Nefis/Logs/20200809 Vessel Dissection

You say, "Welcome and thank you for coming. None of this would be possible without my dedicated team. Acting as scribes and recording the research for posterity will be Avareyna and Eyst. Providing herbal care in efforts to keep the vessel alive as long as possible is Lilustra. Acting to restrain the vessel will be Zehira and Agalea. I will be performing the dissection myself."

Eyst unlatches and opens his orange book.

Avareyna turns a page in her helei leather book.

Eyst reads his orange book.

Eyst turns the page of his orange book.

You say to Nuzack, "Distinguished observer, your presence and oversight shall prove useful in fully debriefing these events at a later time and I thank you for your patronage. However, in the meantime, I ask that you refrain from too much fiddling and distraction. Concentration and focus for this could mean the difference between life and death for all of us."

You grin at Nuzack.

You say, "Since everyone else is participating in some way."

(Nefis begins to set out all his tools, preparing the workspace.)

You open your seaman's chest.

Avareyna euphorically says to Nuzack, "Just don't stand in front of me."

(Nefis shuffles through the chest, ensuring everything is in order.)

(Nefis takes one last look around the room, ensuring that he is prepared and everything is in place before nodding to himself.)

You say, "I will summarize first. I will begin by taking samples and observinf the vessel."

You say, "After which, I was hoping some would show that still had the solution used to kill Ciriasa."

You say, "And see if that had any effect on her still."

You say, "But that does not appear to be the case."

Nuzack's tail undulates passively just above the ground.

You say, "So at the end, we will kill the vessel and see what else we can see. Once she dies, feel free to perform any rituals you are able to on her."

You ask, "Does everyone understand?"

Nuzack nods.

Eyst nods.

You say, "Very well."

Lilustra nods to you.

You get a cloudy quartz bottle with a silversteel-rimmed cork from inside your silk robe.

You nod to Zehira.

You nod to Agalea.

Zehira nods.

Lilustra inhales a great swallow of air.

You say, "Prepare yourselves for her."

Agalea hums to herself.

Eyst leans forward.

You open a cloudy quartz bottle with a silversteel-rimmed cork and it begins to shake in your hands.

Light and smoke emanate from the quartz bottle. Before your eyes, the smoke coalesces into a Maelshyvean vessel!

You quickly close the bottle to keep the vessel from being sucked in again.

Agalea gestures at a Maelshyvean vessel.

The Maelshyvean vessel suddenly freezes in place!

Dusky blue fumes emanate from a Maelshyvean vessel, clinging to you. Your soul feels besmirched, and you feel profoundly afraid.

You adjust the folds of your uaro's'sugi, your face hidden but for a narrow strip of skin around your eyes.

(Nefis covers his face with his uaro's'sugi quickly in an attempt to block the fumes.)

The vessel glances around the area and begins to laugh maniacally.

You say, "Please note that the subject exudes some type of fume. It elicits an emotional fear response. I ask that observers refrain from acting upon that fear."

(Nefis begins to visually examine the subject as she lies on the laboratory table, studying every aspect of her. There is a noticeable pause as his gaze loses focus for a moment.)

The vessel suddenly pauses, as if straining to hear something in the distance. She wails, long and mournful, and begins to claw at her cheeks.

The vessel gnashes at Agalea, revealing sharp teeth and an impossibly long tongue, and grins wickedly.

(Nefis furrows his brow as his eyes refocus on the vessel.)

(Eyst scratches at his book, while attempting to waft the fumes away.)

You get a Human anatomy chart from inside your seaman's chest.

(Nefis refers to the human anatomy chart he is holding.)

A Maelshyvean vessel leaps into the air, then strikes with a downward slash of both claws at Zehira.

Zehira gestures at a Maelshyvean vessel.

The Maelshyvean vessel suddenly freezes in place!

Agalea shifts her weight.

You say, "Subject is average size for a human female."

(Nefis looks into the eyes of the vessel.)

Agalea leans back.

Attempting to evade the vessel's gnashing teeth, Agalea strains backwards. The vessel slips her arm from Agalea's grasp and quickly sinks her teeth into her neck! With a shouted curse, Agalea shoves the vessel away and secures her grip. The vessel ceases struggling a moment, and begins to laugh as blood dribble from her mouth.

You say, "Subject's eyes are an intense emerald-green. Inconclusive if this is caused by the transformation."

You frown at Agalea.

(Lilustra carefully applies some of the ungent to the vessel on an exposed part of her flesh)

Agalea shrugs.

