[16:33] "!!!"

Maria continues to approach, her eyes wide and curious toward the ebon Ookami. Unfortunately, she did not have the social cues necessary to realize what she was doing was making him umcomfortable.

Alas, she halts in her tracks eventually, smiling softly toward the Ookami and smiling.

'A friend of yours?' Maria asks, gesturing toward the Ookami and Majora.

When it came to talk of her being a troublemaker, she simply pouts! Tis was untrue...

For the most part.
(Maria Malibu)


[16:42] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Majora Malibu transmits: "....Where?????"
[16:42] Cerulean hues carefully watch the younger Malibu mostly. Being sure to watch for the child's motions and whatnot. He had to be sure that he could interpret for his sister should she need him to.

Hands raise to gesture towards the blonde. Speaking as well so that Leloune knew what he was saying.

"Yea. I've known him for a bit. Just stopped by to get a lodestone so I can mine."

He admits. Letting his arms lower behind his back as he simply waits for responses and to see how Leloune reacts.
(Majora Malibu)


[16:42] Majora Malibu whispers to Maria Malibu: Need anythind?
[16:50] Locket Malibu says, "Hello"
[16:50] Locket Malibu says, "I don't exist"
[16:50] Locket Malibu says, "Bye"
[16:50] Majora Malibu says, "Wh-"
[16:51] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!"
[16:52] Levius W. Malibu asks, "Spelunking!?"
[16:52] Meryl Malibu ruffles Locket's hair.
(Meryl Malibu)


[16:52] Levius W. Malibu says, "I must simply come."
[16:52] An ear flickers whilst the other lowers in a hint of confusion albeit most of it had been answered with Majora's most recent comment toward him.

There's a so-so nod before a faint smile is offered all the while taking note of the gestured motions that may have just been sign language to better translate between them. It were something for the Ookami to note for sure.

"Ah--...sorry about that." He'd said, though his focus is split at the notice of the large group of Malibu currently in front of him. A raised brow makes way to his features before he looks over his shoulder.
(Leloune Vidar)


[16:52] Levius W. Malibu says, "Hi-hi."
[16:52] Levius W. Malibu says, "Good to see you all."
[16:52] Levius W. Malibu exclaims, "Tate!"
[16:52] Levius W. Malibu exclaims, "You didn't die, wahoo!"
[16:52] Tate Brier says, "Oh my god is this your sister"
[16:53] Meryl Malibu says, "Yeah."
[16:53] Lavenza Malibu says, "One of the twins, yes."
[16:53] Tate Brier says, "Malibu family gathering"
[16:53] Tate Brier exclaims, "Hoooooly!"
[16:53] Meryl Malibu says, "C'mon, say hi."
[16:53] Levius W. Malibu says, "Locket is a sweetie pie."
[16:53] Tate Brier mumbles, counting to herself.
(Tate Brier)


[16:53] Tate Brier says, "6 of ya right here."
[16:53] Lev hoists his sister up on his shoulder and waves at Tate.
(Levius W. Malibu)


[16:53] Majora Malibu says, "Funny."
[16:54] Levius W. Malibu asks, "Aw, isn't she a bundle of joy?"
[16:54] Lavenza Malibu says, "By my count there's at least one more."
[16:54] Anders Brightwood says, "Huh."
[16:54] Majora Malibu says, "Mhm."
[16:54] Lavenza Malibu says, "And I'm very good at counting."
[16:54] Maria had always trusted Majora to interpret for her. He was one of the better ones besides Lavenza who could easily interpret what she was saying to others. Perhaps it was why she trusted him so much regarding such things.

She nods at Majora, still continuing to gaze at the ebon ookami. Her stare was as innocent as it was a bit unsettling. Perhaps she knew this, wanting to toy with the Ookami and gauge a humorous reaction.

Majora, being the eldest, would know when to halt Maria's troublemaking and chide her for her teasing's. Maria had inherited the playful side of her mother's personality, as rare as it was to see it expressed from their mother.

A tender gaze nonetheless, her hues flicking to the side at the commotion mere ilms away. People speaking of war and strife. Chaos. An uncomfortable feeling creeps up into her soul, her face contorting lightly at the news. Alas, politics and war was not her purpose. Best she leave her mother do deal with such things.

She was a child, after all. And no child needed to hear such things.

Instead, she smiles at the Ookami. A friendly demeanor is given, surprisingly. Perhaps she felt sympathy given his timid nature. Maria herself was largely the same, despite being so playful.

"!!!"

