syka commons
The Commons in Syka were not a place the Myrian was very fond of. The place itself was just a simple open area for gathering and speaking with each other. To Kame's surprise, every time she walked past the place it seemed to have a few settlers dotting it. Kame wondered how anyone around here could have the time to just lounge around. She was always doing something, whether it was scouting the land, trying to cook her own food or upping her skills in malediction and survival, she never found the time for free play. She hadn't even visited the baths more than once her entire time here, though Kame wasn't much of a bath taker, so perhaps that's not very unusual.
Yet she found herself craving a new source. She still had a few items that she brought with her to this area that could be used in malediction. But most of them were not very impressive. They were all simple things that couldn't really ever reach the potential she was looking for. She needed something to wow her, to challenge her, at least more of a challenge than her leather dress was going to be. There was another thing though, she wanted to be around when the animal died. She did not have much of that. Most of her dead things were items she had bought from a third party. She had not witnesses the kill and so she did not have all the information a malediction should have about her items.
The small mage, however did not have the ability to kill her own animal. Of course she had before a couple of time. Though they were lucky kills and the animals were never at the best to begin with. She wanted something proud, something capable. And she knew she couldn't kill something like that on her own.
She had found one or two people who might be able to help her on this, but she honestly did not know where to find them as she had not been paying much attention during those interactions. She regretted that now. Her excuse was that she did not like to have other's help, which was true of course. Kame is a very 'do it yourself' kind of Myrian. But eventually even Kame had to admit to herself that she can't do everything. So this is the reason she had entered the Commons for the first time in the 19 days shes been in this settlement. This is where people go to 'hang out' so perhaps she could run into someone useful there.
Upon arriving she scanned the area. There were three or four people here today, a little more than she usually noticed. Some were familiar faces, people she had been acquainted with before, some not, strangely enough. Kame was surprised there were people she hadn't met yet. 19 days is a long time when the city has a grand total of 20 or less people in it. She concluded that she simply doesn't get out enough. The closest person to her was someone she knew, thankfully. It was that Izuyanai she had met for the first time a few days after her arrival when she killed that sea turtle. She didn't mind the girl at this point, and the black haired woman seemed much more social than Kame would ever be. Perhaps she would know someone who could help her, or even be able to help her herself.
Walking over she tried to think of a good greeting. She was unsure how humans and their like worked and if they held the same kinds of greetings Myrian's had. She doubted it. Instead she thought back to their previous interactions and attempted to copy the way the girl spoke before. "Hello, Izuyanai!" She voiced, with an intended enthusiasm, trying to be nice. "I have been thinking, do you know about anyone that can kill - hunt? I need some... supplies." She spoke slower than someone normally would, trying to think of words, translating inside her head. She thought she did a rather good job, though her accent, as always, was very noticeable.
