[Rannveig]

With some extra IC convo in-between cut out:

::SAY:: Echlin clarifies, "The roc was not infested. It was probably looking for food, and there were a lot of dead resen about. And me. And a lot of
other people. But i must have looked far more apetising."

::EMOTE:: Neyah snorts, glancing over at Echlin, "Probably a lot of people think that of you as well."

::EMOTE:: Echlin eyes Neyah for a few moments, expression thoughtful. Then, very suddenly, she raises her hand and flips her off.

::SAY:: Speaking to Neyah, Echlin simply exclaims, "I know that was a joke, but that is what I think!"

[Storage Locker Niche] (InUrCvRk) Mild
Several storage lockers line the rough red sandstone walls of this little niche where townsfolk can store items that they don't have room for elsewhere.
The area is poorly-lit. The area is completely silent.
You also notice a wooden trash barrel and a storage locker.
Obvious exits: out.
l in lock
In the storage locker you see ...
a birch-planked handcart
a large straight <redacted> branch
There is some room left in the storage locker.


Notice that the locker still has room inside of it.

[Zeldryn]

I almost forgot about this.

A week or so ago, in Clok Q&A voice chat on discord. We're talking about lore, and things get a little. Well. We were talking about fast food for some reason, and.. This was said. In my defense, here. It was a little bit of a, "You had to be there" kind of moment, but. Well.

Me: "So The old King, he hunted down all of those Hillfolk, right? For having the blonde hair and the blue eyes."

The others: "Right. Because of the light-- he was afraid of the inner light."

Me: "No, no. See. He was afraid of the golden arches. He was afraid of McDonalds. The golden hair-- the golden arches."

Everyone else: *crickets*

Me: "He was a Burger King."

[Smoothcoffee]

Just a little flattery...
Zoe exclaims, "Oh!, very nice!, bet it was a lovely chat, you two are such nice company!"
You amusedly say, "I am? That's real sweet."
[ESP-GRAY]: An onyx entity sympathetically says, "I feel that same disappointment nearly every day."

[Sneaky]

I submit this entry into the Book of Zoe

You head southwest.
[The Hanged Man, Bar] (shop) (InUr) Mild
You also notice a wooden trash barrel.
Also here: Zoe (briny).
Obvious exits: northeast.
You wave at Zoe.
Zoe beams happily at you!
You smile.
You sit down on a tall padded stool.
Zoe exclaims, "Cili!!"
You exclaim, "Zoe!"
Zoe exclaims, "Its a good day, I got to see, you.. and make you, eat your words!"
You laugh!
You say, "Alright."
You say, "Oh, I also brought this for you."
Zoe slams a pristine page on the table and slides it over to you. "behold, this ancient document!, that was, done by the smart folk, explaining it to use, that I found years ago, in a library ruins".
You open a ruched black wool sack displaying tiny abalone charms.
You remove a small sandstone bloodhare totem from the ruched black wool sack displaying tiny abalone charms (open) you are wearing.
You close a ruched black wool sack displaying tiny abalone charms.
You offer to give a small sandstone bloodhare totem to Zoe.
Zoe accepts your offer and is now holding a small sandstone bloodhare totem.
You say, "Hmm, let's see about this ancient document."
You accept Zoe's offer and are now holding an inscribed parchment letter.
You hum a tune.
You read an inscribed parchment letter (Common Letters) that you are holding:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A rushed and quick drawing of a "circle" with closed eyes, on a bed, a little blanket covering it, and an arrow points next to it with the words sleeping sun. Above the sleeping sun is a crescent moon, smiling happy and being awake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe goes oohh, at the bloodhare "bunny!!".
You say, "Shucks, I guess you're right."
You ask, "Oh wait... What's this?"
You open a white high-collared linen cloak.
Zoe hugs her small sandstone bloodhare totem close to herself.
Cili carefully adds some markings to the page while Zoe is distracted with the totem.
Zoe exclaims, "I'm glad I was able to convince you!"
You consider appending to the writing already on your inscribed parchment letter, which would ultimately be:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A rushed and quick drawing of a "circle" with closed eyes, on a bed, a little blanket covering it, and an arrow points next to it with the words sleeping sun. Above the sleeping sun is a crescent moon, smiling happy and being awake.
On closer inspection, it appears that the sleeping sun has one eye open, not asleep after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're satisfied with this draft, type write confirm to actually write it down.
You write on your inscribed parchment letter with a stick of writing charcoal.
You offer to give an inscribed parchment letter to Zoe.
Zoe pays no attention, as her focus is on the totem.
Zoe accepts your offer and is now holding an inscribed parchment letter.
You say, "I don't know, it looks awake to me."
Zoe reads an inscribed parchment letter.
Zoe rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Speaking to you, Zoe asks, "What time, does the sun usually start to shine?"
You say, "It's always shining."
You beam happily at Zoe!
Zoe asks, "It isnt!.. lets see, the sun wakes up at about, 5 bells, yes?"
Zoe opens a corset-laced pink suede satchel tied with multicolored ribbons.
You hum a tune.
You say, "Just because it's not shining here doesn't mean it's not shining elsewhere."
Zoe blatantly begins to draw, right in front of you.
You snort.
Zoe writes on an inscribed parchment letter with a stick of writing charcoal.
You accept Zoe's offer and are now holding an inscribed parchment letter.

