Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*As Zaeryn looks around for Valyssa in the distance, he notices that she is suddenly not there, and while he is distracted, she drops on him from above and grabs on gently, back in mermaid form, hoping to ride the dolphin.*

Gaius:

"Supplies will be provided for you on the ship, and I doubt there will be any opportunity for gem trade in the depths of Wildspace, so you should be alright, I'd imagine. The captain will look into helping you with any purchases, if you need to make them, I'm sure. As for the arena, you could go back if you like, but why don't you take it easy and relax here, perhaps enjoy a relaxing bath in the spa or a massage, while I have one of my Plebs get your things for you?"
[/SBLOCK]

gaius looks suspiciously at the senator, then relaxes.
If she wanted me dead i'd be dead allready. Better to have a bath den. At least I'll die clean.

"Allright Lady, you have it your way den. Just tell da pleb to get everything. Der is a loose floorboard under da bed. I keep my money dere. And dont forget my bow and arrows. I don't really care about da rest."

"Yes, a bath and a massage sound just right fer me. And some food."

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*From the looks of things, not much has changed, and yet there have been a few important changes. As she glances around at the monks moving back and forth between rooms, she sees a good number of new faces, and misses some of the old ones she knows. That should be no surprise, considering that a good percentage of the monks here were itinerant, spending a short time training and meditating here, before moving on--particularly those who went on the Grand Pilgrimage to be named Master, which consists of visiting all the majour monasteries and studying at each for a full year, in turn. She wonders if Elder Master Ryukan is awake--when she was here, he was by a wide margin the most spiritually adept monk here, and though she could never shake the suspicion that his little smile hid a secret knowledge of her deception, he always treated her with the same kindness and respect that he would treat any monk of the monastery, even the most senior Elders.*

(OOC: Yes you did, and your journey was by far the most difficult, at least in my opinion--hopefully, it also made it fun )

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*His plans to chase and tag her thwarted, Zaeryn heads for the surface with Valyssa, taking a breath before speeding her through the water twisting and turning for several minutes, before eventually turning back to his merman form.*[/SBLOCK]

Gaius:
[SBLOCK]
"Alright, I shall do just that," the golden-haired Archon promises, ringing a bell as two Plebs enters the room, both with the distinctive silver hair that no one but an Archon would use on their servants, "You, go get the gentleman's belongings for him, including his bow and arrows, and his money, kept under a loose floorboard by his bed. You, take our guest down to the spa and draw him a nice bath, followed by a massage."

"At once, mistress," the first Pleb replies, as the second bows, "As you command, mistress."

*The second Pleb leads Gaius down towards the spa, a warm and humid room with a bubbling natural springs feeding into a few small pools.*

"How warm would you like your water sir?" the Pleb asks.

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Whee!" Valyssa exclaims, as she rides about on dolphin-Zaeryn, "This is fun!"

*As she feels the smooth dolphinskin give way to Zaeryn's merman form, she repositions her grab into a hug, kissing him on the back of his neck.*

"Tired, my love?" Valyssa asks him with a touch of concern.
[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“Not at all, just thought I’d change form for a different kind of attention. Seems it worked!”

*Zaeryn replies, as he twists in Valyssa’s hug to face her, before kicking with his tail to push them along.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[sblock]Yuriko inquired of one of the monks she had journeyed with to the monastery, "Excuse me, -sama. Who is present that I should speak to of my arrival and the related issues? Is Elder Master Ryukan perhaps still in residence?"

*Yuriko is fully subsumed in her role as an itinerant monk, and followed all of the rituals her former monkish life held.*

OOC: It was a blast! If you need to rush me up to get everyone together, I understand. I definitely have a good grasp of the character. There are still some questions to be answered (i.e. cleansing the taint, what's up with Rin, and if Shinoa is recoverable, etc.). [/sblock]

Zaeryn:

"Oh I see," Valyssa replies coyly, snuggling up against him again, "How's this?"
