One Never Knows (Mint)

OOC- Cool. That's why I gave you the list. Now I might as well add a bit of detail.

Finding no answer at Fiona's door, Mint returns to her quarters.

I will no doubt see her at the party, and the mystery of the flowers seems likely to wait until then.

Mint sits at the table in her quarters and pulls out her Trump deck and sorts out a handful of cards. She has her field pack with quiver, crossbow, sword belt and sword close by her side for the unlikely event that one of her cousins needs her aid.

I have a bit of time before the party and I have not heard from some of the more far flung cousins. Perhaps one of them knows something of these Crimson Unicorn trumps. And each needs to know of their new cousins.

OOC:In addition to Aiden, Reena, and Triton, Mint has sorted out any other Trumps of known cousins who have not seen Amber recently ie Players who join the game later. We can skip over whether or not they answer and assume they have nothing relevant to tell Mint if they answer.

Mint comes to Aiden's Trump.

Dear Aiden, you are perhaps my favorite among my generation. Your explorations take you to many strange Shadows. Perhaps the Crimson Unicorn has crossed your much traveled path.

Mint concentrates on his Trump, feeling the coolness in her hand and willing the connection to form.

That went well.

Mint returns her copy of Aiden's Trump to her deck and then turns her attention to the Trump of his sister Reena.

Reena. Free spirit, where have you flown? And did you alight in a place where you will choose to answer?

She focuses her concentration for several minutes.

(OOC: if Reena won't or can't answer Mint will call Triton next)

Contacting Reena proves...oddly difficult. It is as if she is extremely close to something that interferes with Trump somehow. Mint senses no panic or danger, but it is as if Reena is much further away than seems possible. Most likely some odd eddy or peculiarity of the Shadow where she happens to be at the moment.

Next up....Triton

Ah, Reena's travels have taken her somewhere strange and interesting. Time enough to catch up with her after they party. She will miss the strangeness, but that is her loss.

Mint changes to Triton's card and concentrates carefully.

It seems likely he will answer. He enjoys a relaxing voyage or perhaps suns himself on a beach somewhere. Wake and answer, Triton, cousin of mine.
