Scars of Hathsin Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Arranis, The Sphere, New Urithiru Arranis grabs the pages out of the other persons hand, quite testily, and rubbing his hands over the centre portions of the newspaper pages, sticking them together with a lashing, to stop them falling apart ... again. He looks down at the page he is putting in and stops, there was an image of some people around a building that had been destroyed, and his instincts told him, this is where you need to be. His spren, feeling his surprise floats over, also noticing the image. He quickly stops the shock, and rearranges his facial features, looking back up at the person that had run into him, (he never admitted that he was laos partly at fault.) Taking a quick glance at the other person, he quickly assess them, looking for any indication of their order, or their job. He talks causally, "So what is your name, and what order are you in?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scars of Hathsin Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 (edited) Arranis, The Sphere, New Urithiru Eleos, he muses to himself, a stonward is always helpful when investigating. He glances up again, "What brought you to the alleyverse?" Why are you here and how can you help me he thinks to himself. He turns to his spren Astryn, is he really a stoneward he sends the message through their bond. He looks to the side, and she nods back at him before zipping off. He is what he says he is he hears back through the bond. He nods back to her. Waiting for a response from Eleos.

That hunter I have…he hath returned. He better have news, and not just be coming to share my room. It’s my room. Put on a happy face, Corbeau. Be happy, and others will grow more joyous with thee. “Keshi!” he said in a cheerful voice. “Glad to see you here. Do you have information? Related to The Inquisitor, The Wrongdoer?” Keshi was going over his plan when he heard the door open. He put down his notebook and waited until he heard Corbeau’s voice. ”yes! Or, well, kind of?” Keshi replied tentatively as he exited his tent. “I know where he’s going to be. There’s this shop.” he looked down at his notes. “‘the silver dagger’ he commissioned a custom weapon from there. I talked to the shopkeeper, and he told me when this inquisitor fellow is going arrive as long as we don’t implicate him in the arrest.” he flipped through a few pages of his notebook. “I actually have a pretty good plan for the catching him, but I don’t know much about his abilities. Maybe you could help me with that?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t helped anybody in…a while. It feels good. “I work at a Nalthian restaurant, Shades of the Tongue, and there’s an opening for wait staff. It’s relatively fancy, much more than this place, but it’s not a bad job. I can put in a good word for you with the manager if you’d like.” If she doesn’t have a job…how is she paying for this? Itsuki sipped his beer. Chloris, The Mistwarrens, Bendalloy Bar Chloris looked back at the automatic text log on her MAPID, whispering a command. A job opportunity? Chloris hesitated. Waiting? She had never been a waiter before. Frankly, she wasn’t sure how much she would enjoy such a job. You need the money. Minthe was right. “Where is this diner located?” Chloris asked. “I’m currently staying at a motel around Demoux road, but I move quite often.” However, she was growing to like this part of the city. Are you really going to throw away this opportunity? For nostalgia’s sake? No. Not yet. She needed the money, and opportunities were hard to come by. ”And do they pay in Chrysts? That’s quite important, as money exchange is a lot of work.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anyone there, it would be nice to have a friend. If not a friend, then an acquaintance at least, somebody I know outside of work. “It’s in Mistkeep, on Kandra Boulevard and Mare Street.” Quote I just realized that I accidentally wrote that Itsuki works at a Nalthian restaurant, it’s actually Terris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBeeMage Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Eleos, The Sphere, New Urithiru Eleos takes a step backwards and looks around the corridor. The dead stone walls covered in hundreds of veins of strata leading all around the 10 floored tower. He takes out a note from his pocket about the possibility of integrating a large spren into the heart of the tower. He shakes his head. The plans here would never work. The original tower in roshar was built with the sibling in mind. It’s to late to do the same here. I breave in some stormlight and places my hand on the wall. Eleos uses the surge of Cohesion and surches for a specific vein of strata. He finds the one leading to the spren experimentation lab.

