Rory is nervously talking to some guards who are in the shrine

Aspen is enjoying the cool morning air

Efflore is getting used to the new uniform of the bar he's working at, apparently there's a butler/maid theme. He's currently dressed in a suit with a light flower design on the shoulders

Bunker is eating a pretzel from a stand

Richard appears behind him and leans forward "Hello my dear officers. I would be happy to help you." He says, putting on a dazzling smile as a hand clasps on Rory's shoulder.

The guards give him an odd look, "This is?" They ask rory, who responds, lightly leaning into Richard, "My um... co-keeper more or less. He helps" He says, fidgeting a bit, though the guards nod and turn to Richard, "We are rather sorry to bother you, but we've heard some odd rumors."

"And they are?" He raises a brow and swiped his thumb over Rory's neck, assuring him he is okay.

The shrinekeeper shivers a little, but seems calmer. The guard sighs, rubbing the back of his neck, "That the shrinekeeper at this establishment has been colluding with demons to scam the locals and condemn them," He says, "We know they're likely baseless, but we figured it'd be good to check on something like that."

"Demons!? Oh my! Never once have I seen a demon nor devil in here." He said, tilting his head, feigning surprise. "I can assure you that this little bundle of joy is doing his utmost to help this community! Not harm it!"

The guard chuckles and nods, "Of course. You wouldn't mind if we took a small look around tho? Don't need the community to keep false rumors spreading"

He nods and steps aside. As soon as their backs are turned, he flicks his hand and any sigils, markings, anything really is covered by an illusion (DC: WIS 22 to see through it)

(Auto fail since no wis bonus)

They take a look around the shrine, opening a few drawers, rory holding onto Richard's arm, before coming back to the pair, "Well, seems everything's in order. Apologies for the scare," He says with a slight nod

He nods and shows them out. He shuts the door behind them and his smile falls away, his eyes turning red in rage as his wings unfold. "The nerve they have, interrogating you.." he says and calms down, walking and kneeling down to match Rory's height. He traces the line of his jaw with his thumb "Are you alright?"

He nods softly, a blush that a mixture of anxious and embarrassed, "I'm o-ok. It's normal to be concerned about rumors..."

"Mn, still. They are based on nothing and they found 'nothing' " he said, sighing.

"S-still, people are spreading rumors," rory says softly, gripping his sleeves, "W-what did I do wrong?"

Richard picks him up and hugs him tightly "Nothing. You haven't done a thing wrong ever."

Rory returns the hug, "But good people aren't hated by good people...."

"You alright?"

Ban sighs. As they walk he decides to ask a question. "So why don't you take off the mask if you don't mind me asking?"

He nods "Worried about you, you look tired and sad.."

"Hm? Oh, it makes sure my immune system isn't compromised. I have delicate health unfortunately. I can only eat and drink liquids because solid things make me throw up and common diseases like a cold can kill me."

"Thats just how i am.."

Ban looks at her, pity in his eyes. "Thats no way to live..." he murmurs.

"I know.." he hugs him.

"But I still love my life even if it is compromised. So I will do everything I can to live it!" She chirped.

Phoenix cries into their shoulder, shuddering

"Thats...thats a good way to look at it."

Jacks runs his back, holding him tightly.

"I suppose." She chuckled and raised on of her hands from underneath the sleeves "The reason I wear the bandages is because they are keeping my bones from breaking just because of a hug. My bones are brittle, my immune system is not working, my stomach rejects food. One could say I'm on the way to death." She chuckles lightheartedly.

Rory is nervously talking to some guards who are in the shrine

Aspen is enjoying the cool morning air

Efflore is getting used to the new uniform of the bar he's working at, apparently there's a butler/maid theme. He's currently dressed in a suit with a light flower design on the shoulders

Bunker is eating a pretzel from a stand

Richard appears behind him and leans forward "Hello my dear officers. I would be happy to help you." He says, putting on a dazzling smile as a hand clasps on Rory's shoulder.

The guards give him an odd look, "This is?" They ask rory, who responds, lightly leaning into Richard, "My um... co-keeper more or less. He helps" He says, fidgeting a bit, though the guards nod and turn to Richard, "We are rather sorry to bother you, but we've heard some odd rumors."

"And they are?" He raises a brow and swiped his thumb over Rory's neck, assuring him he is okay.

The shrinekeeper shivers a little, but seems calmer. The guard sighs, rubbing the back of his neck, "That the shrinekeeper at this establishment has been colluding with demons to scam the locals and condemn them," He says, "We know they're likely baseless, but we figured it'd be good to check on something like that."

"Demons!? Oh my! Never once have I seen a demon nor devil in here." He said, tilting his head, feigning surprise. "I can assure you that this little bundle of joy is doing his utmost to help this community! Not harm it!"

