Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

[Keia]

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 24/28

All but Melody and Molpe [SBLOCK] *Lyveria and Zykovian converse in High Praetorian:*[SBLOCK]

*Then she begins to translate, mimicking expression somewhat, but not nearly ass well as when she could just repeat things in the same language:*

"Erila!?"

"Oh, hi Daddy. How have you been?"

"What are you doing here, my dearest daughter?"

"Oh, I was just looking around for the Crazan Arris--I heard you lost it, Daddy, and I really wanted to help find it."

“Oh, that’s a useful piece of information . . .” Zykovian said getting angry.[/sblock]
*In Seelie to Abdiel*[sblock] “You might have mentioned that Erila was the daughter of Zaryl Barryn – that might have been helpful . . . ,” Zykovian called out.[/sblock]

*Back to Lyveria (and others) in High Praetorian*[sblock]

"According to the probability of failure, it is highly foolish for you to do anything but hand us in and collect your reward...of course, according to the estimated eighty percent chance due to a preponderence of circumstancial evidence that you are not telling the truth about setting us up, it would highly foolish for me to assume that you were telling me the truth...but I do...Does that mean I am broken? I may need extensive repairs made to my artificial mind if I ever get out of this situation..."

“You’re not broken, you’re making your own decisions – that’s good,” Zykovian commented, calming. “I’ll do what I can for you, but you’ll have to trust me.”

Turning to Mhrazhar, Zykovian said, “Now is definitely not the time . . . we would lose. What do Mojiin senses see?”[/SBLOCK]
Looking to the guard captain, Zykovian smiled and said in Eldish, but using an authoritative voice[sblock] “I lay claim to this one,” Zykovian said with authority, pointing to Lyveria, “having killed the former Rosethorne owner - unless someone has a greater claim.” [/SBLOCK][/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"No, I don't believe I have, Sister," Karya admits, giving the smiling and blushing Rowaini another hug, "She's a very sweet girl, and she will be a most wonderful woman someday too! Celimene, I just know you'll help to make this world a better place."
[/SBLOCK]

Melody:
[SBLOCK]
*The young man smiles and nods along with Melody.*

"That does make sense, and since you're so eager to sign up, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to get into every event for free if you go see the registrar first--the system was basically just invented to avoid loafers who would walk in, use our resources, and then leave without ever really being interested in working with us. There's no reason that we can't find a compromise for nice people like you who share our love for exploring."

"As for team structure, you can decide that as you please, I think. You will not be held responsible for the nefarious actions of your teammates, but you will be requested to help bring them to justice if you are able, both physically and emotionally, to do so. When it comes to size, I'm not 100% sure on this, and the registrar knows better than I, but this is my guess: A lot of people are needed to run even a small spelljamming ship, but we figure that the actual exploration team should consist of between five and ten people--the more who can do necessary jobs on the ship, the more you can bring without compromising the duration of the air envelope by bringing too many, but too few and you can't get anything done. If you have a proposal for a different number, I would guess we will consider it."

(OOC:

And Melody rolls a modified 30 on the untrained Diplomacy check--gotta love synergies! By the way, I don't fudge dice, so there --you actually got the 19)
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“I believe you too, sister,” Molpe says as she grins at the blushing Rowaini, “but, sister, she does have a tuff of hair down there,” Molpe’s royal blue explored Celimene’s body till they reached the bottom of the two piece bathing suit that the Rowaini was wearing, “so that would indeed make her a woman, correct?”

