Ma’arlys looks Jareb up and down and then inclines her head outside. She leads Jareb out of the admin building, and says, ”I don’t know your game, angel, but I’m in no mood to play it. If you’re being genuine, I will take the help. People here seem to like you, despite you being yourself.”Jareb wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 6:16 pm Jareb raises an eye brow at the proceedings. Something about them felt off, even his ally Deezy seemed more crazied than usual. Seeing Serria go off like a hot hooker took the cake and the angel decided now was the time to go a different direction. He leaned in covering his mouth, as he had once seen ball players do, quietly telling @Kuikku ” I have my radio. Comm me if things turn for the worse. I need to check on something.” He gives Deezy a stiff smile wishing he could tell her it would be ok. He then as softly as he can gathers Gift in his hands and turns to his quarry: The Grackle named Ma’arlys. The time for foes is at an end. I must let her do what she will if I am to unravel the mysteries of this trial.
The Angle approaches the female grackletooth with baby softly cooing in one hand, his sword scabbered at his hip, and his other hand stretched out in friendship. Softly not wanting to startle her he says simply, ” I am sorry. This baby was meant for you, someone heroic, and someone worthy of being her protector. I confess knowing she was meant for you made me want to be a better person. She and you helpped me see the troubled path I had traveled down and eventually find the good path.” Jareb stares her directly in the eyes, ” Now again I need your help. I ask for it. My and your calling is not here at the trial but uncovering what happened to your ranger. Somehow I feel the two to be connected. Will you help me help you? “ Jareb pulls gift to his lips and kisses the child softly, ”No matter your answer if you wish to claim the title of protector of the child I will give her over. Not that I am tired or think I am ill equiped.” Jareb looks at Gift with eyes of mirth and hapiness, ” I love her, and wish her to be with the one she was meant to be with.”
No matter the outcome if Jareb is able to catch @Toshiro 'Cybermonk' eye he signs: Ranger!OOC Comments
She smiles at the baby, though. ”Let’s not talk about Gift now. She seems happy enough for today.”
Okay, Let’s See What You’ve Got!
For Jareb (and Toshiro should he choose to follow, or anyone else who wants to ditch the trial), how do you go about looking into the dead Ranger? Narrate your actions and make any appropriate rolls (tracking, investigation, and streetwise come to mind, but you could use something else). I’ll jump in with Ma’arlys and any NPC responses, and we’ll see if you can catch (another!) killer.
