“ Well,” Naoki begins, seemingly pleased to be asked, “The short of it is such that I have things planned. Big things, dangerous things, for which I intend to enlist the assistance of Marshals.” She explains this as “I came with the intention to speak with you and with Jun of the Celadine about taking part in said endeavors. However. It’s been a while now, and evidently, Jun does have better things to do, as she isn’t here.” With a breezy gesture, Naoki highlights the distinct lack of Jun in the room. Catching herself, Naoki pulls back a step and softens her tone. “And, while I don’t necessarily mean to imply that whatever she’s doing is less important - she has many legitimate responsibilities I respect, I’m also not going to wait around here all day.” “ So,” she continues, “I'm going to speak with you now before proceeding with the day, and meet with Jun another time. It’s probably for the best to speak to you both individually in any case.” |

"Okay," she said, clearly interested but now no longer smiling. She sits back a little in her chair now, wondering what duties could possible be more important than a summons from the Empress. She figured she'd be in lots of trouble if she ever just ignored a message from Naoki. Otherwise, she was beginning to warm up to the ultimate figure of authority in the lands, given all the direct hospitality she'd received.
"So," she said in a businesslike tone that conveyed her growing personable comfort in the Empress' presence, crossing her legs casually, "..what is it?"

Opening her mouth, Naoki makes as if to speak but pauses. Shuts her mouth, opens it again, and hesitates, considering how best to word things.
Apparently having decided, she begins, “... Living in Medan and through any knowledge, you’ve picked up after the fact, how much do you know about the legend called, ‘The Gems of Coreria’?”

"No, not much..." she replied, though found herself all the more fascinated. "I never got to talk about those kinds of things... I was mostly just a pawn in the games, though I tried to avoid people after hours. I did hear one thing, though.. that one of those gems might have nearly killed me.. they put one in a great big tower, and it destroyed my home and I almost died. I remember a horrifying noise, a blast that knocked me down, I was covered in dust and when I climbed out, I was surrounded... But I never knew anything about Croeria."

“Mhmh…” That sort of morbid, negative tone isn’t precisely what Naoki would have liked to lead into the conversation with, but there isn’t any stepping around it in this case.
“The story goes such that once, where Meridian lies today, there was a kingdom called ‘Croeria.' On the whole, it was wealthy and prosperous, due primarily to its usage of four exceedingly powerful gemstones. The magic users of Coreria were able to utilize the gems to do such things as enrich the soil, manipulate the weather to benefit their crops, and grant themselves amazing boons of nature. Merely possessing the gems also served to deter all but the most foolhardy of attackers. In such a condition, Croeria thrived for an indeterminate but significant number of years.”
“However," continues Naoki, "It all fell to ruin very quickly when some manner of a catastrophe involving the gems occurred. I’m inclined to think the catalyst was an attempted coup or corruption within the kingdom, but don’t take my word on that. Suffice it to say that Croeria no longer exists. There are survivors, the most notable of whom is our own Duchess Camilla; there are probably other, some artifacts, and perhaps ruins, though I’m not qualified to speak to the extent of those.”

"Whoa..."
Lamina was in awe of the idea. In this world of magic, anything was possible, and she knew this was no fanciful tale... In part because she had witnessed firsthand the power of a single gem. She began to wonder if the possession of that gem alone was enough to leverage the entire geopolitical catastrophe that had resulted in her imprisonment and torture. Lamina was therefore completely immersed in the subject of this discussion, and leaned forwards in her chair again.
"Well I...definitely know they exist... Do you know where they all are?"

Naoki shakes her head. “Not quite.”
“We were able to recover the gem the Goraians were using without incident - that was the gem associated with fire. Later, we found that the earth and water gems were quite close by, and relatively easy to obtain, meaning that we now possess those three out of the four,” Naoki explains, skipping right over the portion of the story in which the gems had been hidden to prevent further misuse, as well as the part where both had been acquired through deals wherein noncompliance would have been detrimental to their guardians’ continued state of living.
Maintaining her momentum, Naoki continues, “Aaand, very soon, within the next few days, we will discover the location of the fourth.”

"Oh... Wow! Where do you think the last one is?" She asked with a hint of excitement. "What will happen when you find all four? Oh wait wait wait! Is that.. Is the last one, my gift??"
Her eyes lit up with hope...and perhaps just a bit of devious hunger.

