EVENT: ORIGIN'S ORIGINS

[fairwind]

Who: explorers!
When: Day 31, night
Where: The Jungle

[The sun has gone down when the heroes receive an unmarked message:

This Star has secrets you should know. If you want to find them, follow the light.

Should they look outside, they will in fact see a light -- a thin but bright pillar rising from the overgrown town out in the jungle.

It's still raining, still covered in frogs, but there's definitely something going on.

And in the direction of the beach, there's also a faint, bell-like ringing. But that's not what's calling you right now... is it?]

[voreaciously]

Oh, Hazel-han.

[rottedwood]

[nods a greeting.]

[voreaciously]

I take it we have not yet found it.

[what he is looking for, she means.]

[rottedwood]

[a sigh and another nod.]

Maybe next round.

[voreaciously]

Yes, it is still early.

[rottedwood]

Just gotta keep looking.

[voreaciously]

Might I ask what it is you seek? If it is innocuous, it may be overlooked, or worse, perhaps destroyed entirely accidentally during investigation.

[rottedwood]

It's flashy.

[voreaciously]

It is not an electronic of some kind, is it?

[rottedwood]

[????]

No. I'm not kidding around here.

[voreaciously]

[She withholds a sigh, easily.]

I did not believe you were, however, it is difficult with lacking context. I will simply take you at your word.

[not like she has a choice]

[rottedwood]

[huffs his own sigh.]

Keep an eye out for feathers, if you can.

[voreaciously]

"Flashy" and feathers. Very well, I shall do so, Hazel-han.

2/2

[voreaciously]

You are not nobility or royalty in your own right are you?

Re: 2/2

[rottedwood]

Do I look like royalty to you?

[voreaciously]

I do not care to make assumptions at times, sir.

[rottedwood]

I have a title, but I earned it. Cut it out with the "sir" stuff, though.

[voreaciously]

Oh, what is it?

[rottedwood]

[waves a hand]

If I tell you that you're just gonna use it. I already told you my name.

[voreaciously]

Yes, I am aware you exercised a most basic courtesy.

[do you want her to applaud you.









sir.]

At any rate, if you earned it, what, pray tell, is the issue? You were not born to it, you proved yourself worthy on your merit. Why not divulge and collect your due?

[rottedwood]

'Cause I want you to call me by my name.

[voreaciously]

Well, if your title would preclude my using a name, I would be, but I have a feeling that I have been inadequate.

[rottedwood]

[just looks at her like ??????]

[voreaciously]

Do people call you "Lord Hazel"?

[rottedwood]

[...

yeah no he's just

walking away]
