Crys says: hey, didnt se ya sign in jo says: hehe.. i sneeky jo says: lol jo says: what you up to? Crys says: sewing... top is finished, need to do skirt/ribbon/necklace.... might make mads a waistcoat   Crys says: you? jo says: lol.. surfing jo says: being generally contented Crys says: intersting prog on chan 4 +1, about queen elizabeth and pirates/privateers jo says: ohh jo says: anyways idea   jo says: you interested? jo says: it requires i tell you quite a lot of plot but is kinda cool for molly Crys says: right, mike and I had a chat... basically, kai will accept 1,000G upfront and then she'd have to travel and work for him for 5 years. obviously Molly will refuse, because she couldnt bear to leave Morgan, so she would be hoping that the salavage will come up in her favour, or Morgan will be persuaded Crys says: tell me whatever plot ya like, you've seen from previous games that what I know OOC doesnt affect my IC reaction jo says: cool.. then you can descide whether you go with it IC Crys says: ok, go for it jo says: ok.. Molly is approached by a gentleman who claims to be able to help you in your current situation, your not sure how he nows but he know quite a bit about what has been happening jo says: he offers to pay the debt for you if you work for him, doing something specific for his castillian freinds jo says: he want you to seek something out and when you find it send word to his freinds Crys says: see I like the idea, but Molly wouldn't do it... she'd beg Morgan first... she'd be suspicious that it'd get in her in more trouble, and a few months down the line she'd be further embroiled in something awful. jo says: he is a little cagey unwilling to tell all unless he is certain you will go along with it Crys says: she doesnt trust the castilleans at all jo says: he isnt castillian.. he assures you that you will not be required to break any laws jo says: the thing you would seek doesnt belong to anyone and you would only have to inform him and his freinds as to its where abouts Crys says: she'd ask why it would be worth 2,000G to him for her to be involved if its nothing risky jo says: he tells you money is worthless jo says: 2000g means a lot to you.. to me it means nothing jo says: it is secret.. you couldnt tell anyone jo says: the money buys your silence more than anything Crys says: What can require so much silence, if it is not theft, nor illegal? jo says: others seek to destroy it.. but that cannot happen. if anyone were to know someone who wished to destroy it would surley succeed Crys says: Why would they wish to destroy it, unless it was dangerous? Also, if they were so determined, once found, it may be worth to them far more than 2,000G jo says: i didnt say it wasnt dangerous only not illegal... my freind know who to control it contain it.. if it werent for idiots getting involved where they shouldnt it would not have been lost jo says: it may indeed be worth more than 2000g however as a lady and one of honour perhaps to get more for it would require more action of you than you would wish jo says: thats hould say how not who Crys says: ((Jo, would she have any idea that the salvage might work out, or that Morgan might have enough to solve it?)) jo says: not really.. at this point there is no garurentee that you will find enough in salvage.. or wether you could convice morgan to help jo says: (( or if you would want to ask morgan to bail you out if there is another alternative)) Crys says: And I could tell no-one? I would be expected to find it, and keep it safe until it could be retrieved by you or your friends? Crys says: ((her instinct would be to ask Morgan, yup)) jo says: thats is correct jo says: (( OOC... ref note you could tell someone if you trusted them enough.. and if you think they wouldnt try and get it before you to claim the money, jo says: if you think they could help you)) jo says: ((and as long as the gent didnt find out.. also you could haggle a bit.. he just told you money is no object!)) Crys says: (((arrrrrgggggh! thisis a toughie!)) Crys says: When would the debt be settled? jo says: i will make you this offer... i shall give you 1000g now, for you to seek the item and keep quite about our discussions today, if you do not find it you need never contact , me again and we will call it quits jo says: if you find the thing, protect it until i can collect it i will give you a further 1000g Crys says: The problem occurs thusly... were I , or someone I knew of who stumbled upon it, to find his object, I would be at personal risk to protect this item from others. Were I to find it, and it be destroyed, what happens to me then? jo says: you are think are a lady who has done much been to many places and never come to harm, i think you can find those who will protect you even if they dont know why... as for the second question, i should be very disappionted of course but our bargin hold true.. you kept you word about silence and did try to seek the item jo says: the first payment is yours jo says: if it were destroyed we would have no further need of your assistance Crys says: But no retaliation for my failure would come to pass? jo says: lady... i am a gentleman of honour jo says: a first payment to keep quiet and seek it and another to help as take it Crys says: I think that a search might be costly, as will protection for both myself and the item in question. As you know, I must settle my debt immediately, for in debtors prison I should be no use at all.... Therefore, I would need more funds, though I believe sir, you mentioned that money was not a great concern to you? jo says: if you failed to keep quiet.. that would be a different matter jo says: how much? Crys says: 2,000 immediately, to