Skuld

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden ponders you with a contemplative expression.

You have emoted: Jiraishin cocks his head to one side questioningly.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden prods you in the chest.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says, "I can't imagine it'll be too long
before he gets tired of not working mischief amongst them."

You say, "What?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Why so sad, petal?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Lost your puppy down a well?"

You have emoted: Jiraishin blinks, unsure what to say.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Now I want a well of puppies."

You say, "I don't think I've ever had one."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Perhaps that's the word for a large
group of."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Flock of birds, government of owls,
well of puppies."

You say, "I think that would be a pack."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I like well better."

You say to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "Why do you think I am sad?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "The quiet ones usually are."

You see Skuld, the Eternal Maiden yell, "Anyone have a well of puppies?"

You say, "Hard to argue with that logic."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden ponders you with a contemplative expression.

The Dragon Dunn thunders in from the east.

Dunn gives Skuld, the Eternal Maiden a peck on the cheek.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden's ears perk up as her attention turns towards Dunn.

Verily grins mischievously at Dunn.

Lianca grins mischievously at Dunn.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden gives Dunn a peck on the cheek.

You incline your head politely to Dunn.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to Lianca, "It seems to have worked!"

Dunn raises his hand in greeting and says "Hello!"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Dunn is buying me a well of puppies."

Dunn blinks.

Dunn blinks confoundedly before quietly uttering, "What."

You have emoted: One corner of Jiraishin's mouth quirks upward slightly.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says, "He's paying for the whole well? How
kind of him."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head emphatically.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "I am afraid us military men have very
little in the way of riches..."

Dunn shuffles his feet uneasily.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden exclaims, "Be you.. king.. or peasant... your
existance.. is... nothing to me!"

Lianca beams broadly at Skuld, the Eternal Maiden.

Dunn smiles and says in a deep, hollow voice, "And I am neither."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "It hurt thinking that."

Dunn snickers softly to himself.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden's ears perk up with a sudden interest.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Tagg Tagg Tagg?"

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Traitor traitor traitor."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden blinks.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "He has been attached to Sabiru since birth.
It was inevitable."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden actually steps back to that news, frowning.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "But.. Tagg.."

Dunn says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden in a deep, hollow voice, "We shall find
you a replacement."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "He is bound to the Mother and the Moon
already."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden points accusingly at you.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "I am sure he still loves you."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I want him."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "I do not know him."

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to you, "You'll have no say in the
matter, I'm afraid."

You say to Dunn, "It has been a while."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Indeed."

You say to Verily, "I have no idea what to say to that anyway."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Who is he? He seems sad. I might give him to
Verthandi to look after."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "I've been
trying to teach him how to have fun, and smile."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head emphatically.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to Lianca, "By getting him stuffed full
of arrows, it would seem!"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden's ears perk up with a sudden interest.

You wince in pain.

The Dragon melts away from Dunn, leaving him a Human once again.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "He plays the arrow in the knee?"

Dunn puts on a suit of leather armour.

You say to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "We had a toboggan race in Caer Witrin
earlier."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Did you win?"

Verily stretches her wings forward, bringing them within reach of her hands,
and begins to smooth and arrange her wingfeathers.

You say to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "I got arrows in the knees, elbows,
chest, and everywhere they could hit."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Through a hail of arrows."

You say to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "I survived. I believe that counts as
winning."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "The snow was a pretty pink when he was
done."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden beams broadly at you.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden wipes her nose on the back of her hand, before wiping
that on Dunn's arm.

You say, "I think there might be some blood left on Tasur'ke's rooftops, too."

You say, "That is where I warped to."

Dunn peers at Skuld, the Eternal Maiden unscrupulously.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to you, "Not the first time those
rooftops have been so stained, and surely not the last."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden exclaims, "Ooh, a sneaky serpent!"

Dunn performs a quick search of the surroundings.
You are discovered!

Dunn peers about himself unscrupulously.

Comprehension flashes across Dunn's face.

You say, "I hate when people do that."

"Good!" Dunn enthuses.

You say, "Excuse me a moment."

Dunn smiles and says in a deep, hollow voice, "I love to be hated."

