It’s a basic learnable skill like anyone can pick up.

That having been said, you really want your work to stand out against your business competitors, but not so much it isn’t still marketable. Clients are looking for a certain classic style: they don’t want your personal flare to show too much and you certainly can’t leave any sort of trade mark other than the kind other professionals will pick up on. Clients just want the job done in such a way that it looks very organic and natural! They may then recommend you by word of mouth.

Your family is part of- no, IS the entirety of a very high-end firm. You only trade in this one service, unlike other companies who also trade in goods, commodities and corporate espionage. That’s what makes you the best!

Because if the former, let's go over what you're supposed to be doing here.

And if the former still go right ahead and show off. Engage in the time honored tradition of "making it rain."

>let's go over what you're supposed to be doing here


Officially you are here to attend the ball of one Prince Who-Will-Probably-Not-Be-King. The creature is of age and yet has no recognized life partners. Your story is that you are the youngest of many dead children and your dying nation’s last hope for rejuvenation is to create ties overseas, thus. She’s not bad looking. They say she (she? sorry you’re not sure how this country assigns linguistic pronouns. Aura color you think? Number of Mothers? Number of total parents? Adult Height? YDK.) rejects her society’s customs, primarily the wearing of eye coverings. 8/10, would smooch.

But unofficially you are here to uncover if anyone in this kingdom knows who (or if someone here) is responsible for the recent turmoil in your country. Double unofficially if you locate such a person or persons, you are to remove them. Permanently. Then, make a hasty retreat to your home land to marry your actual suitors and succeed your mother to clan boss. You
..
You miss your mother.

Your side task, if you have time, is to study this land’s orgonal martial arts from its one and only living master. There are a lot of stories about them. They sound 90% fake, but stranger things have happened. Oh and also bring back living specimens of any undiscovered lap dragon breeds you find.

You will be disappointed when you find out this country only breeds hobby riding dragons.

>>609158
Okay. Recall the route to the Ball. When you get off the bus, find a map of the surrounding area and look for a dragon breeder or shop for supplies. Also, find a cozy room.

Did your clan give you permission to take mercenary commissions for the duration of this mission? If so, you may want to take on some "art requests". Not for the money, but for the reputation - pretend that you're willing to work "Dwelling-Static" grade landscapes (for these aura-sensitive "critics", do you think you'll have colors other than red, pink, and brown to work with?) for chump change; that should get the Prince's attention.

As for the famous martial artist, you may want to learn from the local punks before you prove worthy of the local masters, and then go looking around for this urban legend. Don't waste all of your Ball time chasing shadows, though.

Oh, and look around for a new "playmate" for your pet dragon. You like hatching dragon eggs, right?

>>609158
So you looking to get your smoochings on with this Prince? You sound interested.

Who's responsible for the turmoil in your country? A group? Some shadow organization? A dick with a really big grudge?

What kinda stories are we talking here about this martial arts person?

Go seduce the prince

You were warned but you didn’t understand the extent? to which these people let it all hang out. You suppose they cover their eyes because it is the only personal bubble they have left when everyone can see each other’s aura’s color, intensity, frequency, mood fluctuations, ect. This bab here is your number one fan and has the right idea. Nice, normal, pure white aura. You can still see the spikes in it, but it takes a while to learn to control that. No one else on the bus has white aura but you and this bab. Yeah, ain’t no strangers gonna be having your soul color revealed to them today, yeah no.

You wonder idly if even this grand master of chi-control lets it flare up like their body is on fire or what. Seems like a waste of energy.

>Who started the war?

you don’t know, but here’s the deets.
In your nation, the borders are formed not by physical landmarks but by allegiances to different chieftains. Its like this:

Immediate Family < clan < tribe < nation < state

Things don’t usually start getting political until you get to the state level, which goes on like this with a bit of overlap in the lower rungs:

families < township < fiefdom < province < state < country

There is a strong sense of impermanence which demands the law take a back seat to how governance takes place on a local level and that was how the people liked it for as long as anyone could remember. If you have a problem with your neighbor your family takes care of it. If your family had a problem with your neighbor’s family, the clan took care of it. If the two clans had a beef with each other, it would be settled within your clans’ tribe but if the two clans were from different tribes things could get ugly. If two tribes were at war the state might step in to settle in. Much higher up than that and you would get into politics.