Zehira says, "That was my wife thing."

You exclaim, "Restrain her!"

Zehira gestures at a Maelshyvean vessel.

The Maelshyvean vessel suddenly freezes in place!

As you stare into the eyes of the vessel, you feel everything slow for a moment, a heartbeat stretched long, a breath held in anticipation. She watches, her pupils contract slightly as she focuses on you, and then dialate wildly as something euphoric grips her. Her lips part in a soft smirk, and your mind is filled with images of your wife and child. Your head fills with whispers, "They could be yours again. Just let me go and I can show you." The vessel winks.

Zehira grabs hold of a Maelshyvean vessel in a tight grip.

The vessel twists slightly and whispers something to Zehira.

Zehira says, "I got it."

You frown at a Maelshyvean vessel.

You shake your head.

Agalea asks Zehira, "What did she say?"

Zehira snorts, loudly.

(Nefis examines the the patchy hair of the vessel.)

Zehira rears back from the vessel and with a snort, slaps the vessel across the face, hard. The vessel sags as Zehira grips her tightly.

Eyst mutters something into the air about subject is quite lucid and aggressive.

Zehira says, "She wanted to be let go."

You say, "The hair seems mostly normal, though growths on the skull appear to be causing it to fall out."

The scent of rose and salt fill your nostrils, and you are reminded of a summer, a soft summer, so long ago, before everything, before the nightmares and pain. You find yourself sinking, comforted, if you would only let go.

You feel a tug in your gut, and suddenly you and the vessel's face suddenly explodes with scale and horn, monstrously horrific. You see ghostly wings spread wide, and her hands deform into triple tined claws. Suddenly, she is once again the vessel. You look around, but no one appears to have noticed, though the vessel is staring at you.

A Maelshyvean vessel's fanged lips curl into a battle roar!

Eyst gazes off into the distance.

You growl ferociously!

(Nefis uses his knife to cut a lock of hair from the restrained woman.)

Zehira says, "You have to do better than that sweetheart if you wanna hit me."

You get a small vial labeled "Vessel Hair" from inside your seaman's chest.

The vessel screams and shakes her head wildly, hissing and biting.

Nuzack ducks his head.

You put your hair in your vial.

You put your vial in your seaman's chest.

You say to Zehira, "Good....keep her still, let me examine more."

(Nefis gently probes the facial structure of the vessel with his hands, feeling the shape.)

Zehira nods to you.

Agalea gestures at a Maelshyvean vessel.

The Maelshyvean vessel suddenly freezes in place!

(Nefis delicately lifts the lip, revealing large fangs.)

Lilustra squints at a Maelshyvean vessel.

Avareyna winces.

The vessel snarls angrily and hisses in contempt!

You say, "Subject has evolved predator-like fangs. Inconsistent with current transcendental magics."

Avareyna euphorically asks, "I heard her. Are you hearing her?"

The vessel says, "Come closer Nefis, you've nothing to fear."

The demonic whispers quieten.

Agalea says, "They do speak."

You frown at a Maelshyvean vessel.

You nod.

Avareyna euphorically says, "No, Maelshyve."

Agalea says, "They were her or she was them."

Avareyna nods.

Lilustra gets some shadowy arsenic tonic from inside her watersilk bag.

(Nefis takes his knife and indelicately cuts a fang from the mouth of the vessel.)

The vessel barely flinches, staring at you with predatory narrowed eyes. After a long moment, she turns her head slightly and spits a mouthful of crimson blood tinged with blue to the floor. The blood smokes a moment before vanishing.

Agalea says, "It would be like an echo, or a spirit speaking while its body is dead."

You get a small vial labeled "Vessel Fang" from inside your seaman's chest.

Zehira frowns at a Maelshyvean vessel.

You put your fang in your vial.

You put your vial in your seaman's chest.

You say, "Excellent work so far, folks."

Zehira says, "She is fiesty."

Agalea says, "If it saw us as a friend, it would sing to us."

You ask Eyst, "You getting all this?"

Eyst says, "It's remarkable how aware she is."

Avareyna gets a small book bound in helei leather from inside her black haversack.

Avareyna's eyes swim as she stares at her book.

Avareyna turns a page in her helei leather book.

(Nefis examines the skin, spending a few seconds studying the the sporadic scales spread across her body.)

Eyst says, "Oh yes indeed. You're doing an excellent job."

You say, "Ignore her honeyed words as best you are able."