Seadog Tavern.
You see exits leading east (open door), south (open door), and west.

You conceal yourself using all the guile you possess.

You slip away to the west and successfully evade your pursuers.
Fire and Spice.
You see exits leading north and east.

You have emoted: Jiraishin nods.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer asks, "Is hate an improvement from being
sad?"

You have emoted: Jiraishin looks at Skuld.

You say, "Your call."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Verily, "The closest thing to love, a
powerful emotion."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Yes, it is. To both."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden pats you in a friendly manner.

Colivar gasps slightly and a warm blush colours his cheeks as the hot liquid
chases away the chill.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Don't worry! One day we will find you a well
of puppies, several naked ladies, a goat, and a frog."

You have emoted: Jiraishin looks at his drink.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "He'd
better bloody well smile on that day."

You say, "I do smile."

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to you, "It hardly counts."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to you, "You twitch, they don't count."

You say, "Why not?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I could practice my sewing, and sew you a
smile.."

You say, "Twitch?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "On your face.."

The corners of Lianca's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

You say, "That sounds somewhat painful."

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer smiles impishly and says, "But effective, and
that is what matters, no?"

You say, "It would make it hard to talk."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to you, "Might be easier to simply relax
and learn to smile."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "A little less painful."

You say, "I do smile!"

Dunn looks undecided and says in a deep, hollow voice, "I even smile and I have
to deal with Silas."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to you, "Prove it."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Your reasons pale in comparison, I'm
afraid."

You have tmoted: Jiraishin stares helplessly at Lianca.

You say, "Well, that wouldn't be a genuine smile, would it?"

You say, "Besides, you've seen me smile."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden bends and picks up a stray coin from the floor.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to you, "We want teeth and all, broad,
beaming smile."

You say, "But then I need a reason to smile, which is not the same as lacking a
reason not to smile."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Well. Of. Puppies."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Skuld is here, we are in the best of
company, and somewhere, there are puppies in wells."

You have emoted: Jiraishin looks at the ceiling.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "That's... not good."

Dunn peers about himself unscrupulously.

You have emoted: Jiraishin grins a bit.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden claps her hands together merrily.

Lianca beams broadly at you.

You have emoted: Jiraishin rubs his forehead.

Colivar says in a smooth, stately voice, "It will hurt less if you practice
more."

You say, "This is such an incredibly strange conversation."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "It can get worse."

The Dragon Lothiac thunders in from the east.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to you, "A few more years and you'll
find it hard to stop."

Lothiac bows respectfully to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden.

Lothiac gives [lots of different corpses] to Verily.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to Lothiac, "Oh, feel free to make use
of them yourself!"

Lothiac gives some corpses of a steel-encased Death Knight to Verily.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer smiles impishly and says to Skuld, the
Eternal Maiden, "Unless you've a riddle for him?"

Lothiac gives some corpses of a pale-skinned, humanoid vampire to Verily.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster whispers to Verily, "Biological jigsaw."

Verily peers at Lianca unscrupulously.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster whispers to Verily, "This one's a provider."

Lothiac says in a clear voice, "Me?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Nothing says I love you like several dead
bodies, coated in blood, mutated through a battle of strength, and slung over
ones shoulder."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Lothiac, "Hello!"

Lothiac raises his hand in greeting to Lianca and says "Hi!"

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says to Lianca, "But look at him, he's all
green and covered in scales."

You say to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "I think I've heard that before."

Lothiac says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden in a clear voice, "Would you expect
anything different from Aegis' Prophet?"

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Verily, "A project then, work still to
do."

Lothiac gives the world a smart salute.

Lothiac moves his huge bulk to the east with surprising grace.

Lianca snickers softly to herself.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I like War.. He can make the most frigid of
girls fan their face."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Competent men do that."

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer innocently asks Skuld, the Eternal Maiden,
"So then what is it he does to you?"

You take a long draught of kawhe, hoping to quench your thirst.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden exclaims, "He makes me hot in places a maiden
shouldn't be!"

Verily ruffles her wingfeathers quickly and then smooths them again.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "But I am not allowed near Him."

