Fantasy Cursed Island

"On the floor, somewhere." Sal glanced down to the floor before getting up to sort her clothes from his.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Jalin sighed, "I really should have done the buttons." He got up and fumbled around for his tunic, pulling his amulet from the inside pocket, holding the golden amulet up for Sal to examine. "If you promise to keep in contact, and sometimes come to meet us when I call, I will do my best to convince my group to leave you and the Air Stone be."

 

[Fangs9090]

Sal looked at the amulet. "Hm? A bribe?"

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"No, a communicationn device," Jalin tapped the stone, "That functions very similarly to a Sending Stone, it is part of a set of five, of which the other members of my party possess." He set it down on the table, "We use it to communicate over long distances without waiting for a courier." He nodded at Sal, "If you'll keep in touch and be able to come to us when the time comes, it's yours, and I'll convince my party to let you keep the stone."

 

[Fangs9090]

"Hm..." Sal considered the offer for a moment before she nodded. "Alright. Just keep in mind that even my ship needs time to get somewhere. If I don't have enough advanced notice, you will be waiting for me."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Jalin smiled, "That's fine." He slid the medallion towards Sal, "I'll call them in the morning." He turned towards Sal and took her hand, "In the meantime..."

 

[Fangs9090]

Sal looked over at him. "Hm? Ready for round two? Or ready to sleep?"

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Jalin reached around Sal to put an arm around her waist, "That depends on you."

 

[Fangs9090]

"Mm, I could go for another round. We'll have time to sleep afterwards."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Jalin nodded and took Sal's hand to go back to the bed...

--------------

"Hmm," Sinach looked around the table again, "it's getting late, guys."

 

[Fangs9090]

Roy nodded. "We'll have to sleep soon."

Katsuo spoke up. "You will. I will wake you if Jalin calls overnight."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"You got an amulet?", Sinach asked.

 

[Fangs9090]

"No, but it is little trouble for me to sit in the same room as someone else."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Alright, just don't be creepy about it," Sinach ruffled his sheafs before fluttering back up to perch on Roy's horns. "Girls, you heading to bed?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Nidia gave a nod. “Yeah.” She started nudging Emilia to get her awake enough that she’d be able to get to the room.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Be careful," Sinach settled down on Roy's head, like a bird in a nest between the goat man's horns. "Onward!"

 

[Fangs9090]

Roy sighed as he got up before heading to his room. Katsuo followed after him.

Nidia and Emilia went to their own room shortly after to call their parents. Hopefully they won’t be able to tell they’d been drinking.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

In the men's room, of which the occupants were presently just Roy, Sinach, and Katsuo, Sinach fluttered onto the end table and refolded back into his, still black with ink, tome form. The women's room was similar to the one they'd occupied at the inn across the ocean, with Siege passed out drunk on of them. She was on her knees with her upper body over the mattress, the now emptied mug of strong alcohol laying on its side on the floor.

 

[Fangs9090]

Katsuo settled into a chair to wait out the night. Roy set his call amulet on the table next to him before settling down to sleep.

Nidia took some time to move Siege's legs onto the bed with the rest of her. Emilia had to help, but they got it done. After that, they both settled on the other bed to call their respective parents.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

It took a bit for their parents to answer. Emilia's mirror took a few moments, and when Adran and Erina appeared on screen Adran had wood and stone dust on his clothes and in his hair like he'd been building something.

Veo wasn't at the mirror when it was answered, but in the background Nidia could see her moving around the tavern delivering food adn drink.

 

[Fangs9090]

Emilia smiled when Adran appeared. "Hey, Daaahhh..." She took a moment to finish yawning. "Hey, Daddy."


Bastet was the one to answer the mirror. "Ah, hello!"

"Hi, Bastet. Mom and Dad working?"

Bastet nodded. "Yep. We're busy tonight."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Hey, sweetie," Adran smiled, "Erina, Emilia called!", he looked back at the mirror, "Timezones, huh? It's noon over here."


"Is that Nidia?", Veo called from off-screen, "Is she okay?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Emilia blinked. "Is it really? It's just about bedtime over here."

"Coming!" Erina showed up a few moments later.


Bastet looked over. "Yes, she's fine." She looked at the mirror again, leaning in briefly before calling back. "Just a little tipsy."

"I am not!"

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Well, you did cross an ocean," Adran reminded Emilia as Erina came over, "Different parts of the world get different sun." He smiled as Erina showed up, "How's adventure going?"


"Nidia!", Veo dropped a tray on the counter and clip-clopped over as fast as her hooves could carry her, "I thought you knew better than that!"

 

[Fangs9090]

“It’s going great! The ship we sailed on turned out to be a pirate ship.”

Erina’s eyebrows shot up. “Pirates? Are you alright?”

“Yeah, yeah, they were nice.”

“Nice or ‘nice?’”

Emilia giggled. “Nice.”


“I’m not!”

Bastet pointed at the mirror. “Yes, she is! Look, her ears are uneven. She only does that when she’s been drinking.”

“They’re not uneven.” Nidia reached a hand up to correct her ears, but sure enough one of them stubbornly kept turning just slightly to the side.

Veo’s fuss got Emil’s attention, so he wrapped up his song to head over.
