubt feel, even if Nym was keeping a straight face about it. "Do you have a list of what you need? If I cannot find them, I can also.. Grow them? If you have the seeds. It is about the only bit of magic I can do." She turned her attention back to Vika, listening to her talk with a little nod of her head. "I definitely will come, if I am about. If anything, I can either learn a thing or two or actually help you, too. I know a fair bit, but my thing is more archery than the combat I am sure Cailean has offered."
[2015/08/15 21:56:57] Cypriana Vanya Tamalyn (cy.tamalyn): /me closed her eyes a moment, opening them and taking the opportunity to walk away from the both women and their feels. "I can get a list for you, certainly. I have a few students joining the infirmary with interest in herbology, so I will certainly have use for plenty of stock. No one learns the first time, I am sure there will be a few blunders." Finding her way behind the desk, writing a note on the parchment that lay on top, "Can I have Hilde bring you a list, no later than tomorrow?" Shuffling around a few parchments, and looking towards all the women, "For now, if you will all pardon me, I need to tend to some personal business outside of the infirmary. I just noticed how late it has gotten..." With that she'd veture towards the door, giving a low dip of her head, "I apologize for needing to leave so suddenly.."
[2015/08/15 21:57:07] /me Tyri Lhinneth: she says well i think i am going to go to the inn and eat i will be back." as she heads towards the door
[2015/08/15 21:59:14] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me waved a hand dismissively towards Cy, just assuming it was the feels flooding her or something. "Not to wrry Cy- " she was just about to finish the nickname, but opted not to, so the name came out a little odd.. "I should be running as well in all honesty." ((Aka need to eat and gonna sift about and see what i feel like making as an alt *nods* and what avi i want to do it on))
Calming the Dragon
This was a series of several roleplays over a period of about two weeks. I can provide more of them, but I am including the final "scene" with the storweaver NPC's....
[2015/08/01 20:43:35] /me Nadia stands in the middle of the Aberwyth square, the blade on her back radiating a heat that laughs as it banishes the night's encroaching chill. Those who were there the night of Anastasia's first formal visitation might recognize her as the truthseer who had been at her side, but tonight the only sign of the dragon is a black shadow in the night sky sweeping across the stars. The containers of exotic liquids on her belt clink and clatter as she paces, an hourglass in her hand slowly draining sand from the top to the bottom.
[2015/08/01 20:47:59] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me made her way up to the upper part of the city, muttering under her breath the whole way because the people she was going to have be with her whenever the dragon lady showed up were in a bit of a panic from the fire that had burned their building down. She was about to head into the tavern, in fact she was in the doorway when she came to a stop, quirked her brow and tilted her head. She turned back slowly because it just hit her that the woman was standing out by the well. She remembered her from the night with the dragon. "Well this is fabulous," she grumbled since she no longer had wardens to be meatshields if anything went awry. "I suppose you are here to collect then?"
[2015/08/01 20:53:35] Reanna Sèitheach (reanna.lockjaw): /me had long ago sent Marcus home, not much to do today but keep stock and the like, and pull in a few orders from the docks. She stepped out to tend to the little plant beds in front of her window, cause why the hell not. She'd raise a brow at the gathering in the square, but otherwise ignore it as she goes to pull weeds and harvest some of the berries that were growing.
[2015/08/01 20:54:00] /me Morrigan was creeping around, stalking like a cat around buildings and plants, until she stepped out into the open. Even as she stood there, her hips would not keep still, dancing through the air as if she were staring in a show all her own. Glancing between the women in the square, trying to decide if either looked delicious enough to hit on. There would have been a blatant flirtatious greeting, but she felt a slight ominous tone in the night air. Gazing up she would notice the shadow that was cast, and pout, it was going to ruin her plans for sexual healing, she was sure of it. Drawn back at the delightful call of Viv's voice, oh ho what was being collected, was it treasure.. eyes dancing inquisitively.
[2015/08/01 20:55:25] /me Gerald Baker steps out from the tavern as Viveka shows up with the ring. Moving over, he would stand next to Vivika, the meat shield for tonight in case things should go awry. "I hope so." he says "I would love for this to all be over now."
[2015/08/01 20:57:07] Bird Ix'Chirp: entered chat range (16.04 m).
[2015/08/01 20:58:44] /me The woman gives a single nod. "I do hope, for all our sakes, that you are here to deliver. The Mistress has cause to be patient, but if she believes you are not making progress... she will have no use for you." Her steps are light, almost as though she is simply gliding over the ground rather than walking upon it, as she approaches, hands on her hips. "Patient or not, however, she is quite prepared to dole out punishments to those who makes promises they cannot keep. I pray for thee, do not be one of those unfortunate souls."
[2015/08/01 21:00:36] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me stepped into the square, his eyes taking a gaze around, between all the people, a shadow passes omonously above and his eyes gazed upward, it felt bad, the fires from last night though he had not been there... Where fresh in his minds, he still didn't understand what had happened, then again he had not questioned anyone. His foot falls stop in the square as he gazed from figure to figure. He stood tall as he'd judge each of their intent... well, base intent, he couldnt read minds after all. He continued to step forward though pausing at the group near the ugly duckling, arms soon crossed over his chest, he felt nothing conspicuous about an omonous shadow and some one talking about about having no use for people, so he paced around the square for a little bit observing folks.
[2015/08/01 21:03:10] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me for once in her life kept her theatrics to...well...nothing at all. She never let her eyes leave the woman, though she was aware of the other presences around her. "If you would allow me one thing, then this can be over and done with. All I ask is that you allow me to use something a spell you used to determine if you are speaking truthfully, and ask you one question. If I am satisfied, then you will get what you want. If I am not...then you had best be prepared to follow me to hell and back." She looked tired, having lost a lot of sleep due to the presence of the ring, but she was not letting just how tired she was show. She wanted to beat this thing and be rid of the ring for good.
[2015/08/01 21:04:27] Viveka (themis.adasia): use a spell*
[2015/08/01 21:04:54] /me Morrigan was absolutely giddy and did nothing to hide that fact from anyone, with a smile on her face that spanned from ear to ear, and pale green eyes that danced with interest. She might have even clapped, but she thought better, and stuffed them into the belt of her skirt. Making not attempts to greet anyone at this point, all too interested in observing and pondering the prospect of bloodshed. Mmmm, now her mouth was watering a bit, tongue snaking out to lick over her lips. Whispering, "Missstresss." with a snake like hiss, placing all of her attention on the woman issuing threats and conditions. The red eyed woman seemed to possess power, and Morrigan loved power, immediately her mind began calculating what to do, how to manipulate the situation - if there was possibility of it at all. Rotating her body to focus on Vika now, lips curling a bite more, still interested in her as much as the other woman.
[2015/08/01 21:07:39] /me Gerald Baker turns to look over the gathering crowd, a frown on his face. Stepping around, he would maneuver himself between the crowd and Viveka. This damn ring had a penchant for being stolen and had caused enough trouble, he wanted to make sure that there was as little chance of that happening again as possible. His arms crossed over his chest, he would scan the crowd before turning his attention to the woman here in the dragon's name
[2015/08/01 21:10:47] /me The woman frowns. "If you think the Umbra will save you, it will not. Dragons go where they please, when they please. But cast your spell and ask your question. However..." She brings two fingers to her lips and lets out three shrill, sharp whistles, a triplet of sounds that shatters the silence of the night. The shadow of the dragon's wings comes closer, looming larger, for one moment blocking the light of the near-full moon and reminding everyone of the great wyrm's proximity. She shifts between her feet with that ethereal grace and glides to the back and right, leaving Viveka closest to her. "If you prefer, I can simply converse in the old tongue." She swallows and wets her lip, before hissing steadily, <The Draconic language is understood by all, and none may speak an untruth in it, for it is a language of thought and magic, not of sound and words.>
[2015/08/01 21:12:55] Reanna Sèitheach (reanna.lockjaw): /me ears twitched under those wild locks as the conversation goes on. She'd stand, dusting off the dirt on her hands as she turns. There wasn't much for her to contribute, having no clue what all this nonsense was. Brows shot upwards at the mention of the umbra.. and dragon speak? well shit..
[2015/08/01 21:12:57] /me Rogue was quietly moving through the bushes and around the buildings looking for things of interest or who might be her next victim. She was like a mouse, her footsteps could not be heard as she crawled around the building, hiding behind a tree as she saw a group of people but one in particular sparked her interest. Something about dragons and umbra, though as she looked to the sky she saw the looming creature and knew something may happen. Best keep herself out of sight for now. [Using trait based skill The Mouse]
[2015/08/01 21:15:08] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me this was getting more and more interesting by the second, his eyes looked between the two women? women. yep, in the center of the street as the armored figure approached them He would stop near Gerald though, taking a look to his right at the woman, then back to Gerald brow rose just a little. He was the only guard on duty, and had missed the entire length of this going on, who knew how delicate the situation was. But at the moment, it was non-violent. which was good. Though NOW getting a sight of a dragon, that put him on edge, as his eye looked up and that language rambled in his head and he didnt like things messing with his head as those glowing blues looked down at the woman before them. This could get REALLY ugly... REALLY REALLY ugly really fast. he was now attempting to memorize the woman before him in much detail as he could, Reports would have to be written, lots of them. NOT that he knew much about dragons mind you but he was for the moment, really on edge.
[2015/08/01 21:17:20] /me Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont D'or had been walking with a slight strut towards the general store, his heels clicking on the stone floor a bit loudly, however he paused when he had seen the strange gathering ahead of him, holding up a gloved hand for his sibling behind. "Hold on then, dear." He spoke back to her, his attention now on the thickness of the crowd. "Let's watch and see what is going on here... " The overly flamboyant and dressed man would puff on his pipe, sending out little rings of smoke, keeping sure to not stand too close to anyone in particular, save for his sibling of an Elf behind him. His eyes would then rise upwards to the familiar scene of great wings against the light of the moon, his mask's brow raising in amazement. "Look, Casi-dear! A wyrm! Oh, look! It is a unique day indeed! If it brings fire down, be prepared to run into the woods, yes? How remarkable.. Do you hear that speech in your mind, my sister?" His voice was almost giddy, but his stance did reveal a sort of alert, intent o
[2015/08/01 21:17:21] /me Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont D'or: ahead of him rather than behind.
[2015/08/01 21:18:11] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me felt a smile tugging at the corners of her lips when Gerald seemed to shield her from the others around. She had no wardens as she had hoped, but he was still there to stand in the way, even if he may still be injured. She looked back as the woman as she whistled and then up to the sky. Vik actually was not afraid. Even if the dragon attacked, she did not fear death. She just worried about the others and being responsible for their deaths. She considered the options presented to her. Not using the spell would spare her some pain, but without knowing for sure if it was the truth or not. "That is all well and good, but people can sound convincing in any language and I do not know enough to know if I can trust that. No offense. Her eyes glanced to the other that approached, the rage from the night before, the lack of sleep, and the presence of the ring weighing heavily on her and not liking another being so near to her, and the ring. She side stepped to her left to put a little more distance between her
[2015/08/01 21:18:11] Viveka (themis.adasia): and the others and held her hands close to each other, her eyes closing and her hands held close to each other in front of her chest. She whispered, though any close enough would hear it nearly sounded almost musical. Her hair would slightly move as if wind were blowing through it, and any that were sensitive to spirits would sense that there was some sort of presence around Viveka herself.
[2015/08/01 21:18:37] Viveka (themis.adasia): [eyes of truth 1/2 btw]
[2015/08/01 21:19:41] /me Morrigan growled when her line of sight was obscured. Watching the oaf that blocked her view of the going on she would creep up behind him, silent in all her movements, hiss softly, and then pass by him. Assuring she had a place from which to see, her mood improved markedly. Scrunching her body down at the sound of the whistles, peering at the woman with half lidded eyes. Almost bearing her jagged little teeth, but catching herself and calming enough to notice the increased size of the shadow that wove around from the dragon above. Her feet would prance along the cobblestone, an unwitting response to the electric excitement that conflict brought with it. Ugh, another man sought to obscure her sight line. Irritated to high heavens now, she would shift her head around cracking the bones in her neck and then move to another position, trying to gain a good view of what was happening - but one where she could flee easily if need be. Suddenly pulled from her obsessive need to watch the dramatics unfold,
[2015/08/01 21:19:41] /me Morrigan: hearing a delightful voice behind her. Turning to see Aradhelon, wiggling her fingers at him, then nearly dancing up to him, "You, oh its you, I've missed you.. " her voice slow like honey, "What a lovely dove you are, too long has it been.." of course, overdoing her affectionate greeting, forgetting that he might not recognize her in this glamour.
[2015/08/01 21:20:16] /me Gerald Baker grimaces as the woman speaks in the dragon tongue... those damn whispers and tendrils of magic burrowing into his mind, where magic is NOT meant to go. It always hurt, but... he would push that aside and turn to Vincent as the man comes close. Giving the man a wave, he would lean in and say softly to the man "Name's Gerald, new Warden. Mind lending a hand? Help make sure that noone comes near these two." gesturing to Viveka and the woman speaking draconic "Else that..." he gestures up to the dragon flying above "giant death lizard is gonna come an' try its damndest to burn and kill everything here."
[2015/08/01 21:21:00] /me Casiphia followed the pipe-smoking man out of the bookstore, seeming to hold onto the fabric at his back in some attempt to steady her walking. As slightly unstable the woman looked, there was still some cheery little grin on her face, but eyes on the ground. Obviously, she was at least a lil high here. The crowd in the square urged her to curiously look out from behind Arad, those vaguely brown eyes widened with the scene of a lady spreading big black wings. She gasped slightly, leaning up against her 'Brother, gaping and grinning drunkenly over to her. "A Dragon?" She hissed in a stage whisper. "Whatsit wantin' then? Is it looking for gold over here?" In a moment another woman walked up, staring at Morrigan for a curiously awkward amount of time, before just giggling. "Hi."
[2015/08/01 21:26:08] /me The woman shrugs. "As you like it. But it was you and yours, of this town, who failed to keep the bargain Claude Baptisé-en-Flamme proposed, necessitating these threats at all, no? Perhaps you should turn your distrust upon your fellows. The Mistress and Hers have given you no cause to doubt... but her mercy is not limitless, nor her generosity." To anyone who knew anything about the Draconic race, calling those what the dragon had shown was laughable - a Dragon is patient, and calculated, perhaps, but never generous and rarely merciful. "So do your spell, take your time, and count your blessings that she has not simply begun a cleansing."
[2015/08/01 21:38:35] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me looked to Gerald and nodded, "vincent, Guard to her Lady of Aberwyth, Member of the Aberwyth guard." he stated and would nod his head to the asking of assistance, he had a feeling this was going to get really bad, and he'd prepare himself with a simple wave of his his hand, He would coraless a shield of magic around himself and he would then turn to look to those in the square, his brows furrowed deeply left hand moving to dawn his shield, in a non threatening manner mind you, and take a sentry position and stance, looking and watching the gawkers. He sadly didnt know enough about dragons, to know that, his knowledge being very limited to the basics of dragons the fact that there was a threat to cleanse made his eyes turn up towards the dragon for a few moments before looking back down.

Her eyes taking in each figure and what they have on them, if anything of value that could catch her eye. Her eyes go to the woman that speaks of spells and this so called Mistress. A huff escaped her lips "people and there titles" she whispered shaking her head. Though as she looked up again the dragon truly caught her attention, she wondered if anyone has been able to ride one of them. It would be pretty epic if she could do that.

[2015/08/01 21:40:45] /me Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont D'or grinned, his mask producing its own set of perfectly natural looking teeth as he did so, fleshy and realistic as ever when compared to a true visage. "Oh yes, a Dragon. I am not too sure what it wants, dear, but hopefully we can find out without being burnt alive, hmmm?" He commented, but his golden eyes drifted off as he suddenly saw a woman prancing up to his form, talking softly to him in a velvety and affectionate tone... Well, he could almost feel his skin shiver under his robes, his masked expression portraying a slightly nervous but polite smile. "Hello my Lady! What can might I be able to do for you this evening? I must be of dire need if I am distracting you from this Wyrmly event! Oh ho ho ho!" He replied, his posture becoming even more straight and proper than it usually was.
[2015/08/01 21:41:44] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me's eyes would open and her chanting grew slightly louder, though still a rather hushed tone. Her eyes would now be solid white, and under the gloves, the scar on the palm of each hand would have opened up, which caused a sort of otherworldly sound because the gloves added to the pain that even opening those eyes caused. But she had worn the gloves in part because of those. She did not wish to have her freakshow of a curse seen by anyone that might have stumbled onto the scene, which seemed to have gathered quite the crowd at this point. She heard what the other woman said, and once her chanting stopped, her palms turned to face the woman, unblinking, colorless eyes would be aimed on her as well, though that may be harder to note. "It is for my own peace of mind as I have been wrestling with the thousands of ways this could end." Her voice was more monotone now, but she was monotone now, but she was far more aware of her surroundings like this than she was in an actual vision state. The eyes simply tried
[2015/08/01 21:41:44] Viveka (themis.adasia): to see through truth and lies. "I wanted to believe what the man told us and that a dragon would not go back on it's word. That Anastasia and her lot would leave Valesk, never to return, and to not harm another being on this island, but I am an ever skeptical person who has seen too much and knows there are too many possibilities. I sense great sorrow and power within this ring. If this ring is returned, do we have your word as was promised to us? You will /all/ leave and cause no harm to this island or any being on it, living or dead?" All others at this point were lost on her. She may hear them, but she paid them no attention. Her entire focus was on Anastasia's cohort.
[2015/08/01 21:44:39] /me Morrigan caste her sights to the giggling woman that seemed to follow the tree of a man around like a puppy. Her eyes narrowed at her, jealousy spiking, he was hers after all. Immediately she would bend at the waist, curling around Aradhelon, to get a better peek at the woman behind him, "Aren't you a lovely morsel, a pet.." her last few words no more than a whisper, eyes drawn up to Arad with curiosity. The dragon's minion caught Morri's attention once more, causing her to spin on the ball of her foot, watching. Having been chased by plenty of dragons in her time, of course none of it had been her fault, she would scoff loudly to the words she was hearing. Turning her head to look over her shoulder at Arad, "Well, you are what I seek over this .." wiggling a sleder finger, attached to an outstretched arm at the events before them, " boring bit of a pissing contest" having grown bored of all of the talk of power and not seeing it. Twirling back around to face Arad fully, "My eyes do twinkle at the sight
[2015/08/01 21:44:40] /me Morrigan: of you, how lovely it is..." drawing ever closer, "Do not tell me you do not recognize me..." pouting, "after our night in the wood.."

[2015/08/01 21:51:34] /me Casiphia kept eyes on the new woman, just smiling and staring over to her while slightly leaned forward up against the cloaked man's hip. Normally, being called a pet would have made her the crankiest woman alive. Hell it happened last night. But in her current state, she just gave the most giddy laugh, turning into, "I am not a pet, miiiss!~" A hand that grasped at the fabric at his side tugged it slightly, "This is my brother here, an' I don't see myself doing any barking or mewing." She was pretty much managing to completely ignore the biggest event of whatever dragon stuff was going on at a simple mention of a 'night in the wood.' She'd gasp once again, leaning forward enough to almost fall over, a foot catching herself while still holding to the cloak. "A night!" She chimed, looking up to the man in the goofiest bit of shock. "Brother I thought you where still looking for a lady, do not tell me she is yours on the side!"

The guarantee of your safety She gave was a promise that is binding when and if She chooses to follow its terms. However, She is a practical being.

Nonetheless - the words you were told are accurate. We are here for Her ring, no more. No less. Dmitri Kozlov, the thief, remains in your infirmary. If you would like, we can burn it for you to make a point - but what purpose would it serve? He was punished, for the time being. Half the globe we have traversed for this ring. We reserve one caveat to your terms - if again a thief seeks asylum here, he will learn, just as the last, that there is nowhere on this world or any other where one who dares steal from a Dragon may hide. And to add - it is impossible by

She whistles twice, and the shadow sweeps so close that its passing would is accompanied by a rush of wind. Literally seconds after Gerald Baker expresses his wish for a dragon not to land, the dragon lands atop the infirmary, sinking claws the size of a child into the roofing, its tail twisting and writhing behind it for balance. Its wings spread and with a tremendous roar, it fires a jet of flame twenty meters, perhaps more, into the nigh sky, illuminating its crimson scales in orange flame with a blue-hot core, its slitted eyes looking down upon them. Its face is impossible to read, but any who are not too busy being mystified at how, precisely, the rooftop is supporting the creatures weight may notice that a nictitating membrane covers its eyes from below for one moment, as though it is blinking at them with disinterest. The rare beast is easily the size of the tavern, though only the most well-read will

Well, he had a lot of pockets to rummage in! Who knew what could be in them! The conversation over to the side, between the two women and the man in a gold mask caused him to shake his head. This was indeed quite the night, lots to tell the captain, and lots to inform the Lady about, specially if this dragon was... well... going to make good on clesing or anything mad happened. Then the dragon landed atop the infirmary, and fire spewed from its paw like a flame thrower! His eyes shot back towards Gerald, the damn wym was breaking the law Well sorta, but what could he do, could he face that dragon down... he gulped a bit as he furrowed his brows, he needed more then himself as his shield came to bear defensively and reflexively of coarse, but never the less he seemed intent on stearing that

He took in a breath and let it out slowly and shutteringly. this was going to suuuuck. Where there wounded inside, there had to be... and he gritted his teeth. This was his job, cause lets be honest that building /couldnt/ hold the weight of something that big!

[2015/08/01 22:06:09] /me Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont D'or would seem to have his expression go blank and confused, though the smile was still there and as dumb-founded as ever. "This is.. My sister, my Lady.." He tried to explain, thankfully covered by Casi and her own explanation, however his stance perhaps even shook at her last drawing comment, his hands raising slightly in an attempt to perhaps keep them away from her while she Implied what he thought to be a scandalous event between the two of them. "My dear kind, lovely woman, I do not remember meeting a woman like you in any woods, though I appreciate the compliments on my beauty, surely!" He replied, then turning to stare at Casi with an expression of panic, his head shaking from left to right in denial. "Heavens, no! I have no women on the side! I am a gentlemen! Really! I assure you!" It seemed the accusation of being a lust-monger was enough to distract him from the Dragony affair, until said Dragon landed and breathed a torrent of flame into the sky. His eyes went wide w

[2015/08/01 22:08:34] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me actually began to smirk as the woman talked. There was a part of her down inside that was more than intrigued by them. Almost a desire to know more about them, but it was the selfish need of the curse that sparked that darker side of her that she kept hidden. The smirk had spread fully across her face by now. "I do not expect one to simply allow a thief to wander with one's property without the possibility of suffering the consequences." It was karma, after all. Just in an extreme sense. The dragon roaring seemed to snap her out of her spell phase, eyes going back to normal, whole body jumping because she had been less aware of her surroundings, and hands pulling in close to her body. Other than the initial jump, she showed no signs of fear. She was done being worried about what may happen. She was satisfied with the answers, and the additional information she received. A hand reached into one of her pouches and pulled out an intricately embroidered, folded up, purple and gold scarf. She began to
[2015/08/01 22:08:34] Viveka (themis.adasia): unfold it slowly. "I must admit that learning more about all of this nearly became an obsession...." she confessed to the woman, looking up when the scarf was unfolded enough that the ring was visible, though Vika cupped her hand to try to keep it from any additional prying eyes. Like hell she was going to let that thing get stolen again. "Till I felt it's aura for myself. Take it and leave us here in peace. Please." Her hand would extend so that the woman could take the ring, or the ring and scarf all, she didn't really care at that point. She just wanted the visions to stop haunting her in her sleep.
[2015/08/01 22:13:17] /me Gerald Baker simply frowned further as the dragon landed on the infirmary roof. Not the first time this baker's seen one, probably won't be the last... though granted, the others he saw were a little bit smaller. Maybe about the size of the infirmary, not the tavern. When it lands and lets out the stream of fire, he sighs "Just t' spite me, an' dash all my hopes n' dreams, eh?" truly, the man looked more irritated than afraid at the dragon, but... again, perhaps it's just that he's a little too dim to be afraid of a building size lizard that could snap him up in a second. He looks around at the group once more before turning his gaze back up to the dragon, watching it. If it decided to try and have a roast, he wanted to be able to start moving to shield Viv *before* the fire came, what with being slow and all. As for his pockets?! Well he's wearing very simple clothing, with a pouch on his hip presumably for storing coin in. But that would pretty much be the extent of it, aside from the iron shield on his

Almost immediately, it would seem the elven woman couldn't really ignore the dragon for too much longer as the wind of it swooping down left her in a faint wobble. And then when it landed behind them and began spewing flames up into the sky, the suddenness of being spooked by it all as well as intoxicated as all hell just sorta toppled her flat onto the pavement. In a moment she'd roll over, looking at the huge beast with a hand slapped to her forehead. And amidst the shock.. keep giggling.
[2015/08/01 22:28:23] /me A mix of reverence and fear straighten Nadia's spine, making her stand perfectly tall as she strides forward. She carefully reaches for the ring with her own silken kerchief and plucks the ring from the scarf. Carefully, so as to avoid any unseen nearby seizing it, she takes two steps and leaps, sailing directly up into the air, revealing the flight spell she had been using the entire time as she sails up and presents the ring to the dragoness. <This,> the dragoness speaks, a rumbling hiss and the accompanying spike of understanding into the minds, <Is satisfactory. My ring is returned. Let us depart.> She raises one of the four claws by which she is precariously perched atop the infirmary, too much dragon upon too little space, the roof groaning in complaint as sigils of light blaze in the night sky. A portal begins to form, translucent at first, showing a room filled in every corner with golden coins.
[2015/08/01 22:29:35] /me A moment's examination would make it apparent, soon, that the sea of gold is filled with beautifully cut gems and jewelry and lined by artworks and artifacts, magic items so strong they could be felt just by being looked upon. The sigils continue to grow, showing an ever-wider view of the tides and dunes of valuables. <We shall return to the home we left so long ago, standing above Balak as the imperious expressions of Draconic might. Never again shall Kozlov bear the fruits of his theft, and evermore shall he bear the scars he earned tonight....> A second figure upon the ground turns visible - Claude, the blue-eyed blond-haired knight, and his own flight spell begins to carry him upwards towards the portal. He holds his blade in his right hand, though his left (to the possible surprise of those who met Anastasia before) is still attached.
[2015/08/01 22:33:50] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me he looked over his shoulder towards the two, and the exchange had been observed, though he didnt see the ring directly so what he knew, probably crap as his head snapped back towards the beast trying to muster up the nerve currently and he looked from the dragon to the few around, some guard he was, he froze, and that could of been that, that could of been their life... the roof of the infirmary was groaning, and he would look up as the party of the dragon, and he would move forward twoards the folks by the infirmary, if that dragon moved it was more then likely the infirmary was going to come down... soon, though, vincent would be infront of Syl and cassi ready for the impending implosion of that infirmary and the debris that was going to follow, yes his shield ready just in case... first duty protecting those up.. or in this case, Casi who was down, yeah he was scared, but battle mage training kicked him into high gear.
[2015/08/01 22:37:59] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me felt as though a huge weight was lifted off of her the moment that ring left her hand. The horrific memories seemed to hide themselves in her mind again, calming now that the negative aura of the ring wasn't calling them forward any longer. She let out a sigh and stumbled backwards, half falling, half sitting on the bundled logs behind her, the exhaustion from lack of sleep and the casting of the spell, plus the full moon from the night before finally rushing in on her all at once. She watched as the woman flew upwards. She looked to the dragon and the portal that was being created. She had to wonder why one single trinket had meant so much. A question she would never get answered and would likely haunt her from here on out. She didn't really understand such connections to things, though she knew dragons never liked when anything at all of theirs was taken. When Claude showed, she froze again. She did note the missing hand, but more importantly, she noted the lack of silver on him. She only hoped now
[2015/08/01 22:37:59] Viveka (themis.adasia): that she had made the right choice in returning it.
[2015/08/01 22:40:20] /me Gerald Baker lets his hands drop back down to his sides as he sees the woman fly overhead, and would heave a sigh. "So, that's that then, aye?" as the dragon speaks, he would groan and raise a hand up to his head "They can't leave soon enough.." he would murmer before turning and heading into the tavern, ordering a glass of scotch from the tender. He wanted something to dull the headache
[2015/08/01 22:41:57] /me Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont D'or gazed upwards, following the Dragons flight without falter until he saw the room decked with gold. His mouth began to water, his hand rising to cover his lips, as if trying to prevent the sound of a gasp or a cry of thrill. It was certainly reminiscent of something he valued highly, and so his teeth would begin to grind with a bit of frustration. But this moment of shock, awe and nostalgia would not last, the masked Elf's attention immediately turning to Casi, who was on the ground. "Up, my dear." He urged her, attempting to try and lift her giggling body off of the ground and onto a standing state. "You will dirty your clothes." When Vincent came close, he gave him a sweet and kind smile, continuing to try and urge Casi up.
[2015/08/01 22:46:59] /me The portal completes, letting out a sort of mental 'snap' as it resolves into place. The dragon beats its wings twice before leaping forward into it, the roof creaking but not quite giving - it seemed that whatever let a creature that size fly also let it avoid being too destructive to its perches. She vanishes into the portal, followed shortly by her two living possessions - Nadia, who had never known a life outside of her training and shaping by the dragon who had clipped her family tree, and Claude, the knight whose defiance of the dragoness had been punished by a magical mark that had left him literally unable to defy her will. One could only hope that they would never again have cause to visit the isle.
[2015/08/01 22:49:22] /me Casiphia just lie there a moment, the hand on her forhead slipping over her mouth while trying to contain the fit she was having down there. While the portal that had opened up briefly took a gaze up there, wide eyed and all the more amused, like a child seeing something amazing like a dinosaur or god knows what. Her mouth hung agape up until Vincent was spotted, at the same time feeling her brother try to lift her up. She didn't really seem to help much, her feet trying to kick at the ground and find footing but otherwise sort of limply hanging in his arms while one of her own rose to wave and grin at Vincent. Eventually she found some solid way to push up a bit, though most of the 'standing' was thanks to pressing her back up against Arad while watching the portal close. A curiously blankfaced pause.. and another giggle. "Those people are strange."
[2015/08/01 22:51:34] Vincent Keene (vincent3342): /me he didnt look back so the smile was lost on him, now, after minorly getting over his fear, he was in full battle mage mode, ready to rumble and tumble he would look back over his shoulder, then looked ofrwards as the roof didnt cave, but the damage was done, and he growled, lowly, as he turned to look over his shoulder, HE wasnt prepared for this, there where NO reports with the guards about this, none, at all, and he would huff loudly as he nodded to both Casi and Syl before moving around them, and marched towards the tavern he was absolutly umprepared and caught off guard, and so, he would take a scroll out of his pouch after putting his shield away and write a report.... speaking aloud, "So what do I tell Lady Valkyrie and the captain? Buill the damage to something that cant be touched?" he said simply as he shuddered, he wasnt trying to come off as a jerk, but, this caught him off guard hard core.
[2015/08/01 22:59:51] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me watched as Gerald went inside and went straight for the booze. Oh...the sweet nectar of the gods! She could finally drown herself in it again! Once jelly legs had passed, she got up and slowly made her way into the tavern and over to Gerald where she would try to snatch whatever drink he had in his hands and drink it. She paused and looked to Vincent. She was trying her hardest to keep her normal demeanor about her but...full moon the night before....ring with her for a few nights driving her mad...fun times. "This lady was informed of the happenings with this. At least to a point. And I am fairly certain the guards were informed as well. I know the Wardens were. They know a dragon is involved." If she got the drink from Gerald, she would start to chug it down. If not...she would simply order her own from the NPC barmaid which she would chug down when she got it, before looking back to Vincent. "Besides, having to pay to repair a little bit of damage to a building is far better than what could have
[2015/08/01 22:59:51] Viveka (themis.adasia): happened. Especially if a life had been lost." She shook her head and tried to clear all the grumpies out of her head. "Sorry....it has just been a rough week and a half."
_________There were more after this where she shared the story....can share if needed....
The Language Barrier
A Portion of this is from the dragon storyweaver scenes, but this is more to focus on helping a stranger that no one else seemed to be able to.....
[2015/07/25 20:28:14] Cirden Fang: /me well his disbelief in magic didnt always coutner everything, and as such he would calm down but thought that it was his own rationality, that or he was just too sick of being irritated and frustrated to care anymore, which was worse then what it actually was, regardless he was still a little frustrated that he didnt understand their words.... and even as he was calm he didn't remove himself from under the table he stayed there curled up. then he spoke, something he rarely does infront of strange people, and that archaic broken elven washed over the room, <"I went there, to that meet and greet, everyone else was accepted with.. friendly smiles and a warm openess, to me they were bullies, the shop owner who didnt let me get bread, another pointed arrows at me the other day, and they wouldnt let me stay, I was scared, and didnt want to jsut march in there like I owned the place... I thought being timid would.... be enough... it's got to be me huh, I'm just plain old unlucky..."> his rant was over and he
[2015/07/25 20:28:14] Cirden Fang: felt worse admitting that it was him, and to him it was. he still didnt understand what was being said and couldnt see what was going on behind the bar.
[2015/07/25 20:38:17] .: /me When Gerald asks about a muffin, Bane responds gratefully, "Aye, please, lad." He finishes cutting the meat off onto the plate and he sets the knife aside; he'd turn and wait until the baker has provided a muffin -- if he has one or gets one from its place -- before he turns to head over to the table. As he walks, however, he responds thoughtfully, "Ach, weel, 'opefully ye'll be able tae open yer own business a'ain...ha'e yer own ba'ery and pull in people fra e'erywhere." And he /does/ seem to like the idea, judging by his tone. He, of course, can not understand a single word of Cirden's rant but the tone doesn't sound happy, so as the satyr leans over to slide the plate of meat and the muffin -- if one was provided -- beneath the table, he murmurs to Cirden, "Lle tyava." (Feel well.) It's one of the very, very few elven phrases he knows...one of a handful...and he probably isn't pronouncing it properly, so who knows if Cirden can understand it or not. With the plate in place, he straightens and turns to
[2015/07/25 20:38:17] .: /me move back toward the bar.
[2015/07/25 20:41:23] /me The roof of the infirmary lets out a loud impact sound and a lone shingle clatters as it falls off. Meanwhile, the cause of the noise, a blond man in light clothing that shimmers unnaturally in the dim light, lands heavily on the cobblestones leading from the infirmary door.
[2015/07/25 20:42:33] Reanna Sèitheach (reanna.lockjaw): /me was holding back the bile that wanted to spew from her mouth, trying to keep the shaking out of her limbs. She just kind of.. laid there, eyes squinted shut as those long ears twitch. She'd listen.. but didn't trust her lips to not puke all over the small doctor.
[2015/07/25 20:42:35] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me looked between the infirmary and the tavern. Cy or alcohol. That was a tough debate. But since Cy hadn't been there last she looked, she assumed her friend wasn't now so she headed for the tavern instead, immediately lifting her hand and pointing at Gerald with a stern look on her as if to warn him to not call her lady, but it quickly faded into a smile and a wave. "How are you today Gerald? In other words, is there any more of that cake from yesterday that absolutely made my evening? She would smile and lift a hand to wave at Baneberry as well. "You seemed to enjoy the story earlier today. It was beautifully told, wasn't it?" she asked. As for the elf under the table, she did not immediately realize that he was there, otherwise she would have offered him a greeting as well.
[2015/07/25 20:49:37] /me Gerald Baker looks to the man down under the table as he starts ranting in some foreign language. A muffin was indeed taken from where it was stored away and set on the plate. A nice, fluffy, brown muffin filled with blueberries. "Maybe..." he says in answer to Bane "I'd managed to save up... what was it, about ten gold before... before I lost it all." he frowns, then shrugs "Aw well, make good decisions and save, maybe in a year or so I can get a bakery t' supply the whole land with tasty treats." he grins at the thought "Maybe... get a *real* oven, instead of that tiny hot cupboard I had before." as Viveka makes her way into the tavern, he would wave to her, saying "Evening, Lady Vik." he gives her a cheeky grin, before nodding and turning to cut a slice from the loaf of rum cake. He sets the slice on a small plate and puts it down in front of her, then points to Bane, saying "Ask him how much for the cake... 's his tavern, not mine."
[2015/07/25 20:53:15] Cirden Fang: /me of coarse the shoe were on the other foot when it come to him speaking, no one understood him, and he looked to the plate of meat and the muffin, the word that was said, all he could really pick up was 'well' and that was it as he looked back to the food and his hand calloused from his countless hours of bow practice and everything else reached for the plate and would indeed grip it and pull it over under the table with him, and he'd pick at the meat.
Another that was there, at that get together, that he didnt know walked in, he sniffed and he curled up no longer picking at the meat but genuinely afraid that she might have been part of well, them.... here to come do something more to him, and he scooted back a little more, trying to be out of sight of the woman who had entered forgetting about the food entirely, well okay not entirely, as he reached for it to drag the plate back to his new location.
He seemed to be very Weary of people, as Bane stood up he sighed, again in that broken archaic elven,
[2015/07/25 20:53:15] Cirden Fang: <"You understand?"> His voice slightly hopeful, not knowing if he'd get a response or not, but he had spoken a bit of elvish... right... so he had to, Fawman just had to know what he was saying.
[2015/07/25 20:58:51] .: /me Alas, there is no response from Bane; the fae does not know the archaic tongue. The satyr simply smiles warmly at Cirden before heading back to the bar. Gerald's words on saving up and getting a bakery, and one with a /real/ oven at that, is met with a warm smile from Bane. "Aye," the satyr responds encouragingly, leaning an elbow against the edge of the bar as his tail flicks absent-mindedly. " 'Eep yer goal in yer mind, lad, and 'eep wor'in' fra it...and ye'll ha'e a smashin' gud ba'ery in nae 'ime." Well, for a being who can live up to 2,000 years, it'd be 'no time'. Hopefully it'd seem that way to the human too. As Viveka enters and mentions cake, his eyes go a bit round and he leans a bit toward the baker. "Will ye git me a slice, tae?" he asks, voice lowering to a hopeful whisper. His eyes widen in a cow-eyed expression, orbs big and soft and shining as he stares at Gerald. He seems to have forgotten that the man is his employee and he can just simply /tell/ him to get him a slice. Viv's question
[2015/07/25 20:58:51] .: /me distracts him from that heart-melting large-eyed gaze, which is broken from the baker as Bane swivels his head toward the woman. "Aye, 't'wuz," he agrees.
[2015/07/25 21:00:27] /me Viveka smiled and bit her lip as she approached the bar. "Oh, so you just take whatever the crazy old bat took out of my pouch....I had my pouch on last night, right? Still not quite sure what I had on. You take whatever she forks over without even knowing yourself, huh?" Then again, she wasn't even sure how much Wylla had put down to be honest. No one yelled at her that it wasn't enough. She was about to take a bite when she saw Bane's eyes go big and wide and she had to stop. "Awww! You look adorable like that!" She giggled and went to take a bite again but then she heard the other voice and looked in the general direction that it came from. She blinked a few times and then bent forward to look under the tables, seeing pieces of a person from between legs of tables and chairs. A brow quirked and she looked back at Gerald as if it were his fault, but then back to the man under the table who seemed to speak Elven at Baneberry. <"Why are you hiding under the table?"> she would ask, not realizing that he on
[2015/07/25 21:00:28] /me Viveka: spoke broken Elven.
[2015/07/25 21:00:38] Viveka (themis.adasia): that he only spoke*
[2015/07/25 21:03:14] /me Gerald Baker laughs at Bane's response to the talk of cake, and would cut him a slice too. It wasn't your normal cake, being baked into a loaf instead of in a round cake tin... but the consistency was that of cake. He sets the plate down for Bane, saying "Here ye are, lad. Rum cake, one of the best kinds of cakes out there." then to Viveka he nods, grinning "Aye, pretty much. I've been told I bake like a god... but I ain't the best at makin' good business decisions." he laughs
[2015/07/25 21:07:58] Abassi: /me scratched at her stomach as she sauntered through the village in source of entertainment in the later hours. Sleep wasn't much a worry at this point and with the Keep locked down, most away in their dreams -- other than guards of course -- it was time to take some time for herself. The tavern was always a bustling place of amusement. There was food and booze as well. It was just a happening place and that is where her feet took her first. Stepping into the establishment, a smile crawled across her scarred features and those silver hues rested on the one known as Baneberry. Familiar faces! "Jerry!" she called out in greeting and reached out to grab the back of a chair, pulling it out and slumping down into it. " And company." There was a slight acknowledgment to the rest however the presence of the one in hiding at this moment eluded her.
[2015/07/25 21:10:14] Cirden Fang: /me the smile that was received didnt help his self and then he closed his eyes again as he looked away, a little, disheartened that he didnt get a response. He sicked in a breath and let out a soft whine, like a hurt or lost dog, An it was true he was feeling a little lost at this moment. He couldnt understand the words being passed around him, and it made him feel isolated that is till some one spoke, and he couldnt see who he was talking too so in that broken elvish of his that was old and might be unused and not very understandable, <"Hiding from the wolven bullies. An possibly the rest of the world concidering I cant understand whats being said around me."> thats how he saw them sadly, and it dawned on him that some one spoke to him and he looked over peering out and cringed at who spoke towards him.
Then the yell in that strange language and he jumped knocking his head on the table... and he seethed a bit and cringed at the pain, well this night was just not his best.
[2015/07/25 21:11:19] .: /me When Viveka states that he looked adorable with that expression, for a moment Bane appears as pleased as punch. "Thankee," he responds a bit bashfully, a hand raising to rub at the base of one of his antlers. When a slice of cake is placed before him, he nearly /falls/ on it as he drags the saucer closer to himself. "Ah apprecia'e it," he states to Gerald sincerely, though his eyes are only on that Delicious. Looking. Cake. Someone has a sweet tooth, clearly. He picks up the slice between his fingers since it's basically like a bread slice in shape...though he has to hold it carefully so it does not fall apart in his hands..., though he murmurs in the baker's direction, "Ach, neithae am Ah. Jest git someone ye 'an trus' tae 'andle t'financesae it all." He admits, "Ah'm nah gud a' busyness decisions eithae; Soh-lull 'andles all tha'." Though it's a mystery to Bane as to whether or not Gerald has met Solyl the elusive tavern manager yet. As Viv begins speaking elvish to Cirden, he glances at her. " 'E seeme
[2015/07/25 21:11:20] .: /me purty upse' earlier, lass. Mebbe ye should as' 'im if 'e's awrigh'." With that said, he raises his cake to his mouth to sink into it, annnnd...Abassi comes walking in and calls out to him. He can't let go of the cake lest it fall apart, so his tail merely raises to waggle in her direction in something akin to a wave.
[2015/07/25 21:11:26] .: /me seemed*
[2015/07/25 21:17:35] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me smiled to Bane when he responded to her. "People use to wonder why I had a goat friend once upon a time." She lifts a hand to point at him. "That right there is why. Though admittedly it is a bit more precious on a person's face, but it was still the same as Djali in it's own little way!" She turned and looked to the one that came in and offered a rather expressive bow to the woman. "Evening!" she would say to her and then look back to the one hiding under the table, stepping to the side a bit to get a better look. <"Why are you afraid of the wolves? They aren't as violent as some. The alpha here seems to make sure everyone knows that she tries to lead a peaceful pack. Of course it can't always be helped. There is a rage inside that can't always be tamed. Did one hurt you?"> she would ask, only hoping he could understand enough of it seeing as his own was quite broken. She frowned when Bane said that he'd seemed quite upset. <"Don't worry, no one here will hurt you. Well, not unless you hurt them
[2015/07/25 21:17:35] Viveka (themis.adasia): first I'd say. You can come out.">
[2015/07/25 21:23:28] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me totally meant to wink at Bane too but herpderped -_-))
[2015/07/25 21:26:12] /me Gerald Baker waves to the woman that just entered, saying "Hello there, miss! Welcome, have a seat, have a drink, have a ball, I don't care." he chuckles, then nods to Bane "No problem, boss. I hope you like it... and yes, thanks for that. I'll have to find an accountant t' deal with that shit for me. Oh if only I had one of those in the last bakery. Instead I had a fae who liked making spiked cookies, and who guarded the day old muffins like a dog guards its food bowl."
[2015/07/25 21:30:19] Abassi: /me raised her brows as the woman began to speak to one not seen and pulled the pipe from her mouth, craning her head to peer under the tables. "Oi, Why da man always be hidin'? " she pointed to the fellow and glanced between the occupants. A nod was extended to the man behind the bar before a small chuckle escaped her at the sight of Bane eating his cake. "Dun eat it ta fast dere' boyo', ya might choke." Aba teased before waving her hand as she settled back again, replacing the pipe to her lips. " Can I get a drink? Sum'tin strong?"
[2015/07/25 21:32:46] Cirden Fang: /me Indeed upset and frustrated. He then sighed softly as he was approached, still rubbing his head from that little jaunt into the table, he had hoped he wouldnt be, because well, to be truthful, he was scared. Even though Banes spell stopped him from really acting to scared, but we'd see how long that lasted... He then shrugged, he could understand parts of what she was saying enough to respond.
<"They have been nothing but mean, the shop owner... I went to get bread and she growled and didnt let me get bread till I left the front of her shop, then another I went to find a place to rest out in the Wayward and she pointed arrows at me because I was in front of her den... then today, which from what I understood was supposed to be a peaceful thing, I was scared to go down or approach openly, and they chased me off. everyone was yelling something and I just couldnt understand.. I feel estranged."> it was true he did, and he felt like the world was out to get him.
She continued to say that no one would hurt
[2015/07/25 21:32:46] Cirden Fang: him, <"I feel safer under here. Thank you."> Maybe he should have rushed to the Wayward, hidden in the hutt he called his own. lots of things he could have done but instead he came here. He was pointed at and he noticed, he couldnt understand what was being said at him and he cringed thinking the words coming out of Abassi's mouth about him were bad things, language barriers sucked a little
[2015/07/25 21:35:27] .: /me Viv's comment on goats is met with a chuckle from Baneberry, though he can not reply since he's chowing down on the cake slice. He leaves her to tend to Cirden while he finishes the cake and once it's gone, he stares at his empty saucer. He then glances over to where Viveka's cake slice is sitting...back to his empty saucer...to her slice...back to his saucer...then back to her slice for another long stare. At last, he raises a hand to lightly rub at his face as he turns toward Gerald, the 'fae' comment dragging his attention away from Viv's cake. "Aye, 't'is fun tae dae," he states at the mention of spiked cookies. "Fae-touchin' food and watchin' t'effec's on people is funneh." And he grins before he adds, "Ah dun dae tha',
[2015/07/25 21:35:34] Baneberry (baneberry1): (Hit enter too soon.)
[2015/07/25 21:38:16] .: /me Viv's comment on goats is met with a chuckle from Baneberry, though he can not reply since he's chowing down on the cake slice. He leaves her to tend to Cirden while he finishes the cake and once it's gone, he stares at his empty saucer. He then glances over to where Viveka's cake slice is sitting...back to his empty saucer...to her slice...back to his saucer...then back to her slice for another long stare.

