Starlight Surprise

[emet_sulk]

[ Surprise, it's a Starlight gift! How mysterious. There's no note besides a small tag that reads 'Happy Starlight' and the box itself is wrapped in plain, cerulean paper with a silver ribbon.

Inside, there is a bangle. It looks plain, but there is a protective ward woven into it. Hopefully to prevent Rhea'li from being possessed again or having his mind otherwise messed with. ]

[lightduties]

[How mysterious. There aren't many people here who could possibly know what Starlight is. This doesn't seem like something Thancred would give, which leaves... Emet-Selch.

...Or the very long-shot -- knowing that particular family's propensity of showing up in unexpected places -- of the Saint of Nymeia somehow ending up here.

Nay, 'tis more likely the gift is from Emet-Selch. Though whatever for? He'll wear it, but he can't help but wonder if the long lived ancient still thinks of him as a child if he's being given Starlight gifts?]

im sure youve heard already but theyve found a way for us to visit other worlds
id very much like to see your own if the chance arises
that is if either of us win this lottery thing

[lightduties]

[A message from someone named sharkconcept? That must be Hythlodaeus; he does recall quite vividly that long complaint Hythlodaeus voiced in Elpis.]

wuld the nrl agree?
thier rules would me an yuo couldnt go

[starshepard]

[ Unfortunatley, his assumption is wrong. Azem just thought it'd be a funny username.

But none of that matters right now as Azem is squinting at the text as they try to decipher it. Maybe they should have called instead? Oh, well, they'll give text one more try. ]

cant go?
i thought that rule only applied to say the future of one's timeline

[lightduties]

[Strange. Was Hythlodaeus not paying attention to the explanation? But given his work at the Bureau of the Architect, he wouldn't be anything less than attentive... right?]

we must be tethered to someone from another star aye? it seems unwise to attempt stneaking by the nrls stipulations to visit home again

[starshepard]

we are from different stars
are we not?

[ Azem's seen a little of his world from his memories and it wasn't any place they recognized. ]

[lightduties]

[Alright this is definitely not Hythlodaeus. Then... who is this?]

i may hv mistaken you for someone else
who is this?

[starshepard]

oh
its azem

who did you think this was?

[starshepard]

so how was the trip with emetselch?

[lightduties]

[Oh bugger him!!]

twas interesting
he grumbled much as is his wont
bt i enjoyed the trip

[starshepard]

where did he take you?

[lightduties]

[Uhhh................. well the best place to choose would be Elpis, right? It is, after all, the only place in the world unsundered that he's actually seen. The lie would be all the more believable if he can pull from actual experiences, right?]

it was a place with many creations in development
elpis

[starshepard]

[ Hmm, curious. Azem isn't going to call him on it just yet. They're curious as to what he has to say about Elpis. ]

elpis huh?
ive been there a time or two quite an interesting place
what did you like most?

[lightduties]

the researchers are very passionate
i aws asked to help impove cewrtain creaturs so they could be submitted as concepts

[ thearchitect ]

[emet_sulk]

[ After enough time for Azem and Rhea'li to converse-- ]

You told Azem we returned home together?!

[lightduties]

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.]

is this emet selch

[You know, just checking. After Azem took what is very clearly a Hythlodaeus-like user name, he also wouldn't put it past Hythlodaeus to masquerade as Emet-Selch]

[emet_sulk]

Yes, of course it is! Who else did you think I could be?

[lightduties]

well
azems user name sounds like htyhlosdeaus

[emet_sulk]

I see your spelling remains atrocious.

Nevermind that - why would you offer such a foolish falsehood to them? Us being acquaintances is not a stretch of the imagination, even with so many thousands of years between us. But now I have to pretend we are from entirely different worlds?

[lightduties]

[Well that confirms it's definitely not Hythlodaeus. Hythlodaeus wouldn't write him up for something like that! (Probably.)]

my apologies
it was the best i could come up with at the time
but are we not already pretending that our time is not one and the same

sometime before The Drama lul

[conceptreview]

Dear Rhea'li,

Please join me at my apartment for a very charming and aesthetically pleasing lunch.

Best regards,
Hythlodaeus

[Attached is the address, and a photo of an elaborate bento box.]

un: rhea'li

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li squints at the username. But is this really Hythlodaeus? After mistaking Azem for Hythlodaeus, seeing his name plainly like that makes him wonder... But he supposes this does sound like him.]

that is indeed quite a charming lunch
ill be there

[Regrettably, he has not yet been taught the joys of emoticons.

Nevertheless, Rhea'li does show up at the address attached and actually has the grace to knock for once. He has a bag with him, in which there are four bottles of ramune (in the original lime-lemon flavour) nestled inside, appropriately chilled.]

[conceptreview]

[It's very polite of Rhea'li to knock! The door, of course, is unlocked; from inside he'll hear Hythlodaeus call come in! while he's bustling around in the kitchen. He's set out the aforementioned bento box in the middle of his small dining table, plus a second, smaller box next to it.

He welcomes Rhea'li in with a grin.]

I must say, the people of this star have mastered the art of cute objects.

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li enters. An unlocked door... truly the good man is far too trusting. But given the society he came from... A small smile curls his lip at the sight of Hythlodaeus and the prepared bento boxes.]

And you, my friend, are a quick study.

[Hythlodaeus made them himself, right? Right??

Rhea'li holds up his bag.]

I brought drinks for us. And some extras.

[For HHythlodaeus' dear friends.]