She turns, only to see an army of her siblings at her feet. How kind of them to show up just for her! She'd sigh, placing a hand on her chest in pure admiration

(Maria Malibu)

[16:54] * You have been awarded 4 Levels! * [16:54] Anders Brightwood says, "There's a lot of you guys."
[16:54] Meryl Malibu says, "...Maybe."
[16:54] Anders Brightwood says, "I meant no offense to that, ma'am. I just didn't expect Levius had this many siblings."
[16:54] Levius W. Malibu exclaims, "...Ayup!"
[16:54] Levius W. Malibu says, "Big happy family, we are."
[16:54] Levius W. Malibu says, "Hi-hi, Maria."
[16:54] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!"
[16:54] Lavenza Malibu says, "It'll be even crazier when he gets kids of his own..."
[16:54] Maria Malibu hugs.
(Maria Malibu)


[16:55] Levius W. Malibu exclaims, "Buh!"
[16:55] Lavenza Malibu exclaims, "Oh, Ari!"
[16:55] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!"
[16:55] Maria Malibu thinks, "Buh..."
[16:55] Lavenza Malibu says, "Sorry my favourite twin of mine..."
[16:55] Lavenza Malibu asks, "Do you want your voice?"
[16:55] Lev brings his arms in towards his beloved sister, and gives her a big hug, as if he's a bear.
(Levius W. Malibu)


[16:55] Meryl Malibu asks, "...To Serenity?"
[16:55] Maria Malibu exclaims, "...!"
[16:55] Maria Malibu says, "GWGD"
[16:55] Levius W. Malibu says, "Well... you know most of 'em."
[16:55] Tate Brier says, "Yes, I wanted to check the shop"
[16:55] Maria Malibu is hugged TIGHTLY.
(Maria Malibu)


[16:55] Meryl Malibu says, "That'll wait a second though- gimme a moment."
[16:56] Majora Malibu says, "Ma."
[16:56] Tate Brier says, "Lavenza might be interested too.."
[16:56] Anders Brightwood says, "No, no I don't actually."
[16:56] Levius W. Malibu says, "...This is Majora, my dearest brother."
[16:56] Maria Malibu shakes her head.
(Maria Malibu)


[16:56] Tate Brier says, "I left most of my cash at home, obviously."
[16:56] Majora Malibu says, "Actually- nevermind."
[16:56] Levius W. Malibu says, "Locket."
[16:56] Anders Brightwood nods.
(Anders Brightwood)


[16:56] Levius W. Malibu says, "Little sweetie pea."
[16:56] Lavenza Malibu asks, "I'm interested in what, Tate?"
[16:56] Tate Brier says, "Hmmph"
[16:56] Tate Brier asks, "Buying gifts hmhmhmmm?"
[16:56] Lavenza Malibu says, "...Actually tell me in a sec. Maria hold still."
[16:56] Levius W. Malibu says, "This is my dearest sibling, Lavenza."
[16:56] Majora Malibu waves to Locket.
(Majora Malibu)


[16:56] Majora Malibu says, "Hello."
[16:56] Maria Malibu gestures pouring a flask into another, perhaps it was time for her to study!
(Maria Malibu)


[16:56] Levius W. Malibu says, "...This is Maria."
[16:57] Anders Brightwood nods.
(Anders Brightwood)


[16:57] Maria Malibu waves goodbye to Leloune
(Maria Malibu)


[16:57] Anders Brightwood says, "A pleasure to meet you all."
[16:57] Levius W. Malibu says, "And I am me."
[16:57] Meryl Malibu whispers something.
[16:57] Maria Malibu waves.
(Maria Malibu)


[16:57] Meryl Malibu whispers something.
[16:57] Majora Malibu asks, "Hungry?"
[16:57] Leloune waves!
(Leloune Vidar)


[16:57] Anders Brightwood smiles at Maria as she comes up and hugs him suddenly.
(Anders Brightwood)


[16:58] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Meryl Malibu transmits: "LAVENZA DID YOU WANT TO COME WITH?"
[16:58] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Lavenza Malibu transmits: "to do what"
[16:59] Maria Malibu looks at Locket, patting her head. A sigh of relief exudes from her lips, knowing that Locket was shorter than herself.
(Maria Malibu)


[17:00] Majora Malibu asks, "Ready to go, Leloune?"
[17:00] Levius W. Malibu asks, "Blue and Zadren busy?"
[17:00] Anders Brightwood says, "Oh..."
[17:00] Anders Brightwood says, "They're uh..."
[17:00] Anders Brightwood says, "Yeah, they're busy."
[17:00] Levius W. Malibu says, "Called it."
[17:00] Leloune Vidar says, "Oh-- yeah."
[17:00] Majora Malibu says, "I'll see you all later."
[17:00] The young enby would, as they had once before, create an [Illusion] glyph, so infinitely detailed, countless overlapping symbols each one only a few angstroms across. Atomic precision present with even a simple gesture. a [Mind] Rune, identical by virtue of being a near-solid disc of mana, only perceptibly different by it's Core Rune and on a microscopic scale, would form alongside it, one in their index, one on their ring finger.

"Alright now... Hold still, sis..."

They press both fingers to her temple, and as had happened once before, a strange, probing, almost uncomfortable, cold tingling would root itself in her skull, and well deeper than the bone.

The enby draws their hand back, saying "Alright, you know how it works, hon. I need to catch up to Tate and Momma though."

