One of the mansions belongs to Herjar Valdin, ostensibly a fur trader from Scandaj, but also it is a poorly-kept secret that he is a dealer in women as pleasure pets, barely tolerated by the authorities because he is otherwise an upstanding citisen.

Another belongs to the Vindros, a wealthy family group of Dolathi with members in high arcane, administrative, and craft-guild positions in the city

A third belongs to Zarina, a Feldori who owns a few profitable establishments in the Festive Ward.

A fourth belongs to Victoria and Cattullus Ligentus, a married couple of wealthy Praetorians with three young children.

The final one she can recognise belongs to the eccentric Lacerta florist and botanist Vharak Tarun.

And there are 11 more about which she isn't sure

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Seeing the look on her sisters face Molpe smiled lovingly as she rolled unto her side, leaving Glamour on her back, to whisper sweetly and lovingly into her ear. *

“Let me help you, my beloved sister,” Molpe whisper calmly in her ear as she softly played her sister’s hair, “lay back, focus on the happiness this will bring us, and most of all remain calm. We have all night to make this work so theirs little reason to hurry, okay? Now let me show you my love and then when you’re ready you can show me yours.”

* Molpe smiled again reassuring but she disappeared, pushing herself down Glamour’s body till she was between her sister’s legs, without waiting for an answer. Though Molpe had pleased Glamour before in this manor, this time it was different as it was done in lovingly devotion and not simply to cause her untold pleasure. Believing there was no connection between the two sexes organs Mope beloved she spared no effort in her quest to have Glamour’s daughter. * [/sblock]

*Glamour hears her sister's whispers, but at least for a while she prefers to savour her Sister's sweet bounty as she is, experiencing joy together as they had done before. Eventually, she finally works up the courage to complete the transmutation, changing the way they cuddle and pet together in rapture.*

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe delights in Glamour’s satisfaction and realizes that even her desires will be quenched as she concentrates upon all the love she shares for Glamour and that her sister has for her. Molpe continues to pet her sister, as she had said, they had all night to get this right and if she could help her sister find the pleasure in her maleness than she at least owed it to Glamour. *

“Sister,” Molpe jests as she looks upon her sister, “I think you could honesty hurt someone with that.” [/sblock]

*Glamour's face turns pale and her eyes open wide in horror, filling with tears, as she hastily reverts back to her usual form.*

"Did...did I hurt you Sister? Oh I'm so sorry--so sorry!" Glamour says, curling up into herself a bit and beginning to cry.

Rystil:[SBLOCK]

*As the group heads to the Noble's Ward, a problem with the plan becomes apparent: The mansions and small castles of the wealthy that dot this ward are huge, as well as most being fenced, and so getting within a tree-length of the Jewel was unlikely--assuming the thief was o nthe premises of one of them--unless they were willing to trespass around in several buildings. The one advantage to the size of the buildings is that the compass approximation at least narrowed the search down to a group of sixteen buildings (or the byways in between those buildings), so there are by no means a limitless number of places that need to be searched. In fact, with two Mojiin, the group could split and cover 8 each.*

OOC: How large are these fenced areas of land? Are they more than two tree lengths in size? If not, by sticking close to walls, we could detect the presence of the gem. How high are the walls? Is there a way that two Mojiin could work together to increase the detection range at all?

[/SBLOCK]

All but Molpe:[SBLOCK]

"I would recommend that we not split a group that is tired, weakened, and low on supplies to search the area," Zykovian said. "That said, we should begin the search with all haste . . . at least the lighting is somewhat better in this quarter."

Abdiel replies in Seelie and in Mojiin:[SBLOCK]"I agree. I do not think that splitting up would be wise. So, I guess we should pick one of these at random and go in? Does anyone have rope?"[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

*The fenced areas are expansive, containing not only large mansions, but also gardens and other stretches of land belonging to each well-to-do citisen. Two Mojiin can't work together to increase the range, though they can certainly split up to double the speed of detection.*

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]“No! No, sister, you hurt me not at all,” Molpe says offhandedly grabbing for the disappearing maleness to slowly to massage it back to full size but as it disappears she just brings her arms around Glamour as cuddles her to her, “I was a thoughtless jest, my gentle sister, I know you would never hurt me,” Molpe leans in and kisses her lips sweetly trying to calm her, “but you worry about hurting me aren’t you?” [/sblock]

"Yes, I...I don't want to hurt you...Sister, I swear I would never hurt you in this on purpose...Never! No matter what!...I...I promise..."
