Echleru, the friend-minion and the Storm thingies

Talbain

So this is my first role playing event that I have and it was so much fun.

Mad props to @Echleru for being awesomely adorable. Many thanks to Antioch for being cool too. Very welcoming and very nice. Special mention to @Sarrius for taking time with me  and teaching me the ropes.


Trigger warning for Wall o' Text

A bronze and sea green orb drifts into view, bathing the area in orange-hued
light.

Tahirah sweeps Echleru across the floor, dazzling Echleru with her footwork.

Echleru drifts about Tahirah.

Echleru Ooh!

Echleru looks up into the air for divine inspiration.

Tahirah's eyes twinkle enchantingly.

Echleru says, "Ooh."

Cordilia snickers at Echleru.

Echleru drifts around Cordilia.

Cordilia raises her hand in greeting to Echleru and says "Hi!"

Echleru says to Sarrius, "Where is this table?"

look echleru
She is a radiant entity. She appears as two translucent orbs that rotate
independent and opposite of the other, a different colour swirling across the
surface of each. The outer orb has a scale-like texture across its surface with
splotches of sea green here and there. The inner orb however is entirely smooth
and glassy, and is almost completely covered in a bronze color that partially
obscures the orange-hued light within, though its radiance shines through both
orbs.

You blink.

With a flourish of her arm, Tahirah bows deeply.

Echleru says, "Oh, another fuzzy one."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "There is no table, Echleru. When I say 'the offer is on the table', it means that it stands open for you to accept until I rescind it."

You say, "I'm not fuzzy."

Echleru drifts over to you and chimes, "Hello."

You say, "I just have fur."

Tahirah's eyes twinkle enchantingly at Echleru.

You say to Echleru, "Hello."

You ask Echleru, "What are you?"

Echleru says to you, "I am Echleru. Who are you?"

You say to Echleru, "Talbain."

Echleru says, "I think you mean 'who are you.' I had problems learning that one
also."

You ask Echleru, "I'm.... new?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "I will leave you two to become acquainted. I am going to go shed some blood."

Tahirah waves goodbye at Sarrius.

Echleru says, "Steal sparklies for me."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "I shall return soon."

Vizier Tahirah Dra'Nyk says, "Glorious, Shah."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "I will bring you something amusing from the Scar."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, ".. perhaps."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "I haven't decided yet."

Sarrius's eyes twinkle enchantingly.

You say to Echleru, "So...."

Sarrius, Aspect of Moradeim leaves to the ether, a feeling of confusion leaving with him.

H:85 M:70 <eb> You say to Echleru, "What are you up to... uhm..."

You say, "Orb...."

You say, "Uhm.."

Echleru says, "Oh, I see."

Vizier Tahirah Dra'Nyk says to you, "She is an Entity, a gift to our lands."

Lalitana flashes Echleru a joyous smile.

Lalitana, Aspect of Moradeim leaves to the west, a feeling of confusion leaving with her.

Echleru says to you, "I am an entity. One day I will have arms and will stab people."

Echleru says, "And guard things."

"Wow!" you exclaim!

You say to Echleru, "One day I'll... maybe smash people too."

You glare angrily at a spiritual mace.

Echleru says to you, "You are very old to be new. Have you slept a long time?"

You say to Echleru, "The longest."

Echleru says to you, "I am new, too, but I am made of very old... stuff."

You say, "Oh really."

You say to Echleru, "We have lots in common."

You ask Echleru, "Friends?"

Echleru says to you, "Okay!"

You say to Echleru, "Just don't stab me when you get arms."

Echleru says to you, "Okay, I will not add you to the stab list. But only if you do not tell Lalitana I have a stab list."

Echleru says, "You should be friends with Tahirah, too. She is very nice."

You say, "Echleru lips are sealed."

Echleru says, "Ooh."

Sirinae performs a graceful curtsey.

Tahirah's eyes twinkle enchantingly.

Echleru says to Sirinae, "Hello. Who are you?"

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "I'd be Sirinae, Ambassador to this fine city."

With a flourish of her arm, Tahirah bows deeply.

Vizier Tahirah Dra'Nyk smiles and says, "Ambassador."

Sirinae inclines her head respectfully.

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "Greetings."

You say to Tahirah, "She's a gift."

Echleru says, "She is?"

Echleru says to Sirinae, "You are a gift for me?"

Sirinae raises an eyebrow questioningly.

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "I'm no-ones gift.."