Scars of Hathsin Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Arranis, The Sphere, New Urithiru Arranis looks at the retreating back of Eleos, he turns to his spren, Getting rid of spren experimentation sounds good, Astryn nods her head at him but seems somewhat reluctant as well. It would be good, but it is for the greater good he hears her whisper into his mind. He stands there for a second. He had sworn to uphold higher ideals, which at times meant he had to overlook things like this, which although it hurt him, was necessary. Astryn flips a few pages of the newspaper again, This is what or who we should be investigating Astryn says, waving a hand at the newspaper of the Mistwarrens. A pseudo-inquisitor he thinks to himself, he had met Death once, who had told the pair about his other inquisitors. He turns around once more looking longingly towards the experimentation lab, before walking out to the thronging city, that was the alleyverse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t he tried to blame Lum for the attack to the policeman? Lum probably had a good reason for it, considering how he managed to keep them from getting arrested so far. Eza still thought that it wasn’t the greatest of ideas. At least Itsuki had been kind to her. She squirmed in place, unsure what to do. Talking to people other than Lum was a bad idea, even more so with their faces on posters plastered to walls outside. The less people knew about her the better. Itsuki probably wasn’t dumb, however. He could guess that Eza was still traveling with Lum, and thus was somewhere nearby. But what if Lum was trying to sell her out? No, no, they weren’t. They weren’t. They were a nice person. But what if she was becoming a bother, the hassle of dragging her along outweighing her thieving abilities? She had to make sure they wouldn’t do anything like that. She didn’t trust the other lucky guy sitting at her table, either. So, she excused herself then cautiously crept her way over to the group. She changed her expression to a wide-eyed one that she hoped said “I’m definitely innocent, please don’t arrest me.” Eza silently gave a little wave to Itsuki and subtly eyed the stranger next to him, looking for any negative reactions. @Ravenclawjedi42 @Koloss17 Edited February 11 by Lunamor Continuity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her skin like a fine pale porcelain vase which had become smudged with dirt and scars. Her hair had been so long when he first met her, in twin braids that fell to her waist, before she cut them off, and left her hair short, but even more beautiful. “She is more than just ‘that Ghostblood.’” 8 hours ago, Lunamor said: As soon as Lum turned their back, Eza pocketed a particularly polished fork from their table.

But that was wrong. She was much older than a girl, at least 13, at most a short 20-year-old. Only ten or so years younger than himself. It was strange how he thought of her as younger than she really was. Itsuki smiled at her as she walked over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloss17 Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Chloris, the mistwarrens, Bendalloy Bar. Chloris took in the new arrivals. Two Scadrians, by the look of it. Her MAPID automatically labeled them based on the information she received. Asylum friend of Kimura Itsuki ………….. ???? along with those came a pop-up. Add ‘Vinette’ to database? Chlo nodded, dismissing the pop-up. She had plenty of memory left. And plus, anything in Alleycity was interesting. Turning to address Asylum, Chlo sighed. “Hello, Asylum. As Itsuki said, we’re not dating. We’re just having a chat.” ”How exactly do you know each other?” Chloris inquired. Though “charismatic” wasn’t exactly the word she would use to describe them, Asylum seemed to be hanging out in different circles than Itsuki was. @Ravenclawjedi42 @Lunamor @Stormlightsong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking down at the page with the map, he began to project an image of the Corridor onto the dresser to Corbeau. It was a simple, rough sketch in hologram blue; the buildings were rectangular prisms, and the streets straight and grid-like, but it did the trick. “Ok,” he said, trying to maintain focus on the image. “The Silver Dagger is here.” He colored the building red. “The target will arrive there in three days. we will allow him to enter and exit, but keep a watch on him from these watch points.” He colored the buildings set to be watchpoints in green. “I chose these buildings because no matter where the target goes,” he drew a few red lines on the roads to demonstrate possible routes. “we will be able to watch from atop one of their rooftops from a safe distance of at least two blocks. Then once they enter another building.” he colored a random building in red. “I can teleport us in front of it, and, finally, we bust in.” Keshi released the projection with a big sigh. “Questions?” —————————————————— 22 hours ago, Ravenclawjedi42 said: “They are not my friend,” Itsuki said, then immediately regretted it. Wasn’t he just lamenting on how he wanted more friends? Including Asylum? Then why was his mind against it? Why did Asylum have to make themself so…unlikeable? “And Chloris is not my suitor. It’s not…I’m not going to just ‘get over’ Vinette. She wasn’t that kind of person.” Itsuki sighed wistfully, remembering her. Her hair, a warm light