A Teacher for Laynie: Mystery at the Academy (Part 2)

[Bront]

Vanitri sighs, "I know one of the janitors disapeared last night as well. Any clue when the last time anyone saw Dolder was?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, if you didn't see him after that, it was yesterday in class, I think. Another janitor...we need to get to the bottom of this. I don't want them to have to put school on hiatus temporarily, but I'm not sure that there is another solution right now...How curious that Dolder would vanish, though."

 

[Bront]

"Because that'd make him the only human, right? Not that I'm looking into that sort of thing of course, that's only a theory." Vanitri says with a wink. "Care to make tea and discuss theory? No one'd realy bother us 'bout that."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Rayne nods slowly, and heads over to set the water to boil with a cantrip and mix some tea leaves.*

"You know I said you shouldn't get involved," she shakes her head slightly, "But it seems like you've been checking up on all of them..."

 

[Bront]

"Us tricky freefolk, right?" he says with a wink.

"Laynie, go find Lex and let her know we haven't found Dolder yet. Then have her give you a piece of candy from her 3rd desk drawer on the left, since you were a good girl at the Healer's, ok?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Laynie nods.*

"Okay. Oh boy, candy!"

*She heads out to inform Lex.*

"So Elektra has you working for her then, I guess. And Truman too?" Rayne asks.

 

[Bront]

"I'd rather call it a mutual business arangement, but yes."

"However, having visions of fighting a Dark Lord durring my trial piqued my curiosity a bit, so I can't help but be the least bit curious when strange notes appear and now people disapear."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Your trial...oh dear. You know that those are only possible futures, right? I'm tempted to send you away, then, to ensure that such a future never spells your doom...A dark lord...There have been so many of those in the history of Medibaria, but...If not for Dolder Vreemont, I might think it was...But I can't mention that to the students, I'm sorry."

 

[Bront]

"Well, it was someone I knew. Could be Dolder for all I know, which means everything fits with our profile so far of non-humans. I'd guess that's this theoretical Dark Lord's pattern that you can't talk about."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I can't talk about it, of course. Dolder Vreemont was a human and a low-ranking Highborne whose family has fallen into poverty, but a Highborne nonetheless. I highly doubt that he could be a Dark Lord, though. Doesn't seem like the type, and isn't talented enough. Talent is really a factor that proves a lot of the shadier students here innocent, even the sithinaar'liir."
