Warnings: Nothing to worry about. Just playing around with the shellphone.



[Before there was any imagine, only the sound of someone shuffling about with the device could be heard. A muffled 'Does this really work?' in a female voice followed shortly after. More unintelligible mumbling as suddenly a picture of a rather unflattering angle of a drow's face from being held waaaay too close flicked across the screen. A pair of pale white eyes widen in mixture of surprise and excitement.]

Oh! It really does work.

[There was a beat before the drow realized it wasn't just her seeing her own image, but that she was broadcasting it to everyone. There was another little small gasp as the video shifted. Being held out at the proper distance, one could see the woman squarely in the frame. Koh cleared her throat, giving a small wave with her free hand.]

Hello, sorry about that... I was testing out the functions I was told this device was capable of. I don't have anything like this where I am from so just.... familiarizing myself with it. It seems my visit here is a bit more extensive than I previously had hoped it would be. I... usually don't stay in one place for too long. I guess a formal introduction is in order.

My name is Kolnatha Shavval, but you can just all me Koh for short. In case anyone is in need of a healer, I am a cleric by trade. Which, on that note, would anyone happen to know where I can acquire medicinal herbs? Specifically ones that can aid in relieving motion sickness? [There was slight awkward pause.] I... don't exactly have my sea legs yet.

I think there's a place where you can get ginger tea. That helped me.

I...had the same problem.

[inherlight]

Ginger tea? That might help in the short term. Anything to alleviate my symptoms is most appreciated.

How are you now? Better I hope.

[Ah, Gale recognizes that voice! Gale has not had opportunity to encounter Koh in the week and some change following the masquerade, but he can't deny being glad to know that there's another Faerun native about.]

Miss Shavval! This is a pleasant surprise.

[Well, as pleasant as tumbling through a rift to someplace unfamiliar can be, but being fond of adventure, Gale is keen to look for the silver lining in such cases.]

You may be glad to know there are plenty of remedies for just such an ailment available here, including a draught I myself have concocted. The sea certainly took some getting used to when I first arrived.

Look to the horizon; do not focus on the waves. {Remedies will only last for a short time. It's best to form a plan of action.}

Oh man, I totally feel you on the tech! I'm kinda behind on all that due to, uh, "stuff", back home, and now I gotta catch up all over again.

[inherlight]

[Oh, there was a familiar voice. So this is what her dance partner looked like without the mask and skeletal makeup. She gave him a soft smile, waving her hand one more time.]

Why hello again, Sir Wizard. Thank you for the dance the other night. I wish we could have met under better circumstances.

[Light chuckle.]

Something you made? I would be curious on how you make it. Unless the recipe is a closely held secret.

[inherlight]

That is... good advice. I will try it next time I board a vessel. Right now, I'm enjoying my time on... something a little more solid.

[prince_of_the_moon]

The change will serve you no favors. You must become accustomed to the swaying.

[inherlight]

[A talking... duck? Well, not the weirdest thing she's seen.]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who needs to 'catch up'. My world has its own technology that is mostly ran on magic. Nothing quite like this however...

Well damn, Sassy-sama

[inherlight]

[Slow blinks.]

Well, yes of course. That would be the best solution, however its not going to happen over night. Isn't it nice to enjoy a break now and then?

[sos_pilot]

If you ask me, the line between magic and technology can be super blurry.

>8| Principles. Self-control. No breaks. Stoic face.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Breaks? What are those?}

A waste of time. {Unless the breaks are informative?} The sea is where we will find answers.

[inherlight]

It does feel like that sometimes. Like these devices for example. I can't tell if it's magic or something else that powers them. My own powers is fueled by my faith. I'm not studied on the Weave.

[inherlight]

[My... wasn't he a serious one. Still trying to be diplomatic.]

You plan on spending your whole time living on the ship then? There must be something important drawing you back home.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Yes, he is.}

If I must. {He has a small girl to return to and a brother relying on him to come up with an answer.} Why else would it be called home?

[inherlight]

[Koh snorts softly, giving him a sympathetic smile.]

I understand... There is something important waiting for me back where I'm from as well. However, we won't do anyone any good if we don't be kind to ourselves first.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Your kind requires long periods of rest? {He sounds judgemental and yet it doesn't truly concern him.} I do not. I will carry on.

[inherlight]

My kind doesn't sleep, not like normal people do anyways. We trance, which is like a deep meditative state where we stay semiconscious while doing so. You make it sound like I'm taking an extended holiday. Spending a day or two on solid ground to formulate a plan isn't going hurt anyone.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Do so and prepare yourself. {He will likely explore the land regardless of what he says.} Acquire a weapon or some form of defense.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah. Took awhile, but I'm okay most of the time. Unless the water's really rough.

A friend of mine also told me to just keep looking at the horizon.

[inherlight]

[At that she couldn't help let out a small 'ha'.]

Don't worry about me. I can handle myself. I may specialize in healing magic, but I do know how to fight. I am thankful that I found my sword and shield, along with some of my belongings. Not sure why they felt the need to bury it...

[inherlight]

Now that, I am not looking forward to. Hopefully we'll be at port if a storm hits.

Let me guess... Is this friend of yours tall with long white hair, looks like an elf, and lacks a sense of humor?

[sos_pilot]

The Weave? You're gunna have to go into detail on that, because it's probably nothing what I think it is.

[prince_of_the_moon]

...they were buried? {He has questions. More than he would like.}

[inherlight]

Wait.... yours weren't buried? I had to go find my things in a buried treasure chest.