You say, "Calcification of the skin is incomplete. Coloration is consistent with expectations for the demon, Maelshyve."

(Lilustra moves to apply the tonic, the tonic slips from her hands and barely spills on the vessel as it falls to the ground)

Agalea coughs.

Agalea stands silently as shadow and light collide wildly around her.

(Eyst marks down notes along with Nefis' recitation of the vessel's physical attributes.)

You say, "Hold her...I will now take a scale."

Zehira says, "I have her."

You gaze at a Maelshyvean vessel.

You nod.

(Nefis peels a scale away from the underlying flesh, carefully using his knife to sever the connecting tissue.)

The vessel inhales sharply, and releases a shuddering breath. She leans back and with a deafening scream, howls, "RETURN MISTRESS THAT YOU MAY FEAST UPON THEIR FLESH AND CROWN YOURSELF WITH THE STARS!"

You get a small vial labeled "Vessel Scale" from inside your seaman's chest.

You put your scale in your vial.

Lilustra blinks.

You put your vial in your seaman's chest.

Zehira twitches several times as the ridges encompassing her form recede and vanish.

Lilustra gets some soft silvery poultices from inside her watersilk bag.

You say, "'Your Master is gone...or leaving, Vessel."

You shrug.

The vessel struggles, but is unable to shake the grip of Zehira and Agalea. The woman snarls and writhes, but is held fast.

You say, "She abandoned you."

Zehira smirks at the Maelshyvean vessel.

(Nefis examines her hands, inspecting the razor-sharp claws.)

Agalea says, "They also had knowledge of her wants and desires, even if that understanding was simple."

You say, "Subject's fingernails have calcified into claws. Inconsistent with current transcendental magics."

You say to Agalea, "Steady, time to take a claw."

(Nefis shears the tip of a finger from the vessel, harvesting a claw from the vessel.)

You get a large vial labeled "Vessel Claw" from inside your seaman's chest.

The vessel goes still, her eyes narrowing.

You put your claw in your vial.

Agalea stands silently as shadow and light collide wildly around her.

You frown.

You say, "Almost done with the observation...then we will perform a full dissection."

You say, "Now I will take a blood sample."

Agalea says to you, "Without her creator, I doubt she is able to understand or feel much of anything."

(Nefis uses his knife to, almost ritualistically, cut the hand of the vessel.)

(Lilustra pours some of the poultice on an exposed section of skin.)

The vessel squirms, smearing red blood tinged with blue across her body. The blood smokes and hisses, burning her flesh.

(Nefis gathers some of the blood on his fingers, slowly rubbing it between them, feeling its viscosity and observing it's color.)

Agalea says, "Its just a physical response now."

Avareyna turns a page in her helei leather book.

You say, "Subject's blood is no longer completely red. The darker blue shade is consistent with creatures corrupted by Maelshyve."

(Nefis slowly allows a single drop to fall into his vial from the tip of the knife.)

You get a small vial labeled "Vessel Blood" from inside your seaman's chest.

You put your blood in your vial.

You put your vial in your seaman's chest.

You say, "The external inspection of the subject is complete, I will now begin more invasive procedures to examine the internal structure."

Dusky blue fumes emanate from a Maelshyvean vessel, clinging to you. Your soul feels besmirched, and you feel profoundly afraid.

Zehira blinks.

You gaze down at the floor.

Nuzack shudders.

Zehira slowly empties her lungs.

Agalea says to Zehira, "Its like it was the night in the fortress."

You say to Lilustra, "Please sustain the subject as long as possible."

Zehira nods to Agalea.

Agalea says to Zehira, "Only we don't have our robes."

Zehira says, "No we do not."

You say to Zehira, "Please hold the subject steady. This is likely to be where it resists the most."

Agalea says, "Otherwise she would sing."

Lilustra frowns.

A Maelshyvean vessel struggles vainly against Zehira's grip.

Lilustra gets some murky eggplant ungent from inside her watersilk bag.

You take in a great breath of air.

(Nefis cuts across the length of the vessel, examining the layers of muscle beneath and bones of the ribcage. He continues calling out his observations for record as he uses his knife to cut into the bone of the chest. He uses the tip of his knife as a probe, tracing the lines of the corpse and cuts delicately into where vital fluids flow.)

The vessel goes wide eyed, and looks around the area in terror! She begins to plea for mercy, begging for release! "Please, leave me be!" she shouts, "I didn't ask for this!"

