Welcome to Gaia! ::

To give Vivien a satisfactory answer to her question, you must roll three six-sided dice. The total of these three rolls will determine your success at the favor, and what it is you learn from Vivien in return.

1-4 = Total failure, she is unsatisfied with your answer and vanishes into thin air. You receive no reward.
5-9 = You give a factually correct but simplified answer. She is frustrated and does not want to speak to you. You receive no reward.
10-17 = You answer her question well enough to receive one piece of information, which may be duplicated in other favor threads.
18 = You answer her question and provide extra details about what's happening, and will receive one unique piece of information that may not relate to this meta.

You may only roll this favor once.

Please quote shibrogane when you're done for information dispersal!

Shun Kuroda 25/25 | Answering

While he had been sauntering about the halls of the manor, Shun managed to stumble upon an odd girl who had a question for him.

"...You are in the manor for the Court of the Sorrowful One," he stated plainly, blinking. Apparently this didn't please the girl as she stormed off.

Weird.

Nathaniel Parrish - 25 / 25 - here we go


The girl looked strangely translucent and entirely unfamiliar. Nathaniel paused beside her, trying to act at least sort of knowledgeable, even if he wasn't knowledgeable whatsoever.

"This is called the Court of the Sorrowful one, I think," he said kindly to her, offering a smile. "It's, er, a ball, and you're in one of the gardens, I do believe. It's rather lovely out here, wouldn't you say?"

"Hell," he answered matter-of-factly, "or specifically ze Court of ze Sorrowful One. It is also ze setting of someone's demise. I wonder how you got in if you don't even know where you are..." He mused to himself, eyes on this latest addition. "I would be careful about zat mask, zen."

Marcus LeCroix 25/25 2Spooky

Wine glass now drained, Marcus had begun his aimless wanderings once again, this time in serch of something stronger. He wasn't nearly drunk enough to be calm or have his nerves more steady. If they could be at any rate. He'd picked at his sleeve all night, and whatever magic kept it from fraying was certainly resilient.

Going to the gardens to try and gather his ever pessimistic thoughts that swirled with trying to make sense of it all and ground himself in the reality of what was going on, he certainly didn't think he'd run into someone... else. If they were someone else.

Part of Marcus wasn't surprised at the woman's appearance. Another part of him felt a stone cold rock drop in his gut. There were magical beings, what was a ghost among magic?
"Hello." He smiled, doing his best to look like he was slightly disturbed at the sight of a translucent woman in front of him.

"You, well, we're at a ball if the outfit wasn't a giveaway. For the tithe. Court of the Sorrowful one and whatnot. Bit of a wash really, I mean the food's decent and there are free drinks, but someone is to be murdered tonight. Not exactly traditional in a human sense." He gave a shrug, looking at her and wondering how a ghost, (spirit? Elemental? They were translucent and it was starting to freak him out a bit), got in.

"How did you get in without a mask? We were all supposed to come with one." How'd she get in at all really. Maybe the court was haunted. Great. New theory. Marcus was certainly doing himself no favors.

[25/25 | LEILA]: yup, that's a ghost alright

"Well... you're in friendly company... at a real shitty party that's gonna become a murder scene," Leila fumbled. I guess that means she'll have company soon, she thought, darkly. "If you're familiar with a town called Ashdown, that's more or less where we are, but... shifted? So my home isn't to far away, but I'd have to 'shift' back to get there."

This was unsettling and sad. What kind of details were important here? She should have asked.
