Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

Yuriko:

*There is a small changing screen to the side of the room that Yuriko can use, though there is of course the issue of getting to the pool in the centre afterwards.*

[SBLOCK]“I might have a word to someone at the academy before we leave about her abilities, I’ve never seen her do that before. Usually she would tell me about something she had dreamt the night before, which sometimes came true. Never mind about the first part, Rysalla’s feelings could have some influence on the wording, after all who knows how uncontrolled divination works.”

*Zaeryn replies, thinking about the last half of the prophecy for a few moments before articulating his thoughs on it.*

“As for the last half of the prophecy, it doesn’t sound like the fun trip to Eldiz we were planning. Looks like there might be some conflict beyond our control, involving some kind of undead forces. Oh well, we’ll worry about that when we come to it,” he says grinning and lightening the mood.

OOC: Yes. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[sblock]*Yuriko made a small motion to Rin to follow her, and then walked to the changing screen. Once there, Yuriko quickly undressed, and helped Rin if she needed it. Yuriko lay her clothes neatly and looked to see if there was a robe behind the changing screen. Yuriko unknotted her hair knot, and lay the knot on rest of her clothes - it's disturbance would let her know if her items were tampered with.*

*When she was undressed, Yuriko looked to Rin to see if she was ready as well. If Rin was, then (either wearing a robe or not) Yuriko humbly walked from behind the screen to the place to be annoited.*[/sblock]

"And not just that but spiders too--yuck! They gross me out..." Valyssa replies, thinking about it, "And you said that sometimes they didn't come true, right? Well maybe this one won't either, I guess, but there's something about it that just sends a shiver done my spine..."

(OOC: Well, I am an amateur actor of sorts, and I've even played Hamlet once, so I'm not upset to be called dramatic...its good for a GM to be dramatic, right? )

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*There are a few simple robes behind the screen, although perhaps kept there in general and not meant for this specific ritual. Still, she and Rin can probably wear the robes down to the centre of the room and then quickly remove them and duck into the pool after they are anointed in order to best preserve their modesty.*

[SBLOCK]“I think the spider might be metaphorical in that there’s someone behind the scenes pulling the strings. It does have that feeling of authenticity doesn’t it, but lets not worry about it for now and make the most of a lovely day,” he says reaching across the table to hold her hand in shared comfort.

OOC: Dramatic is never bad, especially when it presages what’s to come...or not. [/SBLOCK]

"Yes, let's," Valyssa agrees, shaking off thoughts of the waitress's strange words as she smiles and takes Zaeryn's hand, dipping some of the breaded cheese into a sauce with the other hand and taking a bite.

"Mmm...the service may be creepy here, but the food is good--I can see why you decided to come back," Valyssa jokes, with a little smile.

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn grins as he dips some breaded cheese himself, popping a piece into his mouth. He chews thoughfully for a while before replying:*

“Guess you’ve got to expect that in a magical culture sometimes,” before devouring several more pieces.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Hmm...maybe...or maybe there are just people like her in every culture, and we just haven't seen them yet," Valyssa ponders, eating some more thoughtfully.

[SBLOCK]“We’ll find out when we get to Eldiz I guess!” he laughs. “Valyssa, I don’t suppose you have a few sheets of parchment, a pen and some ink in your purse do you?”[/SBLOCK]
