(anytime you're read)
14:59:59
After the salutations, Aëlynn takes a few steps in the room and looks at Aëlya.
15:01:53
"Again? I guess that I should go first this time, so you can take care of our guest."
15:02:33
She looks at you
15:03:03
Nagusa stands up to bow and greet the guest, but keeps silent, feeling this aura of hostility around her
15:03:24
"Sure, she looks a bit lost, join us when you're done. But please Nagusa don't worry, I'll explain everything.""
15:04:26
Nagusa sits down again, slightly apprehensively
15:05:02
"Well, see you in a bit, dear."
15:05:42
She nods at you and go to one of the closed door. As she enters the room and close behind her you hear more clearly the strange moans.
15:06:58
She sits back down at her place, puffing as she looks at you.
15:08:05
"I guess that you havce a lot of questions in your mind, insn't it?"
15:08:27
that... I do indeed...
15:08:44
Does this have something to do with why you asked if I knew anything about cursed swords?
15:08:58
"Well, exactly. You must know that there are many different kinds of cursed swords. Some are the vessel for a soul, either from a demon or any kind of more or less malevolent creature, and they have a consciousness. Some are just weapons that put some curse on the wearer. But other are... intricate in their functioning."
15:14:12
she tries to suppress a smile at a specific memory ah yes... that certainly is true...
15:15:23
very... intricate....
15:15:31
She looks at you, a little smirk on the lips.
15:16:34
"Now, for reasons that belong to me, I looked for different kind of these swords, to finally bring one of it from a strange world I visited. The problem though was that this kind of sword is somehow human. Or at least was."
15:18:25
oh? Very interesting...
15:19:16
she muses, a hand unconsciously rubbing at her chin
15:19:45
"See when a girl takes one of those swords, she's compeled to murder people, and particularely men, in order to feed the sword with energy. But in the end the girl and the sword end up fusionning. The girl becomes herself a cursed sword, than can enter in contact with another living being to curse."
15:21:37
I have come across another person with a similar cursed sword that compels violence against her will...
15:22:53
But it is not often that the sword takes on a human appearance of their own
15:23:05
Tell me, what is this girl like? Is she civil?
15:23:25
She takes a sip of tea, thinking a bit.
15:24:03
"Well, I'm not sure. I met her when she already merged with the sword. She tried to kill me, and I manage in extremis to knock her out with Aëlynn's help. All I can guess is that by the way she was fighting, she was a good swordsman before, maybe a soldier, an adventurer of some sort. I don't really know as since then I couldn't have a discussion with her."
15:27:49
Hmm, if she attacks on sight, that will present some difficulties indeed...
15:28:49
I am afraid I may not be able to help you, for I am ill-versed in martial skill...
15:29:23
"Don't worry about it, my problem isn't here. An old friend of mine, helped me create an enchanted scabbard which until now served as a seal. The problem is that o month ago, it broke."
15:31:18
"Then Aëlynn and I managed to seal her again, but with our little knowledge in the matter. So now, she's just asleep, weakened, and we need to feed her with energy from now and then."
15:32:57
hmm... Energy again...
15:34:00
Nagusa seems deep in thought
15:34:06
"I'm pretty familiar with the issue of being tied to a need of energy feed. That is something we can easily deal with."
15:35:15
Nagusa seems confused as to her purpose in this discussion, wondering where Aelya is leading her
15:36:14
"Look, I'm not really sure you can do anything for me in this story dear, but my main issue here is to restore that poor girl's free will. I won't lie to you saying that I don't want a powerful ally, but honestly I mainly want to help her."
15:38:38
"I have done searches, and there is no way to separates the girl from the sword anymore. So if I can find a way su suppress her bloodthurst without putting a man's life at risk..."
15:40:19
do you know what triggers the bloodthirst, or if it is even possible to snap her out of it?
15:41:11
"Hmm, for what I know, this is like hunger, it comes with time. And there are only two ways I know to end it. Either feeding her, or pray for her to fall in love with a man that will satisfy her..."
