[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7550303, member: 79141"] [b]Session 210, Part Two - Flida's Finest[/b] Flida’s shop was just across the street from Innwung’s pickle barrel. A thick faded blue canvas overhung her booth, and piles of blankets, hand towels, rolls of unbleached rough-spun cotton, and other household linens formed a wall of fabric. Behind the piles of goods, a lanky orc woman with a broad smile called out, “Need any clothes mended, loves?” She had stringy blond hair held in place by a kerchief decorated with rose patterns, and wore a well-tailored tunic and trousers. A pocketed apron held a pair of small scissors, shears, a measuring stick, and a long length of twine knotted at intervals. As they neared she gestured them closer, speaking in a hushed voice, “Let’s get out of the sun. It’s so bright today.” She must have recognised them from earlier. Inside, Flida was initially severe, angry and condescending because she expected help ages ago. She prodded Glaucia in the chest with a measuring stick when she tried to pull rank. She did recognised them from earlier, when Innwung was taken, and said she felt terrible for putting ideas in his head (when they were drinking together during the last, enforced celebration.) Flida confirmed that she had met with Executore Nieves, and repeated what she told her: that about a week after the Great Eclipse many people spotted something large in the sky, glowing like maybe it had dozens of candles all over it. It was at least the size of a fishing boat, and after a few moments it simply disappeared. People talked about it for a few days, but then some of them started going missing, and those who asked questions were beaten and arrested. Now no one talks about it. Then the Fool’s Day celebration was cancelled, and ever since then things had become steadily stranger and more dangerous. Flida had a customer in Cadagyr District—a housemaid for a wealthy house. Flida asked her to deliver a message to the Executores Lodge. She never saw her customer again, and it was weeks before an executore came by. The executore mentioned she was going to investigate the Jaula, but Flida never saw her again either. Flida warned them not to get involved with the city guard again, as they had a habit of arresting outsiders and taking them to the governor, Lord Cadagyr.
