Geminid Where's Tilluel go?

• Tilluel at first just heads out into the sunshine with her craft service spoils

Tilluel waning sunlight probably

Tilluel She decides to go to the flora temple for her soil needs today

Geminid You find Julia rushing to catch up with you as you go. "Tilluel!"

• Tilluel turns and smiles when she sees Julia

Tilluel "Hello, Julia."

Geminid "Hi!" she smiles brightly. "Where ya headed?"

Tilluel "I was going to visit the Flora temple."

Tilluel "They have wonderfully rich soil there."

Geminid She smiles oddly, "Oh, I see. Wanna share a cab part of the way, then?"

Tilluel "Where are you headed?"

Geminid "My place is in El Dimeo, but I Gravitas is on my way."

Tilluel "All right. I'd like that."

Tilluel she smiles warmly and walks with Julia

Geminid Julia smiles back, "So how did you end up in pictures, Tilluel?"

Tilluel "Honest Eddie picked up Alice and I in a cab four days ago."

Geminid She pauses, then realizes that's your answer, "What, he just randomly picked you both out of all the people in the ctiy?"

Tilluel "I suppose so. We came to the auditions."

Tilluel "How did you get started?"

Tilluel she asks with interest

Geminid "My friend and I went to the big casting contest, and I got picked when we all tried to get in on Mr. Ipanym's film."

Tilluel "Did your friend get picked up as well?"

Geminid "No, but her brother is the stuntman."

Tilluel "Oh. Gabe! He's so nice. He helped me learn a script at the audition."

Geminid She smiles, "He /is/ nice. And he has such a pretty name."

• Tilluel smiles

Geminid She waves for a cab, and one pulls up. The driver is Agikaani, one of the most hated ethnicities in the city. They all seem to drive cabs.

Geminid Julia gets in.

• Tilluel gets in the other side and settles herself in the seat

Geminid "Where to?" he asks in a thick accent.

• Tilluel lets Julia do the talking

Geminid She says, "Arbor Tree Temple, first."

Tilluel "Thank you." she adds

Geminid He nods and starts driving. "May I ask you fine ladies," he begins in thickly accented Ienovan, "How you feel about the 'kaanis of the city?"

Tilluel "What is a ka--anis?"

Geminid Juilia says, "He means Agikaanis."

Geminid The driver says, "My people, miss."

Tilluel "Oh! Well the Agikaanis are a vital part of this city." She goes off into a short but informative blurb about the importance of different cultures in the city.

Tilluel and its' history

Geminid Julia stares a moment, surprised, and the driver says, "Oh, you are very good, miss! Yes, we are a vital part of the city! We appreciate your support in these trying times. Could we convince you to make a small but useful donation to our cause?"

• Tilluel smiles. "Of course. I know how it is to raise for a cause." She'll remove one of her few coins from working with Alice and hands it to him.

Geminid He takes it, "Many thank yous. We are always appreciative of those who support our cause. Power through purity, miss."

Geminid Julia frowns.

• Tilluel frowns, slightly confused by the last statement but she lets it go and nods, sitting back again

Geminid He stops at the temple, and Julia says, "I'll cover the price. Have a good time, Tilluel."

Tilluel "Oh. Thank you Julia! Have a good evening." she smiles widely and then turns to climb out of the cab

Geminid The cab takes off.

Geminid You're in front of the green flora temple.

• Tilluel walks inside

Geminid Wamrth and moisture greets you.

Geminid A man in green robes smiles, "Miss Tilluel."

• Tilluel smiles and bows slightly. "Father." (not sure of the proper address for a flora priest)

Geminid father is fine.

Geminid "I have been told to give you a message from the Grove."

Tilluel "Oh?!" she looks up, excited and hopeful

Tilluel "Is it from Maraldarband? Or my mother?"

Geminid "From Feles."

Tilluel "Yes?" she's slightly disapointed but still hopeful

Geminid "'The words spoke your name and hers. Be wary of the night time, and trust not the contracted one. Your essence is contained within the aflamed crown, bought and paid for in dark dealings untold. The next Age belongs to you.'"

• Tilluel 's hope is washed away from her face and confusion and dissapointment is all that's left behind. "Do you have any idea what that message means? When did she leave it? Did she tell you anything else?"

Geminid "She left it yesterday. I don't know anything more, I'm afraid.

Geminid "

• Tilluel asks him to repeat it so she can be sure to commit it to memory

Tilluel do you want me to roll?

