<b>The inn…</b>

<b>The inn…</b>

<br><onine> You all return to the inn and go about your various business, Yengo eavesdropping on Magpie and Tara, Anona presumably to experiment with flames and Vana to stare at an object perhaps.  The Magistrate has disappeared for the mean time, but the time for the meeting in the courtyard he prearranged is approaching..

Line 27:

<br><Anona> "We'll do great if I'm not forced to fight off Anathema single-handedly at every turn. It's not as if I did it intentionally."

<br><Anona> "We'll do great if I'm not forced to fight off Anathema single-handedly at every turn. It's not as if I did it intentionally."

<br><Yengo> "Yes... that's rather impressive. I've never seen an Anathema, but I've heard enough stories to know holding your own against one is no easy task."

<br><Yengo> "Yes... that's rather impressive. I've never seen an Anathema, but I've heard enough stories to know holding your own against one is no easy task."

<b>In the kitchen…</b> 

−

<br><onine> Tara sets you about peeling potatoes as soon as she sees you.

−

<br>* Vana does so obediently.

−

<br><onine> You work in relative quiet, both of you are not the most conversational souls in creation.  It is a while before Tara speaks

−

<br><onine> "Vana?  Do you have a mean streak?"

−

<br><onine> She has a slight mischievous grin on her face.

−

<br><Vana> "A what? A mean streak?" She looks confused.

−

<br><onine> "Yes."

−

<br><Vana> "I... I don't think so..." She looks back at the potato she's peeling.

−

<br><onine> "That’s a shame, you wound enjoy this as much as you should... You and I are about to bring tremendous suffering to another being, and do a terrible deed...."

−

<br><onine> She grins widely.  She doesn’t smile much, but she has a very pretty face when she smiles.

−

<br>* Vana is unsure what to say. "Um..."

−

<br><onine> "Vana you have been conscripted on the 'Bathe Magpie Caper."

−

<br>* Vana blinks, blinks again, then bursts out laughing. It's the first time she's ever laughed... much like Tara's smile, it's a wonderful thing to see. "Bathe Magpie? Is that the horrible deed?"

−

<br><onine> "That’s right... we will ambush her before dinner.  You and I will have to er, woman-handle her into the tub while Yengo guards the door."

−

<br>* Vana is smiling widely. "Are you sure just asking her wouldn't work?"

−

<br><onine> "And we always have the blackmail angle... no bath no new coat."

−

<br><Vana> "True."

−

<br><onine> Tara heaves a pot of potatoes onto the stove for the chef who thanks both of you.

−

<br><onine> "Ready?"

−

<br>* Vana shakes her head a bit. "What do I have to do? Just grab her and dunk her in the tub?"

−

<br><onine> "Well, we have to drag her in... so yes."

−

<br><onine> She leads you out to the courtyard where the others wait

−

<br><Vana> "Let's hope she forgives us for this..."

<br><onine> "Oh we know, but we need to do something fun first, right miss Vana?"

<br><onine> "Oh we know, but we need to do something fun first, right miss Vana?"

<br>* Magpie catches the wink, and turns around in a circle suspiciously. "What's this about?"

<br><Magpie> The crow flaps into the hallway. Landing on a ornate but ugly vase, it tilts its head inquiringly. "Caw?"

<br>* Yengo is simply whistling along, dress in hand, wondering just how dinner's going to be.

<br>* Yengo presses the dress into Tara's hands. "You have the patience of one of the Dragons," he says, trying to joke. Trying not to think about what he overheard earlier.

<b>Inn’s Common Room</b>

−

<br><onine> Now then, you are sitting across from Epheri in the inn's common room, relatively spacious, but empty at present, there are very few guests these days, even though this is one of the few remaining inns in Noble

−

<br><onine> "Are you *really* going to buy her clothes?"  Epheri grins

−

<br><Anona> "Of course. When I say something, I mean it. It's hardly a big deal."

−

<br><onine> "Wow."  she looks suitably shocked.  "Some day huh?"

−

<br>* Anona affects a manner of virtue. "Why, one must respect and honor those below you just as they must obey those higher. Surely replacing a jacket I destroyed qualifies."

−

<br><onine> Epheri sighs.  "Well...looks like we're stuck together again..."

−

<br><Anona> "You seem less than totally pleased at that, cousin."

−

<br><onine> "Of course I'm not *pleased* with it, I'm getting punished for something *you* did"

−

<br><Anona> "oh, where's your sense of adventure? For all it's a "punishment", getting to chase after a dangerous Anathema is actually pretty special."

−

<br><onine> "Whatever you say... this is going to be a nightmare I can tell..."  She folds her arms

−

<br><onine> Another voice from the door chimes in.  "Excuse me."

−

<br><Anona> "Yes?"

−

<br><onine> There is a man, well dressed, definitely a patrician going by the clothing.  He would be in his fifties you would say, and definitely mortal.  He would have been quite a charmer in his day, but those are long behind him now.  He looks a little haggard and stressed.

−

<br><Anona> "Can I help you?"

−

 <br><Xiao> "Would one of you be able to tell me where I could find the Magistrate Mnemon Diamandus?"

−

<br><Anona> "Well, I don't know where he is right this minute, but I could let him know you are looking for him... ah...?" Anona invites the man to identify himself.

−

<br><Xiao> He clears his throat and bows his head "My apologies, I am Kain Starflower, the Sub-Prefect of Noble."

−

<br><Xiao> "Not here... I was told he had just arrived..."

−

<br><Anona> "He had, but we just finished a meeting with him. I'm Tepet Anona. I'm serving as one of Diamandus' archons." Anona realizes too late that the sub-prefect of Noble doubtless recognizes her name in a less-than-great context... 

−

<br><Xiao> "Oh..."  He looks a little displeased... "A pleasure... yes... wait, archons?"

−

<br><Anona> "Yes. Myself, Epheri here, and the other two are currently, er. Otherwise involved."

−

<br><Xiao> "Oh... I.. I see.. Then maybe you can help me, are you the First Archon?"

−

<br><Xiao> As he says this, a soaking wet Magpie comes careening through the dining room, followed by Vana who leaps gracefully off a table and on top of the fleeing child, netting her perfectly in an impressive tackle... right into the Sub-Prefect...

−

<br><Anona> "Oh, dear."

−

<br><Anona> "If the usual holds, the First Archon shall be along shortly."

−

<br><Xiao> Meanwhile in the dining hall, as you land Vana, Magpie careens into you at high speed, driving you back into a pile with yet another man, well dressed who appeared to be talking to Anona and Epheri at the time, indeed Vana leapt up onto the table the two Dragonbloods were sitting on and leaped over them impressively!

<br>* Vana does at least manage to grab the girl in a hold before falling into him.