Simple.
But then things got stupid.

Individuals attacking entire tribes to circumvent retaliation from other single individuals, clans that had been at uneasy peace up and destroying each other over night, delicate but equal power struggles suddenly cantilevered out of proportion. It is not your people’s way. Your brothers and sisters worked quietly to back trace the roots of the discord and uncovered a series expatriates from Mossland. Some of your brothers and sisters were never seen again.

You’re not dumb. And pretty sure your mother mostly sent you here to keep you out of trouble in case he, too, falls.

In your native tongue, pronouns are derived from number of mothers. Your mother had three. That’s an odd number. That’s the official story anyway. The truth is more complicated. Your mother often swaps pronouns every month to keep people guessing.

You miss your mother.

Are the clans in your tribe unified or have they gone to making "splotter and random art" themselves instead of requesting your family for commissions?

Dear Boss,

I am now entering the third day of transit from when I was seen off on the edge of our territory. I made the hike into town from the edge of Wallow Village on my own. I carried all my luggage. You were wrong about it being too much to lug around.

We crossed the sea by ferry over night. You were wrong about the Rust Sea being as impossible to navigate as the Sea of Dead Things. Yes the Rust Sea is just the name of the coastline between the dead sea and Mossland, but it wasn’t that bad. We all stayed inside the whole time.

I understand we’ll be in Ramsheath by sundown. It is very confusing how a town in Mossland is called ‘Ramsheath.’ Or is it ‘Ramshearth’? ‘Ramsheart’? Anyway, I’ve made arrangements to meet someone who will hopefully carry my stuff for me and show me to an Inn.

There are peasants on this ‘bus,’ Boss.

Please re-consider hooking me up with that boy from the Stagger tribe. He is 900% obtuse. There are many fine Princes in Mossland right now that might have me and come back with me. They have names like ‘Of the Star’ and ‘Flying.’ When they come back to our land, we will give them names that they could never have had in Ramshead or Mossland. What do you think.

‘Blinking Star’
‘Flying Blink’
‘Star Blinker’

See, when one prince becomes king, she picks a title like that. But everything is pretty locked up over here. The stability of power is almost trite, Boss. Why would someone from Mossland come to The Land of the Black and the White Where the Trees Grow Straight up and Down just to tear our power structures apart? These people abhor change, it seems.

Boss, I shall bring back as many fine Princes as I can. Do as you will.

-your right hand man
Ahe Blink
''

The letter is a little bit informal, but you imagine this is no time for formalities. You are the last of your mother's children. You hope it doesn't get back to your mother that you actually had a pack animal carry your luggage.

...Make SURE that you are going the right way. Are you going to Ramshead, or Mossland? Ask someone in town about the place.

To prevent someone calling a trace on the people you ask, try asking different questions at random in different places, so that it doesn't look suspicious.

Here are the important questions:

1. This is Ramsheath, Mossland, correct? Can you tell me some of the current events?
- Ask the first innkeeper that you rent a room from. She'll have a contractual obligation to support her customers, to a point.
- If the innkeeper asks why you want to know this, tell her that you're from a long line of professional artists (which is technically true) who do simple work for rich people, like redecoration. You're here because you heard that there are royals who are going to have a very large ball, and you want in. Also, because that prince is super sexy and your family is so good at their jobs that they've done the dance with royalty before. Best get as much information about the city and the prince as possible before interacting with them, though, or they'll simply execute you for being a blabbering idiot.
2. Ask a random guy where the nearest dragon shop is. If they get confused, ask about where you can buy dragons or dragon supplies for your little pet dragon.
- Ask directions after wandering and shopping. At random intervals, talk to someone who looks like they're on a daily routine walk, and not where their job is. This way, you dilute any trails that you leave in terms of suspicious questions.
- Show the stranger your pet dragon, and let them pet it, but don't let them see it for too long or they'll be able to identify it. It easily explains why you're looking for a dragon store.

You skip to the next day when you arrive in Ramsheath. The fresh air is almost soggy. There’s a hand carved marque by the road that seems to suggest this is a tourist destination and that we are in Ramsheath, South Mossland. After skimming the literature available at the inn next to the bus station you learn there is a rock climbing company, a hot spring company, and tours of several local vineyards, orchards, farms and guided pack animal trails. The main attraction is Tabletop Rock.