15:43:30
a lightbulb goes off in Nagusa's head
15:44:01
must it be... a man?
15:44:06
"Sadly yes, and form what I heared, she must chose him. He becomes somehow his scabbard if I may say. And her urges to kill transform into sexual urges, as long as he manage to satisfy her."
15:46:54
she waves away what Aelya is trying to say
15:47:42
so... as long as she is satisfied, and it
15:47:49
it's male, that's fine? you don't need an actual human male, do you?
15:48:02
(sorry accidentally hit the enter key)
15:48:13
"Human, elf, kitsune,... I'm not sure, but I think that as long as it's a male she fall in love with, that will do it."
15:48:56
(Ooops wrong char ^^)
15:49:10
Oh, i think I have the right person in mind for the job...
Nagusa smirks, a twinkle behind her eyes
15:50:05
An unending appetite for sexual activities, and pretty strong stamina to boot...
15:50:40
oh, just to confirm, she... lubricates like normal, right? that biological function hasn't ceased?
15:51:09
She smiles lewdly
15:51:20
"I may know someone too, but she definitly has to choose and recognize him as sort of her husband, or she will jsut try to rape and kill him. As for that function, I really have no idea."
15:52:56
oh... I don't think that'll be a problem... but let's go with whoever you have in mind first. That'll probably be a safer choice
15:54:15
You suddenly hear the door close and Aëlynn walks to an armchair
15:54:47
"And that's why, Aëlya, we need to find how to create a fonctionnal seal to target only her bloodthurst. I'm not sure that she'll like to discover that he has three wives...""
15:56:27
She sits and fills you cup and another one for herself
15:57:05
She takes a sip and looks at you, seeming a bit exhausted.
15:57:45
"Sorry for leaving so quickly before Nagusa."
15:58:22
That's alright. And thank you, madame!
she smiles politely
15:58:47
"Please, call me Aëlynn."
15:59:51
"So, did Aëlya explained to you all the misery of the situation? How now either we put lives at risk, or we end the life of that girl?"
16:02:00
She look pretty annoyed.
16:02:40
She frowns as Aëlynn reminds her the facts, "Yes, you're right, and that's why I'll still ask Roma for help.""
16:02:44
Yes, and it seems we both have a solution in mind... wait
16:02:51
You mean to ask the lord for help?
16:03:02
"Oh yes she will, and on that I agree with her. He owns a large library, has acces to knowledge that are unknown to us. And despite all the divine magic Selûne can grant me, I admit I'm lost."
16:05:02
"Also, I'm not sute that to put a man's life at risk is the right solution."
16:05:34
What would you suggest then, Aelynn?
16:05:59
She grumbles, puffing hard on her pipe as Aëlynn speaks
16:06:20
"The only way I can see to end the problem definitely, is to create another seal. But this time one that will not seal her completely. One that will only seal her bloodthurst, allowing her to live her life with very few risks. And when I see what Roma already did, I'm sure he can be of some help."
16:09:05
She looks at Aëlya before looking back at you.
16:09:29
Nagusa looks deep in thought as she considers the options
16:09:50
"But we wanted to ask you too, since you're in touch with other kinds of forces and knowledges that are unknown to us."
16:10:13
How... confident are you that you can seal it successfully? and what are the consequences should you fail?
16:11:23
when undertaking a venture, we should look at all the risks involved for each option
16:11:46
"I know, and we are not very confident for now. But in any case, she will end breacking the actual seal that keeps her asleep. And the consequences wil be the same as if we fail with the new one or with a man."
16:14:13
She takes a serious look.
16:14:24
"We will have to fight her again, and maybe this time we will have to kill her to avoid her to kill anyone."
16:15:09
She sighs too, "And that's absolutely not what we want..."
16:15:38
How long will the current seal hold?
16:16:48
"Hmm, maybe a month."