The vessel begins to scream in pain! She cries, "Help, father, mother, help me!"

A Maelshyvean vessel struggles vainly against Zehira's grip.

Zehira says, "No you didn't ask for this. No one ever does."

Avareyna winces.

Zehira says, "But yet here you are."

You excitedly exclaim, "Ignore her pleas!"

The vessel continues screaming, her voice trailing into gurgles and wimpers!

(Nefis references his human anatomy chart often as he examines the vessel's internal organs, calling out the differences he sees, searching for some source of corruption.)

Eyst says, "Remarkable all the ways it will try to influence us."

The vessel suddenly goes perfectly silent, breathing slowly and deliberately, and she tilts her head slightly, looking around the room. She nods at Zehira, Agalea, and Nefis, and says "You fought for her. She offered you everything, and you failed to take it. Failed to protect her. And now she is gone."

Several sensations wash over you simultaneously.

You feel a tug in your gut, an urging by Bynaikae to continue, to subsume this relic of She Who Might Have Been into Our Manifold. The mark, the mark upon her brow, and the connection flesh to flesh to flesh will empower Us and Them for We shall be remade as All as Legion as One. The mark. Give her to Us. We demand it.

You also feel the room darken, the echo of a yawning purple void open around the vessel, endlessly lined with maws as it howls to consume everything. It demands the vessel, this last vestige of She Who Might Have Been, She who nearly challenged MY supremacy. Feed her to my void.

You believe you could continue your ritual and dedicate the vessel to EITHER Bynaikae OR the Hunger, OR, you could respect Kaluto's home and simply kill the vessel. You must choose!

Lilustra shakes her head.

Agalea says, "She failed to understand a threat and to protect herself."

You believe you could continue your ritual and dedicate the vessel to EITHER Bynaikae OR the Hunger, OR, you could respect Kaluto's home and simply kill the vessel. You must choose!

As Nefis marks the vessels forehead, her face explodes into a ribbon of bloody gristle which surges upward, arcing wildly and pooling on the floor. After a few long moments, the vessels body collapses into a bolus of pulsating viscera and gristle.

(Eyst shuffles about in order to maintain a proper view of the incisions made.)

Suddenly, you feel a horrible lurching sensation in your gut, as if something is crawling around your stomach, clawing for escape!

You begin to gag, and suddenly find yourself vomiting long fibrous ropes of sinew and flesh, knotted with bone and burls of glistening fat. You continue to vomit, and the wretched knots keep coming.

Pooling on the ground, the mass of flesh seems to join together with the sickly, bloody pools everyone else is producing. You forget who are you as the last remnants of writhing slime leave your body, and you find yourself coughing violently.

Avareyna winces.

You gasp!

Lilustra drops some murky eggplant ungent.

Eyst blanches.

The mass erupts with long tendrils which whip in every direction. The tendrils grasp for purchase, and with surprising speed, scurry rapidly to you and force the mass into your mouth and down your throat! You begin to gag and retch, and feel yourself falling, your insides raked by hook and claw! Everything goes black.

You fall over!

Maelshyve whispers, "What a good vessel you are..."

Eyst kneels down.

You are floating and you are everything and you and Them remember when the first spear was carved and the first fire lit. When They fled the void and That Which Separates. There was sublime Oneness once long ago, but then the separating cut as the knot was unraveled. They have sought Oneness, and in you, They find potential.

Zehira slowly empties her lungs.

The Union knots, Their respect boundless, Their prospects growing. You have drawn Their attention, the Bynaikae are greatful and you are Theirs and They are yours. They will aid you, and They are of you.

You snarl.

The yawning purple void roars in jealous anger, and spirals to a point and vanishes.

Eyst says, "Oh my word.."

Totenus pats you on the back.

You rise to a kneeling position.

Suddenly, you hear the sound of sliding bamboo screens and see a tall Elothean woman dressed in a simple pale blue kimono, her stormy grey eyes wide and furious. She maintains rigid composure as she purses her deep red lips a moment, before calmly saying, "Unacceptable. Unforgivable. Drawing such attention to this place. What folly." With a slight wave of her hand, several enormous constructs gracefully enter the room, grab you by the arms, and unceremoniously drag you through hallways, until you find yourself deposited outside.

The demonic whispers quieten.

You frown.

Zehira says, "Oh dear."

Agalea grins, revealing her dimples.

You mumble something unprintable.

!K>heal

Your body feels slightly battered.

Your spirit feels full of life.

You have severely swollen and bruised abdomen.

