Gearing up (Moore, Ithea)

[Nephrite]

I mean Moore's happy to help, but I'm fine skipping if it's mostly just a token 'wow this sure is a lot of soup!' kind of situation. Don't need to have Dune waste time explaining stuff.

[Merc]

Maybe it's potato and corn soup! We did find a lot of slaad!

[Anastasia]

From here the group goes to see the recovery efforts. A vast pile of debris and precious things are all about. Soldiers work to sort it out, Sage Vul'lath overseeing it all. There's a pile of riches - some cut gemstones are joined by ingots, nuggets and other similar things. But there's even more that's raw - ores, uncut gemstones and so on and so forth.

Off to the side, you can see Mei watching silently. Mirima's worth her, arms crossed as she watches soldiers sort out precious, uncut gems by color.

[Nephrite]

Moore looks at all of it with slight stars in his eyes. That's sure a lot!

"How are we splitting this, anyway? I mean, I never really helped find it, so I'm not sure it's really fair for me to have any!" Moore says with a small sigh. "At least it got recovered either way."

[Anastasia]

"I would think it is only fair to split it as normal, barring any returns to Mineral," Crystal remarks, going to flutter around and over it all. "Goodness, it is a lot."

Sage Vul'lath comes over and waves her away like a bothersome fly, "Out of the way. It will take time for me to appraise and cut all the gemstones, as well as for the metals to be harvested and melted down."

[Nephrite]

"Is there anything we can do to help, beyond just... ah... not being here?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

Crystal flies back, trading glares with Vul'lath. The gith clears his throat, "As a matter of fact, no. Take your pet slaad and go."

[Nephrite]

"Pet... slaad?" Moore asks, looking around. "So that cat really was a slaad...?"

[Anastasia]

No sign of the cat, but 27 has silently come up behind the party and is staring at them.

[Nephrite]

"Oh, hello!" Moore calls to 27, before he covers his mouth, remembering what happened last time. He slowly removes it. "I hope I didn't offend you."

[Anastasia]

Crystal warily flies a little higher, "I'd like to remind you that I am not Hanna."

Stille looks on, "Good day, 27. Come for Ithea?"

27 looks at everyone, before taking a sniff of the air. He whimpers softly and says, "Anarch, you stink." He then turns and starts heading off.

[Merc]

"Well that was a bit rude! Didn't even give me a chance to give him his presents!" Ithea huffs.

"And splitting everything as normal is fine. I'm thankful none of us seem to have gotten into any real danger while separated."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I agree. It's nice to be back from a successful retrieval mission!"

[Anastasia]

Okay, now ready to hop along, y'all? I plan to post a treasure list tonight and move y'all on after that.

[Nephrite]

Arrr.