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says awkwardly, "On that note, I'll be back
shortly."

Verily leaves to the east.

You have emoted: One corner of Jiraishin's mouth quirks upward slightly.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "She is so easy to ruffle."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Apparently the thought got to her too."

The corners of Lianca's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Lianca nods her head at Skuld, the Eternal Maiden.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "And a lot
of fun to ruffle, just because of it."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "I am ruffled."

He is a human of commanding stature, his stalwart physique belying his mature
years. Though muscular, his body is not stiff and his limbs move with the
practiced agility of a seasoned combatant. His sable coloured hair falls
negligently to his shoulders, a few wayward strands resting just to the side of
his golden-brown eyes. Dark facial hair dots his tanned skin and forms the
trimmed mustache and goatee that frame his apathetic mouth and prominent
jawline. A linear scar, healed though still symbolically prominent, draws
across the width of his left palm. Upon his right forearm is carved the Mark of
the Twin, 'II'. He is wearing 5 earrings of Sinope through his right ear, 2
earrings of Sinope through his left ear, a suit of leather armour, austere
robes of black wool, dashing black gloves, a canvas backpack, a bag of stasis,
a buckawn's amulet, a living third eye upon his brow, a Year 600 medallion, a
sangria-hued scabbard, and an alligator skin quiver. He walks with the
truefavour of Ourania.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "One of my favourite is to just say one word to
her."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Moist."

You say to Dunn, "You don't look it."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head slowly, looking very wise.

Lianca smirks.

Verily arrives from the east.
An Ashtani corsair says, "This is the greatest city on Sapience, Verily! Take a
look around."

Dunn says to you in a deep, hollow voice, "I have a vivid imaginations. You
don't look particularly happy."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden sniffs Dunn, trying to decipher just what that smell
is.

You say to Dunn, "I keep hearing that."

The body of Klochild, Bloody Heathen appears in a flash and his soul descends
to fill it, causing the previously expressionless face to fill with emotion.

Verily inclines her head politely at Klochild.

Dunn says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden in a deep, hollow voice, "That is the
smell of testosterone and bloodlust."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Mhm. Smells like lazy behind and picking of
noses."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "My combat record for the past year begs to
differ."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden exclaims, "You beg? I like this idea!"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden skips merrily in circles around Dunn.

Dunn shakes his head sadly at Skuld, the Eternal Maiden.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Dunn, "You'll be on your knees before
you know it."

Klochild touches a mindseye tattoo.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer whispers to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "How
else do you think he gets things from Reine??"

Klochild bows respectfully to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Mister Overseer knows I only linger because I
am waiting for him to off himself. I put dibs on his wife."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden raises her hand in greeting to Klochild and says
"Hello!"

Dunn peers about himself unscrupulously.

Klochild inclines his head politely at Verily.

You have emoted: Jiraishin bites back a grin.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "One day, there will be an election and
he'll drown in the masses of paperwork that ensues."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "She'll be
all yours."

Klochild says to Dunn in a low, measured voice, "You are screwed, Overseer."

Klochild grins mischievously at Dunn.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer smiles impishly and says to Dunn, "The Maiden
does seem to always get what she wants."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "There are no elections. I own all of the
polling places."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "I am not worried."

Dunn scoffs arrogantly.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Yet you own no wells.."

Klochild grins mischievously at Dunn.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "The well of Chaos, my dear."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Tis on my property."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "We should start putting puppies in it."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Has only chaos hounds, not puppies."

You say, "That is a terrible, terrible mental image."

The corners of Klochild's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "I could go purchase some puppies and pus
them in there."

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Put, rather."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Oh, though, perhaps that is how Chaos hounds
are made?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Throw in a puppy, get a hound or two in
return."

Klochild says in a low, measured voice, "To would could be!"

Klochild looks up into the air for divine inspiration.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "We should throw random things in."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head slowly, looking very wise.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "We need to capture Madelyne, and throw
the entire menagerie in the well."

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer asks Klochild, "Would you fancy a trip down a
well?"

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Chaos flamingos."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden shudders violently.

Klochild peers at Verily unscrupulously.

Klochild says in a low, measured voice, "No."