Geminid No, you can remember it

Tilluel "May I use the soil in the temple before I go?"

Geminid "Of course," he bows

• Tilluel bows as well and then enters, quickly dipping her feet deep into the dark earth inside

Tilluel She stands still, troubled and frowning, thinking on the message

Geminid It feels good, warm, soothing

• Tilluel relaxes slightly as that feeling takes over. Her frown fades to almost gone and she sinks her feet a little deeper into the soil

Geminid How long's she relax here?

Tilluel After a slightly longer than usual time she reluctantly draws her feet out and glancing around the temple at the priests she moves to leave.

Geminid They pay her no mind unless she says or does something special. Where to?

Tilluel After exiting the temple she walks down towards a nearby Alice hidey-hole but part way there she changes her mind and instead heads back to lot 42

Tilluel (did Feles talk in riddles at other times? or does this seem an abnormally cryptic message?)

Geminid She only spoke in riddles during religious ecstacies.

Tilluel Can I ask the priest about the delivery of her message before i leave?

Tilluel sorry, I shoulda asked earlier but it just occured to me

Tilluel "Was she in the arms of our Mother when she spoke these words to you?"

Geminid "She appeared to be, yes."

Geminid After a moment's consideration, he says the above.

Tilluel "Thank you."

Tilluel all right then she heads to Aurdog's Lot 42

Geminid Once on the studio grounds, she hears something flying above. Something huge.

• Tilluel looks up, crouching instinctively

Geminid A one winged angel swoops over the grounds, carrying a dripping, rusty scythe. Every detail of this monstrosity is visible to you, despite the darkness, until it is well beyond your visual range. The ground where it flew over looks deader than usual.

• Tilluel 's eyes widen as they follow it across the sky. After a long pause she goes to inspect the ground

Geminid It's dust now.

• Tilluel tries to restore some life to the wasted path he left. Focusing on say 10ft behind and ahead of her.

Tilluel Walker of the Path: a kind man with considerable talent and an eye for beauty $

Geminid You glow green, and flora returns to the patch of savanna here

• Tilluel relaxes slightly as some fear leaves her but she still frowns, looking out toward the path of remaining dried land

Tilluel For now she continues on to the studio

Geminid It's dark, empty but for a few late night workers and security men

• Tilluel enters Lot 42 and looks for Geminid

Geminid He's perched on the mast of a ship.

Tilluel also what should I roll to recognise the monster?

Geminid Best assumption: demon.

• Tilluel looks up at Geminid and assuming he doesn't look asleep or 'shut down' she calls softly to him. "Geminid? May we talk again?"
• Geminid approaches, "Greetings. This unit may talk."

Tilluel "Thank you. I had an odd evening and I've been left with a lot of questions. You seem to know so much."

Tilluel "I saw this strange thing flying over the savanna. It had one wing and a scythe and it destroyed the land it flew over. It was-- terrifying. I think it must be a demon. What could it be doing here?"

• Tilluel sits as she talks, frowning as she recalls the recent event

Geminid "Description matches: Father of Famine. Two dead Champions of Famine. Fallen Angel of Famine."

• Tilluel frowns. "I don't think it was a God. I hope not anyway."

Geminid "Fallen Angel, then. Very powerful. Do not interact with it."

Tilluel "Do you know Feles?"

Geminid "Dryad of the park. Ancient priestess of El Arbol. Connected to the Roots."

Tilluel "The Roots? Of the Grove?"

Geminid He nods.

Tilluel "She has-- Sometimes she speaks oddly when she's being touched by our goddess. They're like strange mixed up messages. She had one for me yesterday."

Tilluel "Do you know about any aflamed crowns?"

Geminid "Many legends."

Tilluel "There are many flamed crowns or many legends about one crown?"

Geminid "Many legends of different aflamed crowns."

Tilluel "Oh." she sounds dissapointed and her shoulders sag slightly. "She said my essence was contained in one that was bought with 'dark dealings'. It sounds awful."

• Geminid nods. "Not enough information."
• Tilluel smiles slightly. "That's all right. Thanks for letting me talk about it. It helps me think about things." she smiles ruefully. "I have to find a ring and a crown with my soul inside. I don't even know where to start."

Tilluel "Goodnight Geminid."

• Geminid nods, "A pleasant nocturality to you, Tilluel."

Geminid You go to sleep?

Tilluel She nods and heads off to bed
