The Network: May, An Inauspicious Arrival

The Watches Everyone who arrives in an unorthodox way and eventually shows up at the Coven for 'orientation', will receive a strange, watch-like device compliments of the Coven and Parliament. Miss Nessie or one of the welcome wagon crew will give characters a run-down of how to use the various functions and they are encouraged to test them out for themselves. It would be good for them to get in touch with their fellow Mirrorbound, of course! Fourth wall characters will not be able to make their own posts in the communities, so they may use this post to make "network posts" of their own by top-leveling. The log post is right over here.

[ Relief spreads across his face as someone responds. Sure, it hadn't been the format he'd been aiming for, but Caduceus was just glad he'd managed to make the device work somehow.

Lifting the watch up at a better angle, getting a good look at the purple tiefling before him, smiling brightly with a nod of his head. ]

Wow, well how neat is that. Just look at you in there- Ah, Caduceus, sir, Caduceus Clay... Very new to new things such as this but eh, glad I'm not alone.

[ molly chuckles lightly, for the first time, feeling like he’s finally found someone he can connect with. caduceus’s manner of speaking is cool, calm, and it seems to have a similar effect on mollymauk. ]

you’re a firbolg, then? you’re the first i’ve seen. you wouldn’t happen to be from exandria, would you?

[eyesofthegrave]

[ Caduceus' passive perception is near supernatural, and so that little chuckle gives away way more than it should. He can already tell the tiefling is feeling overwhelmed by all this, that he's eased just by Caduceus' voice and presence and well, doesn't that just make the firbolg feel good. ]

As it happens, I happen to be both. An Exandrian Firbolg actually... First and probably last of my kind you'll meet.

[ He can't help noticing just how fancy his new friend looks so forgive him if he stares a little. ]

Gosh y'know, I'm really glad you answered. It's always worth making friends, no matter where you are, Mister um?

[ they’ve barely exchanged two sentences, and molly already feels like he’s known caduceus his entire life. he feels comfortable with him, like he could relax, spill his secrets and know they’re safe. and fuck yeah, he’s exandrian! molly smiles at caduceus through his watch, and truthfully, he doesn’t know what to say now. ]

oh! apologies. i was so excited to meet someone from my home, i forgot to introduce myself. i’m mollymauk tealeaf, fortune teller by trade, but— ah.. i suppose i left my cards back in wildemount. i couldn’t agree more, mister clay. i think you’ll make a fine friend, indeed. would you care to join me for a drink? i’m not sure where that would be... but i imagine we’ll find out soon enough, anyways.

[ Caduceus was very good with secrets, he was honest to a fault, probably one of the most trustworthy members of the Mighty Nein... Though that's not really saying a lot. Those large ears of his had heard many a trouble and his low voice had calmed many a grieving soul.

He's smiling, just enjoying hearing Molly talk, it was nice knowing they were from the same place, made it feel a whole lot less lonely. ]

Tealeaf, you don't say. Now tea is something I can really get behind. If you're a tealeaf then you're good people.

[ The name rings a bell, but he's far too excited at the prospect of drinking tea with a new friend. I mean, what else would someone with a name like that drink?! ]

Well, Mister Molly, I would love to join you for a drink. I'm sure we can find each other now we've, well, found each other.

[ Caduceus ponders a moment, the expression almost makes his facial features seem longer- Before he smiles and clicks a finger. ]

Hold me up something if you will, something on your person.

[ The firbolg was going to locate object and see if he could find Molly that way. It would be much easier than trying to give him directions and the two of them together should be able to find some kind of watering hole together. ]

[ tea... truthfully, sounds wonderful. molly hasn't had a good cup of tea in a while; his poison of choice is usually an alcohol of some kind, but right now, he thinks he might throw up if he tries anything close.

so... yes. tea. tea sounds perfect.

molly isn't sure exactly what caduceus is asking at first, but then it occurs to him that he's likely casting a spell, so molly reaches to untie a yellow ribbon from his horn, one that he had taken from the festival grounds where he still sits, trying to make sense of where he might be. he's leaned against one of the colorful poles, but the grounds are stark and empty, waiting to be swept away for next year. ]

will this do? [ he asks, holding the yellow, floral ribbon where caduceus can see it. ]

[eyesofthegrave]

[ Well then, Molly is in for a treat! Caduceus has just the person for them to drink! And maybe some interesting fruit rind to add a little zest.

Honestly, Caduceus' experience with alcohol wasn't exactly a pleasant one, but he would have gladly suffered the terrible tasting stuff if it was with his new friend.

As for the object Molly held up... It might not work as well as he'd expect, on account of him having never actually been up close to the item. Still, he scans everything that he's able to see on Molly's person. He's not exactly thinking about it, but technically he's been close enough to the other's corpse to be able to locate him. ]

Yeah, Y'know I think that such work just fine.

[ After a few moments the pink firbolg smiles and starts to move around. ]

Looks like you're over this way. Well then Mister Molly, I should be with you in a short while. Isn't that just neat?