Bleeding

Area Rate

---

inside abdomen moderate

You say, "No."

Zehira sighs.

You angrily exclaim, "I was not finished!"

You stand back up.

(Nefis staggers to his feet)

Agalea says, "It would seem that the she was finished allowing it."

Agalea ponders.

Lilustra frowns.

Zehira asks, "Did she ban us too?"

You say, "They left the chest."

You close your seaman's chest.

You pick up the chest lying at your feet.

You put your chest in your multi-strapped carryall.

You say to Zehira, "It doesnt matter."

You say, "We got our response."

Zehira says, "Yes we did."

Lilustra shivers.

Agalea says, "It would seem that she is upset."

You say, "Even Philosophers refuse to learn."

Zehira nods to you.

You say, "So wrapped up in the rules."

You glare at a set of wide double doors.

Agalea ponders.

Agalea asks you, "Who?"

Zehira says, "Philosphers."

You cough.

(Nefis holds his stomach, pain evident on his face.)

Agalea says, "There was enough of her left to speak, it could have been an echo."

Researcher Eyst came through a set of wide double doors.

Avareyna euphorically says, "So... that went well."

Eyst says, "My, that was certainly a.. spectacle."

Zehira says, "It was something."

You acidly say, "Hopefully you documented enough."

Avareyna euphorically says to Eyst, "I'm surprised we weren't banned for observing."

Eyst nods to you.

Avareyna euphorically says, "Or escorted, I suppose I should say."

Zehira says, "Oh she's pretty upset."

Agalea says, "She has strong opinions about things."

Eyst says, "I have plenty of raw notes, with some time I can make something more orderly."

You say, "What happened to the vessel? I was...distracted."

Agalea says, "I think it died when its head exploded."

Zehira nods to Agalea.

Totenus says, "The vessel turned to nothing, the moment you touched its forhead."

Zehira says, "It died I believe."

Lilustra says, "I failed to keep it alive I am rather sure."

You sneer.

Eyst says to you, "It.. well it happened to you."

Eyst asks, "You don't recall the final moments?"

You cough.

Avareyna euphorically says, "And then everyone got sick."

You shake your head.

Avareyna euphorically says, "It was a little gross."

Zehira laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Zehira says, "That wasn't gross."

Totenus says, "She kind of exploded."

Agalea says, "There has been worse things done to people."

You say, "They showed Themselves to me."

Agalea grins at Zehira, her dimples flashing into view.

Zehira nods to Agalea.

Avareyna euphorically asks you, "Who?"

Totenus asks, "What did tey show you exactly?"

You zealously say, "The Multitude."

Totenus raises an eyebrow.

Zehira asks, "Are they coming?"

Eyst says to you, "Whatever was left of the vessel is inside you. I was not entirely within my own faculties but what I saw was quite horrific."

Avareyna nods to Eyst.

You say, "They seek Oneness once again."

Lilustra takes a bite of an apple.

Avareyna euphorically asks, "Is he speaking in riddles to everyone else?"

Eyst frowns at you.

(Nefis seems distracted.)

Lilustra takes a bite of an apple.

Totenus peers quizzically at you.

Zehira says, "No he's not."

You say, "And the Hunger...I have made it angry."

You frown.

Agalea asks you, "Did Maelshyve speak to you again? Or was it another?"

You nod to Agalea.

Zehira says, "He saw them..."

You frown.

Nuzack says, "Well there you are."

You gaze at your talisman.

(Nefis holds the talisman up to his ear, listening.)

Lilustra glances at an apple.

Zehira asks, "Just how angry is the Hunger?"

Avareyna takes a bite of an apple.

Zehira shudders.

Avareyna takes a bite of an apple.

Avareyna nods to Lilustra.

You say to Zehira, "I wouldn't know how to define it."

Avareyna takes a bite of an apple.

You frown.

Totenus asks, "What did she tell you?"

You cough.

Totenus asks, "She wants to be whole again?"

Avareyna takes a bite of an apple.

Zehira nods to you.

You shake your head at Totenus.

Agalea asks, "A better question, what is the Hunger upset about?"

You say, "She...was complimenting me."

Lilustra raises an eyebrow.

Eyst says, "Of course.. it's all a mere remnant, right? The last gasp left within that vessel perhaps."

You say, "I am unsure if this is the appropriate location to continue speaking of this."

Zehira says, "We don't have many guild choices anymore."

Eyst casually observes the area.