Echleru says, "Oh, too bad. You are a very pretty not-gift."

You say to Sirinae, "No, a gift to our lands. And when she gets arms She will... I can't tell because I promised."

Sirinae smiles wryly, a look of amusement passing over her features.

You wink at Echleru.

Tahirah chuckles softly.

A smelly one-eyed cat arrives from the southwest, howling loudly.

You say to Sirinae, "Also, I know you."

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says to Echleru, "And who..might you be, oh radiant orbs of.. glowyness?"

Vizier Tahirah Dra'Nyk looks thoughtful and says to a smelly orange cat, "Yes, you are wonderful as well, you remind us that we still have noses."

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says to you, "Indeed you do."

Echleru says to Sirinae, "I am Echleru, I am an entity."

You say to Sirinae, "And we are friends now."

You beam broadly.

Sirinae flashes you a joyous smile.

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "Correct."

Leaving an odorous trail, a one-eyed cat stalks out to the northeast.

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says to Echleru, "A pleasure to
meet you."

You ask Sirinae, "Didn't you talk to me about joining the city?"

Sirinae performs a graceful curtsey.

You exclaim to Sirinae, "Oh!"

Sirinae gives you a nod of acknowledgement.

Echleru bobs politely in the air.

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

You say, "Entities...."

Tahirah nibbles quietly on her bottom lip.

Echleru says, "Yes?"

You say to Echleru, "Curious. I have never heard of those things. But I'm glad I know you now."


Echleru says to you, "I have never heard of Talbains before either, so we are even."

You say to Echleru, "We are a rare breed. So far I've only seen one."

Echleru says to you, "I have only seen one Echleru, too, but she has a sister named Vyir."

"Oh?" you exclaim quizzically.

Tahirah's eyes twinkle enchantingly.

You ask, "Is she an orb too?"

Echleru says, "Umm... no."
"Oooooooooh!" you say, eyes wide with wonder.

You ask Echleru, "Is she nice?"

Echleru says, "I do not know. Maybe?"

You nod sagely.

(Antioch): Sirinae says, "Hail, Drakit!"

You ask, "And where is she?"

Echleru spins slowly, blinking with curious light. "Other places with other people."

You nod sagely.

You say to Echleru, "If I had a sister maybe I wouldn't be around her."

You say to Echleru, "Or maybe I would."

Tahirah sucks thoughtfully on her teeth.

You ask Echleru, "Would you?"

Echleru says to you, "I tried to eat my sister once, but others yelled at me and said it was bad."

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

Echleru says, "They said that only bad entities eat other entities."

You ask, "Is it common to eat entities?"

Echleru says, "I am not sure."

You nod your head.

Vizier Tahirah Dra'Nyk smiles and says to Echleru, "It was nice to see you, you make the days of silence worth it. I must go again your radiance."

Tahirah bows respectfully to Echleru.

Echleru says, "I only know one that I know ate others for sure... but they have killed each other."

Echleru says to Tahirah, "Thank you for coming and seeing me again, do not stay away so long!"

Vizier Tahirah Dra'Nyk smiles and says, "Of course."

Tahirah is enveloped in translucent fire for a moment and is gone, her soul safe until she returns to Imperian.

You ask Echleru, "And what do you like?"

Echleru says to you, "I like to learn, and I like to visit Antioch and Ithaqua."
The shifting form of Sarrius, Aspect of Moradeim enters from the ether.
The shifting form of Septus, riding a hulking velociraptor, Aspect of Moradeim enters from the ether.

You blink.

Echleru says to you, "I like Septus because he will help me stab people until I have arms."

Sarrius smirks.

Septus gives Echleru an acknowledging nod.

Sirinae smiles wryly, a look of amusement passing over her features.

Sarrius's eyes gleam with generosity.

Sarrius gives a piece of kelp to Echleru.

You say to Echleru, "Septus seems like the kind of person that would help stabbing."

Echleru glows brightly, the piece of kelp disappearing within the inner orb.

Echleru says to you, "Airamaya says he is good at it, so I am not allowed to put him on my stabbing list."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I have thought about your offer."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer asks Echleru, "Is that so?"

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I have decided..."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "That I am going to think about it more."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Splendid."

You whisper to Sarrius, "What offer??"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "I offered Echleru a place as one of the Stormtouched."

You ask, "Stormtouched?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "A member of the Cult of Storms."

You blink.

Echleru says, "What does that even mean to be a member?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "Members of the cult are colloquially referred to as 'the Stormtouched'."

