"I just wanna thank you for being so nice to me, meow." Tao said to Ness as she clung to her less tightly.

@Nailik: Screw it, I'm just calling it Ghost-Town from now on.
Jessica nodded and gave Volarian a "Thank you." as she started to follow him. As she walked, she turned to Savranth and said, "I remembered a particularly interesting fact in the book I read. Apparently there were about 30 children born to mixed parentage while Valencheirn was still standing. But all the data gathered points to all of them having died in the conflict. What really got my attention though was that most of them seemed to have died in the very first attack."

"Really? I guess it makes sense. But still seems odd..." Savranth said as they walked through the building.
"The General is here, in his office." Volarian said opening the door.

Vanessa would find that the ash ghosts were always present. Always doing jobs, tasks, and even playing. They seemed completely unaware of anything being wrong.

Marston was rather bewildered by everything, so he stayed silent and followed Jess.
Tao would follow Ness.
OOC: Goodnight everyone.

Ness looked around attempting to approach who would be the mayor/ town leader of Ghost-Town(@Drak has a really good idea here). Noting the ghosts' expressions, she does her best to act as if she's just a tourist. "Excuse me, I'd like to know a little bit more about your town, if you'd be so kind."
Turning to Tao, Ness gives her a warm smile and a return hug. "Don't mention it, Tao." I know you're not a psycho... but how do I prove it to everyone else...?
[hr]
Rex and Co followed Sav and Jess.

"Right, the whole thing about all of them dying was what made me a little suspicious, but I'm guessing you may have just not been counted." Which may have actually been a point in your favor. Jessica replied to Savranth. She gave Volarian another appreciative nod and a "Thank you." as she walked through the doorway.
"Yeah. I don't know what to tell you in that." Savranth said as they entered.
Tiberius looked up as they did. "To what do I owe this visit?"
[hr]
The ash ghost looked at Vanessa. "Why this is Valencheirn. Founded as an attempt to make something of the last 50 years of peace. Both Legaia and Xiphatia have constructed large sections of the town. And while, it is divided into quadrants, more or less, there are plenty of areas to mingle and attempt to meet your fellow man. We're even working on arrangements that could allow people to be couples from each nation. Not an easy task, but it could have far reaching implications, I think you'll agree."

@Dirty: Rex is at Fwrd. Base / Ness in Ghost-town / Yukino in Granite Pass, I'd move her, but I'm going to bed soon.
Ness nodded toward the ghost and inquired more. "I see... Four quadrants? What does each one hold and what are the reasons behind separating them, aside from not wanting to blow your city up?" ...Although that's happened three times over....
"Oh.... I do love watching couples. They're so cute~ <3." Bleehhh. :<
"Why would that be a challenge if people here are so close to each other?"

"Why would that be a challenge if people here are so close to each other?"
@Dirty: I think most everyone is either at the Xiphatian base near Lakewest, or is in Ghost-Town on the other side of the mountains.
@Ness: This is for Nailik. *Ahem* How does think with emoticons?
"Hello there General. We came here to ask you some things about Valencheirn, since you're the only person we know of who actually lived there. You don't mind, do you?" Jessica replied to Tiberius.

"Hello there General. We came here to ask you some things about Valencheirn, since you're the only person we know of who actually lived there. You don't mind, do you?" Jessica replied to Tiberius.
"Digging up the past, are you?" Tiberius said with a rather pensive expression. "Okay, what do you want to know?"
[hr]
"Mostly to prevent any sort of complications and to allow the people to live in the means that there are accustomed to. As well as prevent the unfortunate possibilities that can happen. And, of course allow for areas where people can meet." The ash ghost explained. "No one said people were close. In two years, there have only been a handful of children born to such couples. But that's better than nothing and may help lead us to a society where our countries no longer have so many conflicts."

"I'd prefer to think of it as something a little more respectful than that." Jessica replied to Tiberius. "Anyway, I'd like to ask how much of April 12, 8957 AE XX you remember." She glanced back over at everyone that had followed her and said, "Feel free to not let me have to do all the talking if you lot want to ask anything."
@Dirty: Well, Dot did have Rex go around and gather everyone in Lakewest together off-screen. You could just claim Hellosh is with everyone at the base because of that.

@Drak: "...It just happens..."
Ness nods a bit. "I see... Glad to hear some progress was made in that regard." Maybe I can find a registry somewhere in this city... "One last question: Was there anyone in particular who was extremely against this town being founded? ...I'm just curious who would oppose this sort of noble endeavor."

Tiberius sighs. "All I know is that we woke to news of an attack. I was a fairly low ranked officer back then and reported for duty, so did my wife, Idula. We left Savranth, in the care of a neighbor. We lived near the cities outskirts far from where the attack seemed to be focused. I was informed that the Legaians had attacked."
"Realizing, the danger, I went to pick up Savranth and met Idula there. We each accused the other of knowing of the attack and nearly came to blows before we realized that both of us had heard the same thing. That the other country had attacked us. Both of us had no reason to doubt our superiors, or think that they would hide anything from us."
"Seeing that our only response was to return to how things were before, we decided that Savranth would go with his mother, as he didn't seem to display any ability to use magic. But before we made that final, we realized he had the ability to use magic, so I took him to raise on my own as a mage."
[hr]
"No. No one that I know of. While there may have been small groups here and there, they were a minority. Hate groups and the like. Religious zealots, maybe." The ash ghost replies, it's ashen complexion and subtle light glowing amongst the ruins.
OoC: @Dirty: Just say Hellosh is with the others. We tried to bring everyone along. Because he wouldn't just be allowed freely on the base.

Ness nods toward the ghost before turning to go back to her car. "Thank you for your time, sir. It was much appreciated." Hate groups... and religious zealots...
As she continues on, something clicks. Didn't Savranth say that gods don't exist... This seems to be a universal truth through out both nations, or at least how people see it... so why would a cult form with so many people against it...? She recalls the altar from the beginning of the journey and thinks as she lies down in the back seat, Tao sleeping near Echo and Holly. Something doesn't add up... I need to check that altar out at some point... It may hold answers to this...
She lets out one final yawn before falling asleep.
OoC: Night...

"I see." Jessica said as she nodded and listened to Tiberius. "Can you tell me what you were told about the attack? Like, where the first one occurred in the city, perhaps? Or any descriptions of the weapon that was used? Anything like that?" She asked.
@Dirty: Who can actually respond? Pretty much just mine and Salty's characters.

"It happened in the middle of the night. After 50 years of peace niether side was actually taking concerns of conflict that seriously. And as far as I know... No one saw the first assault and survived. not even recording devices of any make. Though the attack seemed to be targeting certain areas. Xiphatian residential areas were heavily hit. Xiphatian as well as mixed housing. From what Idula told me, it seems she had much the same report." Tiberius explained.
OoC: @Dirty: Top floor of the main building. And he wouldn't be allowed on the base so easily. They wouldn't allow a person to just walk on in during a time of war...
Just say he came with the group. Otherwise it seems like they don't take security seriously.

No, I didn't. But I addressed you about that earlier. And yes, I feel the same. It makes it sound like they don't take security seriously. And him just nonchalantly walking around and into the General's office, REALLY makes it seem like that. Coupled with his personality which I'm sure they would have some idea about... security concerns and war.Dirty Cop James funs said:
I'd say it's more than a little suspicious that there's no record of who was behind the first attack. Jessica thought to herself as she nodded along while listening to Tiberius. "Why were the Legaians even suspicious about Xiphatia being behind the attack if they seemed to have taken the most losses from it?"
