Opulently-wrought pillars of green jade support soaring, vaulted ceilings and archways, reliefs worked into the stone depicting legendary beasts and mighty spirits. Ornate carving on the walls, picked out in semiprecious stones, show yet more impressive works, impressive-looking creatures doing battle with each other as well as figures in robes and veiled hats. Vast windows with complex patterns are set high into the walls, although no light is let through. Instead, a large number of floating lanterns illuminate the hall.
Small groups of individuals in grey robes and tall hats, and some in red and white stand here and there, conversing, reading tomes or, for the most part, observing the exceptionally flashy and sparkly visitor.
The hall is bisected by a line of desks, each made of the same marble as the floor and carved to appear as if growing straight out of it. Three are manned at present- the central one is occupied by a severe-looking woman with an array of long, golden hairpins securing a fanlike hairstyle, flanked by guards in emerald-green armour. To her left, a bespectacled middle-aged man sits at a desk of his own, the desk to her right occupied by a younger man wearing a thin copper circlet, both with guards of their own. All three wear identical, somewhat gaudily-coloured robes.

Ave has a pair of sunglasses on, another perched on his head, and attached to a string around his neck. He removes the pair from his eyes to get a better look at the room. He's impressed! The soldier-shielder-bankerman clear his throat quietly.

"Hchmnmhemm. Does it make a difference which of you I speak to?"

"It's all much the same," calls the bespectacled gentleman, "Although both myself and the lady to my left represent House Clavis, whilst the younger fellow is representing House Monas' interests in the portal."

"Forgive my confusion here, I'm new to the world. Which of these houses has jurisdiction over the portal? And is this some manner of an Immigration station?

"That would be House Clavis, as these lands are theirs." The clerk adjusts his spectacles. "The House felt it prudent to issue all travelers from the portal with papers in order to more easily clear up any misconceptions or offenses that arise from visitors' potentially unusual behaviour, language or lack of knowledge through no fault of their own. As the highest authority on Seirei, the word of a House that one is indeed a traveler from a world beyond this is far more likely to be lent credence than the word of an unusual-looking individual attempting to argue the same point, especially if the aforementioned individual could be mistaken for a spirit or the like. We also provide information on the laws of the land and maps in order to make your visit a more pleasant experience."

Ave nods curtly.

"That's much more sensible than just about any other portal I've traveled through. Good show." He turns to the younger man. "And what of House Monas? If Clavis has jurisdiction over this portal, what business do you have here?"

"Um." The young man clears his throat nervously. "House Monas is of the belief that House Clavis cannot claim ownership of a gate to another world, and as such all resources and benefits that arise from it cannot be ascribed purely to House C-Clavis, which is why House Monas wishes its interests represented here."
The female clerk, without changing expression or moving a muscle, somehow radiates an aura of such extreme disapproval partway through the explanation that even Ave feels somewhat admonished.

Ave blinks, but has enough bureaucratic know-how that this whole this is also somewhat amusing. He'll approach the displeasure-woman.

"I don't want to step on any toes while I'm here. Anything I should look out for?"

The woman gives him The Eyebrow. "If you follow our laws, which I am sure are much the same as all civilised lands you may have encountered, I see little reason for you to concern yourself with. An overview of the most pertient laws will be provided with your papers in order to prevent any breaches that may otherwise occur through ignorance. Atra."

From an ornate key on the clerk's desk a gout of ink erupts which wisps and whirls into strands, drawing the figure of a faceless woman in thin air. Sheets of paper begin to float off the neat stack on the woman's desk to meet the inky figure's outstretched hand.

"As a visitor to our world," the woman continues as the spirit works, "It is expected you shall conduct yourself with decorum. Observing and following the ways of civilised society shall ensure no issues arise." The ink-woman begins drawing her fingers across the floating paper, words and symbols forming on them as she does. "This world is under the protection and guidance of the Great Houses of the August Order of Spirit Tamers. It is therefore possible you will encounter members of this esteemed Order performing their vital duties to the Houses and for the good of the people, and indeed world at large. They are to be afforded the greatest of respect at all times, and not to be interrupted or impeded in any way, shape--" the clerk brings a hand down sharply on the now-complete stack of documents assembled in front of her, stamping it with an official-looking crossed-keys-over-a-keyhole seal. "--or form. Follow these rules and the laws stated in your papers, and your stay shall be a pleasant one."

Ave gets:

*Ave Selim's Papers from the Seirei Portal- (Bound Accessory, Quest Item, Light & Darkness, 1,000 Gold) +1 SPI

Ave pockets the papers, thanks the attendants, and heads out of the complex into the countryside! He doesn't have a *particular* destination this time, so he'll start along the path until he comes to a fork, or something arrests his attention.

Ave passes through palatial halls and ornate corridors, immaculately-manicured courtyards open to the night sky and airy arches.

He eventually finds himself outside of the portal complex, a brilliant cascade of stars twinkling in the sky overhead, blotted here and there by clouds. A vast green moon hangs low in the west, its surface undulating and rippling with various other greens and yellows. High above, a second moon- this one smaller and considerably uglier, its dull brown surface scarred and pitted- hangs, casting little light.

Ave finds himself facing his first challenge: a wide, smooth, white-stone road running from east to west (or perhaps vice-versa). Someone has helpfully erected a white-stone signpost opposite the road to the portal complex. It states that Clavia, Camberton, Mornhill and Albric's Hollow are to be found to the west, while Marefore, Pella and Dewbrook lie to the east.

Ave will head westward!

A direction is picked, and Ave heads off!
The night is fairly quiet, with little other traffic on the road besides the occasional lantern-lit carriage or cart. Perhaps it's too late for most to be traveling, or perhaps the aftermath of the Seed Rains has people shaken enough not to venture outside. Stone lanterns dot the side of the road at reasonably-regular intervals- enough to let the bling-warrior see where the road is going and where its boundaries are, but not enough to fully illuminate it. Which is fine, the lower level of light pollution lets him enjoy the sparkling splash of stars in the night above. Even if that brown moon is a bit offputting.

The terrain gets hillier as Ave continues, with more and more patches of trees and forests popping up, eventually giving way to large, unbroken swathes of woodland, causing the hilly sides of the road to become even darker and narrowing the visible about of sky above.
Two or three hours of walking later, he comes to a side road of the same white stone jutting off from the main one to the north. A stone signpost lit by lanterns declares that carrying on ahead will take him to Clavia, Mornhill and Albric's Hollow, while taking the side road will lead to Camberton, Mola, Upper and Lower Marchill and the Vire Province.

Ave uses the time on the road to think, reflecting on his brother, his friends in the Arena, the sum of his life up to this point. The Battle Arena changed Roy. It took the brother that Ave had grown up with and twisted him, distorting his wit and his fierce sense of justice until Ave could barely recognize him. He's sick. Ave renews his vow to become strong enough to bring the Roy he knows back. Or at the very least beat some sense into him.

He comes to the fork in the road and decides that the best way to begin his journey is not by heading to the major metropolises, but by seeing how the common people live. He's heading off the side-road, toward Camberton, Mola, Upper and Lower Parchill, and the Vire Province.

Ave sets off down the side-road, which carves through the hilly, forested terrain and gathers high embankments on either side, the occasional patch of trees that venture too closely to the roadside looming up as dark shadows over them. Curiously, it looks like someone's done a pruning job on them recently, and the strip of star-strewn sky above the route is unimpeded by branches.

Little stone lanterns provide enough light to see by, and Ave finds the walk quite pleasant until the drumbeat of hooves, rattling wheels and a strange and constant jangling, clanking sound begins to fade in from behind him.

Ave steps to the side of the road so as to avoid any involuntary collisions. Collisions may come, but Ave wants everyone to know they're coming.

A swaying pair of lights wink into view as the jangling and clattering increases in volume, soon resolving itself into a powerful-looking horse drawing a large, solid wooden carriage with a plethora of axes strapped to its sides. Perched atop the driver's seat is a rather muscular dark-haired teenage boy dressed in hard-wearing hides and leather, a pair of hatchets looped into his belt.
The lamplight hits Ave's veritable showroom of ultra-bling, refracting and glittering and glowing with diamondtacular sunshine, prompting the driver to slow down and squint against the glare.
"H-hello? Is someone there?"

Ave laughs. He hadn't realized his specularitude would cause such a wondrous display.

"Indeed there is! My apologies for the glare. If I may ask, where are you headed, axe-man? "

The muscular teenager squints in Ave's direction, raising a hand to shield his eyes from the dazzling display.
"I'm headed to C-Camberton- who are you?" He squints a moment longer in an attempt to see through the glare, adjusting a lantern's casing to direct its light away from Ave. "Or what are you? If you're some kind of weird spirit or something, I-I'm not going to be an easy target!" The boy's other hand strays to a hatchet at his belt.

[Modrageball]

Ave laughs. "Not yet, boy! Maybe someday, but certainly not yet." He tosses a pair of shades to the carriage driver. "It just so happens that I'm headed to Camberton as well. Perhaps we could even head in that direction together at the same time. What do you say? You'd be giving a weary traveler someone to talk to."

The driver fumbles with his hatchet, managing to grab the incoming sunglasses more through reflex than intent. He squints at Ave, squints at the sunglasses, and then squints through the ridiculously tacky things with an expression of incredulity.
"Y-you what? You're going to turn into a spirit?! How does that even work? What are you?"

Ave blinks. He waves his arms, sending dancing lights spiraling through the dark undergrowth.

"Oh, uh. Spirits? Ghosts? You know, when people die, their spirits...linger? Or am I using the wrong nomenclature and making an ass of myself? I'm firmly human. Sorry for the mix-up."

The teenager fixes Ave with a thoroughly confused stare. With the S& Glasses on, the effect is more than a little ridiculous.
"N-nnoooo," he begins, slowly, as if trying to explain a concept to a child, "when you die, your soul goes on to the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn as someone else. I mean, there's spirits that pretend to be people who died, and if you get stuck somehow you end up... kind of stuck in your body, which is when r-really bad things happen, but... are you from some kind of weird cult or something?"

Ave ponders the question.

"That'd depend on who you ask. I prefer to think of it as a dangerous, insane, and insanely dangerous extended family. It's a bit much to explain. I think it's simpler if we leave it at "I'm not from around here"."

