[Nexus] Mithar Keep

[Gullara]

[Front Door]

"I was hoping to talk to miss Cessie Mithar. I hope it won't be too much trouble bothering her at home like this. My name's Alice Smith." The bunnygirl says, giving Kirin a friendly smile.

[Lost_Deep]

Front Door

"Allright. Please take a seat, I will let her know you have arrived."

Kirin will walk off, looking for Cessie. With a bit of luck, this will not mess up continuity.

[Reinholdt]

[Foyer]

Nadas chooses to stay quiet about this situation. He's given his helpful information and what he's studied on the topic wasn't about someone injected.

[Gullara]

[Front Door]

Alice steps inside and waits by the door for Kirin to fetch Cessie. She looks around, but doesn't do much else while she waits.

[Shadowcaller]

[Front Door==>Library]

Kirin will find Cessie about to leave the library with an earth elemental carrying various equipment, such as a map and rather heavy clothing.

Then she notices Kirin, "Ah, good that you're here. I was just about to go looking for you. I planned to visit a dragon graveyard for a cure to Harnel, I have made through research of the location." She explains.

"Or did you want to tell me something?"

[Guest Rooms - Harnel]

As Harnel is resting in his bed he can suddenly her a soothing voice whisper in his ear, "Do you need help?"

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Harnel had been laying quietly in bed, staring at the ceiling as he thought about things. Specifically, how helpless he felt. He wanted to be out there, finding a cure as well! if only he could get up and go, but no, he's to dangerous. So here he stays...

and then a voice. that isn't Cessie's voice, that's for sure. Harnel says aloud, as werll as thinking back, "Who are you?"

[Lost_Deep]

Library

"Oh! I would love to come! And, yeah, there is an Alice Smith here, and she want to see you. When are you leaving?"

Kirin is thouroughly distracted by the thought of an adventure! It's a good thought. And she gets to help heal Harnel!

[UncleWolf]

Ariel, dressed as she usually does, raises an eyebrow at the exterior of the Keep before shaking her head slightly. It was rather less modest than her own parents' place, but as they had agreed, this wasn't her Cessie.

With a box under her arm, she heads to the door and knocks on it.

[Shadowcaller]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

"Me? I'm called Samarra, but you may call me Sam. I believe we can help each other out if you're willing to listen to me." The voice whispers back.

It sounds more like a voice coming from the outside then inside his head really, as if someone had lied next to him, whispering in his ear.

Library

"I'm leaving as soon as possible really, but you said someone wanted to see me? Did she say why?" The sorceress asks as she goes up to the catgirl, towards the door.

[Foyer]

"Ah well, I suppose getting the bones of a dragon is our only hope then. Thanks for your assistance." He makes a little bow before exiting the house.

[Lost_Deep]

Library

"No, she didn't say. I'll go get ready right away, if there's nothing more you want. Oh, I should grab some throwing knives out of the armory."

Kirin will rush away unless stopped, to go get ready as quick as she can.

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Harnel is immediately made suspicious!

"And just how would you intend to help me?"

[Morty]

[Foyer]

Looks like Cessie invited us in a something of a bad time, Dorota comments once Arik leaves.

[Shadowcaller]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

"Let me explain, my blood is in you, that's how we can communicate." 'Sam' explains. "You must have undergone some pretty major changes at this point and you're losing control, isn't that so?"

Library

"Of course." Replies and let's Kirin walk away before she realizes something. Did her servant just want to go with an adventure with her? Oh gods, this was going back to the old days wasn't it?

This was going to be filled with horrible monsters and ancient dwarven death machines who wanted to eat her soul.

Filled with dread about the incoming 'adventure' the sorceress goes down the stairs to meet Alice and open the door for whoever else that was at the door.

Behind her the earth elemental follows along obediently.

"Yes, is there something I can help you with?" Cessie asks as she's half-way down the staircase, giving the bunny woman an rather odd look. She had never seen her before. "I believe you were looking for me."

While she speaks an wind elemental flies over Alice's head and goes to open up the door for Ariel.

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

harnel looks at his hand, the hooked, serrated claw, "Yeah, you could say that" the distrust is evident in his voice and thoughts. Sam just declared him or herself to be a demon, after all

[Reinholdt]

[Foyer]

"Yes. We should probably excuse ourselves for the time being." Nadas suggests.

