Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
I assume if there was anything relevant, we'd have been informed by now. My character certainly knows to check on all sorts of things I don't, so I presume if there were more details on the defenses, we'd have been presented with that information... Or am I assuming too much?

Vassarious gives a shrug with her wings and smiles.
She says in a soft and innocent voice... "Well, I've never been one to shy away from a good sneak." |

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
OK, so I assume you'd prefer we both infiltrate. Regardless, we ought to prepare to blend in. Even if one of us goes over as an envoy, it may be necessary to make an escape and blend in with the masses.

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
They don't have much experience working with magic outside of their skerry: few skerries do. The do have some unknown scrying magic, and its connected to the temple -- but even then they won't have experience with deep shapeshifters like V. They won't have technological abilities able to catch it either.
Halcyone researches points of appearing like a local. It depends on where you are and what you're pretending to be, but she picks up some points especially appropriate in the capital. You are expected to nod, bow, and make way for people of higher rank, and to ignore those of lower rank. Rank has a number of clothing cues associated with it. If you're pretending to be from outside the capital, being sloppy with this etiquette is usually appropriate, though being too sloppy can get you suspected of being a rebel. Do we have an answer on how you will be going into the skerry?

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Vassarious will look into the etiquette to be prepared for posing as a priest or supplicant as may be needed.
I think it's best if we spit up, as Halcyone seems intent on infiltration. I think there is much to be learned from the reaction of the priests when going through official channels and that if there is a process in place and an ancient (if loose) alliance, bypassing the protocol would be dishonorable and potentially offputting to our hosts.

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Where do each of you wish to be placed?
V seems to want to be placed in the temple room. Halcyon, do you want to start in the imperial city or closer to the rebels? V researches how to pass as a priest. Face Man! should allow the dragon to blend in socially there.

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
I'll go for closer to the rebels; we can try to meet in the middle later.

Alfio, the librarian, is keeping tabs on your research, and catches that you intend to split up. "Do you have a plan for keeping in contact? We can get you radios that will help with that... or at least, communicators that look like radios... You both know how to use a radio?"
