Nymph interlude (Afina)

[Ebiris]

What did she ever do to get on Bwimb's list? She was even planning on bringing a present!

Well, most of it seems to relate to the traitors and isn't particularly urgent, but... "What's this about Surraruthru?"

[Anastasia]

27 meets your eyes and says solemnly, "I can't see Surraruthru anymore. All I can see is 21's light."

[Ebiris]

"Elena?" she speaks up for her best source on all things Aurora related, her own business put aside for now in the face of this threat with an apologetic look towards Canderella. "Do you know where Surraruthru is or is supposed to be?"

[Anastasia]

Elena pops in, "He's off in Niflheim, tracking down a daemon lord of secrets. His name is Secretus, and he took Ebony, Sylvie and Kascha with him."

[Ebiris]

"He might have run into trouble, I'm going to try contacting him with a sending. Give me a moment everyone?" Afina asks.

Fortunately she can cast it a lot quicker than normal. Unfortunately it also disables her magic for the next little while.

Limited Wish to emulate Sending. Message is 'Surraruthru this is Afina, is everything proceeding well? 27 believes you to be dead. Possibly. He's vague about it.'

[Anastasia]

Okay, I'll put your sending over in his thread pending a reply and bring his reply over.

[Anastasia]

The reply is as follows: 'We're alive. Fought a worm that was no danger. We're in Niflheim hunting Secretus with a Yugoloth guide named Thurra, if you wish to come.'

[Ebiris]

Afina does not, but she isn't about to stretch her already weakened magic to push out another sending simply to say so.

"Surraruthru is fine," she tells 27. "As are Kascha, Ebony, and Sylvie who I'm sure you were equally worried about."

[Anastasia]

27 nods silently, then eyes you. "Come with you?" he asks.

[Ebiris]

"How well can you cope with acid and disease?" Afina asks, surprised to actually have a volunteer. Canderella hasn't given a decision yet, on that note.

[Anastasia]

"Can cope," 27 insists, sword sliding in and out of his heart.

[Ebiris]

"Alright, welcome aboard. How about you, Canderella?" she asks the person she actually came to invite.

[Anastasia]

"You really know how to make a girl an offer," Canderella says dryly.

[Ebiris]

"Sorry I don't have a handsome brother I can throw at you," Afina says, not at all apologetic. Getting people to go places with her feels like pulling teeth lately.

[Anastasia]

Canderella raises an eyebrow at that, "Meow. Fine, I'll go," she say.
