you knew!"

You tell Aesthete Joli, " there's a harlot in my manse."

King of the Night, Ishant Nightshade says, "An old friend?"

You yell, "That makes no sense."

A lascivious harlot yells, "My paps said he hired you out of New Celest."

The door to the in slams shut.
Kismet Fulcrux.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Filling the room

depicted an intricate clockwork of shining metals. Perched here is a bench of
silver entwined wires studded with moonstones. A statue of Reiha stands here,
memorializing her noble spirit. A marble archway stands here, elegantly arcing

This dracnari harlot's skimpy clothing leaves little of her curvaceous body to
the imagination. Her top is a strange arrangement of strategically placed palm
tree leaves and sheer lace, which barely covers her well-endowed chest. Lengths
of silk form her gauzy skirt that falls around her long legs. Less pronounced
than those of the average dracnari's, from a distance her tan scales could be
mistaken for the supple skin of a human. Her lips are fixed in a seductive pout,
and her glittering eyes signal that she would try anything once.
A lascivious harlot appears to lack strength.
She weighs about 120 pounds.
She is loyal to the Dracnari Desert Nomads.
You cannot see what a lascivious harlot is holding.

You see a lascivious harlot yell, "My paps said I learned my lack of volume
control from you."

Aesthete Joli says to you, "She could be good for business."

King of the Night, Ishant Nightshade says to Joli, "I think she more appeals to
my wife's sister."

You say, "She's too chubby."

You see a lascivious harlot shout, "Come one come all, one time affair! Mother
and daughter reunited to work together in the family profession!"

A lascivious harlot says, "I'm not chubby, just pregnant."

Pointing a thumb at Ishant, A lascivious harlot says, "It's his."

Joli blinks.

You stare implacably about yourself.

You exclaim, "...Ishant?!"

Ishant gives a lascivious harlot the once-over, eyeing her suspiciously.

A lascivious harlot glares angrily at you.

A lascivious harlot says, "Whatever his name is."

A lascivious harlot says, "I don't ask stupid questions."

A lascivious harlot says, "I just take the money and run."

You say to Ishant, "Did you impregnate this woman who thinks she's my daughter?"

King of the Night, Ishant Nightshade says to a lascivious harlot, "I've never
met you, least of all been in Celest."

A lascivious harlot exclaims, "Just like you taught me!"

Joli yawns suddenly and mightily.

Joli shakes her head.

A lascivious harlot says, "Paps wasn't a Celestian, just mums."

A lascivious harlot says, "Come on, woman! Quit playing games."

You sense the piercing eyes of Kismet looking upon you.

You say, "I don't know you, you damn whore."

Drae tells you, "You know, a lascivious harlot just walked into the Aetherplex
and called you her old mentoress while complaining that you didn't even stop. It
was so stunningly strange I thought I'd inform you."

You say, "And Kismet doesn't know you either."

A lascivious harlot exclaims, "You taught me everything I know!"

You say, "Kismet doesn't lie."

A lascivious harlot exclaims, "Fine! Forget you! I'm going back to my shop!"

A harlot tosses a sultry look over her shoulder before swaying out to the north.

Joli blinks.

Aesthete Joli says, "Wow."

You yell, "Wrong way."

Ishant blinks.

You say, "Wait."

You say, "My lounge?!"

A lascivious harlot yells, "Is it, really?1."

You say, "Is her shop?"

Joli begins to follow you.

You yell, "THAT'S NOT YOUR SHOP!"

into her body. A lascivious harlot gasps from the shock of the cold water, the
very breath knocked out of her.

A harlot tosses a sultry look over her shoulder before swaying out to the north.

Nightshade.

the floorboards works for me."

You say, "Eat it! Turn it into bird barf!"

Joli ponders the situation.

Ishant nods his head emphatically.

Aesthete Joli says, "I could take it?"

With your mighty index finger extended, you poke Ishant.

Joli tells you, "Ah, I'll stay.. At least this is entertaining.. Thought about
putting it into the pool."

Realizing you just killed the dirtiest harlot in the camp, the Nomads forgive
your enemy status.

You exclaim, "Stuff her corpse into the chest!"

if reaching for something untouchable.

A wanderer says, "Turned the wrong trick probably."

A wanderer says, "Takes after her aunt."

Sipelus says, "Go away. I cannot protect you, you bloody idiot, do you
understand that? Leave, or they'll kill you and everyone will pretend not to

You say, "Bye!"

A wanderer says, "Definitely."

You say, "And no."

Jinx shyly nuzzles Pectus, before placing a soft kiss on her cheek.
Pectus inches bashfully over to Jinx and nuzzles him tenderly.

A wanderer says, "Yep."

A dejected travelers leaves to the out, giving you a final pleading look.

Sipelus says, "Reiha."

You say, "She was a Treia, a Kalas, a ri`Tou."

You frown and say, "Not -your- family."

A Fraught Pectus Dawneye, Unhinged Musician smiles broadly and says to Jinx,
"Look! I have my very own harlot!"

Pectus waves about the corpse of a harlot energetically.

Pectus shifts her eyes suspiciously from side to side.

You shout "Oi!" at the top of your voice.

Sipelus says to you, "I will have words with you. Alone."

Aquamage Jinx Dawneye, Geyser of Insight whispers to Pectus, "Careful, I'm sure
she has social diseases."

A pinpoint of brilliant light forms in the air then expands in a flare of ivory
and gold into the glorious form of Eventru, Crown of the Exalted.

A Fraught Pectus Dawneye, Unhinged Musician says, "Eww.."

A wry smile spreads across Eventru's face.

Pectus curtseys respectfully before Eventru.

Nichoda looks up into the air for divine inspiration.