brown, coffee with a dash of cream like he had seen served in the city. Her skin like a fine pale porcelain vase which had become smudged with dirt and scars. Her hair had been so long when he first met her, in twin braids that fell to her waist, before she cut them off, and left her hair short, but even more beautiful. “She is more than just ‘that Ghostblood.’” “Itsuki, you wound me,” Asylum said, siting down and taking a sip of their wine. “I don’t understand why you are so obsessed with some cultist who left you the moment her god called. Well I don’t see why anyone gets obsessed with anyone else. In my experience, attachment without substantial personal gain never ends well.” 12 hours ago, Koloss17 said: Chloris, the mistwarrens, Bendalloy Bar. Chloris took in the new arrivals. Two Scadrians, by the look of it. Her MAPID automatically labeled them based on the information she received. Asylum friend of Kimura Itsuki ………….. ???? along with those came a pop-up. Add ‘Vinette’ to database? Chlo nodded, dismissing the pop-up. She had plenty of memory left. And plus, anything in Alleycity was interesting. Turning to address Asylum, Chlo sighed. “Hello, Asylum. As Itsuki said, we’re not dating. We’re just having a chat.” ”How exactly do you know each other?” Chloris inquired. Though “charismatic” wasn’t exactly the word she would use to describe them, Asylum seemed to be hanging out in different circles than Itsuki was. @Ravenclawjedi42 @Lunamor @Stormlightsong “Sorry for assuming,” Asylum said throwing salt over their shoulder. I should probably start building up some luck, they thought. “As of how we met, let’s just say he was looking for friends and got involved in some trouble involving my employer.” Then, Without looking behind themself, “and this is Eza, we have a business arrangement for mutual profit.” @Lunamor Edited February 13 by Stormlightsong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamor Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Eza made mental notes of the names Itsuki mentioned. Vinette, Itsuki’s girlfriend whom had apparently ditched him, and Chloris, the person sitting next to him. She crept forwards to stand next to Asylum, carefully avoiding the salt they had tossed onto the floor. Chloris’s eye covering thing looked even stranger up closer. ”It’s nice to meet you. How do you two know each other?” She echoed Chloris’s question back at the pair. Normally, she wouldn’t have asked. Eza didn’t particularly care about that sort of stuff and preferred to talk with strangers as little as possible. It would’ve felt weird to just stand there silently, though. Made her seem suspicious. @Stormlightsong @Koloss17 @Ravenclawjedi42 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloss17 Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) As Chloris took in the information, her MAPID automatically updated. Eza Business partner of Asylum She really needed to fix the A.I.’s interpretation software. It catalogued what it literally heard, but doesn’t pick up on the finer details. 38 minutes ago, Lunamor said: ”It’s nice to meet you. How do you two know each other?” Chlo couldn’t help but smile at the child’s inquiry. “He was reminiscing about old memories, and I decided to give him someone to talk to.” A bit of an odd move, thinking back on it. It was certainly out of place in a place like the Mistwarrens. However, she couldn’t help her nature. Even though I broke those ties a long time ago… @Stormlightsong @Lunamor @Ravenclawjedi42 Edited February 13 by Koloss17 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars of Hathsin Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Arranis, Mistwarrens Arranis wondered around the Mistwarrens. It was a depressing sort of place, one that he imagined would not have been possible in an ideal world, but suited the non ideal, all the same. The dank buildings seemed to crowd everything else out, with the roads feeling like you were ants walking under a cave roof. Some of the buildings showed great repair, and maybe an attempt to make this place more civilised, but with a glance around him, Arranis can see it did not make a difference. His spren zipped around him, pulling into tight circles, or flying out in wide arcs, dashing through the alleyways, trying to find out where the pseudo-inquisitor was. His instincts said there was something nearby, maybe not the inquisitor, but someone or something that could help them find their goal. "Find anything?" he asks his spren, as it zipped towards him, from one of the smaller alleyways. He saw many people look his way, openly hostile and distrusting, as he made a sound. What a happy place he thinks to himself. "I have found a bar, back a bit, that looks newer, and I fell that is the place where we should go" she whispers into his mind. "Lead the way" he whispers back. Consuming some of the investiture that he carries around in multiple areas on his person, he starts glowing, mist seemingly seeping out of his skin. He carries on walking, his senses on high alert. Before opening the door to the bar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRavenHasLanded Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Sonyr wandered outside. I need groceries, and besides, I can look for Perses on the way. He moved confidently through the crowds, almost invisible among them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
