Turn 32 BeginsThis suggests we are not the only ones performing an operation here. This is concerning.
Check the security screens for anything of interest.
OP-TR is as alarmed as a robot can be. The octopode droid leaps up onto one of the consoles and begins fiddling with the cameras.
PM'd."Interesting book."
Feel it. Mana Sensing, and any magics. It is wood based. Or is it animal based?
"Hey Jack, this does seem to be a Magical book. I can sense it.
Can I read it"?
Jack sits unresponsive as Mana inquires about the strange book. He puts up no resistance when the spirit pulls it from his hands and begins to flip through it, though.
[3+2]Mana senses important snippets of information from the wordless book.
PM'd."Anthony, I think Anuvo suspects we're not simple guests. He's the purple one. I...saw his molecules, like a hawk sees ants. His body is constantly shifting, like its made of billions of separate microorganisms working together."
"I think your note idea might work. If we send just the right message to pique his interest, appeal to his ego and sense of pride, we might be able to secure an audience. Your thoughts?"
Kick back and relax... I'm not a great negotiator, but I know my way around a sword. If a bodyguard goes poking around, it might raise too much suspicion.
"I don't think we need to flower it up much. something simple, but not necessarily direct. 'Your lady longs for your presence. Her heart beats twice as fast when thinking of you." Eh, that wold probably be easy enough for the other guy to figure out if the message were intercepted. Maybe something like 'To the handsome man in purple. Come have a drink. Maybe make it a double?" Ugh. That's just awful. "I am quite envious, you handsome devil. All the Ladies can't keep their eyes off you. They're practically falling over themselves racing to throw themselves at your feet, each offering wilder promises than the one before. I can't get any satisfaction.
I don't know, I'm just a body tinkerer, not a codesmith."
While the doctor and the hobbit strategize, Osmond does his best to seem casual yet alert. The hobbit decides to write a letter and hand it off to the next usher that passes by- he keeps it rather simple, just a request for a brief audience with "the elfin fellow". An attendant soon takes it from his hand and briskly delivers it to Azirkan's box. Anuvo is handed the letter. After a moment of painfully quiet consideration, he looks up from the letter to make direct eye contact with Nix again. Wordlessly, Keta gestures toward the nearest exit while eyeing Nix. He finishes this wordless communication with two raised fingers and a mouthed word- "minutes".
The meeting is arranged. How do they want to approach this?As all this is transpiring, it would seem that Act I of the
Tragedy of Etherea is soon to begin. Azirkan should be taking a seat in the box any moment now.