He clanks his way next to the wagon. Does it look like it would support his weight, or is he better off hoofing it alongside the poor fella?

"Thanks for the heads up on Spirits. Heh, that's what I get for trying to be dramatic. What's your name? I'm Ave."

The carriage looks, to Ave's appraising eyes, like a heavy-duty affair. A bizarrely heavy-duty affair, in fact, especially given that it looks like a vehicle made more for conveying passengers than cargo (huge array of axes aside). The whole thing looks to be built on a somewhat larger scale than what would be considered normal, too. Perhaps whoever gets transported about in it is on the abnormally large and heavy side of things.

"W-wait," the driver stammers, craning over from his position at the front, "a-are you saying you're crazy or something? I-I'm not about to go driving some crazy armoured guy into the middle of town. Even if there are Tamers there."

Ave raises his hands in a conciliatory gesture.

"Look, forget I said anything. I'm doing a terrible job of explaining myself. You can keep the sunglasses. If you're headed to Camberton, I'll see you there soon enough."

Ave, recognizing that he's botched the situation rather completely, begins to stroll down the road toward Camberton, replaying the conversation in his head and trying to figure out how in the world he tripped that up so badly.

Ave extracts himself from the increasingly awkward social situation and stumbles off down the stone-lantern-lit road, clanking steps echoing off the flagstones as he mentally reviews the exchange again and again. Okay, clearly there's a cultural gap here which is at fault. And maybe replying to inqueries as to his status regarding being a member of a weird cult with the assertion that he's a member of some sort of dangerous family of lunatics wasn't the best way of going about things, but at least he's away now and things can't get any more awk--

A rattling sound interrupts his thoughts as the carriage, having resumed its journey, begins the slow process of passing him. The teenage driver doesn't seem to quite know what to do or where to look, apparently torn between curiosity, worry and a desire not to get involved resulting in a series of rapid head-twitches as his gaze shifts from the road, the reins, Ave's diamondtacular bling-shine and his own feet before starting all over again.

Ave can't stand it any further. He coughs, and turns to the boy and his cart.

"L-let's start over. I'm Ave Selim. I'm a traveler from far, far away. From beyond the Gate that House Clavia maintains, if you've heard of it. There are a great many strange and dangerous people through the gate. I'm here to investigate the aftermath of the Seed Rain, and to generally get a feel for a part of the uh, world, that I haven't seen before. I'm sorry I confused or scared you. Can we try this whole thing again?"

"Uh," the driver begins, fixing his gaze somewhere to the left of Ave. "y-yeah, I've heard of the Gate. Weird stuff comes through there. L-like that crazy rat-man who tried to kill everyone with walking trees during the Seed Rains. Or the fox-spirit-thing with it that spoke backwards and then vanished. Y-you coming from there makes a bit more sense..." he gives Ave another concerned look "...a-although I don't want any trouble with crazy family cults. I-I guess you haven't tried to kill me with plants or anything, though, even if you're kind of... weird."
The boy continues to gaze off into the middle distance, mental cogs almost audibly grinding. He flicks his eyes back towards Ave. "...A-Artie. I-I'm kind of here to deal with Seed Rain stuff too."

Ave smothers a grin at the mention of the crazed rat and confusing fox. "Did they really do all that? Let me apologize on behalf of all of us from Beyond the Gate. There are many good people beyond there, and many who are honestly quite terrible. I'm sorry that your first exposure was to some of the more eccentric among us. That's what I was alluding to, I'm my half-feebled way earlier. You certainly have the cart for cutting away overgrowth. Do you do this all alone? Isn't that dangerous?"

"I-I'm just an apprentice. My master's the one who does most of the work. H-he needed more supplies, so I took the carriage back to get them while he dealt with the tree problems up the way." He tugs the reins lightly, prompting the horse to slow its pace a little. "D-don't know much about the Gate besides rumours. N-nobody really does. Why do people come here from... wherever it is you come from?"

Ave shrugs in a slow crash of metal and gemstones.

"Big question, that. Why does anyone go anywhere? Beyond the Gate there are a million billion worlds to explore, all hooked up to gates just like the one here. Some travel in search of knowledge, for secrets they couldn't get anywhere else. Some travel for the sheer joy of travel. Ever been to a world where the trees are bright red and the stars sing sweetly at night? Where a giant bowls the moon across the sky on every fifth tuesday? Where demons wear the forms of little girls and feed off of the inefficiencies of man? I haven't, but I'm nearly certain all those are out there. Some travel because they are cruel, and they seek to feed whatever dark passions guide them in places where there are no repercussions, relatively speaking... I know more than a few who are like that. As for me...." Ave sighs. "...I was bored, I guess. I needed to get out, to do something."

He turns his head to Artie as they continue.

"Fairs fair though, question for question. Why are you an apprentice to a truly ridiculously armed woodsman?"

"O-other worlds?" Artie gapes at Ave in momentary disbelief, the expression soon shifting to something... else as he considers the man's abnormally, ridiculously opulent gear. "...I-I mean, there's the Spirit World, so maybe there's other worlds out there, but... there's really places that strange there? W-what kind of place is beyond the Gate? I-is everyone from different worlds?"
The boy shifts the reins to one hand, rubbing a hand through his scruffy mess of dark hair with the other. "Th-that's just... I-I mean, I thought it just led to some weird spirits that wanted to cause trouble and guessed the Tamers kept it open so they could catch them. I didn't think there'd be people there, never mind whole worlds."

The carriage rattles along in (relative) silence for a while as Artie grapples with the thought, axes clattering as a wheel hits a stray branch lying in the road. The jolt seems to shake the boy out of his contemplations. "Uh... I-I didn't want to be a cooper like my dad. I wanted to see more of the world. S-some spirit cursed the local forest so we couldn't get wood from it, and the mayor hired Master Sawyer to deal with it and make up for the loss. H-he did it so fast nobody believed it happened, so the mayor told him to go back under guard. H-he invited half the town to come watch. M-my dad came along because he was really picky about the wood he used, and took me with him to try teaching me a lesson about not lying and taking the easy way out."
Artie swallows somewhat nervously.
"H-he felled over a hundred trees with a single swing of his axe. N-nobody doubted him then. I-I was really impressed, so I asked him how he got so strong, and he told me about how he traveled all over and crossed seas to fell trees and handle forest spirits nobody else did. S-so I asked if he was interested in having an apprentice. A-and he laughed. A lot. S-so I left, but he threw a bag at me and told me I could start the next day. A-and I've been working under him ever since. A-about three years now."

Ave considers the stammering youth as he plods alongside the cart.

"And he hasn't done anything about your stutter? Mayhap some of your 'prenticeship should be spent in school. Sounds like good work though, and definitely exciting enough. Good on you."

He makes an expansive gesture when asked about what's beyond the Gate. "Nexus, Artie. It's sort of...the door hinge of a lot of places. All of them run together into a massive, truly stupefyingly big city we call Nexus. You could spend your entire life exploring it, and die having hardly seen any of it at all. Your Gate is one of many that connect disparate worlds together at Nexus. What kind of tree problems is your master dealing with then?"

Artie begins to reply, but pauses.
And pauses.
The whole world, in fact, seems to be frozen, caught in an instant.

Ave finds himself holding a baroquely-ornamented, old-fashioned telephone in white and gold, the receiver to his ear.
At the other end, a rambling, tired-sounding male voice speaks.

"Yes, this is Mr. Progression...

...

...well...

...thanks for calling.

Mr. Bling, wasn't it? Well, you certainly have an affinity for the flashy stuff...

...some might say it's tacky, mind you.

I wouldn't say that, though...

...it's completely the wrong element, after all.

You've got to be careful when it comes to jewellery, you know?

It's so easy to get it wrong...

You never can tell what somebody's tastes are...

You really never can tell.

...I mean, I was seeing a lady once...

...I really thought we had a thing going.

Talks about the future, and family, and a house, and shared stock options...

...the works, you know?

And then she told me "if you want to seal the deal, I'll need a ring with one huge rock on it"...

...well, I wanted to make the very best impression, so I did just that.

...turns out she wasn't a fan of the more common igneous variety.

It made things pretty awkward when the band struck up...

I mean, I always told her to mean what she said...

...guess that's what you call 'taking something for granite', you know?

...

...what?

That's not the saying?

...I'm sure it was.

Really, I'm sure that's how it goes.

...what's that? You didn't call? You're wondering who I am?

...I already told you. I'm Mr. Progression.

And I'm just calling you back before your future self called me...

Isn't that truly convenient?

...

...well, anyway.

I'm here to apologise for the wait.

...well, I know that no time has passed for you...

...but at the same time, a lot of it has passed...

...it's because of so and so and such and such a reason, you see. Thank you for your patience. The boss says he wasn't expecting the festival to be as big a thing as it was...

...and then this and that happened...

...well, anyway. I'm here to give you a refresher on your journey so far.

Fortunately, you've only just started, so this'll be a snap...

...you had no real goal coming in.

Well, there's something to be said for just wandering until you hit plot hooks...

...what? No, I didn't say anything.

I definitely didn't say anything meta.

Just ignore that.

...anyway.

You got yourself some papers, had a bit of a discussion with the clerks, they told you not to go stabbing anyone, and all that jazz...

...then you wandered off West towards Clavia, decided to see what charms the smaller towns of the area had to offer, and headed off up the road to Camberton, Mola, Upper and Lower Marchill and the Vire Province.

I'm sure you'll be hitting something to distract you before you hit the House of Blossoms' lands, though.

...speaking of which, you met a bodybuilding teenager with a stutter and a big carriage covered in axes going the same way.

...and then you weirded him out a bunch by telling him you might turn into a Spirit. And that you might be crazy.

I mean, you Arena people tend to do that.

...weird people out, that is, not turn into spirits or be crazy.

...although I guess you can do that too.

You've got a weird profession, you know?

...

...anyway.

That got chalked up to misunderstanding due to cultural differences, you gave him some fancy sunglasses from all of the pairs you were wearing, and then you tried introducing yourself again.

