• OOC: *pounds head* What are caracals? I forgot.... Curses. BIC: *Nyssa sneers, waving her long thin swordblade at them. Her blue pirate's coat swishes about her footpaws as she charges on the sand toward the ship.* 'Ere, raggypaws, wot's all that jibberish yore spoutin'? Who's the 'One Mother', eh? Some sorta quack religion y've all thought up, eh? (NT) -- Nyssa Nalrean, 19:40:46 09/30/03 Tue
  • (google, Babe) *the Male frowns and cracks a finger* You would do better to speak of Her with more respect, Youngest Child. *gestures to one of the younger females, she nods and wlaks to the ladder, crawling down to stand in front of Nyssa on the dock, she nods. She carries a thick three foot staff with a wide, thin, spade shaped blade capping it, she swallows before speaking* I am Saffron Fifthdaughter, I will tell you all you wish to know of the One Mother (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 20:04:10 09/30/03 Tue

• **The young canine had been snooping around the harbor for any captain with cheap fares. She's not had much luck...so she walks to the end of the pier to watch this new ship drift in. She hugs her cloak more tightly to her, trying to pretend she's not still feverish from her recent wounds. She stays on the dock, just watching as the feline crew steps off. She waits until the Male's attention is free before approaching him. She speaks quietly when he looks at her** 'Scuse me...but where'd you say this ship was headed next? (NT) -- Tishka Extasis, 06:58:00 10/01/03 Wed
  • *Remiel calls down from the ship* Most likely Sempetra. You may board if you wish to return to the One Mother's Arms (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 07:43:16 10/01/03 Wed

  ---

• **She purses her lips in thought...figuring she has anough experience in avoiding responsabilities to weasel out of the One Mother's arms once she's in Sampetra. She looks up at the caracal again, squinting against the sunlight** An' you said it was free? (NT) -- Tishka Extasis, 11:14:46 10/01/03 Wed
  • *nods* (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 16:57:06 10/01/03 Wed
    • *The amber eyed ermine observes form his own spot on the dock, wrapped tightly in his black cloak, smiling lightly he walks to Tishka* You're going then, hm? (NT) -- Eroket, 17:05:17 10/01/03 Wed

  ---

• **Excitement flutters in her chest for a brief moment, and she turns to face Eroket, dropping her voice to speak to him** Yeh...though I never been on a big ship like this before, so I dunno what to expect **She looks over her shoulder at the bow of the massive ship, and up at the masts that seem to pierce the sky, and she sighs** Eroket, I'll repay you somehow...but today I'm ready to leave. (NT) -- Tishka, 17:18:03 10/01/03 Wed
  • Hey...we discussed this already, Tishka..*He smiles at her.* Nothing I say's gonna change your mind...just remember your promise, ok? Good fortune be with you, Tishka Extasis. Until we meet again *He smiles at her, blinking quickly (NT) -- Eroket, 17:19:52 10/01/03 Wed

  ---

• **she smiles vaguely, just studying his face for a moment. She's never quite figured out how to say goodbye...so she just turns around and walks to the edge of the dock underneath the rope ladder, looking up at the silhouetted caracal. She calls up to him** Oi! So can I board right now? Do I need anything? (NT) -- Tishka, 17:41:12 10/01/03 Wed
  • *Ero walks up to her* Oh, and Tishka? (NT) -- Eroket, 17:44:14 10/01/03 Wed
  • *shakes his head* come aboard, you need nothing but a open mind, and a desire for Her embrace *steps back from the ladder* And you Child are also welcome to reunite yourself with the One Mother *calls to eroket* (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 17:44:40 10/01/03 Wed
    • *Ero looks up.* I have everything right here, I am happy where I am...bring this one back to me though...*He nods to the captain (NT) -- Eroket, 17:48:32 10/01/03 Wed

  ---

• **Smiling, she pulls herself onto the ladder, careful to keep her wounded arm within the folds of her cloak as she climbs up a couple rungs, only pausing to glance down at Eroket as he says her name. Her tail weaves from side to side beneath her, betraying her eagerness and mild impatience** (NT) -- Tishka, 17:55:17 10/01/03 Wed
  • *He waves a paw to her* Goodbye...hopefully not forever though *HE smiles, blinking away several tears.* Daughter... (NT) -- Eroket, 17:58:12 10/01/03 Wed

  ---

• *Nyssa nods at what the first male had said, figuring that she ought to figure what this was all about before she made more comments.* Who is the One Mother? I've never heard of such o' creature afore. (NT) -- Nyssa Nalrean, 17:59:33 10/01/03 Wed
  • Remiel ignores Eroket after he turns down his offer, and steps back to accomidate Tishka. Saffron, down on the docks speaks to Nyssa* The One Mother is the birther of all creature. *bows her head, ritually* The Seed of the Planet was forced unto her and she bore the beginning of all life in Her Womb. She raised our ancestors like any mother would. But many of her children ignored her, and instead chose to follow their cruel father. *bows her head again* That is why She sent Her eldest and most loyal Child, Ton the Caracal, to bring Her Children back to Her, so that She may Bless Them with Her Care once again. *bows her head* (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 11:24:26 10/02/03 Thu

• **She grins and scrambles up the ladder as quickly as she's able, climbing onto the deck and standing there for a moment, looking around as she's not sure where she's supposed to go, or what she should do. The deck of the ship looks nothing like she'd imagined.** (NT) -- Tishka, 14:01:48 10/02/03 Thu
  • *Eroket refrains from darting up after her but remains on the dock watching her.* Tishka! *He calls.* (NT) -- Eroket, 14:18:05 10/02/03 Thu