And he grins before he adds, "Ah dun dae tha', though, nah withoout permission fra 'em furst, so dun worreh aboout tha'." He nods toward Aba at her request for booze and at that moment a NPC bar wench comes in, and he gestures to her. "Please git 'er a s'rong drin', lass," he states, and the NPC moves to do so. Bane himself
[2015/07/25 21:38:16] .: /me clip-clops toward the direction of the tavern. "Ah need tae che' on mah lad. Ha'e a gud nigh', ladies and gents."
[2015/07/25 21:39:16] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me considered what the elf was saying, as best as he could considering it was chopped up. <"Out of curiosity....were you going to pay for the bread?"> she asked as pleasantly as possible, without trying to sound as though she were implying he was a thief. <"Owners tend to only get angry when one is taking something without paying, damaging things or harassing their employees or other customers."> She at least knew which was the shop owner was, but only figured that out today. She was a firecracker, but she had not exactly seen her under the best of circumstances both times their paths crossed. <"Are you sure that the one that pointed an arrow at you was a wolf? And the thing today? You mean the telling of the story? I don't even remember you there. Who shoo'ed you off?"> She saw who he looked back to the woman when he glanced her way as well. "He's just scared. Apparently not had the best of luck here. Can't say mine has been /too/ much better some days." She would lift a hand and wave to Bane as he left
[2015/07/25 21:39:16] Viveka (themis.adasia): but look back to the elf under the table. <"Safe to assume you know nothing but Elven?">
[2015/07/25 21:46:46] Abassi: /me stretched and awaited the booze. When it got there, her meerschaum was laid on the table and she waved a goodbye to the satyr. " Farewell Lane!" she brought the tankard to her lips and sucked down a few gulps of the alcohol. Her eyes met the elf's figure again as she replied to her previous inquiry and the woman looked genuinely curious. " Hmm? Really? Da people ere' seem prettah laid back ta me. Da' creature on da othah hand.. mmm nah sa much. Anytin' a ol' Warden can do fah ya both?"
[2015/07/25 21:52:47] /me Gerald Baker turns about, humming as he takes a fresh loaf of bread out of the oven and sets it on the back counter to cool. The guy under the table was being dealt with, people were eating and drinking and having a jolly time, and he's getting a new pony for christmas. All is right with the world. So, he would turn about and pour himself a flagon of mead, of which he takes a swig, much to the irritation of the bartender, because he did not *ask* for said mead.
[2015/07/25 21:53:32] Cirden Fang: /me he looked out to her and nodded, <"Every intention I have money to pay for my food, I have no reason to steal."> He had six copper brea had been made out at four, and he sighed softly shrugging a little more. As bane left he watched the only person he 'knew' leave and he felt a little, well more alone, then he nodded, <"Her friend that was with her, said she was Gahroo, he spoe elven.... and tried to explain what a Gahroo was."> yeah he was a LOONG way from home.
This is when he looked up a little hurt, <"After those experiences I was more scared about going to this story telling, I was on the cliff deciding if I wanted to go down or not, and there was a woman talking a lot, I couldn't understand her.... then left to make my final decision, I timidly came down the rock face, and behind some crates, and then that shop owner growled and some guy, with straps over his chest pushed me and growled I know body language and it wasn't good... the growls were... warnings and I left..."> He then looked away.
[2015/07/25 21:53:32] Cirden Fang:
He hated looking weak, but in this case, he was, he was out of his element and away from the people he cared for, with no way of doing anything, <"The few friends I've made, if you would call them that, speak elvish. Other then Fawman who's been nice to me. So yes, this as well as body language are all I know."> unknowingly putting it out there what he slightly was.
[2015/07/25 21:58:43] /me Viveka listened carefully to everything the man said, the woman's question not going unnoticed either. She would hold up a finger to him as if to say one moment, and she looked to the woman. "Not sure about helping with him, but Gerald knows of a situation someone may need some help with if you could talk to him about it, perhaps? I would but.....it seems I am the only one here able to understand." She looked back to the elf under the table sympathetically. <"You must have come back after I left. Maybe I can speak with the shop owner and see what the problem was. If one is riled, all will rile. It is pack mentality. They are like family to one another and loyal to the core."> She debated whether or not she should even tell what she was. Right now he seemed calm, and telling him may ruin that. Then again, if he ever found out, it would be like a betrayal possibly and only make matters worse. <"Have I given you any reason to fear me?">
[2015/07/25 22:08:35] /me Gerald Baker would just look back and forth between the two, since the other woman left. Did he know what's going on? Nope. Did he overly care? Not really. Was it the only real source of entertainment available right now? No, actually. Turning, he would grin as he pulls a drawer out and rummages around, finding two spoons. He would then, well... stoop down a little, and begin playing the spoons on his knee.
[2015/07/25 22:17:40] Abassi: /me just kinda dozed off for a second. Or she had to really use the bathroom.. either way, blame the booze and she returned swiftly! The Harbinger looked to the man as her attention was directed to him and tilted her head slightly. "Yeah?" she rose from her chair and stretched, nonchalantly emptying the ashes from her bowl and abandoning the half drank tankard on the table as the memory of it was replaced by new. " Whatcha got dat da Warden's can help ya wit? I am Abassi, newest appointed leadah of da Keep. We are happeh ta help our island's people."
[2015/07/25 22:19:41] Cirden Fang: /me it was a sticky situation, <"Maybe the shop keeper was in her right, she growled first, and I growled back, I was hungry though.. it turned into a staring and match till a friends scent caught my nose and I moved to go find them..."> he shrugged a little more, <"No reason to be mean when at least to my understanding, all differences were meant to be put aside, they broke their word, and as such are nothing more then bullies when all others are accepted."> he frowned a little at her question, <"no you haven't, but, you look like me, then again, so did the gahroo, it is... very confusing."> He whined a little, then he heard the spoons being played on the mans knee, and he tilted his head to the side at the sound. Before looking at the woman speaking to him, in truth he couldnt understand what was being said around him so it hardly interested him, never the less though he kept his eyes peeled at the movement very weary and cautious of it all.
[2015/07/25 22:25:05] /me Viveka let out a long sigh. It was indeed a tricky situation. <"Perhaps there is a simple misunderstanding then. I will try to speak with her and see what the problem was. As to why they would attack at the story telling, I do not know. Well I am unsure why the store owner would, I understand why the other did after the store owner got riled."> Now it was even more troublesome whether she should admit it or not. She rubbed her hand over her face and just went with it. <"If I have given you no reason to fear me, and trust me, I am no fighter by any means. I am a spiritualist. I believe that all spirits have the right to live and be treated with respect. But if I have given you no reason, then I should be proof that not all of these wolves are mean. Granted I rarely join packs because most I have come across are not so kind as the ones I have met here. But I genuinely believe that they mean no harm unless they feel threatened. There is likely simply a misunderstanding between you and the shop owner. Perhaps
[2015/07/25 22:25:06] /me Viveka: was simply a scent or something that triggered her reaction to you.">
[2015/07/25 22:25:13] Viveka (themis.adasia): perhaps it was*
[2015/07/25 22:25:49] /me Gerald Baker looks up from his playing of the spoons, doing a rendition of Camp Town Lady... and turns his attention to Abassi, asking "Huh?" before remembering the ring. "Ooh! Aye, well I'm sure you heard about the torture victim, aye? If not, well... a man was severely tortured, from what I hear he was healed and tortured again after... well, he was brought in an' thrown on th' tavern floor by some rather nasty bloke... the one that did the torturing, I assume. Now, I don't know the whole story, but I know that this was all done for a ring. Th' ring is some kind of magical thing, an' the nasty man wants it for nasty reasons. The ring in question is held by one o' our employees. A black haired elf lass named Chione. Was wondering if there might be somethin' you could do about guarding her, or... maybe taking the ring and securing it? Idunno, that's up to you lot, but... the woman's in danger right now, and there ain't much can be done by jus' me."
[2015/07/25 22:31:51] /me The man in red shakes his head back and forth, his ponytail brushing against his blade. The barest hint of a coating of pure silver is apparent on it. "Is the baneblood who swore herself here? I have not seen the woman I have sought, and time grows short." He stands outside the tavern, more than aware that he's far from welcome there.
[2015/07/25 22:34:57] /me Sheara was exploring and she had finally stepped out of the woods and nature surrounding the village to see this village she was told of. Eyes had been downcast on the cobblestones - was this what the guy had referred to as 'rocks' under his feet? Her attention was pulled away from these 'stones' as she heard a man pipe up and her eyes cut to the man seeming to talk to someone inside a building but opting to holler his questions inside rather than to just.. Step inside for whatever reason. Curiously Sheara leaned forward, looked at the man, then swiveled her head to peer inside the building in an attempt to see who or what he was talking to, and if they could provide information on the whereabouts of his mystery woman.
[2015/07/25 22:40:54] Abassi: /me leaned against the table as he drummed and almost forgot what the hell they were even discussing but there was remembrance as he began to speak, explaining the situation. " A ring?" she blinked and scratched at her cheek as the powerful object did tickle her fancy... if not for the Wardens then for herself. " I can get ta investigatin' it. Da woman ya talkin' about I might of met her da othah day." The harbinger stepped back to think and chewed at her lip. " Do ya know da one who was torchad?" her thick accent breaking down the common word's pronunciations but seemed completely oblivious. "Or da one who did da torcharing?"
[2015/07/25 22:41:42] Cirden Fang: /me he he looked towards her and tilted his head to the side shrugging his shoulders a little, <"I dont know, but I figgure it's me."> he said with another tell tale shrug... and then as she spoke after rubbing her hand over her face, he rose a brow, <"Ah what? Dont go talking voodoo mojo jo jo on me now... I honestly dont believe in what ever reality warping beliefs you are, reality is what it is."> ignorant too the last beat. Was a big flaw of his alright, he didnt believe at all that magic or magical creatures honestly existed.
<"But you are correct everyone should be treated the same, so you are lythari then?"> he said as he looked to her, and blinks, cause thats what he was, she had pointed ears and everything, yep yep. Then Gerald spoke a word, a single word he undersood in Common, Chione, <"What about Chione?"> he said more loudly, it was one of his few friends, and he then peeked up over the table, before settling down becuase it was rude not to be at the eye level of the person talking to you
[2015/07/25 22:41:42] Cirden Fang: atleast...
the voice from outside caught his attention next, and he tilted his head to the side a little, wondering what was going on or being said, he felt it was important, atleast a little, before a familiar scent wafted at him, Sheara? HE sniffed again, blinking slightly before looking back to Viveka.
[2015/07/25 22:45:19] /me Gerald Baker stopped the discussion with the warden as he heard someone yell at the tavern, and would lean over, peering outside... he'd then grimace at the man he saw... leaning back over to Abassi, he would point outside, saying softly "That... would be th' guy that did the torturing." he growls and looks to the NPC barmaid, saying "I'm offa work for the night." he steps out from behind the counter, looking to Viveka "Vik, get behind the counter. Now. Bring 'im with you." jerking a thumb to the guy under the table
[2015/07/25 22:45:44] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me let out another huff of air. She'd been spoiled lately by talking about the umbra with Cy. <"It isn't really voodoo. It is simply that I can speak with the spirits of the departed."> Before she could answer the question about lythari, she heard another man speak. She instantly freezes up, her eyes growing rather wide. She had a higher than average weakness to silver and she could just sense it in the air, her skin feeling as though it were crawling. Her breath hitched in her throat and her head slowly turned to the figure outside the tavern. She felt even more helpless now than she had the night before at the fae party. Her mouth opened and she tried to talk, but it only came out in a squeak before she took a page out of the hidden elf's playbook and moved to scamper behind and under the bar unless stopped.
[2015/07/25 22:54:04] Abassi: /me cleared her throat as the elven one scurried behind the counter and the man growled in her ear before directing them to such. She turned on her heels to pinpoint the person in question and narrowed her eyes. "Oh some fun tah'night?" the redhead mused and wrinkled her nose though she honestly held some respect for the art of torture, for now laws were laws and she had to do her best to uphold them -- to blend in at least. The woman adjusted her gloves and nodded to Gerald before approaching the one outside. "Ah good day sir, mind if ya have a word wit me ere?"
[2015/07/25 22:54:59] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me amends her post really fast since Gerald jumped her and she didn't see it to gesture to Cirden to follow her.
[2015/07/25 23:00:05] /me The man in red taps his feet upon the pavement. His blade rests heavy upon his back, tainting the air with its pernicious argent fumes, a gnawing emptiness and hunger from the blade itself nearly able to be felt in the minds of those who could lay eyes upon it. "The hand of the belltower shall soon be a clenched fist." He shows his empty hands, arms spread wide, a morose look upon his face. "Seven days' grace I promised, and six have been ill-spent. I cannot soothe Her temper forever. But if your words might avert the fires, I shall listen gladly. All She demands is the return of the Blood Ruby - the thief may be left unpunished if that is done, if you so like. But what has been taken must be restored."
[2015/07/25 23:01:27] Enchanted: entered chat range (19.64 m).
[2015/07/25 23:03:49] /me Sheara was quite unaware she was now a walking beacon to Cirden and she herself had been quite oblivious to his presence. There was chattering from inside the building, which seemed to turn rather.. grim? Sheara stood right back up and straightened her back when a woman stepped out from the tavern and faced the man, then her head turned to gaze at the man and the sword on his back. Something had been stolen, it seemed and the deadline was soon due. Perhaps this had been an ill time to explore the village but curious as she was, the Elf stood her ground as a spectator, eyes sweeping from the male to the female like she was watching a tennis match of sorts.
[2015/07/25 23:08:09] Cirden Fang: /me you just know the bad stuff is going down when a lythari hits the deck after some one speaks. it was pretty bad, yes he was confusing her races, and then he looked out the door once more, and then to Gerald who seemed agitated. Something was going on and he didnt like it! Worst of all some one he knew was outside with some one who was probably in the way of this mess, his eyes looked towards Viv as she had indeed gestured to follow her, now the question was would he retreat, or advance.
Gerald had moved towards the door and the strange woman had started out of it talking to the person outside and he furrowed his brows, not understanding what was going on in the least.. He didnt see Sheara and had hoped she was smart enough to just run away, he would indeed dive behind the bar, if only for added cover, and to protect the person who, well, had talked to him, he put his back against the bar and hw as shouler to shoulder with Viv, soon though Cir reached for his bow, and draw it out, uncolapse it, and
[2015/07/25 23:08:09] Cirden Fang: start to string it, which would take a few moments, he was ready to hear the sounds of combat at any moment... and it was to say the least, gut-wrenching. He gulped and drew in a breath trying to steady his shaking hands while stringing.
[2015/07/25 23:12:01] /me Viveka saw what Cirden was doing and reached a hand out to try to stop him. She would shake her head no if he looked to her. <"He is not challenging them, only giving warning that a deadline is nearly up."> To her, there was no need to cause more commotion than had already been caused. Not to mention, if that arrow got fired, the wrath could likely come their way and she wanted nowhere near the silver that she knew that man had. She lifted her head and peaked over, hearing what was going on, and at least having some puzzle pieces put together about the whole thing. "Ask him her intent with the ring!" she whispered loudly, hopefully loud enough for Gerald to hear her.
[2015/07/25 23:12:24] Cirden Fang: left chat range.
[2015/07/25 23:13:47] /me Gerald Baker follows the warden out and would stand by the entrance, ready to intervene should this encounter come to violence. To what end, he doesn't know, but hopefully a good one. Right now, his biggest concern is making sure none of the patrons get hurt. Second was figuring out what the hell was going on, exactly. Hearing Viveka, he would nod, and call out to the man "And what will happen if either of you gets the ring? How are we to know that you'll just up and leave if we hand it over to you, as though nothing had ever happened?"
[2015/07/25 23:21:59] Abassi: /me 's silver hues passed over the growing audience and inhaled deeply. Nervous? No. Curious? A little. Wanting to return to her drugs and alcohol? Of course. She wet her lips and listened to the man speak, glancing to the other as he retorted with a legitimate inquiry. " Oi, ya? Da ring has been stolen and instead of goin' ta the law... ya threaten ta burn da tavern." She paused, props to this guy and certain question came to mind though it was withheld for reasons. " Da Warden's will allow nan of dat nonsense 'ere, boyo. Sa lets talk about dis ring den. Why is it sa important and if it's sa powerful why should I return it ta ya? Can trust ya wit da threats ya spewin'"
[2015/07/25 23:22:39] Taegen V'hoori (alyxz.marenwolf): Can't *
[2015/07/25 23:31:39] /me The man takes a deep breath and speaks Draconic - a language not of words, but of thoughts themselves, shaped in hisses and magic to echo in the mind, pressing meaning and understanding directly into the mind. <We will leave when, and only when, we have it. Deserts of glass, seas, fields, and mountains we have traversed. Never shall my Mistress rest until that which is Hers has been restored. Fire is Her birthright. Thrice I opposed Her, and thrice I broke, like water upon the face of a cliff. Her power is absolute, Her will unopposed by any might of mortals. This one was chosen, stolen from Her, a token of Her past conquests. She will suffer the defiance of the man only out of a desire to return to our homeland - or was the mercy of letting him live wasted?> He rubs the ink and the soreness upon his concealed wrist through his sleeve. <To steal from a dragon and be allowed to live is saintly mercy - I pray thee, do not squander it.>
[2015/07/25 23:36:29] /me Sheara didn't seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation because for one, she had zero clue what was going on and two, she assumed it was just a storm in a glass of water. Would shit hit the fan however, she'd be out of there faster than a Prom dress hit the floor. A brow rose in mild amusement at the woman's accent And then, the other brow joined to rise up to her hairline as the man started to speak in a language she didn't quite recognizeand her eyes rested on the man who rubbed at his wrist, those brows lowered again and she studied him intently. From afar, of course.
[2015/07/25 23:38:43] Cirden Fang: /me he haddnt even knocked an arrow yet, he was just stringing the bow and he looked towards Viv <"What?"> he said quietly, as he growled lowly, he had to wait and calm that anxiousness his hand was still shaking as he laid the bow in his lap watching Viveka, <"Get down..."> he said to her again whisperingly, if anything was going to happen, things would happen anyway, and he'd be waiting for them too first before he decided to do anything drastic, this was just a precautionary measure... after all his trust in the world around him wasn't there. yep indeed he couldnd recognize the language... or know what was going on, so he stayed where he was breathing slightly more so to help calm himself
[2015/07/25 23:45:11] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me didn't always know when to keep herself hidden, and momentarily forgot how even more serious the situation felt for her with the silver so near. She rose and looked to the man, and before she could stupidly say the name Anastasia aloud, her hand shot over her mouth, eyes went wide and she ducked back down in a little ball behind the counter. Her heart was racing and she was sweating more now. There was no way she could possibly hide further under the bar at this point. She took a deep breath to try to steady herself. "So we have her word that she would not harm anyone or anything on this island, ever, if her ring were returned to her? What about others? Does she plan to harm anyone with it?" Of course the spirit freak would have a problem knowing that they were responsible for the death of others if the ring were returned.
[2015/07/25 23:47:11] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me totally called that out loudly from her hiding place and forgot to add it in because late and stuff.
[2015/07/25 23:51:32] /me Gerald Baker brings a hand up to his head as the man starts talking with magic. For a man with no magical aptitude whatsoever, it felt like his brain was being assaulted. He growls a bit before saying "Enough with that DAMN hoodoo!" to the man "Not necessary in the least." he then points to the counter where Viveka was hiding, saying "What she said... if we have that dragon's word, we can get the damn thing tomorrow." he grumbles "Know I can't trust one of them fire breathing lizards any further than I can throw it, but I suppose that's the best we'll get."
[2015/07/25 23:55:46] Abassi: /me snorted, " A dragon? Da giant liza'rd creachas?" she shook her head as the draconic mindspeak disoriented her, "I aint seen na beast of da sort for many years. Ya say ya mastah is one... Interestin'" her tongue clicked with the roof of her mouth and she looked to Gerald who was taking this a bit more heavily than herself. " Listen 'ere boyo. Tell da girly, what was 'er name den... Da tavern girl. Ya tell 'er ta come ta da keep.. . first ting tamorrah. If there is ta be a trade off... let da Wardens help and keep et away from da city... I doubt da guard will provide any protection. We will keep da girl safe... I dun trust na lizard."
[2015/07/26 00:05:08] /me The man nods towards the bar. <Seven days were given under those terms. Seven and no more. I am bound to serve Her, regardless of my own feelings, which in turn allows me to negotiate and bargain in Her name. You are wise to distrust, however... while She owes us nothing, She chooses to conduct herself with what we would loosely call honor and sincerity because it benefits Her.> The man rubs his head, and for the first moment his stern visage falters - he looks for the barest moment not vicious, not powerful, not the representative of a dangerous immortal. For one split second, he just looks like an incredibly weary man, bearing the weight of too many lives despite his slavery. "She shan't appear in Her own right unless there is betrayal - I and Her servant, Nadia, will oversee. You will know the other by the markings upon her face. When the Blood Ruby is given over, never again shall you see nor hear from us nor our Mistress again."
[2015/07/26 00:06:23] /me Sheara silently worded the words the man with the large sword said, a mild frown covering her features in an attempt to figure out the riddle he spoke in. Not only that, it felt like her brain was swimming in jelly to the magically challenged Elf the way those magic inclined words penetrated that gray mass. Her head snapped to the seemingly empty tavern when something was shouted from a hiding place or something because she couldn't see a living soul inside. All this talk of dragons had the curious Elf tilt her head back and look up to the darkened skies as if expecting a fire-breathing dragon to fly over their heads right on cue. But alas. Her neck remained craned and the sky remained darkened without the glorious appearanc of a dragonbeast.
[2015/07/26 00:07:57] Cirden Fang: /me well there she went ducking down and speaking Common again and he blinked a bit this didnt give him an update but the fact that he /could/ understand the language, which of coarse, he thought could be elven but it wasnt, and he didnt like this sorta game and it made him scared and fearful, in which he then drew a single arrow out and laid it to the right. then people where yelling! And that made him tense up a bit and then he would take in a slow breath, and let it out, and in again to make his hand stop shaking. He bit his lower lip as he waited, for the worst, for the absolute worst. but his mind was just, swimming and he frowned a bit at it... the blurr in his mind was clouding a bit of judgement but it was there enough for him not to fire at all he then turned to look at Viv.
[2015/07/26 00:09:58] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me wasn't so sure that the right decision was being made. She was still tucked away under the bar, even shaking to this point. She really wanted that silver away from here. Even at that distance, just knowing it was there was doing her in. She was almost ready to cry because on top of it all, talk of the ring had been making her shoulder throb again. She wanted to be done with it all to make it stop. In her mind, she knew she should have cast the spell to help her tell if the man was lying, but she didn't want someone to sense it and mistake it for an attack, and she couldn't will herself to come out of hiding again to prove that she wasn't meaning harm, but somehow she felt like she could. Though the question of whether or not others would be hurt wasn't answered. She glanced up to Cirden, seeing his hand shaking and how rigid his muscles were. For a moment she had forgotten that he could not understand. <"It is a complicated story. Don't worry. He won't harm anyone,"> she said softly and as a lot more
[2015/07/26 00:09:58] Viveka (themis.adasia): calmly than her own mind felt. She would be better when the silver was gone.
[2015/07/26 00:12:30] /me Nocika Múdrost: followed after the blonde elf boy in front of him mumbling a bit 'slow down ..how can you still have energy after being on the ship that long...' he sounded tried and grumpy, after having spent months at sea, what he wouldn't give for a comfy fire or wine. as he tries to keep up with the younger elf.
[2015/07/26 00:14:52] /me Gerald Baker grunts "A Dragon that uses honor... seems a mite far-fetched fer my tastes, but we'll see. I'll let her know t' get over to the warden keep, an' we'll see how this all plays out. Worse comes to worst, I'll just have t' stand in the way again." he folds his arms over his chest, arms that bore the scars of dragon flame. He looks around then and shrugs "If that's all, I'll be heading to get some sleep."
[2015/07/26 00:20:45] /me Blesk Blackwell: seemed haggard himself but he just kept on going, he wasn't paying a single bit of attention to the people ahead, he had one thing on his mind, a place to pass out. he sees the sign of a tavern and would sigh relievedly. "about damn time we came across a Tavern..." he would say with a tired and blackened circle under his eye. he would walk towards it and without meaning too he would possibly accidentally bump into female Elf, she was right out of his line of sight.
[2015/07/26 00:23:41] Abassi: /me glanced back at the counter as she listened to the whispers coming from behind the bar before returning her attention to the male at her side, offering him a grateful nod. " Thank ya." she uttered, head snapping back towards the man in red as his demeanor softened and she studied him with a look of disappointment. " I will have ya'r rubeh. Come ta da outpost in da southeast tamorrah and leave da poor people of dis city of it." The Harbinger offered and gestured towards her current place of reign. As Gerald bids farewell, Abassi turned to him again and dipped her head. " We could use men like ya, Gary." The woman called after him, " May da demons hide at ya'r footsteps." she stepped back then and greeted the elven woman that had been standing there, observing this whole time and locked her gaze on the dragon's servant one last time. " Leave for now, good sir. Let us stay in peace... Da dragon will get her treasure." And with that she began to depart herself, noting the newcomers as she passed them.
[2015/07/26 00:27:47] /me The man in red rolls his sleeve slightly up and traces a symbol, magic flaring around his arm. "I am glad that it sounds like this will end without further bloodshed. I confess I like this situation little more than you do." His stance lightens and he lifts off of the ground as the magic tattoo grants him flight. "Until next we meet. May it only be that once." He closes his eyes. <Safe paths.>
[2015/07/26 00:29:10] /me Sheara Yeap. Storm in a glass of water. Everyone had survived, nobody had been injured and that damn dragon still hadn't flown over. Such a disappointment. When Sheara looked down her eyes fell on the man again, that minion of the She-Dragon. A blank look was on her face, though one with softened edges, almost kind, as that split second in which the man faltered to keep his act up seeped through. "How tired you must be." she said softly with a calm voice, void of any judgmental inquiries given the bearer of bad news he was. The voices from behind her caught her attention and as the footfalls came closer, she nonchalantly sidestepped without looking back, the collision averted but she felt the brush of the blond elf's arm graze hers. However, her eyes settled on the woman with the funny accent and she was given a nod in greeting too, after the dust had settled. Then, she turned her attention to the blue-eyed elf that had harassed her. "You are standing in my aura. Please remove yourself." she quipped rathe
[2015/07/26 00:29:10] /me Sheara: tight lipped. THen, the Dragon-slave took flight and she watched him disappear. The storm had died. For now, at least.
[2015/07/26 00:31:51] /me Cynric slips past the crowd provided it was permissible, carrying Asi within his arms, and heading straight into the door alongside the tavern.
[2015/07/26 00:32:33] Cirden Fang: /me Yep he was ridged and he was indeed afraid, and fear did stupid things to people, his eyes shot over to Viv who, despite her calm tone, her over all body language was different and he would look away and set the bow aside over the arrow, he didn't understand, he just didn't, and he would shuffle over to her he knew nothing of personal space and as such he'd attempt to pull her into a hug, and shift so she'd be in his lap and his back was against the bar, yes in a way he was shielding her, she had been nice to him, and seeing her in a distressed state wasn't helping anyone do anything.
His bow was still in reach so were a quiver of arrows, and he drew in a breath and let it out, two peas in a pod, scared and hiding under a bartop, life was indeed fantastic. He still didn't understand what was being said by people out there, but he was waiting for something anything to happen, to say either tis was over with or it was getting worse... Though his heart was racing and his head was swishing either way ears
[2015/07/26 00:32:33] Cirden Fang: pointedly listening to everything around them.
There were voices of others outside right? either way he kept the embrace if he had earned it, there till she wished to remove herself from it... Cause he didnt know if it was over or not, and if it was well, maybe his good willed gesture would be seen as bad.
[2015/07/26 00:36:45] /me Nocika Múdrost: shakes his head a bit seeing that his young student hadn't been watching where he was going 'what did i teach you about paying attention to your surroundings...' as he would go to pat Blask on the shoulder, last thing he wanted was the youngester starting trouble, he was tried for that 'forgive him miss.. he can't help being half blind as he is..' as he would give a small nod tot he female, that blask had collideed with,
[2015/07/26 00:38:47] /me Blesk Blackwell: ear would twitch towards the female seeming a little surprised she was even there , that was until he felt himself brush past her slightly. His head would turn and look towards her, he would smile sheepishly and show his palms dismissively. "Sorry about that...heh, didn't see you there in my blind spot." he would say backing off. he seemed sincere and truly apologetic, perhaps a little embarrassed about the whole situation. "I had my focus on the tavern, Truly sorry miss." he would say giving a respectful bow of the head. then turning his head to the sound of Noc he would sigh as if he had heard it a million times before. "Aye... I know, I know..."
[2015/07/26 00:39:27] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me was still too petrified to be able to move. She was essentially a rag doll right now. Well....a ball of rag doll or something akin to that. She had not yet realized that the man with the silver had left. She would have been easily moved until she did realize it. But she had decided something in her head already. <"The man had silver,"> she said in a hushed tone, as if to explain a little more. <"He is looking for something and tortured the man who stole it from his master. They want it back."> That was pretty much what her life had been consumed by almost since she showed up. One hand did manage to move to her shoulder to squeeze it. Tomorrow and the pain would be gone. So long as the bloody situation was never spoken of again. Or namely the ring. And since she wasn't sure if Gerald was going to be back or not, she would begin to sense that the silver was no longer there and start to relax. She'd hardly even realized she'd been moved and in her mind she couldn't imagine what the reaction was going
[2015/07/26 00:39:27] Viveka (themis.adasia): to be when he found out she was not Lythari and he'd just tried to comfort a race that so far he seemed to hate. <"Thank you. It is appreciated,"> she said with a smile as she started to move and looked up over the counter. The woman was gone, and so was the man with silver. <"It is safe now,"> she assured him, and stood the rest of the way and coming out from behind the counter since she didn't want someone to think she worked there.
[2015/07/26 00:43:44] /me The man accelerates upward, holding a hand upward, and quite suddenly vanishes. For one brief moment a winged shadow covers the stars, streaking across the night sky towards the far reaches of the island, the unexplored wilderness beyond the forests. In its wake is a rush of air strong enough to knock over the unprepared and the sound of a single wingbeat that had controlled the elevation of the creature during the flyby, the silhouette of the dragon - a man holding onto its leg - vanishing into the dark skies.
[2015/07/26 00:44:05] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((whoops, i didn't see him for the wall apparently...thought you were already gone! my bad!))
[2015/07/26 00:50:14] /me Sheara gave the young elf a once over in his apologies, he seemed genuine enough, and he stepped out of her aura so that was something too. "You should lay out a trap for him. I'm sure he'll only forget once more." she offered her not asked for help in the situation of the tunnelvisioned youngster to the white haired one trailing behind him. Obviously she hadn't anticipated a sudden gust of wind the man left as he took his leave and it slammed into the lithe body of the Elf like a proper shove aiming to get her to loose footing. Which, it did. Arms flailed as the wind knocked her in the back from her position facing the young elf and she was knocked down to a squat position, toes still on the ground with palms flat on the cobblestone. Her cat like reflexes had saved her from a most unceremonious fall and faceplant, though her dark hairs and skirt whipped around her body until the winds had fallen and she looked up from her crouching position, just in time to see that silhouette. A cry in glee was then sud
[2015/07/26 00:50:15] /me Sheara: exclaimed, there was the dragon! And she'd seen it! Sort of. Today, was a good day.
[2015/07/26 00:55:09] Cirden Fang: /me indeed as she peered over he'd wait and when she said it was clear, he would nod, <"You're welcome."> he said as he moved to his bow to collapse it again which was easier then uncollapsing it, and he placed it back where it belong along with the arrow. As for how he was going to take things, who knew, he seemed to peer around the room now from behind the bar taking in faces and scents as he shifted slowly, maybe even defensively around Viveka, and towards the front door, his eyes then peered back as he reached the table he had hidden under and assumed everything was clear for now.. When the wind blew his body was jaunted back but he gripped hard to the counter, almost falling over, he then growled a little because he came here for peace and got almost nothing of the sort, that and possibly vivekas rumcake was flung across the room by wind... Cir would huff a little, if only to look back apologetically to Viveka, <"I should go, I stay... in the Wayland, or what ever it may be, I just.... before that shop
[2015/07/26 00:55:09] Cirden Fang: keeper comes around or anything of the sort. Thank you for your kindness."> he said as he looked back to the door ready to depart less stopped.
[2015/07/26 00:58:43] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me had totally forgotten her rumcake and it would remain forgotten until the next morning most likely. Or once she stopped thinking over the next day. Honestly she hadn't much noticed the effects of the wind. She was far too focused right then, only to be snapped out of it with words being spoken to her. She smiled and nodded her head. <"I will make sure to see if I can find out the problem when I next see her,"> she said, having momentarily let that slip her mind as well. It would have come back eventually. Things always did. <"Be safe, and rest well."> She also would need to be going, but she went across to the infirmary to see if Cy was about before figuring out if she felt like going back to the den that night or not.
[2015/07/26 00:58:57] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((night guys! poofing to do a few things before heading to bed! thanks for the rp!))
[2015/07/26 00:59:14] Sʜᴇᴀʀᴀ (prudence.stormcrow): ((Night!))
[2015/07/26 00:59:15] /me Nocika Múdrost: felt the sudden wind, whip up as he took a step backwards, shielding his eyes as he went to reply to the female elf, grabbing at a crate nearby to keep his balance, 'little good that well do...is this common here miss? sorry for questions but we are new here.?'
After this, she went and spoke with former pack alphas to fix the problem...can provide if needed.....
Learning the new Alpha
This one we felt should be added because if nothing else, it increased her status in Skyrah's eyes seeing as she handled things the proper way....
[2015/08/18 17:03:36] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me focused herself for a second so that she could at least seem composed before she headed off down the hall towards the two women, Djali prancing ahead of her with his tail perked up so he could go 'flirt' with the two of them, too since he had yet to. Though the look in Reanna's eyes almost made him hesitate to go up to her. She might eat him. Instead he went to Sky for now and would try to gently headbutt her leg before looking up to her and bleating pitifully as if he was the most neglected thing in the world. "Djali. Behave," she would warn before casting her eyes back to the women. "To what do I owe the pleasure of the both of you coming to visit with me today?" And just as she started talking to them, two people would come in with shipments for her and she would gesture them to the back, clearly seeing seeing the shipping stamp on them and knowing it was business supplies. "Let me guess, you two heard I'm a dragon slayer too? Someone is getting their story mixed up somewhere along the line!"
[2015/08/18 17:07:06] Reanna Sèitheach (reanna.lockjaw): /me snorts a bit as she shakes her head, turning to follow the clearly neglected goat. She very well may have tried to eat him.. in her natural form. She'd look back to Vik and shake her head "Bin meanin' tae gab tae ye as a business owner.. abit a bit ay an alliance atween uir shaps. especially noo wi' thes whole taxes pish gonnae oan. an' tae see if ye needed anythin'.. special brooght in. i've a brain new enaw connection tae most ay th' merchant ships 'at come in an' it ay uir harbur, an' hae an accord wi' th' new harbur master. shooldnae hae onie issues gettin' specialty items noo."
[2015/08/18 17:18:00] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me look down to the goat, her eyes just staring at it for quite a few minutes. A chuckle escaping her lips as it headbutted her leg and that look "you remind me too much of Boomie, one to always fish for attention huh?" Kneeling down she tried to pet the goat before looking up at Viveka "actually havent heard that, been taking care of family things" she gave both the girls a look before looking down to the goat again. "Well I know you have been wanting to speak to me and I have been meaning to speak to you. Also need to give you two your tasks" she looked at Rea then at Viv "id rather speak at home but I rarely see you two there. Also the men worked hard and added a new section to the place" she grinned as she loved the new addition they have now.
[2015/08/18 17:21:47] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me just stared at Rea, a blank look on her face. It normally took her a second to process what the woman was saying but... "Nope, not totally sober enough yet. Give me a second to figure out what you just said." A hand lifted and seemed to be dictating something as her mind rolled through what the woman had just said. "Ah! Right! Hrm, I wish you'd come to me sooner. I've already spoken with Lady Elizabeth about shipping some of my things in," she said, gesturing to the two that had gone in the back and were now on their way back out the door. "But it would certainly be easier to go through more than one since she does not ship all of my supplies. Not sure everyone wants to ship what we have here, though. What percent are they asking for with shipping it?" She hoped to hell it was lower than Elizabeth's, then again, those came with a few extra perks. "I think I need to hire an accountant to deal with all of these things. A simple entertainer doesn't like to fuss with the numbers and taxes are beyond
[2015/08/18 17:21:47] Viveka (themis.adasia): us since everything we earned was donations to a person. Certainly hope all of this doesn't turn around and somehow bite us in the ass. I mean I'm all for an orphanage and all of that but I'd rather not end up supporting a bunch of freeloaders with our hard work." Djali would gloat at the attention he was getting from Skyrah, not having the slightest clue what either of them turned into so not imaging he had anything to fear, at least out of Sky. "He is the king of pies and Valkyrie has already talked about making him a lord for a day to honor his title he gained where we last knew each other at. The last thing I need is for his ego to inflate anymore." She listened to all that Skyrah said, suddenly feeling very sobered up, which depressed her a little bit. "It has been difficult to get out of here. What with..." she paused and looked to Sky, not sure if she should even mention the name or not. "Nym getting her throat nearly torn out one night and a thief, I've been a bit less willing to leave for too
[2015/08/18 17:21:47] Viveka (themis.adasia): long. We can talk now if you like. I think everything will be okay with my guard watching." Then again, he was the one that had gotten charmed and stolen from...
[2015/08/18 17:27:11] Reanna Sèitheach (reanna.lockjaw): /me just kind of growled a bit at the name before shaking her head slowly, and speaking crystal clear for once in her life "Woman is shady as the ass end of a snake.. Don't trust it. And I'd get you whatever you might need for cost. Nothing more, nothing less. I keep my prices fair." There was an ear twitch, eyes flitting to the door as she started to move towards it "I.. have ta go. We can catch up later?" She'd level the question to Sky, already walking out the door to do who knows what, cause her typist had to run for a bit.
[2015/08/18 17:30:34] Crystal Skies: whispers: Entering this building feels like stepping into a surreal other world. Smoke drifts in the air, the sounds of languid laughter and faint music come from shadowy alcoves, and the decor suggests lavishness and a sensual treat to the senses. One of the scantily clad dancers sways her way through the patrons to your side, offering to guide you to whatever pleasure you might desire.
[2015/08/18 17:33:56] The Den Mother (valerievixxen): is online.
[2015/08/18 17:40:26] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me looked up as she heard Lady Elizabeth mentioned "Careful of that one" murmuring softly as she spoke before standing up. Her eyes looking down towards the goat "oh I know how animals can be, trust me Boomie is such a freaken suckup to others when I don't give him what he wants. Fuckin bird I tell ya." Hearing the words of taxes she just shakes her head "im so glad I do not have to deal with that nonsense. but yes if your not busy Viv we can head to the den yes?" Her eyes go to Rea with a node "yes but soon alright?" She then turn to head for the doors but would wait for her pack mate to join her.
[2015/08/18 17:44:46] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me nearly jumped when Rea lashed out. Not so much at the lashing out but either she spoke clearly or....her brain was shifting and changing to make her understand the woman better. In a slightly inebriated state, she might believe the latter. Sadly, she got sobered up pretty quick just a few minutes before. She heard the second warning and seemed to actually take heed of it. "I am, don't worry. But if there is anything that I'm good at is blending and keeping on people's good sides. Just may get a little tricky some days with all the lines I end up walking on accident." She would nod her head with a bit of a sigh, hoping to high hell she had her balance back. If not...well at least Skyrah would get a good laugh at her. "You may want to walk a good twenty steps ahead of or behind me. I'm feeling better now but the last time I tried to have a drinking contest with a dwarf, I broke a few records, and people, when I started moving again."
[2015/08/18 17:52:08] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me turns her head "yesterday I had a drink outside of the den for the first time at the tavern yesterday with a nice woman by the name of Chione, do you know of her?" Her head tilted, the other woman may heard a different sort of tone in her voice as she spoke, a bit of nervousness? Who knows really. "Last time you drank and I walked you to the den you tripped over something, I think ill stick to your side this time." Chuckling softly she motions to the door "shall we then?"
[2015/08/18 17:55:50] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me wrinkled up her nose when she heard the name. Not that she disliked the woman, she just had one bad memory of her. "I do know her. She works as a barmaid at the tavern. She actually was the one that got the ring from....you know what. Another story for later," she said with a shake of her head. "She seems nice enough though! And that time wasn't me drinking more than usual! That was having a demon land next to me and rupturing my eardrum so my balance was right out the door!" Though...same concept really but she was going to argue it as if it were something different till she turned blue in the face. She'd nod and follow along when Sky went wandering about
[2015/08/18 18:09:08] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me walked to the Den chuckling "well she told me she has her own shop now, Im thinking of doing some business with her through the pack. Do you think she would be trustworthy enough for me to go to her as Sophia, in disguise of course." As they got to the den she motioned to the woman to follow her to the new area, once there she take a seat in her chair and relax. "So I know you have been meaning to speak to me and I have been meaning to speak to you about a few things. With that said how about you start first" she motioned to the woman to take a seat wherever.
[2015/08/18 18:18:11] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me scratched her head as she really considered the question asked to her. "You know, I am not entirely certain. I mean, like I said she seems like good enough people but when we had the issue with the dragon, she had possession of the ring. She knew how important it was and she just....sat it on the counter in the tavern and left it for any stranger to pick it up. Seems a little flighty and that would give me cause to worry if she would just let something slip. But she means well. And she said something about being an old bounty hunter or something. I would get to know her a little before fully trusting her, in my personal opinion. But I can be overly cautious some days." She would follow to the back of the den and sort of look about. She really needed to find new places to spend her time! She was always in caves and under ground! Hearing she would start first made her fidget uncomfortably. "I...simply had some concerns about a few things. The fires really. I wished to speak with you about them,
[2015/08/18 18:18:11] Viveka (themis.adasia): wondering if this was going to be something we continue to do. I know a wolf was lost but....how many lives were taken on the night the keep burned? Does one life justify that? And I keep having these dreams. Fires of rage and the ground weeping the blood of her children. All of her children. Not just us. I just worry we are being lead down a path to our deaths. And I mean no disrespect by what I am saying. I would hope that you would hear me out, as a seer. And I know you did not want us to be seen as doormats but...there can be a difference between being a doormat and being wreckless. I just hope that you are not veering into wreckless because this could start a war...."
[2015/08/18 18:24:50] Viveka (themis.adasia): nature weeping* not ground weeping
[2015/08/18 18:28:06] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me listens quietly as Viveka spoke, her one hand tapping her nails on the arm rest of the chair "your right, I will see about getting to know her better before going to her as my trueself." Then as Viveka spoke of her concern she listened quietly, taking the woman's words in consideration and really liked how she came about to speak to her about this instead of having a raging fit like another one had. "I do appreciate your concerns, looking back on it now I may have been a bit out of line with the millhouse but the Keep. None of theres died, may have gotten hurt but no deaths that were reported. But there will be no more fires my dear, we are done with that. I made a pact with the Fae, they will aid us if need be, watch over the forest just as we are and there will be no more fires. That was apart of the agreement. We needed to take a stand, may have gone about it the wrong way at first but now im really starting to figure things out. Ive been actually in the Keep as a warden initiate, trying to draw them
[2015/08/18 18:28:06] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): away from the forest and giving them false information. Have you heard of any talk about the Singarti while your out in the Village areas?"
[2015/08/18 18:36:59] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me really seemed confused by the bit about no casualties being reported. That countered what she'd heard...then again...rumors. And it's not like she was running around casting her truth spell every time she had a conversation....that that it would have helped if the person thought it to be true. "I feel better knowing this, thank you. At least that there will be no more fires. Oddly though, there has been word that some died but....as I well know, words start to change when they are passed too much. Hence why apparently I am now a dragon slayer and mixed with a woman that I suppose brought down a wyvern." She would nod her head with the rest of what Skyrah had said. All of it, though she'd take it in steps. "Running things certainly is a learning process. I hope to see you progress well rather than become a monster like a king I once knew. Thankfully he did not live long enough to ruin his kingdom too much. As for having heard anything, I once heard someone say that the Wardens were planning an
[2015/08/18 18:36:59] Viveka (themis.adasia): attack but....the claim was not made by a warden and he had no more to offer. He may have simply meant he believed that they were. I /do/ however know that Valyrie wishes to keep the city as a neutral ground, but if something spills out, they will have to protect their city. And I trust her with this. I knew her before...where we once were. She knows of my secret, the eyes that is, and has kept it well. I'd played a part in saving the Elven village from an attack from a demon set to destroy the whole realm. She was there when the vision happened. And she trusts me because of it. Other than that, not so much. Yet. I keep trying to learn more out of my friend that recently joined the Wardens. He is a bit of an oaf so he should not be too hard to get talking."
[2015/08/18 18:53:49] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me hums softly to herself as Viveka spoke nodding her head "I once was an Alpha before this for another pack but we did not have to deal with others for we lived in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. So having to deal with others that are near pack land is new to me and I am still learning. I do not wish the pack to be harmed by my decisions, I want them to be safe and wanted to get anyone that may have been of harm to us off our lands." She listens as the woman speaks again "well it was not my intentions to exactly kill but I wanted revenge for what they did to our pack. And I can always use the advice from others in the pack, the pack is a family we are to work together. I may be Alpha but I do not know everything." She smiles softly "Valkyrie, I have met the woman once when she tried to defend a vampire that bit me on my mothers grave. We did not hit it off exactly... but maybe I should speak to her as my trueself, what do you think? Does many people know you are one with the pack?" Tilting her head
[2015/08/18 18:53:49] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): slightly "who is your friend? I have been at the Keep recently the past few nights, met a few people here and there. The Harbringer, Abassi, she seems to be hiding something and I want to find out what that something is. Does your friend know your a wolf?" It was then that she took out a scroll from one of the tables by her chair "now tell me Viveka, how far do you see yourself going when it comes to Ranks of the pack?"
[2015/08/18 19:04:09] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me's poor, not so inebriated but still slightly floaty brain, was bombarded by questions and she had to make a mental checklist. She certainly was glad that the curse of never forgetting anything....ever...forever...stuck when she had been drinking. "Valkyrie knows what I am, she still trusts me, but she knows me well enough now that I wish nothing more than to take the path of the least death and bloodshed. The least anger and pain, if possible. Even if sometimes it means doing things in unconventional ways. I would say hold off on letting her know. Since she is familiar with me, if you wish to relay messages, I can act as the carrier till we get a better idea of if we think she can be trusted with who you are. I would like to think she can be, but what would worry me more is those around her. She has a guard now that seems to like receiving bonuses for not wetting himself when he watched a dragon land on a roof when my friend Gerald faced off with her and even took a hit from her. I suppose at least he
[2015/08/18 19:04:09] Viveka (themis.adasia): shared the bonus, but I feel he likely would share information to step up in the world. At the very least though, I know I trust her with mine. And so long as they are spoken with her in private, I am okay with this. As for my friend in the Wardens, his name is Gerald. We became friends on my second day on this island, before either of us went to our respective groups. He helped much through the dragon incident. A bit slow, but a good hearted individual. I was a bit surprised he joined honestly and no, it took him two weeks to even realize I had elf ears. He hasn't the slightest clue what I am other than strange." She ticked those questions off the list, closed one eye and thought of the next. Ah, the last one. Probably the most difficult one for her. "I admittedly had my concerns after the fires. But now that I feel satisfied that is all over with, I would like to see myself contribute as much as I possibly can. My ears and..all four eyes...are here to help however they are needed to be."
[2015/08/18 19:18:58] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods and smiles from her answers to the questions she asked, taking a quill as she jots a few things down "well you know when I got to have a meeting as my trueself I am in disguise, I do not let others know the my Alias is Skyrah. That information needs to be held secret for I do not wish that the Wardens knew who I really am. I am actually working on learning the spell to alter my voice, shall be handy in when I need to disguise myself. That is why I ask when someone wants to meet the Alpha that they make a meeting so I can be ready as such. I would rather be on neutral terms with Valkyrie but from my first meeting with her I am still a bit uneasy about it." As she spoke about Gerald she chuckles "oh I think I know of the man you speak about, he was there the last two nights I was. Just try to not let too many people know of what you are, I would hate for you to get hurt because of that because I know you are prone to such things." When she spoke her answer about wanting to contribute more to the pack
[2015/08/18 19:18:58] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): she smiled and put down the quill and scroll "Good because I have a proposition for you. Right now you are only a Sigma, but with your skills and such I really would like to see you as the Gamma for the Kouzelník, which means you would be part of the council in the pack. Helping the lower ranking Kouzelník and keeping track of them on how they are doing in their ranks, quests, and tasks. Usually it would take at least four new moons for one to be able to get to the rank but I am needing more help and really want to see our Gamma positions taken." Taking a few minutes to think she looks down to the scroll on her lap before looking back up "I will give you three quests-tasks to finish by the new moon, if you are able to do these then I will make you Gamma of the Kouzelník, that is if you could see yourself in such a position in the pack."
[2015/08/18 19:28:09] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me nodded her head, though not able to help in the least with the voice altering thing. She dealt with enough voices in her head, she didn't need to start mimicking others or teaching someone how to! "So far as I know, there are only two people...no...three people who knows what I am. I trust all three. Valkyrie I did not get so much of a say with. She knew me back then. I did not hide what I was. I was an assistant to the king's consort, I controlled a group of entertainers, and I was an unofficial advisor to the king himself, and a spy as well since I went relatively unnoticed in most settings. The second has become....close to me. I know some of his more guarded secrets, he's seen some of mine. And he trusts only myself and would not let harm come to me if it were in his power. The guard that was by me when you arrived. It is him. The other is a fae. A tiny faun. I'd had to shift in order to stand a chance at keeping her safe against the shadelings. But I am keeping it as quiet as I can otherwise." When
[2015/08/18 19:28:09] Viveka (themis.adasia): Skyrah went on, she had to blink a few times for it to fully sink in. This was the first time she was a part of something in more than half of her life and suddenly there was talk of bumping her up to Gamma. That was a bit of a hit to someone still adjusting to being part of a pack in general. She laughed and lifted her hands, palms towards Skyrah, and wiggling her fingers. "I could just cheat and see if I can manage to complete the tasks," she joked. Clearly joked, she wouldn't give up time in her life for something like that. "I am honored that you think I can handle this and all I can say is that I will do my best to complete the tasks given to me.".
[2015/08/18 19:50:35] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me smiled, nodding her head "there are a few that know what I am here that are not part of the pack or are of garou decent, it was before I truly became more careful with who I was and before I took on the position of Alpha to the pack. The few that know well one I will be speaking with this evening hopefully, the few others well hopefully they will have no reason to blurt it out but if the time comes that does happen I will have to figure something out." A rumbled chuckle escaped her chest as she shakes her head as she jokes about cheating but then as the woman seemed to accept the offer she grinned "Alright, your first task and second task won't be too hard but the third one you will have to seek me out to do this quest for it will not be an easy one, it will test your skills and abilities to the max." She lets that sink in before continuing "your first task you will need to show me and the pack a way you could protect the pack with your magic. your second task you will need to teach a subject regarding
[2015/08/18 19:50:35] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): magic or something pertaining to your path to the pack. and your third task you will be going with me to the umbra so show me your abilities there."
[2015/08/18 20:01:31] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me listened as the woman went on about the tasks. It was strange, she felt like the first two, or at least the second, was harder for her than the thought of the third since she'd faced the umbra before. And the only thing she had ever really taught was...dance. The smart ass in her wanted to say she could protect the pack by being flirty and all that, since it has helped her stop fights numerous times before, but she was trying to be serious here. She just lifted her hands, palms out again, and looked to Skyrah. "Can you define defend? Because I have defended cities, and this very island, simply by seeing the future or the past. Are we talking some sort of combative skill? I seriously lack in those, but I am trying!" That second one though, ugh. She knew what she was. She was cursed. Possessed sort of. It was...complicated. She didn't really know how one taught something that one was born with and had to learn to control, rather than learn from scratch. THAT was the one she was really going to
[2015/08/18 20:01:31] Viveka (themis.adasia): stress over.
[2015/08/18 20:08:14] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me gives Viveka a grin with sort of a mischievous look to it "That is a question I can not answer Viveka, there are many ways one could defend the pack but you must be able to figure out how you could help if the pack was attacked and since your a Kouzelník you should use a way that has any part in magic, or spirits, or the connection with The Mother Earth. These are test of your skills but also your mind dear Sister, they will not be easy but I have faith in your ability to do so."
[2015/08/18 20:19:01] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me didn't necessarily like the answer she had been given, but there was phrase in there that basically said during a current attack, not predicting one. That limited her to two things. The slight glimpses she could get during a fight that warns her of an oncoming attack, which is only partially reliable, or taking on an aspect of the beast, which really....they all did that to a degree! Could be a tough crowd! Why did she have to give up all of her pretty offensive knowledge?! So she was officially worrying more about the first two now. "Well, for the first, I fear I am quite limited if it is a surprise attack. Even my shield is limited to myself. My eyes can allow me a glimpse of what the attacker is about to do, I can gain aspects of the beast while unshifted and....I am able to cast while shifted as well. At least...my larger self can. Sadly I have sacrificed the ability to use some of my knowledge. I was trying to gain some physical combat knowledge before moving to regain some of my more potent
[2015/08/18 20:19:01] Viveka (themis.adasia): attacks, but perhaps I should have gone with magic first. I just got tired of not being able to throw that good of an attack unless it was a kick between the legs...But at the very least I can show these three skills whenever you would like for me to."
[2015/08/18 20:22:20] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me nods her head "well I will plan a time next week if that is alright with you and I have knowledge in some offensive magic if you ever want some help in that path. for your first two tasks you can do either of them in any order but the third has to be your last. I will plan a date next week when the pack will meet and you can show us your skills or do a class, it is up to you just let me know which one you choose. Sound fair to you?"
[2015/08/18 20:32:05] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me puffed up her cheeks and slowly let out the air. Next week. Well she couldn't likely learn much else in the process, but she could at least shift and cast. A huge advantage. She'd just have to plan on recovering her lost skills much quicker than originally planned. "I may have to take you up on that, with the skills, though perhaps learning how to shield others should be the first that I regain. I have sacrificed the ability to use a lot of what I know over the years. It will be a task to retain at least some of that, but I will work on that before my other plans now. I likely will not know in time but, next week is fine. I can at least show that I /can/ do something. And if I can cast while shifted, it means I could cast shields on others. So that is my plan for now. At least show I can do it till I can pick up the rest. As for the class....I will need time to even think of how and what to do really. Explaining the umbra would likely be monotonous for many, and I would like to do something new."
[2015/08/18 20:42:56] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me smiles "well then I think we have your quests in place then, just tell me when your want to do the class then we can plan for the umbra. The umbra in this area is dangerous, not sure if you have been since you have come here yet, but its not an easy place to be and I do not want anyone in the pack going alone in there until they first have taken one trip with me there." She seems to get lost in thought as she thought about her mother spirits and how bad it was there, that spirit of the child still haunts her mind daily. Shaking her head she lets out a soft sigh before looking back at Viveka "I must take my rest now for this day has been long for me and tomorrow I have to walk as my spirit wolf to speak with someone and I will need all my energy for that. I have faith in you that you will complete your tasks successfully, you are a bright one and I see a lot of myself in you of when I was younger. If you ever need anything or anyone to talk to you know I am always a howl away. I know sometimes you get
[2015/08/18 20:42:56] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): into some situations that are not so good, im really hoping I can bond the pack to the point where we can speak to one another without being so near but it will take time, patience, and pack growth for that to happen."
[2015/08/18 20:48:41] Taegen V'hoori (alyxz.marenwolf): is offline.
[2015/08/18 20:48:48] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me shook her head to the bit about the umbra. "Not yet, I have not had much chance to. Everything has been going so quickly." She smiled and bowed to Skyrah. "Rest well and - would you like me to set anything up with Valk when I get the chance? Perhaps tell her I shall act as liaison to the alpha or can arrange a meeting? I also appreciate the offer for help. I am as bull headed as my mother though and use to being on my own, so asking for help is going to be a process just like adjusting to a pack in general. I will leave you to your rest then and I will see you soon." With that, she would turn and prepare to leave unless stopped.
[2015/08/18 20:53:27] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): /me smiles as she stands, nodding her head "yes that would be great, ill have you be the liaison between us and if she asks for a name just say Sophia. See how she feels about the wolves, if she wants to see something done different and if there was a way to be on neutral grounds. If she wants to meet me in person then set up a time that is in the afternoon or evening." She would head the same way Viveka was to head to her own den area "well I am the same way, asking for help is hard but sometimes its the best thing for a person to grow. Safe paths Sister and try hard to not get into any bad situations alright?" she chuckled softly to herself as she said those last few words before continuing on so she could rest for the night.
An Alliance with an Old Friend
This one is still being rp'ed though pretty well done. The most important bits are, at least....I am Willow (alias) btw
[17:31:30] Valkyrie Asta Munthe gave a slight shrug of her shoulders. "I suppose anyone of sound mind would be scared. Though I suppose more that it wouldn't bother me." She had been used to the sort of thing, so, she didn't mind. "Well, didn't your family bother to tell you that you might be capable of magic?"
[17:32:29] Vincent Keene (vincent3342) he chuckled slightly as he looked into her eyes a bit and nodded his head, "Yeah they did, but they didnt know when such a thing would happen you know?" he said softly as he ran a hand along her arm and hmmed a bit, "What else is there that I can tell you." he pondered a bit...
[17:34:15] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) walked with Viveka up to the village, while she also called on her magic speaking a low tone of elven as she worked to alter her voice. Her hair was still soaked from the dive into the water but she did not care. As she looked to Viveka she motioned to the door of where the lady of Aberwyth most likely could be found while keeping a hold on her magic. [alter voice 1/2]
[17:36:43] Sovelis Quinn (tigerzak.lorefield) gives a light tapping on the door to announce his presence before stepping into the building once more. "Greetings My Lady; Vincent. I have returned and shall begin penning a missive. Do let me know of anything specific you wish to be added in." He states with a slight smile and a nod before moving back to the table.
[17:37:35] Willow (alias) was about to go up to knock on the door when she sees another go in. She pauses to look at Sky to see if she wishes for her to continue, or if they should wait till there are fewer people to have to be around.
[17:40:39] Valkyrie Asta Munthe shrugged and sat up. "I'm not sure." Just lie clockwork, there was a knock upon the door, and she stood up, moving towards it, though Sovelis came in before she could get the door. "Ah excellent," she'd say. "The big points are just to ensure that all supplies are accounted for, and that I expect a full list." That's when she spotted Willow, and remembered that the meeting was today, and looked towards Vincent and Sovelis. "Please do forgive me, but I have a rather important meeting I need to speak with. Maybe you two can discuss going down to the harbor further."
[17:40:50] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) watches as another one enters the building, she puts a hand up to Viveka for her to wait and shakes her head as she steps to the side. Few more words were spoken in elven behind the mask as she finished the spell. Once it was done she looked to Viveka "we shall wait, though hopefully it won't be too long or we will come another day" murmuring in a softer voice that had a bit of an accent with it then her normal voice.
[17:41:04] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): [alter voice 2/2]
[17:42:51] Vincent Keene (vincent3342) he looked to val and rose a brow, his new statio- he shook his head of the thoughts and nodded slightly. "I understand... please be safe." he said to her as he looked back towards the fire, his brows furrowed slightly as he shifted a bit around. and fell quiet for a few moments.
[17:45:20] Willow (alias) nodded and just leaned against the building beside of them all patient like
[17:46:45] Sovelis Quinn (tigerzak.lorefield) gives a few absent nods to Valkyrie as she confirms his tasks and states that she would return. "Mmhm, Mmhm, of course. Then I shall have this done post haste. Do be safe, Lady Valkyrie." Sovelis states, setting his bag down beside him and beginning to prepare some paper and his quills and ink.
[17:49:14] Valkyrie Asta Munthe shut the door behind her after waving to the two men and walked forward to meet with Willow and Sophie. "Good to see you two," she'd say with a smile. "Shall we take this meeting to a place a little more private if you prefer?" Since they met here last time, they could pick this go around.
[17:56:40] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) smiles to Valkyrie "pleasure to see you also" looking to Willow she tilt her head "I say lets go down to the den yes?" as the woman's work not the wolf den, sky would never take anyone there unless it was crucial. "I appreciate you meeting with us with such short notice but what news we bring is very important and thought it be best that you knew." Her right arm dangled limply to the side, there was no movement to it and there seemed to be bandages around the hand, the Alpha seemed a bit weaker the usual but she tried hard to not show it.
[17:57:57] Willow (alias) smiled behind the mask and nodded her head at the mention of the den. She knew she could boss people around there and tell them to stay out. "Always a pleasure to see you," she added in as she pushed herself away from the wall.
[18:00:34] Valkyrie Asta Munthe would nod and started to follow. "That sounds perfect," she'd say. "And of course. I'm glad that this has been brought to my attention." Valk eyed the arm and frowned slightly, but would not mention it unless Skyrah did. "Shall we?" she asked with a warm smile.
[18:01:00] Raptus (krath) is online.
[18:02:10] Nefertiti Kimagawa left chat range.
[18:02:13] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) smiles, nodding her head. She didn't know how much Viveka has already told Valk but she would find out once they were in the den. In the distant her two guards, one female and one male kept watch but they stayed back as they surveyed the area and would follow from afar. As she started to move so did they.
[18:06:39] Willow (alias) simply flashes her eyes at people as she passed, though they'd seen her walk in and out like this before. It was enough to make sure they remembered to stay out of the conversation going on. For some reason, she scared people! It may have something to do with knowing way more about them than she should.... "Please, have a seat," she would say when they got settled into a room. "If you want anything, let me know. No sense in it being all business if we do not have to make it be."
[18:09:36] Valkyrie Asta Munthe followed the pair to the den, greeting whoever passed by with a nod and a smile before reaching the final destination. "Oh, I really shouldn't," she'd say. "Though...if you have tea, that would be lovely." For certain reasons, well, one of them, she didn't really want to partake in any..."recreational" activities that came with the den. She'd take a seat nearby and placed her hands upon her lap. "So.../what/ exactly transpired that night?" she'd ask. "Willow has already told me the majority of it."
[18:16:35] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) took a seat at one of the small chairs. The opium den always brought memories up that she wished never left. As Viveka asked if they wanted anything she nodded her head "Anything that will help me to relax" she murmured before looking towards Valkyrie. "I am unsure of how much she has told you but it seems something dangerous, or evil seems to be coming to Valesk" she looked towards Willow "Did you tell her about the vision you saw? The night of the full moon was just terrible. We were going on a pack hunt in the forest, sent a few scouts out but then I heard the cries of pain. When we got there there was two air elementals, as soon as I went to protect my pack members a fire formed around us. Then a cloaked figure started shooting off arrows with silver melted into the tips, there was bear traps with silver and wards of lightening. Few of my packmates lost their lives that night. We are still healing from the aftermath" it was then that she brought her right arm to place it on her lap where it stayed
[18:16:35] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91): unmoving. "The cloaked figure then killed my companion, I feared her away after though.... but a shadeling also showed up but it caught on fire and ran."
[18:21:56] Willow (alias) was happy that she had the mask on her face because the grin that spread from one ear to the next would let on that her mind was up to no good. She would behave, however! At least with Valk. She'd let an NPC know to bring regular old tea, minus the 'green' for the Lady, and asked her to take it easy with the 'green' tea for Skyrah, knowing the alpha was a bit of a light weight. As the NPC left, she gave him a slap on the ass and a light laugh. Probably a good thing sexual harassment in the workplace wasn't likely a thing yet...as if they minded! As she leaned against the door frame rather casually, she looked to Sky to answer her. "I gave vague snippets, and a little of what I had researched, which I had not fully been able to share with you yet either considering what happened on the moon and last night." Her brow rose when Skyrah went on. She'd not heard about the shadeling yet either. The more appearances there were of them, the more she worried that she had seen both past and future. "W
[18:21:56] Willow (alias): looking further into that as well to try to determine who did it. I've yet to hear any rumors, however."
[18:22:02] Viveka (themis.adasia): We will be*
[18:28:39] Valkyrie Asta Munthe would gladly take the tea whenever it game. "Thank you," she'd say and took a good sip. It helped to settle the stomach. "I havent heard any rumors on my end yet. Like I told Willow, I know for certain that none of my people would do this. Whoever it was is surely acting on their own." She'd sigh, shaking her head as she listened to Skyrah. "I cannot...even begin to express how sorry I am that this has happened. The cloaked figure...did any of you happen to catch a face?"
[18:37:04] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) nods her head as her tea was given, but then she realized she would have to take off her mask. Damnit. She looked to Valkyrie, sighing softly "the only way for me to drink this is to remove my mask, with that said you will probably recognize me. I do wish to keep my identity a secret though, its not known by many. I keep my alias a secret to many. No one knows shes the Alpha." She doesn't take off her mask yet as she waits to hear what Valk has to say to that. "I did not think this cloaked figure was one of yours, I plan to go talk with Chione because of the bear traps and ask her if she sold many lately to anyone. We did not see a face at all, they were covered but I will not give up to finding who this person is. They killed my pack mates then also destroyed some of the forest. I do not take kindly to that, I already have talked with the Fae about it." Looking towards Viveka "what information did you find out through the research?"
[18:40:02] Willow (alias) hadn't actually rp'ed it coming yet but we can totes say it did at the end of her last post and that she got handsy with the NPC again. Especially since she couldn't answer these questions, what with being one of those oddballs that couldn't shift and not being on the hunt. She would plop down in the seat on the other side of Sky once she was properly done molesticating employees and pull her own mask down since it didn't matter so much for her. "You could always hold the cup in front of the mask and only pull down below your lips." She paused, and then looked at Sky's arm. "Nevermind." It /was/ a good idea, just not for someone with a dead arm. "Well, the research was involving the shadelings. Perhaps we should talk more of the vision itself first. Unless there is any more to share about the attack on the moon."
[18:45:28] Valkyrie Asta Munthe would nod, keeping her eyes trained on Skyrah closely when she spoke of removing her mask. "I have no one to tell your secret to," she'd tell the woman. "Your identity is safe." She'd nod in agreement about finding the person. There was already one cloaked person they were looking for, so, there was something in common there. "I'm afraid I do not know much about these shadelings. Vincent has told me some about it...but...they are not a creature that I am familiar with."
[18:56:20] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) gives the woman a nod of her head before looking to Viveka "I thought of that but I can't do much with only one usable arm." Chuckling softly she started to pull down her mask, once she did she took a look at Valk before taking a sip of the tea. Realizing its the green tea that she likes a soft happy sigh escaped her lips. "Not much more I can say about the full moon night, you can go ahead and start talking about the vision and such." Taking another sip of the drink she leaned back and tried to just relax her body of the tension she felt from the last few days.
[19:05:14] Willow (alias) nodded her head and drank herself some of her rum before going on. "We went to the umbra one night and spoke with a spirit wolf there. The spirit then possessed me to show me what was to come of the shadelings. Unfortunately, as I may have explained to you before, time is not a fixed construct in these things usually. The attack on the white city where we once knew each other was one of those flukes, and was not truly part of that vision but rather the warning of a spirit that reached out to me that the demon had held captive. First I see Valesk, not quite as it is today. Past or future, I am not sure. All seemed normal there till the image flashed and the quakes began, much like we had that day you stopped by the infirmary after the demon attacked me. Somehow, they connect to this. Whether it is a warning that they are coming, or they are causing it, I am not sure. But somehow it seems linked. From there, there was darkness. Cold. Rain. Poverty everywhere. This is where the shadelings beco
[19:05:14] Willow (alias): evident. People and things begin to disappear. There are killings. Throughout the entire thing, I hear a male voice but am unable to tell what it says. My belief is that this is perhaps the one responsible, the one leading them or summoning them or calling for them. They are creatures from the Umbra. Dark, nasty creatures that can render you to nothing but bone in mere seconds. Sadly, something I have seen with my own two eyes. As for what I learned on research, the first sighting on them was about fifteen years ago and it seems they have only been seen here. It is something with this island. And...as I stated, they do mutilate things. With them, when they attacked during the fae party, a black goo began to fall from the trees till nothing was left but bones."
[19:05:21] Viveka (themis.adasia): become more*
[19:26:34] Valkyrie Asta Munthe didn't like the sound of the vision. Sure, Viv had...sort of dived into it, or skirted around it, but now hearing it in depth was unsettling to say the least. She let out a sigh and rubbed her face. Surely if her hair was a normal pigment, it would be the current color it is now years ago. "There has to be a way to destroy them."
[19:30:32] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) finished off her cup of green tea as they spoke, she put the empty glass on the table as she relaxed back into the chair once more. Feeling more relaxed then she first came in the opium den. As Viveka spoke though she rubbed her forehead where that new mark formed on her forehead, mentions of visions just reminded her her first one from the other night. It plagued her mind and her dreams constantly, she had no clue how Viv did it. What surprised her was that Valk said nothing about who she was, maybe she forgot. "Well at least we know now there is a cure for the shaderot they can cause. Fire seems to be a weakness of theirs but im unsure of a way to rid them all together. I hate to say this for I do not care for the wardens but I feel that we should really make a time for a meeting with Abassi, she needs to be told about this."
[19:30:59] Batman (grant.kirax) is offline.
[19:36:40] Willow (alias) nodded in agreement with Skyrah. "This is one of those times, as with the demon we encountered in another world, where I firmly believe that putting differences aside and working together is the best option. This is not an enemy that will discriminate between us, but rather destroy us all. Just as he would have. During the fae party, the shadelings that appeared were dispatched with....I would say relative ease but part of what was being used was fire. The most troubling thing is that....shipments have been running late. Though perhaps this is the new harbor master's doing. I have not returned an agreement with her because I have already worked such things out with another prior to her being hired. But either way, if this is the case, this can be the start of the poverty seen in my visions. It can cause a chain reaction."
[19:43:25] Valkyrie Asta Munthe remained silent for a long while as she thought. "Yes...I've heard about the late shipments. I'm sending my secretary to have a word with the harbor master. If this continues, we could start to lose very vital supplies like those used for medical purposes and food." She didn't know what to do, and felt the stress of it all rest on her shoulders like a boulder. "Everything has that one thing that makes it tick, destroys it, etc. It's just...going to have to take a bit more time to research..."
[19:49:06] ѕкץяαн ℓuиαзdgз (lilmia91) did not know about the late shipments or such for she had no reason for them but she could understand where that could be troublesome. "If you can set up a meeting with Abassi do let me know, I will be kept in disguise though. Thats one person I do not want to know who I am." It was then that Alice came over to the Alpha and whispered something in her ear, a soft sigh escaped her lips "my apologies but I have to get back to the den, it seems another pack mate has turned for the worse and I should be with them." It was then that she stood up and pulled her mask back up "thank you again for meeting with us Valkyrie, Viveka if you do anymore research or find anything out please let me know. I shall be in the den if you need me." She gave a slight bow of her head before turning around to head out, her two guards moved to flank right behind her unless she was stopped.
[19:54:01] Willow (alias) nodded her head and gave a small smile to Sky, though more people not doing well was just as troubling. There had been more than enough loss lately. Some more close to home than others. "Safe travels," she would call out as the trio started to head out. She looked back to Valkyrie and fussed with her hair more, making it messier but making an eye more visible. "Well, I suppose as long as it is not just me, I do not need to worry too much about her just trying to withhold things. However I do not know how much she could be having delivered for me since there is a fair bit of mine that is taken care of here on the island. I would venture to guess that it has something to do with the feeling of the island flying through the ocean. Surely a moving island is difficult enough to find and follow to begin with. But with the quakes and what not...the stars are changing."
[20:03:12] Valkyrie Asta Munthe watched as Alice spoke to Syrah and frowned upon hearing her words. "Of course....any time you wish to meet again, do let me know...My prayers are with your pack mate," she would say softly. She wished she new of a sound way that could help the pack, but...she just didn't know how. "I don't know...this island is just..." She sighed and looked towards Willow with a frown. "I'm at a loss, to be honest. "
[20:06:46] Willow (alias) had to nod her head in agreement, though with a slight chuckle. "Can you imagine potentially having the knowledge of the realms in the palms of your hands if you simply know what to ask and still not having the slightest clue how to explain this place? I would not be one bit surprised if the lack of deities here has something to do with all of this. It is the first that I recall where it was not just that there was only one Goddess, but a void where others may exist entirely. Perhaps there is some sort of connection to that and the shadelings. Sophia even warns that the Umbra is darker here than it is in other places. I suppose I did not see it at it's worst, but we managed to get out before there were any run ins with the creatures. And what is worse, the shaderot seems to even impact the spirits. The one we spoke with....it was suffering from the disease somehow. She was doing something to fight them off, to prevent the shadelings from doing more damage."

