Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn watches Valyssa for several minutes, before moving as quietly as possible to clean himself up, so as not to disturb her. He then changes into his black outfit, cleaning and storing his midnight blue one, before taking his own tome out and changing a few spells.*

OOC: Changing spells 0-level: touch of fatigue -> ghost sound, 1st-level: magic weapon -> hold portal, 2nd-level: shatter -> knock.[/SBLOCK]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Thankfully, Yuriko encounters no trouble during her two-hour foray, sleeping for forty minutes until Shinoa, Yu, and Rin catch up, quietly shaking her awake as instructed.*

(OOC: Hmm...so tired thanks to jet lag...I think I'll just stop for today at my current post-count )
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[SBLOCK]As she was shaken awake, Yuriko had to remind herself not to strike out. Yuriko looked to all of them as she calmly opened her eyes. "Did you have any difficulty following me?" Yuriko asked. "If not, I anticipate we will do this again a couple of times. For this next one I will range ahead again, then rest. When you arrive, get something to eat and allow me to rest until you are finished with your meal. Then, we will go again."

*Yuriko stretched and prepared herself for the next two hours while the trio had a quick respite. Then, after nodding to them, she set off again.*

(OOC: Hmm...so tired thanks to jet lag...I think I'll just stop for today at my current post-count ) Post count: 9,999

OOC: Too cool! I'll have to remember to do that when I get there - probably early next year. [/SBLOCK]

Gaius crawls out of the carriage, ignoring the offered hand as he suspects he might break it if he grabs it a bit too tightly.
"Right den, let us see dis Lady and hear what she has to say."
He quickly checks his clothing, brushes of the dust and walks into the mansion as if entering the arena, head held high and proud.

"Oh, there's no need--you can have this back as soon as you want, of course," Vanessa replies with a smile as she returns the kiss.

"Hmm...all of my clothes are probably somewhat...uh...distinctive. Perhaps you could switch to male and take some of Sanchez's?"

"That sounds like a plan then." Kirkesh raids Sanchez's closet, looking for something not particularly distinctive she can change into, and adjusting her body accordingly into a more masculan form.

Once he's found something acceptable he says "What do you think?" while he admires Vanessa's disguise.

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*As Zaeryn returns from washing up and changing, Valyssa is already finished with what she was reading, though she has selected one of the books strewn across the workshop and is reading it with a small smile on the edge of the bed, her legs dangling over the edge as she twirls her foot absently.*

*As Zaeryn comes in and begins to prepare spells, she waves and blows him a kiss, not wanting to interrupt his concentration and interfere with the preparation process.*

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Shinoa nods.*

"No, thanks to your markings, it was not difficult to follow you at all. We will do our best to do so successfully again."

*They all set forth again, and once again, Yuriko's speed allows her to pull ahead.*
[/SBLOCK]

Gaius:
[SBLOCK]
*The mansion's gates open forth and Gaius and the Pleb walk through, past a few servants standing to the side and whispering, reaching the front double-door of the building itself. The Pleb opens it, revealing an opulent interior with plush carpets across the floor and artwork adorning the walls, and moves to the side, gesturing for Gaius to enter first.*

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
"Good choice," Vanessa replies, nodding at the nondescript set of clothing Kirkesh chose, before adding teasingly, "And it fits so well!"

*Vanessa herself has switched to the clean white uniform worn by the inn's maids.*

"I'm planning to switch into some sort of commoner's dress after we leave," she explains, "But I thought that commoner's clothing might attract too much attention in an upscale inn."

"No, thanks to your markings, it was not difficult to follow you at all. We will do our best to do so successfully again."

"Remember to pick up or obscure the markings once you are one your way again," Yuriko cautioned. "No reason to give someone clues as to where we are going."

*Yuriko traveled, watching for dangers as well as signs of other travelers having passed this way recently. Again, she marked the path for the trio on any spots that were difficult to determine which way she went. After several hours, Yuriko looked for a good point to stop and rest, eating a cold meal along the way. Once there, Yuriko settled in and called upon her ancestors to watch over her as she rested.*[/SBLOCK]
