[22:51] Happy: Simone sees him leave to speak to Ai. After waiting until he's gone, she deftly picks the lock and slips quietly into the room to look around for anything valuable.
[22:52] Shadowcaller: There is a red circle drawn in the middle in the room, its hard to see what was used to color it but it was drawn not very long ago
[22:53] Shadowcaller: There is a darknees inside the circle
[22:54] Happy: Simone is drawn to the circle and goes closer. To test it, she reaches one hand inside it.
[22:55] Shadowcaller: There is a surge, the darknees reacts directly to her movement, she can feel a strong presence in her mind, she falls back
[23:00] Happy: "Who is there?" O.O
[23:00] Shadowcaller: Suddenly she can hear a womans voice, it reminds her of her mothers voice "Hello?"
[23:00] Happy: "Mama?"
[23:00] Happy: (actually she'd be speaking in her own language, so she'd be fluent instead of broken)
[23:00] Shadowcaller: "Oh, I'm not your mama, dear."
[23:01] Happy: "Who are you?"
[23:01] Shadowcaller: A very beatiful woman (that looks quite like her mama) appears inside the circle
[23:01] Shadowcaller: "I am Helia", she bows
[23:04] Happy: Simone looks abashed and edges towards the door, thinking she's going to be arrested for breaking in. "I came to the wrong room by mistake."
[23:05] Shadowcaller: "Oh, there is nothing wrong dear, I just wanted to speak with you, I'm so very lonely.."
[23:05] Happy: "You are? But there are lots of people here."
[23:06] Shadowcaller: "Well, I'm not here exactly, I'm someplace else where there are no people."
[23:06] Shadowcaller: "And then I saw you walk pass this circle… so I wanted to speak with you."
[23:07] Happy: "Are you a wizard?" *wide eyed*
[23:08] Shadowcaller: "Oh, you could say that, I tell you what, ask me anything and I answer that question for you."
[23:11] Shadowcaller: (Hm, two conversations at once…)
[23:11] Happy: "Could I become a wizard?" (ooc, i'd say no)
[23:11] Happy: (i'm having four…)
[23:11] Shadowcaller: (o.O)
[23:12] Shadowcaller: (You must be quite epic, or very tried by now)
[23:12] Happy: (a little manic, actually)
[23:12] Shadowcaller: (should I slow down?)
[23:12] Happy: no, it's cool
[23:13] Happy: a *little* manic feels nice after all the depressinon :P
[23:13] Shadowcaller: (hehe, well, I don't know after all <.<)
[23:14] Shadowcaller: (who are you talking to otherwise?)
[23:15] Happy: one group chat and wolfbane
[23:15] Shadowcaller: "I belive you are meant for something else dear, remember, wizards are not the only persons in the world that can use magic."
[23:15] Shadowcaller: "If you look hard enough, magic cna be found everywhere."
[23:15] Shadowcaller: *can
[23:16] Happy: Simone looks disappointed. "Because I am poor?"
[23:18] Shadowcaller: "You don't have the gift dear, but I can help you with that, I can give you magic of your own."
[23:19] Happy: "Why would you?" *suspicious*
[23:20] Shadowcaller: "Well, you seems to know the basics right? I give you something, you give me something."
[23:20] Shadowcaller: "Thats how the world works after all." She smiles
[23:22] Happy: Simone is much less suspicious after hearing this. "What's the price?"
[23:23] Shadowcaller: "The price… is a very small thing see? You remember that girl you saw at Yani's house? The wizard girl."
[23:24] Happy: "Yes, the pretty one."
[23:25] Shadowcaller: "She is in the possession of a very small black orb. Round and obsidian black."
[23:25] Happy: Simone listens.
[23:26] Shadowcaller: "I want you to get that orb for me, simple as that."
[23:26] Happy: "Right now?"
[23:27] Shadowcaller: "Whenever you like my dear, I'm more intrested in what you want in return."
[23:31] Happy: "I want to become a scholar," she says, naming her most extravagent wish.
[23:32] Shadowcaller: "That could be easily fixed, I would make you the best scholar in the world."
[23:33] Happy: "You could afford to send me to school? And buy me books? Is the orb that valuable?"
[23:35] Shadowcaller: "Of course not, but the deal is so much better then that, I could grant you knowledge directly, no books or schools would be needed, I would learn you a world in a mere moment."
[23:38] Happy: "Prove it."
[23:39] Shadowcaller: Helia grins "You are a smart one aren't you? Well how exactly should I prove that then? Name it."
[23:41] Happy: "Give me part of the world in a moment, as a down payment," Simone says, grinning.
[23:42] Shadowcaller: "…a part of the world? Very well, step into the circle then Simone, and then I will teach you a part of the world."