Resolve 5-6Her Precious
Viveka was determined to stick to her guns and not let something out of her sight so that it could be lost again, no matter if others insisted she handed it over. World was in danger, yo!
[2015/07/29 20:21:51] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me is also totally not sitting facing the table just btw...but ya know....animations only let me do so much.....
[2015/07/29 20:22:07] Abassi: /me trotted down from the upstairs, her heavy footfalls against the wood causing it to creak at her weight and she blinked at the sight of new faces within the Hall " Ah hello. Welcome ta da Warden's Keep. How can I help ya?" she adjusted the belt around her waist and smiled towards the two, approaching charismatically.
[2015/07/29 20:23:22] Cirden Fang: /me his logic made sense to him, and that is what was important. An he seemed to give a big grin, probably expecting her to have gotten his logic and agreed with it, then, he nodded <"Alright. If there is anything dont be afraid to ask."> he seemed to be abled body and quite capable to do things if need be! But he watched, as she went to go put that towel in something that wasnt even there and he chuckled a bit as he shook his head, <"I... dont think I've learned your name."> the archaic elven flew from his lips, then common words were spoken and those pupiless blues slinked over towards Abassi with confusion...
[2015/07/29 20:28:55] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me felt like she had met an elf similar to him before, in a lot of ways. Maybe it was just all of that type that was like that. <"Viveka."> she offered in response to her name. When Abassi walked in, she quickly pulled herself up to her feet with the help of the walking stick. She smiled and offered a bow to the woman, as best as she was capable of though nothing compared to her normal, over the top antics. When she bowed, she realized she was dripping water all over the floor and looked back to the seat where she'd been sitting and had left a puddle on the furs, and also by the front desk where she'd originally be standing. "Oh...my apologies, I seem to be making a bit of a mess where I go in here." She shook that thought out of her head and smiled again to the woman. "I am unsure if you recall me from the other day when the man showed up at the tavern going on about the ring? And we were suppose to bring Chione down the next day and exchange the ring but it never happened?" She lifted her hand that
[2015/07/29 20:28:55] Viveka (themis.adasia): held the towel with the ring inside. "Well, the dragon came last night looking for it, but Chione had left it on the bar and another picked it up, but they seemed to have lost it in the bath house." She lowered her hand again, holding the towel close to her body. "I wanted to let you all know since we had spoken with Jahou when all of this got started and you were there the night the man showed up. If you would not mind, I would like to hold on to the ring till the dragoness returns in three days to retrieve it. Simply because it has slipped through our fingers too many times for me to be comfortable with. And also, if you wish to know and understand more of what is going on since you sort of got thrown into it, I can explain as well."

