Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

[Keia]

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 24/28

AbMM [SBLOCK]*In High Praetorian*[sblock]

"I await your command, Master."

[/SBLOCK]*When Lyveria spoke, Zykovian was walking away. He paused not turning around, anger rippling on his face but not in his voice, and stated in High Praetorian, [sblock]"One Zero Eight R Five Two Seven, I will also refer to as Lyveria, please follow me. Lyveria . . . it will have more meaning shortly."[/sblock]*In S/E/HP, Zykovian continued to his companions, "I'll be going to the traveler's Ward after my flat, most likely. I will not stand for what was done to her."

*Rystil Only*[sblock]Zykovian will start to think through possible logical commands that he can give that will essentially override most of the functionality of the collar. Perhaps there is a way to circumvent the protocols, at least until it can be removed.[/sblock][/sblock]

 

[Eonthar]

Abdiel Lyanthra

AbMM:[SBLOCK]

"The intent was always to help Abdiel restore his planet with the gem," Zykovian explained. "Unfortunately, getting jumped by a squad of guard in the Noble Ward, and they don't retain chups in the guard for the Noble Ward, along with a Dragonlord, along with Erila switching sides and Lyveria taken out of commission sort of changed those plans."

"Now . . . I'm angry - I know we've been played but I'm uncertain as to who. Our only chance to have a hope of recovering the gem in the future was to give him the gem and go from there. Can't devise interesting plans to recover the gem when I'm dead . . . I don't think anyone can."

Abdiel responds in Seelie[SBLOCK]"I do not believe that Erila has switched sides. I believe that she pretended to switch sides to make sure that there was no problems, especially with her father being present."

"I have not given up on recovering the Crazan Arris. I have held it once and I believe that I will be able to recover it. Trust me when I say that if I had thought that my death would have been useful, I would gladly have given my life to save my mother."[/SBLOCK]
Abdiel then turns to Fedowin, and says, in very broken Eldish[SBLOCK]"Selling Crazan Arris no jokes make. Not funny."[/SBLOCK]

AbMM:[SBLOCK]Abdiel responds in Seelie[SBLOCK]

"I do not believe that Erila has switched sides. I believe that she pretended to switch sides to make sure that there was no problems, especially with her father being present. I have not given up on recovering the Crazan Arris. I have held it once and I believe that I will be able to recover it."

[/SBLOCK]*Zykovian countered in E/S/HP.* "Did you see here eyes change, I didn't know they could do that," Zykovian asked. "What I would like to know is who stole the gem in the first place, assuming it was not Molpe. The hairs were Molpe's so it has to be someone who had access to her, or where she lived."[/SBLOCK]

 

[Eonthar]

Abdiel Lyanthra

AbMM:[SBLOCK]

*Zykovian countered in E/S/HP.* "Did you see here eyes change, I didn't know they could do that,"

Abdiel thinks about this for a second, and responds, in Seelie[SBLOCK]"I thought that I had seen a change in her eye colour. Is this not something that all humanoids like yourselves can do? I have seen Amity and Melody do it, I thought all of you could. I did not perceive it as strange. As to who committed the murders and stole the Crazan Arris in the first place, I have no idea. I have not given it much thought, as the safety of the Crazan Arris was the most important thing to me. What clues and suspects do we have?"[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 24/28

AbMM[sblock]*In E/S/HP, Zykovian replied to Abdiel, "I have a theory, but this is not the place or time to speak of it - perhaps somewhere we are certain of privacy, such as the Laughing Sail, in a private room."[/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Zarina hugs Molpe back with strong arms, stroking her gently and comfortingly, as Celimene sticks out her tongue at Zarina and laughs, happy at her little trick.*

"There, there," Zarina says, comforting Molpe gently in her arms, "Of course we would see each other again--it is destiny! Don't worry--I will always be here to hold you and keep you safe."
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA:[sblock]“Really?” Molpe replied softly as she took comfort in Zarina’s words and tender embrace. [/sblock]

Melody:
[SBLOCK]
"A ship named after me? Hmm...that would be amusing, I guess. Captain Melody of the Discovery, eh?"

"As for interesting events, there's a lot of good niche stuff, but if you're going to be a captain, then you might be interesting in some leadership and captaining seminars that tell about efficient crew allocation--its up to the captain to know enough about everything to be able to make decisions for the entire crew. Otherwise, I'm guessing the series of lectures by guest speakers from each of the different worlds should be fun, and I was going to drop in on the magical theory workshop tomorrow myself."

"I should be here for a while yet, but afterwards, I'll be giving some basic info about our little alliance at a question and answer session in about four hours--feel free to drop in on that and let me know about dinner at the end."

*Discovery kisses his daughter back and gives her a big hug, and then she heads to the clerk, asking him to get a note if Zykovian or Abdiel arrives.*

"You want me to give them a note?" the clerk asks, already a bit bewitched by Melody's charm the last time around, "Sure, I can do that, Melody--just let me have the note, and I'll tell the other clerks to look out for those names as well and send those two straight to me."

AbMM:
[SBLOCK]
*108R527 follows after Zykovian in a quick but stiff repeated stride.

Zykovian:
[SBLOCK]
*Zykovian's mind pores over the puzzle of the restraining collar, and he is able to think of several ways to phrase orders that would give Lyveria back autonomy until he remembers that the guard's words imply that the collar creates its effect by literally shutting down pieces of her artificial mind that handle such things. So if he does use a clever command to try to give her free will, she will simply be unable to comply.*
[/SBLOCK]

*Unwilling to voice his suspicions yet, Zykovian leads the group until they reach his flat in the Residential Ward, and he tugs out the key, unlocking the door and holding it open so that everyone can enter.*
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Yes, really," Zarina nods in agreement, holding her sister against her and continuing to stroke her comfortingly.
