EVENT | LANDFALL | VALISHAERA

[ironwood]

Characters: ALL!
Date: JULY 13-26
Location: Valishaera
Situation: Tu Vishan has made landfall on Siaxhi, to explore the Dreaming Watch City of Valishaera.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As Tu Vishan draws near, the heavy jungle visible even from miles out quickly identifies the landmass as Siaxhi, one of the westernmost continents in Konryu and one that has been largely untouched insofar as the kedan themselves have gone. There is a natural inlet along the southeast shore on the continent and Tu Vishan makes for that, though he fills nearly all of it.

Under any other circumstance Solomon would have the strength to avoid or resist that grab; but he didn't now, and in Bakura's state it would have been dangerous to let the thief know that for certain. Instead Solomon forced himself to relax, to pretend no perceived danger from the action, and to ignore the constricted throb in his elbow.

Hopefully, most of Bakura's ire came from the unexpected sight of one of his kin. That meant it would likely fade. If not, Solomon might be in trouble.

"One of the gates here grants a magical boon to those who pass within it," he said calmly, answering the second question first. "It gave me access to the khajbit in creating small pockets, but I already knew I would not have the control necessary to serve my purposes for today. Given that fact, it did not seem a pertinent matter to raise."

His palm throbbed, still, and half-bitterly he hoped the shedding had been worth it. The gash had come open again; he could feel the blood congealing around his fingers. At this rate it was going to take a while to heal. Solomon ignored it, and looked Bakura in the eye. "I told you what I was planning. I will apologise to your kin if any of them were unduly harmed, but if you thought somehow that the spell would not directly influence them, the assumption is hardly my fault. If you would prefer I cease attempting to find the rest of them, you need only decline in future."

Whether Solomon had actually told him was debatable; he'd approached this as an experiment with the khajbit, not the ghosts. And while Bakura was perhaps at fault for not pressing for more information, he also felt that the necromancer had taken advantage of that. Either way, he shoves Solomon back roughly, turning towards the door that denoted the exit to this portal, apparently not caring whether the other man was in any shape to follow or not.

Solomon caught himself on the table, hissed at the flare of pain it caused in his hand, and took a few moments to ensure that he would not, in fact, fall. With the way his knees shook, it was a near thing, particularly as his arms didn't seemed to want to hold him up for terribly long.

By the time he had righted himself, Bakura was already gone. Ah, well. Solomon wasn't dead; he counted that a minor miracle. He didn't bother to pursue the thief--but he took his time in leaving and making his way back to his apartment, not the least to ensure he didn't exacerbate his potential injuries more than necessary.
