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!

you know what lets just pretend it's filtered forever because taking out the Re: is annoying

[trueknight]

[Wait until you hear about their legendary status as warehouse organizers ........]

You know that bracelet I've always got on me? That's a blastia, too - and it's also what lets me use those artes of mine. [... Wait did he ever explain artes to Sok-- whatever, he'll explain that if he asks.] In the wrong hands, someone could use the one Estelle dropped to do some serious damage.

fine, whatever, jeez!

[markofthewise]

Are we talking "beat people up" serious damage or "destroy the village" serious damage? Because if it's the first one, we can just beat that person up after they find it for us.

[This would probably be called neutral jing. Bumi is in his corner on this one.]

|D

[trueknight]

If they master how to use it? Somewhere in the middle, possibly leaning toward the latter. Especially if they learn magic artes.

[He can see a Tidal Wave arte easily doing some serious damage, especially if cast directly on stuff ... not to mention any fire magic ones.]

I'm not exactly looking forward to tracking this thing down, either, but having someone else find it might just cause more problems than they're worth.

[markofthewise]

[A groan. Gawd, people. You and you magic.]

We'll never find it. This could take days. I mean, maybe if we got Keimi on this, we might be able to find it. But this is impossible. It doesn't even float.

[trueknight]

Don't remind me ...

[Not that it's the first time they would've done something similar to this, but still ...]

Look, let's just look along the shorelines, all right? It might've gotten caught on a rock, or something. If not, we'll ask someone who can handle this.

[markofthewise]

Fine. So I guess that means breaking out the canoes before it gets dark.

[trueknight]

[There's a pause on Yuri's end, followed by a sigh.]

... Guess so. I'll go ahead and tell people which rivers and lakes to check.

[... Maybe it'd be best that he doesn't mention that Estelle definitely did this on purpose, not knowing how troublesome it'd end up being. Ever.]

[markofthewise]

[If Sokka found out it was on purpose, he may very well have to practice revenge. They can go look for her when he tosses Estelle in the river.]

Fine. I'll just. Get the canoes ready.
