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! ]

What do you think?

[softheartedshizun]

I refuse.

[silverneedles]

There are other routes to take, should you wish to help find a cure for the poison. You do not have to join us.

[softheartedshizun]

Why is it always like this? Why is it always some sort of indecent thing to cure something? How does that even fit in this world? Shouldn't it be something like finding the right ingredients and mixing them together? Or getting the recipe that's locked up somewhere by the villain? What do inappropriate activities have to do with poisons and health!?

I already have one poison that needs the Heavenly Pillar as a stupid cure, I don't want another one that needs something equally outrageous!

...................Heavenly Pillar?

[softheartedshizun]

…

Don’t dwell.

[wenderer]

I commend you for your ingenuity.

[softheartedshizun]

If one lets go of their integrity, what do they have left?

[wenderer]

Of course, of course. This "heavenly pillar" you seek is nothing more than bitter medicine, and not springtime pleasures. A gentleman of your integrity couldn't possibly enjoy such a thing.

[softheartedshizun]

I don't seek anything!

[ And not with those who even qualify! ]

[wenderer]

What, you think a truly heavenly pillar will just fall into your lap?

[ so to speak ]

[softheartedshizun]

No, and I would rather it didn't! I don't need it, and I don't want it.