The shifting form of Lalitana, Aspect of Moradeim enters from the west.

Lalitana gives an intricately tooled leather coat to Sarrius.

Lalitana purses her lips contemplatively.

Echleru drifts over to float around Lalitana.

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says to Sarrius, "I've been meaning to join a cult.. can you tell me what yours stands for?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Simply. You are one of us. We will look out for you. In the end, if it is your desire, you can take your seat as our entity. No trickery, no lies, no deceit. It is your choice entirely to do so or not."

Lalitana flashes Echleru a joyous smile.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer asks Sirinae, "Have you read our charter?"

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "Not yet."

You blink.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Sirinae, "That should give you a little bit of an idea."

You ask Echleru, "Is she the one that shall not know?"

Echleru says to Lalitana, "Are you a stormthingy too, asker of winds?"

Lalitana gives silver-trimmed ebon wool trousers to Sarrius.

You point accusingly at Lalitana.

Sarrius puts on silver-trimmed ebon wool trousers.

Lalitana gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

Echleru says to you, "Yes, do not tell her."

You tap your nose knowingly at Echleru.

Farah Lalitana Chytovil says to Echleru, "I am part of the Cult of Storms, yes."

Echleru says to you, "Septus taught me that what they do not know cannot hurt you."

Septus nods sagely.

Farah Lalitana Chytovil says to you, "And what is it I am not to know? Is Echleru telling you to keep secrets from a Mukht---."

Lalitana gives Septus the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Sarrius glances at Lalitana, before looking back at Echleru.

You ask Lalitana, "Know what?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer mutters, "Have .. watch .. hide.."

You exclaim to Lalitana, "I'm Talbain!"

Sarrius puts on an intricately tooled leather coat.

Sarrius kisses Lalitana gently on the lips.

You say to Lalitana, "Nice to meet you."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Lalitana, "Thank you, love. I felt nude without this thing."

Sarrius pats an intricately tooled leather coat in a friendly manner.

Echleru says, "Eww, nude Sarrius."

Farah Lalitana Chytovil says to you, "It's nice to meet you as well."

Lalitana kisses Sarrius gently on the lips.

Echleru says, "What is nude?"

Farah Lalitana Chytovil says to Echleru, "I did teach you that already."

Echleru says, "Hmm. Oh, that is the no clothes like me."

Sirinae chews absently on her lip, deep in thought.

Echleru says, "But I do not need clothes yet..."

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "I might want to join this bloodbath.. though I need a moment to prepare."

Sirinae leaves to the southeast.

Farah Lalitana Chytovil says to Echleru, "Yes, but those of us with mortal bodies do."

Echleru floats down closer to Lalitana and chimes, "You will make me pretty clothes soon."

Lalitana chuckles faintly as she smooths down the pallu of her sari.

Farah Lalitana Chytovil says to Echleru, "Perhaps, if you ask nicely."

You say to Echleru, "You will need something... for the arms... so you can... you know..."

Echleru says to Lalitana, "I would like pretty clothes soon please."

Lalitana's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Echleru says to you, "Stab people!"

Echleru says, "Oops."

"Eep!" you scream in fright.

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Septus says, "Speaking of stabbing people."

Sarrius gives Septus an acknowledging nod.

Septus, riding a hulking velociraptor, Aspect of Moradeim leaves to the ether, a feeling of confusion leaving with him.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "Win this one."

"Hmph!" Sarrius snorts.

Echleru says, "I will tell him for you."

With a pulse of light, the bronze and sea green orb drifts out of view.

A bronze and sea green orb drifts into view, bathing the area in orange-hued light.

Echleru says, "Okay, I told him you said he was supposed to win."

Lalitana smirks.

You nod sagely.

You ask, "What's a charter?"

Echleru says, "Yes, what's a charter?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "Simple - it is a document
drawn up and written to establish an organization of import."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "Namely, a cult. Charters used to
be drawn to establish new guilds, but cities and councils have since ceased
accepting them."

You say to Sarrius, "And where can we find the one about the Storm people
things people."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "The world is too full of them as
is."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "You can see that by looking
up our charter."
======
Information about the Cult of Storms:
Cult leader: Sarrius
Entity: (nobody)

The roll of thunder reaches out, foretelling the coming of much to those who
would listen and watch for the signs carried on the winds. Those same winds
bring with them the flashing reach of lightning, its sharp tines spreading
wide, delving the darkest corners of the world. And whether it be by coolness
of rain, freezing touch of snow, or harshness of sand, there is little that can
withstand the cleansing power that the storms bring. The land can be just as
easily rejuvenated by the storm as it can be torn asunder, this duality lending
credence to the storm as a thing of reverence and awe. In the storm, the cult's
following sees many things: knowledge, supreme power, authority, and even a
fleeting glimpse of what might come to pass.

