My Supplication to Bast
Belair says, "Then I shan't dally. Do you, Ermelinde of the Psions pledge
to serve Bast in your endeavours and live your life as though you were
one of her worshippers, but in the name of supplicancy?"

You say to Belair, "I do"
Belair smiles

Gadiantor tells you: I'm happy for you...starting your supplication is a
wonderful thing..

Belair says, "Then from this day, the 20th of Hoerfest, 237, let your
supplicancy begin!"
Belair waves his hands and bestows the blessings of Bast upon you.
You giggle
You hug Belair
Belair hugs you
Belair says, "Mmm. I can't wait to see you within the church, Ermelinde."
Belair looks at you.
You say, "And I didn't even realize, tomorrow is my birthday. What a
wonderful present"
Belair says, "As a supplicant, there are three tasks you must always strive
to complete, long past your day of devotion."
Belair beams at you brightly.
You nod

You tell Gadiantor: And tomorrow is my birthday, too!
Gadiantor tells you: I'll have to get you a present
Secretly, Gadiantor grins

Belair says, "they are: 1) To try and meet all the fellow Bastites (and
supplicants) at all times, 2) Strive to achieve a greater understanding
of Bast and Her philosophy and 3) Spread Her word throughout the realm
as though in whatever ways you feel would help strengthen her influence
upon the us all"
Belair hmms
Belair says, "I lost my coherency somewhere in there"
Belair laughs at himself
You grin
Belair says, "You get the drift though, yes?"
You nod
You say, "Perfectly"
Belair smiles
Belair cuddles you
Belair says, "Learning Belairian very quickly. I admire you"
You say, "I didn't become a Psion because I'm just a silly little dryad"
You grin wickedly
Belair shivers
Belair says, "well, you're little. And you're a dryad..."
You say, "I lost the art of being silly, I think"
Belair says, "Of course, you are far from silly, I'll grant you that"
Belair nods at you
Belair says, "Allow me a moment within the temple, Ermelinde?"
You nod
Belair says, "I shall return momentarily."

You tell Gadiantor: It is official. I am now a supplicant of Bast
Secretly, Gadiantor cheers enthusiastically for Ermelinde

Belair enters.

You grin
Belair smiles and breathes out happily


Gadiantor tells you: I'll have to find some way to congratulate you...
To Gadiantor secretly: Ermelinde giggles
Gadiantor tells you: or is Belair already doing that?
Secretly, Gadiantor grins

Belair holds you close
You snuggle up to Belair
Belair says, "You've made my day"

Secretly, Gadiantor grins

You say, "I have met Amandia, Chass, Evana, Lavith, Nakil, Shanto, Triaina,
Silencher and Ranlin"
Belair says, "That's a fair few"
You say, "Oh and Jupicia of course"
Belair grins
Belair says, "Not Eljer?"
You shake your head no
Belair says, "He's around a bit. Only a supplicant though"
You nod
You say, "I think he posted something in the Adventurer's Guild"
Belair says, "Yep."
Belair says, "he held a sermon on vice a couple of days ago in here"
You say, "Oh, I missed it?"
You frown
Belair says, "I wasn't there, unfortunately, but I heard about it"
Belair says, "Yeah, we missed it."
Belair grins wryly
You say, "I must have been asleep... I thought it was still to come"
Belair says, "Oh, oh well. I'm sure when you meet him you could likely get
a copy it what he said"
You nod
Belair says, "I need my sanity just a little bit longer... a little bit
longer"

Gadiantor tells you: you are still by far my favorite
Secretly, Gadiantor grins
You tell Gadiantor: I would surely hope so
Secretly, Gadiantor nuzzles up to Ermelinde affectionately.

Belair grins
Belair says, "I think I will have to find sleep, Ermelinde."
You sigh
You nod
Belair says, "I am much too tired to continue on."
Belair says, "I don't think I would be much of a performance"
You say, "You went to bed right before I finished appeasing the gods the
other day"
Belair pouts
You snuggle up to Belair
You say, "That was what I did when I heard nothing from you and realized you
had gone to bed"
Belair says, "Ohh, you do know that you can think of your own tasks as well
for your supplicancy - as long as you tell us, and we agree to them"

Secretly, Ranlin smiles

You nod
Ranlin enters.
[Bast] Ranlin has entered the Temple of Bast
Ranlin says, "hi"
Belair smiles at Ranlin happily.
Belair says, "guess what?"
You say to Belair, "I did not know that, but cool"
You smile at Ranlin warmly.

You giggle

them to make hymnals of Bast and me"
Ranlin grins
You giggle
Ranlin says, "whatever happened to them?"
Belair says, "left Kaiva's clan and became a hopeful for Calypso"
Ranlin gets the idea in his thick skull and gives an 'AH' of comprehension
You blink

Ciri says, "am I interrupting?"
Ranlin says, "not really hon"
Belair says, "No, not at all. Can we help you at all?"
Ciri says to Belair, "I won't be up long but I need to speak with you very
briefly. IF you don't have time I can send you a note the next time I'm
up."
Belair says to Ciri, "I can speak with you... might I ask who you are?"
Ciri frowns slightly
Ciri says to Belair, "I am Ciri of the mages guild"
Ciri looks at you.
Belair says, "Ohh. You would be a supplicant then"
Belair says, "Do you know Ranlin and Ermelinde?"
Ciri says, "I know Ranlin."
Ranlin beams brightly.
Ciri winks at ranlin
Belair says, "Ermelinde, meet Ciri. Ciri, meet Ermelinde."

supplicant"

is?"