* Raising her eyes to Celimene’s face Molpe realizing just how bad she had embarrassed the brunette and she quickly offers a hug and then a deep tender kiss in apology. *

“I’m sorry my dear friend! I didn’t mean to embarrass you so… Will you forgive me, Celimene?” [/sblock]

 

[Thanee]

Melody

Rystil:
[SBLOCK]“I immediately knew, you were a reasonable person,” Melody replies with just a hint of flattery in her beautiful voice. “Well, I surely hope, that there will be no problems with any team members, though you can never know. If they were close friends, but anyways, I was more thinking of... 'losing' an item to an outside influence, so to say, i.e. if we get attacked by pirates and robbed.” Laughing for a moment, Melody then continues. “I hope I don't sound too pessimistic, it's just an example which came to mind... well, whatever, let's get on with this... I would really love to speak to the registrar as soon as possible. If you could give me a direction, that would be most helpful. As for the other team members, I already have a few persons in mind, but I don't know for sure, so I will have to ask them first, of course, but if they agree, which I suppose they will do, I will send them here to let you know.”


OOC: Well, a few dice results were a little too convenient (repeatedly) to be coincidence (although, that is always possible, of course). And I can only guess. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt there, not that it is really an issue, anyways. [/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Oh, that’s a useful piece of information . . .”[/SBLOCK]

*Lyveria notices Zykovian getting angry, and responds in High Praetorian.*
[SBLOCK]
"My sincerest apologies, Sir Zykovian. I will strive not to cause such displeasure in the future. Was my translation unsatisfactory?"

*When Zykovian asks Lyveria to trust him, she blinks once, which is curious because as a construct, she never blinks unless she wants to do so. Perhaps she does not want any of the guards to see a wink, and she realises that Zykovian will understand.*
[/SBLOCK]
*The guard captain looks at Lyveria and says in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]
"That's the Pleb, I guess. I'm afraid we do have a higher claim on it, sir--it was an accessory to murder and other criminal activities, and will need to be stored in a container with the other pieces of evidence--it also will need to be examined for clues as to the whereabouts of the Rosethorne leaders. When that's done, we can have it mindwiped to remove its criminal and other aberrant tendencies, and then it will be sold off--I'm sure we will offer it to you first for a reduced price if you want it though, but I hear these things are pretty expensive--my friend Johann wanted to buy one, and he couldn't afford it. I do apologise, sir--I will do whatever is in my power to make sure we have it ready for you as quickly as possible, maybe as soon as two days, in time for the end of that big convocation they're holding."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"I guess you are right, my sister," Karya admits freely, "I guess when you've lived as long as I have, you always have that kind of problem--I hope I didn't make you feel bad when I called you a girl, my beautiful Rowaini friend."

*Celimene smiles bashfully at both of her nymph admirers and says kindly:*

"Of course I forgive you--you have both been so very kind to me...it makes me feel so good to hear your praise...it is so much more than I used to have back home."
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“But no more than you deserve, my friend,” Molpe says as she holds Celimene by her side as she looks back upon Karya, “you shouldn’t talk like that, sister! To believe your old is to make yourself old,” Molpe teases her with a smile as she leans close and whispers into one of Celimene’s ear, “Speaking of talking, what did she say to you in your native tongue?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Melody:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, in the pirate example, I'm sure they wouldn't lay the blame on an innocent girl like you when it isn't even your fault. Even if they did, as long as you completed the mission afterwards, then it would be alright even if a pirate stole the gear, since it would be yours. Don't worry about pirates, though--this convocation is a time to have fun and enjoy yourself, Milady Melody."

*He gives her directions to the registrar's office.*

(OOC:

If you think this was crazy, you should see my one friend who gets a crazy-high number of 20s on my random-number generator. I considered for a while that he was doing something, but he couldn't be because the generator is on my calculator, and it works normally most of the time...

Another interesting tidbit--you said that I am fudging and you aren't upset and BS said that I'm not fudging and he is upset )
[/SBLOCK]

Melody

Rystil:
[SBLOCK]“Ok, no more pirates, robberies and whatnot! That sounds like a brilliant idea. Thank you for your help!”

Melody then heads to the office.


OOC: LOL (I wasn't speaking of any 20's, tho. Just some chains of highly unlikely rolls combined with a few other factors. )[/SBLOCK]
