I take her hand in my own.
"I am Corporal Aylia of Her Majesty's Omega Legion, and I serve in whatever capacity I am needed to serve by the Omega Legion. If you want to help me in the short term, right now I'm simply trying to make sure everyone in this area is doing well, and the only source of distress that is concerning is scattered roudy kids we're trying to return to their mother. If you want to help, you could help us find them and bring them back to their mom unharmed. The Eye can guide you."
I let go and take a single step back, tilt my head, and give her a small smile.
"It's what I'm doing right now myself."
For Oz's convienence, I'm reposting my action from earlier because it probably was hidden in this flood of posts:
I resume the PlantBaby hunt, using my new sense to guide me to them, and attempting (but not getting worked up over if it fails) to turn invis when I'm on my final approach towards the targets.
also please note:
I was out of earshot for most of the conversation, but upon hearing that last claim of deity relationship, I ask the Eye "Eye, can Omega HQ verify Noir's claims about her family?"
>"Inquiry filed."
thanks for the repost. Let's see ... You feel a light brush against a leafy arm, and then another, and a third and fourth. you lead four plantbabies back to plantpoppa. their touch tingles, and you feel a clear, bright sensation travel through your body.
the Eye sends the request and receives:
>Gee, let me look here in my Big Book of Random Encounters and Special Children of All Known and Unknown Deities From Everywhere. I'm totally sure that, without either seeing, nor testing, nor in any way interacting with this complete stranger in a nother part of the continent, that I can reliably and without question tell you her entire lineage, abilities, and favorite flavor sweetmeat. What's this? unknown Entry? Inconceiveable! The Powers That Be will hear of this! I swear it!Someone seems a little cranky today.
"How disappointing."
Continue fiddling while keeping an eye on the new person.
You switch it up to some death metal, and make plantbabies cry. The plant poppa gives you a stern, disapproving bug-eye.
Follow Noir, keeping track of her. At some point, step out in front of her and begin speaking.
Edit:Dar ended up riding around on Noir's shoulders. He's keeping watch on her, but mostly he's just enjoying having a mobile resting place.
Noir, while searching for the invisible leafbabies, is interrupted by a scruffy black cat which stands squarely in her path. It speaks, with an adorable tilt of its head "This one is curious. What is it?"
Okay.
Noir nods
Begin the hunt for the baby things use my charm magic to get particularly stubborn ones to follow.
I mean, the only ones left out are the particularly stubborn ones, so let's just cast that charm magic all over the place. And it works, too. there are now 99 plantbabies arranged in neat little semicircular rows in front of plantparent, and one plantbaby on the Eye's head. I'm just going to assume the eye floats down to attempt to dislodge plantbaby. but as soon as he crosses itno the space provided for the plantbaby, the whole group straightens, leans sunward, and sings loudly, leaves broadening, eyes shining, and sparkles emitting. Plantparent stands erect, and blossoms. this lasts until sunset, at which point, all the plants sort of curl up on themselves and close down for the night.
And immediately a voice from the edge of the forest calls out "If you will follow me?"