...that worked a bit better and you got that he was called Artie, an apprentice woodcutter on his way to Camberton to deliver his master weapons and supplies to deal with problems caused by the Seed Rains.

Then you told him about all the millions of worlds behind the Gate he'd only heard rumours about. Kid's still grappling with that one, but he gave you a quick run-down of his life story in exchange for that info.

...and now we're back here, with him about to respond to you telling him to deal with his speech problem and go to school.

"Hey, what's the deal with telling people how to live their lives and bringing up their speech impediments? Huh, you bastard?"

...that's what less professional voices on the line might say without my benefit of experience.

...but I've been doing this job for long enough to avoid that kind of pitfall, you know?

...

...well, anyway.

Keep a hold of the phone. The boss says it's by way of apology.

...just call if you get stuck or need advice or something.

It'll only work once, though.

...so don't just go calling me back asking what this was all about.

Really, don't.

...well...

...thanks for calling.

This has been Mr. Progression."

*click*



The world unpauses.

Artie looks uncomfortable. "M-master Banon says it doesn't m-matter what I sound like, because actions speak louder than words. Th-that's why I'm training under him. I d-don't need to go to school. I'm n-not interested in becoming a clerk or something."
He rattles along in silence for a few moments.
"Uh. Th-the tree problems are... pretty much that. Th-they keep growing back, and really fast. The r-roads to Mola, the Marchills and Vire Province are overgrown, and nobody's been able to get through them to see what's happened to the t-towns. M-master Banon was going to a job for the m-mayor of Mola, but we ended up having to cut down all the trees that kept trying to grow into Camberton. E-even with the Spirit Tamers there, we b-barely managed it. A-and then there was that tower that crashed into the f-forest..."


Ave finds himself holding:
Telephone That Calls Mr. Progression- (Consumable, Invention, Progress, 1 Charge, 500,000,000 Gold) Has RP Effects, this item and its effects may not be altered or replicated by sources below Level 200, this item's charge's consumption cannot be prevented or undone by sources below Level 200

Ave considers the telephone. Better not to dwell on that too long, I think, since time seems to be playing tricks here.

---------------------------------------

Ave considers this.

"What kind of job is he doing for Mr. Mola? And what kind of supplies are you after? Goodness knows it seems like you have enough axes."

"W-well, we were going to set up in Mola to stop the Seed Rains from making weird things grow in the town, but it hit faster and earlier than we expected, s-so..." the boy trails off, looking decidedly grim. "B-by the time we got to Camberton, the road was blocked with t-trees and we had to stop them growing into that town. N-now they're slowing down, we're trying to get the road clear enough to get there, b-but Master Banon said he needed some of his more specialised axes first."
Artie knocks against the carriage with an elbow. "I-I'm also bringing more food for the town. N-not many people want to come up this way because of the f-forest. I-it used to mostly all be grassland, s-so they're worried about what else might have changed..."

"Well, it's your lucky day, Artie! Because you, your master, and these fine environs have my help now! Let's go deliver these supplies to the good people and see what we can do about this pernicious plantlife. You might even make a bit of a name for yourself, win the attention and affection of all the bucolic beauties out here."

Ave's attempt at waggling an eyebrow is inhibited by his three sets of sunglasses.

"Uh."
Artie gives Ave his own incredulous look from behind his jarringly tacky, shiny, &-lensed sunglasses.
"W-well, you're kind of weird, b-but I guess if you're going to help out with protecting the town, I'm not going to say no."

The pair continue along the road! The route gently inclines above the bordering banks and begins winding its way along what Ave assumes is the outskirts of a series of hills. It's difficult to tell, however, due to the thickening forest on either side of the road.
He's not much of one for understanding plantlife, but even in the nighttime gloom beyond the lantern-lit road, the forest looks unusually... diverse. Quite a lot of the trees are odd shapes, or look like they have different sorts of foliage. There's an awful lot of dead leaves on the road, too, and a variety of strangely-shaped bushes just outside of the pools of light look sickly or dead. The air smells of greenery with just a hint of leaf-mould, occasionally bringing the scent of something stranger when the wind changes.
Despite the thickening canopy (mixed as it might be with dead or dying branches), the strip of starry night above the road remains unbroken, its edges perfectly uniform and smooth, helping alleviate some of the claustrophobic feeling.
While relatively quiet, the rattling of the carriage, clopping of the horse's hooves and occasional chirp or buzz of an insect offset what would otherwise be a somewhat creepy journey undertaken alone.

"Th-there." Artie points with his free hand towards a bend in the road, from beyond which a brighter glow than the usual roadside lanterns spills. "I-It's just around that corner."
A large and solidly-made, timber-framed sign driven into the ground at the roadside attests to the fact, small lanterns illuminating its cheery 'Welcome To Camberton' greeting. At one point it may have been surrounded by a flowerbed of sorts, but it looks like the flowers (and indeed much of the plantlife around the sign) has been dug up.

[Modrageball]

The quiet ride, rather than being unsettling, fills Ave with a sense of closeness (albeit not a particularly friendly attachment) to the nature around them. They approach Camberton!


Ave smiles. "Looks like a lovely little place. Very scenic. Do you think anyone is awake to greet us?"

The carriage (and Ave) rolls around the corner to behold the town of Camberton!

A tall, solidly-built timber wall surrounds the place, thick ropes strung with lanterns and some sort of variety of charm raised above it, presumably on the edge of a walkway atop the wall.
A long, lamplit road stretches from the large (easily enough to fit two or three carriages abreadt) gates through the town, bordered by rows of gable-roofed buildings, built primarily of (once again) solid timbers, many with fancy fretwork framing the eaves and edges.
From what Ave can tell, the town is mostly built up around this one main road, which runs in a straight line towards a larger, oddly-shaped building a good distance away, splitting into a fork to pass on either side of it.

Also notable is the area around the town's wall. It looks like there may have been a thick forest around it until recently, but a several hundred foot radius has been cleared leaving behind an almost pavement-like ground covering of stumps, all cut at a perfectly uniform height.

"Th-there should be. L-lots of people are still n-nervous about the trees, so the town's been sort of s-sleeping in shifts. A-and that meant that some of the businesses had to open at different hours to c-cater to them, which meant more people have been awake at different hours..." Artie clicks the reins, slowing the horse's pace slightly as the carriage passes the gates and hits the more uneven, worn flagstones of the town and eliciting new and more intense rattlings from the vehicle's axe collection. "...p-people have been pretty tired and annoyed because of it. E-especially as they had to make sure everything looked as good as possible for the visiting T-Tamers..."

There appears to be some activity further into the town, around the oddly-shaped building.

"Why go to such lengths to make everything look nice when there's a botanical crisis threatening the safety of the town? Do you really think the Tamers would turn up their noses at helping them if it's a bit messy?"

Ave knows commotion when he sees it. Commotion is where wills clash. Commotion breeds opportunity. Commotion is where soldiers of fortune make their uh, fortunes.

"Let's see what that up ahead is about then. What's that funny-shaped building?"

Artie shrugs. "Th-they wanted to make sure they made a good impression. Th-the Tamers were from the House of Blossoms in the Vire Province, s-so they had to make the Clavia Province look as good as they could, otherwise they'd get in trouble..." He pauses. "N-not that I heard House Clavis is really paying much attention to their lands nowadays. S-something about a succession?"
The apprentice woodsman guides the horse around a cart on the roadside.
"P-probably they focused on tidying up the town because they couldn't do anything else. T-the shrine maidens and the like were keeping the wards up, but what's a regular p-person going to do when it's raining weird plants that might kill you?" Artie frowns. "All the Tamers left to go back to their province after the Rains stopped, though. T-took down their flower palace too. D-didn't stick around to help Master Banon with the tree problem."

He points to the oddly-shaped building. "Th-that's the town hall. The m-main road splits there to go to Mola and the Marchills, s-so that's where they built it. It's where I'm supposed t-to drop off the food supplies, too. N-not sure why everyone's up there."


The duo make their way through the town, passing shopfronts, taverns, hotels and businesses aplenty on the way. It seems like the main road is used exclusively for commercial purposes, with side-roads leading off into more residential areas. One notably larger, more well-lit road lined with parkland leads off to a palatial walled estate within the town, its elaborate white stone facade and green rooftops more well-lit than any of the surrounding buildings, its gates closed.

As the pair close in on the town hall, it becomes apparently that the townsfolk seem to be moving beyond it, rather than clustering around it. Perhaps something behind the building is drawing their attention.
Ave doesn't have much more time to ponder, however, as his thoughts are abruptly derailed by a mountain with a haystack on top of it jumping into the middle of the road and shouting with enough volume to set his bling rattling.

"THERE YOU ARE, ARTIE! THOUGHT YOU'D GONE AN' GOTTEN YOURSELF LOST! PICKED YOURSELF UP A FEW DECORATIONS ON THE WAY, EH? GYAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The mountain with its attached haystack turns out, once Ave has had sufficient time to recover from his surprise, to be a very large beard with an even larger and hairier man attached to it, wearing heavy hides and leathers with shiny plates of dark wood attached. Somewhere in the midst of the Forest of Facial Hair a large, crooked nose and pair of twinkling blue eyes nestle.

"H-hello, master," Artie replies, practically whisper-quiet by comparison. "Th-this is Ave. He's come f-from the Gate and says he wants to help."

"REALLY? WELL, COULD ALWAYS USE A LIGHT OUT THERE AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT! GYAHAHAHAHA!" Mount Haystack looms over Ave. "KNOW MUCH ABOUT TREES, DO YOU? LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE MORE SET FOR THE MANTLEPIECE THAN THE FOREST!"

Ave listens to Artie's explanation. "So these Houses, as I understand are a combination of nobility, ruling class, and societal glue that polices pretty much anything Spiritual, is that right? That's quite a bit of authority and power for people who seemed to delegate the task of saving these people to you and your master."

The Master shows up! Ave is nonplussed by his volume, size, and general good-natured bellicosity.

He flips up his remaining shades and smiles, holding out a gauntleted mitt to Mr. Haystack.

"Pleasure to meet you, Sawyer," he says, "I'll confess that there's plenty I don't know about your particular trade, but I think you'll find that I'm a helluva lot more useful than most mantlepieces."

