RP: The Silent Horizon Find My Way

Daelan​


Daelan didn't know what to make of what they had just witnessed, "We should probably keep the money together, it might be good to buy supplies if we can find a place," he said as he moved back into the shanty and changed into the set of clothing that had been acquired. It was simple clothing, black legging with a hooded tunic, they had obviously been hand sewn and appeared almost delicate in their design. Thankfully his boots were still in good shape. "Your turn, "he said toward the other male as he returned from within the shanty in his new attire. He had done as the female had requested and had put the necklace with the symbol under the tunic so it was more out of sight. It's presence on the letter was something else he felt like he wanted to answer, yet he had no idea where to start.

"You should probably split up the haul," he said to the female, he still didn't know his name or his. When she had sat in his lap when the soldier came to hide the symbol he was wearing, he could not help but to wonder about who she actually was. Was she a mate to him or the other the man? He figured he should leave that alone, she could of been his sister for all he knew. "We might want to consider making up names for ourselves, until we can figure out who we are..."

The female archer that had disappeared into the tree line returned. Her bow strapped to her back along with it's quiver. It seemed a lot bigger as she got closer to them. She approached slowly with her hands slightly raise from her sides to show that she was no longer armed. "Hello there," she said in clear tone, "Are you three alright?" she asked as she looked down at the now stripped soldier, and figured out that the three of them appeared to be quite resourceful. "I'm sorry if I startled you, it really is not safe out here. There are a lot more of him, and if they catch you - you will end up in a labor camp." She didn't want to give them too much information at once. This was not the first group of her kind that she had found on this beach. She wondered if they even knew their own names, the others certainly had not.
 

Taesi​

"I don't even know my own name," she said unamused as she mulled over what she found. Though Seojun's curiosity caused her to look up towards him from where she had knelt. "If I had to guess, I think there are things going on here far beyond our comprehension," she stood brushing the sand of her knees. "There is some more gold currency that matches what we found earlier. These pictures make no sense to me, but given that he had them I would venture they bear a significance of some kind. Though if its something he was looking for, or that of personal importance I cannot ascertain based off the facts at hand. There are a couple more samples of writing, but again not in a language I can understand. Which makes me think that a portion of the populace here might utilize a language other than that which we use to communicate. Whether or not our guest here knew it, remains unknown. As for the gun, its symbol is similar to that which our companion bears on his necklace. Though it is different enough to warrant questioning." she paused for a moment.

Gesturing towards the full suit of armor she had removed from the corpse that now lay next to it. "This armor seems to have a certain quality that I would assume is higher tier. Though I cannot for the life of me figure out why. There was some sort of device under it that looks to be crushed," she said as her gesture finished when her hand reached where the smashed device lay next to the armor that had been laid out. "Though with certainty I can tell you one thing, that armor will be of no use to me." she as both of her hands gestured over the curvature of her feminine form. "These right here would prevent the armor from fitting," she said very analytically as she gestured to her bosom. "So you or the other male can have a go at it."

As she finished that bit of commentary she looked towards the sound of Daelan's voice. Seeing that he had covered the necklace for the time being she gave a silent nod of thanks. "How do you want it split up? That armor is practically useless to me, because of these," she replicated the same gesture to her bosom region. With that she grabbed a set of the female clothing and walked back to him, "Here hold these for me? We should chat while I get dressed" she asked as she put the tunic, and bag into his hands.

While she shimmied into the pants she began speaking, "That weapon has a symbol similar to the one on your necklace. Though it is interestingly different." she finished pulling up her pants with a little hop. Reaching out she grabbed the tunic putting it on while she left a moment of silence between them. When her top was on she reached for the bag, she began to speak as she looked for something on her clothing to fasten the bag. When she spoke she gave Daelan the same run down that Seojun had received. "Names? Um, Blaunr//Blank//. Unless you have a better idea," she said while still holding the pouch in her hands.

Taesi watched as the female archer approached, recalling how the woman had apparently saved them earlier. The woman's hands being slightly raised offered little comfort. She remained curiously quiet as she listened to every word, computing the implications of what the woman had to say. Hesitantly she spoke, "Thanks to you we are alive," she said while thinking "for now" in her own thoughts. She looked between her companions knowing that she would follow what they chose. Seperating from the group was decidedly a worse idea than facing whatever came together. Taesi took an unknown venture, reaching out to the woman through vesper as the woman had reached out to them earlier. "What are you willing to tell us about what is going on here? How do you know these things?" Taesi asked through vesper while mentally preparing to gather their things.
