[IC] Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*The sun begins to set over the horizon, and while most of the skyline is shifted to a more orange hue as you would expect, various spots across distant landscape suddenly reveal a pink-colored aurora over what can only be presumed to be the Pools of Salubrity, putting on a stunning natural light show*
Rea: I’m not worried about the details, honestly. If sharing less info means some perpetrator has less of an idea how much they’re onto them, then that’s for the best.

*Fixes my gaze on their radiance*
Once you murder someone, I think any pretense of subtlety goes out the window.

Rea: That would make the case easy to solve I think… But I don’t know.
*General Curtis’s voice suddenly rings out, but not through the radio. Instead it is heard over the background through some sort of intercom system*
Curtis: Attention citizens. We have five minutes until curfew. For your own safety, please report to your designated rooms. If you are assigned essential night staff, please check in at the lobby to have a guard assigned to you. Anyone roaming the halls after hours will be detained for questioning. Thank you.
Rea: There’s my cue…

I'm... good. I just drink here.
*Lifts a hand and snaps twice, before a short girl walks past, glaring at me*
Okay sorry the usual please.
*Mutters*
Don't raise my rent...

*Chuckles as i pour one shot for me and i take the glass of ale you offered and first i drink the hemp whisky shot and then i gulp a mouthful of ale* Aaaaah! Nothin' like mixing beverages brother! *I look at you and at the annoyed girl* It's fine, i'll pay for myself and for this dude... do you accept gold or precious stones? I'm sorry i heard of your tavern coin, i have none of that... but i have valuables i can trade! *I seemingly grab out of nowhere two small rectangle bars of gold that resembles the Spartan bars of ancient Greece or any Romanic or Grecian like civilization*

*Holds up a hand*
It’s on me. A trade for intel.

Stay safe out there, Rea. I bet I’ll have a cure to tell you about tomorrow.

@The Odeoron

Currency is tricky. Usually favors or really rare relics are your best chance of trading. It sounds like the Tavern uses its own system that you earn from quests.

@Source

Phhh... dude, i heard you squealing for her not to raise your rent... what's that about? But okay... *I put the gold bars back in my pocket* So... intel on some weird ass universe that sounds like a dream of a madman rather than a valid world, and that some of its solar systems have mysteriously collapsed... yeah... i'm about as clueless as a fly right now...

@Memory

Fair point... I mean it would make sense considering what we've been dealing with in the past...

You could tell me about your magic instead~

Why such fascination for magic, lady? What's so special about it? It is merely a means to an end...

A lesser magic wisdom spirit thank you, and yes mind me!

Okay then, let's talk about this mission, and about what your plans are, it seems we pretty much know squat about the thing...

Phhh... Okay, here you go... *I proceed to place the tesseract on the counter and @Source you can also see it now because i willed it so* If you can interact with my so called artifact, we'll talk some more about magic then! *I grin with false innocence*

@The Odeoron

Scoping missions are our bread and butter. We get in, stay low-key, investigate, and get out without ever being seen. No unnecessary combat, no conflict.

*As soon as you do that, you can no longer see it, its as if it can only be seen by the physical eyes, and you also feel it has no solid substance... but it is also infinitely heavy at the same time... the readings are all over the place*

@Source

Well then... that sounds AWFULLY a lot like what Prism used to do before... Are you sure you guys are not related or something?

@The Odeoron

Yeeeaaaaah, I can’t cast spells so unless this thing decides to turn on and be magical, it’s just a rock as far as I can touch.

I’m closer to a tourist than I am a quester. I don’t really solve problems.

Yeah... no kidding, it won't for anybody but me... ask him *I jut my finger towards you @Memory*

@Memory

Tourist, until you accepted the first mission of the commander to be a military reporter... that sounds an awful lot like an intel gatherer skill.
