and finds a darkened room in chaos.... bedding has been shredded... lamps overthrown... books torn apart.... it looks like a battle has taken place here.... but oddly enough in the center of all this is a small crystalline orb sitting in the middle of a floral pattern... totally untouched... glowing softly in the gloom...
talesian, who has rushed in behind ye to stop ye from disturbing lyssan, stand there mouth ajar... stunned.... sweet mother of night.... he moans... when did this happen?

*Taps Talesian on the shoulder*
Stand back...I'll find out.
*When Taslesian moves back, Kero invokes one of his powers...the all-seeing gaze. His eyes suddenly turn steely gray and begin jumping in their sockets, darting this way and that, as if he were watching the very atoms of the air. He is actually reading the lines of fate and force, seeing the past....what had happened to the room is laid out before his very eyes...*
Note: Okay...set it up.

note - remember loki? ly's has some visitors.....
ye see lyssan standing in the room, examining a dusty tome, she opens it in curiosity and begins reading it... outloud... from her words you see that she is reading one of amestru's old diaries.... wonder where she found that?
a candle in a far corner begins to glow with a silvery argent aura, then it abruptly turns a sickly green in color, issuing forth a vile mist... before lyssan can react a score of trolls pour fourth... the ensuing fight is so violent ye cannot begin to believe no one didn't hear it... but then ye see the wards on the windows and doors... the room has been silenced... in the end, lyssan is subdued and tied up but not without putting up a valient fight... the trolls head back towards the candle corner dispersing into a mist as they regain the foul light... right before the troll bearing lyssan winks out you see her hand flicker and something drops to the floor... rolling to the center of the room...... a crystal, which begins to glow softly as it lays there..... (the tableau before you is ot exactly the same as the one in the room as it is now... the crystal is larger now and the floral pattern which surrounds it now is missing frm the initial attack scene....

*Relays this information to Talesian, then goes to clean up all the other problems before hunting a wayward Kitsune. He goes to Keva's room first, looking at him*
Kiddo, if ye're tubby, I'm Santa Claus, okay. Ye don't need to go on a diet...yer perfectly built for a fox. Now tell me who called you tubby.
*The question is just a formaliuty, as Kero's gaze will last about a quarter of an hour...he can already see who called him tubby*
Note: Let's wait for Zel before we go after Loki...besides, best to clean up the palace before we go God-Hunting.

(no problem... not sure where zel is though... he's hasn't been on too much lately... poor access to computer... he's doing the faire circuit this summer...)
as for who called keva tubby it is a small wizened sweets vender... thin faced... kind of scrawny.... fair haired going grey.... sharped eyed though.... very sharp eyed.... you see this all in a quick glance.... the man is handing keva a bag of sweets and as he hands keva the sweets he tauntingly calls him tubby....

*Mentally adds a punch between the legs to Loki's list of punishments, then comforts Keva, assuring him that he is not tubby...he even goes so far as to get him off the diet by revealing his own emaciated torso...Keva promptly swears off dieting. With that finished, Kero goes to see Shia, knocking on her door*
Shia...It's your Uncle Kero...let me in.
*Though running down, his gaze still grants him some insight into her room*

shia is hiding under her bed.... a weird experiment is bubbling away on her worktable... tentacles are waving from a flask... they are growing slowly and reaching about the table adding their own selections to the mix... at first glance it seems as though she has some how created a sentient creation in her bumbling effforts to please her mentor... but then you see a small cracked leather tome sitting open besides the beaker.... you can't read anything in it from yer point of view but there is an odd picture of an eye at the top of the page... darn... did it just blink?

*Bangs the door open and rushes to the desk, absorbing the life force within the flask, leaving it cold and dead. Picking up the book, he looks at its cover, then finds Shia under the bed, pulling her out by a tail very gently*
Shia...where did you get this book?

*Looks at her, observing her immediate past*
Shia...tell the truth, or you'll be in even more trouble...
*It doesn't matter if she lies...she is definitely unnerved by his steel gray eyes*

the kitsune melts a little beneath his gaze.... she drops her gaze to the floor... in... in... daddy's library.... she whispers..... then gulps... but he said i could go it there anytime i wanted.... really he did...
(there is a bit of truth stretching here... going in is not the same as taking a book out...)

And did he say ye could remove books, child? I allow many creatures into my library...but only yer father, yer mother, my beloved, my brother, and me, are allowed to remove books.
*Gives her a teacher's glare...the equivalent of a mom's truth stare...the one that says "I know what you've done so you'd do better just to fess up now"*

*Picks her up and cuddles her against him...to her amazement, he's pretty strong, even though he's thin as a whistle*
I can guess what happened, Shia...the notes were there, and you thought it would be interesting to try, right? You didn't realize how dangerous it would be, and thought you would suprise your father when he came home.
When you grabbed the book, you suddenly came up with the idea of finishing your dad's expirement for him, but it went horribly wrong, and you couldn't get help because you were afraid to get in trouble.
Have I about covered it all, Shia?
