What: monthly log for may
Warnings: butts 


1. Fae Moon Mirror. 

[The disappearance of the moon is concerning enough. Alphen can only hope things will get better in Reverein before they get worse. He's really wishing for the best. Trying to lend a hand to those in need is exactly what needs to be done in a situation like this. He begins searching for shards of the mirror but unfortunately his luck isn't very good. His sense of direction isn't that great. Alphen can be found suspiciously on of one of the treetops if you can manage to get up there.] 

You can see so much from up here, but I still don't see anything that looks like a mirror shard. 

[He can hear some shuffling and moving around the area so he remains alert. Maybe he's not alone after all. ]  

How are things with you?

2. Flower Blossom Owls.

[Alphen is used to being around an owl or two but these ones seem a little different from the ones back in his world. They're covered in pink blossoms. They've been friendly so far so Alphen tries to call out to them a few times but it's not working. After some time he figures that calling out to them normally might just be scaring them off instead. So he attempts to lure the owl out.]

I think these owls are hungry. Would you happen to have any more fruit on you? I used up my last one a while ago. 

[He speaks to anyone who may be nearby with the owls perched up in peoples flower beds and crops. It'd be better if the owls could find a home with the trees and settle there where they wouldn't get hurt.]

They keep coming back for more food and they're really friendly. I might want to give them a name. 

[Do not name the owls.] 

3. At the treehouse.


[Alphen's is getting really tired of the moldy laundry piles back at home. His brows furrow until he sighs into a frown. He thought that burning older clothes that can no longer be used might free up space and give him peace of mind.]

I thought I might try helping with some of the chores. 

[Maybe by incinerating moldy clothing would help, yeah. He doesn't want to burden Kisara too much with all the cleaning.]

Burning stuff is one way to get things done. Are you any good at cleaning?

I used to be a soldier and I fought in a war back in my home in Dahna. The people back there called me the Blazing Sword of Calaglia.

[He's got some kind of knightly presence to him after all gone and said that. ]

I'm still a swordsman so I can use my strength to protect what's important. What about you?

[lestray]

So you're some blazin' swordsman, eh? [She looks him over for a moment.] Never woulda guessed you were that tough from a look at ya.

[Although he does seem fairly... gallant? Diligent? Something like the knights she hears of from stories.]

As for me, I used to be a diver. O' pockets. But I've been trainin' to be a detective instead. Solvin' mysteries an' catchin' bad folks. Stuff o' that sort.

[refire]

There are plenty of people here who are stronger than me. I tried asking around once and there were so many fighters with a decent amount of experience.

[ He isn't the only one down here who can fight it seems. ]

You want to become like a detective? I can really respect that. You have a dream you want to achieve. I know you'll get there, Gina.

[lestray]

So you ain't so tough after all. [That did feel like a bit much so she concedes a little.] But maybe you could 'old your own after all.

[She smiles at his support.]

Thanks. Glad ya think so. Not everyone'd think I'd 'ave a chance as a detective, but I'm gettin' there! An' I'm gonna out-detective that 'Erlock Sholmes one day too!

[refire]

I just do what I can. Sometimes we have to fight to achieve greater goals. I could never stand to tolerate someone who abuses power though.

As long as you keep striving to be your best you can do anything you want. If I may ask why did you pick a detective?


[ is there a reason why she choose this one in particular? ]

[lestray]

Then your 'ead is in the right place. There's too many rotten adults out there 'o use wot they got for no good.

[She nods along, glad Alphen doesn't approve of such people at least. ...And when it comes to talking about herself, she tugs at her hat a bit. She'll try not to go into a lot of detail, feeling unsure about sharing too much of herself.]

It just seemed like the best fit for me, really. Got taken in by a good one who showed me the ropes. I got a bit of a likin' for solvin' mysteries, an' takin' down all them rotten coves is real appealin' too!

[refire]

Right, we can't let ourselves become rotten to the bone like that. I could never forgive myself if we started sinking that low.

You had someone look after you? What were they like?

[Alphen can understand what that experience is like. He was taken in by Zephyr and started learning from there. He finds Gina relatable in more ways than he expects. ]

[lestray]

I wouldn't neither. Now make sure ya keep yer 'ead on right so ya won't 'ace to worry 'bout that.

[So far, he doesn't seem like a bad adult. But he does keep prying! As he asks his question, she folds her arms and looks off to the side.]

Yer full o' questions, aren't ya? 'E was... 'E's an alright guy, 'e is. 'E could really get on yer nerves an' all, but 'e still got all the know-'ow of a top-notch detective.

[refire]

Well, yeah. There's a lot that I still don't know. I'll do what I can to answer any of your questions.

[ He nods firmly. ]

There was someone I knew back home who was a hero to everyone. His name is Zephyr. Without him I don't know where I'd be. I think I understand where you're coming from.

[lestray]

You think that, but ya don't know.

[She says somewhat defensively as she looks away. She feels too vulnerable talking about Gregson, and so she's put up a guard. She's definitely not ready to get emotional in front of a new apparent friend! All the more reason to keep the focus on him.]

...Some kinda big-time 'ero, eh?

[refire]

I guess so.

[He leaves it at that. Alphen's just going for idle chatter anyway. Being around Gina and just getting to know her better is enough. ]

Yeah, that's right. Zephyr's the one who inspired everyone into becoming better people. He fought so that we would know what true freedom is like. I want to try being a leader like he was.

Do you think I can do it?

[lestray]

True freedom, eh? Sounds like a decent bloke to me. [Fighting for freedom is something she definitely respects and roots for, even if she's become part of the law.]

Wot, do I look like I can tell the future? Pretty sure ya can be wotever ya wanna be. Ya just gotta be it! [That's the closest thing to a pep talk she can manage.]

[refire]

The same goes to you too! If you want to be someone great in the future you can do it.

[He's going to encourage her with those same words if he can. It's good to hear every once in a while!]

[lestray]

I guess I can't argue wiv that one. [Even if she feels embarrassed having that thrown back at her.] But I don't need to 'ear it. I already know I'm gonna outdo the great detective one o' these days!
