Mana P4y1s04

Mana: And so it was written: Pokiehlember 4th, Year 1, Undine's Day. The thick morning fog is gently rising as the sun ascends higher. A gloomy, crisp morning - the forests of Dryad, by the gate, are cast in shining grey.
Toth: "Best to get on, then, I've dallied long enough." With that, he heads for the Dryad gate, into Undine. From there he plans to head through the drains into Shade…
Mana: The iceberg looms high in the harbor, and the sea-water froths and churns about the wharves with each crack of the waves. Ironclads stand vigil on street corners.
Mana: But eventually, you climb up to the huge drain pipes - and the runoff water there is still nicely warm, hot with the tailings of the Salamander forges.
Mana: And then the well known route - the descent down through the vertical market, and -
Mana: …Wait, one of the store's lights is on.
Mana: In that weird little ruins of a market street at a 60-degree incline, one of the glass-fronted boutiques has their lights on, a tiny sign reading "UNDER NEW MNGEMENT"
Toth straightens up and eyes the shop warily. Eventually, he relents, and can't help but investigate.
Mana: Through the door and through a black velvet curtain - a bell rings.
Mana: The owner - a beanpole of a man, young, in a suit with shaggy black hair and a mismatched moustache and a top-hat - smile as you enter. "Welcome. Feel free to look around."
Mana: …It seems just like an ordinary item shop.
Toth: "Hello." He glances about. "I guess the rent was right?"
Mana: "We're still moving inventory in, you see. Should have the grand opening going soon."
Mana: He smiles. "If business comes to you, location doesn't matter!"
Toth: "Fair enough. Won't the monsters bother you?"
Mana: He strokes his chin. "That's true…. hadn't considered that, had I?"
Toth shrugs. "It's your call. Maybe you'll get business from them."
Mana: "Well, they are full of lucre, aren't they…?"
Toth checks the store's prices… candy… fairy walnuts…
Mana: "Anyway, this is an interesting city. Lots of room for a good importer."
Toth: "With it being so difficult to get in and out, yes. (Though I suspect that's lessened now.)"
Mana: Candy's at 50. That's a 400-gil fairy walnut bin, though, right next to the jars of dragon oil.
Toth: "I hope it works out for you, then." He puts down 50 lucre for a Candy. "Just passing through, but I do that a lot. Hope to see you again."
Mana: He smiles cannily, scooping the money up. "Maybe it's a good location after all!"
Toth pockets the Candy. "I'm Mr. Toth. Sorry for the late introduction."
Wilhelmine makes her way past the store, not keen on stopping by to peruse the goods. She's without her jacket, and her face still carries that mad smile she had earlier in Gnome. (If she's not here for the shop, maybe she's here for … the monsters?)
Mana: "I'm Distant Sky Imports, of course! Should… really put a sign up."
Toth: "There's still time. Haven't had the grand opening." He smiles and nods, then turns to leave.
Mana: There's Wilhelmine, out there, when Toth heads out -
Mana: (And there's Toth there, when he heads out, too.)
Toth: "Morning, Wilhelmine." He begins his descent.
Toth doubletakes at her smile.
Wilhelmine adjusts her gloves and widens her grin even more at Toth. "Goooood morning. It's gonna be a good day, isn't it?"
Toth: "…"
Toth: "Who are you and what have you done with our good fri-… our good… person, Wilhelmine?"
Wilhelmine glances up absentmindedly for a moment. "Hm. Undine's day. Not exactly suited for what I have in mind, but… oh, there's some defiant irony in it, I suppose."
Toth sort of nods his head in acceptance. "In any case… yes, it'll be a good day."
Wilhelmine: "Would you believe me if I said I was the Mana Goddess and I was simply borrowing Wilhelmine's face for a bit?"
Toth: "Yes."
Toth: "Stranger things have happened."
Wilhelmine: "True. Even if it's a bald-faced lie."
Wilhelmine: "I'm just feeling like my old self again."
Toth: "Mmm. Off to anywhere in particular?"
Wilhelmine: "Just looking for some sort trouble at the moment. I have plans after, of course, but I'm feeling a mite bloodthirsty."
Toth shrugs his shoulders, and displaces his bow with his staff. [Equipped Bow -> Staff
Wilhelmine: "So, lead the way, sir, and you'll have quite the able-bodied bodyguard."
Toth: "So long as it's only blood you're after…" He slides down a bit, catching his foot on a brick, and hops down.
Wilhelmine: "As opposed to what?"
Mana: A quick descent down into Whisper Causeway.
Toth: "I'm on my way to where Sage Joch used to live. I'd appreciate it if it could be in one piece for investigating."
