Yloise

That is a great idea, that way folk do not miss too many posts.

If someone is standing by, I try to acknowledge them in a emote. If they are receptive they usually come forward and respond. But at times if I am occupied with a lot of people around, it gets quite distracting to try to pay attention to one person. Because I am a part of a racial ls, I try to make sure I collect as many rpers as I can. oocly or icly, that way they can connect to more folk.

Amazing! This makes me kind of glad that I do not have much gil to my name. Being poor I guess is a blessing?

Yloise is intrigued by this Hyur, the shake was firm and confident. She very taken back by his gaze upon her. Yloise appears as a Elezen woman with light ash grey skin. She stands tall at seventy-eight ilms, and has a lean build with toned, but minimal muscle showing. Her hair is long and black, in certain lights you can tell there is a dark grey mixed into it. She has a knack to wear dressy and feminine outfits and even tho Ul'dah is dusty, she prefers to stay clean, if it is just wiping herself off with a lacy handkerchief. She wears classic flat black ear clasps on each of her ears. Her age is undetermined by looking at her, her skin is smooth and flawless. Her facial features are angled, but not pointed, but rather rounded off. Her ears stand at a good ninety degree angle from her head and are quite long for a Elezen. Dressed currently in a goldsmiths uniform, and wearing a shoulder bag along with her smithing hammer hooked on her belt. She snaps back to the present with a blushing smile, "Why yes, I am a Goldsmith. Stones? Oh my so intriguing of a question. I do prefer to work with precious stone above all gemstones. If I would have to pick a absolute favorite, it would be the opal. Opaque, cloudy, and full of color as you look into the depths of it. It can be shaped in many ways, and each will catch the lights differently, so it is quite difficult to choose which cut for a opal is best besides Cabochon. But that is a novices way of cutting corners, as to speak." She giggles huskily on her own pun. She did not mind if the Hyur got her joke or not. Again she moves her hand to pull her hair out of her face and back over her shoulder as she looks down on the confident man talking to her.

Yloise sees the Midlander approach before he spoke, but she puts away her twirling hammer and listens to his introductory question, “Perhaps the Marquise cut would best suit your elegance instead?” He asks Yloise. Yloise stops her walk, she smiles at him, and responds, “Well, I am not thinking of myself. Actually I was thinking of a design for a customer of mine.” She pauses and holds out her hand for a shake, “My name is Yloise, a Goldsmith by trade, and you are?” She gives the Hyur a once over, assessing any dangers. Yloise was on alert, but there were no clues left behind she thought that could link her to anything criminal. She was confident that her task was over, and all that was left is to transform the garnet, and sell it off. While the Hyur responds to her introduction, she also takes a glance around the Gold Court, looking for any guards or perhaps conspirators that might turn this into a ambush. The thought of that put Yloise into nervous mode, she sweeps her hair over a shoulder and adjusts her spectacles on her face with her free hand.

As Yloise walked, she pulled out her goldsmiths hammer and began to play with it in her hands. It was a bad habit, she always needed something to do with them. She continued thinking aloud, "I think Asscher is the way to go!" She laughed at her own answer and decided that for the size of the stone, the best cut was her family's trademark cut for only the largest gemstones. She passed through and into the Gold Court, smiling and playing with her hammer, taking her time to show up at the Exchange as not to raise any suspicion about her latest catch. She greets and nods to those she passes, but does not stop her casual stride towards her goal. In her mind she is already calculating the angles of each cut, for the best brilliance, and preparing for any flaws that might happen upon her prize.

Yloise was beginning to shake due to the stamina used in her escape. She pulled out a small potion bottle and drank from it, and tossing the bottle to smash into the cobblestones. She reaches over to close the bag and sets herself back to walking to the Exchange. She did not think anyone had the skill to follow her, nor did she hear anyone behind her. So she was confident that she was scott free. Brushing her long hair over a shoulder she grinned and strode confidently towards the marketplace where she decided upon polishing and shaping the stone and sell it rather than using it and setting it in a choker or bracelet. A bracelet would be too noticeable and large for a stone of this size, a pendant might do, but she decided against giving her mark of craftsmanship on a hot item. As she walked, her mind began to wander off onto which way she should cut the large garnet, "Pear would be too wasteful, Brilliant would be to obvious, and Trillion cut would look like I am trying too hard..." She taps her chin in thought as she continued past the Gold Court, on her way to Pearl Lane.

oh neeto! I cant wait to change my hair daily!

