[Astra]

[Lucatiel]

There's a knock at the door and then it quickly opens, revealing the young Lucatiel and her ever-by-her-side Carbuncle. Perhaps having not thought about it, she seems dressed as usual and not specifically for a temple or jungle or anything specific - her long white dress and boots. However, she did have the foresight to bring a small backpack that is now strapped to her back, and the Carbuncle is carrying a small bag wrapped around it with medical supplies aplenty. If it had features that could convey emotion, it might seem upset but blessedly it is ever stoic.

“Astraaaaa! I'm here! Treasure!” The girl cheers loudly and excitedly, looking around the house before landing her eyes on the woman herself. “I'm totally ready for adventure!” Her excitement continues unabated.

[Astra]

Astra house was warm upon entry, but darkened. A Pleasant mixture of spices added to the air.

“Greetings Lucatiel, if you care to wait for the others upstairs, I have everything setup for us there.”

She walked up the stairs beckon Lucatiel to follow to the sitting area with a ritual circle.

[Lucatiel]

“Okay!” The girl happily follows, looking around to no avail as she does. She takes a seat near the circle, looking at it curiously while she waits. “Oooooh….”

[Tretesta]

There was another knocked on the door, which swung open to reveal a none-too-amused hyur. Tret was certainly geared up for something; steelcapped boots over long slacks that had pockets near the knees, what appeared to be a pocketed canvas button down shirt, a loaded rucksack, and a metal tipped quarterstaff secured by the outer straps of the pack. With a grunt he unloaded and set the bag down on the ground, then turned to close the door behind him and step out of the way “Hey! anyone home still or did I miss the fun?”

[Astra]

“Mister Tretesta, is that you?” Astra voice called from the second floor. She called out again,“We're up here, Oh! Did you bring rope?”

“Miss Lucatiel, do you study arcanist magics from a sharlyan scholar?”

[Lucatiel]

“Huh? Shar-lay-uh? Umm… Wassat? Is that those weird people that live on an island far away from everyone?” The girl looks confused but not entirely unsure, having heard about something similar.

[Astra]

Astra looked at Lucatiel, furrowing her brow,“They are scholars that prefect their usage of aspects magic.”She looked down,“or so I am told, uh… who is teaching you then?”

[Lucatiel]

“Ohhhhh… Nope! I'm teaching myself! And umm, Vinalo helps a lot! That Lalafell from the bar the other night! They've helped me figure out how to control my aether!” She looks absolutely proud of herself.

[Tretesta]

“Rope? Yeah I've got plenty of rope.” Soon, a head of blue appeared coming up the stairs, but stopped at seeing the women and the circle. He wouldn't speak out about the former, but hesitated for a few moments before he continued up the stairs “…yeah… Rope was always a 'must have'. Along with a few other things. Do I need to bring everything up here or …”

[Astra]

Astra raised an eyebrow,“Vinalo knows Aether?”

Astra looked over to Tret,“Preferably, unless you only want to bring your body and not your pack. The attunement is done. Just waiting on A'erina, and ummm I forgot his name already.”

[A'erina]

Fashionably late as usual despite being just up two or three sets of fucking stairs. A'erina finds herself outside in the yard of Astra's home, usual attire on, satchel ever present and both her Greatsword and her Axe, strapped across her back, a Bandolier of sorts keeping the two in place. Close attention at the tavern would have saw her with a Sword she had no desire to bring along to a place like this, a gift from F'loki for Starlight, but is was too heavy and she hadn't practiced enough to get used to it's weight yet, opting to leave it at home, instead bringing her favoured sword which was much Lighter and perhaps slightly more expendable, and could be replaced if she should lose it or break it. She looked at the outside of the house and the surrounding Goblet for a minute, after all, this was her home too. She let out a big sigh and nudged the door with her foot as it opened slightly. “ …The fuck? ” She gripped the handle of her blade and proceeded to kick the door as it swung open. It appeared quiet for a few seconds but then she heard voices coming from upstairs. She made a face like she ~~had just watched someone get smacked in the face with a can of Twisted Tea~~ had just done something she shouldn't have, and proceeded to close the door behind her as if nothing had happened.

[Haimus]

Haimus came barreling up the stairs outside of Astra's estate, poor sap overweight and out of breath. His eyes were glosses over, he looked like he was on a bender from the night before. More or less still drunk, he had just entered prior to A'erina entering. He made no means of communicating with the others, just looked like he was constantly on the verge of passing out or vomiting. He only carried a sword at his waist, and his attire looked quiet tight for him.

[Tretesta]

With a sigh, Tret turned and headed back downstairs for his bag…. Only to find a hulk of a man waiting for him. Tret found himself taken aback, circling around the stranger slowly as he judged the precarious look on their face “Er… Ello. Easy now, big guy…. Hey Astra? I think we've got an uninvited guest… Looks drunk as-” He turned immediately as the door banged open again to reveal Rina “Son of a… At least I know you belong here. Careful of this guy. I think he's about to tip…”

[Lucatiel]

Excited by the sounds from below but unwilling to go look herself, Lucatiel cheerfully calls downstairs. “Treeeetty who is iiit!? Is it Reeena!?” She sounds quite eager for A'erina's entrance, though not for any specific reason.