If Sawyer takes his hand he'll perform the time-honored tradition of THE TEST OF GRIPS. Strength against Strength!

Artie shrugs. "I-I'm not going to say anything against the T-Tamers. W-without them, we'd all be spirit's slaves, or dead. Th-the Tamers from House Fiora back home were definitely around more, though..." He glances back at the palatial estate's illuminated rooftops, still visible over the rest of the town's skyline.

"HEARD ABOUT ME THEN, I SEE! ALL GOOD THINGS I HOPE, EH ARTIE?"
The huge man practically engulf's Ave's hand in his own and begins THE TEST OF GRIPS. Ave squeezes! Sawyer squeezes! Ave's diamondtacular armour holds firm as the blingman draws on his reserves of strength to match the huge woodsman's own! The world focuses to a point as it holds its breath to witness a true battle of the ages as the still night air begins to stir around the two opposing forces of handshaking might!
An eternity of MANLY COMPETITION passes as the two continue to match force of arms, or rather, hands, against one another! Eyes locked, neither budging an inch, Ave's hand beginning to protest the vice-like grip on it, time passes in increasingly intense silence!
Sawyer's beard parts into a huge smile, teeth suddenly visible as the Great Moustache Curtain rises, the grip-contest abruptly turning into an enthusiastic arm-pumping. The huge man claps his other hand on Ave's shoulder and sets the flashy armour rattling. Ave's fairly sure he may have just been pushed into the ground a little.
"GYAHAHAHA! PLANNING ON GIVING IT BACK, I HOPE! I LIKE THIS ONE, ARTIE! DAMN SIGHT BETTER THAN THAT RAT-THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE GATE!"

Ave grins back, extracting himself from the ground as best he can and flipping his shades back down.

"So, what's the situation here? Bit of a hubbub for this time of night, isn't it?"

The huge man strides to the carriage, inspecting the plethora of axes strapped to it.
"YOU COULD SAY THAT. ONE OF THOSE TAMER TYPES FROM ALONG OUR WAY IS STOPPIN' OFF IN TOWN. SAYS HE WAS IN THE CITY FOR THE RAINS AN' HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEMS HEREABOUTS SO HE THOUGHT HE'D DROP IN TO CHECK ON THINGS BEFORE HE HEADS HOME. THOUGHT ONE OF THAT CLAVIS CROWD'D AT LEAST BE HERE TO HELP OUT, BUT IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT OUR BLOSSOM BOYS SINCE I GOT HERE!"

Artie cringes slightly. "M-master, that... that isn't exactly the most respectful way of..."

"POPPYCOCK!" Sawyer pulls an axe from the side of the carriage, removing its head cover to reveal an edge glowing cherry-red. He nods, apparently satisfied. "BLOSSOM BOYS KNOW IT'S MEANT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT! GOT NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW THE GARDENING LADS AN' LASSES HANDLE THINGS UP OUR WAY. 'LEAST THEY'RE NOT ALL HAVIN' HOLIDAYS IN THEIR FANCY CAPITAL FOR YEARS ON END."

The flagstone Ave was standing on does indeed appear to have been driven slightly into the ground. Fortunately, his feet haven't been driven into the stone with it.

"Aha, excellent. I've been wanting to meet another of these Tamer fellows." Ave says. "Have they been of much use so far?"

Onward to commotion!

"WE'LL BE DROPPIN' THE SUPPLIES OFF AT THE USUAL PLACE, ARTIE!" Sawyer booms, beginning to stride back towards the town hall, axes in hand.
"I'LL SAY THEY'VE BEEN AN' DONE A FINE JOB, ON ACCOUNT OF NO SPIRITS OR STRANGE PLANT-THINGS BREACHING THE TOWN'S WALLS ON THEIR WATCH! I MIGHT BE THE BEST LUMBERJACK GOING, BUT I CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE! EVEN IF SOME SAY I SOUND LIKE I AM, GYAHAHAHA!"

The huge man leads Ave around the strange, somewhat triangular town hall, not so much pushing through the crowds as the huddle of people parting at his approach like a stream of water around a boulder. Ave finds it easy to keep up in the void left in his wake.
Behind them, Artie manoeuvres the carriage around to the other side of the building, vanishing behind the walls.

The other side of the town hall contains a large park, its borders following and extending the triangular shape set by the civic edifice. Odd, glowing balls of light float about the grounds, illuminating manicured laws, topiaries and beds of furled and budding flowers interlinked and criss-crossed by wide stone paths flanked by benches and tall stone lantern-posts.
In the middle of one of the largest patches of lawn a small, fancy wooden pagoda stands, apparently growing straight out of the earth. Small branches in leaf sprout from it here and there, giving the odd impression of a structure infested with bonsai trees. A comfortable-looking wooden chair stands at the pagoda's centre, occupied by a figure in black robes with white trim. Overlong white undersleeves hides its hands and a flattened conical hat in matching tones sits atop its head, the figure's face hidden from view by the surrounding curtain of white, ribbon-like veils hanging from the brim.
They appear to be in conversation with a balding man in a slightly rumpled, but well-tailored brown suit, a golden chain of office around his neck.

Ave straightens his collar, dusts off his pauldrons, and approaches the crowd (and more importantly, the Tamer).

"Good evening!" he booms. "I'm Ave Selim, a member of the Nexus Battle Arena, from Beyond the Gate. I've come to Seirei, and to Camberton specifically, to investigate the wondrous phenomena described as the "Seed Rain," to take in the sights, sounds, and all of the wonderful local oddities of your world, and to offer my services as a problem-solver par excellence."

"You," he points at the veiled man in the pagoda, "must be one of the illustrious Spirit Tamers I've heard so much about."

"...And you," he points at the figure in the rumpled brown suit, "have the look of a local magistrate. A mayor, perhaps?"

The blinged-out hulk that is Ave clasps his hands together and gives a shallow bow. "So, Gentle Cambertonians, which crises can I resolve for you?"

Ave strides forward and addresses the Tamer! There are audible gasps and mutterings from the crowd as he does so. The brown-suited man lets out a strangled squawk and nearly throttles himself with his golden chain of office as he tugs and twists it in a panic.

"Y-you! You! You can't just... you can't go around just approaching members of the Great Houses as you...! This is completely beyond all possible comprehen--"
The man is interrupted by a deep chuckle from the robed and veiled figure. The mayor cringes, flinching as if expecting to be struck down as he stands.

"Come, now." The voice is deep, warm and articulate. "The man is clearly a visitor to these lands- indeed, this world- and as such cannot be expected to know of everything of the intricacies of our local custom or hierarchy. Quite besides which, if all members of the Order were to be placed on such unapproachably high pedestals, we would run the risk of losing sight of the world beneath, rather than being afforded a platform from which to view the lands we protect. While I cannot profess to speak for the House of Keys' methods of stewardship, I personally find it of benefit to hear out the words of the general populace, on occasion."

The hat swivels, veils fluttering as the Tamer turns to view Ave.
"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ave Selim of Nexus. I am indeed from the ranks of the August Order of Spirit Tamers- Clement Fiora, a member of the House of Blossoms. It appears that we have a goal in common- as, I suspect, does the esteemed woodsman presently looming behind you."

The Tamer turns to regard the mayor, who is still making strangly noises, eliciting another chuckle.
"As I am given to understand it, the greatest crisis in these parts is the unknown fate of the three settlements swallowed by the Seed Rains. No word or ward of those parts has yet ventured forth from the overgrown roads, and from what my fellow House members have relayed to me before being called back to their holdings, some measure of the Rains linger in the area, as evidenced by the regrowing forest the woodsman has been valiantly keeping at bay and the great tower that fell from the sky to the east."

Banon laughs, the thunderous outburst causing several members of the crowd to jump. "GYAHAHAHA! PRAISED BY ONE OF THE BLOSSOM BOYS THEMSELVES! THAT'S A BRAGGIN' RIGHT I'LL BE KEEPIN' IN MIND FOR YEARS TO COME!"

"...quite. As a matter of fact, master woodsman, I was going to call for you in order to make a request. There are two roads issuing from this town of Camberton- one leading to the towns of Upper and Lower Marchill, and the other to Mola, within sight of the Tower. As greatly regarded as my talents might be, I cannot say that being in two places at once is among them. In order to investigate the fates of the towns in question in a timely manner and to ensure the wellbeing of any who might remain trapped within, I request your assistance in the matter."
The hat swivels to face Ave (or at least, Ave thinks it does).
"I would extend this request to you in kind. There is no telling what may have fallen with the Rains, and events such as this provide an ideal environment for spirits and their ilk to run rampant. At the very least, assistance in clearing the roads to the stricken settlements will allow for the province's Spiritual Defense Force to follow and deal with any additional problems."

Ave nods decisively.

"The pleasure is all mine, Clement Fiora, of the House of Blossoms, of the August Order of Spirit Tamers. I'll get to the bottom of what happened in Mola. Or the Marchills, if you'd rather I started for there first."

He'll turn to Sawyer.

"What do you say, should we stick together or split the difference here?"

Clement holds up a sleeve-draped hand before Sawyer can answer.
"Given the Tower's closer proximity to Mola than the Marchill settlements, and my suspicions that the edifice in question may house malign spiritual forces, I will be undertaking the duty of the investigation of Mola myself," he states. "While I appreciate that you may have had business there, master woodsman, I would ask you instead venture up the other road. From my spirits' reports, I believe that whatever has a hand in the unnaturally fast regrowth of the forest may lie along that route. I apologise for the inconvenience, but I believe it would be far better to tackle these issues simultaneously, should there still be residents trapped within."
Ave notices the implication, unspoken, of 'if they still live'.

The huge woodsman lifts a massive hand to what Ave assumes is his chin, wherever it might be buried under the ample layers of beard-forest.
"CAN'T SAY I'D ENJOY BLOWIN' OFF A JOB, BUT I'M NOT ONE FOR DISOBEYIN' THE ORDER!"
The hand, huge as it is, vanishes inside the mass of facial hair.
"THEN AGAIN, WE DIDN'T MANAGE TO REACH THE JOB IN TIME ANYWAY, WHAT WITH THE RAINS AN' THAT RAT-THING SETTING PLANTS ON ALL THE FOLK TRYIN' TO GET TO SAFETY! WAY I SEE IT, THAT MAYOR CAN'T ASK FOR BETTER THAN ONE OF THE BLOSSOM BOYS COMING TO SAVE HIS TURF!" He looks down to Ave. "I'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU ALONG IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ME AN' ARTIE! COULD SHOW YOU A THING OR TWO ABOUT AXES, GYAHAHAHA!"