After watching and loitering for a few hours, Yloise decided tonight was the only opportunity for success. Too many folk entering and leaving to sneak through past the owners without being noticed during the early evening hours. She had to wait for the owner of the stone to be asleep and then spiritedly enter without incident. Yloise borrowed a dirty, well worn robe from a vagrant, including the odorous smell to go along with it. She cringed but had no robe of her own to cover herself with in case she was spotted. She climbed up the backside of the inn and checked each window for a occupant, and finally spotting her target sleeping inside, she crept into the room from the sil. Her foot falls muffled with her soft boots. She examined the room in the moonlight, only spotting some luggage at the foot of the bed, but she continued to look through the room to spot a small bag shoved under the side of the bed, barely covered by the blanket underneath the sleeping man. Yloise paused to make sure the blanket was not caught on the bag. She reached for the bag, only to find a string of bells tinkling as she dragged the bag out. Alarmed, her heart leaps into her throat and her heart began to race, the dizziness she experienced only caused her to put the bag under her arm and crawled out the window as the man awoke. "Eh? Wha--?" She only looked back briefly to smile as her bag was full of something, but she did not know what at this time. She scrambled for the roof and began her escape across the connected rooftops towards the Colosseum. Adrenaline was giving her speed and agility, she ran across the roofs as nimbly as a doe being chased. She began to understand the feeling of alertness and giddiness she received. Upon reaching the Colosseum, she stopped and discarded the robe, dropping it into a corner of where she climbed down. She faced a few curious onlookers and bowed to them as she walked off with her catch, towards the Gold Court, where she was to meet a buyer for the object. Yloise was damp, sweating from the exhaustion, the adrenaline fading into a strange light headed feeling. Smiling she finally opened the sack to reveal the contents. Her prize, a large uncut garnet, a book with papers and writing utensils, and a wax seal kit. She was not intrigued by the stamp on the outside of the wax stamp box, nor did she understand the heraldry of the world to notice it was the stamp of Ishgard.

Even tho I won't be in uldah much longer I will keep an eye out for some rp.

I will try to attend. Not sure how that day will go for me but I hope I won't be as late as I was last time.

Yloise awoke the next day after a good rest in a upscale inn. She was well rested and stretched a bit as she laid there under the rays of sun that were slowly creeping up from the foot of her bed. She began dressing, then upon hearing footsteps towards her door, she quickly finished getting dressed and went for the window, climbing down the stone and brick facade until she arrived on the ground floor. Some shouting was heard within but Yloise grinned and casually walked away heading towards the adventurers guild. Even a stolen bed is still better than the alleyways of Ul'dah. She had tasks to do during her last few days in Ul'dah, retrieving supplies and mounts for travel for the group. She hated walking from one outpost to the next, so she began scalping junk items and trading up to get the things she needed, stealing chocobos from innocent folk who was not paying attention, and interfering with a fancy catered dinner where they served good wine, cheese and meats. She siphoned from the kitchen staff carrying trays out to the mingling area, dumping the contents into a well hidden pack while she smiled and almost got a chance to dance with one handsome Elezen man. Of course, she could not give her real name, so she made up a name, Gal Guerre. She respectively excused herself with a wink and preceded to pick up one more tray of hors d'oeuvres to stash away, along with its accompanied silver platter. One last night. She thought to herself. She had planned to pilfer a bit more material goods to sell at the Exchange before she left the city with the mounts, but with her successes building up to a large noticeable number of mounts, and large bags, she decided to leave in the early evening to head out of town, after the children have gone to bed and most shops have closed. Yet she was sidetracked by a overheard conversation in the adventurers guild, about a large unset garnet recently mined out of the desert. Currently held in a box in a traveler's room, supposedly not under any guard or constant view. Her ego said she could do it, while her cautious self, said don't risk the chance. She debated internally about the idea she had to get inside the room, once located, but it was too early to enter without being noticed from the roof. She moved to a spot across from the inn, and kept watch, making a mental note of the comings and goings of the temporary residents

