Wiped clean (Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "All right. In the meantime, just to inform the both of you, I'm working on something to try and either protect us or somehow counter the effects of the Styx water, but I think we have to wait until Miss Sylvie returns."

[Anastasia]

"More power to you," Adrian says, "Good luck."

Anything else to add here?

[Nephrite]

Not particularly.

[Anastasia]

Okay, anything else you wanna do while you're in quasi-downtime?

[Nephrite]

I suppose I should at least go ask Dana if she'd be interested in going on a trip.

[Anastasia]

You find Dana in the courtyard, overseeing soldiers as they unwind from the short battle. Some train and others eat and drink, the mood somewhat subdued for it all.

[Nephrite]

Moore flies up. "Miss Dana." He clears his throat a bit. "This isn't something pressing, but I was wondering if you'd be interested in going with me to find something that I think would lead to another ally for Aurora." Ah, maybe that was too polite...

[Anastasia]

"Hold on a moment, I need to finish telling these cock sleeves how to shake off after taking a fucking piss over the battlefield," Dana declares, going off amid them and then snapping a few more orders off.

Once she's done with that, she comes back over, "What sort of fucking ally?"

[Nephrite]

"One who has their own demiplane." Moore answers.

[Anastasia]

"That's pretty fucking good," Dana agrees, "What's his name?"

[Nephrite]

"Um... that's the problem, I don't know." Moore says with a sheepish smile. "To make a long story short, I ended up there on one of my very first missions, which was a horrible embarrassment on my part. I've been trying to find a way back there since some divinations have shown me that he'd be an ally to us. It's led me on a bit of a wild hunt, which led me back to you. I can go into more detail, but I had a feeling you just wanted the important parts."

[Anastasia]

"No, why the fuck did it lead back to me?" Dana asks.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a breath. "So, the way to get back to this demiplane is to find this lost island called Algorand. In order to find it, we need to go to the Samgan Empire on one of the primes and find someone called the Buried Prince. I was told that you'd be the best person... well, actually, it just said to 'seek the princess,' but it's my understanding that you're the only one who fits that description, so here I am." Moore explains.

[Anastasia]

"Fucking great," Dana says, "Fucking capital bullshit, so did any of the cunts involved in this think to tell you how I'd be able to solve this problem?" Yet she's grinning, "For that matter, who pointed you in this direction?"

[Nephrite]

Moore waggles his fingers up near his face. "Maaaaaaaagic." He smiles a bit at that since she hasn't punched him in the face yet. "It was some divinations I did on the subject, so I'd hope they came from a reliable source. As for how? Not in the least! But where's the fun in at least being a -little- bit surprised by something?"
