*Lirimana blinked and looked at Sentinel when he appeared, cocking her head to the side for a moment and then shrugged. This was something she would have to ponder for a little while at a later time. Or she could simply ask the man before her..*
You're Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi, Sentinel? Can there be two of you?.. And aren't you the Manse's A.I.?How did that happen?..

* Sentinel blinked a few times, taken back by the outburst and being called by that name. He smirked a bit as he regained himself. his shimmering form becoming a bit brighter*
" No, I am Sentinel.... maybe I was Bo-Ki-Sa-Chi a long time ago.. but no, I am not anymore. Yes, I am the guardian spirit of the Imperial Manse and aid in protection and growth of Ri-...... Imperveress. I am no Emperor.
There is only one of me.. there is only One Ress and there is only one Emperor... and he needs our help, not for us to make wild accusations about ones supposed past!"
* It was obvious that Sentinel was irritated, perhaps even borderline angry... but he kept himself cool while sternly making his point to her*

*Lirimana blinked at the anger he was exuding after her simple barrage of questions. Maybe it was a bit rude of her to dump them all on him at once, but he didn't bneed to be snappy. What a sensitive subject this was! Too bad she needed information, hmm? The Twilight frowned at Sentinel, an admonishing look that a mother might give a child when displeased*
Sentinel, it doesn't matter for the purpose of my questioning that Ress now has your Essence, simply that you retain at least some of the memories of being that person. "Ri"? What was the name of this empire before Ress changed it? I know he must have, almost everything of importance to him has his name in it
*Lirimana rolled her eyes at this, having always thought that it was quite narcissistic of Ress to rename them to that sort of thing*
Besides, there's no need to be angry about me bringing up you past; especially if it's true, isn't it? And so you know, these questions I have for you are in order to help Ress, not to harm oyu. That is, unless you are hiding something
*With a light look at Sentinel she smirked ever-so-softly, the cogs in her mind already turning. What a reaction coming from this one! Maybe she shouldn't put him to the side of the suspect list, he does have access to everywhere and everything in the empire as far as she knew, and who knew what kind of strange quirks he had or what he was capable of*

* Sentinel'd smile faded as the string of questions elongated as such. he kept himself calm, but at the same time was not as diplomatic as he could have been*
" The Empire's name was Rightous,
Yes, Ress did change it.
No, I am not hideing anything
And if you have questions, just ask them, don't beat around the bush"

I believe that I have already begun asking questions, the moment you arrived, in fact. So don't be so terse and guarded unless you're hiding something. As to the questions that remain, it has been noted that frog-crotch arrows were once your favorite style of arrow to use. Now, did you make them yourself or did someone else? And if it was you, did you take any special care in the components you used?
*she knew that ash wood was a strong and lightweight wood, she could see it being used for durable arrows, and the fact that it is springy probably helps for impact. In fact, it sounded almost too coincidental, whoever made these arrows knew what they were doing when they chose this wood. If it did manage to be a coincidence, then the fletcher was a very lucky person.. Lirimana looked at Sentinel, knowing that what she said might come out rather rude, but he wasn't being very inviting, himself. It was that sort of thing that kept Lirimana short,especially since she took so long to get around and was most likely the slowest of the group. She saw it being quite possible that the others were considerably farther in their investigations at this same day...*

" Frog Crotch?! My favorite?! No. They are not tough enough for armored victims.. I used almost exclusively used broadhead arrows... and yes, I made them myself... "
* He held out his left hand, forming a shimmering broadhead arrow from pure sunlight*
" Only two component were ever used. Essence and pure skill... or were you talking about Ress' arrows?
No, I did not make those... they were fletched by someone in Ramoth. They shouldn't be to hard to find if you look.

hmm
*Lirimana raised a brow at Quar, him being the one who mentioned frog-crotch arrows being Bo-Ki's favorite.Either way, it was a conversation pusher*
So every arrow you shot disappeared after it collided with something, or did they remain for a period of time?
*the Twilight took note of where she could find the fletcher who made Ress's arrows. Something told her that he might not be too happy if they were special ordered*

