"That whoever stole them impersonated the steward's voice to call them in," Anlo says with a shrug. "Using the voice of someone they knew makes sense, and covers up who actually was waiting for them."

"I think we are dealing with a shapeshifter." Tasya chimes in. "A changeling or maybe even a doppelganger. Though, I suspect they aren't acting alone."
"If not a shapeshifter, then perhaps a wizard and their familiar or a ranger and an animal companion." She adds, "But..the vocal impersonation highly suggests a shapeshifter of some type."

There is a knock at the main door to Khali's studio. A strong voice calls loudly through the door, "Mistress Khali, it is Captain Zephyros. If it is not too late and you would entertain giving me my reading before retiring for the night, I would be very much be obliged."

Khali is slightly panicked, not expecting someone so soon. She cleans the area and re-wraps the shards of glass to hand back to Anlo. She slides the feather back to Tasya and asks of her "Miss Tasya, will you answer the door please?
Just a moment, Captain!"the latter sentence speaking loud enough to be heard through the door.

Tasya tucks the feather away under her cloak and nods to Khali. "Of course, Miss Khali." She proceeds to the door and opens it when everyone is ready for her to do so.

Captain Zephyros "Swiftclaw" Sunblade
Somewhat surprised when seeing Tasya open the door the captain comments,
"Oh. Hello. You are my trainer are you not? The excellent acrobat, Mistress Tasya. Am I correct?
He continues apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't realize that Mistress Khali is currently engaged. I can come back if this is not a good time."

Tasya acknowledges the captain's correct identification with a bow and a flourish. "One and the same, Sir. Please, come in. Mistress Khali is within."
Feb 29, 2024 3:37 pm
"Thank you," replies Captain Zephyros. He walks in and looks around, an amazed look on his face at the sight of the studio. He sees Anlo and says, "Well...Master Anlo, the superior weapon thrower. You are present as well. It is welcome to meet you both before my training begins. I wonder what you have in store for me this week."

While the client is talking to Anlo, Khali prepares the table for the reading. She lights some incense that's in a censer and a few candles.
Mar 3, 2024 3:59 am
Zephyros eagerly anticipating Anlo and Tasya's response about training, notices Khali preparing the table. "Shall I sit?" he asks the fortune teller.

"To be quite honest with you, Captain. I wish I had been more a more advanced warning, during on journey to Ierendi, to prepare a proper training regimen for our contestants. As it stands though, we only learned of our roles and duties in the upcoming contests for the crowns only prior taking rest late last night." Tasya responds to his question.
"For my part, the training will involve a lot of feats of acrobatics, showmanship, and nerve." She adds. "The exact details are still forming in my mind."

Anlo nods. "This has rather quickly become a test for us as much as all of you," Anlo adds to Tas' comment as he stands. "No pressure," he chuckles.
Mar 3, 2024 7:30 pm
"Judging by your performance earlier I'm convinced whatever you design for this year's tournament will be a memorable experience for all. I hope the incident with the missing crowns gets resolved easily and doesn't put any damper on our proceedings," replies Zephyros.
After a quick somber look he changes the subject.
"This ship of yours is quite fascinating. Ierendi's biggest transport is not nearly as magnificent as this. Caspian, your lead roustabout a kindred Rakasta, gave me a brief tour of the main deck after the performance. Unfortunately there was not enough time to get into details of the rigging and maneuverability. Tell me, how fast does she get on the open sea?"

Khali gestures towards the seat that is opposite of her and answers
"Of course, Captain. Make yourself comfortable. I am almost ready."
She shuffles a deck of fortune telling cards with skill and dexterity of a card shark. A third hand appears and helps her cut them into different stacks before bringing them together as a whole.

"WIll Master Anlo and Mistress Tasya remain for my reading? I am quite comfortable either way, but will their presence effect the outcome?" asks Captain Zephyros.
OOC:
It will not effect the outcome. What do Anlo and Tasya plan to do?Mar 9, 2024 3:16 pm
Tasya excuses herself and leaves the room. This is supposed to be the performers' downtime to relax and get rest after their performances of the evening. She heads back to her dressing room and pours herself a drink.
Mar 9, 2024 4:37 pm
Anlo nods, saying "Good evening, Captain. Khali." as he excuses himself behind Tas.
In the corridor, he looks at Tasya. "How do we investigate and handle the competition? Both seem like they need our full attention."

Tasya shrugs. "I was hoping our finds would lead to better insight from our diviner." She says. "This is all too much stress. I'm going to my dressing room and having a drink..or two."

NOTE: I later decided, once RageRed left the game, to have Tasya's quarters be in the starboard aft tower.
Khali's Studio
"Thank you for taking me this evening. I am eager to know what you divine...affirmation of my winning the crown this week, I hope," says Zephyros with a playful smirk.
"As a secondary concern I hope that your findings may somehow clear me of any suspicion regarding being connected to the crowns' disappearance. Well...in any case how shall we proceed Mistress?"
T = Tasya's quarters in the forward port tower,
A = Anlo's quarters in the forward starboard tower.
The T and A in aft area are Tasya's and Anlo's respective dressing rooms.
K = Khali's quarters. Her quarters are under the port elite lounge.
The circled area is Khali's divination rooms, which are under the special balcony.

Rage, is Tasya going to her dressing room back stage? Or is she heading to her quarters on the other side of the ship. Ma, what is Anlo gonna do?[ +- ] Ship map with Quarters and Dressing Rooms Marked
