>>25514256Report on Deadbeat LABEE, Entry #3
"Nanonanora ahead, Naaaaaaaa!," the Luknight captain of the royal riverboat announced, as the many modest Luknight homes appeared on the riverbank. Some of the Luknight stopped to look at the Deadbeats and Luknights on the boat, naaa-ing at the nontypical sight.
Soon enough, the familiar river docks and tall stone walls of Nanonanora appeared on the horizon, with only a small amount of the tall buildings peaking over, a first for many of our Deadbeat guests, but comfortably familiar to me. Kenichi asked me how such walls could be built so high and last so long. I had no answer for him, other than the grace of our Hime and the skills of our knights of architecture and engineering. It felt slightly embarassing to be left wanting of knowledge, nanora.
It was a bittersweet farewell to the riverboat. Citrora and Shige had their forces load their supplies onto the carriages set aside for our convoy to the north. A few Luknights of trade would be joining us as we traveled, but for now, our progress would need to wait, as the capitol is preparing for the Festival of the Sheep, a celebration of the birthday of one our Hime's sister goddesses. Hard labor will be hard to come by today and tomorrow (thankfully this is not the Festival of the Dragon, or it might be the whole week), but I imagine the Deadbeats are happy to explore the city, and it will give me time to check in with the wishes of the Luknight Council, and any news from /morig/ that might've be lost to us on our trip. Himesama will also address the city during the Festival, something all of us look forward to.
After an inspect of our armor and opals, they let us and the Deadbeats inside, the market stands lining the street, trying to sell cotton candy and wool armor liners before the Festival parade makes them move their stands to the sides. Cinnama informed the Deadbeats their dark chocolate would be ready tomorrow morning for them in a tasting gallery with a view of Luna's inner sanctum, talking about how Luknight chocolate is made with the candifying powers of Luna Chuubanite, and is distilled to create darker and darker chocolate. They were a bit bothered they would have to wait, but as Cinnama said, "Have it any later than 10 am and you won't sleep that night, nanora." Unfortunately, I can personally attest to this.
Puffison wished to return to his office in the University, to collect more detailed notes on arctic schizos, and recent developments after the fall of the butterfly goddess. I understand this can be a sensitive subject amongst Deadbeats, as this goddess was part of one the 'Divine Trifectas' with theirs, so I have asked him to do this covertly, though with those Agents I can never be sure I am not unheard.
For the moment, I shall accompany any Deadbeat who asks, in interest of our nations' relationship. Himesama, look upon me, both in your physical form and divine, and guide me to the noble path of Luchivalry, nanora.
Loyalty to Luna,
Lady Noravera Jaggery
