Devil's Deal IC 10: The Garmine Cinematic Universe

[Hazuki]

Niramour's dinner is finished up soon enough, and Nephy gets to her feet. "I'm departing to my quarters." She announces, as Cousin Sharo collects the dishes.

~

When Luzille wakes up in the turtle-themed room she'd accidentally chosen on the mural, she's treated to a magical cleansing and walks out of her room, out into the Garmine morning...and finds that a heavy hail is waiting for her.

[Archmage1]

After she finishes, and assists Cousin Sharo with the dishes, Niramour follows Nephy to her room, and knocks on the door.
"Nephy? Do you mind if I come in?"

[PersonMan]

Luzille looks out at the weather and sighs. If she hadn't been alone, she would probably have turned around, gone back inside to weather the...weather. She considers a few things, and looks around for a courier - she isn't sure if they'll be out in the weather and isn't keen on going out without knowing exactly where she's headed in the middle of a hailstorm. If she sees one, she'll signal and ask for Charname's location, carefully bringing her hat into the relative safety of her clothes.

[Hazuki]

Nephy opens the door for Niramour to enter through and closes it behind her. She finds herself in a relatively tidy room, where one wall is occupied by shelf upon shelf of various tools, books, and knicknacks, another by a mirror with a place for a prismatic rod and what seems to be a wardrobe. The final wall has a bed pushed up against it.

"What is it you wished my presence for?" Nephy asks.

~

Luzille finds that the sky is as full as ever with potential couriers, and a large taloned bird flies down to hear her request. She eventually finds herself near the Western borders of Garmine, and a sturdy blue house that's covered in blue flowers. The door is particularly large, and takes up most of what would normally be the front of a house.

When the door eventually opens, it's to reveal...mostly just Charname. "Luzille. Good morning."

[Archmage1]

Walking through the door, Niramour looks briefly around, before her eyes lock onto Nephy's, and a small smile graces her face.
"Shandri, who is a human wizard, has agreed to consider you as a student. She'll probably require that you work for her as well, to pay for it. Are you interested?"

[PersonMan]

"Morning," Luzille says with a smile. "Can I, ah, hop in? I don't mean to be rude, but, you know..." she gestures around her at the falling hail.

[Hazuki]

Nephy frowns slightly when Niramour gives her the news and briefly looks away. "I...really?"

~

Charname steps to the side, revealing a room. "Come in."

[PersonMan]

Luzille smiles and steps inside, focusing on her hostess rather than taking a look around the room as she often does. "How's your morning been so far?" She asks.

[Hazuki]

"I've done my hair and my fur, finished some light reading I'd been meaning to get back to, and I was just about to have second breakfast." Charname says, as she stands tall in the suspiciously large room.

[Archmage1]

Niramour nods, and leans back against the door.
"Really. The main issue, I suspect, is probably going to be you working your apprenticeship. Would you like me to try and help you bargain?"

[PersonMan]

"Second breakfast?" Luzille asks, realizing Charname has probably been up for quite a bit longer than she has. "I'll be playing catch-up all day if you're already a meal ahead of me!"

[Hazuki]

Nephy goes silent for several moments, biting her bottom lip, before snapping her hand forward for a handshake. "I-I thank you. Th-This is very helpful and you are a very n-nice individual."

~

"I don't need a lot of sleep." Charname says. "One of the benefits of being a giant cat woman."

[Archmage1]

Niramour accepts the proffered handshake, and nods, firmly.
"We'll meet her tomorrow, then. I'll be working in the stables until the afternoon, but I'll clean up, and meet you here? Or is there somewhere else you'd like to meet?"

[Hazuki]

"Umm..." Nephy scratches her head. "By the bakery?"

[Archmage1]

Niramour smiles, and nods.
"Of course. I'll send you a message once I've cleaned up, and we can meet there. And maybe buy something delicious, as a snack."
She starts walking towards the door, before pausing, and looking back at Nephy.
"I'll see you tomorrow, unless there's something else you'd like to talk about?"

