WHO: Emet-Selch and anyone
WHAT: Completing some quests for the Luminari
WHEN: October (backdated slightly)
WHERE: The Elysian Grove (1, 2, 4), business district (3)
WARNINGS: None for now

(Will match format)

1. Echoes of the Past

Emet-Selch isn't really sure where to begin with searching for this Luminari. Finding lost things is Azem's speciality; not his. But, well, the first step to finding anything is to try and ask someone.

Bracing himself, he enters the Elysian Gardens. Just like the first time, he ends up getting turned around and losing his way before he finds one of the little jellyfish spirits.

"Pardon me, would you happen to know anything about a missing memory? One of Zyren the Lightweaver's."

The Luminari seems to ponder his question. Then shakes itself. "No, I'm sorry."

Emet-Selch sighs. It would be nice if quests ended on the first question, wouldn't it? The Luminari drifts closer, tentacles gently waving.

"I can guide you through the Grove until you find someone who does."

"That would be most helpful," Emet-Selch responds gruffly. "Thank you."

And so the pair wander the Grove searching for whichever Luminari has Zyren's memory core. Perhaps you'll come across them while on a different quest? Or for other reasons?

2. The Dreamweaver's Dilemma

Whilst searching for Zyren's memory, Emet-Selch hears about the parasitic problem from his guide. Although the mage's abilities do not extend to the world of dreams, he cautiously agrees to try and help a friend of theirs while he's here.

Perhaps you're here investigating the dream of the same Luminari? Emet-Selch will not say no to company when tackling these parasites.

3. The Fading Light (set in BUSINESS DISTRICT)

Emet-Selch has had enough of dream-walking for one week. To solve this particular conundrum, he plans to try brewing a potion.

For this, he has to temporarily leave the Grove - and his helpful, grateful guide - to find suitable apparatuses to brew with. Which is surprisingly difficult considering the advanced nature of Magisterian society. All he wants is a good, reliable alembic but the workers keep trying to sell him fancy contraptions! It's starting to get on his nerves.

"I just need a few flasks and a burner," he snaps. "Is that too much to ask?!"

4. Lost Child of Light

(There's two options here:)
A. Emet-Selch has found hints throughout the previous tasks and is ready to find the Child of Light with help from another player-character.
B. Emet-Selch still needs more clues and joins forces with another player-character to find clues.

(Feel free to write for either scenario and I'll go with it.)

[Of all things Sunny can focus on to get some money, dealing with dreams was... perfect? Or so he thought before signing himself up for the job. The teen still has little grasp on how to handle living on his own, to be honest, but... he's trying?

Inside the dream he has no powers (big surprise, he doesn't have powers even in the real world so far) but he does at least look different? He's basically waling around as his dreamsona Omori, looking younger perhaps but also healthier (not to mention, he has two eyes now, even if he can still only see from one.]

Oh... hey!

[He does recognize the guy, at least, approaching him with a knife between his fingers and a blank expression on his face. It's time to kill parasites and get quest rewards, right? His videogame logics apply here, despite his attempts to stay grounded in reality.]

[ Emet-Selch, on the other hand, looks no different - apart from tbe fact that he wears dark grey, floor-length robes with a red mask hanging at his chest. His sense of self is simply that strong. When he sees a familiar-yet-unfamiliar figure approaching, he is wary. But surely the parasites he's been sent to find don't look so human...?

Soul sight doesn't help in the dreamworld. ]

You look...familiar. Have we met?

[They have, but Sunny isn't surprised he's not recognized. His real self isn't as cool, after all, as Omori. He doesn't look like the sicklish child he is, even if the height is pretty much the same- yet ne nods in his direction.

One finger is raised up and pointed at Emet-Selch, followed by a single question.]

Questing?

[It's probably the single worst way to ask 'are you also here to hunt for parasites?' but his vocabulary is still rather limited. To further mark his point, Sunny turns around, pointing the knife away from the other man and slashing the air a couple of time.

He's there to help, really!]

[ Hmm. Emet-Selch feels like this manner of speaking is quite familiar indeed. Could it be that boy? But why the change in appearance?

Oh well. He shrugs to himself and sighs. Questions to be answered later when they're somewhere safe. ]

Aye, let's proceed. How hard could it be to find a single Luminari?

[ Well, not as easy as it seems as he hears chittering, like a thousand bugs coming their way. ]