a clock has been added, with the time showing 4:40.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe exclaims, "As you can see, the sun, is just waking up now, getting ready.. to start its day!!"
Zoe exclaims, "After, a good nights rest!"
You cover your face with your palm.
Cili glances at the page once more and then perks up.

Zoe accepts your offer and is now holding an inscribed parchment letter.
Zoe exclaims, "Because its not the moons time to sleep yes, once the sun finished breakfast, then the moon will come home, and the sun, will go out to play!"
Zoe says, "But lets see.."
Zoe reads an inscribed parchment letter.
Zoe exclaims, "Sure they might have had a broken clock.. but, its a good thing they have another, working clock!"
Zoe rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Zoe has a few words with a bartender.

[Brandt]

We were in a very remote place that people hardly ever come to, talking about a thing, and then:

Speaking to Safiyah, you quietly say, "As for your question, dearest, i am unsure. I do not have anyone that i am close to on the level that you are with sir zeldryn, but perhaps miss echlin? She is one of my closest friends."
Safiyah warmly exclaims, "Echlin!"
*exactly one second later*
Echlin arrives, carrying a stiletto.

[Kildr Dale, Ledge] (OutMtRkDt) Late Morning, Mild, Clear, Calm
A ledge protrudes from the steep northern valley wall, host to an enormous towering #pine that reaches up into the sky. Treetops and glimpses of the valley floor can be seen to the southeast, the glimmer of sunlight on water drawing attention to a large spring in the distance. Splitting the rocky nearby cliff is a large #crevice, its depths shrouded in shadow.
The area is mostly quiet.
Obvious paths: a towering pine (upward), a large crevice (dark).

You extinguish your beeswax candle.

You take a closer look at a towering pine (upward) in the area ...
The pine is tall and thick, a dense mat of needles beneath it. There don't seem to be any low branches on its trunk - climbing up to the nearest limbs would be a difficult task.
It could be climbed, and you'd estimate the base difficulty to be a SPOILER on the Karth Scale.
Considering your current skill and encumbrance, climbing it would involve some risk.
You feel fully rested.

You begin climbing up a towering pine.
(You will continue to silently repeat this action until you specifically stop or are otherwise prevented from continuing.)

(Eventually)

You climb up a towering pine (upward).
[Kildr Dale, Towering Pine] (Out) Late Morning, Mild, Clear, Calm
About halfway up the height of the towering pine a rocky #shelf juts out of the nearby valley wall. Large, thick #limbs grow below, stopping far above ground level, while smaller #branches grow up toward the treetop. Strange noises come from within a large #knothole, their source unknown.
The area is mostly quiet.
Obvious paths: some thick limbs, some branches toward the top of a towering pine (upward), a rocky shelf.

Treetops of the surrounding valley woods can be seen from the top of the towering pine, clusters of quaking aspen occasionally seen amongst the more common pines. A large bird's #nest has been built securely in the V of a split branch, made from sturdy sticks and twigs. Dense clusters of #branches grow down the trunk of the enormous tree, spindly with green needles.