[2015/07/29 20:41:17] Abassi: /me wet her lips and pulled the empty, unlit pipe from the to stuff in one of her belt bags for now as she began to listen to the strangers, well... strangers to her at least, even if she had met them before. " Ahh, did ya fall inta a river? Ya look wetter den a stray dog in da pourin rain.. " her silver hues pulled across the floor to the puddles and only briefly looked miffed. Signaling with a hand to a boy sweeping the hall, she directed him to mop the messes up and turned back to her company. " Can't say Ive met ya pair before." she looked to the man on the ground who stared at her with a quizzical expression, it was oddly familiar but she didn't linger on the thought and reverted her attention to the woman as she mentioned the ring. " I do remembah da ring... ya must of slip my mind, darlin'. Head injury got me not rememberin' da stuff like I used to. " The woman crossed her arms over her chest after pushing some of her mane like hair from her face. " Jahou? Who dat be? Thats a lot of adventurin' for one
[2015/07/29 20:41:18] Abassi: /me ring doe, Vivian. " she paused again to let Viveka continue and turned towards the desk, her brows furrowing for only a brief second at the request. She wanted that damn ring... " Dontcha tink das a bit dangerous, girly? Da dragon might carry ya off aftah or torch da whole isle after retrieval. We were thinkin' about sending it off da isle and tellin' her ta go after it but still is a dangerous game." The woman bent over slightly and leaned on the desk, studying the paperwork a top it while her nails clicked against the surface. " I still think ya should leave it ta da warden's.. we can take care of da dragon, though Id love ta 'ear more about da situation."
[2015/07/29 20:41:28] Taegen V'hoori (alyxz.marenwolf): [Shit >.> Sorry.]
[2015/07/29 20:41:43] Taegen V'hoori (alyxz.marenwolf): [Wall of text XD!]
[2015/07/29 20:43:02] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me has done far worse before!))
[2015/07/29 20:43:38] Taegen V'hoori (alyxz.marenwolf): [Havent we all! I just never notice how much I type hahaha!]
[2015/07/29 20:44:55] Cirden Fang: /me he nodded his head towards the woman, and he was not like any other she had met maybe, who knew truely, as he looked towards the red head and then back to Viveka, giving quite the dumb look, after all not speaking common was such a draw back... he'd reach up and scratch at his hair, and then behind his ear, as he seemed to look between the two women. and again in that archaic Elven, <"What?"> he didnt understand common so he looked between the two, this was the problem he had last night, he just didnt understand the depth of the situation at all, an so he'd stand up and dust himself off a bit. Looking egarly between the two for some sort of explaination!
[2015/07/29 20:50:14] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me clutched to the towel tighter, the woman not remembering them could have been shrugged off but the mention of the head injury made her worry about the passing the ring over even more. "And I have considered running to the Umbra with it while they watched me go so they would know that it was my idea in hopes that they would leave the island alone and try to follow me. Dangerous or not, it was my vision that lead us to Chione. I have been with this incident since it started and I very much wish to make sure it is seen through to the end. We have no guarantees of anything, but sending it off the island could be just as dangerous as giving it to her. We met her last night. She injured Gerald simply for speaking the truth. What might she do if we sent it away for her to have to go and play hide and seek with it again?" She glanced to Cirden when he spoke and remembered he could not understand and she was not about to go translating every last thing that was said. It was too close to the full moon and though
[2015/07/29 20:50:14] Viveka (themis.adasia): still amazingly patient, she didn't have enough for that. <"We are discussing what to do with the ring and who should keep it since it is so dangerous,"> she summarized and looked back to Abassi. "As for being soaked, I found the ring at the bottom of the water in the bath house. Didn't think to dry off. I wanted to get here right away to at least let someone know it had been found.."

[2015/07/29 21:03:52] Abassi: /me was growing frustrated as the conversation progressed and she stood, pivoting on her heels. The redhead listened as patiently as she could while those colorless eyes borrowed into the other woman's unnervingly. " All da more da beast should be slain. It might return. It might try ta kill us all aftah da return... what happens when its just you dere? Ya wont stand notta chance. " the woman grunted and looked towards the door a moment then down to the male who spoke in a language she couldn't understand. There was a sigh and small shake of the head in frustration. " I am tryin' ta protect ya and da people of this isle, Vivan. What if a few Warden's at least escort ya when ya go? For your own safety. "
[2015/07/29 21:04:09] мαε (corgi): shouts: The second she passed the gates to the Keep, she began yelling as loud as those lungs would let her, for help, assistance for the wounded.
[2015/07/29 21:07:21] Cirden Fang: /me he blinked as he looked to Viveka and he nodded his head, he then sighed a little as he then spoke <"Obvisouly you."> he stated with a nod of his head as he waited to see what was going to be said, even though he doubted he would understand, then he heard shouting and his ears pirked up as he looked at Viveka worriedly and he furrowed his brwos, yeah the rest of this conversation flew in one ear and out the other.... and he seemed vastly concerned now... as he paced a bit not liking the shouting.
[2015/07/29 21:08:35] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me seemed to have forgotten a big piece of her intention when she explained things. She blinked and blushed, biting her lip nervously. "I...actually had no intent of going on my own. I simply wished to hold it myself to make sure it did not get lost again. We have had too difficult a time keeping track of it when Chione had it. It's just paranoia that makes me wish to hold it. But I have absolutely no intention of facing this dragon by myself. Take it from me before we she arrives even. I am too afraid of someone else wandering off with it before then though. Three days is all we need to hold onto this. I do not care what you do with it, just....let me hold it those three days. Kill her if you like. I am no warrior. Send it off, though I think that is not the best of ideas myself." Her ears twitched at the shouting going on outside and pointed towards the door. "Perhaps this is a debate best left for later and we should see what help is needed? I can run and get Cy."

[2015/07/29 21:23:14] Abassi: /me felt the crawling under her skin subside as Viveka agreed to let the Warden's have some hand in the dealing. Three days. Three days to get the ring. The Harbinger smiled and nodded, " Of course. I just didn't want ta see a pretty face hurt." she reached out to place a gloved hand onto the woman's shoulder but retracted it as a shout was heard from outside and began stepping immediately for the door. " Ah yes, da night calls it seems." And out the door she went to investigate...
[2015/07/29 21:25:03] Cirden Fang: /me he looked towards Viveka and tilted his head to the side a bit as he would indeed start to slink towards the door and out of it looking worriedly at Viveka. <"I'm Cirden... and I hope what ever was discussed will resolve to a happy ending."> he said with a nod as he would open the door for the hurt woman and hold it open.
[2015/07/29 21:27:53] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me wrinkled her nose, really not liking how insistent she had been with wanting the ring, but she also admits to perhaps being overly paranoid with it having dealt with the whole thing it seemed like. She had not been prepared for the touch on the shoulder and froze, no matter how many years passed, she still did that often when not prepared for contact. The words the pack had said about the wardens playing in her mind as Abassi walked out the door, and Cirden's words jogging her out of them. <"As good as it will get for now. May be good to see if they need help. I am going to see if they need a healer.">

[2015/07/29 21:37:45] Abassi: /me scanned the area for the caller and shouted to a nearby sentinel, " Ay who is makin a ruckus?" she asked and they shook their head, pointing to the infirmary. " There was a emergency over there ma'am." He responded and she glanced over her should at Viv, " You said you were a healer?" she inquired but didn't wait for confirmation before trudging up the hill.

[2015/07/29 21:40:02] Cirden Fang: /me he looked over towards her as she walked out and he would follow shortly after closing the door and looking around, people were hustling and he looked to Viveka, <"I'll seek you out a gain soon, concidering you seem to be the only one I can talk to besides other elves."> which there wherent many, and that made him frustrated, but he woul dback up toawrds the gates, and with that take a full run, indeed the full moon was almost upon them, something he had forgotten about, he needed to make sure thsoe in the Wayward were going to be safe.
[2015/07/29 21:41:46] Viveka (themis.adasia): /me shook her head quickly to indicate she was in fact not a healer. "I can cause things that need healing, usually on accident, but my friend runs the infirmaries. I can try to find her or Crystiel." She was already making her way towards the gate as quickly as she could, but she happened to see Jahou up on the wall and grinned up at him. "You had deprived me of trying to glimpse up your loincloth for far too many days!" she called out as she was passing and heading for where she had last left the little satyr girl.

Why Can't We Be Friends?When asked to sit with Skyrah on a meeting with the new harbinger, despite that Elka insisted on hostility with the Wardens, Vik stuck to her convictions that they needed to put their differences aside in order to rid the isle of the darkness going on [2015/09/19 16:44:26] /me ||Watched quietly as the man walk over to where they were, she said nothing after he spoke for quite a few minutes. Her glowing eyes looking over the man, eying the weapons before her harden gaze looked him in the eyes. "Possibly, depends who you are looking for" her tone held a bit of a growl, not one that was to be mean. But the Alpha meant business and she did not care for the wardens at all. [2015/09/19 16:44:30] Ella (maiacalhoun): /me quirks an eyebrow and and nods, turning to the side just as she sees Bradock rise and head to the table where the cloaked figures sat and then looks back to Cedar speaking, nodding as what she said made sense "Alright, half of it then. And I will just take the ink from you.. that seems a lot more practical.. And you do have the right idea but it is in times like this people should actually pool their resources together... Hmm.. So what is it that you wanted to know?", she crosses her arms once more and faces the Tavern Owner while one eye kept at the table where the wolves sat as well, though she really had no way to be sure it was them. Ella adds in turn to Cedar, "If you do begin -nurturing- plants and -creating- supplies, you be needing protection... people get more unscrupulous in times of sickness and shortage. Have you come across anyone afflicted these days? I am yet unsure what this sickness is.. does it spread by touch? So many questions...", she muttered half to herself, of course, herself [2015/09/19 16:44:30] Ella (maiacalhoun): being immune to disease and all, it made her all the more worried. [2015/09/19 16:50:06] Kraa String: is online. [2015/09/19 16:51:39] Bradock (katarr): /me | Upon hearing Ella begin to speak of the illness that had been afflicting the people, Bradock's attention shifts from the woman before him to Cedar and Ella. For a few brief moments, he listens intently to the topic at hand before addressing the women who had spoke. "I am looking for a Singarti representative. Allow me to introduce myself - I am Bradock Moraeu, the, Harbinger after my predecessor . I understand there have been high attentions between the Singarti and the Wardens in the past and in light of this new..." There is a pause for him to search for the right words. "threat, to the Isle, I would like to, at the very least, hope to foster a new amicable relationship going forward." [2015/09/19 16:54:54] Kraa String: is offline. [2015/09/19 16:57:36] Marissa Ellison (jafar.tarantal): is online. [2015/09/19 17:00:04] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me wasn't sure the alpha intended to answer the man after so much silence had passed, but when she finally did a smug smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. The tone in her voice and her words delighting her just a bit. His words only made the smirk grow into a full blown smile, but not one of happiness. There were other thoughts that were going through her head. Crossing her arms, she leaned to the side a bit towards the alpha and then turned her eyes to her, whispering, "It's funny who comes running to make amends in such situations..." [2015/09/19 17:00:32] "Willow" (alias) (Themis Adasia): /me quietly made her way into the tavern, not using the staff as a walking stick. With the way her memory worked, she did not need it so long as she knew her exact location. But it helped! The mask blocked her eyes, since the one thing she could not seem to change about herself was her eye color. Blasted things. She walked in as Ella spoke of the illnesses going on. She was not unaware of the things that had been happening to the island. She'd seen them in her vision. But she had spent much of her time as of late trying to find more answers, to find out the one guiding the shadelings, but with no luck. All she saw was the darkness that was taking over. "Such an ironic word to use when speaking of such dark matters, in both the literal and figurative sense," she said once she had stopped just a few short feet from behind Bradock. All she was seeing was the back of him, but she remembered him from the one time he had come down to the Opium Den, though he never had talked with her about whatever it was he had [2015/09/19 17:00:32] /me wanted to talk of.... She would lean to the side and nod in greeting to the two packmates that sat at the table, but made no other moves to sit or do anything else but stand and appear to be blind...well...she did find herself smiling and silently laughing at Elka's comment. It was too true. [2015/09/19 17:00:50] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): /me herself had seen the odd ill person here and there. But she hadn't paid it any mind. It wasn't that Cedar held any immunity but when you could do as Cedar could, as a healer, both natural and with magic's touch, and, if we're honest, when you usher the dead to the land of the living, illness fast becomes a thing you grow numb about. Shrugging, she brushed off the topic of those ill, with that numb disregard, but nodded for what the warden said about resources. "Protection ... aye. An' d'ye mean ta offer such?" She jutted her chin in the direction Bradock had walked. "Been told as yon man has found himself tha new Harbinger o' yer lot. Am no' goin' ta bother ta ask tha why or how - I dint care meself. Better tha' I know ye, than the one I'd not." A brief grin rose on her face, "But if'n ye'd like ta aid me, do think as ensurin' we've tha soil fer growin' plants a'tall wuid be tha first bit o' importance." With a lift of an inquiring brow and a shift of her weight forward in a manner that [2015/09/19 17:00:50] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): jaunted her hip as she tilted her head, Cedar proposed her newly grown idea. "D'ye hae yer wardens gather up wha' soil they can, an' be sure as it no be blackened an' filled wi' yon forest's ichor -- an' worms besides. Will need those ta keep turnin' tha soil, me thinks. Shuid set a pritty plot o' it somewher eas is safe indoors an' away from tha ichor's spreadin' as long as it can be. Tha'd be tha best fer ensurin' we've food fer a time." She left the thought hanging there in the air. It was by no means a glorious endeavor she proposed, and while she let it stew there, the idea of making a way to potentially have food, and moved on to the matter of questions. "What ways are ye different than tha rest o' humans then, lass?" she asked, turning and gesturing to the table with a curious look - did Ella wish to sit? "Migh' be tha easiest place ta start." [2015/09/19 17:04:35] /me Chuckled softly at Bradock's words, her eyes never left the mans. Though catching the conversation between Cedar and Ella made her think she would need to talk to Cedar later. Standing up the she-wolf walked closer to the man "I am the representative of the Singarti, Sopha, the Alpha." She then looked down at the weapons then back to his eyes "we told Gerald we would be unarmed but here you are armed to the tooth. Makes me wonder what your true intentions are." Her voice was guarded as she spoke "High attentions, you could say that. They killed a wolf and nearly ended my life. I do not trust you and your wardens." At Elka's words she chuckled "you speak the truth sister, its quite funny.." Then her eyes went to Viveka, a slight tilt of her head at the other wolf but she said nothing, glad the other wolf was here in case well... she got too fired up.

[2015/09/19 17:11:53] Ella (maiacalhoun): /me shrugs, nodding as Cedar spoke, she was definitely not as unperturbed as she was as her worry evidently showed on her face, creased lines on her forehead and a slight frown in place of her usual polite grin. She would first follow the woman after she hears her speak, to take a seat at the table nearby, trying her best to face Bradock and the others he was holding negotiations with, she did have to be vigilant as well and so amid the conversation, golden eyes flicked from them to Cedar every now and then. Cedar was talking about making an indoor plot? And have the warden till soil? It takes her a bit to understand the woman's gaelic like speech but then she nods, still staying polite and calm despite hearing the comments at the other table, "Hmm.. The warden can provide you a small space.. safe indoors.. and guarded from predators or thieves.. but I am afraid asking them to till land can be a bit of a tall order.. We can find folk much better equipped at such tasks for you if you do wish to take that idea [2015/09/19 17:11:53] Ella (maiacalhoun): to fruition.. but you must assure that the produce that you cultivate must be used for feeding the general public.. by a proper rationing system and not... for any selfish gains...", she finishes that and then looks up again at Bradock talking, her frown deepening as one of the females seemed perturbed, she would not though move from her spot just as yet, Bradock was there. She would instead turn back to Cedar "Hmm.. in what ways do you mean? We are built the same... have the same blood.. organs.. and such.. within us.. except in terms of looks we might have lighter hair.. and brighter eyes.. We are just.. well lets just say we are lucky to be born blessed and have affinity to all things holy... " [2015/09/19 17:12:50] Bradock (katarr): /me suddenly turns as he hears a new voice arise from behind him. As he does, he comes face to face with a new arrival, one that, with the way she had spoken, had accompanied the Singarti. There are a few blinks of his eyes as he stares down onto her. Looking to, where her eyes would be if she were not wearing a mask. "I -love- that mask." He says with an index finger extending to point towards the object that covered her eyes. "Where can I get one of those, the seamstress, trappers?" Even in the face of what was potentially apocalypse, seems even Bradock had time for pleasantries. Though, he would soon grow more serious as he turns once again to face the woman that had introduced herself as Sophia. "The last I checked, your people were able to turn into very powerful creatures that included claws and teeth that could easily rip through the flesh of man in itself. You are never -truly- unarmed." With a shrugging of his shoulders soon to follow, Bradock raises both hands into the air, palm facing outwards. [2015/09/19 17:12:50] Bradock (katarr): "But, as a show of goodwill. I shall disarm myself." Slowly, Bradock begins to reach for the weapon at his side. Each action done deliberately slower than it needed to be to not stir the suspicions of those around him. One by one, he would disarm his swords and place them along the nearby table. "Who killed a wolf and injured you? I have no knowledge of this. My predecessor quite the ill will towards your people, Sophia. I have come here to inform you that her intentions are not the same as mine."

[2015/09/19 17:16:35] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me gave the quick lift of her chin in greeting to Willow and then found herself pouting just the tiniest of bits. It wasn't that she didn't want the woman here, but now she was sure there was no chance things would get interesting. She would keep the alpha in line. Giving a soft huff she dropped her cheek into her hand and her elbow onto the arm of the chair. Never once did her eyes leave the man though, staring him down as if she considered possibly pouncing and having a quick meal. She began to tap her fingers against her cheek picturing the man's own sword through his neck. Or better yet, her teeth. Blood flowing. She was sure red and dead would look beautiful on him.

[2015/09/19 17:23:13] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): /me took up the chair beside Ella, remaining quiet and listening as the other spoke. Her attention had drifted to the others across the tavern as well, not to mention the attention of Helga and the other various patrons within. Who /wouldn't/ be looking at a group of mysterious and beautiful women standing head to head with the newly minted harbinger? Helga, with a good enough mind for business she /hadn't/ yet been fired by Cedar despite the woman's horrible name, gathered up a round of tankards and poured a pitcher of mead, taking the lot of it to the group and handing tankards that were soon filled to the brim -- whether they wished them to be or not! Cedar, nodding in an approving way, looked back to the warden whom she sat beside. She hadn't realised that the alpha meant to do any business with the wardens here, but it had quickly become apparent there was something going down. If she could keep Ella here, instead of /there/ in case shit hit the fan -- all the while attaining her own ends of [2015/09/19 17:23:13] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): information and the issue of supplies! Well - she wasn't one to not take the chance! And so, with a shake of her head quite suddenly for what Ella had said, Cedar lilted, "I dint need ye ta be tillin' lass. I've magic as can make tha seeds wi'in a guid plot o' land grow ta tha need o' harvestin' wi'in moments, y'ken?" She held up her hands, which were not at all clean but covered in various parts by dirt and the other by ink. "Wha' I'm askin' is ye get me tha soil as mun be needed ta do sae, an' tha odd critters as help ta keep tha soil fresh, aye? An' then tha' ye mun keep it safe. I'll get tha seeds, an' do tha growin' as we need it. An' we'll hae food as can be given ta keep fed." When the answers began to the question she'd posed, Cedar leaned back in her chair with a thoughtful expression. "An' how much o' ye are alike ta tha angels then? D'ye fly? Hae wings? I'd thought as I'd kent one or twa o' yer kind who did afore. An' is there anythin' tha' harms ye or doesna work fer ye as it do [2015/09/19 17:23:13] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): wi' a regular human?" Though she'd just asked what she did, catching wind of the man speaking of disarming Cedar couldn't help but glance again his way. "Yer man's no' goin' ta start trouble wi' yon lassies, I hope?" she asked Ella. "Fer it'd no' be verra guid if he did ..." Perhaps it was counterintuitive for her to ask, given the man /was/ offering to disarm. But whoever understood the fae's mind, anyway? [2015/09/19 17:23:16] "Willow" (alias) (Themis Adasia): /me would actually be giving off an impression of calmness. She very rarely, if ever, riled up. It was just who she was. And if it wasn't for the fact that doing so would put her in danger, she would actually correct him that not all could shift to such dangerous creatures. That was just one of those things better left unsaid, however. Namely since she's pretty sure she's the only one that couldn't shift. The fact that he went on about her mask, though....well...it made her like him more. No sense in always being all grumpy, fuddy duddy serious, was there?! A hand would lift and touch her mask while a smile crept across her face. "Really? So you think it looks good? It has been with me for several hundred years actually. Made by one whom took me in and guided me in my youth. She always told me that being unable to be distracted by the world around me allows one to better see what is truly going on. Lies cannot hide from one who cannot see them. And this," she said, lifting her staff, "was to teach those whom [2015/09/19 17:23:16] /me try to lie a lesson with a quick smack to the head." The grin was still on her face. She wasn't a threat, not by any means. Probably the least physically threatening of any of the pack if you exclude magic and the creep factors that were in her hands. She mostly missed the response that Elka had given her since she couldn't see her, and the huff was mostly unnoticed as well. That was her, destroyer of dreams! "I did not see this incident, so I cannot comment on what transpired that night. It is true that shifters can become quite dangerous, however, I would hope that if the warden had been able to avoid ending a life, they would have taken that path."

We may have our beastly forms but shifting takes time, and I wouldn't waist that for you." Eying him as he went to remove his weapon, her eyes glaring...daring him to try to make a move and she didn't look back to his face till the weapon was on the table. "Three wardens, I do not know their names but I know there is one still working in the wardens, a woman who is the blacksmith. She wasn't even in charge when this happened but I know how Abassi was, I saw how the wardens are." There was disgust in her words "your intentions might not be the same but that does not mean all your wardens feel the same and I do not trust you. My pack is growing by the day and we don't make alliances easily. Only with those we trust and trust is earned, not given." She felt the same as Elka, but with Viveka here it was most likely she wouldn't lose control. But her wolf was coming out, closer to the surface as the conversation went on.

And as she hears the one that just arrived speak, her silver eyebrow does quirk, for that one did seem -calm-, her hopes at the discussion going amicably slightly raised. She then turns as Cedar spoke, "Well.. cleaning the soil of critters... hmmm there might be some way to do that... I can ask around.. ", she shrugs, letting go of that there and then adds, it was probably lucky Cedar had picked Ella to answer such questions, as lying was something Ella could not do. "We are capable of flight yes. But it is not something that many aren't capable of, yes? We are -similar- to angels, hmm.. in appearance maybe, and in the fact that we can perhaps... like I said.. we are more in tune with all things holy and that.. well.. does make those unholy uncomfortable around us... and vice versa as well...

An unmistakable grin crosses his facial features as he nods back to her. "Ah, is it one of a kind them? That is my misfortune then. But, yes, it looks quite nice, intimidating even. Your Master sounds quite wise." His eyes shift then onto Elka then, who seemed to be considerate of eating him for a meal. Although his eyebrows arch curiously from where that stemmed from, his speaks to Sophia once more with his attention refocusing upon her. "The wolf you lost, I am sorry, sincerely." Closing his eyes, the Warden bows his head for a moment of silence to pass before he looks upon her once more with a solemn expression. "You have my word, once this threat to The Isle has settled, I will personally look into the Wardens that attacked your pack, and they will face justice." Slowly, hish ead shakes from side to side. "The other Wardens WILL [2015/09/19 17:43:51] Bradock (katarr): follow." This was a singular statement, that hinged on a demand tha twas made with the typical confidence that Bradock held. "I understand you may not trust me, or my fellow Wardens, I understand this. I am not asking for much from you or your pack, merely an agreement and understanding that whatever threatens Valesk is bigger than the atrocities either of our people may of preformed against one another in the past. All I hope, is that we may be able to cooperate." [2015/09/19 17:44:45] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): is online. [2015/09/19 17:45:24] Marissa Ellison (jafar.tarantal): is online.

Her gaze still locked upon him. She needed no reason to eat him, it's just how she was. The barbarian woman could attest to that. The words and emotion in the alpha's voice pulled her from them and for just a split second she was a bit disappointed until she realized just how worked up the alpha was getting. Wiping the bit of drool from her lips with the back of her hand, she languidly stood up and moved to stand a bit behind and to the right of the alpha leaning forward to whisper into her ear, "I know I need not to remind you, but...trust no one." Her eyes trailed over his body and then back up to his face, "He did come armed when he said he would be unarmed after all..."

[2015/09/19 17:53:09] "Willow" (alias) (Themis Adasia): /me would have looked towards Skyrah if she could see. She couldn't, but her head did turn in that general direction, her lips pursing and wondering how long she should wait before she tried to impose a calm among the group. She had hoped that Braddock's statements would be enough to keep her temper down. Oh if only she could have heard the whispers being exchanged! She'd go into full on lecture mode after that! Her head would turn back to Bradock as he went on, both hands clasping her staff which was rested in front of her in a vertical position. "It is what one may call one of a kind, in that she only made the one for me, but many of us with certain gifts wore masks looking very similar. It is just bone, wood and furs. Another could be fashioned if you so desired. Mimicry, after all, is the best form of flattery." She would step to the side, closer to Skyrah. Elka was the devil on the alpha's shoulder apparently while she was to be the angel, though her words were spoken aloud and not whispered. "If you [2015/09/19 17:53:09] /me wish to know my opinion on this matter, Sophia, he is correct in that we need to focus on the larger problem. I am not shy about my beliefs that the island itself needs to put aside their differences in one another and join to end the curse falling over our homes. The whole is of greater value than the individual. If all that remains is the pack on a destroyed island, what have we really accomplished?"

[2015/09/19 18:00:43] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): /me turned back most of her attention towards Ella despite the fact they both probably wished to be on the other side of the tavern. She could tell that Ella paid attention in that direction as well, as she had, but that the woman stayed here and answered the questions she had pleased the small fae. "Aye," she murmured, considering everything said and all that'd been shared, and seeing as she /was/ fae after all, considering if there was something else she should ask, to get what had /not/ yet been shared. "An' anythin' we mun ken fer tha healin'? she lilted at last. "It be fer tha healers as I be askin' me questions y'ken," which if Ella was at all familiar with legend of fae, must realise Cedar couldn't have told that to her if it was a lie. "Tha lady physician has a desire ta gather up as much o' tha knowledge as we migh'nt hae fer ta be able ta best tend ta those on tha isle, eh?" And after another moment's thought, Cedar shifted forward in her seat, and since Helga finished passing round drinks to [2015/09/19 18:00:43] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): the wolves and the harbinger, she swung by this way with the pitcher of mead and tankards as well. Reaching up, Cedar took one of the offered tankards in hand. "Are ye holy yerself, lass?" she asked Ella then and with a fixture of ehr gaze upon the woman that was rather interested and rather direct. [2015/09/19 18:01:36] Ella (maiacalhoun): is offline.

Elka's whispers got a nod but then there was Vivika on the other side of her saying the opposite. She just put her hands up to just shush the two as her thoughts went around the whole thing. "I will not have an alliance... its utter bullshit.." just bluntly speaking but then continued "though what is going on with the isle... not just one group can handle. We will work with the Wardens but only with the issue at hand, even during this any other shit the pack will not take part of and we wont follow any rules of the Wardens. We follow our own and that will be all." She would take the drink from Helga and quickly downed it, Viveka would probably scold her later knowing how the alpha got very easily drunk.

[2015/09/19 18:07:05] Bradock (katarr): /me cranes his head over his shoulder to address the woman behind him once more. "I must admit, I believe it may be a rather fun endeavor to train blindfolded. Training is no fun unless you are truly pushing yourself, yes? As for the mask, indeed, I would love one of my own if you do not mind. But, with recent events, I fully understand if you cannot find the time to fashion one. If you do though, I would be greatly appreciative." As Helga moves around to pass out drinks, Bradock extends his hand to wrap around the handle of the drink and playfully winks back towards the barmaid. He would raise the drink to his lips and, unlike Sophia did, just lightly take the occasional sip from the drink. When he lowers it, it is with a smile tossed back towards Sophia. "For now, these are acceptable conditions, you have my gratitude." And Bradock allows as silence to pass between them, one that he fills with the tankard moving to his lips and for an audible gulp of the drink to be taken before he lowers it and speaks [2015/09/19 18:07:05] Bradock (katarr): once more. "I understand your people live deep within the forest. It is my suspicion that whatever is creeping towards Aberwyth, your people are the first to come in contact with it. If you do not mind, any useful information you can share is highly valued." [2015/09/19 18:11:28] Ella (maiacalhoun): /me heard the talk go on at the other table, and the frown deepens, in fact her attention was definitely there also, especially since Brad was unarmed. Still she does pay attention to Cedar, clearly dutiful and she nods at her "Hmmm as far as healing is concerned, most of our ilk are indeed attuned to the gods and can perhaps pray in a far more effective manner than those that you would call.. normal.. but we do not possess special.. healing skills as such... though.. well I personally am from a School of magic that does imbibe me with some healing capabilities. And if that would help.. I would gladly offer my services.. I would also ask of anyone within the Warden to aid if they knew anything such... the present situation.. and anything we need to do to combat it.. I am thoroughly in line with...", she sighs, her words rang true despite the weariness in her voice. She would then look at Cedar and quirk an eyebrow at her last question "Why yes I am.. as holy as I have been trained to be... ", she does [2015/09/19 18:11:28] Ella (maiacalhoun): sound.. a tad proud. [2015/09/19 18:12:22] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me took the tiniest of steps back when the alpha held up her hand to quiet the two of them. Her eyes looked to Viveka and then back to Bradock. The disappointment caused her to reach for one of the mugs from the barmaid. She didn't even like mead. Lifting the mug to her lips, she mumbled to the alpha, "All I'm saying is that ridding them of their heads is an equal and just as worthy of a solution. Less mouths to feed and we won't have to wait for one of them to slide their swords into our backs." Taking a sip, her gaze shifted to the alpha over the top of the mug and she gave her a playful look like she just couldn't help herself. She gave Bradock one last cursory glance and then focused on her drink. [2015/09/19 18:14:48] "Willow" (alias) (Themis Adasia): /me would easily silence when Skyrah wished for her to. In the end, she got as much as she had hoped for. She never imagined Skyrah would let bygones be bygones and act like nothing had happened in the past. It wasn't to say that she could be blamed either. Vik just always had to hope for an unrealistic level of peace. It is said that seers could often be out of touch with reality, after all! That was it for her! When she received her drink, it would go down perhaps quicker than Skyrah's had. She'd tried to not drink too much, what with the shortage going on and all. She had to savor every last little bit. She was the pack lush, after all. And she probably would not be doing any scolding. At least not at one, but she would be keeping a better eye on Sky....figuratively speaking, of course. Her head would turn Skyrah's way when Bradock went on about what was happening. They had planned in the past to speak with Abassi about the visions and these events before they had happened. But that was Valk's job to have [2015/09/19 18:14:49] /me set up and the woman was gone now it seemed. Hopefully, Skyrah would know what VIk was thinking without anything having to be said. That they needed to share what they knew. Elka's words caused her head to move in her direction, disappointment setting in on her own face. "That path will lead us to the deaths of more pack members, not just out of retribution, but also because we alone cannot combat what we are facing," she would say calmly, perhaps speaking out of line, especially to one that was training to be a beta, but the words of a seer should also be heeded. At least in her mind they should be. [2015/09/19 18:16:52] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): is offline. [2015/09/19 18:19:46] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): And now that her final question had been answered - and in a way that was pleasing to the fae, Cedar stood with a smile, abrupt and clearly happy. Kicking a foot up, she hoisted herself onto the chair she'd previously been sitting upon, and tossed back a drink of the mead before raising her tankard -- looking for all the world as if she meant to give a sudden, impromptu toast? "Oy! Lass!" she called out, with eyes set directly upon the glamoured alpha. "This be tha man an' tha woman as ye'd seen from yon tree, aye?" Cedar gestured towards Ella with her free hand and cocked a brow. That done, the fae hopped back down, and spun back towards Ella with clear lack of interest in however her ambiguous statement would cause the alpha and the other wolves to react. "I need ye ta set tha wilds afire wi' yon holy fire, Ella. If ye dint hae fire ye can craft on yer own, than do ye gather as much in truth as ye can an' bless it! Afore tha blackness takes this whole isle down!!" .... talk of holy fires to purge [2015/09/19 18:19:46] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): and burning down the woods? And to think, the fae wasn't even drunk! [2015/09/19 18:26:10] /me Eyes the man, still not trusting him or the wardens. Hearing Elka she snorted "you have no idea how happy that would make me Elka." But Viveka also spoke truth...she was about to say something to Viveka about the visions but then Cedar started talking. She let out a growl and stepped closer to Bradock and attempted to grab his shirt "you were the one" a snarl escaped her lips. "YOU CUT DOWN THE TREE! YOU WERE THE ONE TO START THIS!" A deeper growl escaped her lips as she glared, her eyes glowing even more. Then her eyes went wide as Cedar started speaking about fires and the forest "Fire of the forest? what foolishness you speak?!"

Until a suddenly realization hits him and he glances down into the mug. "Hey, I thought you were out of alcohol? When did this come in?" It was then he feels a hand reaching out to grab him from his shirt and tug him towards her. In the action, the mug in his hands spills, causing it to spill somewhat onto the floor and even splash along his boots. Though, this was temporarily unnoticed - until it begins to soak in to his socks. As his eyes settle back upon the woman in the white canine hood. "Cut down a tree?" He asks in confusion. "I've never cut down a tree in Valesk, what are you talking about?" There was a genuine look of confusion to cross his facial expression. Regardless of the situation or the fact that the Singarti woman just had, what was to Bradock, a completely random outburst, he appears to remain relatively calm.

The alpha was all riled up, perhaps this night was going to be more than lost time and a bore. There was no move made to stop her from doing anything even amongst his claims of innocent. That's what they all said. Cells were filled with men who screamed their innocence to who ever would listen. The excitement almost caused her to begin to shift, but she caught herself and held it back keeping it just at the surface should she need to.

Halting at the table near them as she leaned on it and posed the same question once more to the one that was holding Bradock's shirt "Wait.. what is it that you speak of??", she then whips her head around to Cedar, similarly incredulous as she spoke "What holy fire is it that you speak of? And does it seem -remotely- sensible to burn the forests to clear an epidemic?? I do not possess holy fire! I possess a holy... -light- a light that can illuminate places and keep the evil away! Oh gods!", she sighs and smacks her forehead in a classic facepalm momentarily before she looks around at everyone in the scene, the mumble of the [2015/09/19 18:38:56] Ella (maiacalhoun): folks that were in the tavern now ceasing at the amusing scene unfolding. [2015/09/19 18:40:27] "Willow" (alias) (Themis Adasia): /me didn't really know what was going on with the cutting down of trees and the likes, but she got enough out of Sky to get the idea. When Skyrah made her move, she backed away quickly so as to not accidentally get caught in the grabbing. Just because she knew where everything was didn't mean it was a good idea for her to get knocked over! Everything had been okay, relatively calm, and then Cedar had to go and talk! But having answers was better than having none, at the same time. "Sophia, if it had not been him, it would have been another. The vision did not give us the source, only the results," she tried to say, keeping herself calm even still though inside she was getting a little panicked. She clasped her staff with both hands, tapping lightly on the ground. She focused inward, calming herself, eyes closing and letting out a soft, long breath. She would focus on her inner calm and begin to push it outwards, the sense starting to ooze from her. She ought to get some sort of hazard pay being Skyrah's [2015/09/19 18:40:27] /me personal, portable Zen machine. His words caused her head to move in his direction and tilt to the side, though she continued to focus on what she was trying to do. Keeping the peace so things didn't get broken! Granted if he had been the one that caused all of this to happen, a broken nose would have been okay. She was more worried about tables and chairs and....that poor mead that had just gone to waste. She'd mourn that later. She would try to test his honesty once everyone was calm and at peace again....if everyone got calm that is....eventually.

She took another drink of the mead -- for it'd only been whiskey and rum they were out! Not the rest -- yet! And then slowly followed along behind. "Weel, then mebbe yer light migh'nt help? 'Tis sae dark in there, aye? But why can ye no' make holy fire like how one can make water holy as weel?" Not that the holy water she'd fed the forest earlier that day had done much to help. But this fae was /determined/ to cleanse the woods of the ichor! Glancing over to Skyrah, she merely shrugged at the alpha's confusion. And then the fae took another drink. [2015/09/19 18:49:33] /me Growled deeply, her hand squeezing as she attempted to lift the man with the strength of her wolf "lies, all lies!" The Alpha was definitely worked up, moreso then usual "you come here speaking lies, wardens changing! All bullshit! The tree, the darkness, the shadelings! You brought this to the forest! I saw it in a vision, saw you" she motions to the woman with the spear "cut down the sacred tree! Your mates, that makes this both of your fault!" Shaking her head she attempts to throw the man against the wall, a growl escaping her lips. "The Singarti will not be helping you with anything! Whats done is done. You stay out of the forest! All ye wardens or I will see to it that your throats be ripped out!" Her wolf was almost ready to take over, she felt her body wanting to shift but she really attempted to keep herself from doing so. Looking to Viveka she snarled slightly "lets go to the den... if you have those teas I need one."

She put her focus back on the two as he was lifted into the air and took another large swig from the mug in her hand. She had no intention of de-escalating the situation, not when it was just getting good. Just when she was about to get comfortable and egg on the alpha a bit more, but no to the den she says. Buh.

Though, it was just as he says these words, that he feels the Singarti woman shove him within the direction of the wall. Though, Bradock does not seem to particularly resist the throw.

The man complains, hand reaching behind his head and rubbing against his skull as he slowly begins to rise from his slouched position and stands. [2015/09/19 19:00:59] мαε (corgi): is offline.

She didn't stop. The sense of calm would begin to pour from her as the spell continued, hopefully strong enough to persuade the agitation coming from others around her. Apparently not Bradock, however, since he didn't seem too phased by being lifted into the air and all of that. "And would it have mattered if it had been you?" she would ask, head turning towards Elka. "We were destined for this path no matter what. He is a pawn in the larger picture, just as I was when I received the vision warning of this. Just as whoever ultimately finds the answer to ending it."

I can show you now if you want! It can illuminate barely this tavern. How can it clear a whole forest of the shadeling's gloom??", she questions the Tavern Keeper and then whips around as the one that called herself alpha spoke, her own aura was supposed to be a calming one to others around, again something she was born with! "Listen, you saw a vision where we chopped down a tree? Then your vision was clearly only -partially- seen. Though before you lose your temper, listen.