Toth: "Until we need to knock down a wall or open a safe, of course."
Wilhelmine: "Of course, of course."
Toth: "One question, though."
Toth: "Do you know the way to the forest of monuments?"
Mana: Green fugnus glimmers all around, on platforms jutting out from either side of a tall, blocky canyon.
Toth: "Or… have we already been there?"
Mana: One way towards Carceri, the other towards the Gnome gate.
Toth: "Just, under another name."
Wilhelmine shrugs haplessly. "Haven't heard of it. Though if you take its name poetically, it may mean a graveyard more than a forest."
Toth: "Better ask around, then. I'd… research it in a library, but the books have bite…"
Toth: "…which sounds like a great idea, now."
Wilhelmine: "Grand."
Toth also shuffles into the front row, and heads off towards KKC.
Mana: The Dreaming City is quiet - the courtyard of the university, past that long chain, is not.
Mana: There's a fire being burnt in the courtyard, stacks upon stacks of papers and recordings all thrown in a huge heap, along with huge reels of spinner-tape.
Wilhelmine: "Ah, this library? My next stop is close by, then."
Toth: "I can't think of a better one."
Wilhelmine double-takes at the fire, then rushes over. " - hold on a second. What's the meaning of this?"
Toth: "…er?"
Mana: "Throwing out results." One of the older students explains.
Wilhelmine: "Falsified ones, I hope?"
Mana: "Well, who the hell knows how they got em."
Mana: "But they claimed they had a complete lock on the Titania system, and now, well, we've got newcomers all over."
Mana: "Math tallied up all wrong in hundreds of places, not sure what they were thinkin'."
Wilhelmine: "I tried to warn him."
Wilhelmine shrugs. "Carry on, then."
Wilhelmine pauses as she turns back to rejoin Toth. "(Or did I actually warn him? Hm. I can't seem to recall.)"
Mana: "Yup. Opens up tons of room on the spinners, too."
Mana: "Who knows what we're gonna be able to do with the Scorpions!"
Toth: "How's that, now?"
Mana: "Well, I mean, if his team's starting from square one, then it's gonna be ages until he can push a proposal through for spinner time."
Mana: "It's like when a tree comes crashing down, and all the sprouts push up to seize the sunlight!"
Mana: One of the students, a shaggy young girl, quirks her eyebrows at the first one - "You're not gonna be able to get spinner control on the Scorpions, guy."
Mana: "Huh? Why not?"
Mana: "Well, 'cause they're coupled to a bigger system. If they're getting orders from the Moon Kingdom, then they're mostly being driven by that… we don't have the spinpower for it!"
Mana: "Well, but they're locked to the Titania system, aren't they? It'll be damped!"
Mana: …It just goes on.
Mana: And so - for now - it was written.

Mana: And so it was written: Pokiehlember 4th, Year 1, Undine's Day. The courtyard of SDU.
Toth: "I suppose we should leave them to their burning."
Wilhelmine hooks an arm around Toth's neck and pulls him towards the library. "Quite right. Nothing here but some personal schaudenfreuede."
Toth stumbles a bit as he's jerked but follows all the same- she's got a sturdy grip!
Mana: The stout wooden gates laed inwards.
Mana: Just inside: A dark, crowded library, with even the bookcases made of books. They're piled in the main thoroughfares, with a statue of some philosopher sitting atop them.
Mana: Round holes carved in the shelves grant views of other aisles.
Toth clicks his jaw and produces his staff.
Toth: "Is there any silly sorting system I should be aware of…?"
Toth: "Or can we go straight to Topography, comma Shade?"
Mana: It's lit by flickering candle-light, caged in glass lamps.
[OOC] Wilhelmine: Sounds like something she'd know!
[OOC] Mana: Yeah, you can lead the way!
Wilhelmine: "Well, yes and no. I'm sure you'll get there eventually."
Wilhelmine shrugs. "If I told you how to get there more quickly, I wouldn't have crap to beat up."
Toth: "Ah…" He pauses, unsure of what to say. "… yeah, alright."
Toth starts wandering down the aisle he's standing in, looking at the ends of shelves to start getting an idea of where he is.
Wilhelmine: "There's a key to avoiding burnout at this university. Don't get obsessed with a single subject."
Mana: You're standing in "Storybooks (Applied)" . One of the shelves starts shuddering.
Wilhelmine: "Other pieces of knowledge get envious, you see. Don't narrow your vision down here."
Toth: "Wouldn't that solve both our problems, then? I find what I'm looking for faster and you beat up some grand theorum."
