"Can you tell us when, and perhaps, how this all started? When did the council first become aware of the alien magic in Avelyssia?" Lurel asks.

 

'She's lonely... none of her kind are still living. It's not likely that she would be politically motivated to help Anromainyus, but what if he promised to unite her with her dead people? Perhaps there are even some of them among the undead,' he wonders, not entirely happy how suspicious he has become.

[Malchik]

She stares at you non-plussed. "What alien magic?"

 

Siffli only knows of it because of you and Anima.

 

"If you mean the King's madness, it is very annoying. Were he to die, Siffli would be able to act on his behalf. As it is we don't know what to do. There are decisions that need to be taken over colony expansions and the arguments beteen the Corvidians and the Falconians."

 

She stops then says surprisedly "They seem to have stopped for the moment."

[Abramul]

OOC: She's a bug?

[Malchik]

OOC> A dodo.

[ThetaOrionis01]

"Could you tell us more about this conflict?" Lurel asks, and frowns. "How can you tell that they have stopped?"

 

 

 

//OOC - I assumed the 'mindprobe' involving the coronets would have told their interrogators about the alien magic?///

[Malchik]

OOC> moot point. You would have to have been linking the alien magic to something other than Mara's tomb and I thought that came later. In case it was my mistake it can be assumed that they accept alien magic as being whatever disturbed Mara's tomb, including putting a key there. Your question by implication involves a wider effect about which they have not made any connection.

 

"Well some colonies are always quarrelsome. When the king lost his mind they saw it as a threat to the whole of Avelyssia. Those who secretly longed for more power took over weaker colonies to 'protect' them. The appearance of that key has frightened them all into believing there is a REAL threat. It means they must work together. Both Corvidians and Falconians are moving out of the colonies that were not their own and are talking to each other again."

 

She gives you a penetrating gaze. "Do you think there is some suspicion one of the council members could be corrupt?"

[Abramul]

Lisette nods. "It might make sense. Those with power, or simply responsibility, are more effective as tools. Have you noticed any unusual...em, *more* unusual behavior recently?"

[Malchik]

"We haven't met since the King's illness. But I tried to keep away from them as much as possible. Coralot is an irritating woman always repeating what you say to her and in a loud raucous voice. Then she is typical of Psittacidians. She has never formed a partnership which makes her bitter but not stupid. Ehglette and Cro-Chuff are wrapped up in their own colonies. They resent having to come to the council at all. Kumor is a motherly type but far too complacent for me. When her colony was taken over by the Corvidians she didn't seem to care. That - apathy - is inherent in all Columbidians. They are too home loving. You never see one without a twig in around somewhere. Aliss - well, you'd have to see him - vain and such a poser but a crowd-lover at heart. He won't give you an opinion about anything other than himself without checking what the other members of the colony think. He's a phoenicopteridian of course.

 

As I say, talk to Steno. She's a Sagittariidian - they usually know everything that is going on around them. "

[ThetaOrionis01]

"Thank you," Lurel replies. "Where can we find Steno? And - is there anything you can tell us that might be helpful?"

[Abramul]

[OOC]

Order Psittaciformes (parrots)

Order Columbiformes (doves and pigeons)

Order Phoenicopteriformes (flamingos)

Didn't see Sagittariidian, but I think that's swans and suchlike.

[/OOC]

"We may as well talk to Steno, then. Thank you for your assistance"

 

 

Oops, didn't see Theta's there.