[PersonMan]

"So you get an early start every day?" Luzille asks. "That does sound pretty handy. More time for hobbies!"

[Hazuki]

"Umm..." Nephy visibly thnks. "Um, no. I don't think so. Believe so. My apologies." She stares. "Farewell."

~

"More time to get bored, too." Charname says. "Sometimes I just go for a walk until my favorite people wake up."

[Archmage1]

Niramour smiles softly at the younger woman, before she departs, leaving the room, and planning on heading back to the Neverleaf.

[PersonMan]

Luzille nods. "I take it you know Garmine pretty well, then? If you've been here for a while, and take walks some mornings?" She asks.

[Hazuki]

When Niramour arrives at the Neverleaf, she finds something truly unthinkable...a quiet collection of people who're at the teahouse for a relaxing drink.

~

"I know everything." Charname puts her hands on her hips. 'With some exceptions."

[Archmage1]

Having eaten, and not recognizing anyone there immediately, Niramour calmly heads up to her room, to sleep for the night and get up at dawn.

[Hazuki]

When Niramour awakes from a peaceful night of sleep, it's to the tune of hail in the morning. And beyond that, more hail.

[Archmage1]

Awakening to the sound of Hail, Niramour groans. Her muscles were rather sore from the workout the previous day, and today was not going to be fun.
"It couldn't be easy, could it. And the weather was so nice yesterday too."
Still, as she stretches, and prepares to face the day, a smile graces her face, despite the pending less than fun trip. After she's had a chance to rinse off her face, get dressed, and use the bathroom, she sets out, heading down the stairs, in hopes of snagging a sandwich for breakfast along the way to the stables.

[PersonMan]

Luzille smirks. "Everything? I'll have to ask you about that some time, exceptions or no," she says. "What're your favorite parts of Garmine?"

[Hazuki]

Niramour makes her way to the stables, with a sandwich, but utterly pelted by hail once she finally gets there and steps through the door. The main room seems empty initially, but she manages to peer outside in time to see that various shelters have already been set-up across the field, and Pecoque is moving between them while wearing a hat with a very wide brim that seems impervious to the icy shards.

~

"I, er." Charname scratches her head. "I don't know. My house is nice."

[Archmage1]

Munching on her somewhat icily crunchy sandwich as she walks, and flinching occasionally, as a particularly painful bit of hail hits her, Niramour is quite relieved when she gets inside the stable, spending a moment to enjoy with a certain cruel pleasure the sounds of the hail hitting the roof, before she looks around, glad to see that all the animals were in shelter out of the hail. Not wanting to leave the nice, hail-free stables, Niramour walks over, so Pecoque would easily be able to see her, and waits for his attention to come her way, spending her time eating her sandwich.

[PersonMan]

"Well, feeling at home at home is good," Luzille replies. "Would you like to go out and have something to eat? Well, once the hail stops, ideally, but if it doesn't..."

[Raunchel]

Nossis looks into the water. It's a nice sight, taking her away from her darker thoughts. She leans forwards, almost feeling drawn by it, why can of course just be her own reflection. Nossis always liked seeing herself. Her eyes widen when she sees a face that's not her own or even that of another who is nearby. It's actually in the water, almost as though it is part of the water. "Oh! I'm sorry. I was just looking and have to confess that I hadn't expected to find this place taken. I'm truly sorry flr disturbing you."

[Hazuki]

Pecoque seems to notice Niramour eating her sandwich, but only comes over once she's finished with it.

"Morning." He nods. "I've got helmets and cloaks in storage, if you're up to working."

~

"Well, it is time for second breakfast." Charname reminds the duelist. "The hail doesn't bother me, but maybe you could crawl underneath me to keep clear of it?" She lifts up one of her paws.

~

The gooey individual's head bobs before Nossis. "Oh, sorry. I misinterpreted your looking as...but if you didn't...well, you know. Sorry."

[Archmage1]

Looking up from her sandwich to see Pecoque right there, Niramour smiles somewhat wearily at him.
"Of course. Where's the storage? The hail is rather unpleasant, but the animals seem to be ok, which is good?"
