Gearing up (Moore, Ithea)

[Nephrite]

"It may be as such. Well, perhaps it's best to focus on less grandiose ideas for the time being and focus on how to help you while also helping Aurora." Moore smiles at that and looks about the library. "It'd be easy enough to simple go appeal to the Court of Stars on your behalf and appeal to them for further aid for Aurora, but... hm. That seems too..." Moore thinks for a moment. "Too direct, you know? Do you have any ideas, or perhaps some individuals that you know of that could offer what we're looking for but for whatever reason have yet to actually do so? We could try and convince them of our good intentions, such that we can accomplish our goals."

[Anastasia]

Crystal hums in consideration, "In truth, I was thinking of more direct means - vanquishing evil and using that as our impetus, rather than a more indirect approach. But..."

[Nephrite]

"Well, we can certainly go with the direct route." Moore agrees. "But do you have another thought? I could also try and find some divine inspiration for a direction for us to go in!"

[Anastasia]

"Please," Crystal says, "Divination has never been a strong suit of mine."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods and prepares another Divination!

Casting Divination again, CL8

[Anastasia]

Moore casts again - and again the spell fails. How curious.

Brutal luck on the dice, Moore.

[Nephrite]

Moore tilts his head. There's surely not some kind of anti-magic spell in play...

"One moment. It looks like today may not be my day either." He rubs his chin once and decides to try once more -- If this fails, then he'll try something completely different.

Casting Divination one more time.

[Anastasia]

You may want to read Divination carefully, Moore. Especially the line with multiple divinations on the same matter getting the same result.

[Nephrite]

I presumed that since I hadn't actually asked anything that that didn't apply. Does Augury fall into the same rules?

[Anastasia]

Okay, then what precisely are you divining about? I inferred it was the same question, but I may have been wrong.

[Nephrite]

The first question would have been "Where should Crystal and I start with regards to diplomatic endeavors to fulfill the Queen's directive?"

Since that one failed he'd try and change the general idea to "What first step should we take to resolve Crystal's money problems?" If that isn't different enough then that's ok.

[Anastasia]

Moore receives the following reply: All prosperity starts at home; is it not time to lie down for a spell?

[Nephrite]

He blinks.

Ah, he thinks he understands.

"Well, I think we'll see a sign here later on how to start our progress. But I think for now we should take a small break and rest before then. I think that what we're looking for will come into our possession if we wait for it." He nods to Crystal. "I know that seems like a bit of a peculiar response, but I've learned to trust in what I've been told."

[Anastasia]

A long hm from Crystal, "...very well," she finally says, "Divinations are often cryptic like that. Let us meet again here in 4 hours?"

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Yes, I think that's a good idea." Trusting in the advice he's received, Moore will head back to his room to rest, although he does anticipate either something will be waiting for him there or something else may happen.
