Lost Legacies Gameplay Thread (Week 4 Now Available)

It was raining in Detroit, and only the most dedicated buskers as well as their most supportive fans were outside. As was the Royal Envoy. In fact, she waited for the Reeds at their favorite fishing spot to inform them that their next task was to familiarize themselves with the Thor family.

Jin: "Oh! Da Dor family! Prindess Cooooordy!"

Daniel: "Captain Cordeila is part of the Thor dynasty? Er, was, I mean. Her being dead for centuries already."

Tina: "You can believe Jinny in this. He knows everything about Princess Cordelia."

Daniel: "But she was a pirate!"

Jin: "She hadda double-life, Danny! Pirate at sea and Queen at land! Nobody knew, haha! She was clever like dis!"

From Jin's babbling, the adults also learned that Cordelia had been interested in paintings. Hadn't that topic come up early on during the investigation already...?

Gavin and Daniel went on a date in the park.

The days were getting warmer, now that it was halfway through spring. Soon they could not just dip their toes into the fountain, but splash in it.

Daniel: "We had burgers and kisses, and I absolutely cannot complain, but... why chess now?"

Gavin: "The envoy will only tell me more about the mission if I beat her in chess. So, do your best!"

(While Gavin has the highest Logic skill of the trio, both Tina and Daniel are gamers, so it makes sense for me that they'd give Gavin pointers.)

Tina: "Well, who's winning?"

Jin: "Dad!"

Tina: "Hehe, yeah. And for real?"

The little boy looked at the chess board more attentively now, studying the formation. At this point it was easy to predict the outcome.

Jin: "Also dad!"

Royal envoy: "You won? Why are you always a step ahead of me? Argh, you're so annoying! I'm leaving now! ... I'll call you later and tell you what I know."

Gavin: "What the PLUM is going on here? First she hires me, then she makes me jump through hoops to get my next assignment and she always gets envious when I bring results!"

Tina: "Look at the situation through your detective eyes! What does your experience tell you?"

Gavin: "...that she wanted an easily manipulated pawn and now that I turned out too independent, or too alert, or both, she has second thoughts regarding her choice."

Tina: "There you have it! I mean, just because you aren't a cop anymore, didn't make all the crooks in the world vanish."

(The next task doesn't complete for me. It's probably the Call anytime mod at fault. I'll temporarily take it out tomorrow and see if that helps.)