Mana: - And four books flutter into the air from it, the edges of their pages serrated, flipping madly. They flap to and fro, mobbing Toth like a flock of crows.
Toth: "Augh!" He swings his staff to keep them at bay, and leaps back, ready to fight!
Mana: Wait, Mr. Toth, what row are you in?

[OOC] Mana: 93], [90]! The books are thwacked to pieces, and after two keening wails, the coast is clear.
Wilhelmine takes a bite of Candy for herself, then tosses Toth a pair along with a Fairy Walnut. "Those things seemed tailor-made to screw you over. Mm."
Toth: "Yeah…" He chomps into candies, eyes the Fairy Walnut, and eats that too.
Toth: "I think I'm ready to take this a bit slower, then."
[OOC] Mana: Got 8 AP. Got 300 EXP. Got 60 Lucre.
Wilhelmine: "They cut me off. Was gonna say that you gotta take it slow if you want any hopes of finishing."
Wilhelmine: "I'll watch out for you, though."
Toth nods and relaxes his shoulders as the Candies and Walnut take effect, clears his mind… a few meditating breaths in… and out.
Toth: "Okay." And he doesn't walk… he -meanders-.
Mana: Until eventually, in a shallow reading spot - where some student has left a sleeping bag, curled up against a dead-end shelf - you find the book.
Wilhelmine looks up at the section they're in. "Huh."
Toth fluffs the sleeping bag against the shelf, idly thumbs the book from its place, and settles in.
[OOC] Toth: what -is- the title of the book
[OOC] Wilhelmine: and what section did we end up in?
Mana: It's the Sixth Shade Survey (100-133).
Mana: And you're in the Obscure Geology section.
Toth starts flipping through the book.
Wilhelmine: "That's the thing with this place's organization. Shade-folk see everything as connected to everything else ever. Someone out there apparently associates 'monument of forests' with rocks. My guess of 'graveyard' was remarkably close."
Wilhelmine: "It's … accurate, but not precise. The definition between things gets all murky here."
Mana: It's mostly arcane diagrams, but someone has scribbled more helpful explanations in the margins - the forest of monuments it seems, is some ancient lost city, found past Hexagon Land.
Mana: It borders a deep, underground sea, tinged with the Luna.
Toth: "Close enough- it appears to be a lost city."
Wilhelmine: "Same difference."
Toth: "Past Hexagon Land… it was a costal city."
Wilhelmine: "A coastal forest? That's some strange geography."
Wilhelmine: "In any case. After you?"
Toth: "Doesn't seem to have a name, but we'll work that out." He places the book back down.
Toth: "Same mindset going out that we did going in?"
Wilhelmine: "Hm? Nah, as long as you keep in mind all what else you learned."
Toth: "Right…" He meanders some more, anyway.
Wilhelmine rotates her some. "Though I wouldn't mind a few more rounds with something."
[OOC] Wilhelmine: her … *shoulder
Toth: "Oh I'm sure we'll find something en route… with less spells…"
Wilhelmine: "Less Shady natures?"
Wilhelmine: "In Shade."
Toth: "Well, it sounds like we're going to go closer to Luna… so maybe?"
Toth: "Or maybe a goblin or three, they just have dynamite and axes."
Wilhelmine: "Not much better."
Wilhelmine: "Now you're talking."
Mana: On the way there - out into the courtyard, down the chain into the Dreaming City -
Mana: Down Whisper Causeway… past Hexagon Land…
Mana: And down into the Forest of Monuments, where huge fallen towers are thick in the subterranean mist. A canvas windmill sits on the skyline, still gently turning.
Mana: Somewhere in this old ruin, Joch apparently had his shop.
Toth rubs his beard. "At least, I hope it's still in one piece…"
Wilhelmine: "Hope what is?"
Toth: "His home."
Wilhelmine: "Whose home?"
Toth: "Joch's home."
Mana: Something stalks the street - a stone-faced stooping giant, wearing a rust-red crown, its fists huge gauntlets, followed by a black owl with a white face.
Wilhelmine gives Toth a nod in response. "Is this just curiosity, or - ooh."
Toth presses himself against a wall, attempting to hide in shadows.
Mana: Stealth 70?
Wilhelmine: "Ah, you're letting me have this one by myself?"
Toth rolled 1d100 and got 59 ( Total: 59 ) for 75
Toth: "I'm letting you distract them first…"
Toth: "So I can collapse something on them." And he ducks.
Wilhelmine chuckles, then bounces on her heels, ready to apprehend the pair if they should do the same.
Mana: All these buildings are on the edge of crumbling, after all.
Mana: The giant turns. "A human. I'll be your opponent."
Wilhelmine: "Glad to hear it."
