FETTERED SCHEMES [VIDEO] (private to Kerra)

[fotlenke]

[ It takes a little fiddling and some trial and error, but Sigyn manages to track down the "Mercy" with whom she had spoken over the network during Sigyn's announcement of Loki Odinson's arrival on Verdana (well, in, but her syntax aside, it is impossible for Loki to be inside the planet). She pushes the privacy lock on her message and then lifts the device, watching her image in the device's screen, centering the camera so that the view is reasonable.

She pushes back her hair over her shoulder with her free hand, smiling amiably. ]

My greetings of the lightest days, Lady Mercy! May we speak?

[erranthero]

Um...yea, sure. I'm up...I'm up...

[Well that was unexpected. Kerra pushes herself out of bed to answer the call, her hair an absolute mess of cowlicks.]

What's up, Sigyn?

[fotlenke]

You, obviously. [ She giggles at her own pun. ] I seek a brave warrior to accompany this princess on a quest!

[erranthero]

Uh...where to?

[She starts trying to smooth down her hair with no success]

[fotlenke]

Over the mountains, into the forest to see the Deeno-sores.

[ She lifts a hand to her mouth to muffle her giggle. ]

[erranthero]

The Dinosaurs? Uh, okay. Um, just to look?

[fotlenke]

Aye. The city is much too stuffy and I desire to explore the lands beyond Verdana. [ Which is true. ] Warrior Mulan and Bashful Jack are keeping watch of Loki, and I see chance for adventure. [ She lowers her hand from her mouth so that Kerra can see that Sigyn is smiling excitedly. ]

Will you not be my adventuring companion?

[erranthero]

Um, yea, sure. That's fine with me. I wanted to go see the dinosaurs anyway. Maybe I can tame one.

[She smiles though, still rubbing sleep from her eyes]

I can go with you, sure. Could be a lot of fun.

[fotlenke]

[ Sigyn beams brightly as if Kerra had just told Sigyn that she had won the lottery. She cheers. ] Oh! Wonderful! -- ah, one thing. [ She pauses and raises on finger. ] We may not tell Verdana where we are to go, as they are very nosey and suspicious.

[erranthero]

Okay. No problem.

[She shrugs]

They'd try and stop us?

[fotlenke]

[ She nods with a sour face. It looks as if she'd just tasted something far too sweet. ] Aye. They will ruin our adventure.

[erranthero]

's there a reason for that?

[Mumbled, still fiddling with her hair.]

I mean, it's not like there's any real government yea?

[fotlenke]

I do not know. But I am sure that we would be forced to turn back and sit in lonesome boredom should we let the others be aware of our plans. [ I.E. she really doesn't want to miss out on this free chance she has for adventure. ]

[erranthero]

Well, then I'll keep quiet. I wanna get out of here myself. Feeling...cooped up.

When?

[fotlenke]

Two days time. [ She's already calculated how long they will be gone and if they leave no notice, then no one (if any) will come looking for Sigyn and Kerra. ] We leave Sun's Day, once the moon is high in the cradle of the sky.

[erranthero]

That sounds good. I'm not good with mornings.

[-yawn-]

How long you wanna be gone?

[fotlenke]

A week's time. There shall be much exploring and cataloguing and we shall need to take our time. [ Her first trip out of the city, she wanted to experience as much as she can before they have to return or get caught and dragged back. ]

[erranthero]

Easy enough. Could be fun.

[Kerra's smile is almost lazy, she's happy to oblige.]

Send me a message on the morning of the day you wanna leave. I'll be ready.

[fotlenke]

[ Sigyn nods, smiling. She's glad that Kerra came through for Sigyn on this expedition. ] I shall do so. We leave during night, so please, wear strong boots, as we will be traveling on foot for a sometime before we will use my transportation.

[erranthero]

You have a transport?

[fotlenke]

Aye. Well -- [ She pauses. ] it is not the best method of transport, but borrowing a sample from Asia's lords and ladies, it will take us far enough.

[erranthero]

Alright. Have it all ready. I'll see you in a couple 'days then.
