Current New Schedule for my RP friends. My goal is 1 reply a day, total. Meaning that of my 4 current ongoing RPs, each partner can expect a reply once every 4 days. Maybe more often if I'm inspired.

I think it's funny how worried I was about catching up on posts. I caught up in a day and am now bored waiting for replies!

I can't keep up with this along with all my other stuff I got going on IRL and with other hobbies/rps. I gotta duck out. Sorry folks.
Mergoux chewed her lip for a good while, listening to it's answer. Vorex, some manner of librarian from gods knew how long ago... He was a strange one, but from everything she could tell, right down to her gut, he wasn't anything to worry over. Another strange character to join the caravan, that was all too clear.

Her eyes scanned him over once more from underneath her helmet before she nodded once to herself, coming to her decision. "Alright," she said, "I'll help you, as best I can." She half turned and motioned for it to follow, all while the voice in her helmet chortled quietly into her ear. "There's a caravan nearby, come with me and maybe we can find someone who might know a thing or two more about your library, and who destroyed it."

That was her concern now, keeping an eye out for whatever might have destroyed Vorex's library. A thousand years meant nothing to some threats, and they needed to be careful if there was even the slightest chance it was still in the area.

Mergoux lead Vorex through the woods for a mile or so before coming back to the caravan, now towards the back half of it. "Here," she said, nodding to the wide variance of species that ambled ever onward. "I wager there will be someone in here who might know something."

Mergoux pondered the strange creature for a few moments as it spoke, making little gestures with one of it's quills. This library had been destroyed long ago it said? How long ago was that exactly she wondered? There were few signs of life, let alone ruins of a once-great library in the forest that she had seen, and such things did not spring up overnight. She found it unlikely it had wandered so far without finding people or paper, so what then had it been doing?

"He seems harmless..."

"Maybe," Mergoux muttered.

She frowned deeper as Vorex bent and plucked some of the grass and tasted it. "Answer my questions Vorex, and I'll help you" she offered. He didn't feel threatening, but you could never be too careful, and while she wasn't worried for herself, there were many in the caravan who might not be so able at defending themselves. This creature was small, but dangerous things often came in small packages, as anyone who'd ever fought a Dwarf could attest to.

"Who destroyed your library, who trapped you, and how were you freed?"

A small slit appeared on the creature, just below the great eye, and it spoke in a tongue she didn't know, with an accent she didn't recognize. The great eye closed, but she could tell it was moving beneath the lid. The creature remained more or less still for a moment, then it's eye opened once more and it spoke, this time in words she could understand.

"Oooh, he sounds funny."

Mergoux's lips thinned as he spoke, her permanent frown increasing. He was a small thing, but what kind of thing he was she had no idea. A great eye, a slit of a mouth, grey skin, no, she had never seen its like before. But then even a short a trip as this had been, there were a great many things here she had not yet seen. Creatures she'd never encountered before, and odd though they might be, they were all of them still people. Some good, some bad. This one before her, this Vorex who called itself a libraryman, was just another new sight on this strange, strange trip.

Mergoux's grip on the hilt of her blade loosened, as she stepped further from the shadow of the tree towards the creature. "Well met," she offered. Her words were welcoming enough, but her tone left much to be desired. "My name is... Isorn," she lied. There was a clucking of disapproval in her ear as she spoke, but she ignored it. She was far from lands where she was known, where a bounty might be offered, but still it paid to play it safely.

"A libraryman say you? Where is your library? How long have you been searching for new books?" she asked, taking another step closer. They were still then a few paces apart, but watching him, she felt her usual suspicions subside, at least for the moment.