The guard chuckles and nods, "Of course. You wouldn't mind if we took a small look around tho? Don't need the community to keep false rumors spreading"

He nods and steps aside. As soon as their backs are turned, he flicks his hand and any sigils, markings, anything really is covered by an illusion (DC: WIS 22 to see through it)

(Auto fail since no wis bonus)

They take a look around the shrine, opening a few drawers, rory holding onto Richard's arm, before coming back to the pair, "Well, seems everything's in order. Apologies for the scare," He says with a slight nod

He nods and shows them out. He shuts the door behind them and his smile falls away, his eyes turning red in rage as his wings unfold. "The nerve they have, interrogating you.." he says and calms down, walking and kneeling down to match Rory's height. He traces the line of his jaw with his thumb "Are you alright?"

He nods softly, a blush that a mixture of anxious and embarrassed, "I'm o-ok. It's normal to be concerned about rumors..."

"Mn, still. They are based on nothing and they found 'nothing' " he said, sighing.

"S-still, people are spreading rumors," rory says softly, gripping his sleeves, "W-what did I do wrong?"

Richard picks him up and hugs him tightly "Nothing. You haven't done a thing wrong ever."

Rory returns the hug, "But good people aren't hated by good people...."

"They are jealous, envious, dark inside. They want what you have because it makes you happy."

He takes a moment to wipe his face on his sleeves, "I haven't really been happy like that for a while... well, unless you're here." He smiles, "Like a guardian angel" He laughs softly

Richard huffs "I am no angel..." He says and folds his arms "Just obsessed."

"With what?" He asks curiously, lightly tilting his head to a side

"You alright?"

Ban sighs. As they walk he decides to ask a question. "So why don't you take off the mask if you don't mind me asking?"

He nods "Worried about you, you look tired and sad.."

"Hm? Oh, it makes sure my immune system isn't compromised. I have delicate health unfortunately. I can only eat and drink liquids because solid things make me throw up and common diseases like a cold can kill me."

"Thats just how i am.."

Ban looks at her, pity in his eyes. "Thats no way to live..." he murmurs.

"I know.." he hugs him.

"But I still love my life even if it is compromised. So I will do everything I can to live it!" She chirped.

Phoenix cries into their shoulder, shuddering

"Thats...thats a good way to look at it."

Jacks runs his back, holding him tightly.

"I suppose." She chuckled and raised on of her hands from underneath the sleeves "The reason I wear the bandages is because they are keeping my bones from breaking just because of a hug. My bones are brittle, my immune system is not working, my stomach rejects food. One could say I'm on the way to death." She chuckles lightheartedly.

Phoenix cries for a while longer before collecting himself

Ban sighs and kneels down infront of her, looking her in the eyes. "I know a way that could help you..."

Jack runs his fingers through Phoenix's hair gently, rubbing soothing circles on his back.

She blinks, confused. She tilts her head.

Phoenix lets out a sniffle, head in jacks shoulder.

He rummages in his pack before pulling out a small canteen. "This has water from the fountain of youth. It could cure your ailments.."

"It's okay, deep breath in and out please." He said gently.

She looks at it and shakes her head "I do not want to be immortal. Living and dying is what gives a spice to life after all! To live forever would make me sad." She said.

Phoenix does so, still shaking.

"I...i could distill it...make it so it only cures ailments."

"Thank you." He murmurs into Phoenix's shoulder.

"I am okay, I swear to you I am." She chuckles and continues onwards.

"I-im sorry..."

Ban sighs and puts away the canteen, continuing to walk with them. After a while ban decides to try to break the silence. "So where did yo-" he is then cut off as a fast moving shape slams him into a tree.

Efflore is getting used to the new uniform of the bar he's working at, apparently there's a butler/maid theme. He's currently dressed in a suit with a light flower design on the shoulders

Bunker is eating a pretzel from a stand

Outside the bar, a loud thumping and mechanical ticking noise can be heard.

Mauric runs up to them. “THEY HAVE PRETZELS HERE???”

He looks out the door curiously, not having any customers at the moment

"E-eep! U-um, yes. There's a stall a l-little that way." She points a finger down the road, "They have cheese ones too"

*back, was taking a timed exam*

A cadaver collecter with reading glasses on and holding many broken banners is observing the locale with interest.

“Oh cool! Sorry for surprising you.”

"Um... hello. Can I help you?"

"It’s... alright." She smiles lightly

“Yes!” The giant corpse-covered automaton says politely to him. “I was wondering quite where I was.”

“I’m Mauric. I’m a chef, currently staying at the Inn hereabouts.”

"Uhm.... welcome to the Fire Blossom." He tilts his head

"Oh, I'm Bunker."

“I may need slightly more specific information. Am I near a center of civilization? Any imperial dwellings, perhaps?”

”And what do you do? For a living, that is.”

No news is good news…

I'll lay a white rose on the cold earth, knowing it that it has not claimed your soul.
