Penelo has vanished from Gaia.

[Simple, direct. Mjrn doesn't trust her voice at the moment, so text it is and remains.]

[Filtered from Garland/Lufene]

I have heard the moogles speak of a myrrh tree within Raithwall's Tomb, and two guardians. Given the pattern thus far, I am certain this means the time for their use is nigh. I wish to travel there, and defeat the guardians so that I may collect the myrrh with the chalice bestowed to me. It is time, and I must do my part.

You would not be imposing. Your aid would be welcome. Thank you. I would gladly meet with you upon my return.

I've made arrangements and should land soon. The beasts that guard the trees are strong; we should rest beforehand and properly prepare. How are you faring, Mjrn?

I am managing. I will not let recent events distract me. This mission is important. Penelo would see it fulfilled.

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

I could stand to learn from your strength. You are truly an inspiration to me.

Is there somewhere I can meet you?

[Just don't follow her example when it comes to recklessness and repeated deaths, Lilisette.]

The inn, at the Business District?

I will make my way there.

[Mjrn approaches the inn, her spirits and energy rather low. Chit trails along and cheeps up at her but the weary Viera barely responds. There's so much to do and her mind is already on it, desperately focusing on that to dull the pain of Penelo's departure.

Upon reaching the inn, she pushes the door open.]

Mjrn! It is good to see you again, even under such circumstances.

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn manages a ghost of a smile. She truly does appreciate the concern and company, even as she's still a bit too frazzled to articulate it.]

I am glad to see you once more, as well. I hope we did not keep you waiting overlong.

Not at all, I just arrived.



I never knew such a grand city existed here. It's unlike anything I've seen before. Have you called it home for a while?

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Chit cheeps in excitement and zooms over, to begin her feast. Mjrn smiles at that, but glances up and shakes her head at Lilisette's question.]

No, I have not...though I am considering it. I have wandered much, but a stable home does have its appeal.

[Action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

Have you been all over the world, then? I'd like to see it all. Are there many places from your home here?

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn claims a seat, needing to be off her feet for a bit.]

The Hunter's Camp and Raithwall's Tomb hail from my world.

...Eruyt Village does, as well, but I am not welcome there. Nor would I seek to impose.

[Action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

I look forward to seeing this tomb, then. Just outside of my home nation we had a large tomb where a beloved king of old was buried. A wyrm took residence within, guarding his treasure from would-be thieves.

If there are beasts also guarding this tomb, I wonder if we'll find something of the same nature.

Have you heard from many of your world regarding the matter?

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Chit loves the attention, and Mjrn's happy to give her bird friend some extra company. Then, too, she's glad for a slight break from being the focus of Chit's attention.]

I have, yes. Raithwall's tomb will only open for one of his bloodline. Thus, his heir, the Princess Ashelia, shall be joining us. From what Penelo told me before, as well, their are a number of undead as well as a demon wall. Or was it two...?

[Action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

A demon wall?

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn frowns in thought, trying to remember what Penelo had told her.]

It is a creature that must be slain swiftly, ere it reach you. It is a juggernaut, and levels all within its path.

[Action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

That sounds... Well, at least we know to kill it quickly.

It promises to be quite the trip.



When do we leave?

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Chit is in heaven, and gobbles them up as quickly as she possibly can.]

I seek rest, but otherwise I believe it best to depart as soon as possible. Tomorrow, then?

[Action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

I heard they were short on rooms, so I went ahead and purchased two when I arrived. And I'll be just down the hall from you this way.

And I'll meet you here in the morning!

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn blinks in surprise, not expecting such generosity.]

I...thank you.

[She stands and nods as Chit returns to her side.]

[Action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

My pleasure.