16:17:28
we should take this time to thoroughly explore all the options available to us
16:18:10
then, in the event of a worst case scenario, we can at least take solace in the fact that we have tried all the we can, rather than rushing into a decision right now
16:18:42
"That would be for the best indeed. We did not intend to take a decision right now."
16:19:44
She turns to Aëlya, "Won't you...?"
16:20:16
"Oh yes, of course!"
16:20:32
Great. Then let us set up a date with the lord to seek his opinion, and in the meantime you can come and visit me, and i'll introduce you to the candidate I have in mind
16:20:37
And Aelynn, would you continue to look up the sealing spells, and see if you can minimize the failure rate as far as possible?
16:21:09
She gets up, "Excuse me Nagusa, I will leave you two a moment"
16:22:10
And she disappears herself in the room.
16:22:32
hmm...
Nagusa frowns at Aelya's sudden disappearance, wondering if something urgent happened
16:22:58
so uh... Aelynn. Nice to meet you...
she smiles awkwardly after having such a serious discussion
16:23:19
She smiles, "Nice to finally meet you too, I've heard wonders about you. And don't worry, she's just going to give her share of energy."
16:24:42
She giggles, "She likes to disappear like that all the time, must be for the dramatic effect."
16:25:19
oh
she blushes a little i... see...
16:25:33
I hope it isn't as... violent as you two have made it out to be
16:25:50
She giggles a bit louder, "Oh no! It's not violent at all. Actually, she's a sword right now, and we just tranfer our energy to her without even touching her."
16:27:56
"It's only.... Exhausting..."
16:29:13
hm... if i may...
16:29:20
what kind of energy are we talking about here, exactly?
16:29:30
To my knowledge, there is magical energy, life force energy, vitality energy, and probably many more types that I have not heard of yet
16:30:03
"It only life force. Just our dear friend over there," she looks at the door, "that's she understands so well what happens to this girl, the madness apart."
16:33:05
(*just like ou der friend)
16:33:24
(*our dear friend!!!)
16:33:39
Would it not be detrimental over time, then? even if you could find someone who could satisfy her?
16:34:41
I cannot imagine being constantly drained of life force a viable long term strategy
16:35:00
"I understand your concern, but that's why Aëlya is the right person to deal mith the problem. She became herself pretty good at controling this, maybe she can teach her..."
16:37:00
She softly bite her lip, "But that's only if we can seal her frenzy."
16:37:54
hmm...
she lapses deep into thought again
16:38:29
She takes a sip and a cookie on the platter, handing it to you.
16:40:07
"But anyway, I need to ask you as I have the chance and I know that is far away from our discussion but..."
16:40:45
she shakes her head to break free from her chain of thoughts
16:41:09
She hesitates a moment, "...what is that receipe you use, for those delicious red bean cookies. I remember the taste, but I can't manage to replicate it. So since she tasted it once at Sunny's Shrine, Aëlya is asking me to do some, and I can't."
16:44:46
ahh, was that all.
she giggles a little, relieved it wasn't another serious topic
16:45:38
Tell me how you have done it, and perhaps I will be able to point out the differene
16:45:49
"Oh, I just followed a receipe I got from a book,..."
16:46:56
She explains you the ingredients and the way she does it, "But it's not as I remember it from Japan."
16:47:54
Well, the first rule of sweets is never follow a book religiously
she hides a small smile
16:48:43
A book will give you the basic understanding
16:49:11
but you'll have to experiment slightly with the ingredients and flavours to really bring out the taste
16:49:42
There are many factors that can affect it. For example, herbs freshly picked from the forest, would give a deeper and richer flavour than the ones you buy on the commercial market
16:50:44
She blushes a bit, "Sure, but the last two weeks, I tried every single day to make some, and tried many changes in that receipe. But still not as good as what we remember and tastes almost exactly like your own receipe according to Aëlya. But I'd understand that you don't want to share it like this, as it's part of your secrets."
