SESSION TEN - Foodies

[Mubistar, 18th day of Sigen]

While the foodies are off getting meals to bring back to the detective agency, Captain Murphy is left alone in the building, with only Lorenzini to talk to. In an attempt to make some conversation, Lorenzini tries to talk about their shared species, both being tritons. Trying to paint a picture of where Murphy in specific might come from, and why they seem so averse to using the magic they were born with, but with not a whole lot of luck. He offers to craft something to syphon off the magic they refuse to utilize, but Murphy shows little interest in accepting any sort of help, and leaves little else to converse about until everyone gets back.

Everyone has their dinner from Huck's Waffle House, and things wind down for the night, including (but not limited to) childhood trauma from both Edenberry and Ross, Edenberry being on their own with nowhere to go. How Edenberry's age works, Ross talking about under-sea abortion, how some species of fish just, ejaculate into the sea, and sperm whales. As well as how writing underwater works.

Once things die down from the strange conversations, and everyone spreads out to their respective sleeping spots. Miguel takes a moment to talk to Edenberry privately, letting her know she's more than welcome to stay with him. Edenberry is absolutely delighted, and promises to be clean, and offers to pay rent, to which Miguel turns down, her help in his current case, and her company alone has been plenty enough payment as-is.

[Latastar, 19th day of Sigen]

Night falls upon Duskmire and soon morning follows, bringing with it a dark stormfront and a knock at the door of the Detective Agency.

Its another client! Seems word about the new detective has been travelling fast around town.
A middle-aged woman by the name of Zofia Fil dressed very modestly has entered the agency, claiming to have lost an important item, an heirloom of sorts that she had let a friend at the college borrow, but it seems it got lost on his watch. So she's come to report it as either missing or stolen, and needs it back as soon as possible.

Upon describing the emblem, the group realizes - oh shit, its the thing they have hidden inside the fish!

It's shortly after the woman leaves, that Murphy and Yak arrive to the scene, the group then begins trying to formulate a plan to try and get all the information possible within the week timeframe they were given.

Lorenzini also interjects, his best guess by the sound of the woman's voice, and his detection of magic trailing from her, has lead him to believe that they were visited by one of the leader figures of the cult, and that she likely now knows that Lorenzini is here.

Wanting to keep their informant out of harm's way, part of the plan they devise is to escort Lorenzini to Captain Murphy's ship, let the crew keep him occupied and keep him hidden from potential danger.

Meeting the pirates proves very entertaining, much to Lorenzini's dismay. But especially exciting for Edenberry and the first mate, Stormcloud. As the two get the chance to hype about being awakened animals.

Once Lorenzini is dropped off and everyone's had their fun hanging out with the pirates, the group decides to head back to the college, but they decide to stop by another restaurant before hand to get breakfast.

What will happen when our foodies get to the college? How worn out will Lorenzini be after his day of cleaning a pirate ship? Find out next session!