How a serious moment got ruined by an accidental mistarget:

Echlin's pacing has now calmed, although she did spend a good few minutes staring off at nothing with the same troubled expression. Now, her attention shifts to Kissa again. "Hey," a thin leather boot sheath (closed) begins quietly, tentatively. "You know if...?" she trails off, glancing around awkwardly, then gives the smallest of shrugs with one shoulder.

[Brandt]

I'm not sure how funny this will be for those who weren't there, but this made my week so here we go. The background is that on thursday we had a vc with rias, and a friend mentioned the very big bad exams i have upcoming (at 1 am my time, and i realized i must sleep). Some jokes were made. The next day, in the evening, when i log in:
Logging in as Oanatn ...
... Success!
[#WHO] * Oanatn just logged in. Shouldn't they be studying right now?

But rias' dedication to ensuring i do not forget my irl duties goes even further! For lo, two hours later, in the dark and spooky depths of the thaelsh sewers, me and a friend were just... you know, chilling.

Zeldryn bobs his head to Eirlys as he strolls out of the Town Hall. "Hey-ho. How fairs?"
Echlin crawls in.
You glance at Echlin.

Echlin crawls east.

You slowly ask, "You uh. Had enough to drink there, seashell?"
Your small sapphire crystal pendant (slightly faded) pulses as you attempt to project your speech over the ESP network.
[ESP-GRAY]: A sapphire entity slowly asks, "You uh. Had enough to drink there, seashell?"
Eirlys glances up from an inscribed light paper scroll, offering, "Ello, ello." Then she's back to trying to read, her mouth sounding out the letters. Frowning, she sighs, resting it on her lap.
Eirlys blinks.

Eirlys slowly asks, "Was that an extraordinarily long baby, or was that echlin?"

You peer down a rickety ladder (downward) and see ...

[Corvus Outpost, Bottom of the Well] (InCvRkDt)  Cold
A fine layer of frost covers the rock walls and the metal rungs of the ladder leading up out of the
well. Patches of thick ice fill the low points in the uneven ground, and a cold mist creeps in from 
the passageway that rises to the south.
The area is poorly-lit. There is a thin cloud of fog here. The area is completely silent.

Zeldryn lays some boiled and buttered mudbugs on his lap, retrieves an electrum flatware fork, and carves off a piece of some maple-drizzled johnnycakes. He goes for one that's less soaked with emberberry juice than the rest, and has a smiddge of syrup remaining. When he chews, his expression grows thoughtful. He nods once, chewing thoroughly, then, as if to fully express his appreciation, he promptly rises from a barrel to spit the mouthful inside of a wooden trash bin.

You giggle!

a black cat with white accents leans into the gesture eagerly.
You say, "Awww now you like me."
Speaking to a black cat with white accents, Zeldryn simply offers, "..Right, Verungnr?"
Alia beams at the cat and strokes her chin.
Speaking to Aegeus, Zeldryn simply explains, "It's a cat. It's in Shadgard. Did I mention it's a cat? Clearly it eats souls."
Speaking to Zeldryn, Aegeus amusedly says, "A rationament of sound logic, sir zeldryn. I am unsure if i can picture it, however."
Speaking to Zeldryn, Adil agrees, "Indeed, normal cats have 9 lives, this one must be eating souls to replenish its lost ones."
Zeldryn squints down at a black cat with white accents again. He appears, at least, for a moment, indecisive. But it fades rapidly. "I will not pet you."
Alia stage whispers to a black cat with white accents "They're saying you eat souls. You should smack them if they pet you."