16:54:03
No, I have no secrets to keep. Good food should be shared among all. It is a joy to be able to share good food
16:55:25
"One that we agree, dear."
16:55:44
And two weeks is hardly enough time. Keep at it =P.
16:55:52
I can show you how I make them myself, but I think the most important ingredient... is making it from the heart, while thinking of the people who will enjoy it as you make it
she smiles sweetly
16:56:29
She smiles back, "I know, thank you. But I don't have too much time. Taking care of this family is pretty time-consuming. As much as Aëlya can manage on her own, the others can be worst than children. I really feel like a mother sometimes!"
16:59:29
Oh. so you're the mother! I wondered how Aelya could manage the whole family herself!
she laughs along too
17:02:29
It's nice to know who is actually keeping the family together!
17:02:43
"Yes, I'm the sweet annoying mom... and she is the cool badass aunty."
17:04:07
Bot/Gelöscht
Hellooow~
17:04:14
(hello sapphire!)
17:04:25
She swipes a tear form her cheek, "Aaaah, feel good to laugh."
17:04:28
(Long time no see, super mom!)
17:04:51
Oh yes, laughter is always a good release! I'm happy I could make you smile, even just for a bit!
17:05:23
Bot/Gelöscht
(had lots of things to do, moving, chores, baby, who's 7 month old right now 😱)
17:05:28
(congrats on that, a bit late but still)
17:06:12
(It's great to see you again anyway! and congrats on the move!)
17:06:34
Bot/Gelöscht
(thanks, for both! It was time to move, 35qm isn't neatl, enough to live with 3 people)
17:07:14
"Thank you for that, can be hard sometimes to take care of everything."
17:08:26
(I wish you both a great rp)
17:08:27
Say... out of curiousity...
she leans over to whisper conspirationally
17:09:24
who do you think is the hardest member to look after?
17:09:40
She leans toward you, whispering back, "Definitely Kyraël... even though she and Maki reunited... Ô Selûne save me!"
17:11:18
She laugh again.
17:11:42
ahh... yes... she certainly gave me a shock when I first came here
she starts giggling in embarassment
17:12:39
She sighs deeply, "She always do that... She did it for Maëlya, for Maki, for you. And she keeps doing it to everyone here on a daily basis... But that's what somehow make her charm."
17:15:00
oh, she grows on you over time like that.
17:16:02
I should know. I know someone who has a pretty mean mouth, but is really nice deep down once you get to know her
17:16:29
(Have fun trying to read all the beginning with the two channels btw, sry ^^)
17:16:33
(i'm sure they'll just catch up with the log later if they want =P)
17:17:27
She smiles affectionately, "Sure, she can be a real sweet heart when she wants, but she can also be an avatar of a god of mischieff..."
17:18:16
"Or even a god of chaos..."
17:18:51
well, we better stay in her good graces then!
17:19:06
"Don't worry, those two scamps have the same weakness... sweets. As long as you can give some to them, you'll be their best friend"
17:20:29
i'll... write it down somewhere... sounds like a certain other fox i know...
she giggles again
17:21:18
the one you got your red bean buns from =P
17:22:29
"Oh, Sunny right? I never had the pleasure to meet her though."
17:23:08
ahh, then hopefully you'll meet her one day too
17:24:32
she'll awaken your motherly instincts, alright
17:24:43
"It would be a pleasure," she giggles, "it's been a long time since I've wanted to visit your Shrines."
17:25:44
There will be much to talk about, I'm sure.
17:26:49
but uh...
she fidgets a little
17:26:56
perhaps a more... normal entrance? it's quite weird to see aelya just sinking and rising from the ground...
17:27:22
"Hmmm..." She puts her chin on the palm of her hand, looking at a chandelier, "So common traveling ways it is. Is it okay though if I come by the air?"
17:29:05
Um... that should be fine, as long as you don't sneak into the building itself
17:29:54
(Hello y'all o/)
17:29:55
The first time I received her letter, I thought we were burglarized...
