A - Late Night Walking

[It's late. Probably later than it needs to be, but it's not like Flynn's paying that much attention. He's patrolling, his usual last activity of the night before there's some semblance of sleep. Not that he sleeps much. Last one to bed and first one up, modelling the behaviours of a good Knight and Captain. Not that he's in charge here.

It's a weird feeling, going from the top to essentially the bottom.

Not that he's trying to think about stuff like that. He's instead trying to learn the town. Elah at least. Getting an idea of where things are from the Paladin Headquarters. He knows he's got a lot to learn.

Certainly none of this has to do with anxiety or anything. Not at all.]

B - Lonely Lighthouse

[The Village is empty.

It's never a good feeling. It's quiet. Too quiet, some might say.

But Flynn can't come up with an explanation as to what happened. Magic stuff like this doesn't come easily, and he doesn't have Rita or Witcher here to tell him the basics. Instead, he's got pulsing seaweed and just himself to rely on. And maybe a pocketful of snacks for any dogs he comes across.

He stares at the docks, the seaweed, the water. Usually you're supposed to follow the tracks.]

Where do I even start?


C - Wildcard

[ Lune is doing something similar, not in terms of patrolling, but just in terms of trying to get to know this place better. Night is always when she's been able to think the best so it's logical that she's chosen to come wander at night. Besides that she just can't sleep, too many things weigh heavily on her mind, things she'd like to not be left to think about.

Which is what brings her to the streets of Elah, jotting down notes in a notebook as she wanders. Which means she's not quite paying attention and might just bump into poor Flynn if he's also not paying attention. Either way, she drops her notebook to the ground. ]

Oh, merde! [ She does her best to try to catch it but it just tumbles down to the street, landing open on notes on the current MANTA requests. ]

[radiantdragonfang]

[He probably should have been paying more attention. It's a bad example to lose focus. But it's hard to not let his mind wander, just a bit. Trying to figure out how he found himself in this situation, and how to get out of it. While he knows he can rely on everyone back home, he also needs to be there to help everyone.

There's probably more to that thought but he is brought back to reality.]

Oh, I'm so sorry! Let me get that for you.

[He'll reach for the notebook.]

I should have been paying more attention. It's not like me to let my mind wander like that.

[Thancred has brought his own supplies, prepared as he always is, but when he arrives to investigate this particular mystery, the keepers at the lighthouse are kind enough to inform him that there is another, a noble looking lad they say, who's already headed into the town to see what's to be seen.

And so, it is fresh footprints the man in the armored trench coat follows to the docks alongside the mysterious shuffling prints left by those who seem to have gone to the water.

Flynn's words before he speaks echo a sentiment Thancred has known far too many times before.]

Small, I would suggest. Up for a mystery?

[radiantdragonfang]

[There's a bit of a relief in Flynn's eyes that he's not alone and he greets the other with a nod.]

That would probably be the best place, yes.

But that is why I'm here. And you as well, I assume?

[rathertalented]

I couldn't very well turn a blind eye to an entire missing village, could I?

[Well, in all honest, one could, but not Thancred. He's also loathe to avoid a mystery, but the atmosphere here, what clues he's been able to glean simply on his trip here from the lighthouse? There is something quite troubling afoot and these people are likely in very real danger.

He does raise his hand in greeting, though, before launching into an inquisition. It's time for an introduction.]

Thancred Waters. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[radiantdragonfang]

Flynn Scifo. The pleasure is mine.

[Yes, he is very relieved to hear that. And to know that he's not the only one who couldn't leave this matter alone.]

So, I guess we should get started? I was thinking of examining the seaweed to start.
