The assault on Salty Pier

[Nephrite]

"She's not the type that that would work on on a normal day." Moore says with a grin. "After all, she was from Aurora. I was going to go from here to Oghma and more or less explain to him the same as I've explained to you. Sylvie was one of His, even after she became an outsider. I feel like if anyone could find her, it'd be him. I know... it's probably a very minor thing in the eyes of someone who's experience has spanned so many creations, but..."

Again, he takes a breath and a grin spreads out on his face. "You know we can be a stubborn lot."

[Anastasia]

"Aye, you can," Bahamut says, "Even when you ignore everything else and raise a prismatic dragon, much to my headache. But perhaps that is where all of our hopes lie in the end - stubborn mortals."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and holds a hand out. "Thank you for making the time for my selfish request. Please don't hesitate to call on me for anything you need, King of All Dragons. I'll make sure Kaja is well taken care of, as well."

[Anastasia]

"Lead him with a firm hand. His is a hard lot," Bahamut takes your hand, "But lead him with compassion most of all." Amen.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and nods. "Amen."

He turns his attention back to Jetina and Xandra as if nothing had happened. "So who's up for a trip to the House of Knowledge?"

[Anastasia]

"I am," Xandra says, "Come. That was not our conversation to intrude in, but our tasks rise ahead."

[Nephrite]

"Be well, Lord Bahamut." Moore says in Draconic beforeeeeeeee they're off!

Take 10 on K:P for 89 if there's a place more specific than 'House of Knowledge' that they'd likely find Oghma, or at least that would logically lead to a path to him. He's aware that this isn't going to be a 'show up on a doorstep' sort of trip.

[Anastasia]

Well, Oghma has all sorts of little hidey holes and personal spots in the House of Knowledge, as well as one simple fact - if he wants to meet you, you'll find him. If he wants to avoid you, you won't find him.

I can narrow things down more if you want exposition here, just let me know.

[Nephrite]

We can exposit as we explore!

In that case, Moore's goal/aim is simply wherever the most traditional 'opening' is. It's his first visit so he's fine starting off at the beginning and going from there.

[Anastasia]

You appear amid a ring of buildings, each one pillared and made of white colored stone.  It's cloudy here, each building stretching far and long. People of all kinds come and go, many with their noses deep in a book or similar such things. Nearby sits a catfolk playing a flute - rather well, all told, a pretty melody.

[Nephrite]

"Places like this always pique my interests." Moore says as he starts to fly towards the catfolk. "You don't see a lot of mundane things in Celestia, except where you should. So it's always... mm... soothing? I guess, to see something that almost seems 'normal.'"

He approaches the catfolk and decides to just listen to the song, maybe he can identify it?

[Anastasia]

K:R.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 93!

[Anastasia]

Ah. It's a ballad to Gond, converted to a flute song. It catches the major notes, nothing too interesting about it otherwise.

"Pretty," Jetina murmurs, "Flute music is always so haunting."

"Wind instruments can be so easily haunting, as the wind carries mourning so long and so well," Xandra remarks, floating just off the ground. "If you listen to the wind on a Prime world, you can hear the regrets of those that are passing from mortality to immortality."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods and will just wait for right now until the ballad is done!

Unless, of course, it's one of those hours-long ones... if THAT's the case he'll have to figure something else out.