You must be... Oh gods!", she rushes to the spot where Bradock sat up at, after being... thrown up against the wall, of course after sparing a few moments to be shocked and giving them all an utterly incredulous look. She would bend beside him and mutter, concerned evidently "Are you.. alright?",she asks of him and then just blinks as the masked one spoke "Pawn? You mean the beings are definitely being controlled by something superior? I had doubted that... but I was not sure as I did not have proof.", she shakes her head, turning to look at Bradock once more.

[2015/09/19 19:12:24] /me Laughed "weak humans" she said as she watched the man after he was thrown to the wall. It was then she snarled, shaking her head as she remembered the tree... saw the vision of the past. "Well as you can see it did spread, you did not help you just made things worse. Your home is not the one that is corrupted by darkness. I am done here." Just as she was about to leave though she felt all the tension and anger leave her body, feeling relaxed and calm which was not normal for her at all. "The vision I saw, I saw you fighting a shadeling... It laughed when you cut the tree down and thanked you! it thanked you and then the forest is now covered in darkness, you freed the thing and now it is taking over." Her voice now held calmness to it, she walked past the couple looking to Cedar "we shall meet up soon yes?" Then looking to Viveka and Elka "lets go to the den shall we?" She did not mean their home either. [2015/09/19 19:13:02] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((sorry, on the phone! i know its not my turn yet but mine may be delayed a bit more than usual!)) [2015/09/19 19:14:05] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): /me would not really have minded watching everything devolve into a good old fashioned brawl. That was the typical entertainment of the tavern after all, and one of its many charms that'd convinced the fae to take it over! But the alpha began talking of the wolves heading off, so she tossed back another gulp of her mead and set the tankard on the counter. Grasping the parchment she'd been writing on earlier, Cedar glanced to Helga and murmured, "Dint be worrit ower tha cost o' those drinks, Helga. It be a round from me ta me friends, aye?" The fae winked at the barmaid - but the statement was true. She considered them all friends after a manner, even if they weren't particularly friends with each other. A pass of her glance to Bradock, if he happened to look the fae's way at all he'd find a nodding approval come from her. After all - he'd not let the drink spill! That in itself was grounds for approval. The feeling of magick wafting suddenly thick through the tavern did nothing to Cedar save ease [2015/09/19 19:14:05] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): the tension from her anxious little bones. She looked about the three wolves, curious as to who had cast their magic, and going off of nothing save looks alone, figured it'd been the one in the mask. Shrugging, and not at all trying to fight that calm feeling, Cedar waved a hand at Ella, dismissing the idea she needed examples of a light that was declared unfit for the use Cedar had in mind. Stepping around the table and rolling the parchment so it could be carried easier, Cedar shoved it thruogh a loop on her belt, next the the book she also had strapped there. And with an eye given the married couple and steps following along the alpha's path, the fae lilted, "Ye can hae dinner on tha house tanight, aye? On account o' yer bein' scuffled. -- aye,up," she said with a look to Skyrah, "I be goin' wi' ye!" Then Cedar turned, to follow Skyrah and the other two, and feeling far more at ease than she could remember feeling in quite some time, the small fae then began to sing. "There's a darkness in tha [2015/09/19 19:14:05] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): woods an' it begins ta creep an' grow wi' it comes tha scent o' rot an' tha chill o' death is blown ..."

[2015/09/19 19:20:26] Bradock (katarr): /me continues to rub the back of his head for a few moments as he stands upright. The hand along the back of his head falls for him to let forth a long drawn out sigh. He then arches an eyebrow back towards Skyrah. "Look, -I- didn't cut down a tree, okay? Whatever may of happened though, whether it was me, Ella, Cedar, you or one of your Singarti - it's irrelevant at this point. This darkness is coming and it's something you or your pack can't face alone." Bradock glances to Ella briefly and nods towards the woman as he reaches for the two swords along the table and sheathes them at his side and along his back once more. "We don't have time to point fingers or stand divided in all of this." Just as Skyrah was ready to leave, so was Bradock. For he grins back down towards Ella. "I have a bit of a headache all of a sudden, mind helping me tend to that?" Turning his back towards the group that was departing, he too would begin to leave, but, not without tossing a glance over his shoulder and a thumbs up to the [2015/09/19 19:20:26] Bradock (katarr): alpha. "When you realize this and are ready to help, come find me, okay?" [2015/09/19 19:24:51] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me had started to follow the alpha as she headed towards the den or wherever they were going, but Bradock's words stopped her in her path. Turning towards him, she hesitated for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly, but she was still as calm as could be. Her head tilted and she called to the alpha, "Are you sure you don't want me to just...snap his neck right now? It may not change the situation in the forest, but it would keep others from making the same mistake or even being so...disrespectful."

[2015/09/19 19:28:54] Ella (maiacalhoun): /me was already calm, now extra calm as she sensed a tranquility pass through her, she nods at Cedar as she spoke and she calls out at her "My ink??", before shaking her head at the alpha "No. We -banished- it. It is -done- for. Gone. The forest was being corrupted by its presence and there are more like it that corrupt the forest.. it does seem like it was long in coming.. and it is an ongoing battle... we have been at it since the blight. Slaying every single one that pops up every now and then.. if not me or Bradock, other brave warden, and folks like you and Cedar there who reside in the woods... you battle a lot of evil.. and it is an -ongoing- process...I assure you.. we did not unleash it.", was all she said, it was true. Every word. She then leans forward, picking up Bradock's swords, very slowly, and holding them in an as casual manner as possible to her side, she nods at him and his words, "Aye.. sure thing.", she just, blinks at the reaction of the one behind the alpha and shakes her head "Listen, [2015/09/19 19:28:54] Ella (maiacalhoun): the more you let loose your anger, the more things worsen, save your fury and channel it upon the shadelings in the woods. We don't have to -like- each other, but we can at least -kill- demons together. We had thought you would realize that. And.. respectfully... We have to take our leave now.", she nods, her words spoken in standard Ella politeness, the tranquil spell helped her already calm disposition and she was very ready to depart. [2015/09/19 19:29:06] "Willow" (alias) (Themis Adasia): /me let out another long sigh. While her spell had worked, it seemed to have come too late. She still believed they needed at least a temporary pact. She'd seen other places nearly fall because people could not band together. From now on, she was going to cast that right from the get go! That or shove an apple in Applebottom's mouth to keep her quiet. And hearing Elka speak....she could see that she was going to have to have another discussion about the safety of the pack with Skyrah at some point. Her head would turn towards Ella, trying to put together the best way to explain it. "Not exactly a hand controlling us. The only fixed destiny that we have is death. How we get there is unwritten, however there is a certain path that your actions put you on. Those with the gifts to do so are able to see possibilities of these paths, and can guide someone onto another if we have enough information, but there are risks of doing so. One who can see walks a thin line between helping and causing more harm when they [2015/09/19 19:29:07] /me expose what the future may hold. Just as I saw the path of the shadelings, I did not see how it would be unleashed nor who would do it. What I have are cryptic clues that one must try to fit together. Clearly, even the visions of two was not enough to stop it from happening." [2015/09/19 19:29:14] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((shit sec, lemme read ella's and respond if i need to)) [2015/09/19 19:29:27] Ella (maiacalhoun): (( nah.. you ok i think! )) [2015/09/19 19:29:34] Marissa Ellison (jafar.tarantal): is offline.

[2015/09/19 19:32:49] /me Turns to look at Cedar, a nod of her head "alright... just uh that song... its creepy." Then as she heard Bradock she shook her head "like that'll happen" muttering under her breath before looking to Elka. Shaking her head "leave it. no need for that tonight." Rubbing the back of her neck she heard Viveka's words but she was not in the mood to continue the discussion. Instead she kept walking out and down the steps. [thanks for the awesome rp!]
The new alpha wishes for Viveka to submit, though she does not in the means that the alpha may have desired. She sticks to morals and says her concerns and how she feels, and both, in the end, get at least a portion of what they want.
[2015/10/05 13:20:18] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me was standing in front of the TABLE looking down on the parchment missive upon it, a mug of blood in one hand while she was deep in thought. Cedar had brought much to light and things she would need to be able to figure out. Her eyes had glazed over a bit and she had become lost in her own thoughts, but not so lost that the soft foots steps and scent of Viveka didn't reach her. Abruptly she took a swig from the mug and then set it down not turning around as she began to speak, "I had begun to think you tucked tail and ran with Skyrah."

[2015/10/05 13:26:23] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me snorts and shook her head once she came to a stop. "You presume it was not me that is responsible for her disappearance," she teased. The thought had crossed her mind to do something with the woman till she and Cedar could have found a way to cure her soul. Sadly, she'd not gotten to act out on it. "Though I believe if I had managed such a feat, I would not be so quiet about it, and had you involved in it as well. Besides," she continued, casually lifting a hand and look at the back of it as if to inspect it., "it is not so easy to get rid of me when the spirits tell me that this is where I am supposed to be. I have simply been busy trying to keep things calm at the opium den and springs with our supplies pretty well gone. However, I wished to speak with you about a few concerns before you had this meeting."
[2015/10/05 13:32:01] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me plucked the mug up off of the table and then turned towards her, lifting one shoulder in a half hearted shrug, "It's hard to say who would do what when times are tough." She leaned back, half perching on the end of the arm of the throne, "Besides, none have yet to pledge their loyalty to me so to expect some to follow her even while diseased and cowardly isn't completely unexpected. Like I said, times are tough." Looking down to the mug and the blood inside of it she swished it around a bit and then took a drink, looking at Viv over the rim. Once she lowered the mug, she gave a nod, "Feel free to be open. Tell me your concerns."

[2015/10/05 13:38:53] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me went serious, as that is what she had come to speak with her of. She did not want to add to the difficulty the new alpha would have, but honesty was the best option, and if she knew how to do anything, it was to speak her mind. "Perhaps they have a similar concern that I do," she said softly, moving closer to Elka, but still keeping a respectable distance. "I believe I have now been here the longest. I have seen two alphas come and go with little to no word of why or that they were even leaving. Perhaps they are concerned that the alphas should be proving their dedication rather than us, once again, re-pledging to a new alpha. That is simply that will come with time, however. But I wished to speak with you of it myself as even I would have a difficult time pledging myself to a third, one who has only been here a short time in comparison to some others. You have my loyalty so long as the pack does not begin to recklessly and needlessly attack anything they find humor in, but I wish to have confidence
[2015/10/05 13:38:53] /me myself that I will not be seeing another alpha vanish in a few months time, only to have to do it again."
[2015/10/05 13:47:05] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me stared at her for a while letting the words sink in and realizing just what she thought of her. Her brow knit in thought, taking the time to choose her words carefully as she often did. Rarely were things said or done by her that hadn't been calculated and very thought out before hand. A shadow of something passed over her face and then she smiled at the gamma, "Viveka, it isn't about the time I've been here. There is no wolf here that I would afraid of making submit to me. -That- is what makes an alpha. If I must do the same to you, I will, but I would really prefer you recognized that I am your alpha because I have no intention of going anywhere. I request loyalty only because I am giving my own loyalty." She paused for a moment, taking another drink before continuing, her lips taking on the hue of the blood she drank," I know that you do not think I value life and, there are parts of that, that is true, but I do value loyalty and I do value family. I do not attack anything needlessly and
[2015/10/05 13:47:05] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): never have even if others cannot see my means or are not on my side. You may view me as the bad guy, I have no problem taking that role, but I am going no where."

[2015/10/05 14:00:07] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me kept a straight face while Elka spoke, though inside she felt the need to butt up against her when she mentioned forcing others to pledge. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh. "If you go about threatening others and forcing them to pledge, you will not find the loyalty that you seek, Elka. I have seen enough with my own eyes to know this. And perhaps my vision of an alpha is skewed having not been part of a pack for....I am not even sure how long but most of my life. Since before I was even an adult. But an alpha should not have to force one to be loyal to them. Others should wish to follow them because of their strength, their personality, their conviction. Sky herself had not /intended/ to go anywhere when she stepped up after the alpha before her left, but she has. However, my opinion on how you view life is not a matter here entirely. The few times we stood beside of Skyrah while, it was almost as if you were intentionally trying to push her in the opposite direction no matter result. We should
[2015/10/05 14:00:07] /me have stood beside the Wardens for the time to try to remove the shadelings from the island, and you wished to push her into further warring with them. Yes, they killed one of ours, however it was a blood moon and they went into their keep. Were they simply to lay down and allow themselves to die rather than fighting back? I fault no one in being upset or angry and wishing for revenge, but that had already been sought out when the wolves and the mer set fire to their first keep. Sometimes, differences need to be set aside in order to help on a larger scale. Do you think you can do that?"
[2015/10/05 14:10:29] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me canted her head to the side, "Forcing them to pledge? You're mixing up my words. The way of dominance and submission is the wolf way." She set the mug upon the table beside her and stood walking over to her, she stood straighter and moved close enough to invade Viv's personal space to make her uncomfortable, "The wolf demands submission, forces those who are below it to submit." Slowly she began to circle her the way a wolf might circle prey. Breathing her warm breath across her skin, "It is expected that the wolf who can demand submission, receive it and prove itself strong is the one that becomes the alpha. Proving that it can cause weaker wolves, like yourself, to submit proves it deserves the loyalty and alpha demands." She stopped her circling to stand right in front of the woman, intently looking into her eyes, "It is a two way street. If an alpha is given loyalty, it will be loyal to the pack that follows it. Protect it, do what is necessary for it's survival. If -anyone- can do that, I
[2015/10/05 14:10:29] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): believe we both know it's me." She waited to see if the woman would avert her eyes and therefore submit to her or if she would continue eye contact before she had any intention of continuing talks of wardens and wolf killings.

[2015/10/05 14:24:27] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me watched as Elka moved closer. As for her personal space being invaded, perhaps it was. But this was not uncommon for her. She usually hung off of people. A few hundred years ago, it would have haunted her. Her eyes would follow as Elka as she circled for as long as she could, and then turning to meet her once she was within her sight again. The woman had seen her own death. She knew it was not today, not like this, so whatever the alpha had intended to do, if anything, she was not too worried about it. This wolf even welcomed the death that she had seen. Not being one who had spent much time among packs, she would also not have necessarily realized that simply looking down or away would have ended the discussion. She was, however, stubborn, especially once she had already claimed her loyalty. "It is a two way street, and I have already stated that my loyalty is here. If you wish to further attempt to intimidate me after I have already said where my loyalty lies, then you shall be short the one gamma that
[2015/10/05 14:24:27] /me you have. I have never pretended that I was capable of being an alpha. In fact, I blatantly stated so just a few days back. My place is with the spirits and with what the future holds. My place is to offer consult, advice that the spirits, or seeing the future, may be able to bring. But the horrors that I have seen, the images and the voices that continue to plague me, will always set myself on a path with the least destruction possible with the maximum safety for all of those involved. We may not always see eye to eye, but neither did Skyrah and myself, and I still stood by her side, offering an extreme opposite so that she may consider a path in the middle that better suits everyone. I do not pretend to be stronger than you. In brute strength, I know I have none. I cannot even shift fully. That is part of the gift and curse that I carry within me. Part of existing both in the umbra and in this world at once. Of seeing the possibilities of what the future holds and how the past can help us. But I have b
[2015/10/05 14:24:27] /me enslaved before. One attempting to force me to submit to him. A human, no less. So long as there is proper respect and loyalty shown, then who ever leads shall have my loyalty and respect. But rest assured, I can see it already, being too brutal, especially with our own will only result in a smaller pack. And I am not speaking of myself walking away. I speak of others."

[2015/10/05 14:37:44] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me had no intention of killing her if she didn't submit, if anything she would be pushed out to fend on her own, but Elka didn't want that either. If she hadn't known that Viv had never been in a pack, there would have been teeth, growls, a ruckus and she'd have forced her into a submissive position, but the woman reiterated her loyalty was here and that was close enough. She turned on her heel and moved back to the throne, speaking as she went, "You know what I think our biggest problem will be?" There was a pause long enough for her to sit in the chair and look back to Viv, "Communication. Sometimes I feel as if you hear what you expect me to say instead of what I am saying." Her lips pursed in thought, "The thing is, being part of the pack, at a time like now, strengthens you. Being left to fend for yourself is a harsh way to end up dead and I don't believe either of us want that for any of our kind." Leaning back in the overly large chair and got comfortable, "Now, that I believe we are in
[2015/10/05 14:37:44] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): agreement about loyalties let's move on to the wardens. I am of the view that all alliances and enemies need to be re-evaluated. I don't believe Skyrah was in her right mind as a few things have come to light since she's been gone. Your story of what happened is not the story she told me, hence my...appropriation to violence when it came to them. I have my faults, but I do understand the importance of being allied with the right people, again, especially in times such as these."
[2015/10/05 14:46:56] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me was not so concerned about being left to fend for herself. She had friends that looked out for her whether she realized it or not. Though they were not necessarily the best of people to be relying on, it was a simple need for business, and would only get worse. In fact, she was in more danger in the pack than out, at least if the wrong person ever found out. She would nod, however, about communication. On both parts. "Just as one may not always understand what I am trying to say, as well, seeing as I had never meant to imply that you /would/ simply leave as the others had or that I did not trust you, but that others may fear it. But it is no matter. It is simply a habit formed over time as I have rules that I must follow when I speak of certain things in order to prevent larger disasters from happening. It bleeds into how I speak at all times. I cannot simply tell you that I think it wise to do something a certain way, at least not if it pertains to my gifts in any way. I have to nudge and allow you to
[2015/10/05 14:46:56] /me find the 'correct' path on your own, if that is what is to happen. Sadly, that makes me often misunderstood. As for the wardens and alliances, and perhaps with many other bits of information, it seems much has been left out. That - I can help with in stark detail. If you wish to hear all that I know and have seen, that is."

[2015/10/05 14:53:46] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me had been silent entirely while Viv spoke and even when she asked the question all Elka did was gesture to her that she had the floor. It was important that she had all the information if she were going to make decisions that were best for her pack. Of course, through out the days of her wandering in the dark as Beta without sky around had led her to some incredible discoveries. She had finally seen the alpha last night, and had essentially run her off from the pack and taken alpha from her. The only one who had known this at this point was Cedar. If she were to be completely honest, the only regret she had at this point was that she didn't tear the throat out of Sky.

[2015/10/05 15:05:10] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me nodded her head, and her eyes seemed to glaze over, halfway between normal, and what would their appearance in her vision state if Elka ever had the chance to see that. She was recalling her own memories so that she was not incorrect in how they were relayed, her eyes returning to normal once she had played them through her mind. "Let us start with the Wardens then. Admittedly, it took some work to find the answers to. I have friends and acquaintances in a lot of places. Not so many any longer as I believe the shadelings have scared some of them off. Or killed them. At any rate, as the first alpha I knew told me, as well as a Warden himself and even Skyrah eventually, it was a blood moon. Of course, we cannot be fully blamed for what we do. Even I, whom cannot shift, lose my humanity on that moon. It seems that another wandered into the Wardens keep when it was located where the infirmary now is, Skyrah following. Wardens had been in there. Who attacked first I can only tell you if I go the location and
[2015/10/05 15:05:11] /me try to see into the past. I can assume, being a blood moon, it was us. Or at least we were threatening enough that it caused an attack. At any rate, I know at least one of us died. Perhaps even one or two of them. Skyrah was furious. She was injured in the fight as well, and she set us on a path of revenge. She allied with the mer on the next full moon and they burned down the keep. As well as an old mill that had been someone's home. I never understood why they burned that down. Even Skyrah admitted that was perhaps going overboard. Wardens were killed during the fire that night. Revenge was obtained, but she insisted on keeping them as enemies. I do not blame her for keeping them at arms reach. Others had, at one time, showed concern about the Wardens. But they could be useful. They have access to more than we do, silver included. It would be wise to not war with them unless we need to, say if they attack or threaten us without cause. Even the new harbinger is gone, rumor has it. So they are once again
[2015/10/05 15:05:11] /me without a leader and relatively harmless until we see who steps up. However, this does concern me where the shadelings and the darkness is involved. Though the darkness has receded, there are now men in cloaks and objects coming to life. Apparently some of these objects enjoy music as half of the objects in Crystal skies decided to create an ensemble with me just two nights past."
[2015/10/05 15:13:57] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me stared off as she listened no longer focused on Viveka or really anything else in the room, picturing the story and how she was being told it was played out. Once the story was completely told, she continued staring off for some time saying nothing essentially just marinating on what was being said. The moment stretched out for longer and longer until she finally took a deep breath and sighed, "I actually agree with you in this..." Her brow furrowed as if that troubled her and she was quiet for a moment again handling THAT fact before continuing, "The wardens don't deserve the wrath of our kind. I have been misled by the one who called herself alpha before me, and I do vow that if she is ever seen in these woods again she will be killed. What she has led this pack into is more than just a betrayal of her own kind. They are no longer our adversaries, but nor are they our allies. We will not harm them, but we also won't protect them." Her eyes suddenly went to Viv, "Barring blood moons of course."
[2015/10/05 15:13:57] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): She gave a cocky, half-amused smirk and stood up, "Is there anything else you'd like to speak with me about?"
[2015/10/05 15:20:20] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me snorts in laughter again. No one could help the blood moons. When asked if there was more, she simply laughed softly. "There will always be more. The mer are next. I suppose that Skyrah did not inform you that the initial conflict started with them because of her? I sat here while she met with their lead before the current one. Apparently - Skyrah had killed a frog. Now, while they may be considered sacred animals, the woman had agreed when I said that death is necessary in the larger circle. They had apparently....I am not sure I would say tortured Skyrah. But they brought harm to her for killing this frog. I think what bothered Skyrah most is that...she enjoyed it. Or so the mer claimed, and that is when Skyrah grew the most disgruntled and suddenly became irrational. Now, they were extreme in what they did for the life of a frog. Even we would not do that if the life of a woodland creature was killed. At least most of us I believe would not. They are protected within the forests, they are a creature
[2015/10/05 15:20:20] /me of nature, but even we understand that it must be done in order to survive. Though I am unsure why Skyrah even killed the frog, to be honest. And you were there when the last fight broke out with them. I presume you know why that happened. I do not doubt it was in part because of the darkness overcoming her spirit. How you wish to treat them, I have no true advice for. Mer are....tricky. Not so much as fae and yet at the same time, worse. At least the fae cannot blatantly lie. I still suggest a temporary truce until the shadelings are handled. Have you yet contacted anyone about where we stand with that? I saw the last harbinger and one of his men get a chest from the mer and say they needed a key. I presume the key that Crystiel had."

[2015/10/05 15:27:08] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me found her hands clutching the wooden arms of the chair, her nails digging in and gouging as she heard of more of Sky's antics. Here she was being accused of being monstrous and horrendous for wanting to harm their -enemies- and Sky had been out -making- them. Granted, she was monstrous and horrendous half the time, but only when it was deserved. Although perhaps the -way- she dealt with things wasn't always fair. "Perhaps what we need to do it get word out that the alpha has changed and set up a meeting with the mer...queen? Or whatever the hell those damn fish call their leaders as well as whoever is directing the warden's while they don't have a harbinger. It may not hurt to meet with the leaders of all the races really. See what it is that is going on. I won't promise alliances, but I will listen and at least form neutralities. For now." The mention of a key and Crystiel perked her right up and she removed her hands from the chair, "Tell me more of this, Cedar brought it to my attention today
[2015/10/05 15:27:08] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): and I had intentions of seeking out that little slippery fae."

[2015/10/05 15:36:52] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me nodded her head in agreement with at least meeting. Sky had done a lot of things that Vik had not agreed with, but Vik had been trying to get her back on a path to fix some of that. At least Elka was willing to make it a fresh start. "She had me contact people. The former Lady of Aberwyth had been someone I knew in another land. We'd faced a world ending demon together. Of sorts. In other words, I saw the attacks because of the spirits he held with him, and became a beacon to his presence. We'd had an alliance of sorts with Aberwyth at the time. At least through her. She had even offered to speak with the Wardens for us. I do not know what happened with her, however. So we need to start fresh. Crystal Skies is often used for meetings as it is typically viewed as neutral grounds in a sense. Busy enough to not cause too much notice, at least on a normal day when supplies are coming as they should be, but also enough going on that one does not have to worry as much about people at the next table listening
[2015/10/05 15:36:52] /me in. You may continue to do so if you wish, though occasionally meeting on their turf or a place of their choosing may be best to not bring too much suspicion to me. If you are continuing with the secrecy, at least. I will, however, simply because I do not wish people to know how much of a seer I am. My curse, at least. I do not wish for people to try to make me their possession again to use to their advantage because of it. Not when I offer to aid people freely." But she had wandered off again. Such was another part of her curse. Too much going on in her mind at once to be able to keep a linear thought process. "I am afraid that all I saw was them giving the mer a purple pearl. Or an clam rather with a purple pearl inside. In exchange, they got the chest. It did not seem overly large, but I also noted that what I saw of it had no visible means of opening. Yet a key was needed. I would need to sit and focus myself to remember what all the clues mentioned were to see if the key that Crystiel had makes sens
[2015/10/05 15:36:52] /me I was a bit more preoccupied that night with Skyrah's soul than the conversation. The Wardens took it back to their keep. Where it went after that....I cannot say, but I can ask someone who may know."

[2015/10/05 15:44:32] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me gave a noncommittal nod to all that had been said and stood up, beginning to remove the splinters of wood beneath her nails, "Secrecy will stay. I have no intention of putting myself out to easily be killed. I am aware it hasn't really come up before, but I do not need to physically be at these meetings. It is likely much safer for me to do such dealings by sending an image of myself." That was all the explaining she felt was needed on that front and moved on following Viv's crazy train of thought, "Crystal Skies sounds like as good of a place as any for such talks as well." Her hands fell to her sides and she looked to her, "This fairy, Crystiel, can you bring her to me? It seems she and I have much to discuss." She only just then remembered the blood drink she had left sitting on the table and reached for it, quickly finishing the remnants before raising a brow to Viv to see if she would agree to bring the fairy, "Oh and one last thing, I've been trying to reach out to the wolves who have
[2015/10/05 15:44:32] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): previously chosen to not be in the pack. Perhaps you could help get word out that I wish to speak with them?"

[2015/10/05 15:55:21] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me watched as Elka did all of the things that she did. Splinters, drinks, etc etc, the images forever imprinted in her mind long after the moment had passed, down to the last detail. "I know that Crystiel works at the infirmary, likely at her wits end since my friend, the former lead of it, has disappeared. I will leave a message for her there to seek me out if I cannot find her myself. As for the other wolves, I will do what I can to find others, and shifters in general. This one is not so easy as to simply tack up messages on the trees. If enough were sensitive to spirits, I can reach out, but that is not limited to wolves and would be dangerous to attempt. But I will keep my eyes and ears open. Fortunately, I blend in well. Which brings me around to the last bit. Being your gamma, you should know of myself. I already told you I cannot shift. It is something that was forfeit because of my gift, or my curse. Which ever you wish to call it." She held her hands out, palms facing Elka. Her eyes closed and she
[2015/10/05 15:55:22] /me took a deep breath before opening them again. If she was sensitive at all to the spirits, she would feel the presence of at least one in the vicinity of Vika. Her eyes went blank, solid white, while the 'scars' on the palms of each hand opened up to reveal two eyes that were darting about the room till they settled on Elka. They seemed to be sentient in their own way, as if they decided what they wished to see and focus on. "This is how I work much of the time," she spoke, a second whisper seeming to come with her own voice. "They can see into the past of anyone or any thing so long as they do not have some sort of strength built up to it, or immunity. They can see any number of futures, though cryptic. They haunt my dreams and my mind constantly, but they are what guides me. Each vision they see gives a little of my life in return, which is why I try to make the most of it. It is a spirit that I am connected to, following one another's existence. It is why I say I am half in the umbra at all times. They
[2015/10/05 15:55:22] /me are why I cannot hunt with the pack. I would be too easily recognized without being able to fully shift." She closed her eyes again, and with a slight bit of strain, closed her fingers over her palms as well till the secondary set of eyes closed and her regular ones opened again, returning to normal. "It works out, however. I can be seen on moons as I am without gaining anyone's suspicion so long as they do not know that some of us cannot shift for one reason or another."
[2015/10/05 15:59:09] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me found that to possibly be the creepiest thing she had seen in all of her 934 years. She recoiled when seeing the eyes open up from her hands. Once Viv put away her creepiness she eyed her half in amusement and half in disgust, "Promise me to never do that again in my presence and I will do everything in my power to keep your secret..." She shuddered in remembrance, pouring herself another goblet of blood only to down it as if it were alcohol that would make her forget what she had just seen.
[2015/10/05 16:06:27] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me grinned. The eyes generally had that effect on people, if not worse. She'd had one person try to attack the things. "I can only promise to not do it unnecessarily," she said with a soft laugh. "Unfortunately, if you wish me to try to see something, and wish to be present while doing so, they will come out. Even staying behind me may not be safe as it takes me a moment to control it as I wish to. The will of this spirit to see and know everything is not easy to control. Hence why I tend to try to know anything that possibly crosses my path. But...you should know what you can of me that may be relevant. They are relevant."

[2015/10/05 16:12:15] Elka Otterpop™ (adylin): /me gave a curt nod to her explanation and chuckled, "Fair enough. I have..other matters that need attending to, but I hope that I can rely on you to make the proper arrangements as we discussed?" She hated the thought of having to meet with so many, but this was the web she had been dealt with or more accurately, had taken for her own. "If there is nothing else, I have some other things I need to do."
[2015/10/05 16:14:32] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me nodded her head in response to starting to weave the web of acquaintances again, noting off in her own mind who she needed to reestablish connections with which was....just about everyone...
We're Finding This Damn Box
Cedar pulls Vika into a visions state that leads her to speak with Meri, and then scry for the location of the chest that had been given to the Wardens in order to end the blight on the isle. Though tired and ready to pass out, she continues on, determined to find the damn chest at all costs and take it to the Wardens, where she passes out clinging to it, subconsciously refusing to let it go
[2015/10/07 16:03:39] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles as she walks in circles in the lobby, going over things in her mind...a sword...who would give her a sword?...it wasnt like she could use it....or would use it if she could, she was oath bound from taking anyones life....there must be a rreason for it?
[2015/10/07 16:06:45] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me made her way up the hill, her eyes lost in thought, though subconsciously wondered what sort of sadistic asshole put a tower on top of a really tall hill. She was already tired out from the vision that seemed to have been forced upon her, though luckily it had not been as painful as they normally were. She'd have to thank what she assumed to be Cedar when she saw the fae again. She pushed open the doors and, as typical of Vik, the first thing she sees is a blonde man frolicking about the place. Okay not so much frolicking but...man. She was just about to sidetrack on her task when she remembered her scrying orb in her hands. Her face scrunched up and she looked about the room for the dark haired elf from the visions, the one she remembered meeting one time...ironically when she was flirting with another blonde man. She sees Crystiel and the image from the vision flashed in front of her. Of the map and key, of Elka opening the chest with the hilts. She stood for a moment, not quite sure how to bring it
[2015/10/07 16:06:45] /me up, but did not imagine that Crystiel would have any more answers anyway, and the vision had repeatedly shown the dark haired elf and this tower, so best as she could assume, she needed to go here. "Anyone home?" she called out in her 'tavern' voice, aka kinda loud, looking for said dark haired elf or someone that could point her in the right direction at least.

He'd dust off his hands and offer a "Good day to you... Meri's likely in back, it'll be just a moment, have a look around, just.. please forgive the mess." Meri'd finally make her way out from the back door, her nose buried in a book and brows furrowed only to catch sight of "Oh! Hello there, sorry - we're still a bit of a mess, what can I do for you?"

[2015/10/07 16:25:31] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me waited for Crystiel to get her business handled since she had been there first. She held her orb firmly in her hands but kept her eyes on Damien. She hadn't flirted near enough lately so anything with a third 'leg' she could terrorize would do at this point. For the briefest moment, she was pulled from her wandering thoughts to Crystiel and nodded her head. "Well as can be, I hope the same of you. Speaking of, has Elka managed to find you yet? I have been preoccupied and was not able to get to you as quickly as I'd hoped."

She'd pause and listen as she continued, nodding softly and glancing towards the blade she carried with interest "Actually, that's a talent I have, though if it's something you're wanting to learn as well, then I can get the book for you - I'm out of stock at the moment, but could have it for you..." fading off and thinking a moment "..if you come back in tomorrow, I can have it for you then - about this same time." It'd require a trip, but - Meri'd been wanting to do that anyway... Right about that point Damien chimed in, the clutter of the various scrolls and such as he was rummaging about "Meri, you said Auras, yes?" Her eyes flicking over as she nodded "She's in luck..." nodding towards Crystiel "Found it right here... " Rising to his feet and moving to hand it off to Meri, the glance given and a murmured
[2015/10/07 16:33:54] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): "Thanks" before he'd head back to his organizing and Meri'd grin "Looks like it worked out after all... Here you are." The scroll thankfully was a smaller one and fairly light, She'd hand it off and murmur "That'll be 20 copper..." then dashed a look up at Viveka as she mentioned Elka, remembering their conversation just the other day.

[2015/10/07 16:41:22] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and shrugs to Viv, "Elka?...Im not familiar with that name, did she need me for something?" she says, oblivious to the fact that was "The Angry Ones" real name cause she had never been told otherwise...and frowns for a second at Meri as she explains she would have to wait another day...3 more just to get a scabbard for the sword...so she could stop lugging it around and another just to get a book to lean how to unlock its secrets..which could also take days of studying before should could succeed....then she smiles bright at Damian as a scroll was found, "Oh thats wonderful....Id love to start as soon as possible...she says and pulls out the 20 tiny coins from a pouch in her satchel....sprinkles them with fairy dust and the coins grow to full size. as she places them in Meris hand and accepts the Scroll..."Thank you very much...and it is something id like to do on my own..."
[2015/10/07 16:47:41] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me tried to think of a way to let her know who Elka was without blatantly saying who and what either of them were since that whole secrecy thing was still in effect. Just as well, she supposed. "Remember that little talk we had the other day and you and I both had some concerns about one of the others there? The fourth person. It seems I need to fill you in on some things as well then. I'll be sure to look for you after I am done here if I can." She glanced back up to Meri about the time that the woman looked back to her. She stepped forward and placed the orb on the counter. She wasn't worried about secrecy here since Crystiel was somewhat involved in all of it anyway, nor was she too worried about admitting her gifts to this woman. She remembered her being a quiet one, for one thing. So how many people would she tell. "I am a seer," she said blatantly. "And not so long ago I was touched by a vision. A spirit, I should say, that left a message. This tower, and you, kept showing up in it as if there were
[2015/10/07 16:47:41] /me some importance to coming here and telling you what I saw and the message afterwards. If you have the time to sit and listen to me."
[2015/10/07 16:55:47] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me nods understandingly, the smile offered as the coins and scroll were exchanged. "Good luck with that one - if you have any questions, or wish for some lessons to help you along, that is one I know - just let me know." She'd straighten from receiving the coins, placing them within the lockbox then flicking a glance over to Viveka as the two converse, her head tipping slightly as she perused them both, just waiting. The roundabout manner of the two brought a faint smile to her lips as she couldn't help but quirk a smile. As Viv had stated, Meri was a quiet one, who the heck would she tell anyway? 'Sides, she'd know the previous, and had a decent idea of who that'd been. Anyway - She'd dash a look to the orb, perusing it carefully as Viveka spoke then dashed a look up as she and the Tower were mentioned "Oh really?" She'd watch her for another moment, then nod "Of course..." then dashing a look around the still cramped area - that was in the works! Meri'd beckon for Viv to follow, then nodded "If you
[2015/10/07 16:55:47] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): think there's merit, you're welcome to come too. So much of what's going on? Needs us all."
[2015/10/07 17:02:59] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me tilts her head at Viv in confusion...she was speaking more cryptic then her head druid...and that was saying a lot, "Yes...you will have to explain that to me later I assume.....I will wait for you then" she says and then listens to her as she talks to Meri, so the Tower was involved too.....Fae, Garou, Warders, Mer, Elves, and now the Magic shop? and the new tower?.....things just keep getting bigger and more complicated..she will have to talk to Viv about that as well...maybe she could fill in some of the gaps that she hasnt filled in yet in her investigation of the hooded man's mystery..she tucks the scroll into her satchel and smiles at Merri, "Thank you...I may come back for some lessons....or I may request for the enchantments on this sword to be identified, curiosity is definitely one of my weaknesses.....but you seem to be busy.....I will leave you two for your disscussions,.." she glances at Viv, " I'll be at the gazebo near the Forest,....you can find me there afterwards to explain what you

It may be beneficial if you join." she would say to the tiny little fae. "I cannot always decipher what I see properly. The more minds involved in a situation such as this, the better. Not to mention this one was unusual anyway." She would wait for Crystiel to start to follow, and the player assumes she joins and follows Meri as well.

[2015/10/07 17:13:50] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and nods as she follows Viv and Meri into the back and when offered a seat she would climb up one and plop herself in, "Oh I would love a berry juice.....its been too long, Thank you" she says with a smile and then waits patiently, her legs kicking child-like as she sits. perhaps this was for the best, Mages disscussing the dark enchantment and blight that has spread over the land...not to mention the Dark robbed men she has seen....this may prove informative.
[2015/10/07 17:15:26] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me sat the orb in the middle of the three chairs, not too worried about the others touching it. She wasn't entirely sure why she had brought it, only that a nagging feeling inside wanted her to. She would sit down in the chair across from Crystiel and half smile to Meri. "Seeing as the liquid of the gods is not available right now, and by that I mean rum, I appreciate any offer. There is a bit to share." She would look back to the orb, as if she expected the thing to start moving again. "I'll start off with saying, this is clearly a message that needed to be delivered. When things first started moving in my room, I thought nothing of it. I had similar happen to me just a few days ago while I was playing music. At least till I felt the touch of a presence and was seen many things that lead me to believe that Cedar wished to tell me something seeing as some of it could have only been from her eyes. For example, bringing supplies in from another land. That was where I first saw you during this event. There was
[2015/10/07 17:15:26] /me talk of....a druid? Something being dangerous and something about saving? I could not get much of conversations, just druid being said more than once as well." She would start out with that little bit at least before everyone got settled and she could really get into what she had seen.

Setting down all but the first cup, she'd pour a drink for Viv, pass it over, then filled the thimble for Crystiel with a wry smile "I don't get many small visitors..." murmured apologetically, before she'd hand that off as well then set the decanter on the floor beside her own chair, sitting at the very edge. Her own glass left empty for now, though she might need it later. Knowing at least a little of what Cedar was, and more importantly - wasn't, Meri'd lean in to Viv's explanation, her eyes occaisonally darting down to the orb and back to her face "Yes, there are certainly parts of that , that are familiar - Go on..."

He glanced over his shoulder, it appeared no one had followed him -yet. He was unnerved, but hopefully his cloak hid those tell-tale features. At the sight of Damien he'd nod, and not even ask before heading right for the back room. What he wasn't expecting was to see other people back there. He stood there, his jaw going slack as he was dumbfounded. He was just a random guy, storming in to what was maybe a private conversation, with bread in his hands. "Uhh..."
[2015/10/07 17:29:34] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and graciously accepts the offered thimble, to her it was a large cup...but she was used to using them as cups, in fact she has a set of her own at home . she take sip and smiles at the flavor of the sweet nectar, "Oh no worries, its just the right size for me, thank you kindly" she says and listens to what Viv was speaking about...nothing making much sense, she knows about Druids...but doesnt understand the connection she was bringing up about them. she just smiles and sips the berry juice, as she listens....she will know more, she was sure before her explanation was over.

She held it in her hands and looked to it as if the contents were just going to magically jump into her mouth or something. "So, now that I at least have your attention for sure. It started with the movements, then pulled into the vision. The woman I mentioned before lifting a lid to a chest. I see these through the eyes of the focus, and can often feel what they feel. I felt disappointment then, and when she had turned her head, I was able to see that all that was in were four hilts. No blades, just hilts." She was stopped mid thought, however, upon the sudden entrance of a hooded man, which caused her to reach in and pick her orb up off the floor and hold it to her, all words stopping as she trusted those with her with the fact that she was a seer, but additional people, not so much.