Klochild says in a low, measured voice, "Klo does not do wells."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Even better, it is more fun when they
fight it."

Klochild says in a low, measured voice, "Damnable time not to have wings."

You say, "Wouldn't help."

Klochild peers at you unscrupulously.

You take a long draught of kawhe, hoping to quench your thirst.

Antidas has been slain by the might of a court constable.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden picks her nose and flicks the contents of it at you.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "A brat. That is what you are."

Klochild peers about himself unscrupulously.

You remove 1 cloth, bringing the total in the Rift to 15.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden gives a pained sigh.

Klochild inclines his head politely.

Klochild grows still and his lips begin to move silently.

Verily Ravensong, Moonsilver Seer says, "Forgive me, I must dart out a moment."

[Verily universes out]

Using the pattern for reference, you carefully cut, assemble, and stitch
together a black silk handkerchief banded with silver.

Klochild is enveloped in translucent fire for a moment and is gone, his soul
safe until he returns to Achaea.

The shimmering map folds up and vanishes into the ether.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Boredorians in the Crown again."

You give a black silk handkerchief banded with silver to Skuld, the Eternal
Maiden.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Antidas is Targossian."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Oh."

You have emoted: Jiraishin nods.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "He's insufferable either way."

Dunn nods his head in agreement.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "I'm not sure he even converted, isn't
it just arrows fired at people who don't agree with his crowd?"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Robbing shops. I possibly made it worse. I
mocked."

Lianca smirks.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden shuffles her feet uneasily.

You say, "He would have done it anyway."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "He ran, it seems."

//1 minute

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Lurking down near the Cave now."

You close your eyes momentarily and extend the range of your vision, seeking
out the presence of Antidas.
Though too far away to accurately perceive details, you see that Antidas is in
the Eastern Reaches.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I haven't visited Targ yet."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "We could
escort you."

Colivar says in a smooth, stately voice, "They must have been delayed in
sending out invitations. I've not received mine."

The corners of Lianca's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head at Colivar.

With a wistful look on his face, Ayoxele reaches out and touches Dunn.

He is a winged atavian. Standing at an average height, he has shoulder length,
brown hair bound back to keep it out of his face, fastened with a plain strip
of leather. His eyes are a slightly paler shade than his hair. Slim, almost to
the point of emaciation, he looks fairly fragile, the size of his wings giving
him an even gaunter look, the grey shaded feathers casting shadows that
highlight the jutting bones at wrists and collarbone. His long, agile looking
fingers are covered in black ash, burn scars marring the flesh of his hands. He
is wearing a silvery-grey silk handkerchief, a quiver, a canvas backpack, a
darkbow, smart trousers of black woollen cloth, an ethereal platinum and
sapphire ring of clouds, a suit of scale mail, deeply cowled, black ritualist
robes, 2 bone rings with a firelash rune, a metallic, two-tone amulet, black
wyvernskin boots, a bone ring with a red emblem of fire, an obsidian icewall
ring, an obsidian firelash ring, and a fire-engraved ring.

You have emoted: Jiraishin raises an eyebrow.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Strange creature."

Dunn nods his head in agreement.

A nearly invisible magical shield forms around Dunn.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden raises her hand to her mouth and titters girlishly.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden inches bashfully over to Dunn and nuzzles him
tenderly.

The body of Klochild, Bloody Heathen appears in a flash and his soul descends
to fill it, causing the previously expressionless face to fill with emotion.

Dunn pets Skuld, the Eternal Maiden very nicely.

Klochild touches a mindseye tattoo.

You say, "He had one of Jurixe's handkerchiefs."

You say, "One day I will figure out the logic of who she gives them to."

You say, "When I have absolutely nothing else to do."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "She just gives them out?"

You say, "I have no idea. I never received one."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Perhaps they are a sign, of sorts,
marking out those worth a conversation, or second look."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden ponders you with a contemplative expression.

You say to Lianca, "Thank you for that."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "You have a pretty pendant."

You have emoted: Jiraishin fingers the fire opal.

You say to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "Thank you."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Can I have it?"

You say, "You can, but it would return to me in time."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head emphatically.

