When Viv gets back to her room there is a small roll of parchment paper sealed with wax on her pillow. A scroll, if you were so inclined.

Vivienne sighed as she set her books down. She had been daydreaming of a hot shower and fresh bedsheets when she picked up and read the note.

Posted: **Fri Jul 02, 2021 2:18 am**

The wax seal has the shape of a raven in flight pressed into it. Unrolling the parchment, she sees the following written in calligraphy:

Something is missing
Something is wrong
You'll find out what
Before very long

To find it you must
Be clever and fast
The game is afoot
The die it is cast

Tread on the living
They make not a mumble
Tread on the dead
They mutter and grumble

"Riddles?" she moved to sit on her bed. She read it over a few times. "Graveyard? Too obvious. What's dead that makes noise? Leaves...the forest then." She quickly changed into some jogging clothes and headed out again.

As Viv approaches the edge of the lawn, she can see a freshly raked pile of fall leaves not far from the treeline.

Posted: **Wed Jul 14, 2021 1:07 am**

She paused and took a moment to look around before she took a flying leap into the pile.

Posted: **Wed Jul 14, 2021 1:16 am**

Thankfully she doesn't land on anything hard in the pile, but buried in the leaves she does feel something long and curved, as well as another object that rattles a bit under the leaves.

Posted: **Wed Jul 14, 2021 2:40 am**

Viv rummages around in the leaves, retrieving the items and crawling out to inspect them better.

Posted: **Wed Jul 14, 2021 2:55 am**

A bow and a quiver of arrows. Nothing fancy, probably from the school's athletics department. There's another parchment sealed around the bowstring.

On a high bough
A curious fruit
Will show you the way
To plant your boot

Posted: **Wed Jul 14, 2021 4:10 am**

She brushed off what she could as she looked around the the area. She made sure to look up into the branches of the larger trees.

Posted: **Wed Jul 14, 2021 1:45 pm**

Scanning the treeline, she spots it about thirty paces away. A red balloon, tied with a bit of ribbon to a high branch.

Posted: **Fri Jul 16, 2021 1:37 am**

While her specialty was blades she knew how to handle bows. She knocked arrow and aimed at the fruit, letting the arrow fly.

Posted: **Fri Jul 16, 2021 2:29 am**

Her arrow flies true enough to pop the balloon, with another scroll tumbling from inside it to rest at the base of the tree.

Woodland weaver
Small deceiver
Fool ensnarer
Poison bearer
Midair dancer
What’s the answer?

Posted: **Fri Jul 30, 2021 1:22 pm**

"Spider?" Her nose scrunched in slight distaste and confusion.

Posted: **Fri Jul 30, 2021 1:25 pm**

Deeper into the woods, she can spy a slight shimmer between two tree branches. Perhaps a web.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 2:06 am**

"You had better be very small..." She mumbled to no one as she approached, bow over her shoulder and retrieved arrow in hand.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 4:21 pm**

As she approaches, she can see some small twigs snagged in the web. Looking at them, she can see that they form an arrow pointing to a mercifully unwebbed branch that has another scroll tied to it with a ribbon.

As destructive as life,
As healing as death;
An institutioner of strife,
Just as prone to bless.
It is all that is good,
Yet with an evil trend;
As it was the beginning of things,
It can also be the end.

Posted: **Tue Sep 07, 2021 11:19 pm**

"Hmm." She thought a moment, then closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. "Fire..."

Posted: **Tue Sep 07, 2021 11:55 pm**

Viv can smell woodsmoke, not far from here.

Posted: **Wed Sep 08, 2021 10:38 pm**

Viv followed her nose and stowed her collected item beside a tree before stepping into the firelight.

Posted: **Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:06 pm**

Sam is sitting in front of a campfire, a picnic basket next to her.

"So be honest, was that too many riddles?"

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 2:04 am**

"Just the right amount." She said with a smile as she took a spot beside Sam.

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 2:43 am**

"Figured it'd make it a bit... special, aye?"

"Long day?"

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 3:06 am**

"I love it."

"Not too bad. Tech Studies is the bane of my existence."

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 3:10 am**

"I'm guessing the professor won't accept 'a wizard did it' no matter how earnestly you mean it?"

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 4:29 am**

"Wouldn't even let me arrange a meeting to prove it."

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:52 pm**

"What sounds good to start, here? I've got some cheese, some sausages... and a rotisserie chicken because I know your appetite."

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 3:16 pm**

“I used to think the term “hangry” was just a bit of modern human nonsense.” Viv remarked with a laugh.

“A bit of everything would be delicious to start.”

Posted: **Fri Feb 25, 2022 4:27 pm**

"Aye, that was before you could turn into a wolf," she chuckles as she starts laying out things from the basket.

Posted: **Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:51 am**

"So very true. I would hate to see the school's grocery budget."

Posted: **Sat Feb 26, 2022 6:55 pm**

"I already know what our dates cost," she chuckles. "Worth it, though."

Posted: **Sat Feb 26, 2022 8:50 pm**

"They do not always have to involve food." She teased.

Posted: **Sun Feb 27, 2022 1:35 pm**

"Aye well, if I'm honest? I'm still feeling out what you like."

"You've made such an effort to acclimate to our world and I wanted to meet you halfway."

Posted: **Sun Feb 27, 2022 11:54 pm**

"This is perfect. Even before, I found nature soothing and familiar."

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2022 4:31 pm**

"I'll remember," she smiles. "Feels good to have things to do together after the band fell apart."

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2022 5:44 am**

“It was fun while it lasted. Perhaps we can still get together and play from time to time.”

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2022 2:12 pm**

"I think I just got a bit ahead of myself there, aye? Got all excited for it, but it wasn't really what she wanted."

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:31 pm**

"When has anything gone right the very first time? Especially for us."

Posted: **Fri Mar 04, 2022 7:45 pm**

"Still, I'm the one who can actually read minds. I ought to do a better job of it."

Posted: **Fri Mar 04, 2022 8:22 pm**

"Actual conversations are good too. Now, enough self loathing. It is a lovely day and lovely company."

Xaviers!