The soft dip of her head to Crystiel's words, then turning to absorb what Viv was saying, only to hear Damien out in the front room greeting someone , then Rei coming in. The surprise on her features shifting to a smile, then realizing as Viv cut herself short, that maybe now wasn't the best time... "Vedui..." fading off and nibbling her lower lip as she lifted to her feet and murmured a warm "I'm glad to see you, but.. it's not really the best time right now, did you want to wait upstairs, or was there something you needed?" Meanwhile out front, Damien'd poke his head up and noticed the flamey one enter. His eyes widening a bit, wary of all the scrolls and books in the shop "Hello there, what can I do for you?" He'd ask the pale stranger.

[2015/10/07 17:39:48] Rei Anundr Aldin (rei.lowtide): /me would randomly hand Meri the bread before he made his sprint up.

She trusted him, maybe she shouldn't have, but she did, and to her it was just another example of him trying to take care of her. Sweet, unexpected, and oh so confusing. She'd pad back towards her chair, offering a reassuring "It's fine.. please, continue..." Damien out front hadn't even noticed Rei, his movements too quickly past and Damien still muttering about the blasted troll blood from earlier, and so he'd kinda stare at the flamey one though he'd crack a smile as some of the heat and obvious fire seemed to pull back within "Um... well I know Meri and two women are in back, but - otherwise..." Shrugging a bit and then adding "Seems awfully nice of you to bother though, especially with this blight and all that stuff. If'in I see 'im, I'll tell him to come find ya... um - where should I tell

It was intriguing up here. He right away moved for the opening that lead outside, looking at the scenery. He had some personal things to think over. Not to mention his typist was going AFK for a litte.
[2015/10/07 17:55:04] /me Damien'd nod, offering a faint smile and though his first instinct was to pat the flamey one on the shoulder in commiseration, he'd think twice about it right before his hand got too close "Very sweet of you, I'll keep an eye out for that one for ya..." then nodded reassuringly and gave a warm smile.
[2015/10/07 17:56:30] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me watched as the man and Meri interacted and then he totally threw bread in her face, she saw it, and then ran upstairs. She felt a little more at ease and set the orb back down as if that thing right there was the vital piece of the puzzle since she still didn't really know why she'd brought it other than she saw Cedar walking away with another spirit in it and it had rolled to her like it meant something, which likely it meant use the bloody thing to find something. She just didn't totally know what, so she couldn't pinpoint where to look. "That was actually an appropriately timed confused silence. That was about what I saw in the vision next," she said with a smile, shrugging it off herself. "Though at this point I heard nothing. It wasn't until later I managed to catch slight snippets of what others were saying. But that is off topic really. She next showed me a portal, and the first glimpse of you, and the two of you stepped through, then followed by an image of a group of people somewhere else. Not
[2015/10/07 17:56:30] /me here. No where near here as best as I could tell but I am not sure where there was. I saw you there as things were being passed. Who said the words druid, dangerous, saving and Please do this, I am not sure. That was all that I managed to glimmer of conversation. There was no time to try to decipher that as it immediately blurred into pain. Though I do not believe this to be of relevance. I believe...well...I'll explain that at th end. I saw the forest and felt such mental agony. Despair, sadness, and then was able to see it in the spirit realm as well. It has been effected there as well. Not quite in the same manner. there was no ichor, but darkness. And a presence of others, but I saw no others. Things became rushed then. I feel she was running out of time. I saw inside the Warden's Keep. Druids was mentioned there among those gathered, none of which I could give a name or any recognition to. The image of the magic shoppe and the tower shattered that one. Looking from one to the next repeatedly till it
[2015/10/07 17:56:30] /me finally brought me through the doors here and I saw you again. And then one final glimpse of the tower before it ended. A.nd there was where my orb rolled off of a table and to me, my tarot cards scattered on the floor to say 'cure' and what I can only assume was an image of Cedar in the orb itself with another spirit, walking away."
[2015/10/07 17:57:35] Seraphino (Weechee Zinner): /me gives a slight bow before speaking one last time "i bid you good sun's passing and a pleasant star's rising, till we might come to path's crossing again. i will head into the out once more in search of that male again." The elemental turned to head out to search again lifting hands to peek inside at what was clutched there as shoulders pressed the door open carefully.
[2015/10/07 17:59:51] /me Damien watched as the figure went out the door, waving his hand, confused for another moment or so, then shrugged, shook his head and with a tuneless, and flat (the man was quite tone-deaf) hum on his lips, he'd go back to sorting books.

All of these chests, different people, different places. When I spoken with the Harbinger, when we deciphered the letter Cedar & I brought back from Kigery... that's the place you saw, that you didn't recognize? We went to Kigery...

I have no idea what they did with it from there and have not seen either of the men since and have not caught Gerald to ask if he may know since he was with them initially. I had initially assumed that was the one that was opened but....it would seem not. The one I saw the Wardens have had no means of which to open it, no place to put a key, as best as I was able to tell, that is. It appeared that they traded it for a purple pearl. Granted I only caught the end of the exchange, so what I saw could be off mark." But then Meri would confirm that no one else knew where it was. A smile came across her face as her eyes cast to the scrying orb and she let out a snort of a laugh. "I suppose that means she intends for me to use this to find where that chest is, then if she, too, knew it was missing. She would know that I am a Gazer and could use the orb to find it. It crossed my mind she intended for me to use it, but until

But at least she was up to speed on that, and could freak the hell out of the alpha later by knowing already. There was a perk to being a freak sometimes. She looked out the window. It was not dark enough yet, so she would let out a sigh. "Nothing can be done yet. Unfortunately, using the orb is one of the few things that I must wait until a clear night sky to do. I am already taxed from what Cedar showed me, though thankfully she made it less painful or I would not have the energy to do anything else with all that she had to say. But I would prefer to have another with me when the sun falls, assuming the sky is clear enough. If it drains me entirely, the message would need to be relayed by another since there is no telling how long I would sleep."

That I don't understand yet... but - in time - I can only hope that we find out in time..." The soft dip of her head and murmur to Viveka "Please if you can, whoever you send with messages or the life, please keep me posted, I'll help as I can, maybe there will be some resource yet undiscovered..." her gaze shifting between them both.

[2015/10/07 19:06:42] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me smiled when Crystiel offered to sit with her. Not that she would have minded Meri, but she and the fae still had some things that they needed to talk about. "Hopefully I do not end up a pile on the floor, but I feel better having someone there. And at any rate, even if I didn't, two of us going to spread the word is better than no one if I did pass out." She would nod her head in response to Meri. "Of course. I need to return here soon anyway as I wish to expand upon the spells I am capable of at some point. Things have just been so hectic with the lack of goods and all of the things with these chests and other things that I get sent about to do." She would lift the cup she had nearly forgotten about to her lips and drank what was in it so as to not be rude or waste. If anyone learned anything during all of this, it would be to not waste food or drink ever again. Hopefully at least. "Anything I think relevant, I will make sure to get word to anyone I know to be involved."
[2015/10/07 19:15:17] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and nods to Meri, "I'll stop by as well, as I'll need this blade identified, and for my own research into reading auras....I wonder what I would see in the aura of our Forest....and especially where My Tree once stood......as for relevant information, Most was already shared...except one....There is a tent in the forest, or was....the Black robbed men are using it as a base, I had told some warders about it...but I havnt heard back, if they found anything. The robbed man who handed me my message, was fighting with himself...and the well spoken mind that i dont trust said that they have a "Cure"....but the way they said it...made it sound more like a poison...I had meant to tell the Alpha about it during our meeting.....but...well...things kinda got out of hand and I had to leave...., but they, I think are the ones responsible for this all"..she says with a smile and nods.

Please do be safe and I will keep you and your efforts in mind." Her gaze flicking between both women and nodding softly as Crystiel continued. "I do apologize ladies, but I need to excuse myself. If there is anything else please by all means, let me know what is in need, and we will see what is needed, just let Damien know."

[2015/10/07 19:25:27] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me thought back on the first vision that she ever had that the darkness was coming, something they had not been able to spread the word about fast enough thanks to people that were her connections vanishing. "You know, the first vision I ever got of these events, I had seen black figures coming with the darkness. I had at first thought them to be shadelings, but after first hearing of robed men, I began to believe my initial assumption wrong. The whole while I saw the series of events that were to happen, and have happened, I heard a voice, though it was not saying anything clear. I assumed him to be the one behind it all. Mayhaps he is the one that you have spoken with. The downside of seeing things, I suppose. Even if we can visualize a clear answer, we still must talk in cryptic riddles and clues and let those without the sight figure things out for themselves." She blinked a few times when Meri introduced herself and realized that she had not either. Not today or the first time they had ever seen each
[2015/10/07 19:25:27] /me other, though she remembered the other woman's name being said (( at least i think it was, but whatev, i know for sure i know it now)) "Viveka. I run the hot springs and the likes. If you should ever need to find me. I am confident that we will see each other again, and hopefully with better tidings. I very much appreciate you helping me put the next step in place for me. I would have not otherwise known for certain what needed to be found since I assumed the Warden's chest was located. Please take care of yourself." She would stand up, setting the cup down on the chair and straightening herself out. "It may be best if we go elsewhere Crystiel. That way we do not cause any kind of a fuss here. Night is coming closer."

[2015/10/07 19:46:04] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me set her orb down on the table back on it's stand where it belongs for the time being. She had left the tarot cards where they lay, still saying 'cure'. She began to pick those up. The message had been relayed. "My apologies ofr not really having many seats here. I tend to prefer to not hit the floor with too hard of a thud if I get myself into something where I lose the ability to keep myself upright," she said with a small smile. She glanced at the orb again, knowing they could do it now if they wished, but she clearly needed to tell other things as well. "I was asked to seek you out, for various reasons. One of which being Skyrah. She is gone. Cedar and I had a plan to find a cure for her darkening soul, however it seems that Elka was not in the mood to risk having her leading the Singarti, or walking this island in general, while we searched. Elka....or 'angry one' as you seem to call her, is now leading us. She wishes to reevaluate all allies and enemies as Skyrah did not tell her the full truths on
[2015/10/07 19:46:04] /me why certain groups or races were our enemies or allies to begin with. After clearing it up, she asked me to arrange talks with as many as I could. Plus she wished to know where you stood with this whole cure of the darkness. Thankfully, she sees the wisdom in sharing information and putting differences aside. I am sure she wishes to see if the pact between the Singarti and the fae will still stand as it was."

[2015/10/07 19:53:46] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and nods as she listened and snickers learning the name of "the angry one" now viv initial question seemed to make more sense, "Ahhh well in that case, yes she did find me and I gave her the Key and Map....but then she left without so much as a farewell, I havnt heard anything from them since...though I did see the Angry One, yesterday at the warders keep, like she was looking for something...but she didnt say anything then...she had told me that Sky was "indisposed"....Im hoping that means contained and not .."...she slices her thumbs across her neck. with a smile.
[2015/10/07 20:01:46] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me laughed, trying in vain to hide it behind her hands, but the sound would escape since...ya know....sound. "She likely was looking for the other chest. I had told her I saw the Wardens make the exchange with the mer for it, but did not know where it went from there. "I would not be surprised either but...the way she spoke, no. Skyrah still lives. I have not a clue where she is and frankly....I do not intend to find her unless I am better prepared to cure her blackening soul. Not really my area of expertise as far as curing is going, but it does deal with the soul, so I was going to find a way. I am glad, however, that she has found you. I've had some fighting to deal with at the hot springs with supplies being gone."
[2015/10/07 20:12:48] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me lets out a sigh of relief..., "Thats good...as bad as she was acting that night I dont wish her any permanent harm...as for the alliance, it ws just a simple matter of territories....we are claiming the Forest, but the Garou needs the Hunting Grounds.....the terms were simple, guard the Forrest from Fire and destruction, and help with defense if needed, then the Garou are free to Roam and hunt there...as long as things remain in balance...the Shadows are not their fault and even we have not been able to anything about...so that has not affected the agreement in the slightest....in fact, I wont inforce it till after the island is cured and the animals come back...which I have a feeling we may have to import from the Mainland to restock the wilds..."

[2015/10/07 20:16:32] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me could not help but think of the irony of guarding it from fire and destruction when it was Skyrah that was setting fires to so much initially. She nodded with a smile to what the fae had said. "So long as the pact remains with a new alpha, that is the important part. Though perhaps a bit more aggressive than I may prefer, I do believe Elka has better intentions than Skyrah did. Some of her choices were made of her own greed whether she wished to admit it or not." She would reach to pick up the scrying orb again and move to open the door. "Now that this discussion is out of the way, shall we step back outside?"

[2015/10/07 20:29:50] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me sat herself down on the ground cross legged with the orb nestled in the dip that was made with her legs. She looked over to Crystiel, her nose wrinkling up a little. "Not sure if you have ever seen me go into a vision state before, even though this is not pulled by the same means most of my other gifts are, my....situation....amplifies it. It may be a little odd to see. Just a fair warning." she would say, laughing nervously. She had just freaked out Elka with the eyes....and had the first alpha growling any time the woman ever saw her hands. "I am capable of speaking, usually in common. We just have to hope I do this time as well. It is not always easy for me to focus on what my body does, so my first language has been known to take over."
[2015/10/07 20:30:09] Ella (maiacalhoun): is offline.
[2015/10/07 20:31:21] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and nods, " and what is your first language?"
[2015/10/07 20:38:19] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me flicked her hands as if drying them and adjusted herself to sit perfectly upright. She smiled and shook her head. "Honestly difficult to say which it would be. I learned Elven and a human tongue called Sanskrit at the same time in my youth, followed quickly by other human tongues. I use common enough now that I should speak that way, however." She closed her eyes and let out a slow, soft sigh. With fingers spread, she picked up the orb, holding it with only the pads of her fingertips. The orb would begin to glow a faint purple color, the image of stars twinkling, moving and turning like the night sky as it moved hour by hour overhead. If looking close enough, one could see that it very closely resembled the sky tonight, at least for now. Once her natural eyes opened, they would be a solid white, the color having completely faded. And again, if looking close enough, and at the proper angle, one could also see the 'scars' in the palm of each hand open up, two more ethereal looking eyes appearing. Normally,
[2015/10/07 20:38:19] /me they would have darted about. But she held the orb this way to keep them focused on where to pour their energies since she would have to guide them. If Crystiel was sensitive to spirits at all, a distinct presence of another spirit, while Vik's slightly fading, would be felt. When she spoke, there was an additional whisper with her own voice. She wanted to make sure Crystiel knew the process so that she could relay it step by step if Vika herself was not able to do so. "I am going back to the last point which I saw the chest we seek. When it was in the hands of Garret and the last harbinger." The stars on the orb would suddenly stop, and seem to spin in 'reverse' rapidly, time itself going backwards to look as the night sky would have that night.
[2015/10/07 20:46:25] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and nods..then watches as Viv, goes into her trance...she sits down and watches with a huge grin on her face...which only gets bigger as she sees the lady's eyes go white...and Claps softly in glee seeing the eyes on her hands, That was not expected and interesting....Crystiel does not spook easily, and not much scares her....everything new, especially the unexpected was new knowledge...and unless harms her physically, is nothing more then a fleeting event...she nods as she hears what she says, but doesnt expect the seer to see it.
[2015/10/07 20:54:39] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me would not exactly see the clapping or the nod of the head, though she was aware enough of what was going on around her. Though if she were to get attacked, there was still nothing she could do about it. She seemed rather at ease with this vision. More often than not, she was in excruciating pain. While there was distinctly some discomfort in her expression, the spirit that was the eyes was curious enough about all the happenings of her world that it did not fight her so much, not to mention it was amplifying a natural gift, rather than cursing her with it's own. The stars in the orb would be moving at a fairly rapid pace as she was seeing the chest as if watching a movie on fast forward. "They took it back to the keep and locked it away in a secret spot," that was really not so secret anymore now that her eyes had 'seen' it. Mental note for later. The stars would move rapidly again until it was once again moved. "Someone else takes it and gives it to...." she stopped, if disbelief were possible in her
[2015/10/07 20:54:40] /me expression, she was showing it now. Along with confusion. "Batman? He's....going back across the isle with it and....." And now, she would show annoyance of all things. Cedar must not have known her dolt brother took it to her home if she sent Vika on a goosechase like this. "He took it to Cedar's home," she muttered out.
[2015/10/07 21:00:49] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me nods and smilles, a Secret room...that sounds interesting...but she wouldnt care where it was, everyone has their secrets....Batman...she had met him at one point...at least she knows his name.....and Cedars house?, "Ummmm....isnt she the one who sent you to find it?...why didnt she tell you then she had it....or why has Batman not mentioned anything?" she says with another Grin.
[2015/10/07 21:04:29] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((shit wait, i wouldn't realize that was cedar's home. i could assume....knowing they're siblings...))
[2015/10/07 21:05:12] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((bleh, let's leave it as it is but not mention it's cedar's home any longer rofl it's midnight, i don't feel like retyping))
[2015/10/07 21:05:40] Crystiel Thistlebush (Kristie Teardrop) OOC: Batmans home it is
[2015/10/07 21:08:48] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me totally hadn't said it was Cedar's home like a derp that she sometimes is. Regardless, she knew Batman had taken it somewhere, and she knew where. The question was still why hadn't he told someone or why had he even moved it to begin with. The light in the orb started to fade until it was the clear ball once again, her eyes closing and the ones in her palms closing as well. The spiritual presence about her would fade and she would once again seem her 'normal' self. "I can only assume that he doesn't know what it is, which still does not fully explain his actions," she said after a few moments of reorienting herself, eyes opening again and back to their normal purplish hue. "But his home or someone else's, Cedar put me on this path to find it, so I will go get it and then I will return it to the Wardens and deal with the consequences for breaking into someone's home and stealing it."
[2015/10/07 21:11:54] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles and nods again, which is her usual response to anything, "Would you still like some company...or are you gonna be ok on your own from here...you dont seem to be falling over as you feared"
[2015/10/07 21:14:54] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me felt like falling over since finding out it was Batman that had picked up the bloody chest. Admittedly, she was wearing out, but she put a smile on her face, stubborn as always, and just assumed he didn't know better. She was too far into this now to stop and risk it getting moved again. "I would never turn down the company if it is something you wish to join me on. I may need to see if there is a way for you to slip in and unlock the door if it is not already unlocked, anyway."

[2015/10/07 21:31:34] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me scratches her head and looks at the door as they stood back a ways. "I...generally found other means of getting into a place if I really needed to. Being able to put people to sleep let me take care of them after they let me in," she said, admitting that she may have done some not as nice things in the past. Girl's gotta survive somehow, right?! She went to one of the windows and looked inside. Everything seemed to be quiet. She had to keep thinking to herself that if it was someone Batman trusted enough to put the chest in their house, it had to be someone pack related. That was her logic, at least. It made her feel a little bit better since her stubbornness and unwillingness to let it move again would not let her stop at this point. She reached for the door, turning the knob and pushing, just to see if on the off chance it was unlocked since she hadn't remembered seeing Batman lock it once he'd left. Then again she hadn't had the best of angles to see once he'd sat the chest down. Assuming he'd left it
[2015/10/07 21:31:34] /me unlocked as Cedar OOCly told her, the door would open, and she nearly jumped as if she hadn't expected it to actually be unlocked. "Or....we could be extremely lucky....which makes me worry that there is some hidden three headed beast inside waiting to eat us because it is too easy..."

[2015/10/07 21:39:06] Kristie Teardrop: replies*
[2015/10/07 21:43:19] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me laughed at the fae's comment of wanting to see a three headed beastie. "I always heard one guarded a part of the Umbra, though I have never seen such a creature myself in all my times traveling in there." She would carefully push the door open further and look inside, taking one tentative step once she reaffirmed that it seemed to be empty. Once in, she would look about, being a little bit nosy. That is when her eyes hit the scrying orb on the apothecary desk. With that orb, and Batman having brought it here. "I just broke into Cedar's house..." she said plain as day, shaking her head. "Or I believe I did, at any rate." She was less worried now because even if the fae showed up and found them there, she's the one that sent them on this escapade. She looked about the room more, orienting herself with how she last remembered seeing the chest positioned, which was a trick since it was blocked. She had to figure out what piece of furniture was the right one blocking it.

[2015/10/07 21:55:04] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me was indeed getting tired. It would be clear on her face. At this point it was honestly sheer stubbornness that kept her going. It was like the dragon's ring all over again. Once she knew where it was, she wasn't stopping till she knew it wasn't going to be moved or lost again. Finally, she got herself in a well enough position to have it figured out. There sat the chest and she could feel a weight lift off of her shoulders. "Next time, I put the person carrying it to sleep and make sure I know it's going where it needs to go, and then find a way to put a ward around the thing so no one can go near it again," she said matter of factly as she reached over for it. Luckily it wasn't too heavy, if she remembered the description of it correctly, or too large, but it looked heavier than it was simply because she was worn out. "Let's get out of here and get this back to the Wardens, shall we? Before I really do fall over.."
[2015/10/07 21:59:12] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles as she nods once againt to he seer, "yes lets.....do you wish for me to carry it..it would be a simple matter of levitation" she says as she steps outside and holds the doorr for her.
[2015/10/07 22:01:05] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me looked at the chest and felt a little pathetic. She knew it wasn't /that/ heavy....but she wasn't sure if she could make it to the keep. "If it is not too much strain on you to get it there. Once we're there, I will wait with it until I can get it to someone who knows what is going on, and then you can let Meri know that we found it and returned it to where it was suppose to be."

[2015/10/07 22:06:32] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me sat it down and moved back quickly once she saw dust fluttering off the fae's skin. She remembered when Mae passed that Crystiel could have eased the pain by touching her, and the powder that fell off her when she suddenly got really big in the den at the meetings. She assumed it was the equivalent to the stuff that some fae liked to put in food and drink to trick poor unsuspecting folk....that they both had experienced all too well once upon a time!
[2015/10/07 22:08:32] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me focuses on the dust as it begins to glow and then the chest rises up into the air and floats just behind her, "OK ready...lead the way..." she says with a huge grin. the chest bobbing behind, but is highlighted with a rainbow aura of colors, some dripping off of it and sprinkling the ground.

[2015/10/07 22:10:13] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me still kept clear of that chest. Somehow she was more worried about it getting dust on her than the fae herself, despite that the logic made no sense! She turned and headed back in the direction that they had come from, except turning towards Upper Aberwyth instead of the den again till finally they were at Warden's Keep
[2015/10/07 22:10:38] Kristie Teardrop: left chat range.

[2015/10/07 22:13:59] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me smiles as she concentrates on the chest and smiles a she takes it inside the keep, "where would you like it?"
[2015/10/07 22:15:06] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me points it to a corner beside the stairs. That looked like a safe enough place to tuck herself away while she waited. "That should do right there. I'll sit with it, and I'll be well enough hidden if I fall asleep that my body should block the chest and it won't be immediately noticed."
[2015/10/07 22:18:53] Crystiel Thistlebush: /me nods and motions with her hand as if guiding the chest...it floats across the room and settles down where she had pointed...soon after the glow fades and it becomes a normal chest once again...the magic burned up the dust, as any material component would have., "There you go....take care of it....let me know what you find out...I should prolly get home now and get some sleep, take care of yourself too.." she says with another smile.
[2015/10/07 22:25:54] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me nods her head and makes her way in that direction. "Make sure to let Meri know, if you can. I'll double check with her to let her know...and to see if that really was Cedar's house...." With that, she'd sit down and curl up with the chest and pass out, clutching onto it tightly.

No News is Still NewsViveka is determined to not let "no information" get Meri down and also stands up to someone who wishes to use Souls for her own pleasures rather than respecting them. [2015/10/24 20:49:43] Lenore (darklenore): /me notices that she was seen by the winged one, "Hello" she replies as she comes closer, "So, what have we here?"... She looks at the group some and then shrugs before looking at her raven, "Well, I guess I have to talk to people now...." [2015/10/24 20:51:10] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me knew that neither Nixie nor Viveka were worthless, and would have disabused her of the notion had it been brought up. They wouldn't have known about the other Dreamer otherwise, and Viv's other idea had merit as well, Meri just wanted to be sure she had all the possibilities with her. She'd glance about as she could, looking along the edges to see if another path might be easily found. Her gaze flicking about in the heavy growth with a soft sigh, then turned abck and let herself descend back to the edge of the rockslide. Her eyes flicking within, then back without and to the faces of those she'd asked to come, feeling more than a bit sheepish. If all that was within was more danger, was it fair to drag them along, even if she could try to blaze another trail? No, Meri'd let her wings shift downwards, nearly grazing the ground as she wing-hopped her way down the rockfall til she was close enough, then flopped atop one of the rocks and murmured "I don't see a way around it, not one that I can get any of you up to." [2015/10/24 20:51:46] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): ((Garrett on the other hand. Fuck that guy)) [2015/10/24 20:52:09] Nixie (adalori): [[ shud up you're the eye candy being the only dude here, clearly ]] [2015/10/24 20:52:25] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): ((oh come now, Meri set me up for that one)) [2015/10/24 20:54:19] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): ((.... He's a Champion.)) [2015/10/24 20:54:30] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): ((Oh hush, I was kidding, ^.^)) [2015/10/24 20:55:18] Lenore (darklenore): ((I miiiiiight have a solution)) [2015/10/24 20:56:15] Lenore (darklenore): ((nvm then)) [2015/10/24 20:59:43] Nixie (adalori): /me turned at the sound of a voice as their lurker decided to verbally make herself known, head tilting and just... staring with that pale gaze of hers, she didn't know who this one was or where she'd come from but the Siren certainly wasn't divulging information. She wasn't the most trusting in the best circumstances and this was far from the best... The draft behind her brought her attention back to the winged woman. "I may be be able to attempt scrying to find another path if we can not find one by traditional means." she murmurered to their group, she could try to be quiet but the way her voice echoed of it's own accord really made such efforts futile. "However I do not have my orb with me, I would have to return to the cove to retrieve it." she threw out the potential contribution there though she was hoping one of their party with finer senses than hers would be able to 'sniff' out a trail so to speak. [2015/10/24 21:00:48] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me watched as Meri came back down and shrugged her shoulders. "You know, the only thing that your visions truly had in common, aside from the darkness is the Shrine of Valeska, correct?" She knew Meri's and Elka's had. She'd even suggested Meri go there to look for clues since it seemed to focus on that when the child's voice told her to stop "her". "Did you all specifically see the Deep Woods or is this just an assumption because it was where the battle was fought and where the druids were?" [2015/10/24 21:03:13] Valkyrie Asta Munthe (asha.silvershade): is offline. [2015/10/24 21:04:52] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me perked up as the lurking woman finally made her presence known. He didn't respond to her, opting to stare behind a shaded hood and speaking in a pointed, if polite, tone, "Hello." AS Nixie mentioned having an orb with which she could scribe, and Viveka mentioning that they could be following a dead trail, he reached up to reseat the mask and speak in response, "I did not see a specific place. But, it seemed a reasonable place to start." He folded his hands together and looked between the three of them, "What do we know of the caves of the isle?" he looked to Viveka and help up his hand as if to deflect the question about the Den, "There are surly other cave systems through the rock work. Is is possible something escaped into thhem? Or perhaps never left?' [2015/10/24 21:07:51] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): alright guys. time for me to call it a night. i'm dying here. you guys can continue on with your speculation and ideas and such. o7 <3 )) [2015/10/24 21:08:05] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): ((Sorry and thank you Cedar. Truly.)) [2015/10/24 21:08:06] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): ((night!)) [2015/10/24 21:08:14] Nixie (adalori): [[ nighty cedar!! ]] [2015/10/24 21:08:18] Lenore (darklenore): ((AAAAWWWWWWWW)) [2015/10/24 21:08:19] Lιттle Ƭree (cedar.ashland): sure thing night all )) [2015/10/24 21:08:22] Lenore (darklenore): ((nighty)) [2015/10/24 21:13:09] Lenore (darklenore): ((my post?)) [2015/10/24 21:13:20] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): (yep.) [2015/10/24 21:17:19] Lenore (darklenore): /me realizes that they are having trouble progressing on their path, so she says, "Well..... I could go from shadow to shadow.... but it acts odd with other people.... I coooould make it so that you are all no longer living things and then go through the shadows, but I can't fix it.... ehh I'd be able to talk to you all anyway......" she suggests before realizing that they probably REALLY want to actually live through this, "How about I let Nevermore show the way" [2015/10/24 21:20:46] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me shifted her gaze to Viveka "I did go to the Shrine again, spent hours there, but - I couldn't see anything different, it didn't feel different at all." She'd nod to Nixie's words as well, "That's why I thought perhaps it hadn't been the location as much as an indication of Her somehow..." It still bothered Meri - the thought that something might be wrong with the Goddess but at the same time, the voice said 'her' not 'Her'. As much as it might have been just Meri's perspective on the Goddess, she couldn't help but think there was a difference. Maybe it wasn't Valeska, but someone related to Her. There was only one other Predicant she knew of... the one that She had looked at, at the end of the fight. At the question of caves, she just blinked again... then turned her gaze to the stranger. "No, we won't be going to the deep woods tonight. There has to be another way, something we're missing. The wyverns and other creatures there were fierce enough with a larger group, There must be something I've missed." She'd lift to her feet again, and hop her way the last portion down, wings held out wide to ca [2015/10/24 21:21:00] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me catch the air, though even with her reflexes, she'd wince a bit as the darkness hid a rock she hadn't quite seen and Meri'd land almost awkwardly before she corrected herself. "No, we'll find another way, in the light." She'd cast a faint smile to the stranger though in thanks. [2015/10/24 21:24:27] Nixie (adalori): /me hummed softly, stopping almost instantly as the song echoed louder... they were supposed to -not- draw attention to themselves after all... "There are a lot of tunnels, I have lost myself in them once or twice. You are implying one of the shadelings lurk there perhaps?" just making sure she was on the right page here, again she would turn as the female spoke, starring "If you have care for your pet it would be best to keep it on your shoulder. The Wyverns of the Isle originate from there." her tone indicating a friendly suggestion and sighing softly, nodding with agreement to Merialeth's words. "Perhaps we should all meet in the morn... afternoon." she remedied, spending all day on land was rather harsh for her. "We can reflect on what we have seen, I will bring food." cause food made everything better! [2015/10/24 21:24:56] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me didn't like the thought of them skittering through caves since her business was technically in one. Not to mention she knew of the tunnels that lead to...where ever it was Cedar had been held. "I would think I would notice if something tried to hide in, or about Crystal Skies. I keep extra doors sealed off as best as I can and the only one I will not fuss with is the one under the water in the springs. Though there are more tunnels in lower Aberwyth that I have not truly gone down." To the other woman, she would shake her head. "There are too many dangers that lie on the other side for a single entity to go into. If you do it, it is by your own will and we are not responsible for what happens. You were warned." It didn't seem she was sugar coating much. She knew what she felt in regards to the other side of those rocks. It was wild and dangerous and sealed off for a reason." Meri's troubled mind brought a frown to Vik's face. She'd reach out to attempt to squeeze the girl's shoulder. "I told you, [2015/10/24 21:24:56] /me sometimes events need to pass in order for us to understand what we see. This does not mean there is nothing to find, but only that we are not yet meant to know it. I have been living as a seer for centuries now and to this very day there are times that it is not till after the fact that things make sense." [2015/10/24 21:29:11] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me didn't intended to suggest they should go spelunking immediately, but he had to agree with Meri. Something about the situation did feel...off. He looked up between them and motioned towards the group again, "...what history do we know about Valeska...? Such a unqiue god...surely there are writings concerning her sphere, nature, or aspects, yes?" If Meri had already spent time meditating on the subject, he was certain that more meditation would probably not help either. At the new woman's suggestion that she could send her raven forward, and Nixie's warning against it, he pointed to Nixie in agreement, "It is appreciated, but the risk far outweighs the reward. The place is a very dark stain on the isle..." He then nodded towards Nixie's suggestion that they meet up the next day and motioned towards the path they'd walked in on, "Shall we return?" [2015/10/24 21:32:06] Lenore (darklenore): ((did i miss a post?)) [2015/10/24 21:32:21] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): (you're up.) [2015/10/24 21:32:24] Nixie (adalori): [[ who was the last person you got? ]] [2015/10/24 21:33:42] Lenore (darklenore): ((viveka)) [2015/10/24 21:33:45] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): (I need to go after next) [2015/10/24 21:34:25] Viveka (themis.adasia): [21:29:11] Garrett (Arex Koltai) didn't intended to suggest they should go spelunking immediately, but he had to agree with Meri. Something about the situation did feel...off. He looked up between them and motioned towards the group again, "...what history do we know about Valeska...? Such a unqiue god...surely there are writings concerning her sphere, nature, or aspects, yes?" If Meri had already spent time meditating on the subject, he was certain that more meditation would probably not help either.

