On the prowl (Ithea)

[Anastasia]

It's really strong, alright, each sip hitting her hard.

"Nonsense," Balyss waves a hand, "Sharess won't let you die, you're too valuable. We're all too powerful, too valuable."

[Merc]

"Perhaps, perhaps not. I certainly don't plan on using Medi's tool, and if Sharess will do something herself, well, that remains to be seen. I'm certainly not presumptous enough to ask her if she has such plans," Ithea notes. "And used to be not too long ago that my opinion of the gods was rather sour. It was deities like Solonor, Selune, and Sharess that caused my opinion to soften and change, through their actions and aid. And many other deities since then have also shown me otherwise, but I still did have a rather sour opinion, you know. Still surprises me when some of them look on me with any favor."

[Anastasia]

"That means you just need to find the right ones, like that. You should consider Selune, too," Balyss comes forward and throws an arm around you. "You could be the first moon cat to contrast with moon dogs."

Sylvie again rolls her eyes, "Anyway," she says, "Unneeded amounts of drinking aside, do you have any plans now, Ithea?"

[Merc]

"A few. I still need to complete some quests that I let languish due to what's been going on. Lady Sunnis' hunt, and the destruction of that hunger demon that shall go unnamed because I don't need the headache while drinking," Ithea says while taking another sip. "I also want to check on Kina and give an update to Sharess about what's happened, I'm sure she'll appeciate what happened with the Hanged Raven and the demons. I do also want to hit up the slaad's dungeon again to try and raise some gold for a... personal project, let's call it. Two of them, really."

[Anastasia]

"I need to visit the House of Knowledge," Sylvie adds, "I want to find out what my native plane is now, in case something happens to me. If Oghma didn't smite me already, I should be safe to do so."

"Yeah," Balyss adds cheerfully, "And we should go to Balmuria and visit Ves and Aaeru, then Josa and Yuria and Whurric and all of them."

Sylvie just elects to not address that, a silent sigh as Balyss goes on. She instead interjects, "Y'know, you shouldn't take us to visit Rapture, Ithea. You should take Stille."

[Merc]

"I can, I suppose. I've done it before, in case you're trying to do something weird or romantic or whatever," Ithea points out.

[Anastasia]

"Well yeah," Balyss grins and then giggles, "Gotta watch out for my brother. Mrow!" She makes a cat-like sound, her hands clawing at the air in mimicry.

[Merc]

"You're not even embarassed about saying that are you? Jeez, you're drunk," Ithea says with amusement, as she passes the drink over to Sylvie.

[Anastasia]

"Oh yeah," Balyss giggles, "Or you could take me and complete the family set!" She giggles and blushes terribly, Sylvie quietly facepalming.

"That's enough, time for you to go sit down," Sylvie says, taking Balyss by the shoulders and half guiding, half forcing her over to the couch. She shoots Ithea a look, "I don't know why this is hitting her so hard today. She normally holds her liquor better that this."

[Merc]

Ithea shrugs. "It's -really- strong alcohol."

[Anastasia]

"Anyway," Sylvie goes right on, "Once Balyss dries out, what do you want to do?"

[Merc]

"I'll be heading to Brightwater first,but after that I think I want to handle Lady Sunnis' request. I've let that idle long enough, and I've put her gift to a lot of use lately," Ithea answers, gesturing with a glance to the mace sitting atop a desk. "I'll worry about the order of other things I'm thinking about after that gets resolved, hopefully that dungeon slaad sends one of his invitations by then, and I can figure out who wants to challenge that."

[Anastasia]

"Right," Sylvie says, as...

So you're going to Brightwater next? Go ahead and declare who you want to take and your goals there, so we're on the same page.

[Merc]

I'll go on my own and chat with Sharess. I just want to find out what's going on with Kina after we got her and if she's doing any better, if she's still got issues, etc. Also just basically catching up, letting her know about what happened in Astral, thanking her for the dreams before that, and the anarch power manifestation. If it comes up as a valid conversation topic, might broach Sylvie/Balyss's comment on mortality/future, but it probably won't come up.

[Anastasia]

Using your bracelet to travel over? Assuming so, correct me if I'm wrong.

The trip to Brightwater is like falling through a waterfall and into a beautiful, golden realm. You quickly travel through Waukeen's quarter and towards Rapture.

Ithea is walking down a street in Brightwater. One she's been down before, golden and splendid. All around you are merchants buying and selling when...

Spot.
