Thanks to Lady Vannozza's largesse, I have managed to gain access to the hunting grounds owned by Don Bonaccorso. I extend the offer to any of our company who can be discreet and quiet— you can be smuggled inside. The grounds may offer up mysteries and there is game afoot that might be of potential use.

There are two others attending besides myself: Lily Evans and Wei Wuxian, who will be offering a blessing of fertility in the forest.

If you do join us, you will need to be ready to adapt a compromising position with your closest ally, should any outsiders to our company be present.



[ ooc: wen qing has managed to get access to the hunting grounds post-poisoning and will sneak in people who wish to help catch the owl, cause general mayhem while insisting they can be quiet and on their best behavior, and/or explore the place.

It's supposed to be an orgy, though. So uhhh... kiss your neighbor if/when someone else shows up.

Threadjack at will! ]

The more eyes we have searching, the better, ah? As the resident fertility goddess reincarnate, it becomes my sacred duty to drag all of you in to bless the whole of the hunting grounds, repeatedly.

Which is to say, Wen Qing is correct, travel with a buddy at all times, and be prepared to look as if you're up to the kind activities our Lady V is expecting out of the enthusiastic participants my enthusiastic self has snuck in. Repeatedly.

No murder, thanks, we're going to be held accountable for that, and people doing as this implies should be too busy to be killing anyone or anything. Congratulations! Welcome to the Cure Hunt, and please bring your very most different mask along.

( Will no one else urge the fool? Very well: )


Seek other swords to fall on.

Poisoned, Lan Zhan. If congee fixed this, I'd be falling happily into the kitchens.

[downswing]

Misplaced effort to assuage the guilt of welfare.

[weifinder]

Misplaced in what way? I've been a hunter longer than I've known you, if we're looking for birds that fly on silent wings, I've the skill to help catch them once others find them. That's effort well placed, isn't it.

[downswing]

Claim your vantage.

You answer for mistress Wen.

[weifinder]

I work with Wen Qing, and with Miss Lily, for... Lan Zhan, the bones. We'd been planning to lay them to rest before this mess, and now it only makes it imperative we follow through with the jest it would have been in the first place.

[downswing]

They walk unarmed among the dead. Be their sword.

[weifinder]

And shield. For all of them, ah? We'll return safely. I'll ensure as much.