"I would likewise not be averse should you decide to travel with me to Mola," Clement follows. "I have heard interesting things about the skills and treasures of those from beyond the Gate, and have a great many questions about the city I have heard lies beyond."

Ave considers his options.

Sawyer is Bigstrong McHuge and likely to be fine. Clement, on the other hand, looks like a bit of a wimp, buoyed as he may be by spiritual powers.


"I'll have the honor of providing protection for our illustrious friend, Clement Fiora, of the House of Blossoms, of the August Order of Spirit Tamer," Ave says. "I'd be happy to spin you a tale or two of life beyond the Gate. I've been curious about your August Order myself."

Clement inclines his head as the mayor continues incredulously spluttering.
"Ah, excellent. I look forward to a mutually beneficial exchange on the particulars of our worlds as we travel. Before we set off, however, I believe it would be prudent to furnish the master woodsman with a means of communication between our two groups, in the unfortunate instance that a threat might be encountered that would require a more specialised hand."

A thin, rectangular piece of paper drifts from the Spirit Tamer's voluminous sleeves, bright blue light flaring around it and etching a complicated pattern of interwoven, calligraphied symbols on its surface. With a flash, the paper pulls itself into two identical copies, the second of which drifts towards Sawyer.

"MUCH OBLIGED! I'M SURE ME AN' ARTIE CAN HANDLE ANYTHIN' THE FOREST THROWS AT US, NO NEED TO WORRY! A FEW TREES CAN'T STUMP US, GYAHAHAHAHA!"
Booming with laughter at his own joke, the huge lumberjack turns and sets back off through the staring crowd, waving the still-glowing strip in one meaty hand. "LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY TREES GETTIN' RID OF!"

Clement turns to face(?) Ave once more. "Now, then. Have you any particular preparations to attend to before we set off, Ave Selim of Nexus?"

Ave glances around the crowd.

"Just a bit, I think. I didn't bring any consumables or revivatives with me." He turns to brownsuit. "Does Camberton have an apothecary, or someone similar who I could patronize? I would, of course, pay for whatever I needed."

"Yes!" The official finally squeaks after another round of strangled noises. He lifts a finger and waggles it in the direction of a large building beyond the crowds, lamps illuminating a sign with a painted image of a grinning green moon on it.
"There!" he manages, after more effort.

Clement chuckles at the exchange once more, nodding to Ave. "I shall attend to preparations of my own. Let us meet outside the north-eastern gate in..." he pauses, apparently mulling things over. "...I believe an hour will be sufficient. Should you require more time, please send a messenger to inform me."

Ave gives a quick salute and strides away through the crowd, toward the grinning-moon building.

He'll knock on the door to see if the proprietor is awake! Weird hours, and all that.

The door is open! Ave knocks anyway, and is rewarded by a sound that could most accurately be conveyed as "whrrgnnrrrbnorf".
The interior is well-lit with yellow, opaque lanterns, illuminating rows of display cabinets and shelves containing quite a variety of objects and goods. The large gaps in and among the merchandise's number, however, suggests to Ave that either there has recently been a rush on buying certain goods, or the place hasn't been restocking itself. Perhaps due to the aftermath of this Seed Rain business? The place smells of polish, cardboard and, for some reason, strawberries.

The most likely source of the bizarre noise he heard upon entry is the counter near the door, where a balding, stocky man in an apron with enormous bags under his eyes has apparently just woken up, blearily peering through the sleep-haze at Ave's glittering self.
"Whuzzit?" he finally manages.

[Modrageball]

Ave waves.

"Hello! Sorry to disturb your rest. I'm Ave Selim, an adventurer from beyond the Gate. I've decided to help out the fancy Mr. Spirit Tamer outside, and decided that before we venture into the far wilderness, I should stock up on some curatives and restoratives. I'm especially interested in such consumables that may help ameliorate certain mental malaises."

"Mmn. Gnrgh. Moment." The man fishes around under his counter, almost overbalancing and falling under it in the course of his search. Things rattle and clink in muffled symphonies for a few moments before he re-emerges with a small bottle. Squinting with sleep-induced myopia at the label, he takes a swig, almost immediately erupting into a fit of coughing.
"Hrerk, blek, hakk-- guh. Gnhngh. Foul stuff."

The man squints at Ave in a somewhat less bleary manner.
"Not seen you around these parts before. One of those Association lot come to pick over the damage? With that Fiora Tamer, too? Odd pairing." He shifts himself into a more upright position. "Curatives and restoratives. Bit short on those, what with what's not long happened. If you've got more specifics on what brain problems you want fixing, I might be able to find something that'll work."

"I'm concerned about any malicious influences trying to Charm, or Confuse me. In addition, I'm concerned about attempts made to Paralyze my body." Ave says.

"Hrm. Let me check." The man vanishes under the counter again to the sound of more rattling. "How much of a punch were you wanting for them? I might have a couple of things in back. Sometimes get those Association lot wanting to cut through town and pick up things on the way. Not usually this exciting around here, though."
He resurfaces with a clipboard, a thick sheaf of papers clipped to it, and begins leafing through the list.

Ave crosses his arms.

"Well. Potentially awful wood-spirits are no joke. If you have anything that is a bit more powerful than what you would use for say, everyday perk-me-ups, that would be ideal."

(Also scratch the Confusion-Aide. Ave's got a helpful immunity there I forgot about.)

"Hrm. Well, I might just have something that'll do the trick... give me a bit to get them together."
The man rattles about below his counter for a third time, emerging with a small crate, and sets off into the maze of shelves, the occasional clink, thud or muttered expletive escaping the rows of variably-stocked racks and cabinets.

He returns with a considerably less-empty crate full of bottles and boxes.
"Here. Let me know if these'll do you."

Draught of Chaste Temperance- 3,000,000 Gold (Provides a non-stacking Charm Immunity that cannot be bypassed by sub-60 entities)
'Canta's Wings' Joint and Limb Lintement- 3,000,000 Gold (Provides a non-stacking Paralysis Immunity that cannot be bypassed by sub-60 entities)
Lesser All-Panacea- 1,500,000 Gold (Cures all Minor Status Effects and stacks a recurring start-of-round Minor Status Effect cure for the next 5 rounds, 3 charges)
Lesser Yellow Panacea- 500,000 Gold (Cures Paralysis and stacks a recurring start-of-round Paralysis cure for the next 5 rounds, 3 charges)
Lesser Red Panacea- 500,000 Gold (Cures Charm and stacks a recurring start-of-round Paralysis cure for the next 5 rounds, 3 charges)
Granny Wiggles' 'Up And At 'Em' No-Stiffness Joint Rub- 200,000 Gold (Provides Paralysis Immunity for 2 rounds, cures Paralysis)
Miss Florence Wittington's 'Proper Conduct' Head-Clearing Tonic- 200,000 Gold (Provides Charm Immunity for 2 rounds, cures Charm)

Ave nods appreciatively.

"These look like just the thing. I'll take the Lesser All-Panacea, the Draught of Temperance, and that bottle of Canta's Wings Lintement."

He snaps, and the 7,500,000 Gold appears in neat stacks of local currency on the table.

Ave plonks down a large sum of money! The man looks somewhat taken aback at the sudden appearance of so much gold.

"Hrm, well, I... right, then. I'll just... find somewhere to put all this."

Ave gets:

Draught of Chaste Temperance- (Consumable, Potion, Light, 1 Charge, 3,000,000 Gold) Target gains Charm Immunity, instances of Charm Immunity provided by this item may not be ignored or bypassed by entities below Level 60
'Canta's Wings' Joint and Limb Lintement- (Consumable, Medicine, Air, 1 Charge, 3,000,000 Gold) Target gains Paralysis Immunity, instances of Paralysis Immunity provided by this item may not be ignored or bypassed by entities below Level 60
Lesser All-Panacea- (Consumable, Medicine, Earth & Air & Fire & Water & Light & Darkness, 3 Charges, 1,500,000 Gold) Cures all Minor Status Effects on target and provides a buff that cures all Minor Status Effects on target at the start of the round for the next 5 rounds, does not stack

Ave thanks the shopkeep, hoping that he gets a chance to rest soon.

That done, he'll trundle back out to Clement Fiora, ready to head on out.

Ave conveys his thanks and wishes (getting a distracted grunt in response as the man grapples with the huge amount of gold on his hands) and heads back out into town!

The crowds look to have dispersed somewhat, with townsfolk milling about in the general directions of what Ave assumes to be the residential areas, the sound of numerous conversations and exchanges filling the air from various quarters. Many stop and stare at the blinged-out, overshiny shieldbearer as he passes, with further eruptions of muttering and speculation flaring up in his wake.
He passes by the triangular town hall once more, passing the park- which no longer has those odd lights dancing around it, and is conspicuously bereft of Clement's pagoda- and heading along the road to the north-eastern gate, passing various other closed shop fronts and a few larger buildings set away from the street behind walls and gardens.

The area outside the gate would be dark, illuminated solely by the lanterns flanking the gate, were it not for Ave's twin sunlight-radiating shields, the Sunpattern shield adding hypnotic spirals of brighter and dimmer focused light to the mix.

Clement doesn't seem to be here yet. Is he doing anything else to prepare?

Ave knows that in fairy tails, supernatural beings are usually more willing to play ball when presented with a gift. Maybe the same concept applies to spirits!

He finds an out-of-the-way spot and lays a Golden Egg, carefully polishing it to a brilliant shine before packing it away for later gift-giving. If Clement is still preparing, he'll see if he can give Sawyer and Artie a hand in preparing their wagon before they ship out.

Ave finds some privacy and goes through the uncomfortable business of laying a Golden Egg.
Man. That never gets any less weird.
Still, he ends up with his golden prize, and polishes it up before carefully stowing it for safekeeping.

