"Come along if you want," she replied, her voice bored and uncaring as ever. "Guess you're a better pick than most of these other idiots." Kat was clearly on edge. Tahira was not an expert on interpreting body language, but the leopard was eyeing her master uneasily and, considering how close the two were, that was the only cue she needed to sense the woman’s discomfort. However, she had long ago learned when it was best to stifle her curiosity. As long as it did not interfere with their mission, the diminutive woman’s issues were none of her concern. Cocking her head to the side, she recalled something that might be of use to the two of them. “I believe the library holds a tome which refers to these ‘Drakas’ at some length,” Tahira said. “You can make ready to depart while I retrieve it.” Turning her back on the duo, she moved away from the job board and went through the door to the library. Her fingers traced a path along the spine of several books as she moved up and down the shelves, seeking the one she had mentioned. [i]Ah, there[i]. Her hand touched the well-worn bindings of a tome which was simply entitled On Shoba, and penned by an unknown scholar on the subject. She had yet to read it, but its inclusion in the tavern’s surprisingly extensive library lent something to its credibility, so she removed it from the shelf, making a note of where it belonged. Leaving the library as quickly as she had entered, she ascended to the second floor to receive the leather satchel that hung from a hook in the wall of her room. Slipping the book into one of its pockets, she returned to the place she had left Kat, satisfied she was prepared.

I'm making soooo much progress. /sarcasm

The Blue Moon Tavern

I'm working on my post. -_-

The Blue Moon Tavern

It looks like the group for staring into the abyss is ready to get started. Who would like to do the first posT?

@pure493

You'll be separated from us at the beginning, going ahead on your own, right? So you can make another post at your leisure, depending on when we want to catch up to each other. The tension will rise pretty high if we run into each other quickly, or we can hold off until we're too far away to turn back. I'll be responding to c3p-0h soon, and moving at their pace.

@Fillet Margaret and Felan don't seem to have committed to anything. Drubbins is interested in finding some dogs, and I think Viggo mentioned the same mission Sess, Naida and Azzrix are on.

The Blue Moon Tavern

dudes you forgot Azzrix, I specifically said I wasn't going to be able to post until tonight

@The Patriarch

Sess did? Sorry about that, he gets a lot to respond to at once. Did your character directly interact with Sess or Naida?

The Blue Moon Tavern

I'd rather we use Google Docs or Pirate Pad for collaborative writing instead of private convos, but I can use the PMs easily enough.

The Blue Moon Tavern

I guess Historia is the only one interested in taking a E rank mission huh XD

@onenote

Probably :p A lot of us made characters with more experience than new adventurers should have had, almost like yours was the only one made with the intentions of the RP in mind. However, it would be funny if Claire went chasing stray dogs with you. xD

In response to Priest’s concerns, Tahira expressed her agreement with a polite nod. While she appeared distant and mysterious to some, it were those very qualities which would point the astute observer to one of her defining traits, caution. If the priest thought the mission was too difficult to perform alone, she would seek out at least one partner to join her on the job, despite their potential to get in the way of her own scholarly interests in the gem. Fortunately, she didn’t have to wait long to find a prospective partner. As Rouen walked away from the board, and others came and went, Kat stepped up and pulled down the Arcane Collective’s flyer. Glancing at her leopard, she said "Wanna kill some Drakas?" Although the question had not been directed at her, Tahira stepped closer and provided her own answer. “If you seek another partner to accompany you, I am quite interested in this quest,” while speaking, she turned her eyes from Kat to Hel and back, as if addressing them both. She had not had much interaction with these two, as they did not stray near the library in which she spent most of her time, but they had proven themselves capable trackers from what she had heard.