Nicholo blinks.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says to you, "Are you ready to return to the
Light?"

Nicholo tilts his head curiously at Eventru.

Pectus grabs protectively at the corpse of a harlot.

Jinx bows respectfully to Eventru.

You cease wielding a coral staff in your right hand.
wield staff

You put a coral staff into a parafilament purse.

Nicholo grabs protectively at you.

A Fraught Pectus Dawneye, Unhinged Musician says, "She's mineee.."

Nicholo vigorously shakes his head in adamant disagreement.

Nichoda murmurs softly to himself.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Or shall We continue sending wayward whores
and wanderers looking for you on misinformation."

Sipelus says, "My Lord, she hasn't been read for a hundred years, now."

"Shh!" Jinx says to Pectus, putting a finger to his lips.

A wry smile spreads across Sipelus's face.

A Fraught Pectus Dawneye, Unhinged Musician says to Jinx, "But I want to keep
the harlot.."

You say to Sipelus, "You've missed much!"

Sipelus says, "Did I now?"

You say to Eventru, "My family in Glomdoring would hunt me down if I left."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "She was a member of Our Order not long
ago."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says to you, "Celest will protect you."

Aquamage Jinx Dawneye, Geyser of Insight whispers to Pectus, "We'll discuss it
in a bit, hun."

Eventru nods His head sagely.

Nicholo grabs protectively at you.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Well. Munsia will."

Sipelus says, "I have family in Glomdoring."

Jinx nudges Pectus suggestively.

Pectus rolls her eyes at Jinx and splurts, "Pfffft."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Her bite's as rabid as her bark."

You frown and say to Eventru, "Am I supposed to feel safe?"

You say, "True."
Spinner Nicholo Nightshade, Initiate of Night's Secrets says to you, "She'll sit
on us..."

You say, "But she'd rather kill me first."

Nicholo whimpers like a wounded puppy.

Pectus tells you, "Except she'll give you rabbbieeesss."

You stick your tongue out and say 'Ack.'

You nod your head at Nicholo.

Nichoda glances askance at Nicholo.

You begin to wield a fickle finger of fate in your left hand.

Eventru nods His head sagely.

Pectus tells you, "What else do you think that white stuff in her mouth is?
Certainly not something male."

Sipelus says, "She is a drifter, my Lord, never one to be put in her place by
divine hands."

Jinx looks about himself suspiciously.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We can put her in her place."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "All the way on a small rock on the Astral
Plane."

Sipelus says, "I do not doubt that."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Far from the rest of the Plane."

Eventru gives you the once-over, eyeing you suspiciously.

You peer at a transplanar cubix unscrupulously.

Sipelus says, "Yet her heart is her own, I fear."

Pectus ponders the situation.

Eventru begins to wield a spear of golden steel in His left hand.

Eventru ponders the situation.

Nichoda looks up into the air for divine inspiration.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "That can be resolved."

A wry smile spreads across Sipelus's face.

Sipelus says, "I've been through this a thousand times."

You reach out through your bond with Mischief, the Mutant Kitty and summon her
from the stables. You sense her answering your call.

Sipelus says, "Not her fleshy heart, my Lord."

You say, "Lord Eventru, did you send Sipelus after me?"

You say, "I was wondering why he was being unusually nice."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says to you, "No. Should We have?"

Eventru begins to wield a vibrant sunflower in His right hand.

Eventru points a vibrant sunflower at you.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We shall collect your heart and head with
this flower if We must."

You say, "It looks rather frail."

Sipelus says, "And what good would that do, my Lord?"

Jinx gives Pectus a peck on the cheek.

Eventru shrugs helplessly.

A look of determination crosses the sleeping face of Pectus.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Dry them for Our mantle?"

Pectus opens her eyes and yawns mightily.

Pectus stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

Eventru wildly jabs a vibrant sunflower at you, and you smoothly step away from
the blow. He stumbles forward as He fails to strike you.

Aquamage Jinx Dawneye, Geyser of Insight says to Pectus, "You ok?"

Eventru wildly jabs a vibrant sunflower at you, and you smoothly step away from
the blow. He stumbles forward as He fails to strike you.

Eventru wildly jabs a vibrant sunflower at you. You are pricked in the gut and
bleed slightly.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Frail?"

Nicholo scratches his head in confusion.

In agony, you say, "My guts!"

A Fraught Pectus Dawneye, Unhinged Musician says, "My flowers are weapons?
Lovely.."

Pectus presses her fingertips together, arching them slightly. An eerie grin
lights across her face as she murmurs softly, "Sooon..."

You to leave your prey be for a moment."

Eventru ponders the situation.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Right now?"

Sipelus shrugs helplessly.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Very well."

On a floating rock amidst the astral currents.
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. There is an aetherways portal
here.
There are no obvious exits.
Exits?
You are transported by the power of the Divine.

Nicholo suddenly appears, looking bewildered.

You look up into the air for divine inspiration.

A pinpoint of brilliant light forms in the air then expands in a flare of ivory
and gold into the glorious form of Eventru, Crown of the Exalted.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Keep her company?"

Pectus giggles happily.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We need to go speak with Sipelus."

Flares of ivory and gold surround the glorious form of Eventru, Crown of the
Exalted as He disappears in a fanfare of light and rapturous warmth.

Spinner Nicholo Nightshade, Initiate of Night's Secrets says, "Where in the..."

A Fraught Pectus Dawneye, Unhinged Musician says to you, "How hard did the
flower hit for anyway?"

You say, "Cubix!"

You make a beckoning motion to no one in particular.

You say, "Half my health."

Nicholo begins to follow you.

You say, "More than half."

Pectus begins to follow you.
