[7:39 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: === Start RP === Kiera was not happy about the whole situation with Fia and Mars. She had hoped that he was better, but really couldn't be certain. At a nearby creek, she was washing off her feet, weapons, and boots while restoring her water skin that she cared about so much. Otherwise, all she could think about was daydreaming, or playing with toys, or... drinking. Anything to entertain her at this point to get away from this mess.

[7:43 PM] gonig: Gracie slowly makes her way toward the river, rubbing gently at the slightly-cleared ring on her finger. She began to see the remnant of some sort of gem—but the adventurer could not tell what sort. She glances as she enters the river, noticing Kiera. “...ah, hello. I did not see you... I don’t believe we’ve met, have we?”(edited)

[8:33 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: Kiera turns back after squeezing the water out of one of her headbands. "Oh, I don't reckon so. But you're... you're in the company, right?"

[11:14 PM] gonig: Gracie slips into the creek, giving a small nod. "That is right. My name is Gracie. It's nice to finally talk to you, miss...?"

[11:16 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Kiera," she said with a nod. "Gracie, nice to meet ya!"

[2:41 PM] gonig: "It is good to meet you as well, Kiera." She sits in the water for a while before continuing. "How have you been faring through all this? All the marching gets tiring, sometimes."

[2:43 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Uh.... have ya heard 'bout the latest news with Mars and Sally and I?"

[2:49 PM] gonig: Gracie's brow raises, and she shakes her head. "I am afraid not--I only know that you added some interesting items to our stockpile. What happened?"

[3:00 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "There was a woman who claimed t've lived in the broken down town over there, but we started gettin' suspicious and she attacked us. Mars got hit in his head with... stuff, I can't remember, but he's unconscious..."

[3:01 PM] gonig: "Oh? Mars is one of our... casters, right? I've seen him around. I believe I also saw him being dragged in."

[3:03 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Yeh, he's one of 'em magical guys. And uh, that was me carryin' him back."

[3:16 PM] gonig: “Oh! You did a very good job at that,” Gracie smiles.

[3:17 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Thanks! I mean, I'd want someone to bring me back to... to the medic tent, y'know..."

[4:15 PM] gonig: She gives a small nod. “That’s sensible. Did you suffer any wounds yourself from this woman?”

[9:34 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "I got kicked and feel down, but otherwise, I was lucky, I imagine," she shrugs.

[2:45 AM] gonig: "You... 'feel down'?"

[11:03 AM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Ugh... fell down, sorry. Can't talk well, if ya couldn't notice."

[6:42 PM] gonig: "Oh. My mistake. May I ask why you can't talk well?"

[7:15 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "I didn't get to've really much schoolin'. The elders taught me some, but I guess the one teacher I got didn't enforce us to learn letters and all too well. So I don't know how to read, or write. Or talk right... but I can do math!"

[10:10 PM] gonig: "Oh?" Gracie tilts her head. "If you didn't get much teaching, how well can you do math?”(edited)

January 22, 2018

[2:14 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "I can add, subtract, count... divide, multiply... an uh... a little bit of algebra? Like, if, er, three equals seven plus somethin', then somethin' means negative three. Right?"(edited)

[2:20 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "... real basic algebra, anyhow."

[3:15 PM] gonig: “Hmm. That’s interesting. I’m a bit similar—my mother has taught me a lot of concepts, but I don’t apply them much. She also taught me how to read properly, though she was always much better than my father. Where are you from?”

[4:09 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "I'm from Northern Ramalia," she answers, then tilts her head, "Say, where are you from? You... you don't look like a Laguz, or a Kano, or a Jera. Which one are ya?"

January 23, 2018

[1:19 PM] gonig: “I am an Ayzer, from Psari. I’ve been to Ramalia before, it’s... quite hot. Are you a Laguz?”

[1:56 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Nah, I'm Beorc."

[2:33 PM] gonig: “Oh! Those are a rarity there, I’ve found. Was it hard growing up like that?”

[3:20 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "I guess not. No one ever really bothered us, and we got along with the Laguz. Or so I heard. Anyhow, my tribe was pretty much all Beorc."

[6:17 PM] gonig: “Oh. I had never encountered such a tribe... then again, my stay there wasn’t for long. I had to keep a waterskin with me, I dried up quickly.”

[6:18 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: Kiera unties her waterskin. "One like this, kinda? Yeah, the Beorc live awful far out from the rest of the country. Not that I mind. Just wish I could... or, I suppose my tribe could, be more 'involved' besides bein' to ourself."

[6:42 PM] gonig: “Perhaps you could voice your concerns to the queen of Ramalia? ...when you return home, that is. Or has your tribe already done so?”

[6:45 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "I reckon they might've. Every now an' again, the Queen asks for leaders from each Ramalian tribe for a big ol' meetin', and every time, my tribes' elders go for us. It's just... we haven't really expanded our tribe beyond its current place so much."

[11:34 AM] gonig: “She thinks that your problems aren’t as important to the others, then, since you’re not as large?”

[12:59 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Well, I don't guess that... that's the case. Reckon it's because our local economy's been real bad, so... people are afraid of gettin' more land... or... or havin' little ones...."

[1:21 PM] gonig: “Hmm. That is unfortunate... I’ve had bad harvests, but never has my... ‘village’ been in such dire straits.”

[7:33 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Yeah, yeah. It's why I'm here. Mercenary pay."

January 25, 2018

[5:34 PM] gonig: “Oh? You work here to support your family?”

[5:37 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Yeah," she says.

[8:36 PM] gonig: “I see. I could... say that I do the same. Though they don’t need help, so to speak... it’s an Ayzer thing, it’s complicated.”

January 26, 2018

[7:31 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "An Ay- oh, you must be a member of a different people, then. Big world, I reckon!"

January 27, 2018

[9:42 AM] gonig: “Yes. Though it’s more than likely that, being a Beorc, you haven’t seen my people. A lot of our life is underwater.”

January 28, 2018

[12:53 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Oh, I haven't. Where I grew up is a little far from the oceans."

[5:53 PM] gonig: “I thought not...” Gracie stands up, twirling around. “...though our investigation might bring us to Psari, in which case you’ll meet much more of our kind.”

[5:56 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Oooh! That'd be exciting. Wonder what kinds of toys and alcohol they have underwater?"

[6:22 PM] gonig: “Er... toys...?”

[6:25 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: Kiera keeps her lips tight. "I- well, sure? Ain't toys supposed to be fun?"

[6:32 PM] gonig: “I...” Gracie giggles. “...I suppose. Though there is not much in terms of alcohol, because... well, most of us live underwater. But there are some types that leave you warm, but dry.”

January 30, 2018

[12:17 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "I couldn't possibly imagine livin' underwater, but you know, this world's got all kinds of people in it."

[12:19 PM] gonig: Gracie nods. “It was hard to imagine living on land, at first...” She glances up to the sky, looking toward the sun, then bites her lip. “...ng. I’ve spent a bit too much time dawdling, I have to go. It was good to meet and talk with you, Kiera.”

[12:26 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "G-good to meet you too," she said while scratching her head.

[1:16 PM] gonig: Gracie quickly slips out of the water, scrambling off.

[1:55 PM] TC12 [Morale Booster]: "Kinda weird t'me... I've... well, I left home because there ain't no rain, but she lived her whole life with it. Ain't the world somethin'..." She thinks on the topic more before playing about in the water like a child. === End RP ===