He considers heading to the other town gate to help the lumberduo prepare for their own excursion to the Marchills, but is interrupted by a sudden shift in the ground nearby. A wooden spire erupts from the earth, followed by a small, elaborate wooden rooftop, which is shortly followed by another, larger one below it. In the space of seconds, Clement Fiora's fancy wooden pagoda rises up to its full height before Ave, earth cascading from the sloped eaves (and, he notices, being helped along by twisting, brushing leafy branches entwined in the architecture).

"Ah, I see you have completed your preparations in good time. I do hope I did not keep you waiting overlong." Clement's deep voice cuts through the earth-shower, his form visible as the torrent of dirt thins. "Before we are to set off, I would ask if you have any protections against spiritual or botanical maledictions. I feel we may encounter both in our excursion, and would be glad to provide such if you find yourself lacking in that regard."

Ave's eyebrows go up a bit at Clement's showy arrival. "Very neat pavilion, that. Would I be correct in assuming you've got some kind of spirit bound there?

Ave shows off his purchases. "I've got a few, but I'm certainly not going to turn down any additional help. What have you got?" he asks.

Clement gives another deep, rolling chuckle. "Not quite. Chelysede, greet our guest from another world."
The earth between the pavilion and Ave shifts and churns, rising into a huge mound as tall as the glittery-armoured man before it. Two outgrowths of earth split as huge, dark eyes open on either side of the mound. A rumbling, groaning sound, more felt than heard, rattles Ave's armour, a burst of dirt and wind from two large slits near its top covering him in a fine coating of dust.
"In more common parlance in the circles of those spiritually inclined, Chelysede is known as a 'Pagoda Turtle'. A fine companion, mode of transport and bodyguard in one. Unfortunately, few other Houses tend to favour their kind, often preferring airborne spirits to ferry them to their destinations."

Clement turns his gaze (at least, as far as Ave can tell) to the medicines purchased. "A fine selection indeed, and very sensible. If it would not be too much of an imposition, I would very much like to subject you to a brief scanning ritual in order to determine what might best support and strengthen that which you already have. Casting all of my protections would be considerably time-consuming, and it would be ill-advised to spend too much time and mana that might be put to better use elsewhere."

Ave puts out a hand to (cautiously) pat Chelysede on the nose. He grins. "I'm an open book, Clement of House Fiora, scan away."

Ave pats Chelysede gingerly, getting another bone-rattling rumble-snort in response.

"You have my thanks, Ave Selim of Nexus. This will take but a moment."
Clement's sleeve-draped hand traces a glowing circle in the air, lines and symbols written in light radiating out from it, shifting and flowing from moment to moment.

"Fascinating," he declares, hat moving slightly as he (presumably) takes in the information provided to him. "A measure of power directly over elements, and rare ones besides- I had little idea Wealth could be considered one- eternal youth, knowledge of entities known as 'Cthonians'... ah, some unfortunate curses, I see- perhaps after our work in these parts are done I could provide a measure of assistance on that front- and some considerably potent and intriguing pieces of equipment. I have no knowledge of this element of 'Tacky' or what it might represent, and for Chaos to be represented so prominently... truly, the world beyond House Clavis' Gate must contain knowledge and treasures one could scarcedly believe."

The circle fades into nothingness. Clement settles back in his seat.

"Your physical defenses are formidable indeed, and you are well-shielded against a number of maledictions, but I believe your spiritual protections are somewhat lacking. I will bestow upon you protections against spiritual assaults, as well as blessings to ward you against Spirits and enemies of a plant-based nature."
Traceries of light and sigils of energy flicker in the air around the seated, robed Spirit Tamer, and a palpable sense of pure, spiritual power suffuses the air as a concentric series of radiant magic circles surround Ave.

Ave's Arena-granted appraisal powers inform him that he's been hit with Improved Spiritual Bulwark (which seems to be one of a line of stronger versions of the Spiritual Shielding series of spells), Spirit-Warding Ritual (makes it harder for Spirits to approach or hit him), Spiritual Protection From Spirits (gives him a measure of Resistance against Spirits), Spiritual Protection From Plants (the same, but for Plants) and Spiritual Malediction-Catching Invocation (looks like it catches status effects and debuffs from Spirits, but loses effectiveness with each successful interdiction).

Ave shrugs, letting the curtain of spiritual magic settle over him.

"Indeed, The Nexus is fully of oddities from all the corners of all the universes out there. It's part megapolis, part pancosmic junk heap, depending on where you're looking. You may be amused to know that I'm almost certainly the *most* normal of my compatriots."

"And I think now is as good a time as any for this..." he says, shifting his weight, and through this, his essence. His skin dulls into cerulean granite flecked with gold as he shifts into his Golemic form.

"There. That's a another few things I won't have to worry about," he says, voice slightly hollow and flat.

He'll motion toward the road with a stony smile. "Onward, then?"

"Onward, indeed. Permit me but a moment to call upon a means of lighting our way. Dieflos, if you would?"
Clement flicks a sleeve, a small object falling to the ground and abruptly bursting into a fountain of light. Shining, thorny vines of white-gold radiance pierce from the ground, whirling up and around a central point that folds, grows and blossoms into a spherical mass of petals made of sunlight. The thorned light-vines encircling the sun-blossom pluck themselves from the ground and become a spinning, rolling cage containing the blooming mass of sunlight, lighting the surrounding area as brightly as the noonday sun.

Chelysede's head plunges back into the earth, the sod and soil closing back over it and smoothing over as if never disturbed in the first place. After a moment's pause, the wooden pagoda begins to glide forwards through the earth, along the path towards the treeline.
"We have a distance to travel before we approach Mola and the potential stalking-grounds of those that dwell within the Tower," Clement remarks, the sun-cage casting ripples of light and shadow over his form. "I would be interested in hearing more of The Nexus and those that dwell within. I return, I would be pleased to answer any questions you might have regarding our world and ways."

Ave clanks alongside the gracefully gliding pagoda.

"The Nexus is a big place, with more odd corners than there are stars in the sky. I've only explored a fraction of a fraction of it, in truth, but I'd be happy to share my experiences with you. The Nexus is made of a grand column of Discs centered around an Elevator that allows for travel between them. Each of these discs is an independent, unique environment. Some are as small as, say, a living room, while others bend space itself to stretch, impossibly distant, in all directions." Here he lists a few of the discs that he's visited, specifying the S.A.I.N.T Disc as well as the big one, Disc 1. "As for the denizens," he continues, "they're nearly as numerous and distinct as the Discs themselves. There are quite a few spirits, too, although I don't think many of them would take very kindly to being bound. No offense meant."

Ave asks about House Fiora, explaining that his only exposure so far to the Great Houses has been Clavia, whose nominal control of the Nexus Portal places them as the fortunate/unfortunate recipients of most of the weirdness coming from Nexus. He asks about this Seed Rain, and specifically if the other moons have corresponding phenomena, the Nightmare Moon notwithstanding (he was here for the festival! Time is just wibbly about that.)

"Fascinating," Clement repeats as Ave finishes his tales of Nexus. "I had suspected it to be a large place with a population of adventurers, from my limited information, but not large enough to be a million-tiered column of cities and lands as you describe. It would seem that I was correct to send my request for assistance regarding the Seed Rains there, even if none took up the offer."
The Spirit Tamer turns to regard the swiftly-approaching treeline.
"I would be most interested in hearing how the residents of the city protect themselves from the depredations of the spirits within. To say they would not take kindly to being bound would suggest they are allowed some measure of free rein, which would be unthinkable in our lands. The result would be disastrous, to say the least."

The duo (quartet, if the spirits' presence counts, perhaps) continue on in semi-silence for a few moments, the sound of flowing earth and Ave's clanking gait taking the fore.

"House Fiora," Clement begins, "has quite a lengthy history to it, much like many of the other Houses of the Order. While I do not believe we have time for a full recounting of its storied past, I believe I may be able to provide a summarised account.
"The House of Blossoms was, along with many of those Houses considered the Major Houses of the Order today, first founded some two millennia ago. The Great Tamer Falciem Luca, with his allies and students, had succeeded in sealing away Maltius, the Nightmare Moon, forcing it into a state of perpetual dormancy into the Dreaming Moon, as it is known today. Seeing how ravaged the world had become in the two centuries humanity had hidden away beneath the surface due to the moon's wrath, and seeing the beginnings of a new age of spiritual terror as the spirits kept at bay by Maltius' presence began to once again emerge from the Spirit World to conquer this one, the Great Tamer Falciem Luca turned to his students and gave each a duty to perform in order to restore the world and once again make it safe to live in. Each student gathered allies and followers beneath them, with these factions eventually becoming the basis of the first Great Houses of the Order.
One such student, Fiora Silvamus, was given the vital task of restoring plantlife to the barren and torn wastelands of the world, that its surface might once more become capable of supporting living beings. She began by..." he tails off. "...ah, but that would take far too long to relate. Suffice it to say, her skill with plants and control over botanical spirits allowed her, and those who followed her, to restore the world to its natural state.
"House Fiora or, as it came to be known, the House of Blossoms was, for the first few centuries of its existence, one of the Major Houses of the Order and arguably one of the most vital. Its presence was required in almost every corner of the world, at first to re-introduce plantlife to the land, and then to stablise it in order to ensure their growth would take and spread. Without them, the only parts of the world that might be considered habitable today would be those ancient underground settlements, or whatever lands might have been hit by the Seed Rains, assuming the fruits of such were capable of remaining alive once the Verdant Moon's season had passed. As the years wore on, however, the need for House Fiora's direct attention waned. The lands had begun to recover thanks to their efforts, and as the centuries passed, the number of regions requiring revitalisation dwindled. No longer being so vital to the world's wellbeing, the House of Blossoms slowly began to decline in power and influence."

Clement gives a wry, rolling chuckle.

