[ It's your friendly neighborhood drow, hanging out somewhere in the jungle. He's idly tossing a dagger into the air, then catching it, then tossing, and so on. ]
Good evening, my friends.
[ He hasn't met nearly so many of Riverview's population as he'd like, but he's comfortable speaking warmly, casually, as though they've all known each other for years. He leans against a tall, mossy tree, eyes on the dagger as it glints in the low sun's light. ]
I happened to be doing a little light exploring, a little minor surveying ... and I came across something interesting. Ruins of some sort, absolutely emanating with mysterious power. I couldn't quite map the shape of the place, unfortunately--as soon as I began drawing near, the jungle came even more alive than usual. Even the lovely birds were angry with me.
[ He catches the dagger for the final time, then slides it into some unknown recess of his jacket. ]
Now, I am of humble merchant stock, but I can defend myself, if I must. I progressed as far as I dared, but something began to feel wrong. I heard voices--strange, incomprehensible chanting. I felt dizzy, woozy. I took the wise path and retreated.
[ He shakes his head. ]
But, before I escaped, I saw a few artifacts scattered through the underbrush, marking a haphazard trail into the ruins. I dared not take one, but they were all inscribed with a certain symbol.
[ He steps aside from the tree he's been leaning against. This symbol is carved into the bark. ]
Not sure what it means, but I have an uneasy feeling just looking at it.
[ He seems thoughtful for a second, then shakes his head. Brightens up. ]
Anyway! I would very much like to get to the bottom of this, but, as mentioned, I'm merely a merchant. My meager skill is not enough to overcome those ruins alone. Any help would therefore be appreciated.
And--one more thing. If you see this symbol anywhere in town, I'd turn around and walk away.

no subject
Not my business.
[ He only offered the warning out of basic courtesy. As to the rest of it -- ]
And all expeditions need medics.
no subject
[ Even Shigeru shudders on his end looking at it. ]
It...reminds me of something back home, so I'd like to investigate it as well.
no subject
I don't know that it's the symbol itself, so much as whatever they were muttering.
[ He couldn't decipher it--the language was foreign to him. ]
You must have a very interesting home, though.
no subject
It's not any more interesting than any other world, really. But maybe we could find something on it in one of the books in the library?
[ Perhaps there was something hidden or stowed away that could give them some hints. ]
no subject
[ Albeit not in front, of course. That would be madness. ]
If you'd like to do the extracurricular work, feel free.
no subject
It would be easier with more help...but I will look into it. Maybe we could find out something about these people or this culture beforehand.
no subject
[ He shrugs; smiling. ]
But I appreciate help. Most humbly and sincerely so.
no subject
Of course! We all have to work together here after all.
I don't think I ever got your name either.
[ Shigeru's is obvious, given it's his username. ]
no subject
[ He bows his head slightly, the picture of deference. ]
Just call me Rin, darling.
no subject
But it's nice to meet you Rin!
no subject
[ He looks up, makes a welcoming gesture with his hand. ]
Enchanted, I'm sure.
