<Kotono> ---
<Kotono> > It is...empty. Silent. You stand by Mimi's stall and see nothing at all. Not a single person is around. Only absolute silence reigns over Freeport Rock.
<Kotono> * Lucy checks the time with a frown. It won't be the first time she teleported somewhere in a different time zone... she thinks.
<Kotono> > The clocks all read 2:39. None of them are working - they're all stuck on that number.
<Kotono> * Lucy takes the best one, and upon reflection one more as a present. Then, with that done, she proceeds slowly towards the tavern where Bolethon was recruited. There is no rush; instead, her clairvoyance and clairaudience sensors get deployed around her so that surprising her would be much more difficult than usually.
<Kotono> > OOC: Perception.
<Kotono> <Lucy> roll 1d20+23
<Kotono> <Serith> Lucy roll for Serith < 31 > [d20=8]
<Kotono> > There's...nothing. Just emptiness everywhere. Lucy reaches the outside of the tavern without incident.
<Kotono> <Lucy> Leaving a beacon outside so she could easily consult with it, Lucy steps into the tavern to search for anyone.
<Kotono> The tavern is empty. Silent. There's a few half eaten meals about, even a half-eaten rat meal. It's just utterly nothing.
<Lucy> Rats. That gives her an idea, and Lucy lets herself into the employee-only area where said rats would be kept. It might help her figure out if everyone disappeared, or only the sentients.
<Kotono> There's no rats here at all.
<Lucy> Showing signs of frustration at last, Lucy heads out onto the street and transforms into her true self! Then, with wings lacking in practice but operating on solid muscle memory she ascends to take in the city properly from above.
<Kotono> Lucy flies above the city. It is empty, emp-OOC: Fort.
<Lucy> roll 1d20+7-2

<Rei-chan>  6,0Kotono rolled : 6,0 7d6  1,0damage and more, make sure to adjust Lucy's max HP for the con loss first. -->  6,0[ 7d6=30 ] 4,0{30}
<Kotono> Pain then darkness. When Lucy stirs, it is in confusion. Why is she in this bed? It's not her bunk on Kamhoff's ship. But she's tucked into a bed in an unremarkable room. Looks like an inn room. A rather gruff, familiar face is there. Bash? From Freeport Rock? Why? Lucy's head is fuzzy, pained. Why would he be here? OOC: You've forgotten everything about your visit or that you came to Freeport
<Kotono> Rock, Lucy.
* Lucy tries to focus on the last thing she remembers.
<Kotono> The ship? Je...tina? It's a blur. There was that celebration, she had a few drinks, maybe? Yes, she remembers drinking now, the memory emerging with a startling clarity. Drinking, laughing, playing, magic? Did she somehow teleport here by mistake, in a drunken stupor? That sort of feels right.
* Lucy pulls on the sheet tucking her in and peers at herself.
<Kotono> She's dressed normally. At this Bash rises up, "You're awake," he grunts, "Now that we have the obvious out of the way, how the hell did you end up falling from the sky?"
<Lucy> "Magic," she says, pressing the palm of her left hand against her forehead. Detect Magic is summoned to help her look about herself. "A better question would be why am I in your bed?"
<Kotono> No unusual magic is about. "Well, this is an inn room," Bash says with ag runt, "I saw you when you fell and got you here. Rather than leaving you in the streets," With his arms crossed as he goes on, "Magic's the size and shape of it. You owe me 20 gold for the room, and if you're wondering why it's so expensive, it's because everyone's rich now. Your rain of gold."
<Lucy> "Ah, did you like it? My gift to Freeport!"
<Kotono> "It did a thing," Bash finally allows, "It hit off inflation, so everyone who sells everything is rich. All the sailors coming by are getting ripped off, while the smarter ones are selling trade goods here."
<Lucy> "That sounds like a yes so I'm glad to hear it." Lucy carefully sits up on the bed, lowering her feet to the floor. "I hurt worse than I ever did. Ever. That I can remember. A lesser soul might deduce that she made an error in teleporting while under the influence, but a wizard of my stature knows that my teleportation ability is flawless and foolproof. Therefore-- well, it's possible I accidentally
<Lucy> appeared to coexist the same space as something else. Did you see any sign of it?"
<Kotono> "You were face down in the street," Bash shrugs, "I don't know enough to tell you anything else, at least about that sort of magic."
* Lucy makes a point of examining herself as thoroughly as she can without embarrassing Bash needlessly. "Huh," she voices. "Right. So. How have you been, aside from the ripping off sailors bit?"
<Kotono> "Fairly well. I'm going into business," he says, "The ship and path is gone, so..." He makes an exaggerated shrug. "I have to find something to do."
<Lucy> "Guess I could tag along," Lucy muses. "See the old spot again before I teleport away." She hands over four platinum coins. "For your trouble, and as thanks."
<Kotono> "Thanks," The coins are taken, "I'll walk you there." OOC: Gonna go visit the ship's old spot?
<Lucy> OOC: Yep
