Shards of Memory--Act I: The Boundless Void

*Valyssa melts into Zaeryn's touch, moving back with him onto the bed, as they engage each other in passion.*

(OOC: Sure, you can deduct the money and pick a few of those up, and we'll say you got them in Eldiz during that time when we just moved everyone together--I'm flexible )

*Yuriko immerses herself in the ceremony, sipping the tea slowly. It is not quite the same as the traditional teas of Lara Kai, with a bit more of an herbal taste, but it is still quite soothing.*

*The woman replies to Diedrik, who translates to Gaius.*
[SBLOCK=Eldish translated for Gaius]
"Certainly--I know that one of those three singles is very large and has a big bed in it. You can spar wherever you wish as far as I know."

"Hmm...I wonder why they'd want me to run the wedding?"

"Tralg and Praetorian? Hmm, well hopefully someone else knows at least one of those, I guess. Otherwise, we'll need to rely on your highly useful skill to converse with anyone--I'm sure that will come in handy on this journey."

"That's about it. We're heading into the Unknown Spheres, to an uncharted location far from civilisation. I don't know much more than you about it."

Kirkesh, Vanessa at his side, waves to Diedrick and the Captain, but waits at a reasonable distance to give them any privacy they may require in their conversation.

[sblock=In Rowani, in the vacinity of Diedrick and the Captain]"Well, love, that must be Captain Talia. We can wait for her here, or perhaps go explore one of the other room in depth. Was there anything that struck your fancy dear Vanessa?"[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Rystil Only]*The herbal taste of the tea made Yuriko nervous. 'I should have bought my own tea,' she thought. She briefly thought that it might be drugged, even a minor bit to help ensure the crew and its passengers were compliant.*

OOC: I estimated 15gp each for the three books, 20 sheets of parchment (4 gp), 1 additional ink (8 gp.), for a total expense of 57 gp, leaving Yuriko with 150gp remaining.[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Yuriko]
*If the tea is drugged, Yuriko can't feel any effects or spot anything wrong with it. It just seems to be an herbal tea with a sweet taste. Ultimately, the only way to tell would be to ask whoever brewed the tea and see if she thought they were lying.*

(OOC: Looks good )

[sblock=Rystil only]*Yuriko poured a very small amount of the tea in one of the other tea cups, knowing that small amount of liquid so warm would quickly evaporate. She would look at the residue that remained to see if anything looked odd.*

OOC: I know that there's probably nothing wrong with the tea. I'm just thinking that she would be curious about it . . . and worried about strange tea . . . Plus, I'm killing some time [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Yuriko]
*Yuriko waits for the tea to evaporate, leaving a thin layer of residue at the bottom of the cup.*

[sblock=Rystil Only]*Yuriko spent the time she waited working on her tea ceremony . . . and enjoying her tea. Once it was dried, Yuriko examined the residue with a discerning eye, looking for anything unusual . . . or familiar.*

OOC: 7,000 posts ! Yay! I missed my odometer turning this morning (at 30K) but I caught my posts turning! [/sblock]
