Completed Hot bath

A hot and steamy day at Zinthia Rest

The Diamond of Kalea is located on Kalea's extreme west coast and called as such because its completely made of a crystalline substance called Skyglass. Home of the Alvina of the Stars, cultural mecca of knowledge seekers, and rife with Ethaefal, this remote city shimmers with its own unique light.

00CI moved them to next place so we don't all need to write every step. Sent a PM.

The situation was tense. But as it was made clear to Ornea that the supposed symenestra infiltration was a misunderstanding, she relaxed and let go of Lysilla again. The Inarta’s first priority was to get to the water mixer of Zinthia Rest so she could check out if the cause of the too hot water could be found there.

She had already asked the young man with the unruly black hair to support her and for the sake of Lucis reputation she decided she could as well make use of Lysilla’s talents too. Reimancy? It was forbidden to use it without permission so she sure hoped the woman was aware of that, lest she’d get herself into some serious trouble. But perhaps she was authorized to use it. It could actually be useful if Ornea needed to heat up some metal or something.


She ended up giving Lysilla a short apology and saying it would be good if she could come with Ornea and Brandon to the place behind the scenes and check pipes and mixers. Without waiting for an answer, she turned to the receptionist and explained what she was looking for and why.

After some urgent searching among a big bunch of keys, the receptionist picked one and turned to the very nondescript man who hadn’t exactly entered the group at the counter, but was hanging around like he was waiting for something. “Concino!” the receptionist said to him. “You heard it all. Here’s the key. Can you please show the way and let them in so we can get this fixed ! “

As Ornea asked for tools the receptionist bent down and picked up a leather bag. The Inarta grabbed the bad and taking lead she told the volunteers to follow. And Alses of course, if the councilor would like to supervise the work.

Concino ... Concino? Where had she heard this name before ? While Ornea followed the man along the corridors she studied him, but no bell rung. She couldn’t remember ever having seen him before. But still, that name ... Concino ? He was obviously working at Zinthia’s. This didn’t tell her anything.

They reached a door at the end of a corridor and Concino opened it. And Ivak ...the room behind was dark and full of pipes and somewhere in there the mixer was supposed to be...as it turned out there was a small lantern hanging on the wall outside and Concino took it from the hook and moved it to a hook inside.
Ornea entered and felt the heat; this room was the hottest place in Zinthia rest so far. She started to look around and the search for the mixer brought her further into the room, away from the door. For a few chimes she feared there was no mixer, but finally she found what looked to be it. She could see metal parts that were similar to what she had casted just another day ago. Metal parts, and taps...

Concino had went back out to the corridor. If the others had followed Ornea into the room with the pipes, she would expect them to come closer, hold the lantern and take part in what was to come. "Hold the lantern Lysilla" she said. "And Brandon, open the bag and give me a spanner !"

OOCHello guys. Due to things outside Mizahar I'll not be active in spring. In order to give people their XP and not keep the thread dangling, I decided to be practical, wrap up for Ornea and hand the thread in. You are welcome to post on in it and wrap up for your characters too, if you like, though this is in the grading req thread now, so if you want to get in a final post it will need to be soon.

There was a lot of tricky investigation of the mixer. Ornea recalled Edwards explanations from just a couple of days before though, when she had been working a similar mixer in Lucis. Based on this she managed to figure out what the trouble was, after a fair amount of failed experiments, that included everything people were able to think of, maybe even magic.

But finally, it actually seemed like was just the taps that weren’t in the right positions. Ornea wanted to kick herself for not examining the taps as the first thing. It was so simple. It didn’t take a master gadgeteer to turn the taps, and if she had started with checking them up first, a lot of work and time could have been spared.

She turned the taps into the right positions and the water temperature of Zinthia started to return to normal. This done, there was some odd trouble with the door of the room which had been closed while they were working. At first it seemed to not open! However...it turned out to just be stuck, not locked, perhaps due to the heat. It turned out to be possible to push it open.

Ornea handed in the tools at the reception and reported that Lucis had solved the problem. She thanked the other people involved and then she went to her private bathroom to fetch the katinu. She was done with bathing and heat and now she would go home. There was only one problem. She wasn’t able to find her keys; the key to her apartment was in her bryda pocket, but her keys to Lucis and Lucis were gone. Ornea looked around everywhere in the small room, but the keys weren’t there.

Finally she chalked it up to the hurry she had been in. She must have brought the keys with her when she went to do the repair job. Checking back at the reception they rummaged through the tool bag without finding anything. A check in the mixer room was unsuccessful too.

Her keys to Lucis were gone.

The receptionist told Ornea they would send a message if the keys turned up. That was all they were able to do for her.

Troubled, and not looking forward to telling Edward about the lost keys, the Inarta took her things and was off to Solar Winds Apartments.
