Get down with the sickness [open]
Who: Caren and you!
When: After Intro and beyond!
Where: Caissa, Capablanca
What: Catch all with Caren, including More clue #4!
Rating: None until things happen
A: Independent Action
[For those who were interested in tea or various supplies, this was the place to go to! Caren has been doing brisk business, and has been hiring the local help, as well as some of the local heroes. There is one thing that might be remarkable, other then the fact that it's clean and quiet: the small sign saying that there is currently no infamous algae in stock.
If asked, Caren will shake her head, if not her employees:]
It's too likely to give an allergic reaction. I can't sell something that'd give someone an adverse reaction. Same with anything grown in Petrosian.
[Otherwise, she might be willing to recommend tea to drink in the store, supplies that can be used for alchemy, tea to be taken away, and suggestions for future products. Or she might be cleaning or something.
Who knows? Anything could happen in Independent Action.]
B: Rook Problems
[She's had some problems with her Sound powers before as a Rook before but...usually it's inflicted on everyone else but her. Loud noises, things turning silent.
Instead, Caren finds herself silenced by her own power. She tries to speak. Tries to even scream at one point, and all that comes out is the tiniest of sounds. Like a kitten squeaking.
It's good to know that her mana is working, but this is frustrating. And likely a way for some people to get revenge. For all that she works, and can be found in various places...she's herself.
Just silent.
Which drives her nuts, even as she works, and in the halls of glory, she can be found abusing the practice dummies. She has to exhaust herself somehow.
Because This Is Rude.]
C: Clue Four
[This could be just after she's left the manor, or later on. If still in Capablanca, she's likely to be found outside at a table at a cafe or a restaurant, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
But seeing a hero or someone else approach, her arms lean against the papers, obscuring what's written.]
Did you want to join me?
[Her eyes sweep over the hero, her gaze distant. Distracted. Her mind is half elsewhere.]
I'm willing to pay for a drink or a meal, if you have information to share.
[And only if they have information on the investigation. Well...unless you charm her.]
D: Wild card!
Job stuff, catching up with Caren, learning at Pigeon's Blood or training, it all goes under this label here! If you have ideas, go ahead and pm me or ping me on plurk!

Suddenly the lack of words is not helping anymore.]
no subject
...by writing the word with her finger onto his hand. This may not go well.]
no subject
Please don't mind the hesitation. He's trying hard. He really is.
He...isn't sure what is going on here.
So he offers the water again? Default mode: When he doesn't understand...take care of the other person first.]
no subject
She takes in a deep breath, and she tries to speak. And...oh! A noise comes out. A very small noise. It must be wearing off!
...but it sounds like a kitten's squeak.]
no subject
He blinks some more then waits to see if maybe she's trying to speak.
Because...that must be it?]
no subject
heal...
no subject
[It takes him a second to figure out what she said. When he does he blinks a few times.]
...I'm...okay.
no subject
no subject
[He looks at his arms again. They are pretty bruised but he's really had worse.
That and he doesn't know if his sword will heal himself. He's never tried before. Not to mention he doesn't know self healing spells.
This is what happens when someone is completely selfless, Caren. They learn how to take care of others before they learn to take care of themselves.]
no subject
Not that it will be easy as he's a knight but....well.
Give her a moment of pacing away and frowning Shin-Ah? She needs to figure this out. Or just get her voice back. Either one.]
no subject
But he is okay. He's sure of that.]
no subject
She stops her pacing, after a minute or two, takes in a deep breath, and comes back. She'll have to counter her dampening with amplifying. She wants to be able to speak. Magic, as she tells others, is a matter of will.]
You need to know how to heal yourself. I can heal you.
[Barely there but...better? Then before at least.]
no subject
[He supposes he should learn to heal himself. It's just that others always happen to take priority. He fidgets a little then nods.]
It could...wait. If that helps.
[The healing him part. They are just bruises and she barely has a voice.]
no subject
Caren shook her head, and crossed her arms under her chest.]
Maybe not. I'll teach you when my voice comes back. But if you go out without healing, you're likely to make it worse.
no subject
I'll be careful.
no subject
If you see someone else who could get hurt? I doubt it. You're too nice, Shin-Ah.
no subject
He...doesn't understand.
And the head tilt says so.]
no subject
You don't care about how much you're hurt, so long as everyone else around you is fine. You look out for others more then yourself.
You can't even think of a mean thing to say when I've obviously scared you. Repeatedly.
[UUUUUGH.]