  ---

• *Nyssa pauses, taking in Saffron's words. With a sigh, she sheaths her blade and looks solemnly at the ship, her mood suddenly changing back to 'mysterious misty voice'.* I suppose... Is there room for another aboard? (NT) -- Nyssa Nalrean, 15:20:17 10/02/03 Thu

  ---

• **At the top of the gangway, Tish looks down at Eroket, the wind tugging and pulling at the folds of her cloak** (NT) -- Tishka, 06:42:40 10/03/03 Fri
  • *Saffron steps back from the ladder, gestures to it* you are always welcome to embrace Her, Child, and we always have room for a sibling. *bows her head* (NT) -- Saffron Fifthdaughter, 07:10:38 10/03/03 Fri

  ---

• *Not certain about this One Mother, she felt that she should at least go with them and see what would happen. She needed to feel the sea 'neath her paws once more anyway. She nods her thanks to Saffron* Thank you, Saffron Fifthdaughter. I've got to see it for myself, I suppose. *She scales the ladder and stands on the deck, wondering what would happen* (NT) -- Nyssa Nalrean, 12:09:54 10/03/03 Fri
  • *Eroke smiles back* Just make sure you come back when you find out what you need! You're like a daughter to me, Tishka...don't you dare let anything happen to you again (NT) -- Eroket, 12:34:28 10/03/03 Fri
    • *the Deck of the ship is in the process of renovation, the crew is a grumpy lot, consisting mostly of tailess otters* Pirates.. *Remiel explains, He points nyssa and tishka in the direction of an open door, leading to their room* You may sleep peacefully. We eat at the sun's peak. A Sibling will be in shortly to cleanse you *turns back to the dock* Do any others wish to embrace the One Mother (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 11:25:00 10/04/03 Sat
      • "What do you mean by 'cleansing' otter? *Eroket replies calmly (NT) -- Eroket, 11:46:38 10/04/03 Sat

  ---

• **Tish looks down at Eroket again, but she can't really hear what he's saying so she waves with a smile before moving out of sight as she steps aside to let Nyssa up onto the deck. She glances around at the visible crew, then looks briefly to Nyssa before walking towards the door Ramiel had gestured to. As she walks, she gazes around at the immense rigging, wondering how something so huge and complex could actually float across the water. She mumbles, half to herself, half to Nyssa** must be some magic in it all 'm sure... (NT) -- Tishka Extasis, 11:49:35 10/04/03 Sat
  • *Remiel, a Caracal, not an Otter, Looks down at the suspicous ermine, rolling his eyes* Cleansing, with soap, hot water, and a brush. Maybe some scents. We want our Sisters comfortable. (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 12:31:00 10/04/03 Sat
    • (caracals...for those who don't know) -- Remiel Secondson, 12:32:44 10/04/03 Sat
      • OOC: Oh yeah... I knew they were cat-things. Didn't remember the ears, though. Nice. BIC: *Nyssa nods at Tishka's remark* I suppose. *She smiles thankfully to Remiel* Thank you, Remiel Secondson (If he hasn't mentioned his name, never mind her saying it). *She heads toward the door with after Tishka* (NT) -- Nyssa Nalrean, 14:44:50 10/04/03 Sat
        • *bows his head to her, looks around, not seeing anymore beasts to convert, he walks towards his cabin, leaving the other caracals to wait around* (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 07:51:24 10/07/03 Tue
          • *a few hours later, the huge splash of all of the ships oars being lowered into the water resonates across the dock, after a few warming strokes, the ship begins to move off the docks, and far away from fort nightshade* (NT) -- Remiel Secondson, 11:14:31 10/09/03 Thu

  ---

• **Tishka leaves the room she was shown to, walking along the deck to the rail and smiling as she watches the land drift away. For some time she just stands there, occasionally leaning over a little so she can watch the oars below, realizing there were a lot more beasts on this ship than she had originally thought ** (NT) -- Tishka, 10:01:18 10/10/03 Fri

  ---

• *Nyssa walks up and stands next to Tishka at the deck railing. When the last speck of Fort Nightshade has vanished, she looks toward the fellow beast.* Haven't really seen you around the Fort before. Are you new here? (Note that she hasn't seen Tishka in the taverns before, as she rarely stays there) (NT) -- Nyssa Nalrean, 14:22:48 10/10/03 Fri
  • *The medium hight umber-ish caracal female walks up and stands behind them, waiting for a break in the conversation before she says* If you wish i will show you to your baths now, we should reach sempetra soon (nyssa, you know how to get there right?) (NT) -- Saffron Fifthdaughter, 18:45:50 10/10/03 Fri

  ---

• **She props her elbows on the top rail, just watching the broad horizon, only glancing to Nyssa for a moment** Yeh I hadn't been there long...**She straightens and looks around at Saffron as she approaches** Uh...yeh, alright...**Smiles briefly at Nyssa as she steps away from the rail, motioning for the caracal to lead on** (NT) -- Tishka, 19:16:22 10/10/03 Fri
  • OOC: Aye aye. I used to hang around there a LONG time ago. BIC: *Nyssa nods, stepping away from the railing* (NT) -- Nyssa Nalrean, 08:16:32 10/11/03 Sat

  ---

• ((alright. Ready to get Tishka off this dumb board. I'll take it up at http://www.voy.com/14228/ so go there, and play Nyssa at INSU for a while)) (NT) -- Tishka, 11:21:12 10/24/03 Fri