settle my debt. If the item is indeed found, and protected til your return, a further 5,000 to ensure I can cover whatever security and protection I deemed necessary to hire to protect the object. jo says: 1500 now and a further 2000 Crys says: 2,000 now and a further 4,000 jo says: 1750 now and a further 2500 Crys says: 2,000 now and a further 3,000 jo says: 1750 now and a further 2750 Crys says: 2,000 now and a further 2800 jo says: done Crys says: ((lmao)) jo says: (( brb.. need to make food!) jo says: ) Crys says: ((kk)) Crys says: So, now I should need to know what the object is, where it might be, how to contact you and whom to watch out for... jo says: (( ok i have food)) Crys says: ((if its ok with you, this would be ideal to be weds 11th march, because thats where M and I have gotten to RP wise lol, and Kai makes his suggestion of 5 years employment the next day) jo says: the thing you seek is the spirit of idnil - hem, he, we believe, followed someone who was at the san lorenzo monestary earlier this year. You can tell his presence as anyone whom he is in contact with will suffer terrible nightmares, about darkness and fear and someone or something chasing them. You need only ask around at the party which will happen soon and see if anyone has been suffering nightmares. ((ok)) jo says: then let us know if he is likely to be there jo says: those who do not understand his gift for us will seek to destroy him Crys says: So it is not an object, per se? Once you return, you will take this spirit away with you, somehow, if it is at the gathering? jo says: those who seek to destroy knowledge will seek to destroy him jo says: of course.. that will be an easy matter Crys says: Is it likely, do you believe that it has followed one of those who regularly attend at Lady Cathrines? jo says: and as you say IF he is at the gathering.. there are a large number of people who were registared as visiting the monestary around that time who will attend Lady Catherine gathering jo says: not nessisarily.. we are following up everyone from the register jo says: but a large number we believe are planning to attend the party at the beggining of this social season Crys says: So it is possibly I am not the only one you have struck such a deal with? jo says: of course not... there is also i can tell you a gentleman in Castille as we speak do just such a task as this, a woman in Montaigne seeking out a Lady by the name of Ashcroft and i believe somone who has gone to the empire of the crestent moon jo says: you are the only one who will attend Lady Catherine party Crys says: Ashcroft? In Montaigne? Yes, that would explain why.... not to worry. jo says: you know of the lady?? ah yes you met her as san lorenzo Crys says: Yes, though I had thought she would return to her estate in Castile rather than travel further... I wondered merely that to the best of my knowledge, a friend of mine had received no correspondance from her jo says: I'm sure my college will prevail... if it was unexpected to travel perhaps that is a good sign of Idni - Hem Crys says: would the person being followed by the spirit be apt to travel a great deal? jo says: he gives you an adress of a boardinghouse in Carleon, you may contact me at this adress just send word i will get it, i shall not be thre however after he is found jo says: not nessisarily.. perhaps Crys says: I shall memorise it and destroy it then jo says: but something unsual more likely.. not not always the case.. he was very weak Crys says: _was_.... jo says: the lst known whereabouts and reports of him were yes.. alas it has been sometime.. he may have found a way to regain his strengh.. of course he may not have.. we really have little to go on jo says: do not fear jo says: he doesn not seek to cause intentional harm.. more often he will act in self defence jo says: of course to my knowledge he has never been in Avalon before.. in my experience such matter often differ here Crys says: Avalon can be.... odd jo says: or of course sometimes someone of great power can control his actions jo says: and then he is only a tool.. as dangerous as the one controling him Crys says: I assume a magical or spiritual power? It might be wise to know what can be done to keep him as subdued as possible until you arrive.. the less a threat he seems, the higher the chances of one of the guests attempting his destruction jo says: humm.. i'm not sure.. he like people with great imaginations Crys says: *Molly goes pale* That could be interesting... I tend towards the over-imaginative myself jo says: you should have no problem then Crys says: I hope so. How long will it take you to arrive from the moment word reaches you? jo says: he smiles at you.. reaches under his coat and brings out a large bag jo says: not long Crys says: ((I've always used it that Carleon is about 5 hours by ship) Crys says: ((she'd get siobahn to send the coral with the letter I reckon)) jo says: he gives you the bag... funny really that he already knew you would only settle for 2000g Crys says: *she takes it, slipping it under her cloak* jo says: (9 any old messenger will do.. a fisherman going that way)) jo says: brb Crys says: kk jo says: (( back)) jo says: (( i think its a couple of days to get there by road Crys says: ((I think it was 3, with two stops over night)) jo says: so message with fisherman.. then a couple of days)) jo says: (( sounds right)) Crys says: ((unless she can get the coral to go, and wait to pick him up  )) jo says: depends on what/ who he needs to bring Crys says: true jo says: anyway he might not even be there Crys says: yup yup Crys says: ok, will she still make anything from the salvage? jo says: not much Crys says: righty ho
