[ YEAH, THE UNDERTOW! No longer scary because Rhys is in charge!

Sitting atop Eranthis, Evelyn taps a melody against Eranthis' rocky shell as she waits for Eileen at the warp drop-off point. She is a wee bit early because she did not wholly trust her ability to be on time if she left later.

It's a shame Zenderael didn't have traveling mugs! She could have brought cold lemonade.

And yes, she's still wearing that same sundress. It does have patches in it.

At least she's wearing sandals? ]

[ who knows (r/f tbd) ]

Hello, Eileen! How are you? Have you found a guild to join? How's Bastan?

I'm surrounded by berserkers right now. It's quite exciting! I fell, but one of them caught me before I gouged an eye out on a stray branch. They're a bit more kinder than I thought, but still theatrically savage! This must be the Zenderaelian equivalent of studying abroad.

Have you heard? There was an earth dragon in the druid's territory. Medena, her name -- I've often camped out around her with Eranthis because it was comparatively tame there. No longer! She appears to have taken a trip to Earth. Alarming!

I'd love to hear back from you. ♥ Don't worry about the little dragon; they do not appear to be in the berserker diet.

Love,
Evelyn Marks

Who: Evelyn & Siegmund
When: tbd, Thurs/Fri
Where: World Library, Safta
Before/After: After Eileen springs for a trip to the World Library!
Warnings: stupid


[ there is a red-haired youth sneaking through the library, pausing at each corner and slowly peering out to make sure the coast is clear before advancing. one may notice, if they are watching from above, that this boy seems to be avoiding a pack of floating books that were currently two shelves down and one shelf to the right of him.

he takes a turn and it is the wrong one. the closest book snaps its pages shut, signaling recognition, and tears after him. the rest of the pack is quick to follow, their pages opened and clamping down like vicious jaws.

if one were still watching from above, they might notice that all of these books are incredibly thick. a coincidence...?

to her credit, because it is actually a girl, not a boy, evelyn isn't yelling. she knows the importance of silence in a library!!

so she runs, frantically wondering where the exit is as her guitar case thumps uncomfortably against her butt, her tea set clutched against her chest to prevent clinking. eranthurtle is clutching the inside of her shirt with his scrawny little claws lest he tumble out and become book food. ]

Who: Eileen & Evelyn
When: Wednesday, 4/6, evening
Where: Bastan
Before/After: --
Warnings: --

[ on tuesday, she'd been on her way to everea to go to one of the more safer villages and do some beginner quests there to replenish her coin pouch when she caught sight of the berserker parade. awed, evelyn and eranthurtle had parked far away enough to (hopefully!) not attract any attention, while still being close enough to watch.

there were a lot of berserkers, though, and after several minutes of watching, evelyn and eranthurtle resumed their own pace in the opposite direction. it took several minutes of travel time for her to realize that the berserker parade meant that they were no longer attacking bastan.

evelyn had no need to go all the way to bastan, but now she just had to! to see the state of the place. her burning curiosity wouldn't take no for an answer.

uuuunfortunately, that was not enough for the guards at the wall. one look at eranthurtle and their look turned sour. something about druids helping prisoners escape, something something, and without further ado she was escorted to the closest guard box.

it had already been dusk when she arrived. by the time they let her go, the stars were peeking through the clouds. evelyn sighed, riding eranthurtle and generally holding up traffic on two-thirds of the walkpath with his excessively chill pace, and wondered if she could find a little niche to sleep in. or would they detain her for that, too?!

a criminal in bastan! her shiny record, tarnished!

maybe she could pull off angled black sunglasses now... ]

Who: Evelyn & Siegmund
When: Monday, 4/4
Where: Pakerion, lowbie area
Before/After: --
Warnings: stupid

[ Evelyn knew by now to stay away from certain areas because they had monsters that would target her simply by virtue of being near them, but there were still places she did not know, maps, as they were, of aggro monsters right next to a relatively safe one.

This was one of those maps.

This was Evelyn running like hell from a pride of desert lions, back to a 'safe' map. Eranthis, her turtle elemental, reappeared next to her in bursts from the earth below, only to be outrun and left behind, to fall back into the earth and reappear several seconds later like whack-a-mole. ]

Aaaaaaaaaaah! Stop chasing me! There's not enough to go around, you'll only fight amongst yourselves! You shouldn't let a girl cause such strife within a close-knit community! Help!
