Equivalent Exchange: Episode 3--Crimson Eternal

[Rystil Arden]

"Lieutenant, Full Metal asked me to inform you that he has found a book he believes to not belong in the library. A recipe book if I remember correctly. He would like to point it out to you if you have the opportunity to come to the library," Selim explains, and leads the way if Scieszka is willing.

"Oh, oh that one? Is it Marcoh's recipe book?"

 

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: Oh well, guess I can't post anything here... Don't take too long Festy! :\

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Al shouldn't be researching done yet based on when Selim left--this is why I had to ignore Al's earlier attempt to go find Scieszka: we're in a bit of a time spike for Al )

"I am not entirely sure, Lieutentant Scieszka. I did not look at it as I have no interest in cooking. If I could trouble you to look over the text yourself, ma'am, then resolving the issue would be much simpler," Selim says, and follows the superior officer if she complies.

 

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: I think the only person who can continue this now is you Rystil, Selim and Scieszka can meet Al just as he's leaving and everything can get cleared up, then they can leave and Al can tell Laura what he found out. Then whatever happens next...

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yep it's me--I just missed it )

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to go check, but I'm sure that's what it is. Can you just go back and tell him that Marcoh's book is supposed to be there? Thanks!" she heads back in towards the book she was writing before Selim knocked.

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Yes, ma'am," Selim salutes and commits the name Marcoh to memory.

Once he gets back he informs Al.

"Sir, Lieutentant Scieszka has informed me that if the book was written by an individual of the name Marcoh then it belongs here," he explains.

Al shrugs, "Well ok, but I'm done now." Al heads to Scieszka's office and knocks on the the door. When it opens he says, "I'm finished up in there now. There was something I read about though that I couldn't find any more information on. Have you ever read of the lost eastern kingdom?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, okay. Thank you. The lost Eastern Kingdom? Yes, I've heard mention in a few books. It is far to the east, even beyond Lior and Ishbal, in the vast desert almost to the great ocean between our land and the eastern islands. It is said that they were once a thriving civilisation, and that the land was green and fertile, but like all things that touch the stone, the legends say that they met with a great disaster."

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al listens thoughtfully to Scieszka's story. "Hmm. I found a book of letters between my dad and an alchemist named Majihal, some of them mentioned the eastern kingdom... It said that some of the letters were still at Majihal's house in Lintar... Oh well, thanks for everything Scieszka. Oh, that's right, when you're done here you should come meet Rose. Alright, seeya later."

Al starts to leave, wondering if Laura has wandered away by now after being repeatedly neglected.