"Many say it is quite ironic that the House fell from its lofty position among the Major Houses to becoming a Minor House due to doing their job too well, but it was inevitable, sooner or later. What possible alternative was there? Deliberately letting lands sicken and wither without their constant care in order to maintain their standing? While some might favour that mindset, I am considerably heartened that my ancestors weren't so mercenary in their outlook as to imperil the world for their own ambitions. Quite besides which, it is not as if the House is gone, or indeed likely to fade any further. We maintain lands and estates, small as some might be, in every corner of the world in which the Order has a presence. Our members are well-regarded as the most knowledgable and talented in the field of dealing with spirits and threats of a botanical persuasion, and on the rare occasions that the Seed Rains fall, it is House Fiora that is first and foremost in the efforts to mitigate its damage, unravel its mysteries and discover the wonders therein. I have little doubt that other members of my family have used the passing Seed Rains to gather a great deal of interesting items and spirits to study and benefit the House and all within its lands, even if much of my own efforts have thusfar been in vain."

The veils sway as the behatted head beneath shakes slowly.
"As for House Clavis..." Clement pauses. "...they are considerably diminshed from what they once were. Their founding dates back almost as far as House Fiora's, but they have declined in power and influence such that their only holdings are the lands you now stand in- the Clavia Province, and no more. In addition, much of their number are concerned more with the business of succession currently embroiling the upper ranks than the governing of their lands. In a way, this is fortunate for visitors such as yourself, as other Houses would likely keep a considerably closer eye and tighter rein on strangers from another world. I fear that it does not exactly provide the best impression of the Order as a whole, however."

The group passes through thick clumps of trees, several being nudged out of the way and sliding to the side at the Pagoda Turtle's approach and passage.
"Regarding the Seed Rains and the Moons... each of the four main moons that make their way across our skies have a number of phenomena tied to them. The Seed Rains are the most overt manifestation of Vernat, the Verdant Moon's power, bringing with it a rain of seeds that rapidly sprout into entire forests of plantlife, many with otherwordly properties that range from the miraculous to the catastropic. It has been known to bring spirits from the moon's surface with it, too, and even animate plant-entities that are dangerous in their own right. The vast majority of the resultant growth, particularly those with the most potent or esoteric powers, tend to die off after the Rains pass, or become confined to small areas clustered around sources of the moon's power, such as particularly large Moonstone deposits, or Tears of Vernat. The Rains are the rarest of Vernat's phenomena, falling only once every several decades at the least. More common phenomena include the Blessing of Vernat, in which the moon's light promotes rapid and plentiful plant growth within its season, and the Mists of Life, which bring with them healing pollen known to cure all manner of ills.
"The rising of Arden, the Blazing Moon, brings with it the summer months and the Season of Light, its most common phenomena- although I would state it is more a property of the moon itself. Its bright, flaming surface banishes the night and makes the daylight hours all the brighter. The Blessing of Arden comes in the form of brilliant, purifying rays of light- dangerous in concentration to living things, but items left to bathe in such intense beams are known to be purified of curses and gain the power to dispel, banish or otherwise ward off evil influences. The most overt phenomenon associated with the moon, however- one might say its analogue of the Seed Rains- is the Forgefall. During such an event, flaming chunks of metals- many of rare and unusual quality- erupt from the moon's surface and plunge towards our world's surface. It is, thankfully, just as rare as the Seed Rains, but is capable of laying waste to entire provinces where it lands. Recovery of the metals that fall there is frequently the first and most important priority for the House governing the lands, as they are frequently valuable enough to cover the costs of rebuilding any settlements that might have been damaged.
"Canta, the Singing Moon, heralds the fall and the coming of the winter months. The Singing Winds are a constant and well-known phenomenon during its reign, and are credited with the inspiration of many of the most famous songs known today. The Blessing of Canta is much like that of Arden, save for living things- at times, the songs of its winds combine into resonant harmonies capable of driving spiritual and mental maladies from those that hear them, expelling possessing spirits and blowing them far away. The most overt of its phenomena would be the Crystal Skyfall, in which the skies in which the moon drifts crystallise into vast, glittering sheets that dance and collide in the air, high above. On occasion, collisions have been known to scatter moonstones and jewels to the world's surface, where they can fall as lightly as powder snow or with the dreadful force of a hurricane-driven hailstorm, according to the wind's whims.
"Cintho, the Aqueous Moon, brings winter and the coming of Spring. It is well-known for snows and rains it brings within its season, and its Blessing purifies water that reflects its light. The Changing Tides are one of the more unusual phenomena attributed to the moons, with items and even living things caught in its waves known to be changed in form and function, albeit limited solely to coastal areas. Its most overt phenomenon, however, would be Cintho's Lament, which brings vast torrents of water, crushing rains and unusual aquatic life with its coming, the majority of which are unable to live beyond the Lament's duration."

Clement pauses for a few moments and then nods, as if satisfied with his explanation.
"As I have already mentioned, I know little of Nexus beyond what you have already told me. How is it that the portal between our worlds came to be? Do many plan to venture forth from your city to visit our world?"

[Modrageball]

Ave listens to Clement relate the histories of the Houses and explain the major Lunar phenomena, absorbing the information like a bedazzled sponge.

"You'd be surprised, I wager," Ave says, "To hear that in Nexus, and in at least some of the worlds beyond it, the number of autonomous spirits living freely among cosmopolitan populations outnumber the amount of spirits bound to items or tasks. I can name at least one of my number, the uh, Battle Arena Members, who is one such spirit."

He pauses.

"Draconic fellow. I haven't worked with him personally, but from what I've heard, he's more concerned with creating new recipes and serving noodles to people than causing any disasters."

"As for the portal," Ave continues, "I wish I could tell you. They seem to pop on their own. And hoo boy, there are plenty of us who have either already skipped across the Portal to Seirei or are planning to soon. When a "new" world connects to the Nexus, it represents an...untapped frontier for us. I mean that with all possible respect. Most members of the Battle Arena are slaves to novelty, and the prospect of new horizons, the possibilities for new adventures, glories, and material wealth are more than enough to convince us that Seirei is worth a visit."

"Somewhat concerning," Clement begins, "although I suppose the possibility exists that spirits may exhibit different behaviours in other worlds. I would be remiss in my duties not to caution you with regards to consorting with them, however, or at the very least to ask you not to assume that the spirits that inhabit this world are like those you have encountered elsewhere. Too many tales have been told of men and women taken in by the words and actions of supposedly benevolent spirits, only to meet their deaths- or worse- at their hands."

He gives a wry chuckle at Ave's mention of the Arena Members' likely designs on Seirei, although little humour can be heard behind it. "It would seem that House Clavis' plans have already been taken up by a great many from the other side, then. For those that know of the portal, it is hardly a secret that the House claiming control over it had plans to plumb its depths for glories, treasures and wealth themselves. The more I hear of Nexus, however, the more I feel like House Clavis may be stepping into a rather more complicated and dangerous situation than they anticipated."

Ave grins at that. "Complicated, yes. Dangerous? For sure. But absolutely coruscating with opportunity for those bold enough to reach out their fist for it. And I'll keep myself on my toes around the spirits here, never you mind. Hey, maybe we can find some useful and interesting samples for you on our little jaunt, eh?"

Clement laughs again, this time with more abashed tone.
"I will admit that the thought had crossed my mind more times than I would care to recall," the Tamer gestures at the floating, glowing thornball and wooden Pagoda Turtle. "While I have no complaints at all about my present companions, I had hoped to spend some time during the Seed Rains as my fellow House members did, locating and acquiring rare plant-spirits to tame, study and further our knowledge of the phenomenon and its attendant dangers. Sadly, my knowledge and services in controlling plantlife were required to help keep the city of Clavia safe for the entire duration of the storm. For that, I even set aside my own personal goal of trying to locate a seed of the Videlect Tree during the course of the Rains."
The Spirit Tamer sighs.
"I harbour some regrets about that. That seed could well help safeguard a great many people should the worst happen, but I could hardly weigh a future possibility against the immediate needs of so many people when I was in a position to help them. Your offer, however, is greatly appreciated. While I do not consider acquiring new spirits or examples of plantlife to be anywhere approaching the primary goal of this excursion, should we find ourselves in a position to secure such during the course of it, I would be very pleased. That is, of course, so long as it doesn't endanger--"

The rolling cage of light-thorns flashes brightly, scattering a number of glowing, shining petals into the air around it. Whirling as if acting as a planetarium in miniature, the points of light coverge in three places before rapidly accelerating outward to illuminate three different sections of the surrounding thick, tree-filled undergrowth.

Revealed in the sudden burst of light are three entities.
The first is a female, humanoid figure in an oddly-large, bustled purple dress cut to reveal her white, shoeless, stocking-clad legs. Her torso is bizarrely thin and elongated, her head almost completely obscured by a heart-shaped purple hat, her face smooth, white as her legs and set in an expression of sympathetic pain. She holds a lyre made of supple, woven plant-stalks, sprouting clusters of purple flowers.
The second is a large stag that appears to have been grown from some sort of ebony wood. Its antlers end in wickedly sharp points.
The third is a short figure in a green leaf-cloak and robes with a large bag at its side. Beneath its hood, instead of a face is a smooth, flat-green surface with two deep holes somewhat approximating eyes bored into it.


"Chelysede! Stop the Sato from growing reinforcements! Dieflos! Blind them!"
A bone-shaking rumble-snort and flare of light answer Clement's sudden commands, the ground around the short figure abruptly tearing itself to pieces and erupting with snaking, entangling roots. The small figure proves to be more nimble than it looks, however, and leaps through the snaking cage of gnarled wood before it has time to close on it, scattering seeds from its pouch as it does so.
A constellation of radiant petals billow forth from the thorn-caged light-flower, bursting into secondary flares of eye-searing light bright enough to cause even Ave's golemnic eyes pain through the tacky, blingy sunglasses he's wearing. The trio of opposing spirits(?) appear to be worse off, however, having had their heads practically encased in sun-bright clusters of petals that light up the surrounding forest like midday.

The female figure adjusts its lyre and raises a hand to strum it, but a sudden flurry of radiant energy-waves arrest the motion, clinging bonds of light and spiritual energy manifesting one after another from Clement's outstretched arm. Whatever it was she was trying to do seems to have been resolutely cancelled.

The stag looks like it's preparing to charge into the group despite being blinded. Ave's up!

Why, Ave rushes to meet the charging stag! What else? He has a shield strapped to each arm, roaring as he thunders across the undergrowth to intercept the cervine menace.