*Quar shrugged, giving Lirimana the " What do you want from me... you assumed" look, before going back to watching the two speak*
" My arrows? usually, they would linger for a time... but classically, they would turn into a heavy food bearing plant... but if one were to look... the core of an arrow would remain... assuming the Rain of-...... Reign of Ress.. had fired a standard arrow. One made of pure essence would disappear, only to leave food behind...."
* To emphasize his words, he brought his fingers down, crushing the essence forged arrow into flecks of gold, which fell away and faded into nothing, a small smile playing across his lips as he remembered more of being the rule of this once thriving land*

So, if Ress did do this and used essence arrows, there's still no way to tell. However, Quar had one of these in his hide and it isn't gold and shining like yours
*Lirimana showed the arrow to Sentinel, watching carefully to make sure he didn't confiscate it. Sentinel seemed innocent, and yet she couldn't be sure for any of them. The Twilight hated suspecting those she would rather trust. If she wanted to be around that kind of person then she could have stayed outside these walls. Still, somewhere inside of her, Lirimana wanted to have them all be innocent so she could let herself trust them all. Each person had their own outlook, problem was, they didn't all match up*
What's your opinion on these happenings?

* Sentinel begain to laugh at this notion, losing his previous composure and dropping to one knee, becoming almost hysteric. No longer did Sentinel seem like a shimmering omnipresent master... but more like a trickster god.... but he calmed himself and got back to his feet, sighing a calming sigh, before he spoke*
" Ress? Make arrows of essence? That boy would be lucky if he could make an arrow out of wood, let alone essence.
As much as I hate to say it, Ress is not the strongest person to ever Exalt... I suppose the sun picked him for his charisma, but defiantly not his fighting potential. He is perhaps the weakest exalt I have ever met.... not to say he is useless, mind you... or even dumb.
And yes.. that is an arrow, but Ress knows full well that the best arrow to have is broad head... frog crotch is only for those who chose to shoot unarmored foes. I don't think he uses those at all, actually"

Dal was quite amused by this idea, and walked forward to the orb of light with a look of mixed curiosity and caution. Speaking perhaps louder than he needed to and looking around awkwardly Dal'Lumen would appear before Lirimana, Quar and Sentinels other manifestation.
"Hello?! is this thing working... can you hear me Lirimana?"
Dal looked at the rather earthy looking elemental beside lirimana, he turned around and looked at his own Sentinel, obviously not sure if it was working, unaware that they could see and hear him.
"Is that Quar-Zagot?"
He turned back around quickly looking at Quar-Zagot again
"uhhm, are you Quar-Zagot"

*Lirimana couldn't help but smirk and shake her head, chuckling. It was true, she never thought Ress was the strongest either, but with the strange happenings lately, who really knew? She blinked and looked over to the shimmering swaying image of the Zenith, her dreadlocks swaying with the motion*
D-Dal'Lumen? Where are you projecting from? Yes, I can hear you and yes this is Quar
*he was funny when he was unsure, that just made her chuckle a little more. How she wished that she would be able to fully trust these funny people*

Dal, having suddenly become aware that he was on the spot, grinned and bowed graciously.
"From the manse in Beziar, I am sorry to interrupt you, I had some questions for you and Quar-Zagot... I trust your end of the investigation is proceeding well? Things on my end so far have been... Interesting, to say the least."
Dal Squinted and tilted his head to the side, all at the same time he pinched his chin in that classically ponderous way that he did.
"How much do you know about, possession, if it is even that... Mind altering forces that would drive someone into madness, that somehow they were someone else... someone that was dieing a terrible death, being turned into crystal or some such thing?"

They're going fairly well, I think. For a large-scale investigation on such a small time-frame, of course
*Lirimana chuckled and shrugged her shoulders before thinking about his question*
Well, no one who would react like that could or would possess a person. It's most likely that she's being ridden by a past life. The best-fitting situation was the one with Bagarash-Kol, the man who used the Eye of Autochthon and built a castle so large that he had to have a drawbridge so that the sun and the moon could pass through. The Mad Prophet was turned to crystal, perhaps your Ridden is the reincarnation of her?

* Both the manse spirit and the elemental went silent for now, just smiling as they watched the two exalts speak. Sentinel because he wanted to get away from the conversation about his former identity and Quar, because he knew better than to interupt Exalts.
Quar looked slightly worried, as he was addressed as someone who needed to be spoken to... this could either mean something good or something bad, and the former Jokun knew it*
