Active [Eraza / Refara's Sound] Horny Rumours

This RP is part of the Isekai Hell setting. It is currently not open to be joined.

What to expect out of character:
Let's try to keep it weekly at its slowest. Preferably faster where possible. Total duration will depend on the pace. Let's aim for between 1 month and 2 months.

Type of RP will be mostly social/interaction. Focus of RP will be on interactions between characters and later on NPCs.

What to expect in character:
Having safely led the villagers of Erithis and into Eraza, Ceylan and Siegfried find themselves helping out for a few days. Only to start hearing more and more talk about a rather interesting rumour concerning a Unicorn horn.

When joining, please let me know the following things in your first post:
1 ) Any specific achievements/goals your character would have within the overall goal of the RP, such as trying to increase standing with a certain faction or obtaining a certain item/asset. So long as it doesn't diverge too much, I'll see what I can do to include it.
2 ) Any point boosters the character might have. (Attentive Student, Mentor, Devour, Narrative Booster, etc.).
3 ) Any [Wanted] or criminal titles your character might have. (Note, some city or guild-related settings will make entry for criminals considerably more difficult and would need discussion pre-joining.)
4 ) Any Buddy Skills, Masterwork Skills or Complex Assets your character might have.

Tag and character goal:
Elvario Elvario Ceylan – Trace down the origins of the Unicorn Horn rumours and find out of they are real.
Faynorae Faynorae Siegfried Grünelke Adlieber – Trace down the origins of the Unicorn Horn rumours and find out of they are real.

A few days had passed since their arrival. The first day, Ceylan had slept through nearly all of it. The second, he'd slowly gotten back to his 'business as usual' in talking with people, helping calm their nerves, healing people, or simply providing an extra pair of hands where needed. He'd even go around healing livestock or trying to help solve disputes that arose between those from Erithis and Eraza.

That said, as he and Siegfried remained, they'd start hearing a certain rumour popping up more nad more often. 'Did you hear? They say grinding it into powder and drinking it can make you immortal?' Would be whispered in the streets. 'Hey, did you hear, they say it can cure all wounds, just like the Bishop is doing.' Would be whispered in the infirmary. 'Hey, hey, did you hear? They say it can make one stronger and younger!' Would be heard near the well. 'I heard it can make someone more virile!' Would be shouted in the tavern one night.

It was during the afternoon of their fourth day in Eraza, that Ceylan would ask Siegfried about it. “Say, did you also happen to catch these odd rumours about some Unicorn Horn being for sale in a nearby town? I'll admit I've been getting concerned and curious in equal measure, about what type of artefact could cause so many people to talk about it.” He'd state, his voice portraying the very emotions he mentioned in mixed proportions.

  • Despite Siegfried believing sleep to be the root of mortal tedium; it was subtly familiar to him. It was a state devoid of thought and weight, which only made it easy for Siegfried to casually pass out when his body—which he ignorantly neglected the needs of—found even a tinge of comfort. He found that incredibly frustrating. Although, he had no time to linger on trivial emotions over trivial things; imperative things stirred.

    Siegfried spent most of his time tailing behind Ceylan like a lost puppy as a ploy to stop him from overexerting himself. When he wasn't doing that, he helped lift and carry things since that was all he could provide since he had no other skills outside of martial prowess. Siegfried's attention would easily be drawn away from all this in due time—after all, it concerned him greatly.

    Siegfried was sitting on a crate, brushing out the white tuft at the end of his tail when Ceylan brought up the rumours which had not so subtly spoilt Siegfried's ears. "Yes," He'd bluntly reply before setting down the brush, releasing the hold of his tail and staring straight into Ceylan's face. "I need to inquire where, how and who did acquire this alleged Unicorn's Horn." He said—the lack of expression or tone was usual for Siegfried yet, his tail thrashed against the crate a few times as he stood. "We should venture yon and seek out this salesperson to calm your curiosities and concern." Siegfried smiled, "Eraza will stay fair notwithstanding your absence."

Ceylan was surprised by how sudden and short Siegfried's first response was. The next bit surprsied him in equal measure. “Do you... also have some personal stake in this, per chance?” Ceylan's Insight (B) made him feel that much was true. It didn't sound like this was just about Ceylan's own interest, at the very least.

As for Eraza, he nodded. “I believed we did what we could here. Luckily, the journey shouldn't be too difficult, as there is a portal nearby that can take us to the place in question. From what I've gathered, if it is true that this Unicorn Horn is on sale, it should be in a place called Refera's Sound.”

There was only one thing that bothered him. “Still, to divert our time and energy to chase down mere rumours. I've wanted your opinion hoping you'd dissuade me, yet you seem, if I might estimate, even more invested. Could you tell me why?”

  • Unicorns can't lie and Siegfried was no different. After all, honesty was just incredibly simpler than lying—if you could lie naturally, something was wrong with you. Of course, Siegfried also believed everything he was told as if it were fact and true because, in his previous life, things like mice taking the tooth under your pillow and leaving silver or gold did happen regularly. It probably happened here too, in different circumstances. "Indeed." He replied cheerfully, not further elaborating because Ceylan didn't ask why. Yet.

    "I have never taken a portal before," Siegfried perked up, "Up 'til now, I have not thought of them either. They sound much more convenient than walking." Although it definitely would be more convenient, Siegfried did enjoy walking. He enjoyed the scenery most. He looked at Ceylan, "Have you ever used a portal before? How did it feel? What colour was it?" He'd ask, it was important to prepare himself.

    "If this salesperson happened upon a unicorn's horn, he is faultless; if he sought a unicorn only to rob him of his birthright, he must face retribution," Siegfried answered, "Unicorns are no simple creature, they bear sacrosanct duties beyond mortal capability. If one is killed, that which he safeguards shares the same fate. It is iniquitous to fell a sacred creature for worldly profits." This was what he knew from his prior life, however, he wasn't sure if it was true for the unicorns of this world.

Ceylan

“Right.” Ceylan answered, upon learning Siegfried also had some personal stake in the matter. He wondered if he should ask more about it, though perhaps it was personal? Before he could make up his mind, Siegfried had asked about the portal. “They are, though they can be rather expensive and they might be rather disorienting and nauseating, especially if using them for the first time.” Ceylan warning him. “The colour..?” He asked. That felt like an odd question. “It seemed like a mixture of them, like... Like some liquid rainbow?” It was tough to explain and if this is against canon, Ceylan is now canonically colour-blind. “Though upon getting through it, it's total darkness for a while, until you arrive on the other side.”

The next bits were a bit confusing. “How does a unicorn's horn relate to their birthright?” He asked, first of all, though for the next bits... “I must admit I never questioned my ability to speak Common until just now. I have no clue what 'sacrosanct' or 'iniquitous' would refer too.” He had to admit those were completely unknown to him. Perhaps even in beastial, for that matter. “Though I do agree, killing such a guardian would be all sorts of wrong.” He'd nod, though he wasn't fully sure how much Siegfried was 'right' about how/what unicorns were about.

He decided not to question it, as he slowly led the way towards the portal, having already gathered up his belongings earlier. He decided it'd be best not to have an extensive goodbye here, as those 'in the know' already knew he was planning to move on sooner, rather than later. His business here was therefore finished and didn't need an extended line-up of people expressing their thanks. A simple short prayer before taking the portal out later would suffice.
