[ 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.

[Taako looks at least a little concerned, but also a little judgy, because clearly Rin is a delicate soul who shouldn't be out traipsing through the forest alone.]

What the fuck, my dude? Is everything-- are you okay?

Well now. That's interesting.

I'd be more than happy to help you out. I'm certain you could make use of my skills.

[A drow? Grace can't help but give a slightly startled blink at that sort of unexpected discovery. Still, she manages to compose herself as she settles in front of her device.]

A have healing skills, if you are in need of that sort of assistance.

[ What is this, some kind of D&D adventure in the making? Pah.

All the same... ]


Well, I guess telling you to leave it alone probably isn't gonna work, huh? I guess I could come along if you need a little extra muscle.

Telling people to stay away will just make them want to look.

[ That being said though... ]

If you need or want a healer to come with you I can offer my services.

[Normally, he would assume that a sense of nature being more alive than usual would involve the koumyaku in some way, but that's not a possibility here...There are mushi, though, so he's still somewhat Concerned about all this.]

What do you intend to do?

Don't worry, I won't. I'm more of a government conspiracy guy than a weird jungle temple cult kind of guy.

[ Which is to say he'd take National Treasure over Indiana Jones any day. No offense to the late Mr. Ford. ]

So... did you still want help?

You should've called me.

[Don't tell anyone he's worried, okay.]

It sounds like some weird cult bullshit, maybe necromancy? I can come check it out.

Looking into some research might turn up results, a trip to the library maybe.

[Or the internet, but Ed's got a bias there. Either way, there might record of what it means somewhere here.]

So you got nothing?

[That's so sad.]

So no payment for helping?

[personal profile] eternalmagic 2017-09-13 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose if you have room for one more.

[Otherwise, yeah, just watch him.]

I wouldn't want to be in the way.

More ruins with weird energy? I'm getting the impression of a theme around here.

I haven't seen that symbol anywhere else, yet. Is that the only place you saw it?

[personal profile] seductless 2017-09-13 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. [She smiles faintly.] What do you need of me?