The thought-projection runes upon her forehead now glow with a vibrant light, plain for all to see.
(Lavenza Malibu)


[17:00] Maria Malibu waves.
(Maria Malibu)


[17:00] Anders Brightwood waves.
(Anders Brightwood)


[17:01] Maria Malibu nods.
(Maria Malibu)


[17:01] Maria Malibu thinks, "You're stinky."
[17:01] Lavenza Malibu pats Maria on the head before vanishing into a burst of superspeed.
(Lavenza Malibu)


[17:01] Majora Malibu says, "Lev. Let me know if Locket needs anthing."
[17:01] Levius W. Malibu says, "Hamburgur."
[17:01] Levius W. Malibu says, "Of course."
[17:01] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[17:01] Maria Malibu stares at the floor hamburger.
(Maria Malibu)


[17:01] Levius W. Malibu says, "..."
[17:02] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Lavenza Malibu transmits: "where are you two, momma?"
[17:02] Majora Malibu hands Maria one of her own.
(Majora Malibu)


[17:02] Levius W. Malibu says, "How nice of ya."
[17:02] Levius W. Malibu says, "...Hi-hi, Maria."
[17:02] Anders Brightwood says, "I'll leave you five in each other's company, still need to get some things done."
[17:02] Majora Malibu says, "It's why I carry multiple at once."
[17:02] Maria Malibu thinks, "Hamburgur"
[17:02] Anders Brightwood waves.
(Anders Brightwood)


[17:02] Levius W. Malibu says, "Best of luck, mate."
[17:02] Anders Brightwood says, "Again, a pleasure meeting you all."
[17:02] Anders Brightwood nods.
(Anders Brightwood)


[17:02] Lev waves back.
(Levius W. Malibu)


[17:02] {Item} You picked up Thassa Sammich. Dropped by Majora Malibu..
[17:03] Lev is idly, and gently, pinching Maria's cheeks.
(Levius W. Malibu)


[17:03] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[17:04] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Meryl Malibu transmits: "at the pretty co"
[17:05] Anders Brightwood says, "Right, that was a fun little family gathering."
[17:05] Anders Brightwood asks, "Ready to go?"
[17:05] Maria's cheeks are pinched. Her fate was sealed in this instance, for there was naught she could do but simply accept her demise.

She pouts, of course. Levius having full reign to stretch and pinch her cheeks as she pouts at him. In his mind, would there be a steady voice. One with a slight accent and drawl, yet humble and bold all the same. A feminine voice, one that he would have never heard before!

'You're stinky.' it would say. Echoing into the inner psyche of the Ookami.
(Maria Malibu)


[17:06] Anders Brightwood shrugs.
(Anders Brightwood)


[17:06] Levius W. Malibu asks, "...Oh- oh my?"
[17:06] Maria Malibu smirks.
(Maria Malibu)


[17:06] Anders Brightwood says, "Might ask Adam."
[17:06] Laurra Rose says, "He seems asleep, so."
[17:07] Laurra Rose says, "Oh, thats Abram."
[17:07] Laurra Rose says, "I get their names mixed up."
[17:07] Maria Malibu thinks, "I am still not quite used to this. But I...think you should be able to hear me? It's an Illusion rune, I think."
[17:07] Anders Brightwood says, "Happens a lot to me as well, yeah."
[17:07] Laurra Rose asks, "Where did Adam go?"
[17:07] Maria Malibu whispers: Anyway, you are stinky. I have to go practice alchemy.
[17:07] Lev immediately let go of his sister's cheeks, and squats down, looking her in the eyes. He queries:

"Do that again, was that really you?
(Levius W. Malibu)


[17:07] Anders Brightwood says, "Probably the guild house."
[17:07] Laurra Rose asks, "And that is where?"
[17:07] Laurra Rose asks, "Marfons?"
[17:09] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Majora Malibu transmits: "Hey. How much does auguria usually go for?"
[17:10] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Meryl Malibu transmits: "like 500-2000"
[17:10] 'I think so. Why? Is my...voice wierd?' she asks. Tilting her head at her elder brother.

'It's some...illusion rune that Lavenza instilled into my mind. It allows me to project my thoughts onto others for a few hours. It's...temporary, but it makes it easier to speak. The downside is...I can only speak to one person at a time.' a sigh, escapes her lips. A rather odd solution to her disability, it would seem. Better than the transceiver translating things for her.

She pats her brother's shoulder, before smiling and waving goodbye to her sister.

'I have to go practice my alchemy. Please take care of Locket? She's...'

Maria gestures, patting the girl's head.

'Very tiny.'
(Maria Malibu)


[17:12] Lev flashes the quickest, and warmest smile back, patting Maria's head and ruffling her hair ever so slightly. He speaks, his voice still excited from having heard Maria speak the first time, not registering the gravity of the situation just yet:

"No-no, your voice is great! We'll develop it, I'm sure... but... this is... great! I never thought I'd see the day.

...

Of course I will take care of her, don't call her tiny when you're barely taller than my leg, hmh! Best of luck in your alchemy, though, dear sis'."

A quick "Love ya!" is given to Maria as he hoists Locket to presumably take her for a town tour.
(Levius W. Malibu)


[17:13] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[17:13] Maria Malibu waves!
(Maria Malibu)