The Stormtouched see the opportunity for wisdom in the rumble of thunder, and a
chance at glory in the blinding flash of lightning. However, whether it be
solitary reflection or blazing glory and bloodshed, there is one truth that
each of those who have felt the storms call to them: Aetherius possesses vast
lands full of experiences meant to be enjoyed and sights to behold, and each of
the Stormtouched knows that they were born to go wherever the winds take them.
======

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

You say to Echleru, "I've heard that when you change, you change according to
the people around you."

Echleru says to you, "I do?"

You say to Echleru, "Yeah. Like growing arms and stuff."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Does not the parchment
change when the author puts quill to it?"

Sirinae arrives from the southeast.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Does not marble change
when sculpted by a mason?"

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I do not know."

You say to Echleru, "It is settled."

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "And I miss the bloodbath..
darn.."

Sirinae chuckles long and heartily.

You say to Echleru, "I will follow you when you get arms."

You say to Echleru, "So I may look at how you stab people."

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Sarrius grunts noncommittally.

You say to Echleru, "I mean... you know."

Lalitana leans on Sarrius seeking consolation.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "You have a retainer and
sworn bannerman .. once you have the arms to fashion a banner."

Sarrius chuckles softly.

Echleru says to you, "Okay! I will be sure to go somewhere good and make sure
you are safe, too."

You say to Echleru, "Oh, please. I don't want to end up in like a volcano or
something."

A smelly one-eyed cat arrives from the north, howling loudly.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "There was once an ascendari whom
threatened to throw us in volcanos and oceans."

Echleru says to you, "You know, I have been looking for someone fuzzy to put in
a volcano so I can see what burns first..."

Leaving an odorous trail, a one-eyed cat stalks out to the west.

You say to Echleru, "Cats are fuzzy."

Sarrius looks thoughtfully at Sirinae's profile, pondering the situation.

You say, "There's one that is smelly and one eyed."

You say, "Around here..."

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Echleru says, "I like that cat."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer asks, "The leopard that just hacked apart
Ozreas?"

Echleru says, "No, the smelly one eyed one."

Comprehension flashes across Sarrius's face.

Echleru says, "He does need a bath, though."

You say to Echleru, "Don't worry, we will find you a fuzzy thing for you to
throw in a volcano."

Echleru says, "But he goes on adventures, I followed him through the sewers and
along the walls one night. He keeps the city safe."

Sirinae leaves to the southeast.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "Is that so?"

Echleru says, "Yes. He said so."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer asks, "The kitten?"

Echleru says, "Yes, the one with one eye. He is smelly because he patrols in
dark gross places for bad people."

Comprehension flashes across your face.

Sarrius nods his head.

You say, "That makes sense."

Echleru says, "Don't you ever talk to the cat to see what he is doing?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "No. The cat is incapable of
communicating with me verbally."

You say to Echleru, "I don't think we can understand... cat-talk."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "As a Druid, I was once able to
communicate with animals, but no longer."

Echleru says, "Why not? You are both very old, you think you would have learned
by now."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "Some language barriers are
difficult to overcome."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "We'll get there, one of these
days."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "Your wife talks to wind. What is your excuse?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "I am too busy crushing
skulls."

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "She is too busy clothing you. Stop tearing up her
clothes."

You nod your acknowledgement of Sarrius.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "They do not tear, they
run ragged from wearing them."

Echleru drifts around Lalitana while flashing a defiant light.

Echleru says to you, "If you are following me, are you my minion?"

Sarrius utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

You say to Echleru, "I don't know."

You ask Sarrius, "Am I?"

Echleru says to you, "Can friends be minions?"

You say to Echleru, "I don't know."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "Personally, were I you, I
would prefer the phrase 'vassal'. Perhaps 'retainer'. 'Sworn sword', even."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "Minion sounds seedy, if not
also carrying implication of expendability."

Sarrius smirks.

Echleru says, "Minions are not expendable!"

Echleru says, "You would run out eventually."

You say to Echleru, "Well, I am not expendable. Remember, there's only one
Talbain left."