17:30:16
(How's everyone ?)
17:30:34
"Oh, don't worry. But that surprise me, she didn't left it outside?"
17:31:08
(I'm doing pretty good, thanks :3)
17:31:35
Yea. Right on the front entrance... Usually mail gets left in the box near the road...
17:31:55
Although, I must say I have only received mail from a very small number of people so far
she blushes slightly at a memory
17:32:35
She appears from the shadows and takes a sit back in the armchair she left.
17:33:48
Oh, welcome back, Aelya!
17:34:03
"WE are not used to mail box Aëlynn!"
17:34:05
She nods and smiles, panting slightly, "Sorry, if it took me too long, she's becomeing quite thirsty."
17:35:02
"Well, at least we're good for one or two days I hope."
17:37:20
She crosses her arms, smiling, "Nagusa and I were talking about how you always pop in and out, like Kyraël. You should really stop..."
17:38:28
Nagusa offers a sheepish smile, guilt written on her face
17:39:11
She sighs, "Well, maybe... but the classical ways of traveling are so borring though..."
17:39:52
"Sorry if I afraid you last time Nagusa."
17:40:16
no. no, it's alright
17:41:19
Since we're all here, how about this
17:41:34
We'll do this in order, since we also have official business
17:42:08
Aelynn can come to visit me sometime, and I'll show her around the forest, as well as some of my recipes. Then, we'll make an appointment with the lord to see what he thinks of your plan. Then we'll make a visit to the Sun Shrine to visit the candidate I had in mind.
17:43:06
After all that, we'll decide what the best course of action is regarding your little problem
17:43:30
She nods, "Agreed."
17:43:55
"Of course, even though Roma is already aware of our little problem. He just doesn't know all the details."
17:44:57
(Or at least he will soon be aware, but in the chronologie, he is ^^)
17:45:31
Great!
she smiles, contentedly
17:45:54
Are there any more members of your lovely family I should meet, or should I start to prepare for Aelynn's next visit?
17:46:21
Well, if you met Kyraël and Maëlya, there is Maki, but I think he's out, and Aëlyrya... she might be in the Towers with Shannaël, looking for someone to have fun with..."
17:49:36
"So I guess it will be for another time, except if you stay for dinner."
17:50:02
There's always next time! They... don't have an urgent curse or anything attached to them, do they?
she hides a small smile
17:50:28
"We will gladly welcome you at our table indeed Nagusa if you want to. Dinner is in a few hours."
17:51:26
"And no they don't", she giggles"
17:52:07
Oh, that sounds great! Food in the city is exotic compared to the simple fare I am able to prepare back home
17:52:12
I gratefully accept your hospitality then
she puts her hands together and bows slightly to aelya in thanks
17:52:42
"Please Nagusa, feel yourself at home here, no need to be so formal."
17:53:56
She looks at Aëlya trying to hide a giggle, "Well I like that, it changes from the usual atmosphere..."
17:55:02
Nagusa stands up and dusts herself off lightly
17:55:38
well, please... lead the way then
17:55:45
Both Aëlynn and Aëlya stand up, and she leads you out of Aëlya's appartments.
17:58:29
"Please, follow me then dear, maybe you'll be able to give me some advices will I prepare the dinner."
17:59:02
I'd be happy to, although I probably will be rather unfamiliar with your foods, if the experience I had at the lord's mansion is anything to go by
17:59:34
Nagusa follows the two ladies out, idly chatting as they walk
18:00:04
She winks at you with a smile as she gets down the stairs, "Well, we visited many different worlds, and I found delicious dishes on almost each one, so I can propose you lot of variety."
18:01:23
They keep going down, their voices slowly fading
18:02:23
(good place to end?)
18:02:58
With a large smile, Kyraël appears, floating in the air, "That will be so much fun!!"
18:04:07
(yep. thank you!)
18:04:57
(Hope you enjoyed)
18:05:20