[2015/10/24 21:34:36] Lenore (darklenore): ((thx)) [2015/10/24 21:38:14] Lenore (darklenore): "I guess going tomorrow and actually preparing for it is a good idea..... I really don't want to mess up some of my things and as much as I'd like to geep you as my ghosts, it would be better if living people were involved [2015/10/24 21:40:19] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me just inhaled deeply and sighed softly, the faint smile offered to Viveka's touch though she'd murmur a quiet "I'm sorry, it seems I've lead you all on a goose chase after all." But at least if she could get them home safely, it wouldn't be a total loss... At least they knew whatever was to be found, wasn't likely in the deep woods. To Garrett's question, she'd shake her head "Even for us Predicants, there isn't much known of Her... She is... mysterious." A slight shrug, her wings rustling, then murmurs "Yes, tomorrow perhaps... maybe we'll have some more illumination then." She'd stop short, lifting a brow at the stranger's comment, her head tilting and perusing her a bit more carefully... "No, there won't be any more ghosts made ... I still have far too long of my life yet to live, as do these three. Your ... offer... is appreciated, however." [2015/10/24 21:44:17] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me looked to Nixie and realized she had suggested they meet tomorrow. Sleepies were kicking in on her player and she was missing things. "Perhaps meeting at Crystal skies would be better since there is a tunnel in the water you can easily get to." She'd seen other mer come up through it nd just assumed the hot water didn't phase them. She would smirk when Garrett's words hit her, causally looking to him. "You can return to my place with me, if you like. You know...just to make sure we can find one another to meet again tomorrow." She'd have continued on but....then she heard someone talk about keeping people as their ghosts and her eyes flashed, head snapping to the unknown woman. "The ghosts should be respected and not kept, lest you wish to fall to their wrath some day. No one can hold their own against them and control them forever, and the one destiny we all share is death. Just imagine what they will do to your soul then." Apparently enslaving ghosts was one of the few things that actually managed to [2015/10/24 21:44:17] /me set Vika off. She'd stare in the womans direction, as if peering through to her soul, for several seconds before her demeanor suddenly changed and she smiled again to Meri. "No information is still information we did not have. It narrows down the search area." [2015/10/24 21:49:58] Nixie (adalori): /me pursed her lips. "I will check the library in the cove much of the information it holds predates when you landers settled here. When it was just Mer and the beasts in the wild. There may be something of use there. Garrett you have walked in the shoal before if you have a way with which to do it again you are welcome to browse our library. You two as well." Garrett was just the only lander she had seen do it so far so she pointed him out specifically. At the womans words she turned, starring hard with a narrow gaze. -She- for one didn't appreciate the mention of being turned into a ghost. Viveka beat her to the punch however and the Siren stayed silent, letting the tanned woman speak her bit with the slightest of smirks on her face. "Staying in the water would be a much appreciated boon. I am assuming you mean the one so full of crystals it scratches scale when you swim past?" cause clearly Viv knew what the tunnel looked like. Though it seemed they were all set to set out she'd wait for the [2015/10/24 21:49:58] Nixie (adalori): others to lead on. [2015/10/24 21:54:55] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me nodded in understanding, though it did frustrate him that -his- usual channels for knowledge were likely closed off. Still, not all mysteries could be solved the same way... At Nixie's offer, he gave her a genuine smile (though again hidden by the mask) and a bow of his head, "It would be an honor." Garrett appreciated the two women attempting to protect their souls. Especially since he was still using his, thank you very much, but his attention was taken by Viveka emphasizing that it was hardly a wasted effort, to which Garrett was in agreement, "Biggest myth about information gathering is that it's always gathered in one fell swoop. Many many failures precede that type of success..." Viveka's suggestion caused him to pause,though, his eyebrow perking towards her and after a moment, responded in a slightly chipper tone, "Well it -is- important, yes..." [2015/10/24 21:55:50] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((omfg sorry! i was dealing with stuff and didn't watch the post orders! rofl)) [2015/10/24 21:56:06] Nixie (adalori): [[ is okay Viv still luff you <3 ]] [2015/10/24 21:56:17] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((*bashes application stuffs!* and YOU BETTER CAUSE I HARTS YER FACE)) [2015/10/24 21:58:14] Lenore (darklenore): /me smirks creepily, "I respect ghosts!! they are so helpful! " she then looks around and shrugs [2015/10/24 21:59:21] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me nodded as Viveka spoke, her fervor met just as strongly, even if her phrasing wasn't as strong. She knew too many that were spiritually aware to take something so lightly. The news of a channel into the hot springs only surprised Meri a little bit, and though she'd never set foot in the place, the iea of the crystals intrigued her almost as much as the invitation to visit underwater. -That- Meri could, and would, so do... The fading expression turning to a delighted smile and the knowledge that she had just the spell, or potion, should it be required for the other two. That and - scrolls?? That landers didn't have? Goddess! Nixie might have a new lander living in her library after that comment... The er... comments between Garrett & Viveka were met with a flush of her cheeks that even in the growing darkness made Meri's face feel hot. Anyway! "So... tomorrow then... Um... I'll send Damien about to get a hold of everyone as need be?" If she didn't find them herself, that library was calling her.... and with that she'd move to head past and make her way back out of the woods. She'd considered ju [2015/10/24 21:59:31] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me just flying home, but well - Sira'Kess would likely kill her if she didn't make sure Nixie made it home in one piece. [2015/10/24 22:02:22] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): ((assume that I'm movin with you guys, I can't see for beans in here and am going to fly Meri home once y'all are out safe.)) [2015/10/24 22:02:46] Nixie (adalori): [[ Carries the Meri on her shoulder -ONWARDS- ]] [2015/10/24 22:03:05] Lenore (darklenore): ((heeeheeeee)) [2015/10/24 22:03:29] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me sits on Nixie's shoulders and makes a totem pole with wings out.)) [2015/10/24 22:04:18] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me wrinkled her nose up at the thought of how those crystals must have felt. "I've seen it, a very limited distance at least. I looked over every nook and cranny once I took over and the springs were discovered. Didn't feel the need to seal it off. Never had issue with mer before and none, to my knowledge, have attacked anyone trying to bathe so....I won't bother it until it becomes an issue. If you can make it through there, then by all means, we can meet there." To the woman talking about enslaving souls, her expression would darken. "They are far more helpful when they aid you on their own free will." And then to Garrett, she would grin again. "It is important matters. There should be much discussing on them. And I tend to lose time, so...having someone to make sure I am coherent would be greatly appreciated."
Viveka gets a few things off her chest, though afraid of the response, and then refuses to allow others to rile her up, be that their intention or not. She doesn't do well with pompous peeps
[19:50:12] Garrett (Arex Koltai) made his way into the opium den, his eyes adjusting to the darkness of Lower Aberwyth, and he found himself once again standing before the front desk. He looked over the edge to see if he could spot the goat from the previous day, wishing he'd bought an apple before he came in
[19:58:16] Djali would not be behind the counter, so his stash there was ripe for the picking....if the worker was kind enough to hand one over. Djali was in the general gathering area further in, sitting with Vika. His head would have lifted and lazily looked down the hall when he heard doors open, but he wouldn't have gotten up. The woman working behind the desk would ask if she could help Garrett with anything
[20:04:05] Garrett (Arex Koltai) offered a small smile to the woman working behind the desk and first explained that he owed the Den money for his previous requests and then followed up with a query if Viveka was in. He turned his head towards the common area, but between the smoke haze and darkness, it was difficult to see too far into the areas beyond
[20:07:38] Was in and was either very lazy or thinking very hard. Or a combination. Or just didn't realize someone was up at the entrance. The worker would inform him that she was somewhere in the general establishment. She was actually laying on the couch in the main area, a few patrons scattered about and workers wandering. Girls flirting with men that were there, and if Garrett came far enough back, they were sure to latch onto him as well. Vik herself seemed sort of in a daze, eyes half glazed over, the odd purple hue half faded to white as well as the pupil.
[20:12:50] Garrett (Arex Koltai) thanked the woman for her assistance and started to walk through the haze, the weapons and other accessories he so often work clinking and clanging softly as he did. As he finally came across Viveka in what appeared to be some sort of trance. He would take a knee near her, at first concerned that something had happened to her, limp as she probably was and eyes so very white. But if she was still breathing, he'd hesitate to touch her, realizing that she might be in some sort of magical trance. Rather than touch her directly, he'd either sit near her on the couch or take a seat next to her, removing a pipe from his gear and placing some of the newly-acquired apple tobacco inside to begin puffing on it
[20:18:09] Viveka (Themis Adasia) was acutely aware of what was around her, and if she wasn't, Djali would help by bleating that someone was approaching, but didn't even bother to get up. Some guard goat he was. He was getting lazy since being dubbed the king of pies. She would close her eyes for a moment, and when opening them, they would be back to their normal appearance. She would smile and tilt sit up, giving him more room and reaching out to gently brush her fingers through his hair. "You know you are one of the few who has not freaked out on me seeing my eyes like that and violently shook me to 'wake' me up. Thank you. Not that it would cause a problem but...it is quite jarring and some day my neck may snap."
[20:29:28] Garrett (Arex Koltai) was a bit started as as she started to sit up, not realizing she had closed her eyes, but it was a startle based around expectation that she wasn't aware of her surroundings. As she placed her hands through his hair, he closed his eyes and leaned his head slightly into the touch before reaching out to try and brush his own hand through her hair, "It has been my experience that trying to do so very rarely assists anything, even if you were hurt..." If she'd let him, he'd leaned his head to hers to kiss on her forehead lightly, "I spoke to Meri about the visions..."
[20:33:49] Viveka (Themis Adasia) tilted her head into the kiss and smiled, though it fell off of her face when he spoke next of the visions. She let out a soft sigh and sat more upright. "That is what I was reflecting on. Is she still worrying over it?" That wasn't quite what she wanted to talk about today, but it seemed it was going to be the first conversation she was going to have. Hopefully it wouldn't be the only conversation she ever had with anyone from here on out "She was here last night as well. I'd told her you had the same as me, and then we had the same as her and Nixie. I also cautioned her to not dwell or over think it, that sometimes we are not meant to understand them the moment we have them. I have had visions that I never understood its meaning or purpose."
[20:38:19] Garrett (Arex Koltai) nodded towards her as she asked if Meri was still concerned and her relay of what had happened in the previous few days, "I'd be lying if it didn't linger...but I feel similar to how you feel.." He brought his pipe up to his lips to puff quietly, savoring the apple flavor before looking back to her, "But in the absence of external threat...or something actionable...we're just chasing visions..." Once again, he'd attempt to reach out and place his arm around her shoulders and pull, looking to bring her back against his chest and lean his head against hers, "So what is it like...when you do...that...' He mtoined over her, as if to indicate her trance-like state, his fingers looking to start roaming softly on her arms and her chest
[20:47:51] Viveka (Themis Adasia) was easily moved, in fact she smirked and laughed a little when he did so, snuggling in after head met chest, tossing her legs across his, though lifting her head for only a moment to push the feathered thing out of the way so it would stop ticking her nose. Once it was gone, she'd rest her head again. And then the question hit, the one that wasn't so easy to answer without a full explanation. "Sometimes painful, depending on the situation..." she admitted right from the start. "I am...connected to a spirit. Possessed of sorts I suppose you could say though it does not actually inhabit my body. My soul is linked to one in the umbra. It is what enhanced my clairvoyant nature and allowed me to grow to the seer that I am now. There would be little difference between myself and the average tarot reader most likely. My eye half change when I need to focus to recollect things. When they do that, it is like I am half seeing the Umbra, half here, yet memories flying through my mind. A complete vision, more
[20:47:51] happens." She lifted her hands and closed her eyes. There was perhaps a twinge of magic to what she did, but it was more spiritual in nature since no actual spell was used. Once her eyes opened again, they would be solid white, though not really easy for him to see. The 'scar' across each palm would open to reveal two ethereal eyes that darted around the room, eyes she clearly struggled a moment to contain. "She has a bit of a mind of her own," she said once she finally seemed to have control over her own body again. "And she is vastly curious. Like this, I see the world as the Umbra looks. Our visions are swapped until she is focused on what it is that I am trying to see."
[20:56:43] Garrett (Arex Koltai) snuggled right back up to her, his body curling slightly into hers as she seemed receptive to his touch. As she started to explain how it was, exactly, that she saw into the umbra, he frowned in quiet contemplation, doing his best to understand. It was quite hard, unfortunately, as he was a man so heavily tied into the mundane existence around them, which did not help the situation. He looked down towards her as she lifted her hands, and was not able to see her eyes, but it was impossible not to see the ethereal eyes appeared from her hands and began to roam around. it was a slightly distrubing sight, but it perhaps said something about him that his body's natural reaction towards the 'unusual' thing, was to try and curl tighter around Viveka, his grip pulling her towards her if only for a brief moment. Her voice put him at ease though, and once the initial shock wore off, he frowned in thought again before speaking, "So...is it like...a request to see what you want? Do you have to fight for
[20:56:43] control?" He didn't sound concened, but rather more curious, his hands once again starting roaming over her skin, and occasionally entwining into her hair
[21:02:24] Viveka (Themis Adasia) seemed to visibly relax when there was no running down the hall or fear or anything else negative, rather she was held tighter. The eyes in her palms blinked closed and her natural eyes closed as well and she let herself fully relax into him. "It depends. If I am seeking an answer, then I dictate it as best as I can. She must have been a scholar or something in her life. I do not know everything about her nor can I see her when I go to the Umbra myself. It is almost as if we are one entity there. But there are times where things are forced upon me. Either she so strongly wishes to know or the spirits in general want me to know something. I get little to no control over those. Sometimes I just see things in dreams, though those are generally less reliable"
[21:07:25] Garrett (Arex Koltai) wasn't sure why she was so much more relaxed into his touch (having not consciously realized what he'd done), but he was happy to feel her content and comfortable...or at least as comfortably as he could be. he turned his head down to hers to once again press his lips against her head, though this time it was simply to the top, his head tussling her hair ever so slightly. He would keep his head near hers as she explained what it took to see into the Umbra and the relationship she had with the Other. He tilted his head slightly so that he wouldn't be talking directly at her skill, and his hands tried to reach down and lace his fingers into hers, "And I thought research in a library was a taxing affair..." He clearly smirked, even if she couldn't see it, though he once again turned his attention to her abilities, "So are the visions...like memories? Or as pictures?"
[21:19:18] Viveka (Themis Adasia) laughed at his comment. If only she could avoid that grueling task as well whenever the situation called for it. She'd tilt her head back and try to place a kiss on his cheek before nuzzling into his neck. She was always appreciative of being accepted. It was not hugely common for her. There was always something that tended to have everyone keeping her arms length away. Most of the time at least. "I generally see as if I am looking through someone's eyes. Not always though. Very often when I am holding an object belonging to someone, I see more of the setting, including the person it belonged to. But when Cedar wished to show me something, I saw through her eyes mostly. The future is...more complicated. Things can be hazy as they are not yet set in stone. The future is constantly being written. Any little action can set you on a different path, just as going with you all the other night to try to look at the deep woods changed mine in several ways."
[21:27:00] Garrett (Arex Koltai) would even lean his head forward to facilitate her kiss, turning his head to her to try and snatch a pass at her lips before she began her explanation. He narrowed his eyes slightly in thought as she describe the different forms of vision she might have, "It sounds...useful...but at the same time terribly confusing...' he smirked again and looked to her, "Again, not unlike research..." He smiled slightly at her mention of the night int he woods, having almost missed the opportunity to meet Viveka properly. He looked back to her and titled his head again as he looked her over, his voice once again filled with curiousity, "How did you come across such a power. Was it a familial legacy?"
[21:33:05] Viveka (Themis Adasia) wrinkled her nose up and shook her head. "There were a few clairvoyants from time to time. In my old p - " she paused, not finishing the line. She was going to admit to that as well since he now had proof she wasn't one of the ones that shifted and did awful things, she just hadn't intended to lead into it quite that way. "Pack. In my old pack, the only one I had ever been in before, there were those of us they called chosen by Gaia. Something about us stood out above others with similar skills. Such as my gifts with visions." She hesitated for another moment, sucking in a deep breath and letting it out slowly before finally blurting out in a rather rapid fire manner, "bythewayI'mGarou," and then shrinking into a ball. "Just one that cannot shift. Not fully at least. Some patches of hair...claws...sort of. Nothing of any true significance. The moon holds little sway over me. I do not join them in hunts. In fact, I never joined packs till I came here. The first alpha was kind. Gentle. I liked her. Skyrah
[21:33:05] chased her off, I believe. When she started burning things down, I was ready to leave. but Skyrah asked for my help, my guidance and my calming abilities. Elka....not so much. I near feel cast out again. I have considered leaving countless times. That is no place for one as gentle as I generally am. Not any longer. And the things she has done to others....you. Your memories. Using you as a blood doll. And another in the pack she'd used as a doll. I've not seen him in a while. Not sure if he is even still alive..."
[21:37:32] Garrett (Arex Koltai) continued to her quietly, perking a brow slightly as she finally admitted to what he'd suspected about her. As she shrunk into a small ball at her revelation, he tried to tighten his grip around her, to make her feel that he'd not really changed his opinion of her. But as she spoke about the changes in the pack, he frowned again, his hand now once again reaching to brush through her hair in a small attempt to make her feel better, "I do not regret my choices or my time...but I would not wish you to feel what I have felt..."
[21:37:43] Lucerys pushes open the doors of the den he'd found.. which he'd kept as a surprise for Milky.. His voice booms upon entry.. "I have money, I have class and I have the will. Bring me wine, women and the best shit you have in the house." His voice was epically potent in the confines of these closed in walls, the sound of a master singer blessed by unholy gods.. he makes sparks from his hands and looks at Milky and Athansia who had no idea what she'd signed up for.. "Ams goings to gets drunks." he says in his more native and excited native accent.
[21:41:53] Taeryn (kiiama.insoo) walks silently behind the man who'd earlier promised to take Taeryn somewhere fun that he'd found. Little did he know that this place was a dark den of what she could only assume was opium. Her face fell flat as the man announced himself and his intentions. Slowly, however, with the glowing lights and the decore that was really quite cozy, her face started to turn into a sheepish smirk, looking at the horse woman. "Yea... he's kind of important..." She told her. "Famous, and important." His voice filled the hall, and Taeryn followed with a really loud "Yes, bring us your finest alcohols, finest women, and finest sedatives!" She'd clap her hands together excitedly. This all was what she found to be very entertaining.
[21:43:38] The woman sitting at the desk would blink a few times at the sudden abrupt and loud voice that entered the doors. After her moment of being startled, she would smile and gesture for one of the girls, a rather scantily clad dancer, if you could even call her clad, to escort the group further back, welcoming them to Crystal Skies and Springs. The dancer, as they were informed, was named Tulip, at least that was what she had others calling her. Charm or no charm, she was paid to flirt, and she would instantly attempt to loop her arm around Lucias', offering a bright smile and asking them to follow her. Viveka, still curled up in a little ball, began to relax again, at least until she heard a voice above others coming from down the hall. She let out a sigh, though not unfamiliar with such patrons. She use to work in taverns. She was use to the rowdiest of the rowdy. "I wish you to not have to face it again," she admitted, relaxing back to her original position again.
[21:48:00] Athanasia would look around and noticed how deep under the city they were, as she entered she laughs out at lucery and shakes her head then watches taeryn "You two really go all out...is this sort of thing normal for you? I must say this is a first for me and that doesn't come around offend i can drink with the best around men but you two are entirely different or so it feels that way..." she slowly walks in deeper into the hall way as her hoof steps echo along the walls "I'm curious is this a common thing among two legged creatures?" she says as she watches them call out for booze and women
[21:49:19] ღⒿⓔⓢⓢⓐ Ⓜⓤⓡⓐⓨღ (hoshikohana): (brb quickly!)
[21:50:29] Garrett (Arex Koltai) looked up from Viveka as well to peer into the middling darkness and haze, trying to see the people who had made their way into the Den. But, as it had been with Viveka, he couldn't quite see very far in the darkness to full see the people or their details, though the volume of the voice did more than enough to announce exactly the type of people who'd made their way inside. He turned his head back to Viveka as the people began to be served by the staff and he squeezed her slightly harder as she mentioned that she hoped he would not have to deal with her peculiarities, "A goal I think I can get behind too..." He let his thumb brush across her hand before speaking again, turning his head into her head, "I am sorry about your current situation, though..."
[21:56:12] Lucerys would take the attendants arm quite freely.. "Well Tulip, you can fetch me 3 ounces of Powder.. and 2 bottles of Absinthe for now.. and get a hookah set up as well." he reels off a whole list of very specific instructions.. "And make sure it has Ambrosia in it." he clicks his fingers.. "Dancers too, make sure its a dark girl.. human preferably." he goes on as they walk down the hall.. "Space for the Centaur too, she'll take up some room, she needs to be comfortable." eventually the likely overwhelmed attendant ceases getting instructions as he sits down where hes told.. taking his lute off his back to tune.. "Sit, Sit." he waves a free hand to Athanasia.. Taeryn knew exactly where to sit.. eventually he looks at the couple nearby and grins broadly.. "Not to interrupt, but join us by all means.." he extends the offer quite graciously.. as he waits for the hookah to be sorted..
[21:58:58] Leana (halie.carnell) is online.
[22:01:39] Taeryn (kiiama.insoo) walked with her companions, now two, when first there was one. The girl that took Luce's arm got a grilling search from head to toe. Not that taeryn was jealous or judging by any means, but the girl wasn't attractive to taeryn and the fact she was touching Luce without even acknowledging her was rather upsetting. Taeryn raise d a brow at Athanasia and nodded. "Oh yes, quite normal. You see, Lucerys is a famous musician... quite renowned for his vocal quality and his lute skills... He basically ets paid to exist at this point." (For those who might want to RP it, Luce's social standing is at a 9, and he might be recognizable to some.) "Perks of fucking someone famous... you too get to live the life of fame." She'd motion for the female centaur to follow behind Luce and further into the de with her and the boney broad who's fingers were all over Taeryn's man. She wanted to trip her, and kick her while she was down. Instead, however, she sat very, very close to Luce and put a hand on his thigh, leaning in
[22:01:39] Taeryn (kiiama.insoo): to kiss her lover's cheek. "You['ve earned it love... feel free to enoy tonight... but... let me pick, alright?"
[22:02:53] Taeryn (kiiama.insoo): (So many missing letters. let me know if anything is unclear.)
[22:06:51] Athanasia walks in further and looks around and sees the chairs and laughs to herself "I think ill just lay here on the rug." she blinks a few times "Really i did not know that sort of thing happens tho i guess this would be my first time around some one famous." she motions to a bar maid "Um i'll have some dark mead if you have it...nothing too hard as of right now.."
[22:10:24] Tulip would suggest they actually go into the room with the dance pit if it was girls they suggested, but the man seemed to have already settled himself in a seat. Plus being room for a centaur, she wasn't sure. She would still mention it, if it suited their likings. More privacy in there at any rate. Mentally, the girl would work up the figures in her head, glancing to Vika, a glance which the owner caught and gave a slight nod to. "To let you know, as it sits now, your total is 3 silver and 70 copper. We do not have tabs here and it is requested that you pay prior to receiving your products." Tulip wasn't the most comfortable insisting this, feeling a little overwhelmed by the presence of them, perhaps it was all three, maybe it was the look she got. Even more possible, it was the centaur that did it. They could be terribly frightening in small places. "If you have a dancer for longer than an hour, it will be more. If you have other requests - more still." Viveka would have been slightly confused
[22:10:25] to what Garrett had meant about her current situation. It took her a moment to realize he meant what she'd just said, about not feeling too comfortable where she was, of sorts. Vik was not paying too much attention to the group. So long as they paid and didn't cause any troubles, she had no interest in what they had to say amongst themselves. She only snooped when she found herself curious enough or found herself needing to know what certain people would say. However it was interrupting, and allowing for curious ears, to hear things she did not wish to be known by others. Slowly, she would rise to her feet, offering a bow of her head and a smile to the group. "Welcome to Crystal Skies and Springs. I do hope my staff is able to tend to you to your approval." As for the mead, Tulip would have to add that to the count, bringing it to 3 silver and 73 copper. Tulip would nod her head to the mead as well, and letting them know as much.
[22:16:27] Garrett (Arex Koltai) watched the three enter the room, his eyes watching them slowly and his face remaining fixed in a quiet, brooding manner. It was usually how he reacted to people coming into a room, but something about atmosphere of the Den, the privacy he'd previously been enjoying, and the general shift in mood was enough to elicit a small annoyed response from him. He'd lift his pipe, though, towards Lucerys at the man's offer, though he didn't rise to take advantage. At Taeryn's emphasis that he was renowned for his lute skills, Garrett turned his head back to Lucerys and eyed him for a bit, eventually thinking that perhaps he had heard of the man. If through town gossip and news if by nothing else. As Viveka began to rise, he didn't protest her leaving, though he was now quite away how much his body had been used to her proximity, and the left side of his torso was now growing considerably colder
[22:18:32] Garrett (Arex Koltai) also go pulled up as Viveka had originally mean to say that she was trying to pull him to his feet
[22:22:41] IoV Mentor / Application Handlers: undeadbird is looking for an Isle of Valesk Mentor!
[22:23:28] Lucerys waves his hand dismissively at the price, like it was nothing.. "Thats fine." he murmurs from around his own pipe.. He would pay for the others without concern.. The centaur was their guest, and Taeryn paid her share with her own ways.. He blows out a languid plume of smoke.. reaching into his pouch for 4 silver.. "Considering the excess for anticipated good service.." 30 copper tip wasn't too shabby... "Now, lets see.." he sinks back into his stool giving the den mistress a once over as she announces herself.. "I hope so." he cracks a smooth grin.. tipping his head politely to the fellow who seemingly declined his offer before getting back to his company as Milky kissed him.. "You want to pick?" he pushes his lips out in an 'o' clearly thinking about it.. "Alright.. you can pick, though don't be too selfish." he slaps her thigh giving it a rub as he looks at the Centaur "If you're not comfortable just say.. they'll fetch you whatever you need." "So you got a name?" "I'm Lucerys." he gestures freely with
[22:23:28] Lucerys: his hands.. "The Aneurin etc. etc." he says idly about his titles..
[22:28:35] Taeryn (kiiama.insoo) gets up from her seat, after having recieved the answer she wanted. THough as she stood, she was addressed and greeted by the woman standing before her, as Tulip recounted what was owed. Taeryn shrugged and Lucerys produced the money. "Thank you for your hospitality... could you possibly have your girls line up for me, please... Darker complected, like yourself, and none too skinny. I shan't like to see ribs and hip bones. Thank you." Her eyes drifted to the man that stood nearby and she dipped her head. "Well hello." And her gaze dropped to the horse as she lay. "Well then, perhaps you'd like a blanket? Are you going for a nap?"
[22:32:56] Athanasia would shake her head laughing "Nay i need no blanket, just more comfortable laying down than standing on my hooves the whole time..Its nice to meet you, and yes i have a name its Athanasia. Pleasure to meet you both.. as for what i want and need...aside from mead...having a human girl fawn over me might be nice but most wouldn't treat me that way... they get to excited and all they see is oooo pony. So no thanks But i must admit this is fun and i might learn a thing or two.."
[22:37:07] Tulip would skitter off to go find and prepare their orders. Viveka would nod her head to them again, seeing how she was looked at but not minding in the least. She was use to it. She spent centuries making coin in part on how she looked and flirted, which at the end of the day had let her buy this place up...even if she had started out wanting the springs. She listened to each of them as they spoke this time, giving a light laugh and shaking her head. "Generally our girls and men here would not treat you as such. They have my goat to faun over like that. Goddess knows he revels in it, especially with the girls. We are a little short handed on our selection at the time. The blight chased some people off and rowdy customers who we were unable to supply since ships were not coming in chased others of, but I am sure there is someone to s
[22:37:07] your tastes. If you will excuse me, however, I will be in the springs." And with that, Vik would reach to grasp Garrett at his elbow and proceed further into the establishment, allowing the group their privacy, aside from workers and other patrons about, and so she and Garrett could continue their conversation.
[22:37:29] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((sorry if i'm missing things too btw, poke me if i didn't answer anything someone asked))
[22:42:00] Garrett (Arex Koltai) did not actually seem to mind their presence too much (he certainly wasn't particularly averse to people), but they were very much not the usual sort of company Garrett often kept. His clothes were much the opposite of theirs, functional and worn from use rather than fashionable. As Viveka reached to his elbow he'd smile to her and reach to grab the bandoleer he'd placed on the couch to which his swords were strapped and nod towards Viveka that he was ready to move out. Before they disappeared though, he'd offer a polite bow of his head towards the new folks and a polite smile towards them
[22:47:15] Lucerys "Did you say Nay?" his face slowly cracks until he couldn't help but laugh.. almost dropping his pipe.. "Either you're untapped comedy gold.. or you're a witty woman.." he muses, retrieving his pipe to his lips.. "Its fine, we'll find plenty of willing folks to fawn on you at your leisure." he glances at Taeryn as she lists off her requests and pays no mind, he'd let her handle it. As the owner explained herself he tilts his head a bit as she leaves.. "Rare I spend so much and the owner leaves me alone.." he glances at Taeryn.. "10/1 odds, she fucks that fellow." he laughs dryly and relaxes back into his chair, playing his archlute which filled the small space with the electrifying noise of melodic rock..
[22:51:34] Taeryn (kiiama.insoo) watched the woman as she made to leave. "Aye. Never seen that before. You'd think with a staffing problem, and the amount of purse you've shown, she'd -want- to hang around." Her arms crossed a it and she shrugged. "Perhaps... if she doesn't bail for something even less interesting." She'd smirk a bit and her eyes went to the horse. "No nap, no hard drinks, no drugs... and you're looking for a human girl to fawn over a horse?" Her brow rose. "-and- she said nay..." She'd stifle a laugh. "This night, it's quite interesting this far, really."
[22:53:29] Viveka (Themis Adasia) was about to turn and head towards the springs but pauses at Lucerys' words with a light laugh. "I mean no offense by it, truly, and my apologies if you for some reason wished for me to stay. We have only recently gotten restocked and it has been quite busy, on top of many other things going on. I am just a bit overwhelmed. ((and the player is too trying to do npcs and her own rp and answering questions! sorry!)) " Not to mention some conversations she did not like for others to hear. Her life, or freedom, sometimes depended on her discretion. "Please let me know if you need anything else. I am sure Tulip and the others can assist you just fine." And with that, unless stopped, she'd for real head back this time, Tulip returning and placing everything down neatly and carefully that had been ordered and waiting to see if their preference of a girl had changed.
[22:57:14] Garrett (Arex Koltai) actually had no context for how much money it took to require and owner to arrive. Or that such a thing even occurred. Clearly he'd not had that type of disposable income. He watched Viveka respond to her patrons with quiet interest, only the occasional puff on his pipe giving sound to his presence as he waited for htem to gain social escape velocity
[22:57:35] Athanasia sips on her mead and nods "your right it is starting to look quite interesting.. As for wanting drugs look at me....it would take alot to get me where it would take you very little effort." she looked and watched them both "So i'm curious how messed drunk and drug induced to you get or intend to get?
[23:02:49] Lucerys waves a hand at Viveka "If I was offended I'd ask for free powder." he cackles around his pipe from the inside of his throat.. "Go on. I'm sure I won't be so bad I require the girl here to suck the pipe for me." he winks at Tullip and then returns his companions.. "Well don't be surprised if you see some things you've never seen before.." he snakes his tail around his waist to form a belt.. "Oh I'm sure I could get enough in you..." he says in regards to how much she'd need... "Who do you think the 3rd ounce was for." he laughs jovially, drumming his hand as all the things are laid out.. immediately cracking open the absinthe to swig.. making a good O face at the taste.. "Very good.." he holds the bottle up to Taeryn, expecting her to drink..
[23:08:30] Viveka (Themis Adasia) turns just in time to see Jaxon entering, relief evident in her expression that someone else was here to make sure the customers were taken care of. "Ah, Jaxon, dove. I need to finish having a conversation, would you mind making sure Tulip takes care of our guests well enough please?" She'd beam at him and then...for reals...go through the beaded curtain

Magic 7-8 5 weeks; 2-3 rp/week Estimated completion: 12/3 1. I don't like this kind of warning!
[20:02:46] Garrett (Arex Koltai) did seem to appreciate her statements, his head rubbing against hers a bit as she spoke and his hands gripped hers again. He smiled slightly as she explained that it was her particular circumstances that helped wall her mind against such magic, a reminded that she'd mentioned as much before, though it had been when he was still dealing with the migraine caused by Elka's magic. He chuckled again, but clearly in a positive light as she mentioned it was yet another reason to keep her around, his head looking to nibble playfully at her ear, "I only need one..." But still, it was true! He nodded slightly and let her ear go from his nibblage as she mentioned how she preferred defense over offense, if only to avoid disturbing balance in the universe. He nodded again and smile, "And, for that matter, I'm sure it's easier to cast upon a willing target..."
[20:10:41] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) entered chat range (17.70 m).
[20:13:40] Viveka (Themis Adasia) sucked air in sharply when he nibbled her ear. Goosebumps crawled down her neck and back. "It is frightening sometimes how much sway you have over me," she aid with a slight laugh in her tone. She'd nod to his last statement quite enthusiastically. "Truly, it is. You are less apt to be resisted if it is willing. I mean...I am fairly certain that holds true in pretty much every aspect of life." She'd turn so that her back was leaned against his chest and stare in the direction of the door. "Then again, there are also ones like the one I am trying to learn where it just covers an area." She'd lift her hands. A spiritual presence would be evident around her, at least to anyone sensitive enough to such things. The scars in the palms of each hand would open, though her eyes would remain the same. It was not a vision, just simply how her magic worked. With hands weaving, she began to make runes in the air, a faint light remaining behind for a split second as her fingers moved. When she whispered, it almost
[20:13:41] sounded as though another voice were whispering with her. [warning ward practice 1/2]
[20:13:51] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis): ((thatis the rub of it, I am not even certain what order Ishould post in))
[20:17:19] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) left chat range.
[20:19:25] Garrett (Arex Koltai) grinned slightly as he felt her skin crawl beneath his touch and her body's reaction to his teasing. A nod would accompany her statement concerning willing subjects of life in general, a small chuckle rising from his voice as he agreed. He'd grow quiet as she started working on her ward practice, letting his head lay against hers as she watched her try to work the magic. His fingers clasp around her waist, holding her against him as he awaited the results
[20:26:15] Viveka (Themis Adasia) was going to have to use Garrett as the guinea pig, so to speak, so her ward was going to warn against humans. Or at least that was the plan. She smiled and wiggled till she could not be any closer to him without wearing his skin, and that was just gross. Especially if it hasn't been putting the lotion on its skin. As her spell continued, a glowing rune would start to form on the door, at least for a moment till suddenly it crackled and failed, reversing on her. She jumped and yelped, holding onto her arm that was now red and tender to the touch. "Son of a...." she blurted out and then bit her lip, inhaling and holding it before finally letting it out in a pained groan. "Well that didn't go as planned," she'd grunt out, tears starting to form in her eyes from it. It certainly had smarted, though at least there didn't seem to be any real damage aside from red skin that was extremely warm to the touch. [warning ward attempt 2/3: failed!]
[20:26:38] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) entered chat range (19.71 m).
[20:30:24] Garrett (Arex Koltai) watched in quiet awe as the rune started to appear on the door, his eyebrows raising slightly as it seemed to be appearing from strands of air itself. But, as the magic started to crackle, he frowned in concern, about to voice such concerns when the spell failed and reversed upon her. His body naturally squeezed hard against her out of instinct, though he was mostly able to avoid panic. AS she let out a pained groan, he looked to her arm, following the hurt motions of her body, and a frown appeared on his head, his voice becoming softer as his voice carried clear worry, "Oh gods, are you alright?" He wouldn't try to touch her arm, since she seemed to be in pain, and the only thing he imagined that his touch could do was hurt her worse (or expose him to wild magic).
[20:33:00] / daval sees a woman dressed in peculiar fashion gesture, yet, He could not say what that gesture actually meant. He stomps his foot impatiently eyeing the building he wanted to explore. YEt....it would be rude to not respond. HE moves over to see what the woman wanted.
[20:33:09] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) left chat range.
[20:34:22] Viveka (Themis Adasia) was holding her breath, her face red, but she nodded her head and squeaked out a "Mmhmm." She was completely still for a moment longer before finally letting all the air rush out of her lungs, carefully pulling back the fabric from her arm. Everything was moving fine. It felt hot to the touch but to her it was freezing cold, almost numb now, but a sharp, tingling pain coursing through it. "I suppose better it come back on me than if I'd had someone walk through it and it did it to them," she said, trying to laugh it off, though it was honestly true. "I think...if this is what the warning i going to feel like, I'd rather be face to face with what was coming," she continued to joke, flexing her hand and shaking it as if to work out the pain of it.
2. Just a little too loud, kthnx!
[12:09:46] Viveka (Themis Adasia) had wondered exactly what had gone wrong the last time she'd attempted the warning ward spell. Perhaps she was too distracted. that was a distinct possibility. Though with her upbringing, the fact that she was sort of casting it due to selfish reasons nagged at her. She had to wonder if that was the cause of it, seeing as she was never able to forget anything ever thanks to her own greed, unbeknown to her when she'd done it at the time though. She double checked the scroll a time or two, though with the way her memory worked, there was no question of having read it wrong. She could pull it up in her mind at will. But...just in case
[12:19:02] Viveka (Themis Adasia) finally she lifted a hand, the scars on her palms opened to reveal the ethereal eyes which fixated on the hallway leading further into the opium den. She allowed the magic to flow through her, reminding herself it was not solely her greed to wish to use such things, that she needed to protect others as well. She'd offered the opium den as a safe haven if they needed it, and she fully intended to keep a constant ward on the entrance to alert her to any shifters at all that entered into the establishment. There were some that she knew was okay, but to be on the safe side, she knew she had to single them all out to be on the safe side. The insanity of the Singarti had gone on lone enough and she was not going to risk her workers or clients to their brutal tactics, especially the ones who held no alliance to the Vale or the Rusalka but could still be slaughtered on principle. [warning ward 1/3]
[12:22:49] Viveka (Themis Adasia) focusing further, her fingers began to make swirls in the air, symbols, similar to ones that were on her body, both tattooed and scared on her face. They meant various things, one of which meant orc. Feint glowing lines trailed her fingers as they moved, and both sets of eyes seemed to take on a glow. There was a distinct spiritual presence about her, enveloping her. She was well focused, not even noting Djali sneaking apples from the stash behind the desk while she wasn't looking. Not as though it mattered. Garrett had been bringing all sorts to the goat lately. He was going to get too fat for his little legs to carry him at that rate but....it kept Garrett on his good side and stopped Djali from trying to head butt him in the crotch. Again. [warning ward 2/3]
[12:27:58] Viveka (Themis Adasia) made wider arcs with her fingers, the whisper on her tongue rolling out a little louder now. Glowing lines that had begun to make a pattern on the floor started to take larger shape and a more distinct image. A symbol for orc would be seen while the rune was visible, as well as her name in a mostly forgotten form of writing, or at least around here it seemed to be mostly forgotten. Finally, the pattern completed, the ward created, and the glow faded abruptly, her scars on her palms closing back up and the spiritual presence fading from her. She got up and moved closer to where it had been, investigating the area. She felt its presence. A slight spiritual sensation where the glowing lines had been before. [warning ward 3/3]
[12:31:42] Viveka (Themis Adasia) called out to Kormik, beckoning him to pull himself from guarding the springs and spying on those who were in there. He lumbered with heavy steps down the hall, looking quite disgruntled, which must have meant there was an elf girl in the springs right now. He had a fondness for elves, which is probably why he had offered to work for so cheap. She asked him to up to her, right on top of where the ward had been, assuring him that it would not harm him, he would not even realize he had stepped onto anything at all. When he did, screeching of spirits burst into her mind, quite a bit louder than she'd imagined for it to be. Perhaps she'd put too much focus into it, making it seem more dire than it truly was. But, hey, at least it worked!
3. A Boot to the Face Makes the Fae go away
[21:11:58] Viveka (Themis Adasia) shrugged and took one of the bottles for herself. A different one than the rest. She took a drink of it and was not at all dissatisfied with it. She knew to expect something, since it was likely something Cedar had come up with and she knew fae well enough to know it would have an effect of some sort. Though she began to feel rather uncomfortable, an annoyed look spreading across her face. "Well," she started saying as she began to pry the bracers off of her arms, "It is a good thing I am not afraid to beat you into learning," she tried to joke, but it wasn't coming across too much like a joke. She threw both bracers to the floor and started working on the bits around her neck and shoulders. Selune would back off quickly when Aradhelon would shriek, also because she felt the zap as well. That was odd. She'd move her way around to Viveka and randomly reach out to touch her upper arm, and ZAP! Viveka shouted a dozen different profanities in three different languages, batting the woman's hand away, [21:11:58] apologizing after she did so but it seemed that anything touching her was grating on her, and that zap had only been a dozen times worse because of it. [21:12:25] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((actually that wasn't so bad of a fail...it ends in humor)) [21:13:47] ObiOneAnd42nd (gadget.cyberstar): ((you rolled a 20 right? That just means you're a better fighter for a bit...)) [21:13:55] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((i didn't do lady luck hon)) [21:14:07] ObiOneAnd42nd (gadget.cyberstar): ((oooh)) [21:15:15] Na Ze (EzeSummonitor Resident) Returns from her confused darting of eyes from one situation to the next trying to take it all in and decides when the woman shoves Aradhelon's face into her breasts that is enough is enough. She leaps at the whore as though she is going to attach herself to the whore's back and strangle her if she can. Aradhelon shoves the whore though and as such, Na Ze mostly just ends up flailing about looking ridiculous while shouting "Fear not my well dressed companion, I shall salve your honor for you no matter what the cost!" She stops then, in mid step and seems to consider for a split second before adding on "Unless of course the cost is such that it would be better if I chose to do otherwise in which case I am sure you will understand that we all have choices to make in these matters!" With this, she targets the harlot again, going after her with hands outstretched as though she is going to claw at her if they connect. Despite having excellent reflexes though she instead ends up tripping over Gerald who [21:15:15] she did not notice sitting on the floor and goes to the ground with a screech, landing on her perfectly coiffed ass. The harlot never even knows exactly what was happening as they move off towards Viveka and get zapped by her. [21:26:50] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) was just sitting there, kind of chilling out, trying to ignore the chaos of screeching and harlots swinging their tits around like they're those knockers you get at Chuck E CHeese for about 200 tickets... and now the harlot is zapping people... yes, he was trying to ignore it... but then the chaos tripped over him and faceplanted. Looking over to Na Ze, he would say "Mind the lug." (hehe... get it?) before reaching over to try and help her up. He would then take another gulp of the drink... it wasn't bad, actually. Though it did kind of... tingle at him a little, kind of like... oh no... quickly, he would set the bottle down, realizing he's drinking hoodoo. LIQUIFIED HOODOO just lying around in a cabinet! A cabinet in HIS tavern! Sadly, the effects have already begun. But what are they? *game show host voice* LLLLLET'S FIND OUT! [21:27:15] Gerald Baker rolls R0 (IoV:#6bac#): 13 - Big money, big money, big money, STOP! [21:27:40] ObiOneAnd42nd (gadget.cyberstar): ((Congratulations. You all get to hear Gerald making uncomfortable noises with his mouth while he tries to talk.)) [21:28:35] Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora) straightened out, touching his cheek that was his mask as if it was sore from something. "What horrors! I knew a harlot's touch would harm me! Tis' their unholy nature!" He commented. Oh, the Irony! But his attention was brought to the wild shouting and tripping of the butterfly-decorated lovely Na Ze, which brought his hand to his chest and made his eyes twinkle as if he were a damsel who had just been saved by a handsome knight. Rushing over to her side, he bent to one knee and gracefully extended his hand to her, offering to lift her up while his other remained romantically placed on the surface of his chest. "Why, your bravery agaihnst the horrors that plague me... You bring me much comfort knowing I have a friend to trust!" He announced, his gold eyes glittering with joy as he remained there, in this dramatic pose, while Viveka appeared to be starting to strip her gear, Selune was swatted at and zapping people, and Gerald drank away at the liquid hoodoo. Quite the party. [21:29:58] Valkyrie Asta Munthe (asha.silvershade) is offline. [21:33:00] Valkyrie Asta Munthe (asha.silvershade) is online. [21:35:29] Na Ze (EzeSummonitor Resident) She extends one petite, perfectly manicured hand to accept the offer of her fellow over-dramatic rescuer since Gerald had initially offered and then started getting concerned about what he was drinking. As her hand touches Aradhelon's she gasps, her eyes flying wide open in distress and shock. She lets him raise her to her rather insignificant height and puts one hand up near his masked face for him to see the horror that leaves her nearly speechless. "I....I....I broke a nail..." Her face is a crumpled mass of despair and her eyes begin to water....yes....she is actually going to cry over her broken nail. "It's....it's....IT'S BROKEN!" Her voice raises in a distressed wail as she grabs onto Arad for support during these troublesome times. "I must have it fixed! it was even painted green and IT MATCHED!!" She does not notice the woman stripping herself of her gear nor the harlot getting zapped although her eyes do flit momentarily to Gerald as he starts to act....oddly. [21:35:44] Na Ze (ezesummonitor): ((oops!!)) [21:38:30] IoV Dice HUD v0.7beta: Textbox timed out. [21:38:49] Viveka rolls R0 (IoV:#ae12#): 14 - 1-7 Gerald, 8-14 Arad, 15-20 Na ze [21:38:58] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((poor arad)) [21:39:12] Viveka (Themis Adasia) always seemed to have the most interesting parties here, that was for certain. Selune was busy literally chasing Viveka around, finding great humor in torturing her boss even though she knew the hell she may pay for it later. Viveka was hopping around on one foot, trying to get one boot off, which she promptly threw at Selune and then the other which....it landed somewhere. She was still spouting out swears in some other language, and possibly some she was making up on the spot. What ever it was flowed off her tongue more naturally than common did, clearly her natural dialect, and no, not Elven. The rest, she had no idea what was going on, nor did Selune who was far too much enjoying chasing Viveka about still till suddenly Viveka stopped with a hand pointed palm forwards towards Selune. That made the fae harlot stop in her tracks and almost look scared. She knew what lay in that palm. But it was too late. Viveka was already casting, the distinct sense of magic in the air, though the back of her hand
[21:39:12] would be to the others, so no one else would see the scar in the palm of her hand splitting open to reveal her ethereal eye, and the other hand was conveniently turned to not be noticed either. Wind that came from nowhere brushed at Viveka's hair, lightly tousling it. ((Blind 1/1)) As suddenly as the eye had opened, it closed up again, and Selune wailed because she suddenly could not see, waving her arms about, finding that random boot that Viveka tossed aside, tripping over it and stumbling right towards Arad and quite likely falling into him, maybe even zapping him again.[21:39:16] Alleo (alecksin.avora): (( what  )) [21:48:40] Gerald Baker (gadget Cyberstar) gulps softly and stares at the bottle, having his own mini meltdown along with all the chaos going about... the theatrics next to him, followed by the screams of broken nails, Viveka being chased around by one of her concubines, and now spells being cast to blind people, blinded people falling into other people... and suddenly he blurts out, no... SINGS out, his voice a resonating base that travels about the room like thunder rumbling over distant hills ♫♪"I DONE drank hoodoooo!"♪♫ he pauses at this, gulps again, and sings out like he's singing the gospel ♫♪"What is this fresh hell I've fallen intoOoOo?!"♪♫ [21:49:40] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((omg i love you gerald! THIS is why you're the main character!)) [21:49:56] Aradhelon Malethlhl Mont-d'Or (Alecksin Avora) seemed to blink with concern as he helped her stand, watching as she extended her hand for him to look at, and then too let out a gasp. As she gripped onto him for support, he wrapped his arms about to hold her in a comforting embrace, making soft shushing noises. "There there, pet. All will be well! You ahre still radiant as ever, like the sun on a summers day, or the moon on a wintry night...." He tried to assure her. "We will have it fixed, without a doub--Aiiieeeee!" He ssuddenly shrieked, his back arching as he felt Selune fall into his back, the zap coursing through his body and spine. "Grr-grrr... That... Wohman..." He almost hissed, one of his eyes twitching as his teeth clenched, instinctively wrapping Na Ze into more of a glomp from the spazzing muscles. Then, a beautiful sound could be heard, making him squeak with shock. "G-Gerald-dear!? Is th-that y-you?" He croaked. [21:50:11] Alleo (alecksin.avora): (( It's true, Gerald is the main character )) [21:58:52] Valkyrie Asta Munthe (asha.silvershade) is offline. [22:01:01] Viveka (Themis Adasia) let out a huff and started picking her things up to carry with her. Gerald's singing was the last straw for her. She was a musician, after all, and his singing just didn't do it for her. Made her want to weep. "Gerald, we will start with your lessons soon," she proclaimed, trying to calm herself down Selune would start to get up, actually apologizing to Arad for once, and Viveka to her as well, and her to Viveka and all sorts of apologies. "Aradhelon, it was good to see that you still live." Then she'd look to Na Ze with a pleasant smile, all things considered. "It was a pleasure to meet you, but I am going home where I can strip in peace and not have people trying to torture me with their touches!" Other than Garrett when he figured out where she went at least...and he'd probably get yelled at in a few languages as well. As she started to storm down the hall, she called over her shoulder, "Have Y'Vette give you some coin for those! I will be happy to pawn them off on unsuspecting, inebriated patrons!" [22:01:01] And then out she went, finding her way to the peace of her home.
4. Don't touch me! I'm warning you!
[23:23:47] Viveka (Themis Adasia) laughed and leaned forward to kiss his forehead. "Don't worry...I already proclaimed that Cedar and Cailean did it the proper way. Drunk, in a tavern, guilting your friend into performing it for you with minimal, if anyone there at all. Aradhelon is....flashy. And apparently that girl is as well. They jumped to conclusions as it was just seeing us together. If that day ever comes...I do not wish for anything like what either of them think it should be. Not by a long shot. I do not like to be such a focus of things." She would kiss his forehead again and back up. "now, if you do not mind, I since I cannot properly enjoy you in the way I was hoping to be able to tonight, would you mind being my test for my spell? I got closer last time. No one was harmed, just the warning came out a little loud."
[23:29:02] Garrett (Arex Koltai) wanted to reach out and touch her, but damn this fae magic! He nodded quietly as she explained how she felt on the subject and chuckled lightly, "Id like to think that I don't need to be intoxicated to emphasize my love for you..." He winked at her before nodding again as she explained how Aradhelon and the woman were jumping to conclusions, "A process I'm sure they are both interminably familiar with..." At her second kiss, he'd lean in a little to meet her lips, before perking a brow at her question and considering the opportunity. He didn't seem terribly enthusiastic, given what had happened previously, but after a moment or two nodded towards her and flashed her an encouraging smile, "Of course..."
[23:31:47] Λɓγรรµร (takaki.rejkus) is offline.
[23:34:54] Viveka (Themis Adasia) would have been okay if he had done so...just...carefully. Then again he wore rougher materials than she did...maybe she wouldn't have been so keen on it. "Aradhelon is....interesting..." she went on to say, as if that was enough of an explanation. "And no, I would like to think neither of us woudl but...neither of us can deny our love of rum either..." She noted the hesitation and one last time, briefly pressed her lips against his and stood back upright, moving to give her more space and a better view of where she wished to place the ward. "Don't worry.. It did not hurt my guard when I set it to warn me of orcs. You will not get jolted. I figured out where I went wrong, I believe." Or in her mind she did. Whatever the case, it worked better the second time. Her arms lifted, the scars in the palm of each hand opening up and the spiritual presence surrounding her. Her whispers echoed about her as she began her cast and feint trails of light followed her finger tips as she seemingly drew in the air,
[23:34:54] leaving runes behind that quickly faded from view. [warning ward 1/3]
[23:39:17] Garrett (Arex Koltai) was not going to die with one nights lack of her touch...though he would do so only under protest! And, as before, Cedar would recieve another black mark for him for denying the opportunity to caress the woman he loved. As she mentioned their mutual love of rum, he grinned brightly and shook his head, "It is the gods gift to people across the planes..." He watched as she stood upwright and stepped around to get into position, nodding slightly as she tried to assuage his concern by explaining how her guard hadn't been turned inside-out. It wasn't so much that he was concerned about himself...but the previous time she'd tried, she'd had a numb arm for the better part of the day. But...she wouldn't learn anything if she didn't try...and he was mostly certain that he was relatively safe. Mostly.
[23:40:36] Bovis Dreddmor is online.
[23:41:00] Valkyrie Asta Munthe (asha.silvershade) is offline.
[23:45:54] Viveka (Themis Adasia) continued on, focused on her purpose, though this was not so much about protection, but the intent to learn to protect others, and not solely for selfish purposes, which is where she'd felt she'd gone wrong the first time. A pattern began to form on the ground, the rune for 'human' if one looked close enough was present. A ward to warn of humans crossing it. Though a small area so it was not as though it would bother her for the entire night. Not as though she was like to sleep at any rate. The echoed voice grew louder, though her s remained a whisper, perhaps rather eerie sounding, and wind that seemed to only effect her pushed lightly at her hair. She would have laughed and nodded in agreement to his comment that rum was of the gods, a sentiment she often vocally expressed.
[23:46:05] Viveka (themis.adasia): [warning ward 2/3]
[23:48:37] Garrett (Arex Koltai) frowned in quiet contemplation as her voice rose in volume, filling the air around them, and runes appearing on the ground to match her tones. It was fascinating to watch, despite his lack of personal ability. In fact, maybe it made it all the more interesting, since it was so fundamentally alien to him. He did tense, though, in anticipation of thhe conclusion of the spell. It wasn't that he didn't trust that she didn't want to hurt him, it was that he knew how badly magic could turn on a caster or their surroundings when things went wrong. Still, he remained in place, content to see the results of her efforts
[23:52:06] Viveka (Themis Adasia) closed her eyes as the symbols and runes began to complete on the ground, her name in another language written as the sole person to be warned, completing the pattern and glowing brighter for a mere moment before fading away completely, only a trace of magic remaining where it had once glowed. The eyes in her palms sealed once again and Viveka took a moment to say one last 'please work' in her mind. She opened her eyes again and looked to Garrett, gesturing to him to step into where the pattern had just been moments before. [warning ward 3/3]
[23:54:01] Garrett (Arex Koltai) couldn't help but wince a little as the casting slowly came to a close, though he didn't -feel- any different from when she'd stated casting the spell. He lower his guard a bit and take a look at the rune on the ground before she finally opened her eyes and motioned for him to step forward. He'd slowly push himself from the bed and post up next to the rune, carefully stepping over it with a slow, deep breath and a mental preperation for something unexpected.
[23:55:59] Alleo (alecksin.avora) is offline.
[23:58:10] Viveka (Themis Adasia) could not help but laugh at his hesitation. Not that she blamed him. She had gone arm numb for a while....longer than she admitted to but...all was well now and she'd figured out the problem at any rate. Sometimes it took that pain to remind a person of things they should not do. When he stepped into it, she heard the whispers of the spirits telling her that a human had walked within the rune. Her eyes closed as she listened to them, a smile spreading across her face. "It worked," she said softly. "And they are not so overbearing this time...." She forgot for a moment the issue she was having, grinning and clapping, bouncing about till she hopped her way over to him and threw her arms around him to kiss him, only too quickly to remembered why she was standing there naked in the first place...but not frankly caring right now. It was one step closer to protecting others. "Next one, armor or healing!"
[23:59:51] Alleo (alecksin.avora) is online.
[00:01:33] Garrett (Arex Koltai) stepped firmly onto the rune and instinctively closed his eyes, only opening them when it appeared that the world was ending. He finally began to relax, more so when he saw Viveka smiling to the apparent success of her task! He'd, without thinking, return her kiss and try to embrace her, only realizing after he'd tried to hug her tightly that he'd gone and potentially made her very uncomfortable. But her enthusiasm was infectious! As she queried what she should learn next he thougth for a moment before motioning to her, "Armor is helpful...but healing can bring a person back from the brink..."
[00:07:38] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): *world wasn't ending
[00:07:43] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): ((god dammit, XD))
[00:08:51] Viveka (Themis Adasia) really didn't care at this point. Discomfort was worth it in this case. She hadn't accidentally made him brain dead or something. She nodded her head that both were useful, but she was fairly certain she had a better chance of finding a teacher to teach her to cure wounds over create armor. "I think I will learn to heal first...as close as it comes to breaking my code. It is not resurrecting so I believe I could be forgiven for changing one's fate just a little." Her damn code was so sticky sometimes, she could never quite find that thin line.