You say, "I could make you an opal bracelet to keep, if you like."

Opening her mouth wide, Skuld, the Eternal Maiden gapes in wonder.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Really?"

You have emoted: Jiraishin nods.

Lianca's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

You remove 3 silver bar, bringing the total in the Rift to 13.

You remove 1 gems, bringing the total in the Rift to 6.

You get 12990 gold sovereigns from a wyvernskin pack.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden squeals in excitement.

Using the schematic for reference you carefully and meticulously craft a
glimmering opal bracelet.

The corners of Klochild's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

Meant to be worn carelessly loose around the wrist, this pure and polished,
silver bracelet carries a light grace. The delicate, metal links that comprise
it are bent and flattened into fragile S-shapes, forming a twisting, intricate
chain of almost helical sections that are forever shifting and throwing light
off their surfaces. A small, round clasp of the same bright silver closes the
circle in a natural manner, as if the chain flowed together into a flat, silver
bead. The other end of the bracelet holds a small stone of mesmerising beauty;
a silver-set opal, its subtle greys and blues catching fire in the light. A
minuscule bow-and-arrow has been etched on the back of the silver clasp.
It has 298 months of usefulness left.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Jiraishin.

You give a glimmering opal bracelet to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden.

Klochild grows still and his lips begin to move silently.

You smile and say, "Enjoy."

Klochild is enveloped in translucent fire for a moment and is gone, his soul
safe until he returns to Achaea.

Dunn says in a deep, hollow voice, "Off I go."

Dunn gives Skuld, the Eternal Maiden a peck on the cheek.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden stares at the bracelet.

Dunn takes Lianca by the hand and shakes it warmly.

Lianca waves goodbye at Dunn.

You incline your head politely to Dunn.

Dunn begins making an entry in a personal journal, disappearing from sight.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden pecks the air, as if kissing the cheek of an
imaginary person.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden crosses her arms on her chest, sticks out her lower
lip, and pouts.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden slips the bracelet on and gives a happy smile.

You have emoted: Jiraishin's own mouth turns up a bit in response.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden gives you a peck on the cheek.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Thank you! I like presents."

You say, "You are welcome. I like giving them, at times."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden exclaims, "I am going to go show Skuld!"

You have emoted: Jiraishin cocks his head to one side questioningly.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "That's
you!"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden exclaims, "Oh. Then that isn't helpful!"

You have emoted: Jiraishin grins a bit.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I would blame Dunn, but he left."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden ponders the situation.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "Blame him anyway."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "We can blame him anyway, leaving and
getting us all turned around."

Lianca nods her head emphatically.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head emphatically.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "The Boredorians are annoying the Crown. It
makes me twitchy as well."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Could go sneak a few shots in at them."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "Or drop them in a well until they do
their best puppy impression."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I am not allowed to play. Apparently I hit too
hard and then they complain and then it gets all messy and I get told to go
stand in the corner."

You have emoted: Jiraishin grins widely, eyes dancing with wicked humour.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says, "They's such wimps."

You say, "Oh, that image is worth smiling for."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden stares implacably at you.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to you, "Did you just smile?"

Lianca blinks incredulously at you.

You have emoted: Jiraishin rolls his eyes.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I think he did.."

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "He
definitely did."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head at Lianca.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden shuffles her feet uneasily.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden inches bashfully over to you and nuzzles you
tenderly.

You blink.

Lianca's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden says, "I am going to go show this shiny to Urdu. Urdu
Urdu Urdu."

You have emoted: One corner of Jiraishin's mouth quirks upward slightly.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster smiles and says, "Send our love with it."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head emphatically.

You say to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden, "A pleasure to meet you."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden exclaims, "Thank you for letting me linger. I like
speaking to people. And thank you for the present!"

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden beams broadly.

You say, "Enjoy it."

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden nods her head emphatically.

Skuld, the Eternal Maiden waves goodbye.

Lianca Vallah, Occult Taskmaster smiles and says to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden,
"You are always welcome."

Lianca waves goodbye.

You bow politely to Skuld, the Eternal Maiden.

Skuld strides gracefully out to the east, silvery bells chiming musically.