A black cat with white accents heads into a modest storage annex affixed to the side of Town Hall.
Speaking to Zeldryn, Echlin disaprovingly scolds, "She ran away! That wasn't nice of you at all!"
Alia stares at Zeldryn. "You just don't know cats." She attempts for a kind of haughty tone, but fails rather miserably. Her grin only adds to the amusing attempt.
Zeldryn opens his mouth as if to speak a reply to Chione/Calandra, then he's scolded by Echlin, and he turns his attention to her. "Oh-- fine. I'll apologize."
Echlin nods quickly.
[TO Echlin (OOC)]: Now, if one of those two pets her and she does smack them I'm going to laugh my ass off
Zeldryn glances toward a modest storage annex affixed to the side of Town Hall, politely waiting and crossing his arms over his chest beneath a striated dark-violet wool poncho.
Speaking to Echlin, Adil confusedly says, "Err, but cats..."
Chione/Calandra says, "It'd be funny if someone gave that cat a pendant. Occasionally, we'd hear purring or meows on the network."
A black cat with white accents arrives.
Adil appears to pale visibly, the blood draining from his face!
You cackle!
Zeldryn cackles quietly to himself.
Zeldryn gets up off a bench.
Speaking to Chione/Calandra, you say, "Oh my, I love it."
Chione/Calandra grins at you.
Echlin giggles at Chione/Calandra!
Zeldryn strolls over to a black cat with white accents, then props himself on a knee before it. He meets it's gaze passively without blinking.
Adil mutters, "Please no cats, i wont be able to sleep."
Zeldryn kneels down.
Chione/Calandra grins at Adil.
Speaking to a black cat with white accents, Zeldryn simply states, "I'm sorry you're a soul-eating daemon. But you obviously are a scrapper, livin' down here. So you and me? We're fine."
Adil tilts his head sideways as he gazes down at the a black cat with white accents.
Zeldryn looks at a black cat with white accents and sighs.

Aegeus laughs!
Chione/Calandra giggles at a black cat with white accents!
[FROM Aegeus (OOC)]: oh my god the perfect matching of those cat emotes
Speaking to a black cat with white accents, Echlin helpfully encourages, "Very good!"
Zeldryn pulls his hand back as he's swiped, cursing idly in at least three languages as he retreats to a bench. "frackin' arsehole daemonspawn."
Zeldryn stands up.
Zeldryn walks over to a bench.
Adil grins.
Zeldryn sits down on a bench.
A black cat with white accents heads west.

Zeldryn angles a finger outward toward the market, sagely declaring, "Sizzlin' Sam needs competition.

Spectrum: Suddenly, all high-level CVC disappears. The new meta becomes scathing editorials.
Wish: Roflmao
Spectrum: We all abandon our weapons entirely, the infestation rages out of control, and the highest form of combat becomes guy standing there having passive aggressive poetry slam rap battles before quietly walking away to a Riot of applause.

[Shadgard, Bindlestick Alley] (OutUr) Midnight, Mild, Cloudy, Calm
This alley appears to be a depository for abandoned storage bins and other such debris. At the center of the alley is a tiny cobblestone plaza with an old water #pump in the very middle, next to a large broken grate. Narrow walkways lead to the north, west, and south, though there is no passage to the east, the way barred by the rear facades of several homes. One metal-barred door leads into the back of what appears to be a particularly fine Shadgard home.
You're barely able to see at all in the near-complete darkness. The area is mostly quiet.
Also here: (npc)a black cat with white accents.
Obvious paths: west, north, south.

You blink.

You surprisedly mutter, "..Holy crap."

You open a double-buckled black leather utility belt.

A black cat with white accents accepts your offer and is now holding some linen fishing line.

Zeldryn smirks triumphantly, idly pulling a black cat with white accents around for a moment, indulging it's fixation before releasing the line for it to tangle with on it's lonesome. Eventually, he rises, offers the creature a nod, and slowly retreats westward. "Yer' alright." He offers as he goes.

A scruffy mottled black-and-brown coydog stealthily moves in.

Zeldryn freezes.

You think to yourself, "..Oh no. I've been seen."

You glance casually about the area.

A black cat with white accents gets her paws all tangled up in the linen fishing line and lies down protectively over it.

Speaking to a scruffy mottled black-and-brown coydog, you hesitantly state, "..This isn't what it looks like."

You feel the blood drain from your face!

A scruffy mottled black-and-brown coydog stealthily moves south.

You squint at a black cat with white accents.
You glance to the south.

Speaking to a black cat with white accents, you frustratedly insist, "...You win this round."

Zeldryn stalks westward, grumbling something about daemons and sand.

You think to yourself, "...No one's ever even going to believe me."

You think to yourself, "..It can't talk. Who cares?"

You think to yourself, "..I know who really won, though."

You think to yourself, "..DAMMIT!"
