The stage is hastily set up, chairs around for people to sit in, and the crowd murmurs. Abductions, Creators, that storm the other day that sunk a few fishing boats, riots in Shanty Town, and the recent price hike of lamp oil. Mirana takes the stage, slowly and carefully, walking a bit funny. "Good afternoon my fellow beings. First, something from the first text." She says and opens it up, waiting for everyone to settle.
Leian wanders into the square, her tail swaying softly behind her, tilting her head at the stage, as she nears. Her ears flicking at the greeting as she looks up at Mirana a moment, and takes a seat near the front, watching curiously
Sveta arrives at the noonday mass with...well, no great expectations other than a breath of fresh air and the same old mass that she's heard for as long as she can remember, countless variations upon the same few topics. Yet today's speaker is a familiar face, and yet one she doesn't remember seeing up there all too often...dusting off one of the seats, the goshawk stifles a yawn and settles in, folding her wings neatly as she focuses her attention on the stage.
Angus had heard that his sister was going to be speaking at Noon mass today. So he was a little curious as to what was going to happen. He pulled his cloak tighter around himself, noticing Sveta out of the corner of his eye. So he decides to take a seat far away from her.
Charmed by the sounds of the noon mass bells, Dio arrives shortly after the others with hands tucked securly within his pockets and enters the mass. While typically quite loud and booming when entering a crowd, the lion still has the respect to not shout and dance in a place of worship. Though, spotting Sveta and Angus, he gives them a little wave, if they notice, and sits not too far away from them.
Mirana clears her throat and starts to speak, "Honor your fellow being, your parents and your creators. And with this respect and honor, work to build your world into something everyone will be proud of." she says and closes the book, "Any comments?" everyone murmurs slightly, but no real comments from the crowd.
Sveta, for her part, doesn't seem to notice Angus - what with him being on the other end of the seating - but does notice Dio and gives the scruffy fellow a dip of her head. Still, it doesn't seem like there's anything out of the ordinary about this mass so far. Same old, same old.
Leian tilts her head softly as she listens in on the speaking, ears twitching a bit as she looks around herself a moment " Well.. This is my first time coming to here for this. I've not been here long. And I do wish to do what I can to make others cheerful and happy. Which is why I brought my music with me when I traveled and found this place."
Angus nods to Dio, and gives Sveta a quick glance as he listens to his sister. So far same old same old, but it's not like he ever really goes to noon mass. This time of day he is usually off doing something for the lightbringers. He yawns, leaning a little forward to rest his elbow on his knee, and his head in his hand.
Much like the wolfess, Dio had never been to this location's mass. Actually, come to think of it, he's never been to a mass at all! Noticing Sveta's and Angus' gestures, he waves back to them once more and soon leans back into his seat with his elbows against the back, crossing his legs and rather curious about the proceedings.
Mirana nods and steps infront of the podium, taking a stool and sitting, rubbing the small of her back a bit, "Well, lets open up to discussion then, first, we have some fishers that need our help, their ships have been sunk in a storm, do we have anyone who can offer a bit to help them?" she asks and a few voluneteer some of thier crown, "Thank you sweeties... every little bit helps," then she adjusts in the stool a bit, "how about with the abductions that have been happening, do we have any word?" she asks, smiling out to everyone, but smiling a bit wider when she notices Angus, Sveta, Dio, and Leian.
Leian looks up at Mirana as she tilts her head to her " I am curious about the.. Spirits of this place I keep hearing about.. Especially one about.. Family. Which I hope to have one of, one day."
Sveta frowns. "Abductions? What abductions? Then again, I haven't really been out that much...no, I haven't heard of any abductions of late. As far as I know, everyone I know is still around." At the sound of Leian's mention of "spirits", though, she thinks back to her own previous encounters with them - they were certainly fascinating in their own right, but best observed from a distance. Sort of like a bone dragon.
Dio notices a few individuals get after some poor fishermen were mentioned and joins the line, dropping in a few crown himself to support those with unfortunate luck. "Abductions?" The lion cocks his head to the side before he turns around and heads back to his seat. "I've 'eard a few rumors lass, but I'm afraid I don't know the details." Finally, he returns back to his original position, scooting by a few people and sitting down once more and thinking about his own encounters with the spirits.
Dio spends 100 Crown to: Donation
Angus shrugs, and offers crown himself to help, and debated on offering the help of his house as well. As for the Abductions, well....he did actually have an idea about them...and he sighs as he speaks up. "There is something strange about the abductions for one...." He mutters, gaining the attention of a few other beings in the crowd as he just ignores them. "....And to be honest...I think I know who the Wolfess might be." He hints, since he hadn't seen Angel in a few days.
Leian spends 2000 Crown for RP reasons.
Angus spends 1000 Crown for RP reasons.
Mirana scratches her chin a bit, "Well, I guess we can find out about the abductions later then," and then Angus speeks up, "Oh... we can talk later my dear brother, and with the city guard, we'll get this figured out, and stopped." the beings calm a bit at these words. Mira's eyes go a bit wide when she sees the first collection plate filled, and two more braught out, "With this they will be able to easily replace their ships, and keep their families safe and well while they wait for them to be built, thank you all sweeties!" She says excitedly, claping and bringing her hands to her upper chest. She ponders a moment as Shaila is mentioned and things for a while, "Well... we could have a guest speaker if you like... I'm sure she wouldn't mind." She says, rubbing on the gold ring in her ear a moment.
Leian stands up and walks over to the donations, dropping a pouch of crowns up in offering for donation, her ears flicking softly about the talk of the abductions and a small frown appearing on her muzzle " Still more on those, I take it? I've not seen or heard much more than what you already told me, of, Miss. But I am still keeping an eye and ear out for anything I can." she tilts her head of mention about the guest speaker, ears flicking on her head " A guest speaker? Who might that be?" she asked curiously
Sveta can't help but be a bit worried. "Well then, my lion of grapevine pulling, you must inform me when we're done here. I..." she's about to say more, but notices Mirana pulling on the golden ring. Several thoughts flash through her mind, mainly centered about whether it would exactly be wise do such a thing in the middle of noonday mass without prior warning, but there's probably little time to voice any objection now.
Angus waves his hand to dismiss the idea. "I. Don't think it will be that easy sister. I've been working with the guards on it, and there is something... Odd about those who were abducted." He frowns as he rubs his chin, trying to remember the details as he continues to ignore the beings that give him odd looks.