Echleru says to you, "They are rare, yes."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "That is what makes a
good tyrant, frankly - a near limitless supply of goons to throw at their
enemies."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "Are you a tyrant?"

Smirking, Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "I might be.
Depends on who you ask."

You say to Echleru, "I don't think tyrants admit they are tyrants."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "Oh no, I proudly admit it."

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

Echleru says, "Hmm."

You ask Echleru, "What should I be?"

Echleru says to you, "You should be Talbain."

You say to Echleru, "Minion sounds like minute."

Echleru says to you, "Talbain, friend of Echleru, who is amazing."

The shifting form of Septus, riding a hulking velociraptor, Aspect of Moradeim
enters from the ether.

Sarrius smirks.

Echleru says, "Echleru is amazing. Not sure about Talbain yet."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "At least you are good a bragging."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "At, rather."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I learned it from watching you."

You snicker softly to yourself.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Then you have learned
from the best."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "Septus might be better."

Septus purses his lips, deep in thought.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Septus has modesty."

Echleru says to Septus, "Are you a tyrant?"

Septus shakes his head.

Echleru says to Septus, "Are you a minion?"

You ask Echleru, "Talbain, friend of the amazing Echleru?"

Septus says, "Too much politics involved."

Sarrius utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "We really need to work
on your Common, by the way."

Sarrius frowns at Echleru.

Echleru says to Sarrius, "Why?"

Septus says, "Being a minion isn't a bad position. But I'd not say I'm a
minion."

Echleru says to Septus, "Okay, you are not my minion then."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "It is much more
empowering to say 'I', instead of 'Echleru'."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "'I' implies
individuality and personality, which you definitely have developed in spades."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I was clarifying my previous sentence as to whom I
was referring to as being amazing."

"Good!" Sarrius enthuses.

Sirinae arrives from the southeast.

Septus sucks thoughtfully on his teeth.

Echleru says to you, "Don't trust the Sarrius. He will try to teach you things
that are confusing and opposites."

Sarrius smirks.

Echleru says to you, "Lalitana is good people, though."

Septus sighs softly, nodding his head.

You say to Echleru, "Noted."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "Echleru does not like my
philosophy lessons."

You say to Sarrius, "But you are tricking and confusing."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to you, "Tricking? No. Confusing?
Yes."

Echleru says, "Yes."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "I am nothing but forthright and
honest."

Echleru says to you, "He does omit, though. You have to watch for the omits."

You say to Echleru, "I heard he is a Shah and Shah are the big leader of
Antioch."

Septus says, "In other words."

Septus says, "He is the one we blame when things go wrong."

You say to Echleru, "And the big leaders need to confuse people."

Echleru says to you, "Yes, but Lalitana is Farah and they are leaders, too."

Lalitana smiles wryly, a look of amusement passing over her features.

You say to Echleru, "Maybe Farah are nice and Shah are confusing."

Echleru says to you, "Would make sense. Female are better than male usually."

You exclaim to Echleru, "Hey!"

Lalitana kisses Sarrius gently on the lips.

Sirinae smiles wryly, a look of amusement passing over her features.

Echleru says to you, "It is okay, you have me. You are better by default."

You say to Echleru, "I'm a male."

You say to Echleru, "Oh, Alright."

Lalitana grows still and her lips begin to move silently.

You incline your head toward Lalitana respectfully.

Echleru says, "Nooooo."

Sarrius kisses Lalitana gently on the lips.

Lalitana waves goodbye.

Lalitana is enveloped in translucent fire for a moment and is gone, her soul
safe until she returns to Imperian.

Sirinae performs a graceful curtsey.

Sirinae chews absently on her lip, deep in thought.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "It would likely help
your thought process if you communicated with other Stormtouched."


Echleru says to Sarrius, "I have talked to many."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Airamaya? Ambrose?
Cerex?"

Echleru says to Sarrius, "They are all friends."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "How about Kryss and
Menoch?"

Septus purses his lips, deep in thought.

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I have talked to both. I plan on stabbing Menoch. He
is top of my stab list."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Merelii?"

Septus gives Echleru an unequivocal thumbs-up.

Echleru says, "Yes."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Tahirah?"

Echleru says, "I knew Tahirah before she was stormthingy."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Xaarin?"

Echleru says, "Yes. He has a funny tail."

Sarrius smirks.

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "Cordilia?"

Echleru says, "She showed me the altar, and what a storm looked like."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "You know many of us around, then."

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I told you, Airamaya already told me to come join.
She said I could have a body of storm clouds and as many arms as I want."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "How many would you
like, ideally?"

