First Quest - Recuperate from your time in an Imperial press gang

[lightnovelexperiences]

1 - Elysium - the first two weeks

[A fox beastkin woman - red-haired, broad-shouldered, wide-hipped and three-tailed, in her flowing dress of blue and her tunic in magenta and gold - has been limping into the Elysium shops and cheaper restaurants. She’s been getting medicines, ice packs, takeout and tea.

She doesn’t limp, exactly, but she moves with the painful care of the injured. Corsair scuttlebutt has it that there was a recent outlander labor camp rescue: could she be one of the freed slaves? She seems friendly enough in her manner, smiles and bows and apologies, even if her talk is terse in the way of folks who don’t quite know the language...]

2 - The Vault - the second week

[A fox beastkin woman - bright of eye, deep of concentration, driven as if by an airship’s etheric core - is in language classes, magic classes, history classes, watching combat and exercise classes carefully with a thermos of tea as she grinds her injured side against an ice pack. She cheerfully practices reading, writing - conversation:]

I’m still learning the language. Talk with me?

[…who’ll take her up on the offer, or tutor her in history and etheric magic?]

3 - Elysium and The Vault - Late week 2/early week 3

[A fox beastkin woman - fleet of foot, mighty of arm, with an almost palpable aura of inner strength - walks without pain or fear through Elysian streets, practicing martial arts in the park slowed by a factor of 10 to resemble ballroom dance and offering for modest coin to pop stuck joints and massage sore muscles. Would anyone care to watch her practice? Challenge her skills? Take her up on her offer of healing?]

4 - private to Maomao and to Egret

[A fox beastkin woman - familiar to the Elysian champions she’s contacting, if in passing - has relayed a message. She wants to meet with them, briefly, at their convenience. Maomao for a medical follow-up - but both with an idea of how to serve the Corsair quest for freedom…]

[Musse, for her part, has dressed fairly unobtrusively in sailor attire, her long green hair carefully woven into a much shorter-looking style. She appears to have no particular expectations of this conversation one way or another and is mostly along for the joyride, so to speak]

[2mao]

[ A glance back to Musse, and then eyes on the door. ] Well, no use in waiting around.

[ With that, Maomao opens the door to Deedee's room, glancing about before stepping aside to allow Musse to enter, and will follow her in and shut the door as soon as she does so. ]

Ah, hello, Maomao -

[Wait. This isn’t just Maomao. Maomao is moving to, deferentially, let a superior in and then falling in place behind her.

And the superior is lady Musse Egret.

What had Deedee gotten herself into?]

…hello Lady Egret. I was expecting you both, but not both at once.
