The assault on Salty Pier

[Nephrite]

"You got it." Moore agrees as he goes back to the paperwork and his memories.

[Anastasia]

Perhaps a half hour passes before Cresiel comes in. He knocks before entering, "Moore, I've received a message from my father. Our attack was fortunately timed in many ways. Seira Aryn has contacted Celestia, seeking to begin an effort against slavery in the Inner Planes. He wishes to know if we are interested in being Celestia's agents here."

[Nephrite]

"It's funny how this sort of thing comes together." Moore says, smiling all the while. "Sure, I think that sounds like a fine venture to put our weight behind."

[Anastasia]

Cresiel nods, "She aided Aurora and has proven to be a true and righteous champion," he says, "This is a Crusade that will do us good and see much good done. Who shall handle the diplomacy of it?"

[Nephrite]

"It would, under the circumstances, make the most sense for me to go, but..." Moore taps his fingers on his desk. "Perhaps someone else should see some experience in how things are done. Mm... No, I feel like the best way to handle this would just be for me to go and bring one or two of us to give a better idea of what makes our group a whole. Do you have any objections to that?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

"None," Cresiel says, "I will send work back to my father, and he will send word to the Cauldron to sort the meeting. Now...it is time to advance forward, Moore."

[Nephrite]

"Haha." Moore just smiles. "We've got a lot on our plate to accomplish, I think we're up for it, though. We may not be deities just yet, but... I think we can alter reality in our own way, don't you?"

[Anastasia]

Cresiel just smiles to that, then heads out.

[Nephrite]

"Did you see all of this happening in the river?" Moore asks no one in particular with a glance out his window.

He shakes his head. "The third use... is it to speak with the same power as the gods themselves? Or to simply channel their divine power...?" Moore muses to himself as he goes back to the paperwork.

"...What do we even do with all that treasure, anyway? Hum..."

[Anastasia]

The path ahead is a little brighter, thanks to your gallantry.

As you ruminate, there's another knocking on your door.

[Nephrite]

He smiles for some reason, a goofy thing that's a little lopsided for whatever reason, as if he was caught off guard by embarrassment.

"Come in!" He calls.

[Anastasia]

Xandra enters this time, smiling. "Moore," she greets, "Come and celebrate."

[Nephrite]

"I don't really have an option, do I?" Moore says as he puts a paper down. "Fine, fine, let's go. Hey, am I allowed to ask you if that thing you did when we were in Lathander's realm was the 'third' way? You know, where you... uh... spoke, like someone was speaking through you."

[Anastasia]

Link me to what you mean, just so I'm clear? This one matters.

[Nephrite]