[Astra]

Astra made her way down stairs, to see the Highlander,“Really, I paid you for another job and what do you do? Get drunk!”She sighed,“He an extra body, Team, this is Harold.”She walked past them and made her way to the kitchen.“where is it…” pulling the eorzean version of ginger root, peeling a slice, and returning to the group. Waving the group to follow her back up stairs.

Haimus corrected “Hai..” hiccup “Haimus”

Astra was clearly annoyed by the inept new comer. Shoving the slice of root at him.“Eat it or you'll vomit during the teleportation.”

[A'erina]

A'erina looks the rather big fellow up and down, looking at Tret. “ Don't care, never seen him before, unless he's one of Balric's boys, fuckers are always drunk and when they're not they about as useful as a parasol in a sands, but he don't look familiar to me.” She proceeds up the stairs noticing the man had nothing else but a sword on him. Gears in her head turning as she looked at Astra and Haimus briefly before heading up the stairs “ Seems fishy, just what have you got planned, rabbit. ” She'd ask herself in her head.

[Tretesta]

Tret remained careful around the inebriated man, listening carefully for “the noise”. He took his time loading up his pack again and brought up the rear guard ascending the stairs, dropping his burden closer to the ominous circle. “Right then… Anything to do before we go? Anything new youd like to share since we last talked?”

[Lucatiel]

Now spying A'erina who had made her way upstairs, Lucatiel comes to a stand, excitedly bouncing on her feet. “Reeeeeena! You're here!” She stretches out her arms as if hoping for a hug, but even she knew one wasn't coming.

Hearing Tretty, she turns her head to listen in, curious on what preparations remained for their expedition.

[A'erina]

A'erina moves around to her side and just pats Lucatiel's head. “ Of course I'm here. Where else am I going to be? ”

[Lucatiel]

The girl smiles, accepting of the head pat.

[Astra]

Astra tending to the drunkard, “Not really,” pointing to the leather bound shards around, the circle. The circle itself has writing not well known to Eorzean language unless you looked carefully. “Shards are a means of attunement to the point in Golmore. We stand in a circle, I do an spell, poof we there” looking over the young man again, “Maybe not poof we are there, but pretty close.”

Astra grabbed the necklace shard creation and plopped Haimus down on his point of the circle, placing the the necklace around his neck.

A soft snore came from the man.

“Teleportation should wake him up.” she muttered with a sigh.

[Lucatiel]

There is a drawn-out “ooooooh” from Lucatiel in amazement at the woman's explanation, and she looks at the circle very curiously now. Quickly does she drop to her knees to look closer at all of it, though it means virtually nothing to her.

[Tretesta]

Tret reached down and placed a hand on his stomach, then shook his head and crouched down with his bag, checking an outer pocket “Likely wake me up too… Let's not burn time then. The longer we sit here, the more likely I am to just leave…”

[Lucatiel]

Lucatiel looks over at Tret, looking a bit worried. “What, nooooo! We're gonna have an adventure, don't go!”

[Astra]

Astra grabbed a bag, and a jacket that really seemed no purpose other than fashion. Wearing something not normal to her attire, a leather bounded corset, with matching pants, slightly heeled boots that rose to her calfs. The sleeveless jacket with open pleats nearly touched the ground after pulled it on. Her hands were gloved. She handed the rest of the shards out. Slipping her makeshift shard necklace over head and slipping the backpack on.

“Let's not waste any time, the desert does get hot if we wait to long.”

[Lucatiel]

Lucatiel takes the makeshift necklace, happily slipping it on without a second thought. It clinks a bit when placed on top of her emerald necklace, but otherwise sits well. She looks down at it, admiring it happily.

[A'erina]

A'erina takes it and wraps it around her wrist. “ All set. ”

[Tretesta]

Tret shouldered his pack with some effort and stood up straight, taking the necklace and pulling it haphazardly over his head “….Desert? I thought we were going to a jungle….”

[Astra]

“Golmore is an interesting place,” Astra smiled and took a place in the circle. “Don't lose those, they can get us there and back.”

Astra clapped her hands. Rather excitable,“Please stand in one of the circles with in this larger circle, then we can go. Make sure nothing on you is outside of it.”

[Tretesta]

Tret simply stares at Astra, adjusts his back, and then moves as instructed, never taking his eyes off her

[A'erina]

A'erina does as shes asked, double checking to make sure it's all good.

[Lucatiel]

Lucatiel moves into a circle, picking up her Carbuncle and holding it in her arms like a small dog, idly playing with it's paws. “Ready!”

[Astra]
