003 [Voice] Oh noes!

[childofthefullmoon]

[In the early hours of the morning, someone may or may not see Estelle quietly leaving house 12 and walking to the bridge between house 14 and 35. It's there that she leans over to look down at the river below. Carefully she removes what looks like a piece of jewelry, her blastia. She looks around to make sure nobody is watching then reaches out to hold it over the river before... dropping it. The blastia hits the water with a splash and soon disappears as it's carried downstream. Whoops?

It isn't until a few hours later, when people are probably awake, that she opens her journal.]

Oh, it's terrible! I've lost my blastia! I can't find it anywhere! What am I going to do?!

[Her voice is one of distress but it sounds a little... off. Like maybe she's forcing it a little. Estelle isn't necessarily the best actress after all. There's a pause as if she's thinking, then continues.]

Oh! I know! Maybe Brave Vesperia can find it for me!

[At first, Yuri's a bit alarmed by this. Sure, Estelle doesn't necessarily need her blastia, but if that thing fell into the wrong hands, then--

... Wait a minute.

Sensing something a little weird, Yuri replays the entry.

.......

Something's up |: But for now, he'll just ignore it and play along.]

Maybe we could. Do you remember around what area you might've dropped it, Estelle?

[voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

Oh, Yuri! [Thank goodness?]

Yes, it fell into the river.

[voice]

[trueknight]

That's a little ... vague. You know what part of the river? Like, what houses were around, or anything like that?

[voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Yuri why you do this?]

Um...

The bridge near house 14 I think?

[voice]

[ps3pirate]

[Patty hears that odd tone in Estelle's voice and realizes exactly what she's trying to do. Like Yuri, she'll play along, but her acting skills are on the same level as Estelle's, if not lower. Is she doing that on purpose? Maybe.]

Brave Vesperia, you say? That amazing guild that takes on any odd job you may have?

[voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

Yes, exactly!

[Patty you're awesome.]

[voice]

[ps3pirate]

You're in luck, little lady! I happen to be a humble member of Brave Vesperia, you see!

[voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

Yay! Can you help me?

[markofthewise]

Is that really a job for Brave Vesperia?

[He has no idea what a blastia is, but either way, this is kind of demeaning. Even for them.]

[childofthefullmoon]

Yes, of course!

[markofthewise]

Really? Because 'finding lost stuff' seems kind of lame for us. What's next, rescuing cats stuck on roofs?

[Filtered to Sokka only]

[trueknight]

[... Yeaaaah, he figured Sokka would say something like that. So after a while, he decides to quickly put together a filter.]

Actually, this is the kind of thing we did back home. Not to mention that blastia can be dangerous if someone else finds it and figures out how it works.

[ ... ]

Also, remind me to never put you in charge of public relations for the guild.

[Filtered to US only]

[markofthewise]

[You're joking, right? So instead of building stuff, Brave Vesperia was dedicated to the noble calling of... mundane favors. Oh the humanity of it all.]

How dangerous are we talking? Because I think the only people who have a chance of finding it now are the fish. And seeing as how I like to fish, they may or may not have a vendetta out for me.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[... That voice of distress sounds a little weird to him.

But hey, it's something that doesn't have to do with building, nice!]

Where'd you last see the blastia thing?

[voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Oh hai Luke! <3]

In the river near house 14.

[voice]

[fabrecation]

The river?

[Aaand now Luke's a little unsure. Certain feelings are attached to that location, of course, but in the river? So they'd have to dive down to get it?]

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

What's Brave Vesperia?

[at least one person takes this message seriously...]

[voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

[She's glad you asked Sophie!]

Brave Vesperia is a guild that helps people by taking on odd jobs.

[Because they never DID figure out what they wanted to do.]

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

[guild?] Like on the inn message boards?

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

[While the tone of the request sounded strange, she couldn't ignore a request either. Though she had to wonder why she was asking Brave Vesperia specifically rather than the entirety of the village.]

Where were you when you realized it was gone?

[voice]

[childofthefullmoon]

Oh... well I dropped it while on the bridge near house 14. It... fell into the river.

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

The bridge where the river splits? [Oh Estelle, couldn't it have been anywhere else...?]

[Action: Later That Day]

[childofthefullmoon]

[It's early in the evening around 7PM or so that Estelle has finally finished her cooking for all members of Brave Vesperia who had gone looking for her blastia. It had been raining a good portion of the day, and the longer they were away... and the more it rained, the more worried and terrible she felt. She really does hope they are okay.

She's held true to her promise though, and the interior of House 12 smells like a bakery. The sweet aroma of baked goods permeates the air of the house, enough to possibly make one old man nauseous. Regardless, it's enough food for her housemates, the additional three people, and then some. There's so much food she had to find and set up another table in the main living space.

There's Mabo Curry, some seafood for Patty, and a few other random dishes. Plus a cake, a few other sweets, and... practically a mountain of cookies in one large bowl. Just for you Sokka. Someone's been -really- busy. And she may or may not have gone into town for some help.]

[trueknight]

[Eventually, Estelle (and anyone else in the house at the time) will hear the sounds of the front door being opened, and multiple people coming into the house. The person leading them inside being Yuri, who ... really does not look thrilled.

Not mad!

Just. Not pleased. Not even a little.

He does have Estelle's blastia in hand, though, so there is that!]

... We're back.

[... That's about all the enthusiasm he can muster right about now. Although, it is nice to smell food after all that searching, he can admit that.]

[[OOC: Just as a note, in the interest of making things easier on everyone, there's no thread order for this, so feel free to tag in and branch off into side conversations and the like /o]]

[fabrecation]

[And seeing how Luke doesn't even realize there's food, as he's unable to smell it, he's just displeased entirely. Not mad! Just not pleased.

At least he got to learn to swim a little better. Just a little.

He shakes one foot out and gives a rather flat look off to the side.]

Anybody got any extra towels?