It takes you a long time to discern all this. You have to use a pocket translation book and each of the languages it translates to and from are non-phonic, non-alphabetic, non-syllabic and (mostly) non-logographic. Each character represents a full idea.

This one, for instance, might say ‘I am going to the store,’ and the one nestled inside it says ‘but I’m not going to be happy about it.’ However, in the context of the rest of the script block, these two characters beg the reader to ask themself WHY they would go to the store when fresh produce is right around the corner. The line that usually means ‘I’ is now being utilized by the author of the text to mean ‘you.’ It’s fascinating, linguistically, but the content useless to your mission.

You think it was rather presumptuous of the tourism board to believe only Ramheads would visit Mossland (the two countries share a common writing system). But then again, maybe that is why this town is called Ramsheath.

You don’t speak the language well enough to ask for a dragon shop. You have only ever been to one pet store that sold dragon paraphernalia. The old tradition states that one should feed their dragons off their own life force, causing the dragon to become addicted and completely dependent on the person who wields them. Eventually the dragon’s digestive system atrophies and if it is accustomed to feeding off only one person, switching to another person’s energy will send them into shock and kill them. But you think that’s kind of shitty and mostly you feed yours ant honey. It is imported but you couldn’t read the ‘made in’ label on the bottoms of the vials. Luckily, you brought some along.

If you don't know the language, use visual cues instead.

Given this disturbingly complex 'inscribe-context' language, using some key words like "shop?" and pointing to your dragon may be a better idea. People may get the idea that you're trying to sell your dragon, but a dragon store (which likely gets some of its best customers from rich 'The Land of the Black and the White Where the Trees Grow Straight up and Down' tourists) should be able to tell the difference if you show them money and ask for 'supplies'.

>>610718
That is kind of shitty!
Give your dragon a little bit of ant honey and be proud that you're not shitty like all the other dragon owners.

Focusing at the task at hand, when's this Prince's ball? Do you need to make any preparations prior to it, or do you have everything you figure you will need? Do you need to check in with anyone, announce your arrival?

>>610756
You were pretty concerned for the little guy, you guess. You unpack just enough stuff to get to the dragon food and feed the damn thing already. You sometimes supplement their diets with fresh caught bugs and flower nectar or tree sap. Some of them like fruit juice. Some of them like fresh blood. Some of them only feed on rotting fruit or rancid meat or coagulated blood.
Which kind of dragon was this, again?

>blood drinking
>bug eating
>sugar slurping
>juice box crushing

>That’s not what we wanted to know; we want to buy a NEW dragon before we start our mission proper

But the mission is important! You only have three days in in Mossland before you become suspicious. In 20 hours you should be arriving at the ball. You then are expected to wait another 20 hours to see if you get any call backs, as it were. Then they will probably want you out unless you have business.

Someone was supposed to meet you here and carry your stuff a block down the street to the inn. Or really you had hoped you would be graciously invited to stay in the homes of one of the nobles, here. You could perhaps gather information at one of the estates. It is believed the villain in your country’s upheaval would have been very high class in order to pull it off.

Bad idea. You do realize that coming in uninvited to any of the noble houses, even if you were first in line to Mossland, would likely result in trespassing charges, arrests, and/or an attempt on your life.

Just carry your bags and ask where the nearest hotel is, preferably something in your budget. Get yourself ready for the ball.

And leave your dragon at the hotel but be sure to put him in a safe place with sufficient food and water.

>>611506
Well that's rude.
Grab your bags and let's make a plan. Do you have any information of the nobles in the area? Names, descriptions of personalities? Who would be the most amicable towards letting you spend a few days? Who would be the least?

You have gathered a little intel on some nobles in the area who are known to grant audiences a little easier than others. Some are delegations from foreign lands, ambassadors and trade commissioners and other politicians and their kin. Others work directly under the king or his queens or sons and daughters. Some are the queens of princes and crown princes who also do important political work.

Who ever you pick, you have to hope you are a good judge of character based only off hearsay and tabloids. Pick wrong and you might wind up staying in the home of the one who had your sisters and brothers assassinated.

Subject D is of mixed heritage and might identify with your predicament. They hold a fairly high office for someone whose parents were immigrants. Something to do with taxes, you think? Accounting? They’re a sly character, not sure if shade.

