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

Molpe:

"Ar-cane? Is that some type of cane like old people sometimes use to walk, or a candy cane? Oh wait--you said they were arts; is it like Ryuko where you beat up bad guys and then touch naked people to make them happy? Because if so, then I haven't done it yet but it certainly seems like fun!"

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBLOCK]Molpe smiles, her question had been answered, “no, little one, its nothing like that. Now eat your diner before it gets cold.”

* Molpe took a seat and followed her own advice. * [/SBLOCK]

Zykovian T’Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist/Marksman

Melody & Abdiel
[sblock]*Zykovian was uncertain which would be the best approach to search for the gem.*

Nodding to himself, Zykovian spoke up, "Let's go clockwise to the Festive Ward, that way we can check the other Wards on our way - though I am not tied to that idea."

**Rystil Only**
[sblock]Ideally, Zykovian wanted the fastest results with the least exposure to people who were either after the gem as well, or who didn't have their best interests at heart. Zykovian had no problem dealing with them on his own . . . but there were others here that he needed to consider.[/sblock][/sblock]

Melody, Dolathi Eldritch Infiltrator

A/Z:

[SBLOCK]“Sounds good! I think the Dock Ward might be on the way, so we can cover that one on the way at least.”[/SBLOCK]

Molpe:

*The three finish their broth, which is mostly watery and tasteless, but none do so as quickly as Esperanza. After the little girl is finished, she becomes restless and playful, as usual.*

"Miss Molpe, I've decided to call you Sis now like Mommy because you're so kind and loving, you're like a Big Sister to me. Can I sit in your lap? I'd like to give you a hug. I love you, Sis!"

*The trio goes back down the stairs and completely out of the inn this time.*

"Must not have liked the room," Amity says with a shrug.

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[SBlock]Molpe smiles at the little girl and slides her chair back inviting her into her lap, “Of course, little one, come let ‘Sis’ hold you.” [/SBlock]

A/Z/Melody:
[SBLOCK]
*The trio and the eagle head cautiously clockwise out of the Traveler's Ward and into the Dock Ward, pleased to discover that the lack of change in the eagle's state at least meant that they were less likely to be heading in the wrong direction. They smell the scent of the sea on the air as they cross the gate connecting the two wards, and the buildings shift from the inviting signs of the traveler-catering inns and other facilities of the Traveler's Ward to the less-pretty but functional wooden facades of warehouses, sea shanties, and other dock facilities, and of course the actual docks themselves, full of ships, many of whom may have brought eager adventurers ready for the upcoming convocation. The fact that the eagle did not gain some sense of the inner radius probably meant that they needed to keep going, but they paused for a moment to regroup first, in case anyone eanted to do anything in the Dock Ward.*

[OOC: Feel free to tell me to just continue, but I didn't want to force you to walk all the way there in one post ]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Esperanza smiles delightedly and crawls under the table and up from underneath onto Molpe's lap, where she gives her 'Sis' a big hug.*

"Thanks for playing with me today and teaching me so much new stuff. This was the best day I ever had since mommy started working all the time! Do you love me too Sis? Hey, I know! Wanna stay with me and play again tomorrow?"
[/SBLOCK]

Zykovian T’Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist/Marksman

A/M/Rystil

[sblock]*Zykovian followed the others through the district, intent on his task. The hood on his dark blue cloak was pulled low, his hair spilled out the front. Zykovian's bow was slung over his shoulder, ready to go at a moment's notice. He had no business in dock ward that couldn't wait until after recovering the gem.*

**Rystil Only**
[sblock]Zykovian will keep an eye out for tails, looked skyward occasionally. 'It had been a couple of nights since I was last in dock ward,' Zykovian thought. 'It was a good lesson - never challenge someone when their ship mates completely fill the tavern. Still don't quite remember how I got out of that one . . . . I believe the mantra was Prestidigitation is your friend . . . .'[/sblock][/sblock]