[23:42] Happy: Simone steps directly into the circle.
[23:44] Shadowcaller: Shadows sorround her, it feels like she is linked with many, many minds, each one with the same knowledge, endless knowledge
[23:45] Shadowcaller: Images of a shadow like creature dances before her eyes, then it turns into a woman, then into a man
[23:46] Happy: Simone is fascinated.
[23:46] Shadowcaller: SHe see images of strange beings fighting something that can not be understand by mortal eyes
[23:46] Shadowcaller: She see three suns
[23:46] Shadowcaller: She see two of them being eaten by this something
[23:47] Shadowcaller: She see something dancing… everything splits, there are so many images
[23:47] Shadowcaller: SHe see the creatures coming from the core of the earth, they are wierd human-like things
[23:48] Shadowcaller: They are killing the beings fighting the thing
[23:48] Shadowcaller: The scene changes, there is now one sun
[23:49] Shadowcaller: The human-like creatures becomes human, their skin changes from grey, thier monkey-like faces turn human
[23:50] Shadowcaller: SHe see nations being created, and then fall
[23:52] Shadowcaller: Whatever she is goes back into the the core where the human things came from
[23:52] Shadowcaller: She goes deeper and deeper
[23:53] Shadowcaller: She see something deep down in the dark that makes her want to scream, she can hear a whisper "the mother weeps…"
[23:53] Shadowcaller: Then she is back, laying outside the circle
[23:53] Happy: She breathes heavily, holding in her terror.
[23:54] Shadowcaller: "Was that what you wanted?"
[23:54] Shadowcaller: Helia seems unmoved
[23:55] Happy: Simone sits up and nods.
[23:56] Shadowcaller: "That was the truth beggining of the world, you are now the second one who knows it."
[23:56] Happy: Simone is O.O
[23:56] Happy: But she wants more
[23:56] Shadowcaller: "You should be proud of yourself dear, no one have ever seen that, but me."
[23:56] Happy: Hungers for it.
[23:57] Happy: "After I get the orb, how do I find you again?"
[23:58] Shadowcaller: "Take one of the jars at the table, the one with the red powder in it, when you like to contact me again, draw a circle and I will come."
[00:00] Shadowcaller: (simone is beggining to go beyond NPC status o.O)
[00:01] Happy: (She already is. I've added to her character sheet)
[00:04] Happy: Simone takes the powder. She listens at the door a moment to make sure no one is outside before creeping out.
[00:04] Happy: Then she goes to look for Arik.
[00:05] Shadowcaller: Helia returns to the shadows /Have we finally found a replacement?…/
[00:09] Happy: (And then she goes to try to convince Arik to hire her for the trip. Do you want to rp that, or not?)
[00:09] Shadowcaller: (If you want.)
[00:10] Happy: So she finds him, perhaps after he spoke to the Kuomori again?
[00:11] Shadowcaller: (Okay, before or after he spoke to Ai?)
[00:12] Happy: (He spoke to Ai before the Kuomori)
[00:13] Shadowcaller: (right…)
[00:17] Happy: (So where does she find Arik?)
[00:17] Shadowcaller: (Down at the central area of the inn, he looks quite bothered
[00:18] Happy: Simone approaches him and curtseys.
[00:19] Shadowcaller: He looks up "WHat do you want…?" He looks almost depressed
[00:20] Happy: "I know you are to leave soon. I know many tongues. I would be useful to you if you hire me to come too."
[00:22] Shadowcaller: "Yes… to guide our journey, tell me little girl, have you ever had someone who protected you?"
[00:23] Happy: "No Sir. Not since mama died."
[00:23] Shadowcaller: "How was she then? Your mother? How did she protect you?"
[00:25] Happy: She looks stricken. "She only do it because she have to. She not want to be a whore."
[00:27] Shadowcaller: "She was willing.. to sell her body for you? To make you have a good life?" He appears to look beyond her, day-dreaming
[00:28] Happy: "Not a good life. Just a life. Just to keep me from being hungry," Simone says in a broken whisper.
[00:30] Shadowcaller: "But you had no other family then? No one to protect?"
[00:31] Happy: "No Sir. Just Mama, until she die. I protect myself now."
[00:31] Shadowcaller: "Hm.." He seems to return to the real world a bit "We could use a translator."
[00:33] Happy: She brightens. "I am very good. I know…" and she rattles off the names of several languages spoken in the region. "I learn from hearing traders speak."
[00:34] Shadowcaller: "Yes… yes we could use you then." he picks up a coin from his pocket
[00:36] Happy: She curtseys. "Thank you, Sir. I will do good job for you. I go to get my things!"
[00:36] Shadowcaller: "Do that girl…"
[00:37] Happy: Simone takes the coin and races off. </end prequel>