But the good doctors K and L are renown for helping anyone who needs it. They are also world famous for holding the record for the longest-running mate group. It was founded at least two hundred years ago. Each time a member grows old and dies, they are always remembered by younger mates in the group. These two are all alone, now, you think. They aren’t royals perse, but they are kind for folks with celebrity status and hold sway with many powerful people.

Subject T is a prince who should have been first in line for the throne of Mossland but because of private family matters, they are practically banished. It would be in poor form to straight up force them into exile, though, so they still hang around the Mossy palace quite a bit. It strikes you that they might not be so loyal to their king so much anymore. If it were you, you would have killed your own mother by now.

J is the last of a line of princes from a land called ‘Rebelia,’ and has married the king of Ramshead. Subject J is known for founding or popularizing a movement to absolve all political power and return it to the people. Then they had kids.

B is a visiting spokesperson for their country’s trade commissioner. They should be attending the royal ball with their family.

M is a young person who pals around with royal children who cannot be allowed to interact with common folk and yet ??? this is a commoner?? who is paid to hang around with royal children? The tabloids aren’t being very clear, they seem to assume you already know everything about this.

F is pretty much the same thing but isn’t paid, as far as you can tell, and hangs out with an older set of royal children.

I and Q are monks of dying orders old time religions. Either of them could teach you a thing or two about spirit soul life force magic, but the long haired one with a pension for going shirtless is known to give knowledge away in exchange for money. Also, long hair shirtless chest makes a girl go *dragon noise*

It happened so fast.

When you regain yourself enough to sit up and look around, the dragon-knapper is gone. You would like to get your spectra back under wraps, but it is not cooperating on account of how hurt your wrist feels. Did you actually let go of the dragon to keep it from getting hurt? If you managed not to fall on a knife it will be a christmas kwanzaa kenpass miracle.

Though you are in shock, the logic sector of your brain is telling you to go to the cops immediately. Another part of you demands you ice your hand. Another says you should look for witnesses.

You look for someone who might help you report the crime but everyone seems to be too intimidated of you. Usually you would be flattered, but this is super unhelpful behavior. Long story short, you wind up at the local law enforcement office and even THEY seem wary of your presence. No one can understand your accent when you try to speak Mossy but eventually someone is kind enough to go across the street to get you some ice for your hand.

Eventually they stash you in a corner like they could get more work done quicker if they just get some space. This is getting you nowhere. Your family dragon is probably halfway to the Ramshead capital by now. Furthermore you are too frazzled to do anything about your aura being projected.

You are told the police will alert all beat agents to the animal’s description. You didn’t get a good look at the guy who robbed you. They were notably shorter than you and had a broad rimmed hat, you think?

You sign the paperwork and pay the translator’s bail: ten thousand bolt nuts. Though, the cost of living is so low here compared to Black Trees Up and Down, it feels like five hundred. Besides, if she’s going to be your sidekick to get back your FORTY thousand dollar dragon and, maybe, even avenge your family, it will be worth it!
Apparently her name is Princess Glimmerstrike Dicbut III. Princess? That sure is a funny name.

You are Glimmerstrike Dicbut III and this crazy foreigner has just passed out on you. They don’t seem to be in too good of shape. It was nice of them to pay your bail, but you don’t care anything about finding their pet with them! You still have a kingdom to usurper after all. *Usurp.

Also you’re pretty sure they cat called you when you were being brought in for processing. You were not looking forwards to trying to break out of that jail tonight.

Wait, no. Like, surely you know how awkward this is, Glimmerstrike. You don’t gotta explain it to yourself. Like, you can if you say to yourself ‘Glimmerstrike, what the crunsh. How. Why. Who?’

aaUUuhhh okay this fellow is packing heat like a lot of heat, you can feel it through their robes, this just got 1000% more terse. Wait, heat is fire arms. So, blades must be ice. They're packing ice.

Yeah, you guess the vagabond is pretty cool. But they’re getting heavy!

And you never found the doctor! He probably came to patch up the prince you sliced, but no one came to check on your health status all night last night.

You drag the foreigner towards the nearest inn. You know a little bit about first aid. You gave stitches to that prince you cut, remember? Maybe you can stabilize this character. Afterwards you will think about checking to see if their luggage is still at the transit station. Yes?

