• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Liviella gave him a steady and thaughtful gaze. "No, I think it's best if I went and got them. Just wait here. I'll be back in a minute..." She left after saying this and went back into the inn.

Suki was contemplating her own gloomy and mistrustful thaughts when Liviella came in. She sat down at Teresa and her table. "Are you ready to see the fortuneteller's coleague? We'll need to ask around."

"You have got to be kidding. That's like, a given!" Suki said, afronted.

"I'm ready if you are!" Teresa said, somewhat happy to be leaving.
______________________________________________________________

Why are they going to see the fortune tellers colleague? Fay mumbled, rubbing her arm, wanting to know more, this was getting more exciting by the minute. Fay left the inn, she didn't want it to seem she was spying. As she walked out of the Inn she looked back though the front window, which caused her to run into Gedion, "Oh, sorry," she said drastically.

Liviella nodded. "We'll need to ask where we can find him..."

They went up to ask the inn owner where they might find him. He said "Who,Gensen? Yah, I know where you can find him. He lives around here." He pointed at the city map hanging on the wall. "He's sandwiched between another inn, called Star Nights and a local grocery store."

Liviella thanked him, and went out to meet Gedion. "All right, we're all ready to..." She stopped when she saw that she was interupting something.

Gedion didn't see the woman coming at him untill she hit him. He turned suddlenly and saw her as she hit him. "Oh...it's okay you seem in a rush is there anything wrong?" He said that right as Liviella walked out. "Oh Hey Liv'." Gedion stepped back and looked at the woman. "Hey um this is my friend Liviella. Liv' this is...well what is your name?"

((No, that's fine. Why don't you just use Luv, though? only one letter off, and it sounds cooler. lol))

"Hi." Liviella greeted. She gestured to Gideon to come closer so she could have a private talk. When he was close enough, she said in a low voice "We're ready. The innkeeper told us the place to look for. we have a ways to walk. But he's next to another inn called the Star Knights. Anyway, I talked the innkeeper into lending us a map of the city so we can find our way around easier. He also said the man's name was Genson."

They walked for half the afternoon before reaching Genson's place. When they did however, they saw that the sign said CLOSED. Liviella saw movement inside, indicating that Genson was home. She walked up and knocked on the door. Inside, the voice came back muffled and grisly and rude, saying "I'm sorry, but we're closed right now."

Liviella sighed, but persisted. "Sir, we come to see Genson. However, it's not with clientel reasons. We can pay you, if you need or want it. Please just tell us what we need to know." Her voice was pleading with a hint of desperation in her voice.

There was a minute of silence, as if he were considering it. "Well, alright, but I don't know what help a poor old man can bring you but..." as he said this his voice got louder as he approached the door. He unlocked it and walked off to a room in the back. This was obviously the best they'd get, so Liviella pushed the door open. There was a small bell's ring as they entered.

Gedion followed the others into the big room. It was very clean and the wood was polished there was no one in the room but an old man sitting next to a fire with a cup in his hands. ((Hope you don't mind if I take a little bit of details into my own hands. If you do I'l change my post.))

After following the group for half the arfernoon Fay watched as they entered the building, it was not right to follow them, but her curiosity was strong. In order to continue following them I must have a disguise She said to herself, then pulled a brown wig and a black cloak out of her bag. She then ran behind a tree and disguised herself

((No, it's ok.))
"Welcome. Please, sit. Tell me what you want to know." Genson said in a soft, lulling voice.

Liviella started telling the story of the Seven Starred Seal, the possible dangers of it in the wrong hands, and so on. She ended by saying "So we need to know this fisherman's decendant to help find the Seal."

"Hmm. I don't give this information out freely. I can no sooner devine this decendant than I could single-handedly restore the dragons." he said somberly.

"But a friend of yours said that you might know who this decendant is." Liviella pushed.

"And what would you do to him if ever you found him?" Genson asked.

"What's it matter? All we'll do is talk and ask and with luck acheive the Seal from him." The untactful Suki said.

"Oh? So it's only The Seal that you're after then? And once you acheive that, you'll abandon him, discard him like an old work dog that's overspent? To me, that is very selfish and cruel." Genson's eyes flashed dangerously.

Liviella was alarmed by that look. "That is not our intent!" She flashed Suki a repremanding look to indicate that she was not helping. "All we would like to do is sit down and talk with him, ask him about any information about The Seal, thank him, pay him if he wants, and depart."

"Huh." He spat disbelieving. He was as bad as Suki had been, but worse in his own way... "That's sugar-coating it. Besides, he wouldn't like being left out of an adventure, I doubt."

Liviella's eyes widened. "How would you know what he would or wouldn't want?" Genson gave her a measuring look for a minute, looked at the rest of them equally as long, and finally said in a stiff, guarded voice "Because I am he."

Suki bit her lip, and Liviella was quiet and still, pondering. The danger Genson would put himself through was heavy. To add to the danger, Genson had no apparent skills that would protect him. Finally, Liviella asked "Do you have any fighting experience or self-defense skills?"

"My only skill is foresight." Genson replied flatly, crossing his arms, daring any of them to contradict or reject him.

Liviella's eyebrows twitched upwards in surprise. "We will have to have a moment to talk this over..."

Genson nodded and left the room.

"What do you guys think?" She prompted.

((Ok, I know that foresight is not mentioned in Eragon, or Eldest, or even, I don't think, Brisinger. However, it's like seeing the future. His normal view with blank out and be replaced by what will happen. I'm going to limit his vision to 6 hours in advance, maximum.))

((Will do.)) "I think he should be fine for the time being. If he's our only source than we have to take him up on his offer." Gedion slid his hand to his hilt. "If he betrays us we will be the first to stab him in the back." Gedion knew this was vicious but controling his thirst for revenge was hard.
