Fettered arrival [video] (week 19 - Friday)

[fotlenke]

[ Sigyn hadn't exactly been happy when she woke up on the ship. She was never gratious upon being forcefully waken from slumber. Neither had she been happy when she'd found that she was no longer in the Vanir Fortress, miles and miles of realm space from her mother and sisters. So when she gets her hands on the communication device, she promptly presses all the buttons, not meaning to fuzzy-up the video and turn the volume loud enough that anyone within a mile radius can hear her voice. ]

I do not appreciate being taken from my home! Why was I taken? Who are you who live upon this world? Where is transportation to return me to my realm? I must warn you, I come from the blood of warriors, and never have we taken capture of our own lightly.

[ Her eyes glow, fingertips twitching with blue light. ]

The daughter of Freya demands answers!

Then perhaps an investigation must be started.

[oreskahouse]

One of your simpler investigations, as I'm sure you could find out by asking.

[If he's a little wry, well, sarcasm flows in his very veins. He can't help it.]

[fotlenke]

You will help me.

[oreskahouse]

Not very plausible, Milady. I'm fairly entrenched here, well outside the city. And I'm not one you want along on such an expedition anyway. I'm just not personable.

[Imperious, isn't she? Even Klia would have a hard time keeping up.]

[fotlenke]

Ah. A challenge, are you? [ She's intrigued. ] You only further note yourself as a worthy adventure companion.

[oreskahouse]

[If you like a constant stream of crabby sarcasm, maybe.]

I've always been more of a delegator when it comes to adventures. I do the most good at home in my tower, but of course that's not an option just now...

[fotlenke]

What are your skills?

[oreskahouse]

Diplomacy, Oreska magic with some limited knowledge of other schools, and choosing excellent dinner wine. And I'm a fairly good Bak'shi player, if Klia wasn't trying to flatter me.

[fotlenke]

'Oreska'? [ Is that some kind of sorcery. ]

[oreskahouse]

It's a corruption of an old Aurenfaie word for magic with a convoluted history. Suffice it to say the Oreska comprises Skala's wizards.

[fotlenke]

So they are bad?

[oreskahouse]

...Linguistic corruption. I'm Oreska. As opposed to a witch, a necromancer, an Aurenfaie sorcerer, an alchemist... Though with the exception of necromancy, we do tend to absorb a little of everything.
