Destiny's Tears-Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part I

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe quickly follows her lead, after a sideways glance and smile towards Wei-Han, but without as much enthusiasm as her nymph body didn’t require as much substance as a growing girl. *[/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Molpe and Wei-Han sip their broth when they hear a cough from the other 'room' and Aldonza staggers out.*

"Excuse me sister. Something is not right. I was checking Esperanza's money...and there must be some mistake. The bills are now ten-credit bills, meaning I have ten times as much as I thought I did, but that's impossible! I count it every day..."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe smiles at the cough, knowing that it could be only one person, and looks up to see Aldonza. Molpe looks confused as she steers up at her, the confused look comes natural as she has no idea what Aldonza is talking about. *

“Ahh, okay,” Molpe replies softly as she gets up from the table to join her whatever it was obviously important to Aldonza, “I can help but to be honest currency confuses me.” [/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Aldonza leads Molpe into the back area and moves to the drawer containing the credits. They are just as Molpe remembers them, five hundred perfectly clean pieces of paper with the number ten written on them, meaning they are each equivalent to ten of the regular ones according to Wei-Han. That does indeed mean that Aldonza has ten times as much as she had originally thought.*

"Sister...Did you switch out my credits while you were checking them before? It wouldn't be right for me to accept these from you..."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]Molpe shakes her head earnestly but her eyes are still wide in confusion, “No! That’s the credits I remember from eailier. I still have those coins if they will help Esperanza or you out...”

* She reaches into her backpack in an effort to pull out the coins in question. *[/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"No, as I said before, I can't take your last coins from you...but how did this happen then if it wasn't you? Just this morning these were 1-credit bills, now they are 10-credits each..."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBLOCK]Molpe simply shrugged, she couldn’t figure what the big deal was about this currency stuff was, and looked down at the coins in her hand for what was really the first time. A small quickly formed as she asked, “Hey it’s got a guy's face on it!” [/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"So it does, sister," Aldonza says, shaking her feeble head good-naturedly at the Limnad, "I guess you were the wrong person to ask about the money, but you're the only one to whom I've shown it. Go back to your dinner, I guess, and I'll just go to sleep and pray for guidance. Perhaps salvation has been sent to me by the angels...But...this money is so clean. I had remembered my 1-credit bills were completely filthy like the house around them."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]Molpe smiles up at Aldonza, leans in and gives her a quick loving kiss, “Thank you its yummy and maybe the angels laundered it for you?” Molpe replied sweetly, but completely clueless, as she turned to leave the room.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Aldonza laughs, a sickly wheezing laugh, and says then says:*

"Goodbye, sister..." as she lays down upon the trash and cushions like a bed.

*As Molpe returns to the other area, she hears Esperanza say:*

"Hey, you're really dirty again from wrestling with Miss Molpe in the trash Wei-Han. Let me try another song!"

*This time when she sings the Hygiene song, however, nothing happens.*

"Hmm...maybe I need to practise more..."