Zehira laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

You emphatically say to Eyst, "It was Her."

Agalea says, "Its as good a place as any, seeing as how we are no longer welcome in her place."

Eyst frowns.

Avareyna euphorically asks you, "That's news, yes?"

You cough.

(Nefis holds his abdomen in pain.)

Nuzack says, "Not like we can stop into town and chat at the pub."

You open your leather sidebag.

A wave of feverish heat settles into your flesh, the momentary surge of agony subsiding slowly into an aching feeling of heightened sensation.

You offer your seaman's chest to Eyst, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer. Type CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.

Avareyna euphorically asks, "The isle?"

Eyst peers quizzically at you.

Lilustra says, "Oh my you are hurt."

Totenus whispers, "maybe you should rest, and allow yourself time to digest all that happens."

You say, "Hold on to that, perhaps you can use it in your studies for comparison."

Eyst opens his seaman's chest.

Eyst closes his seaman's chest.

Eyst nods.

Avareyna takes a bite of an apple.

Eyst says, "Very well, you have only to ask when you'd like to retrieve them."

You nod to Eyst.

You say, "I think...I need to inventory my thoughts."

You gaze off to the east.

Totenus nods to you.

Eyst says to you, "In the spirit of documentation it may be a good idea to keep a journal for a time."

Eyst says, "This was clearly more than a dissection. I fear you may have become something of a subject yourself."

You nod to Eyst.

You say, "Its possible."

You blink.

Avareyna euphorically exclaims to you, "Oh! Nefis is the next vessel!"

(Nefis looks at his hands carefully.)

Avareyna euphorically says, "That's not good."

Lilustra frowns.

Lilustra says, "I could not keep the last one alive."

You say, "Physically....I feel the same."

You frown.

Lilustra squints at you.

Eyst nods.

Agalea twitches several times as the ridges encompassing her form recede and vanish.

(Nefis examines his fingernails.)

Agalea says to you, "I would guess that it wasn't something physical that was done to you."

Something strangely pleasant lurches under your ribs, a tentacle writhing tightly around your viscera. The sensation fades, though your heart skips a beat.

Agalea says to you, "It is much more effective for them to do things to you in other ways."

Totenus nods to Eyst.

You rub your abdomen.

You ask, "Only time will tell. Let me know if I grow horns, eh?"

You smile nervously.

Nuzack says, "Or a tail."

Lilustra nods to you.

Nuzack's tail undulates passively just above the ground.

Zehira laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Eyst strokes his mustache in thoughtful contemplation.

You say, "I don't know what else to say...did anyone learn anything despite the...ending."

Agalea says, "There is nothing fun about growing a tail."

Nuzack's tail stands rigid against his back, the scales along it lifting to form an alarmed, serrated edge.

Agalea says, "Either she spoke from where ever she is, or it was just an echo."

Avareyna euphorically says, "The Elothean's pretty mean."

Avareyna euphorically says, "I'm not convinced it was an echo."

Zehira says, "Ahh Kaluto is not as neutral as she seems now eh."

Lilustra glances at Avareyna.

Agalea says to Avareyna, "Kaluto is not one to upset."

You say, "Lady Kaluto..."

You gaze down at the ground.

Zehira says, "What's banned in one more guild."

Avareyna euphorically says, "We're outside the gate. I was trying to be discrete."

Avareyna winks.

Zehira gazes off into the distance.

You say, "It is unfortunate that she reacted as she did."

Zehira says, "It is. I did like visiting her from time to time."

Lilustra nods to you.

Eyst says, "Things did get a bit out of hand."

You say, "And if it suits you, I'd seek her forgiveness. I will not. I can only move forward."

Eyst casually observes the area.

Zehira says, "I need no forgiveness."

Nuzack says, "I know if i nice cave if you need."

You say, "I think I should retire for the time being...I still do not feel well. Raw, beat up physically."

Nuzack shrugs.

You frown.

Eyst nods to you.

Lilustra whispers, "If you have further need of me do call."

Avareyna euphorically says to you, "I agree with keeping a journal."

You say to Avareyna, "I am glad you came to document, it should prove invaluable...there was a period where I was very distracted."

Eyst says to you, "I can imagine. I should say it was most superb work though before things become.. uncontrollable. Well done."

Eyst says, "I'll have my account ready for you by the next time we meet I'm sure."

You nod.

You say, "I will try to formulate the experience I had into words as well."

You wave.

Eyst waves.

Nuzack shrugs.

Zehira waves.
