Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“Bye! Thank you! Have fun sir!”

*Molpe calls out as waves the nice man off. Once alone she quickly turns to her gifts and begins to open them up, from biggest to smallest, but only after she reads the card, if one was left. * [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

All but Molpe:
[SBLOCK]

Zykovian:
[SBLOCK]
*Looking around, Zykovian espies Reynard, a Rowaini bounty hunter who once competed with Zykovian for a particularly lucrative bounty, as well as Rytra, a Feldori dancer who had been abducted by a crazed Mojiin assassin who had killed a few other women of various races--Zykovian had managed to save the girl, though the assassin escaped, and he lost the bounty thereby.*
[/SBLOCK]

*As everyone takes their seats, a man comes out center-stage.*

"Greetings everyone," he speaks, and somehow everyone hears it in their native tongue--a magical effect no doubt, "And I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you all again to Eldiz, especially those who may have missed the opening ceremonies. For those of you who did not meet me earlier, my name is Subterfuge, and along with my colleagues, Celerity, Discovery, and Wonder, I am delighted to be your host for this extraordinary convocation. Let me just say that each of you brings a unique and special contribution to Eldiz and to the art of Spelljamming without which we would not be where we are today, and whose continued support is crucial to the advancement of all our futures. But I know you don't want to hear me babble on, so without further ado, I will present our first speaker: Please welcome Fermata, our lovely Melodian delegate from the world of Rhapsodia!"

*And he walks off the stage as a short woman with crystalline features and vibrant violet hair walks on in his place to the polite applause of the crowd.*
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Three big gift boxes with bright red ribbons come with a single card that reads:*

"For our lovely delegate Molpe Lilypetals. We hope you enjoy your time with us! Warmest regards--Subterfuge, Celerity, Discovery, Wonder, and all the rest of the convocation staff."

*Then there's a small one that's been covered with a strong but less appealing sturdy leather case, but it is covered with random letters, words, and checkboxes with checkmarks in them, rather than a greeting card.*
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]* Molpe smiles at the card that came with three of the boxes, she was glad to know that the staff was going to be as nice as Tifalia had assured her they would be but the box that stuck out drew her to it. Picking up the small less appealing box Molpe tires to makes heads and tails out of the funny symbols, but she quickly grows tired and gives up, and settles on opening this gift first. *[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Opening up the leather exterior, she sees that it was just a protective shell for a small but lavish gift-wrapped box, with lace a royal-blue that matches Molpe's eyes and platinum inlays.*
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]* Molpe’s grin grows astronomically larger as the gift become more than she thought it would be and as her anticipation grows. With a giggle she quickly, but carefully removes the lace, and opens the box. * [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*When Molpe opens the box, there is suddenly a whirling rainbow of colour as a rush of butterflies flutter out of the box and fly around Molpe and into the room, tickling her nose and cheeks as they soar past and around, and the lovely scent of fresh Amaranthian flowers drifts into the room, settling around it and giving everything a delightful scent. Inside of the box is an odd-looking sphere of pulsing blue energy, tied together by a little rune in the centre that glows gently. Additionally, there is a letter written in flowing Seelie.*
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]* Molpe was delighted at the butterflies in a way that only a nymph could be and it took all of her effort not to run around and giggle in their wake. With a curious frown Molpe inspected the rune but quickly decided that the answers she sought would be in the letter itself she laid the rune back down and took the letter into her slender hand. * [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*As Molpe takes the letter into her hand, it glows faintly and begins to read itself aloud:*

"Hey True Sister!" the letter greets Molpe in a clear and lovely voice--Tifalia's voice, "How are you doing today?"

*It stops reading at that point, which seems a bit curious, as there is obviously more written in the letter--the pause is almost as if the letter is waiting for a response...*
[/SBLOCK]

RA: [sblock]“Ah… okay. I guess,” Molpe said softly not at all sure what to do as she looked pass the letter towards the rune. Maybe it had broke, it was a long way from Amaranthia after all. [/sblock]
