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!

[... okay, maybe he was too hard on her. Hmm.]

Have you tried retracing your steps?

[childofthefullmoon]

... It fell into the river.

[markofthewise]

[There is a long pause.]

... well, I guess you need to get a new one.

[childofthefullmoon]

I... can't.

[Maybe this wasn't such a good idea?]

[markofthewise]

[A sigh.]

Does it float?

[childofthefullmoon]

I don't think so.

[It is made of metal but it might be light enough to get carried away? Who knows. She never actually tested this.]

[markofthewise]

So. It's at the bottom of the river. Rolling away.

[How are they supposed to find that!? Maybe if he had Razette's scale still, he could swim underwater and find it like he did his boomerang. But this is a tall and ridiculous order.]

[childofthefullmoon]

Probably.

[Have fun with that Sokka.]

[markofthewise]

What does it look like?

[childofthefullmoon]

It's purple and gold with a red stone. Looks like a bracelet.

[markofthewise]

When you say 'looks like a bracelet', you don't mean that it's actually bracelet sized, do you?

[childofthefullmoon]

Um...

[Enough said.]

[markofthewise]

[So. That's a yes.

You can't see it, but there's an audible facepalm that can be heard.]

[childofthefullmoon]

[... And she can hear it too.]

Are you okay?

[markofthewise]

... I've been better. [Frown clown to this. Man, he needs a girlfriend again. Then he can claim, "Sorry my girlfriend wants to make out, gotta go."] Where did you drop it?

[childofthefullmoon]

The bridge near house 14.

[She knew she could count on you Sokka. <3]

[markofthewise]

[Facepalm again.] Of course. Right before the river forks.

[Thanks Estelle. Couldn't make this easy. Had to make sure they had to search BOTH branches of it.]

[childofthefullmoon]

I know you can do it! I'm counting on all of you!

[Yay pep talk?]

And I'll have cookies for you when you get back.

[Cause that makes it all worth it, right?]

[markofthewise]

Yay. Cookies.

[Said without an ounce of enthusiasm. In fact, let's call it anti-enthusiasm.]

[childofthefullmoon]

You don't like cookies?

[What is this. Everyone likes cookies. Right?]

[markofthewise]

Lots of them. Make lots of cookies.

[He's going to need more than he carry to make up for this.]

[childofthefullmoon]

Okay! Thank you so much!

[She'll get to that right away.]