Divination: Warning Ward 2 weeks; 2-3 rp/week Estimated completion: 11/12
1. Receiving the book
[2015/10/31 12:46:01] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me was comforted by her words, even as they elicited a small chuckle from his lips at her assurance that he wasn't something she was quiet discarding yet. He nodded again and then drew his lips into a small, pained smirk, "I am glad, though, that you are taking precautions. Hopefully they will not be necessary..."
[2015/10/31 12:53:43] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me let her own face fall when he seemed glad that she were taking precautions. It made her own memories flash through her mind. Ones she didn't like and ones she wished she were even capable of getting rid of. "Have enough attempts on your life by the person that brought you into this world and you'd take a lot of precautions as well," she said softly, but smiling up at him afterwards, even if it was a weak smile, an indication that she'd like to change the subject. "It will come in handy regardless. Full moons, I can put a ward up farther outside the entrance to warn of Garou approaching. The doors are reinforced already but it is nice to have extra time to prepare if they should get in.
[2015/10/31 12:54:22] Merialeth Windstar: entered chat range (17.80 m).
[2015/10/31 12:57:18] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me had been up on the roof, her Song still loud in her ears, the casting of the ward over the roof to serve as a magical shield from the elements without halting her flights had brought a hint of pinkness to her cheeks, and she looked both exhilarated and tired at the same time, but when Damien told her of visitors she came down as quickly as she could. "Good morning to you both, how are you?"
[2015/10/31 12:57:52] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me let the smile disappear from his own face, now convinced he'd only dredged up painful memories for her, despite him wanting to try and keep a positive mood about them. He'd walk in silence until she mentioned that the ward could come in handy in other ways too, and he nodded firmly, "Aye, that...would indeed be very helpful..." He was going to have to mention the idea of a similar ward to Dae, though it would probably be difficult to find a ward that wouldn't go off to *some* Warden or another. He folded his hands together and smile towards her, "It could also be possible to tip barbs on the night of the full moon with some silver. It wouldn't do much damage, honestly, but it could probably dissuade further actions ont he door that night..." He'd turn his head towards Meri as she made her way into the room and offered her a small smile, "Fine, and yourself?"
[2015/10/31 13:06:43] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me wrinkled her nose up at the mention of barbs. Even if it could be a necessary evil. She just didn't much care for violence if she could avoid it. Then again, if one got through the doors....violence would happen. "I think that is something I'd rather concern myself with if they ever did try to come through the doors. For now, I'll be happy with having ample warning." When Meri showed up, she'd smile and bow her head to the avariel. "I do believe the sun has passed its peek but for those of us who do not always wake up in time to see it on it's climb, good morning to you as well!" she'd tease with laughter in her voice, clearly not too bothered by the memories that had played through her mind just minutes before. "I was hoping to find a book or a scroll for a warning ward. Or perhaps someone that can teach it to me if you know anyone that knows it already."
[2015/10/31 13:12:31] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me wiggled her fingers back and forth, her wings pulled tight to her shoulders, "Doing well enough. The Tower is slowly coming together, and it's nice to have something to focus on... " she'd trail off and blink a bit, glancing outside and back at Viveka with a purr of merry laughter "So it has... the time has flown by it seems... my apologies. And yes... indeed - I have the scroll for that... bear with me a moment..." Her soft hum on her breath as she padded around the counter, the lilt on her breath as she watched for the scrolls to light up. Hopping up on her toes to reach the one near the top, Meri'd tug it down eventually and headed back over to them "Here you are... sadly it's not one I know, or I'd happily give you lessons..." A moment's ause and furrow of her brow as she tried to remember who -might-...
[2015/10/31 13:13:23] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): pause and furrow* LOL)
[2015/10/31 13:15:25] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me nodded to Viveka's interest in simply warning herself. Garrett was, however, more familiar with practical applications of measured violence, so deterrents like that were more familiar to him. Of course, it was the type of deterrent that would leave scars more than true lasting injuries, but he'd already darkened Viveka's mood as it was, and he wasn't about to keep dragging her mind through darkness if he could help it. He steeped to the side to let the women speak, folding his hands behind himself as he watched in interest
[2015/10/31 13:19:13] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me blinked and watched as Garrett moved away from them, but it changed to a smile and a snort of laughter. "Such a brooding one aren't you? All alone over there an watching and learning," she jested and turned her attention back to Meri. She'd take the scroll happily and immediately put it in her bag so she didn't wander off without it. Just because she couldn't forget things didn't mean she wasn't apt to sit something down and walk off without it! "It is fine. I learn relatively fast. Faster if I can see it done but...fast enough anyway. What do I owe you for it?"
[2015/10/31 13:21:55] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me finally shook her head, "I thought I might, but... Twenty copper for that one please... " It was one of the easier ones, and one Meri should likely pick up somewhere along the way herself but - so many spells, so little time. She'd dash a look over at Garrett and chuckle good-naturedly "I know you're not scared of me... no reason to hide off in the corner..." Not like anyone ever was, but eh... That was alright, Meri didn't mind.

[2015/10/31 13:25:48] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me offered a small smile towards the two women as they teased him for him stand-offish action. He shrugged slightly and looked to Viveka, "I was under the impression women fawned over brooding, unpleasant men..." He gave her a wink before looking back to Meri and responded in a bright tone, "I've known so many people to be bothered by the exact opposite issue..."
[2015/10/31 13:31:38] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me laughed and shook her head. "Perhaps some, but you forget where I work, dove. And what I have spent most of my life doing and the places I've worked in. I see dark and brooding and mysterious too much to know that the ones that try to be that way are far more predicable than those that do not. Now, those who enjoy playful banter with near perfect strangers, and then follow them without fear of trickery....that I am more okay with." She would open up a pouch on her belt and fish out the coin, and extra because she certainly believed in paying more and tipping well. Others doing it for her is how she kept food in her belly for years! Time to repay that sine she could. She'd laugh at Meri's comment to Garrett and handed the coins over, but even after Meri would take the coins, her hand would stay, palm up, the 'scar' showing. "If you want people to scare you - be cursed as I am then show off your curse. That makes some run really fast. Or try to cut your hands off .Either way. They fear you!" She was
[2015/10/31 13:31:38] /me certainly more lighthearted talking about it this time than she had about her mother's fear for her. She could joke about it!
[2015/10/31 13:39:04] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me wrinkled her nose "Brooding men? No, I think I've have had my share of people like that in my life... I much prefer ones a bit more... open." She'd offer a good-natured smile to Garrett though before nodding to what Viveka said. Offering a dip of her head as she picked out the coins needed, leaving the others behind and then letting her arms clasp lightly about her waist. The 'scar' in Viv's hand met with a tip of her head, and careful perusal... This being a trick Meri'd not seen before, but too polite to poke at it, she'd return her gaze upwards and murmur "Dare I ask?" She didn't seem disturbed, just ... to polite to risk offense.

[2015/10/31 13:41:52] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((afk like...five minutes after my next post. need a quick shower. gotta get ready to head over to mom and dad's to hand out candy))
[2015/10/31 13:42:42] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me nearly beamed at Viveka's response, finding it enjoyable to have at least one person in the world that seemed to find those people annoying as hell. Of course, he wasn't much for expecting Meri to find their company very palatable either. He chuckled slightly as she mentioned fear of trickery and he shrugged again, "Always seems to surprise too many people how much work you can get done *if* you don't act in a manner consistent with a complete twat..." He looked back to Meri as she asked her question and then back to Viveka's palm, awaiting her response.
[2015/10/31 13:47:47] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me glanced back to Garrett as if asking 'should I'? Meri knew what she was, just not the full details. She'd grin almost. "I want to hear what the look on her face is like," she said and turned back around, holding the other hand with a matching scar out. "You know I am seer. My abilities are amplified thanks to a curse of sorts. Or gift, depending on how you may view it. Apparently my grandmother cursed my mom years ago, before I was born even. My mother hated the woman. I can understand why if you have no sense of humor. She promised that she would come back with her first child. She...sort of did. Her soul is bound to me....of sorts." She closed her eyes and any spiritually sensitive would feel the presence of a spirit surrounding her, or perhaps within her. When they opened again, her eyes were solid white and the scars on the palm of each hand opened up to reveal an eye in each. Doing that in a magic shop may not have been the wisest choice. Her grandmother's curiosity pulled through far easier and at
[2015/10/31 13:47:48] /me first, Vik struggled to keep her arms where she wished them to be more than she had when she'd showed Garrett. After wrangling them in, she let out a huff.
[2015/10/31 13:48:14] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((afk now, hopefully not too long))
[2015/10/31 13:48:29] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): ((no worries.))

[2015/10/31 13:56:14] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): ((w00t,  ))
[2015/10/31 13:57:46] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): /me sort of choked at his turn of phrase, her eyes widening and blinking a couple times then flicked her attention back to Viveka, blushing at the comment. Her head tilted, nodding slowly at the description and story... Though she couldn't feel the spirit around her under her own power, there were a couple things in the shop that seemed to brighten up or make their presence known as Viveka's expression changed, and the eyes were revealed. Meri'd blink another time or two, her gaze darting between Viveka's face, and her hands, a careful glance and leaning forward to study the eyes in her hands with no small amount of interest, though the expression on her own face might be a bit stuck between intrigue and concern and amazement. Her brows furrowed again, then stood up straight again with a small dip of her head. "I can see how it would go both ways... and can imagine it's not an easy trial to bear. Thank you for showing me..."
[2015/10/31 13:58:47] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): ((must be the cats...))
[2015/10/31 14:00:00] Garrett (Arex Koltai): /me turned his head towards Viveka, reaching out to run his hand along her back as she prepared to do her spirit-seer thing. He was more prepared this time than he was the previous interaction, so when Viveka's eyes went white and the eyes appeared in her hands, it was considerably less shocking. Seeing Meri's response, though, once again made hims sheepish. He'd seen quite a few odd things in his life, but never quite what Viveka had showed him, so his had been a bit more frightful.
[2015/10/31 14:00:14] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): *his reaction had been
[2015/10/31 14:05:26] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((effin mina))
[2015/10/31 14:06:00] Merialeth Windstar (caireannliadan): ((hehe))
[2015/10/31 14:09:45] Viveka (Themis Adasia): /me was perfectly still when Meri was inspecting the eyes. In fact, they zeroed in on her. They wanted to know more, to read more. They found themselves being highly intrigued by her, or something about her. But Vik wasn't seeing anything. She was keeping tight reins on them once she'd managed to subdue them. Once Meri had finished inspecting, she'd close her eyes again, and the ones on her hands would seal once again. She looked a little more tired this time than she had when she'd shown Garrett. There had been more of an internal struggle than there had in the den. The eyes were use to the den. Not the shop and not Meri either. "Some days," she admitted when she opened her eyes again. "But I suppose in some weird way, I'm never alone," she shrugged. "I probably should be going now though. Thank you for the scroll, and the chat." ((and i need to head out now! i'll have the phone with me for skypings though!))
[2015/10/31 14:09:56] Viveka (themis.adasia): ((harts and stuff! i'll be back in world after trick or treating is done))
2. I Don't like this kind of warning!
[20:02:46] Garrett (Arex Koltai) did seem to appreciate her statements, his head rubbing against hers a bit as she spoke and his hands gripped hers again. He smiled slightly as she explained that it was her particular circumstances that helped wall her mind against such magic, a reminded that she'd mentioned as much before, though it had been when he was still dealing with the migraine caused by Elka's magic. He chuckled again, but clearly in a positive light as she mentioned it was yet another reason to keep her around, his head looking to nibble playfully at her ear, "I only need one..." But still, it was true! He nodded slightly and let her ear go from his nibblage as she mentioned how she preferred defense over offense, if only to avoid disturbing balance in the universe. He nodded again and smile, "And, for that matter, I'm sure it's easier to cast upon a willing target..."
[20:10:41] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) entered chat range (17.70 m).
[20:13:40] Viveka (Themis Adasia) sucked air in sharply when he nibbled her ear. Goosebumps crawled down her neck and back. "It is frightening sometimes how much sway you have over me," she aid with a slight laugh in her tone. She'd nod to his last statement quite enthusiastically. "Truly, it is. You are less apt to be resisted if it is willing. I mean...I am fairly certain that holds true in pretty much every aspect of life." She'd turn so that her back was leaned against his chest and stare in the direction of the door. "Then again, there are also ones like the one I am trying to learn where it just covers an area." She'd lift her hands. A spiritual presence would be evident around her, at least to anyone sensitive enough to such things. The scars in the palms of each hand would open, though her eyes would remain the same. It was not a vision, just simply how her magic worked. With hands weaving, she began to make runes in the air, a faint light remaining behind for a split second as her fingers moved. When she whispered, it almost
[20:13:41] sounded as though another voice were whispering with her. [warning ward practice 1/2]
[20:13:51] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis): ((thatis the rub of it, I am not even certain what order Ishould post in))
[20:17:19] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) left chat range.
[20:19:25] Garrett (Arex Koltai) grinned slightly as he felt her skin crawl beneath his touch and her body's reaction to his teasing. A nod would accompany her statement concerning willing subjects of life in general, a small chuckle rising from his voice as he agreed. He'd grow quiet as she started working on her ward practice, letting his head lay against hers as she watched her try to work the magic. His fingers clasp around her waist, holding her against him as he awaited the results
[20:26:15] Viveka (Themis Adasia) was going to have to use Garrett as the guinea pig, so to speak, so her ward was going to warn against humans. Or at least that was the plan. She smiled and wiggled till she could not be any closer to him without wearing his skin, and that was just gross. Especially if it hasn't been putting the lotion on its skin. As her spell continued, a glowing rune would start to form on the door, at least for a moment till suddenly it crackled and failed, reversing on her. She jumped and yelped, holding onto her arm that was now red and tender to the touch. "Son of a...." she blurted out and then bit her lip, inhaling and holding it before finally letting it out in a pained groan. "Well that didn't go as planned," she'd grunt out, tears starting to form in her eyes from it. It certainly had smarted, though at least there didn't seem to be any real damage aside from red skin that was extremely warm to the touch. [warning ward attempt 2/3: failed!]
[20:26:38] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) entered chat range (19.71 m).
[20:30:24] Garrett (Arex Koltai) watched in quiet awe as the rune started to appear on the door, his eyebrows raising slightly as it seemed to be appearing from strands of air itself. But, as the magic started to crackle, he frowned in concern, about to voice such concerns when the spell failed and reversed upon her. His body naturally squeezed hard against her out of instinct, though he was mostly able to avoid panic. AS she let out a pained groan, he looked to her arm, following the hurt motions of her body, and a frown appeared on his head, his voice becoming softer as his voice carried clear worry, "Oh gods, are you alright?" He wouldn't try to touch her arm, since she seemed to be in pain, and the only thing he imagined that his touch could do was hurt her worse (or expose him to wild magic).
[20:33:00] / daval sees a woman dressed in peculiar fashion gesture, yet, He could not say what that gesture actually meant. He stomps his foot impatiently eyeing the building he wanted to explore. YEt....it would be rude to not respond. HE moves over to see what the woman wanted.
[20:33:09] Daval (davalkatro.alucinakis) left chat range.
[20:34:22] Viveka (Themis Adasia) was holding her breath, her face red, but she nodded her head and squeaked out a "Mmhmm." She was completely still for a moment longer before finally letting all the air rush out of her lungs, carefully pulling back the fabric from her arm. Everything was moving fine. It felt hot to the touch but to her it was freezing cold, almost numb now, but a sharp, tingling pain coursing through it. "I suppose better it come back on me than if I'd had someone walk through it and it did it to them," she said, trying to laugh it off, though it was honestly true. "I think...if this is what the warning i going to feel like, I'd rather be face to face with what was coming," she continued to joke, flexing her hand and shaking it as if to work out the pain of it.
3.Just a little too loud, kthnx!
[12:09:46] Viveka (Themis Adasia) had wondered exactly what had gone wrong the last time she'd attempted the warning ward spell. Perhaps she was too distracted. that was a distinct possibility. Though with her upbringing, the fact that she was sort of casting it due to selfish reasons nagged at her. She had to wonder if that was the cause of it, seeing as she was never able to forget anything ever thanks to her own greed, unbeknown to her when she'd done it at the time though. She double checked the scroll a time or two, though with the way her memory worked, there was no question of having read it wrong. She could pull it up in her mind at will. But...just in case
[12:19:02] Viveka (Themis Adasia) finally she lifted a hand, the scars on her palms opened to reveal the ethereal eyes which fixated on the hallway leading further into the opium den. She allowed the magic to flow through her, reminding herself it was not solely her greed to wish to use such things, that she needed to protect others as well. She'd offered the opium den as a safe haven if they needed it, and she fully intended to keep a constant ward on the entrance to alert her to any shifters at all that entered into the establishment. There were some that she knew was okay, but to be on the safe side, she knew she had to single them all out to be on the safe side. The insanity of the Singarti had gone on lone enough and she was not going to risk her workers or clients to their brutal tactics, especially the ones who held no alliance to the Vale or the Rusalka but could still be slaughtered on principle. [warning ward 1/3]
[12:22:49] Viveka (Themis Adasia) focusing further, her fingers began to make swirls in the air, symbols, similar to ones that were on her body, both tattooed and scared on her face. They meant various things, one of which meant orc. Feint glowing lines trailed her fingers as they moved, and both sets of eyes seemed to take on a glow. There was a distinct spiritual presence about her, enveloping her. She was well focused, not even noting Djali sneaking apples from the stash behind the desk while she wasn't looking. Not as though it mattered. Garrett had been bringing all sorts to the goat lately. He was going to get too fat for his little legs to carry him at that rate but....it kept Garrett on his good side and stopped Djali from trying to head butt him in the crotch. Again. [warning ward 2/3]
[12:27:58] Viveka (Themis Adasia) made wider arcs with her fingers, the whisper on her tongue rolling out a little louder now. Glowing lines that had begun to make a pattern on the floor started to take larger shape and a more distinct image. A symbol for orc would be seen while the rune was visible, as well as her name in a mostly forgotten form of writing, or at least around here it seemed to be mostly forgotten. Finally, the pattern completed, the ward created, and the glow faded abruptly, her scars on her palms closing back up and the spiritual presence fading from her. She got up and moved closer to where it had been, investigating the area. She felt its presence. A slight spiritual sensation where the glowing lines had been before. [warning ward 3/3]
[12:31:42] Viveka (Themis Adasia) called out to Kormik, beckoning him to pull himself from guarding the springs and spying on those who were in there. He lumbered with heavy steps down the hall, looking quite disgruntled, which must have meant there was an elf girl in the springs right now. He had a fondness for elves, which is probably why he had offered to work for so cheap. She asked him to up to her, right on top of where the ward had been, assuring him that it would not harm him, he would not even realize he had stepped onto anything at all. When he did, screeching of spirits burst into her mind, quite a bit louder than she'd imagined for it to be. Perhaps she'd put too much focus into it, making it seem more dire than it truly was. But, hey, at least it worked!
4. Don't touch me! I'm warning you!
[23:23:47] Viveka (Themis Adasia) laughed and leaned forward to kiss his forehead. "Don't worry...I already proclaimed that Cedar and Cailean did it the proper way. Drunk, in a tavern, guilting your friend into performing it for you with minimal, if anyone there at all. Aradhelon is....flashy. And apparently that girl is as well. They jumped to conclusions as it was just seeing us together. If that day ever comes...I do not wish for anything like what either of them think it should be. Not by a long shot. I do not like to be such a focus of things." She would kiss his forehead again and back up. "now, if you do not mind, I since I cannot properly enjoy you in the way I was hoping to be able to tonight, would you mind being my test for my spell? I got closer last time. No one was harmed, just the warning came out a little loud."
[23:29:02] Garrett (Arex Koltai) wanted to reach out and touch her, but damn this fae magic! He nodded quietly as she explained how she felt on the subject and chuckled lightly, "Id like to think that I don't need to be intoxicated to emphasize my love for you..." He winked at her before nodding again as she explained how Aradhelon and the woman were jumping to conclusions, "A process I'm sure they are both interminably familiar with..." At her second kiss, he'd lean in a little to meet her lips, before perking a brow at her question and considering the opportunity. He didn't seem terribly enthusiastic, given what had happened previously, but after a moment or two nodded towards her and flashed her an encouraging smile, "Of course..."
[23:31:47] Λɓγรรµร (takaki.rejkus) is offline.
[23:34:54] Viveka (Themis Adasia) would have been okay if he had done so...just...carefully. Then again he wore rougher materials than she did...maybe she wouldn't have been so keen on it. "Aradhelon is....interesting..." she went on to say, as if that was enough of an explanation. "And no, I would like to think neither of us woudl but...neither of us can deny our love of rum either..." She noted the hesitation and one last time, briefly pressed her lips against his and stood back upright, moving to give her more space and a better view of where she wished to place the ward. "Don't worry.. It did not hurt my guard when I set it to warn me of orcs. You will not get jolted. I figured out where I went wrong, I believe." Or in her mind she did. Whatever the case, it worked better the second time. Her arms lifted, the scars in the palm of each hand opening up and the spiritual presence surrounding her. Her whispers echoed about her as she began her cast and feint trails of light followed her finger tips as she seemingly drew in the air,
[23:34:54] leaving runes behind that quickly faded from view. [warning ward 1/3]
[23:39:17] Garrett (Arex Koltai) was not going to die with one nights lack of her touch...though he would do so only under protest! And, as before, Cedar would recieve another black mark for him for denying the opportunity to caress the woman he loved. As she mentioned their mutual love of rum, he grinned brightly and shook his head, "It is the gods gift to people across the planes..." He watched as she stood upwright and stepped around to get into position, nodding slightly as she tried to assuage his concern by explaining how her guard hadn't been turned inside-out. It wasn't so much that he was concerned about himself...but the previous time she'd tried, she'd had a numb arm for the better part of the day. But...she wouldn't learn anything if she didn't try...and he was mostly certain that he was relatively safe. Mostly.

[23:45:54] Viveka (Themis Adasia) continued on, focused on her purpose, though this was not so much about protection, but the intent to learn to protect others, and not solely for selfish purposes, which is where she'd felt she'd gone wrong the first time. A pattern began to form on the ground, the rune for 'human' if one looked close enough was present. A ward to warn of humans crossing it. Though a small area so it was not as though it would bother her for the entire night. Not as though she was like to sleep at any rate. The echoed voice grew louder, though her s remained a whisper, perhaps rather eerie sounding, and wind that seemed to only effect her pushed lightly at her hair. She would have laughed and nodded in agreement to his comment that rum was of the gods, a sentiment she often vocally expressed.
[23:46:05] Viveka (themis.adasia): [warning ward 2/3]
[23:48:37] Garrett (Arex Koltai) frowned in quiet contemplation as her voice rose in volume, filling the air around them, and runes appearing on the ground to match her tones. It was fascinating to watch, despite his lack of personal ability. In fact, maybe it made it all the more interesting, since it was so fundamentally alien to him. He did tense, though, in anticipation of thhe conclusion of the spell. It wasn't that he didn't trust that she didn't want to hurt him, it was that he knew how badly magic could turn on a caster or their surroundings when things went wrong. Still, he remained in place, content to see the results of her efforts
[23:52:06] Viveka (Themis Adasia) closed her eyes as the symbols and runes began to complete on the ground, her name in another language written as the sole person to be warned, completing the pattern and glowing brighter for a mere moment before fading away completely, only a trace of magic remaining where it had once glowed. The eyes in her palms sealed once again and Viveka took a moment to say one last 'please work' in her mind. She opened her eyes again and looked to Garrett, gesturing to him to step into where the pattern had just been moments before. [warning ward 3/3]
[23:54:01] Garrett (Arex Koltai) couldn't help but wince a little as the casting slowly came to a close, though he didn't -feel- any different from when she'd stated casting the spell. He lower his guard a bit and take a look at the rune on the ground before she finally opened her eyes and motioned for him to step forward. He'd slowly push himself from the bed and post up next to the rune, carefully stepping over it with a slow, deep breath and a mental preperation for something unexpected.

[23:58:10] Viveka (Themis Adasia) could not help but laugh at his hesitation. Not that she blamed him. She had gone arm numb for a while....longer than she admitted to but...all was well now and she'd figured out the problem at any rate. Sometimes it took that pain to remind a person of things they should not do. When he stepped into it, she heard the whispers of the spirits telling her that a human had walked within the rune. Her eyes closed as she listened to them, a smile spreading across her face. "It worked," she said softly. "And they are not so overbearing this time...." She forgot for a moment the issue she was having, grinning and clapping, bouncing about till she hopped her way over to him and threw her arms around him to kiss him, only too quickly to remembered why she was standing there naked in the first place...but not frankly caring right now. It was one step closer to protecting others. "Next one, armor or healing!"
[23:59:51] Alleo (alecksin.avora) is online.
[00:01:33] Garrett (Arex Koltai) stepped firmly onto the rune and instinctively closed his eyes, only opening them when it appeared that the world was ending. He finally began to relax, more so when he saw Viveka smiling to the apparent success of her task! He'd, without thinking, return her kiss and try to embrace her, only realizing after he'd tried to hug her tightly that he'd gone and potentially made her very uncomfortable. But her enthusiasm was infectious! As she queried what she should learn next he thougth for a moment before motioning to her, "Armor is helpful...but healing can bring a person back from the brink..."
[00:07:38] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): *world wasn't ending
[00:07:43] Vincent Seradin (arex.koltai): ((god dammit, XD))
[00:08:51] Viveka (Themis Adasia) really didn't care at this point. Discomfort was worth it in this case. She hadn't accidentally made him brain dead or something. She nodded her head that both were useful, but she was fairly certain she had a better chance of finding a teacher to teach her to cure wounds over create armor. "I think I will learn to heal first...as close as it comes to breaking my code. It is not resurrecting so I believe I could be forgiven for changing one's fate just a little." Her damn code was so sticky sometimes, she could never quite find that thin line.

1 week; 2-3 rp/week w/ tutor
Estimated completion: 11/27; 11/20 w/ tutor1.Picking up the scroll
Done in Skype because I keep missing people and didn't wish to sell to myself as Makki to Vik if I could help it...
[12/4/2015 8:37:04 PM] *** Viveka/Poptart/JJ pushes the door to the magic shop open and looks about, hoping to find someone but sees only Damien, who cringed because somehow, seeing her reminded him of the other night when Gavin threw up blood and he had to clean it up. Poor sod, both he and Gavin. Vika would ringadingding the pager and wait to see if anyone was in this time. ***
[12/4/2015 8:38:14 PM] *** Sweet Meri Pie made her way out from the back room, the soft hum on her breath as she caught sight of Viveka. The warm smile on her lips as she murmured a quiet "Good evening, it's good to see you again, what can we help with?" THe look Damien gave her was met with a flicker of Meri's brow her direction and back, but she'd just ask him about it later. ***
[12/4/2015 8:41:22 PM] *** Viveka/Poptart/JJ blinks a few times because..MERI! WOO THERE WAS A MERI! She was silent for the moment till she regained herself, returning the smile and relaxing in her pose again. "We have been worried about you. Even that young vampire, Gavin, expressed concern when we had not seen you for a while. I hope everything is going well?" It seemed as though for a moment, she forgot she actually came for something, till she saw Damien move out of the corner of her eye, and it occurred to her again. "Oh! I was hoping to acquire a new spell scroll. Cure wounds, if you should have it. One can never be too safe anymore, it seems. Especially if the threats I heard made on the library wall actually managed to rile any of the pack up." ***
[12/4/2015 8:51:07 PM] *** Sweet Meri Pie blushed brightly, knowing full well that she'd been burying her self away a lot more than usual lately, but to see Viveka's expression well... She'd tugged her wings close to her and murmured "I'm alright... I'm sorry if I've worried anyone. Oh, of course... Damien?" Meri's glance over and the sweet high trill of her finding Note as he moved to the scrollcase and tugged down the glowing one, handing it to Meri as the light faded. She'd peek at it a moment, then settle it before Viveka and murmur "There you go... that's 50 copper for that one." then took a half-step back at the comment about the library walls, her brows furrowing again as her head shook "I heard about that, but I don't believe it.. unless it's some newcomer that hasn't met Emma. I think almost all the Elves here are under her spell, literal or figurative." ***
[12/4/2015 8:58:06 PM] *** Viveka/Poptart/JJ nodded her head once with a smile and a soft sigh. "I could not imagine she would say such a thing, but that does not mean there are those whom do not think it. Though I found it curious why it was put on the library wall of all places. Why not somewhere that a wolf would be more likely to see it in case they were keeping to themselves. Elka did cause quite a stir for them," she would say as she fished the copper out of a bag around her waist. "It makes about as much sense to me as Ephralia being magically forced to kill Nixie. Not even a seer needs to be about to know something about that was not right." She'd place the coin on the counter and take the scroll, tucking it into her belt that she totally had on. "I am glad to see that you are well, however." ***
[12/4/2015 9:05:04 PM] *** Sweet Meri Pie nodded softly, that spell had been another thing that bothered her, especially Meri's inability to do a damned thing about it. So much going on and yet she found herself more and more withdrawn. Her eyes darted up, offering another smile "Well enough..." even if the newest news had her more upset than most. She'd force a smile though and dip her head like she usually would before remembering to take the coins, a quiet "I hope that helps you. You should talk to Cedar, she may be able to give you lessons on that, she has the spell as well." Meri'd tuck the coins away and peruse her carefully with a quiet "And is all well with you, I hope?" ***
[12/4/2015 9:15:28 PM] *** Viveka/Poptart/JJ had saved the day! It was all good! She'd let that subject go. No sense dwelling on it. If she really wanted to know, she'd try to view the past...or the future. And if it was bad enough, the spirits would let her know, and she was getting nothing. So it wasn't anything to be /too/ concerned with, by her logic. At the last question of Meri's, she'd blush a little of her own and nod her head. "They are. I am considering selling Crystal Skies and Springs. It...well since you know of me, honestly I worry what may happen if they found out I was a seer. I've not had good experiences with the wrong people knowing such information. Garrett and I will move out of that area as well and I will see if perhaps Gerald will hire me in the tavern so I can go back to entertaining. I find myself missing my old ways a lot and the den served it's purpose and kept me rooted here till a better path presented itself." ***
[12/4/2015 9:20:10 PM] *** Sweet Meri Pie lifted her brows, but nodded. In Meri's mind of course, she thought selling it was an excellent idea, but - Meri also all too admittedly was biased in that respect. "I would be just as honored to have your help here as well, but of course - you should go where you think you will be most happy. And I'm delighted to hear that things are well with you and Garrett." The brief clouding of her expression disappeared like a gust of wind and her smile returned. "You deserve it. And I'm quite sure Gerald would be an idiot not to corral your talents while he may. Either way, you have a path, and someone to walk it with you. I'm pleased for you, truly." ***
[12/4/2015 9:40:00 PM] *** Viveka/Poptart/JJ blinked and looked to Meri when her expression changed, no matter how brief. She was not apt to miss such things, but she also knew when to and when to not bring it up. The blush grew, for a moment at least, before she was better able to control her emotions. She was so not normal Elf like when it came to keeping some of those to herself. "I will consider taking you up on that offer. If for no other reason than the company and easy access to learning more, since I cannot seem to get enough of that. I do not see why I could not do both, honestly. And could finally join my kind as well since I wished to remain neutral after Lower Aberwyth was taken over." ***
[12/4/2015 9:59:59 PM] *** Sweet Meri Pie was definitely not Elf-like when it came to controlling hers, the soft blush on Viveka's cheeks met with her own and a rustle of wings as she turned and tugged down another scroll, passing it to Viv. "Think about it, take this. If you decide you want to, I'll be ecstatic of your help for whatever times you are willing, no fuss, no muss. I know Emma would be glad to have you about more too." Her soft smile returning again for a moment before that too faded. "Though that reminds me, I should get back to work. If you need anything in the meantime, just leave a message with Damien, he can always get a hold of me." She'd step back again and turn towards the door, then pause and look back at Viv "Oh, I almost forgot... thank you Viveka, have a good evening please." ***