It was a dark night under a new moon. For those traveling through the streets of Ul'dah, one had to depend on the city torchlight to see through the midnight shadows. But one was comfortable, and yet able to see in the darkest areas. She was born in the dark, raised in the dark and was one of many who walked the streets without a need for caution. She enjoyed the warm breeze filtering in through the Gate of the Sultana, the arid fingers drawing moisture from her own skin. She wiped her brow, the sweat from exertion mostly from her most recent prize. She holds up the metallic chalice pilfered from an alchemists table. It was quite intricate and the stones were common, but it was a test run for her new found occupation. She stuffed the reward into her pack and continued down Emerald Avenue towards Sapphire Avenue. As she walked she smiled and nodded to those who she passed briefly, not stopping to answer any questions or inquiry on her travel. She glanced past the adventures guild, always a presence of news and tales from adventurers, but nothing of interest or anything she has not hear bragged of before from those she determined as only looking for attention to boost one's ego. She only recently gotten over the admiring of those who travel all over Eorzia. The Elezen woman brushed back her raven locks of hair out of her face as she placed her goldsmiths glasses on. She takes one last glance around and puts her crafting gloves on as she steps forward into the Exchange, gliding past screaming merchants and oblivious crafters in the middle of the street. She danced out of the way of someone loosing a single Gil at her feet, while others scramble to scoop the fallen coin, a pickpockets common distraction while the partner brushes past to obtain one's Gil pouch. The Duskwight learned this all too quickly upon her second day in the city, loosing a good amount to these common thieves. She was all too trusting to a city who was grabbing any lines of income to rebuild after the Calamity. That is when she realized the Eternal Flames will not focus their attention to a small time racket of pickpockets on their own streets. With that in mind, she attempted to achieve a license and a stall to sell her crafted wares to those in the city, but without sufficient coin to finance all of those who stood in her path to achieving this, she was low on remaining funds, and close to being kicked out of the inn she currently stayed at while looking for a new home. Upon arriving at her destination, she looked for her connection, a shady looking Hyur in a turban and a beard hiding any chance to see his mouth. She wondered how horrible it would be to have hair on ones face like that. She frowned in distaste, and beckoned the merchant out from behind his bench to come closer, she pulls the chalice from her bag and shows it to the man. They haggle for a time and then decides on a fair price, something below market for him, but enough cash for the efforts she used to obtain the item. Siphoning the Gil from his hand into hers took some time, she smiled sweetly at him while he counted the coin into her waiting hand. Feeling better that the task was now over, she flipped her straight hair back over her shoulder and out of her gray porcelain skinned face. “Good luck in getting rid of that junk.” She commented loudly to the merchant. “I do not understand why one would need a silver cup just to mix some awful potion.”

Yes I just realized, there is no multi-person ferry that you can rp while traveling?

Sounds like an interesting concept. I do not know much details about Miqote but this concept is interesting.

Yloise a transplanted Goldsmith moved into Ul'dah, is always looking for new clients to craft for. Or perhaps you just need a little help navigating the best buys in the market there? Her name is known, but not famous. It doesn't take much to send her a moogle mail or catch her walking the streets looking for new deals on stones or ore. ((She will eventually become a villain too, but I do not have a timeline for that. If you want to get involved, she can become your nemesis too.))

This is a great idea, I don't see why more folk are interested in this.

Yloise is looking to learn a combat art in character. Right now she is level 32, but because of her situation, she is only a Goldsmith at this time. She has no combat skills. I would like a teacher type to teach Yloise the art of the Monk. I would like keep this training in secret for now, because she does not want it known that she is learning to become an adventurer. She wants it as a surprise. If you have a character in that role, please look me up in game, or reply here.

I will keep an eye out for you Jezreel.
