Gearing up (Moore, Ithea)

[Anastasia]

"Got any business to finish up first?" Tannin says, glancing back into the gallery. "Tie up any loose ends now, Aurora'll keep you busy."

[Yuthirin]

"Eh. I travel light." Calleigh shrugs. "I'm ready go."

[Anastasia]

"Let's go see how Canderella did," Tannin says, leading the way on.

Meanwhile, in Canderella land.

You meet up with Canderella where you appeared. She has no one with her, but is smiling. "Oh, did you recruit a courre?" she asks on seeing Calleigh.

[Nephrite]

"It certainly looks that way!" Moore says. "I'm a bit surprised we didn't come back with dozens of people jumping at the chance, but I suppose there's always time later for that sort of thing!"

[Anastasia]

"Recruiting can be hit and miss," Tannin murmurs, his gaze turning to the courre as well.

Waiting on Yuth here.

Either K:P or K:R to figure out why she's clearly a succubus but not under attack here.

Calleigh blinks at the appearance of an obvious succubus, but there is no reaction from her companions or the locals. She zips up to Canderella.

"You're a succubus! But you're not pinging off my wards! That must mean you're either not evil, or reeeaaaally powerful! Also you're pretty." Calleigh babbles as she begins to slowly orbit Canderella's head.

[Anastasia]

"I've been here a few times, cleared up some miscommunications," Canderella is unfazed as the courre does laps around her head. "I serve Talos and went along for the ride when he fled Fury's Heart." A small little smile come to her face, "Thank you."

[Nephrite]

Taking 10 on K:R for 41 for what Canderella is talking about, if appropriate.

[Yuthirin]

"Oooooooh. Okay! That makes sense." Calleigh nods. "I remember hearing about that back, uh, when?" she floats sideways, spinning slowly as her orbit continues. She taps her chin, lost in thought.

[Anastasia]

Moore can recall until the past 1,000 to 2,000 years, Talos was a CE deity of destruction. However, shortly after Torm's fall into evil, Talos renounced his ways and remade himself as a CN deity of the natural cycle of life and death - destruction and recreation, rather than solely destruction. The reasons why are quite unclear. In any event, it's known that some demons and other vile things chose to stay with Talos and were transformed from creatures of chaos and evil to merely creatures of chaos.

[Anastasia]

"Been awhile," Tannin lazily interjects, "That whole ugly business with Torm, yeah? Moved the Triad around some and Helm took up Torm's old spot. Ugly, ugly spot of trouble that was."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods to Tannin's words as the knowledge seems to just come to him. He'll probably get used to that at some point... maybe.

"Well, are we good to go back to Aurora, then?" Moore asks. "Or is there other business we want to accomplish here?"

[Anastasia]

"Let's get back," Canderella declares.

Giving Yuth a chance to comment if he has anything to do or add here.

[Yuthirin]

"Yeah, that was a thing. Arborea was in a big crazy tizzy about it for a while. Anyway! Let's go!"

[Anastasia]

As the four gather, "Now close your eyes," Canderella says, "Aurora's on the Positive Energy Plane right now, so you'll be at risk of blinding. We'll get into the gates in seconds, so it won't be long."
