Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

"Divination? Bah, that stuff's a bit of hooey if you ask me. You've got to take the future forcefully into your own hands, not live in fear of what some crazed madman o the street tells you--that's the Erilan way, eh? I'm sure you know what I mean--I seem to recall that you were at the top of the class for my Unorthodox Uses for Forceful Evocations course."

(OOC: I'm sneaky--I actually think I can save time overall by adding this roleplaying now )

[SBLOCK]“I don’t put much stock in it myself, but I have seen it work on occasion especially from this woman. She applied for entry to the academy some years ago and was rejected, so she’s not formally trained. It matters not to me, but I just thought someone at the academy might find it of interest or know someone who would.”[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:

"Ah. Thanks for the thought then, but the Erilan Academy only accepts the best and brightest in real magic...forceful universal modifications. Divination training...well, I guess only a silly place like Cybele really gives much thought to it."

[SBLOCK]“Thank you for your time sir, good to see you again.”

*Zaeryn turns to leave with his letter still in hand, and organizes to have it sent to Cybele.*[/SBLOCK]

"You too, lad" the dean replies, as he ducks into his office.

*Valyssa follows Zaeryn as he heads to the Courier's Office to get the letter delivered to Cybele:*

"You're a sweet guy, Zaeryn...you know that?" she comments, as she sees him persevering on Rysalla's behalf.

*After having to wait for several hours in line, the clerk eventually gives Zaeryn a long and complicated form to fill out. Once completed, a different clerk takes a look at the forms.*

"Looks like you're all set with this Mr...Zaeryn," she reads his name off the sheet, "Just give in the 5 silver piece delivery fee and you're all done."

[SBLOCK]“Well it’s nice that you think so,” he says, “You’re a sweetheart for waiting with me while I do this.”

*Zaeryn spends the time waiting in line talking with Valyssa about their pasts. When he finally gets to the front of the line, he fills out the form and hands over the five silvers, finally content he has done all he can.*

“Guess that’s cut a large part out of our sightseeing for the day, I just hope the line at the supply shop isn’t that long,” he laughs as they head over to it.

*Where he picks up a replacement pen for himself, a few vials of ink, and a few dozen sheets of papyrus.*

OOC: Tricksy GM, I was tempted to leave it undone just to thwart your timesaving. [/SBLOCK]

“Well it’s nice that you think so,” he says, “You’re a sweetheart for waiting with me while I do this.”

*Valyssa smiles and gives Zaeryn a kiss.*

“Guess that’s cut a large part out of our sightseeing for the day, I just hope the line at the supply shop isn’t that long,” he laughs as they head over to it.

*Fortunately, the supply shop, unlike the courier, which is known for its inefficiency and red tape, has almost no wait at all, and they quickly get out with the supplies. Even so, by the time they finish, there is not that much time before they are supposed to meet Alyria.*

(OOC: Told ya so Thinking about it though, Erilan was going to reject her for sure, so isn't it nicer that you at least got to know that in time to send it to Cybele )

[SBLOCK]*Seeing as how it’s almost time to meet Alyria, they head towards the dock area. Hoping to show Valyssa just one more location before they leave, he takes a path through another magical park they didn’t explore the previous day.*[/SBLOCK]

*As the evening approaches, Zaeryn leads Valyssa through a small park where fireflies of many different colours float lazily through the air, brightening the place with a beautiful glow.*

"Wow Zaeryn, how pretty!" Valyssa says, smiling as she looks around at the beautiful lights.

[SBLOCK]“They are dazzling to look at, like a tremendous cluster of soaring magelights, and I think a fitting end to our jaunt around Erilan.”

*Zaeryn replies, smiling as they watch the fireflies move all around them for a several minutes...eventually breaking the ethereal otherworldly feel of the moment, he says:*

“I suppose we’d better hurry now, we wouldn’t want to be late meeting Alyria.”[/SBLOCK]