You say to Echleru, "Say many."

Echleru says to you, "How many is many?"

You say to Echleru, "More arms means more stabbing. So maybe like... more than
four?"

Echleru says to you, "But can I not just stab fast with two? Will not many get
in the way?"

Septus gives Echleru an acknowledging nod.

Septus says, "Stabbing yourself by accident would be exceedingly embarrassing."

You say to Echleru, "Good point."

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "No arms persay... but she
can reach out with streaks of lightning, which those alone have numerous arms
and branches."

You say to Echleru, "Maybe three."

Sirinae nods sagely.

Sarrius smirks.

Echleru says, "Hrm. I will have to think about it."

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

You ask Echleru, "What would you like to be?"

Echleru says to you, "I do not know. I think I will just be me and see what
happens."

You say to Echleru, "Good idea. Being me is not that hard."

You say to Echleru, "I assume being you for you would be not that hard either."

Echleru says to you, "It would be very hard for me to be you, though. You are
very fuzzy."

You say to Echleru, "And you are very Orb-like and..."

You say, "Radiant."

Echleru says to you, "And amazing. Or are you good at being amazing, too?"

You say to Echleru, "I think I'm amazing too."

You brandish a spiritual mace menacingly.

You ask, "See?"

You say, "Also..."

You poke at a Seraphic guardian.

Echleru says to you, "Oh, okay! You have that part down then."

Echleru says to you, "Now try to roll into a ball and float."

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

You roll your eyes.

You shake your head.

You ponder the situation.

You begin to tumble agilely to the northeast.

You tumble out of the room.

You begin to tumble agilely to the southwest.

You tumble out of the room.
Antioch Shuk.

You say, "That's as good as I can do."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says, "He will get back to you on the
feat of levitation."

Sirinae smiles wryly, a look of amusement passing over her features.

You ponder for a moment and say "Hrm..."

You ask Sarrius, "Can I levitate?"

Sirinae takes a drink from a winter-painted ebony vial.

Sirinae gives a winter-painted ebony vial to you.

You take a drink of an elixir of levitation from a winter-painted ebony vial.
Your body begins to feel lighter and you feel that you are floating slightly.

Echleru says, "I can levitate."

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says, "Drink it."

Sirinae winks.

You say to Echleru, "I'm levitating."

You nod your head.

Echleru says to Sarrius, "Did you have to talk to everyone in the stormsthingy
to be in it too?"

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Me?"

Echleru says to Sarrius, "Yes."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "No, dear Echleru. I
formed it myself. I am the founder."

Echleru says, "Ferriter calls me that."

Shah Sarrius Chytovil, the Baneslayer says to Echleru, "Just as I am the
founder of the Wild Hunt and the Cult of the Dream Realm."


You ask Echleru, "Do you know about the Stormthingies?"

Echleru says to you, "Not really. Though I guess I have made friends with many
of them. None of them told me they were stormthingies."

Echleru says, "Well, except Airamaya and Ambrose."

Echleru says, "And Cordilia."

(Ring): Septus says, "TARGET juran."

You say to Echleru, "I heard they like to be like Storms and go places or something."

Echleru says to you, "Oh? Cordilia told me they are like life and death and
rebirth in the world."

Echleru says, "I think I should go away for a while."

You say to Echleru, "Well, I guess they can be like that. I heard, but I heard little."

You say to Echleru, "Be well, friend."

Echleru says to you, "You should learn more and tell me about it."

You beam broadly at Echleru with a sunny smile.

You say to Echleru, "It is my task now!"

Echleru says to you, "You aren't a storm thingy, so you will have a neutral opinion of what you learn."

You give Echleru a respectful salute.

You nod your acknowledgement of Echleru.

Echleru says to Sirinae, "It was nice to meet you, Ambassador."

Echleru says to you, "I will find you again for information, friend-minion Talbain!"

Exemplar Sirinae Aelinelda, The Frosted Lyke says to Echleru, "And you, Echleru, glowing entity."

With a pulse of light, the bronze and sea green orb drifts out of view.

Talbain

EDIT: Disregard (maybe delete?)

Iniar

Echleru says to Sarrius, "I have talked to both. I plan on stabbing Menoch. He is top of my stab list."

Lol

Sarrius

As usual, @Echleru gives me a good laugh with how literal she is. The player behind her clearly has a lot of patience for the kind of long-winded nonsense I throw out every day, too.