Ask some locals about a doctor! Once you've got him/her squared away, get some lodgings!

You can’t just keep dragging this semi-conscious body around town so you pop into the inn.

Hey, Enkeepa

Holy TREE shit, My Lord! What have you gotten yourself into, this time?

Enkeepa owns the inn, fifth generation. You ask her if she’s seen the doctor, lately. She asks you if that’s a dead body you’re lugging around and tells you she thought you were still in jail and, wait, is that why you were in jail: is that the foreign Prince you were rumored to have killed.

Enkeepa, I’m terribly dishonored by your assumption I’d be unprofessional enough to incriminate myself by bringing a dead body right to all these witnesses.

The inn also has a family-style restaurant and everyone has turned away from their meals to gawk at the roukous at the front desk where you stand.

of course not, Prince. You’re way too skilled a prinsassin for that!

…. Was that sarcasm, Enkeepa-Commona.. *commoner

‘Course not, Prince GlimmerStrike

That patronizing grin looks almost genuine and you honestly can’t tell, anymore. You sign in to the tab-book and make your way up to your usual room.

You will have to try and find someone willing to give you the doctor’s information. It makes sense that he would have at least a telegraph line.

Wait, why didn’t you ask at the police station? They have a telegraph machine, damnit! Wait, does the inn have one? The bus stop might and you have to go pick up the noble’s gear, anyway. What is it s/he’s trying to get back, anyway? The animal side-kick everyone in the world was born with except for you?

We should tend to the stranger so we can later recruit them into our party to usurp the throne. Let's go check for her luggage back at the bus stop.

This hotel is pretty nice. It’s got an ice box that chops up the ice for you and you don’t even need to put boltnuts in to get it. The little kelpophane bags and twist ties came from down stairs in the restaurant. You didn’t see a public telecom booth while you were there.

Actually, maybe their default aura isn’t hot pink. Maybe they were just projecting the color of pain and fear because they were in a lot of pain and had just been robbed. Wow you feel like a jerk.

You better find that doctor fast or you might have to give this weirdo a transfusion of life blood and you are not professional enough to try it.

And ask if they know how to get in touch with a doctor. (Can't be the first time someone got sick in the hotel!).

Send a request to the innkeeper for a doctor.

Yes, this is room 25!
I was wondering. Do you guys have a telegraph or wire service?
You do! Oh, you piggy back off the bank across the alley? Great!
Can someone call the doctor for me?
Yes, it is kind of an emergency. I have a head bunger and possibly sprained or broken wrist. Also running low on energy, could go into total system collapse.
Oh, you will?
Thank you so much!
Yes, I’ll wait right here. How long do you think it will be before the doctor gets here?

Important:

If you're going out, be sure to give her a letter so that she doesn't assume the doctor is an assassin and throw knives all over the room. You may want to wait for the doctor before you leave.

Alright, let's see how Punkulio is doing.

Make sure to fully disarm the visitor, and be ready to assure them that the doctor isn't an assassin.

And while you're all by your lonesome, that "furiously masturbate" thing doesn't sound all that bad.

Guys, just so you know, I don't mind if you want to suggest something that has already been suggested. In fact, I need tie breakers like 90% of the time. So please, feel free to say what has already been said and also feel free to change you answers. thank.

Right.. Man, there’s no way even leaving a letter might work. The doctor could come in and wake Black Trees Hidden Dragon over here and get sushi’d to death.

Seven fucking blades on this individual. That’s insane. Pretty sure you got them all, though.
You stash them under the bed for cheap hiding purposes and write a note for the doctor and the slumbering lunatic.

Woops, you are suddenly being Prinshades Lollerblades Julio Punkulio of the House of the FlyingTendril or something like that: one of your parents just got publicaly re-named King of Ramshead official. You can now rest assured that you are your nation’s heir apparent: assuming you won’t be usurped.

Your wound is healing nicely. Your royal cosmic waves have ensured 50% healing every 20 hours. Also you had a good doctor.

These two aliens. They’re from a race divided not by aural might but by a more biologically tangible set of criteria. The scrappy one on top is the Princess. Although, since she is from another kingdom, she is a Prince to you. The lanky one on bottom: he’s just a noble commoner. But a commoner none the less!
