last rites and the end of all things

Who: The little lordling and those surrounding his last moments
Where: Archades
When: Late night
What: That remains to be seen

Some time has passed since the snake assailant found Lord Larsa and still he has yet to stir from his slumber. He breathes, though quite shallowly, but will neither speak nor open his eyes, no matter what any might try for him. Several have remained around his bed at all hours, keeping a constant watch over his progress, or lack thereof. After the first week, hope began to fail for his recovery. Now hope is nearly gone. For all intents and purposes, he is near death's door. Or perhaps he stands on the threshold, where one small push might be enough to see him soaring across, never to return.

Whatever the case, those closest to him are preparing to summon a priest for the final rites. May the Lord Larsa's soul find respite and peace.

Faram.

Characters: Adelle and Ramza
Where: Rabanastre, Dalmasca
When: 12th of Skyfrost/March
What: Having gotten things situated for the Clan Gully members who will be doing extended work in Nalbina Fortress throughout the riots and done a healthy bit of helping and public relations work herself, a weary Adelle returns to Rabanastre to catch an airship back to Jylland and runs into another clan leader!
Warnings: N/A

The Gate Crystal flourished and chimed, a loose coat of Mist falling off Adelle as she immediately began stepping from the plaza into Rabanastre proper. Four days wasn't a long stay unless you were in something like a war zone and then, then it felt exponentially longer, but especially if you were a leader attempting to offer assistance, quell anarchy, establish good public relationships, and generally keep people from applying stabs to not only other people, but to yourself and your people as well. Tense? Yes, the situation in Nalbina was very tense, which was exactly why, after making the decision to hold to her departure for her unwillingness to leave Jylland for any long period given Rozarria's seeming interest in expanding, she had made sure that a senior member of the clan was left in charge with strict orders to keep in touch.

Those orders would be well heeded, she knew, and that was the only reason she didn't give to the itch to turn back and stay a while longer. It wouldn't look good either, if she did that. If there wasn't trust between clan members, there wasn't trust between anyone, after all, and she wouldn't compromise the trust she placed in members she deemed capable of leadership unless the situation absolutely required it. That was what a good leader did, right? Cid had assigned people leading tasks before and trusted their judgment when he needed to be elsewhere and for tense situations. One just had to be smart about it and she had been very smart about it. If she was needed, she would return. It was as simple as that.

Heaving a sigh, the young leader reached to wipe her brow with an arm. Right. Maybe she would hit the Sandsea before she caught an airship back. If nothing else, she could use a drink about now to better help her sort her thoughts and what better place, what with this whole poisoning business edging toward resolve?

Characters: Adelle and Yuffie
Where: Rabanastre, Dalmasca
When: 8th of Skyfrost/March
What: On the way to Nalbina Fortress to assist for the riots there and ideally make a name for themselves for their efforts, Clan Gully moves through Rabanastre. Adelle runs into a rather talented ninja along the way!
Warnings: N/A

Moving through Rabanastre was supposed to be a quick and easy step on the way from Jylland to Nalbina Fortress and, for the most part, it had proved to be exactly that save for certain quirky little instances. The worst of these was when someone had needed to stop to use the bathroom and everyone had decided then and there that it might be a good idea to tell their leader they hadn't eaten despite having had ample opportunity to do so before they had boarded the airship and again during their flight, but really, what was there to be done? Adelle knew full well that walking into a tense situation on an empty stomach tended to end poorly, so she had divvied part of the funds reserved for lunch and shipped everyone off to find a place to eat with a stern warning to drink from their own flasks and not refill them with Dalmascan water.

Really, sometimes it felt like she was dealing with children, a thought she shoved aside as she moved through Dalmascan streets. One hour was the time limit and everyone was to meet at the appropriate Gate Crystal. She trusted they would; they knew the importance of their mission in NAlbina Fortress was twofold -- to offer a helping hand, yes, and to work at gaining a foothold and establishing their name in that country and abroad for their efforts. If people abroad knew of them and had a positive idea about them, they'd be more receptive to the Jylland-based clan when it came to marks and work.

Minding her thoughts and her purse, the hunter turned sharply to head up the way toward the Sandsea. Even though she had eaten, she herself could do with some refreshment before they got down to the nitty gritty. Better make it quick. Maybe say hello to Tomaj and give the board another look-see.

Characters: Adelle, Ceodore, Open to Ursula
Where: Goug, Jylland
When: 23rd of Blackfrost/February
What: Adelle is still in Goug attempting to track down leads on a friend and winds up running into an acquaintance instead! Whoops?
Warnings: N/A

No luck. Well, Adelle supposed that was debatable given her run-in with tall, blond, and flirty yesterday. A gem, that one, but not the gem she was looking for. This gem was much shorter, covered in fur, possessed of a curious head of hair that bequeathed a pompom, and an impressive musician if ever there was. He had also proven unusually unresponsive to her letters and was, for all intents and purposes, elusive. Vanished? She didn't want to think that. Didn't have any proof to support such a thought, so she continued her search, intent to ride out her lead until it fell through. If it fell through.

Again, she weaved through the bustling streets of Goug, where she stood rather taller in comparison to its much shorter inhabitants. There had been word since her arrival for her picking of the local brains of some traveling musician that sort of matched Hurdy's description at one of the pubs. That was as good a place to start as any and she was quick to make for that lane.

Characters: Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca and two very important guests
Where: Dalmasca, Royal City of Rabanastre, Royal Palace
When: Day
What: Ashe receives two unexpected visitors

Ashe is well aware that a small portion of her time has been requested. She is also aware of who has made such a request, at least by name if not by face. When he arrives, actually when both arrive separately, she’ll be in one of the audience chambers. As always, while there might not constantly be a guard present, one or two will be within reach, ready in case something should happen. Ashe stands by her chair, an ornate dusk-colored desk in front with cups of water should either the queen or her visitor of the hour wish to sate their thirst. across the room stand two other chairs, separated by a desk of similar fashion. On either side of the chairs are windows, with pale green drapes hanging by their sides. A golden chandelier hangs from the ceiling and a door sits on either end of the room. The room itself may not be much to look at, but it will certainly serve its purpose.
