Re: Heirlooms (Mind Flayer) GMed by GargantuaBlarg
"B-but, I dun wanna leeave..." she replied, her voice taking on a vague hint of a whine. "I like being a guard. I get to stop people from doing bad things, and help people that need it, and stuff..." She poked her pointer fingers together as she spoke, still seemingly a bit anxious. If Elise was right, though, she didn't really have anything to worry about, though, did she?
Before Elise and her pair of verdant beauties made it a few steps from the table, though, the man who had done most of the talking called out again.
"Uh... hey, wait a moment! Since you seem ta be low on cash at the moment, there was this other job we heard about goin' around-"
"Al, you're gonna suggest she pick that gig up? You serious?" piped up the Amazonian woman.
"She can decide if she can handle it or not, Kim" he muttered back, before continuing. "This other job, from some consul or somethin'. Said they were havin' trouble with spiders, on one of the roads to one of the villages. You should look that up, maybe, if you need the coin, eh? And uh.. well, your two friends there don't look like they got weapons, so if I'm right in assumin' you're the only one that can fight, you might be able to find another merc who ain't in a company like we are to go with ya - split the reward or somethin', yeah?"
'Kim' looked unsatisfied, however, speaking up once the man apparently named "Al" had finished. "Look, girl, the jungle ain't no place to fool around in - we've been on our fair share a' jobs, but about a quarter of us are Badarians that don't know nothin' 'bout the jungle, and half of the rest of us know that, even when you do know the jungle, ya still ain't safe from it. Just... fair warnin'."
"There was also somethin' 'bout some crazy old man goin' around the refugees, sayin' somethin' about 'needing something done'. Dunno if it's actually a job or how he even intends to pay if it is, but it probably does beat goin' off into the jungle."
Aleth looked a little sad when Elise asked her to show her the way to the temple. "That's outside the Army Quarter," looking a little regretful as she said it. "It's pretty easy to find, though. I'll go ask the Cap!"
They made for Aleth's gate, again - the other half-demon explaining how to get to the temple, just in case - describing it as 'a place where people went to 'focus their minds and do away with worldly distractions or some junk'. Jivi and Roxanne insisted on continuing to cling to the girl's arms - and again, Elise wasn't sure which of the two it was, but found herself with a tentacle wrapping itself around her waist. At one point, Roxanne unwrapped one arm to run her hand alone Elise's tail, stopping briefly at it's end to rub at it's tip. Both plantgirls cooed and hmmed as they strolled on - and evidently, the display of affection seemed to distract Aleth just a little, who started to blush and stutter just a little.
Eventually, they got back to the gate - the sun somewhat higher in the sky, though not yet at it's noon peak - but they were greeted at it's front by some kind of disturbance. It looked like the Captain was arguing with someone that was completely covered in a hooded robe. They looked... slim. With the jungle's humidity and heat, it wasn't too surprising the robe looked rather damp... but something seemed to be thrashing underneath it.
"Look, I'm sorry, Kavi, but I've got specific orders not to let you in! Those theories you keep bringin' ta Cyne never pan out!"
"But the noticeboard said anyone with information could go and speak with him!"
"With information, Kav, not cr... uh..."
"What were you gonna say, 'crazy made up nonsense?' This isn't Xen Chi's Postulate, I extrapolated these hypotheses from data I've been gathering, just like Cyne has! And we all know I'm in their heads better than he is!"
"I don't even know what you just-"
The stranger gasped. "That's it, isn't it? You won't let me in because of my condition!"
"What? No, that's not it..."
"That's Kavi," Elise's guide informed her. "She comes around sometimes. She's, like... a mage? But, she like, can't cast spells... sooo... I'm not sure what you call that... anyway, um, I think she said she was from Celesis one time. That's like, a really big magey city. Or it used to be, anyway, before the invasion."
