Ovid, you can keep posting in the thread with Xu and this one too.

"I'm glad to see that I did not wake you," Lorelei begins. "King Brian arrived at the gates of Rebma and announced that he had come for an official meeting with Queen Moire. You can imagine the kind of circus and delays this created. After the reception, and meal, I spent a little time catching up with Deirdre's son, Cody, but am now free to ride with you in Garnath if that is still your plan." .

"Ahhhh I already explored Garnath and was with Xu, woman out that way either was a powerful mage or had one as an ally. She retreated, that is what caused the tremor if you felt that."

"No tremor, that I am aware of, was felt here," Lorelei responds. "Of course that could be because Rebma and Amber are not in lock-step where time is concerned. From the outside, the rate of time-flow appears to ebb and flow like the tide making it difficult to line up the hours. Well, that and Rebma is active around the clock with no day-night cycle... keeping that yard-stick in mind, longer stretches hold essentially true, weeks, month-for-month and year-by-year... Even in the short-term, I don't think we have ever been out-of-sync by more than half-a-day..." .

"I will have to keep that in mind when I come to visit. Sadly no major causes to what the Regent terms the curse could be lifted. Since you didn't feel the tremor yet, you should prepare people in case it does hit. With Rebma being a mirror you should feel it in the reflection of Garnath region. In fact you might gain some insight if you or someone you trust could watch that area."

"I will get someone on that immediately," Lorelei says. "In the meantime, if you want to visit Rebma I could shortly bring you through one of the large mirrors in the castle... I am, of course, assuming that you are in Caste Amber based on the background." .

"I would accept your offer, though if you could give me a moment. I would like to not be in heavy armor below the waves. You are correct though I am back at the castle. Would I need to look for a large mirror here for your magic to work ?"

"That will be fine. I am not currently at Castle Rebma, so I will need a few minutes to reach a mirror of sufficient size. When you are ready, place your compact against the target mirror with a reflection of it in your mirror so that I can 'find' it. Hearing you tell me you are ready will prompt me to look... in part to preserve your modesty...," Lissa tells him. .

"Very well, I shall do so. Speak to you later Princess Lorelie." He smiles and nods to her.
Then almost like it were a trump he passes his hand over the mirror of the compact and then shuts it. He heads to wash up and change into clothes that won't hopefully be too devastatingly out of place in Rebma. He will then look for a large enough mirror to perform the directions that she had given him.

The compact is closed but the connection remains active as it must be since there is no power in the mirror itself. Lorelei heads toward one of the many locations containing large public mirrors. After using another mirror to contact the castle with a report of a possible incoming tremor from Garnath and a request for observers in the corresponding region, she stops briefly to talk mainly with shop or booth owners, trying to discover small fixable problems before they become big problems, trying to keep a finger on the pulse of the city.

Ovid:
Mirrors of any size seem to be impossible to find inside the castle. A helpful servant tells him they have all been placed in storage at the command of the Regent. She does not know why but there are whispers of Chaosian sorcery.

Lorelei:
The shopkeepers mention that food is not as plentiful as before. Something in the waters has scared off the major schools of fish. Even the shellfish seem to be departing for better currents.

The shopkeepers mention that food is not as plentiful as before. Something in the waters has scared off the major schools of fish. Even the shellfish seem to be departing for better currents. Lorelei thanks them for the news and tells them that the situation will be looked into. The reduction of free-range fish will introduce difficulties but not starvation - they still have the fish-farms with the huge woven kelp-walls/cages, as well as the sea-vegetation... If the situation continues to worsen, it may become necessary to start hunting aquatic predators... She locates a transport-sized mirror and waits for Ovid to get back to her. .

The Puffer needs to eat...
If all the free range fishes move away, the farmed fish in kelp cages = steak and salad.
