Pixie on the town (Moore)

[Anastasia]

With a hint of a smile, "Yes, yes you can. Help yourself," he invites.

[Nephrite]

"They say not to judge a book by the cover, right...?" He leans in to try some. Hopefully he doesn't die.

"I'm not entirely sure where to start with this, so let me explain from the beginning." Moore says.

"Moonlight and I were in Limbo, and twice while we were there, I felt a strange sensation -- dizziness, like something was... ...I don't know. Basically like someone had grabbed me and shook me like a doll." He says. "This happened twice. While Vivantha and I were just in Brightwater, something similar happened... it felt like a wave of... ...ill. Just pure ill -- it left me cold and... ugh." He shivers at that. "I don't think I'm sick... but I think something is doing it, but I have absolutely no idea what, and... quite frankly, I have no idea where to even start." He looks down at the cheese. "...I think I feel like that smells on the inside."

[Anastasia]

It's worse. Erathaol, it's worse than it smells!

As you struggle with that, "Sickness? Get analyzed for disease and a remedy to disease before anything else. Eliminate that possibility."

[Nephrite]

Moore does his absolute best to hide how bad it tastes.

[23:03] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+12+11 perform (this cheese really doesn't taste that bad)
[23:03] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 29 > [d20=6]

He swallows harshly nonetheless.

"All right. Once that's out of the question, what would you suggest? I'd say divinations myself, but... I don't know if self-diagnosis is necessarily the right way." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

He takes 10 for 15 on Sense Motive. Your score smokes his.

"It depends. It could easily be something trivial or a trace of illness, or a hundred other innocent things." Steepling his fingers together, "We are in a business where coincidences are the sign of enemy action. Some divination is only prudent."

[Nephrite]

"All right. I'll eliminate the mundane and come back if it turns out it's more than that." He nods. "Thank you, ah... ...but I don't think this is my type of culinary... treat." He smiles and goes to the healing ward to get checked out for mundane and boring things! Oh, how he hopes it's mundane and boring...

It totally isn't going to be, he just knows it.

[Anastasia]

Balyss is the one you see. She looks you over most closely, even having you strip down to your underwear and giving you a complete examination.

> roll 1d20+39 (+5 healer's vision)
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 44 > [d20=5]

"There's nothing wrong with you," Balyss announces, "Selune knows I've seen the sick and suffering, you're not one of them."

[Nephrite]

"I thought as much." Moore nods. "Thank you, Miss Balyss. Ah, besides yourself, is there anyone else proficient in divinations?"

[Anastasia]

"Uh uh." Balyss puts a hand on your shoulder, making you sit down. You're in Selune's church in Aurora, in a room in the back. Private, quiet and sharing space with some barrels full of supplies. "That doesn't mean something else isn't wrong with you, then you mentioned the D word. Selune's mercy, Moore, you're setting off the alarm."

[Nephrite]

"I think it's only natural to be worried when you have three different... weird things happen." Moore says with a sigh. "It's like something's out to get me, but I have no idea what."

[Anastasia]

"Sit down, I'm going to go try my hand at this," Balyss declares. "Take a rest, cleric's orders."

[Nephrite]

"Yes ma'am." Moore says as he tries to lay back and get comfortable.

[Anastasia]

Balyss goes off, trying her hand just as she promised.

> roll 1d20+25 caster level check
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 30 > [d20=5]

When Balyss returns a little bit later, she closes the door. "It's strange," she says, "You're familiar with divination, as in the spell?"

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Yes."

[Anastasia]

"Normally the spell's straightforward, right? You cast it, you get the information or not." Balyss goes to lean against the wall, her armor silent as she does so. Not the barest peep of iron. "It was odd. I got information, but I swear there was a moment's delay on it."