He throws his weight in a shoulder-first blow, attempting to catch the stag under the antlers, across the neck, slamming it either into the ground or overhead, depending on the course of momentum.

Overrun- (Technique Ability, Gigas Knight) Possessor may use 'Overrun' in conjunction with a 'Melee Attack', 'Melee Overdrive', or 'Powerful Attack' action if possessor is wearing a Grand Armor and no other technique is used. Said action's normal hits are replaced with said action hitting one individual in the front row and one in the back row (with additional hits being unable to be added to the action), with said action having a 75% chance of inflicting Fatigued: Prone on the front-row target and dealing 3/4 (instead of 1/2) Damage to the back-row target.

Improved Overrun- (Passive Ability, Gigas Knight) Actions involving possessor's 'Overrun' technique may not be countered by individuals below Level 20, and said actions gain a 30% chance of inflicting Fatigued: Stun.

Bling-man meets stag-thing in a headlong charge, the former throwing his weight against the latter in a valiant attempt to overpower it and crush it beneath his feet!
It would seem, however, that the two are equally matched in momentum in this instance. Shields meet antlers with force, sending tremors up Ave's newly-golemnic arms and dealing him minor damage with the impact. The sound of overstressed and cracking wood from his opponent suggests that it didn't get out of that collision unscathed, either. Scraping, screeching sounds follow as the head attached to the antlers begins to twist erratically one way, then another, the sharp ebony outgrowths scratching against the flashy bulwark Ave holds.

A familiar rumble-snort heralds the forest floor twisting and wrenching upwards, sending Ave stumbling forwards. Fortunately, his footing recovers quickly enough to readjust his weight against the twisting, thrashing stag before him. A rush of movement catches his attention, allowing Ave to witness the spectacle of the massive web-network of the entire area's root network tearing itself from the ground, knotting into thick, gnarled strands, and twisting around with speed far greater than any plant has the right to move, summarily swatting, and then crushing the little leaf-cloaked spirit into a grinding mass of fibrous, flailing root-tendrils. The shoots from the seeds it had sown vanish into the violently-pitching mass along with their creator.

The female figure loses its footing, reeling backwards from the sudden rootquake, desperately plucking at its lyre. Once again, Clement sends forth clinging bonds of light and spiritual energy, preventing whatever it was trying to do from coming to pass.

"Dieflos! Assist our companion!"

The light-cage of thorns around the spherical sun-blossom unspool and lash out with blinding (both figurative and literal) speed, sharply twisting around Ave at odd angles and ripping into the stag like angry, white-hot whips made of barbed wire. Deep, charred gashes are torn into the thing's form as it continues to thrash against Ave's dual-shield blockade.

Ave's up again before whatever the stag tries!

[UNIVERSAL EXISTENCE FAILURE]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ave abruptly comes back to his senses, having been somewhere where 'where' didn't exist, nor 'what', nor 'how', nor any other descriptor or, indeed, even the concept of descriptors.
Was he really there? Did it really happen? Was whatever identified itself as him actually him?

What is identity, anyway? He remembers having a talk with his great-uncle about that. About how you can be yourself, yet also someone else at the same time, depending on a variety of circumstances.

...oh, yes.

So he is.

He's Ave, but he's also Nelson Monterro, The Dividing Line of Night and Slumber. How did he manage to forget about that?


Ave gets:

Somewhere far off, in Nexus, Eva wakes up with a splitting headache and no recollection of what might have caused it. Maybe she should try using that method her great-uncle taught her as a cure.

...her great-uncle. Of course! How could she forget? About him, and about who else she is?



Eva gets:

Is Also Azalee Montero, The Dancing Grimness of Abyssal Silver- (Passive Ability, Enigma Man) Possessor may choose for their name to be changed to 'Azalee Montero, The Dancing Grimness of Abyssal Silver' at the start of each thread, possessor may choose to have their name also count as being 'Azalee Montero, The Dancing Grimness of Abyssal Silver' in addition to any other names they may possess

-------------------

Ave stumbles forward as he glitches, catching himself on his hands and pulling himself back to his feet. He blinks. Every sensation feels suddenly alien- the creaking of the trees above-- the feel of wind on his skin through the slits in his Grand Armor. He feels suddenly and momentarily claustrophobic. In times like this, he remembers, his Great-Uncle would remind him to count and breath. He does that.

He takes in the situation. The stag-spirit had been charging him. Clement Fiora had been engaged in battling the "Sato"- the plant spirit woman? What's happening? Is he about to get a face-full of giant spirit deer?

[Aeromage]

Ave stumbles forward, glitch-sputters juddering off him. He blinks. He breathes. He recalls what his Great-Uncle told him when he was Nelson Monterro, the Dividing Line of Night and Slumber.

He also remembers how he got that title, and is forced to put it into effect rather abruptly as a furiously glitching, crumbling, vaguely deer-shaped thing careens towards his face.

He brings up his shield, moves it between the angles of night and threads of consciousness, and draws the line. Before his shield stands deepest night. Behind it, the dreams therein. In that liminal moment between waking and sleep, everything stands separate for that one instant, the long drop before the impact.

He gains/regains:

Signature Monterro Art: Division of Dusk and Dreams- (Technique Ability, Defender) Possessor may use Signature Monterro Art: Division of Dusk and Dreams in conjunction with a Defend action, so long as no other technique is used and a Shield is equipped. Said action creates a linked Chronogeomantic Zone of Dusk and Zone of Dusk and a separate linked pair of a Chronogeomantic Zone of Night and Zone of Dream, with possessor choosing one pair to contain all entities in possessor's side of battle and the other pair to contain all entities on the opposing side of battle. From the end of that action to the beginning of Possessor's first action on the next round, provided that no opponent or unwilling ally of possessor in any battle currently active in the thread is more than 20 Levels above possessor's Level, no entity on one side of battle may target, affect or be affected by entities on the other side of battle, with effects with either side of battle as their source being similarly restricted, and all entities prevented from acting due to instances of Fatigued or Voidstruck (including sub-status effects), due to (Darkness, Dusk or Dream)-element effects or items, or due to abilities from (Darkness, Dream or Dusk-element) classes instead being able to act normally during this period, this ability may only be used once every 3 rounds, to a maximum of (Possessor's Level/20, rounded up) times per thread, possessor's name must be 'Nelson Monterro, The Dividing Line of Night and Slumber' to use this ability, possessor may treat this ability as being an Enigmatic Stranger and/or Hollow Man ability, including for prerequisite purposes


The spirit-deer impacts the Dividing Line of Night and Slumber (the conceptual boundary, not the person, who Ave recalls he is- the person, that is, not the conceptual boundary. Maybe?) and puffs into ash.
Casting about to check on his adventuring companion and his opponents, Ave sees that the Sato appears to have suffered some sort of unpleasant Critical Existence Failure that somehow turned it into a tumbling shower of buzzing cube-chunks, and the fancily-purple-dress-clad female spirit(?) looks to have vanished entirely, with the only evidence she was ever there being her lyre, which is currently hovering a few inches off the ground and glitch-inverting both in position and colour at erratic intervals.

"...what in the world just happened?" Clement's alarmed voice issues from beneath his veils, the man half-rising from his seat on his Pagoda Turtle.

[Pathaky]

"I couldn't begin to tell you", Ave says, itching his ear under his helmet. "For a moment I felt like I was everywhere and... nowhere. Still coming back to myself. I think. Feel strange. Are you alright?" He lowers his shield and begins to lumber over to the Spirit Tamer.

Someone clears their throat. "Please, Master Nelson, allow me."

A new figure, stepping out as if from Ave's shadow, rushes to the Spirit Tamer's side, tray of refreshments in hand.

The newcomer is a woman with skin of silvery-white metal that catches the light with a golden glow. She has the air of a conscientious maid. She's averted her eyes, respectfully, as she offers a tray of drinks and canapes to Clement Fiora.

Orihalcum-Chan has been here the whole time!

[Aeromage]

(Ori-chan has a Bladecane as an Accessory there, which appears to be due to a mislabelling mishap in Vrishni's inventory! It's a Weapon in the Shop, though. Might want to swap it out for something else)

Orihalcum-Chan has, of course, been here the whole time, being in the shadow of her Monterro master. Who has, of course, always been Nelson Monterro from the very beginning of this little excursion. She's just been quiet and unobtrusive, as proper maids are professionally capable of being.
Absolutely nothing is wrong or abnormal about this state of affairs!

"Ah, thank you, but I'll refrain for now, Miss..." Clement pauses somewhat awkwardly. "...do forgive me, but your name appears to have slipped my mind in all the excitement and whatever that event might have been. I find myself somewhat unsettled as a result."

The Pagoda Turtle gives a rumbling whine of agreement, and the Spirit Tamer pats the arm of the fancy chair as if trying to comfort it by proxy. Given the chair looks like it might actually be growing straight out of the 'floor' of the pagoda, which is in turn part of the turtle's shell, perhaps it is the same as patting the turtle itself. Flickering symbols Ave recognises as Clement's scanning ritual wink into being before Ave, Orihalcum-Chan and Clement himself.

"I do not believe I have suffered any ill effects apart from mild disorientation and concern, but I shall renew our spiritual wardings regardless. It appears that yours have lapsed entirely as a result of whatever that was," he adds as he addresses the maid that was definitely always traveling with them.

Once again, he applies Spiritual Bulwark (the stronger version of the Spiritual Shielding series of spells), Spirit-Warding Ritual (makes it harder for Spirits to approach or hit possessor), Spiritual Protection From Spirits (increased Resistance against Spirits), Spiritual Protection From Plants (the same, but for Plants) and Spiritual Malediction-Catching Invocation (catches status effects and debuffs from Spirits, but loses effectiveness with each successful interdiction).

[Pathaky]

"You are too kind, Master Clement. Please, do not worry yourself overmuch on my behalf," Ori says, curtsying. "We must continue onward to Mola. The people there are doubtless anxious to be relieved."

Ave nods. The presence of the maid doesn't seem to bother him at all. "Orihalcum's right. If we're alright, we should continue."

He's going to take point. Ori's going to be keeping her own Divination network thrumming, working in concert with her Adept Channeling to feel out any new or dangerous presences that might be sneaking toward them.
