Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Vasarious can't find anything effecting them yet... but he also notices they have a sweeping "wake"... spotting them with divination will be easy.
They walk down the right side of the road, and head to one of the wine-shop with a clientele made of craftsmen. Its dark, loud, crowded, and inviting. The inhabitants seem to be a mix of many ethnicity, but mostly Greek and Thracian. What forms are you (both) currently wearing?

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Its not long before people are engaging you in small-talk: where are you from? what brings you here? which ship did you come in on? how was the weather?
V notices a woman hanging out near the door, watching them. She has the myriad doo-dads of a fortune teller.

Any questions to ask them or things to do at the wineshop?

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Vassarious remains, uncharacteristically, a bit more quiet and laid back when making introductions...
They alert Halcyone to the fortune teller with a nudge and a gesture, and proceeds to approach the woman. "Hello there. Can I buy you a drink? You have the look of a seer about you... What does your sight reveal as you peer our way?" If the conversation seems potentially productive after some small talk, Vassarious will reveal: "I am on a journey, but have only a hint of a destination. I seek the path to speed fates will be done." "Can we share an oath to keep each other's secrets as we seek this path?" |

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
I try to get a feel for the political climate in the region. Does the average man on the street like Tryrathian and the regime he's set up (I imagine this will be as much a matter of what people say as they won't say.) Is the border with Bel much of an obstacle to civilian traffic or can one pass through easily enough? I also ask them what they think about fate.

Fate is rather expensive, they say. A matter of kings, seers, and witches, and they'd rather stay out of its way. A visit to a neighborhood witch every few moons is a good way to keep up your fortune though... which seems to be a less cosmic version of fate. Quote:

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Vassarious orders the soup for two and considers the fortune teller. They sit with the woman and center themselves, and try to reveal nothing to the woman's eye while listening to what insights she may have to offer.

She eats her soup. The core of the message has already been given: Quote:
She gives the message in a dramatic form, and it seems that the wording is not merely phrasing she has put around the fortune, but intrinsically part of it. Do you have anything specific you wish to ask her?