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Suddenly Lady Naoki's mind would fog up, and she would hear a familiar voice echoing in between her ears that wasn't hers.
Oh god my duodenum.
Alden's face would briefly flash in her mind's eye. Once again Naoki would hear Jun's voice, but it would seem more distant and not directed at her. Instead, it was directed towards the ghostly Alden.
Ugh, thanks.
And then there would be darkness and a feeling of foreboding. If Naoki focused hard enough, she could make out the shape of a humanoid monstrosity, some sort of sand creature which towered over the ghostly forms of Jun, Alden, and another woman Naoki might not recognize. There were more voices as well.
Alden: New plans?
Jun: Well, my first instinct-
Unknown: Holy shit.
The daydream-like images might have engrossed Naoki further if they weren't suddenly interrupted by one last voice. This one, once again, belonged to Jun. But unlike the others, it was sharper, clearer, and definitely directed straight at Naoki's person.
"TALK LATER!"
With that, the visions would come to a screeching halt. Naoki would also find that her telepathic gem hand been in a state of full glow, and was now fading back into inertness.

Lamina was unaware of what Naoki was hearing in her mind, inadvertently adding a bit more noise for her in the background.
"Oh, you know....like.... things," she replied, "I just thought it looked really cool. But being Empress of my own place would be cool... I could rule, from the safety of a great tower, and..uh.. make people bring me chocolate. Or else!"

Jun’s intrusion comes only partially as a surprise to Naoki. Jun still hasn’t quite gotten the hang of it, the whole telepathy thing. Her technique is sloppy. In the past it’s been interesting and often amusing, to have a brief look at Jun’s thought processes. In this case, Naoki finds it less amusing and more… concerning, perhaps.
Naoki offers no reply. To do so would likely prove distracting and by extension hazardous, though Jun does receive a wish of good luck.
But in a more immediate sense, Naoki is having a conversation. Despite the distraction, she’s able to follow reasonably well and evidently finds what Lamina has to say amusing, chuckling a bit to herself.
“Well… We’ll have to see about that another day,” Naoki says, with that same teasing inflection.
“But-!” She continues, still focused on the topic, “It goes such that the four combined are stronger than the sum of them all, and considering how strong even just one is… I believe all four would equate to power the likes of which has never been seen in The Overworld post-cataclysm.”
A pause for effect.
“Or the Hellscape,” she adds as an afterthought. “That’s why it’s so very, very, very important that it is we that obtain the fourth gem, as opposed to any other party.”

And Lamina knew there were people out there who wanted the gems... People besides herself, of course. Some of them were bad actors, and after Empress Naoki helped her get free of their clutches, this seemed like a good way of helping her in return.
"So... We need to get them all together... And you want me to help look for them?"

“And I’d like you to be there when we go to get it,” Naoki clarifies.
“It’s almost certainly going to take time to take the gem from wherever it’s hidden, and I suspect that during that time, we will be attacked by others who would see themselves with it. Who, I can’t say. Anyone both greedy and foolish enough. Without knowing the location or the potential aggressors, I can only plan but so much, but it’s my thought that when the time comes, having you around would be for the better.”

At Lamina’s mention of a favor, Naoki quirks an eyebrow. Says something about how Lamina perceives the nature of their relationship, but Naoki isn’t sure what.
“In the next handful of days, as soon as we’re able. … The odds, I feel, are low. Moving quickly is easy, getting to it shouldn’t prove an issue. Rather, the issue lies in the fact that when the ritual reveals the location, it will be revealed to everyone. Very visibly. Most probably involving a lightshow of some sort.”
“So it will be a matter of securing it against who, or whatever comes to take it. ... To try to take it,” Naoki corrects herself.

"Good," she said, with a serious note, feeling the small tug of grand ambition aligning her interests with Naoki's to see this all through effectively. "I will be ready. I wont let you down," she assured, though she quietly hoped she wouldn't have to battle anybody for the orb.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

“Excellent.” Pleased to have that out of the way, Naoki clasps her hands together and stands.
“Now, unless you have any other business here, I think we can move forward. There’s a carriage waiting outside.” Naoki picks up her book.

"A carriage? We going right now?" She asked excitedly, and is ready to follow her out either way, unless she is ushered out to go on her own.

“Why not?”
A rhetorical question. Opening the door, Naoki begins to move down the hall toward the exit.
“We’ll likely be out for the whole day. You won’t need them, but if you’d like to bring your weapon, coin purse…” Naoki trails off, waving one hand in the air. The details are unimportant.
“I’ll be outside.”
Today’s carriage is, relative to other options, somewhat mundane. Not the armored beast used for long-distance travel, not the Royal Carriage with its frills, but just a carriage. A lovely carriage, undoubtedly, one worthy of Her Majesty’s use, but just a carriage. The horses are similar and all but entirely unexceptional. The only thing that betrays significance are the spotless uniforms of the carriage attendants and the sense of excellence they carefully cultivate.
Once Naoki and Lamina are inside, the carriage sets off to parts unknown.