[Slii Arhem]

Foyer

Kashi comes down the stairs, the not so little dragon (probably) spotting Dorota and Nadas in the foyer.

He was just looking for something to eat, but new people is way better than food! He quickly walks over, his ten feet of serpentine body trailing behind his head.

"Snyuu! <Hi!>" the odd magical effect that causes all his bleats to translate into comprehensible draconic may not be worth much here, unless Nadas or Dorota have picked up some of the language.

[UncleWolf]

Entrance

Ariel enters the Keep with a slight smile on her face, but seeing Cessie busy talking to someone else at the moment, stays quiet and simply watches for now.

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

"Miss Mithar? Yes, my name is Alice Smith. I was hoping I could talk to you for a little while. You see, I'm starting an online newspaper, but right now I don't have a lot to put in it. I thought that I might start out by interviewing some of the council members." She looks Cessie over with a keen eye. "Is now a bad time? We could arrange something later if you'd like."

[Shadowcaller]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

"I could teach you a way of controlling it if you like but in turn I need help as well, all I want you to do is delivering a message, or have someone do it for you. Sounds fair to you?" The voice whispers back.

[Entrance]

Cessie smiles back at Ariel as she descends to the bottom of the stairs to meet 'Alice'.

She nods politely to the reporter before replying, "Nice to see you Alice. And I'd love to help out but now might be a bad time, how long would this interview take? I'm preparing on a little journey you see." The sorceress explains.

[Morty]

[Foyer]

Dorota blinks, taken aback. Uh... hello. Are you a resident here? She asks not really sure what to make of this. She wasn't expecting to be greeted by a... dragon, by the looks of it.

[Reinholdt]

[Foyer]

Nadas has studied many a language! He can even speak cat.
Of course, reading about languages and comprehending someone speaking them is two different things.

All the same, Nadas provides a nervous "Greetings."

[Slii Arhem]

Foyer

Kashi nods at Dorota amiably, baring his teeth in a somewhat disconcerting smile.

"Snyui~! <Yep, I'm Harnel's pet. He keeps me around because he likes gold!>" Well that's rather blunt. Kashi, even though he has gained quite a bit in size lately, is still very childlike in temperment.

He moves a bit closer to the two, taking a deep sniff for some reason. Maybe they'd like to play? He knows Harnel is on time out right now, and Kirin is a grump, but there's no reason he can't play with these two...

Right?

[Halae]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

Harnel narrows his eyes at the ceiling. He doesn't like the sounds of this, "And just what sort of message is this you're talking about? And how exactly would I 'Control' it?"

[Morty]

[Foyer]

Oh. I see. Dorota is even more confused. Apart from the usual smells you'd expect from a young woman, she smells of an alchemical laboratory. And... you bring him gold?

[Reinholdt]

[Foyer]

"He says he's Harnel's mount and that... wait. You are capable of speaking Draconic?" Nadas asks Dorota. He was translating for her, but if she can speak it better than he can, great!

Nadas smells of book, drow, and a little demon.

[Slii Arhem]

Foyer

"Snyyuu. <Nope! I make him gold. If you've got a cookie or something, I could show you!>" Maybe they'll be impressed? Most people just shake their heads and call him a nuisance when they see what he can do, except Harnel of course.

Since they haven't seemed at all afraid of him, Kashi will come even closer now, stopping at a respectful distance away.

[Gullara]

[Entrance]

"Maybe I could just ask you a few questions now and we can do something a bit more in depth later? It would give me an idea of what to talk about later, I think." Alice suggests hopefully. She does seem eager to get something accomplished while she's here.

[Morty]

[Foyer]

Er... sorry, but I don't have any food with me. Gods, this is awkward. Cessie really did invite them at a bad time.

[Reinholdt]

Foyer

"I'm no chef, so please don't eat me either."

[Shadowcaller]

[Guest Room - Harnel]

"I'm a prisoner, a group of gnolls have trapped me in a summoning ritual and I need to send a message to some of my allies to free me. If you agree to this, I will teach you how to remain sane despite what my blood no doubt have done to you." 'Sam' explains gently.

[Entrance]

The sorceress raises an eyebrow, "I suppose that's okay." She shrugs. "Just ask away, I don't mind."
