Paula: Sweeeeet. Am I gonna need the amulets right with me when I use this, or will it still work if I don't have them right there with me?
-There is a rapid, forceful knock on the door.-
Deziree: Oh, Dune, get that for me, please? Anyway, you don't need them nearby - that's what the oils were for! Just keep it either in the case or, if that breaks, keep it wet. Otherwise it'll lose it's charge.
-Dune goes over to the door and opens it.-
Dune: Hello?
-At the door is a vaguely Talonflame-y individual.-
Fawkes: I understand that a rogue by the name of Paula is currently here?
Paula: Oh, that's my cue! Listen, thanks, you two, this has been a real help! Sayonara!
-She promptly tosses Deziree a bag of money, then tosses the satchel full of amulets at Fawkes's head before grabbing the compass and jumping out of the window. Fawkes is knocked over and fumbles to right himself, examining the contents of the satchel.-
Fawkes: ...She... didn't take the amulets?
-Deziree catches the bag of gold, silver, and copper coins.-
Deziree: Well, that's actually a bit more than I was going to ask for...
-She pulls out one in particular.-
Deziree: Hey, this one's electrum!
-Dune blinks at the entire exchange.-
Dune: ... I'm confused.
Rill: <As am I.>
There is a knock at the door.
-Fawkes sighs-
Fawkes: I'm sorry to have barged in like this. What did that girl say about these amulets she brought?
-Deziree goes over to answer the other door.-
Deziree: Eey'ello?
-Dune sighs.-
Dune: Honestly, sir, I don't think she mentioned anything about them. I might have seen the design before, but I don't know anything about it.
Psyche floats in. ~I heard experiments were going on here, and I was interested in finding interesting companions.~
Fawkes: I... see.
-He pulls his own, identical amulet out from under his armor-
Fawkes: These amulets are tools belonging to the Floating Kingdom of Queen Diane Jaide, that hold the power to transform the wearer into a Pokemon. Paula is a notorious criminal who has been trying time after time to find the power source of these amulets, something only the Queen herself knows the location of.
-He conceals the amulet again-
Fawkes: It was our mission to retrieve the stolen amulets. Which is why it's a mystery why she just... handed them to me.
-Deziree blinks.-
Deziree: You're a Cerebramancer! I haven't seen one of you guys in forever! =D
-She motions inside.-
Deziree: Please, come right on in! I just finished a commission, so I've got plenty of time!
-Dune shrugs at Fawkes.-
Dune: I have no idea. She ordered a special compass from us, but from what I know of it it should just point to other amulets.
-Fawkes frowns-
Fawkes: Odd... Well, I suppose I should take no more of your time. She's already escaped, and... apparently paid you as well for the commission.
-He sighs, and turns toward the door-
Fawkes: Just... be more wary of your customers, I suppose.
-He transforms, and flies away.-
She walks in on the wall. ~Thank you, dear~ It's so good to see a sense of hospitality among the mystical sort~~
-Dune sighs as Fawkes flies off.-
Dune: It's like the Summer of '11 all over again...
-Dune looks over at Psyche ON the wall.-
Dune: ... Make that the winter of '09.
Deziree: Oh my goodness I had to make a potion of Galvantula's Grip to do that! Oh MAN that's cool! I wonder what would happen if you had some of my Thoughtecho Oil!
Psyche giggles. ~Oh dear, am I on the wall again? Mind telling me which way is up, dearie?~
-Deziree points to a poster on the wall that has four arrows.-
^Up, vDown, <East Wall, >West Wall
Deziree: I had a few similar incidents when I was dealing with a gravwarper stone.
Dune: That was in the spring of '12.
Psyche sweatdrops. ~Dearie, you're going to have to do better than that. Blindness and The Sight tend to be comorbid, dear.~
She rubs her fingers on the poster, ~Oh, you did think of that~ Thank you~ ^_^~ She reorients herself, but continues floating.
Deziree: Not a problem! I accidentally mixed up a bad batch of Zubat Sight Elixir one time, and things got... awkward.
Dune: That was ALSO in the spring of '12.
Deziree: So, would you like me to mix you up something, or would you like just one of my current projects?
Dune: I don't recommend anything that smells like it could be from a Numel's back.
~I am just looking for friends~ ^_^ I heard there was an alchemist in town that was called... eccentric. Sounded fun~ ^_^~
Deziree: Deziree the Mixer, at your service! I got my start making specialized "lodestones" used for tracking magical items. Artificers liked it especially, since they could use them to find forgotten items to disenchant.
Dune: We met during an expedition to one of the desert ruins. She nearly got me killed.
Deziree: Hey, I fixed that leg of yours!
Dune: After I had punched out that nasty Drapion golem that nearly got you.
~Psyche, seer, psion, cerebramancer, crafter of wonders, charmed~ ^_^ I see the Floating Kingdom has visited. I do wish I could see that boy again... But failing that, I shall simply just look for people that would otherwise challenge my intellect~~
Deziree: Oh, challenge how? Challenge as in direct combat, challenge as in puzzles, challenge as is culinary duel?
Dune: ... I don't think it's that last one.
Deziree: Hey, you never know! And wait, which boy?
~Yes. o3o~
She sighs at this last bit. ~There was one of the Queen's guard... I found him a year ago, and we had a few nights of... I've said too much.~ She bristles.
-Deziree arches an eyebrow high enough to blend into her hairline.-
Deziree: Ooooh, okay~
Dune: Uh, eheh, we're not ones to judge.
Psyche blushes. ~Nothing like that happened! ...Not my cup of tea, anyway. He was a sweetheart, though, and I enjoyed seeing him~ I would like to see him again. But last I heard, he had vanished... and I can't even see him with my Sight...~
Deziree: That's... concerning. Not unheard of, unstable portals have been known to occur in areas of great sorcery, but still concerning.
Dune: Don't scare her like that. I'm sure he's still safe, wherever he is.
Rill: ... <Um...>
-Rill just stands awkwardly, having no idea what to say since Paula made her dynamic exit.-
