just use dogged determination?"</strong>Miyuki had to admit that Velma and her nephew Flint couldn't have been more different in their oral skills.  He had taken a very very long time to get her off, which had been nice in it's own way, but had used stamina and determination, solid unflinching, like a stone.  Where as Velma had been more frantic, energetic, wild, and brought her to her bliss quickly and skillfully.<strong> "Thanks, I can't wait to bring that up next time we have family meal."</strong><br/><em><br/>"Say, I would like to have some of your potions, especially those which removes my fertility for a day or more." </em><br/><br/>Velma nodded,<strong>"Oh those are easy to brew as long as you have the components.  Thankfully most adventurers know what to look for out in the jungle and it's easy enough to pick them and bring them back so they're never in high demand and can add a few extra coppers to their pocket.  I'd hazard a guess that 'night tea' is probably my biggest seller, I always have some made in my lab.  Because in my experience when a woman comes in, hair bedraggled, asking for it, she wants it immediately."</strong><br/><br/>Velma explained that 'night tea' was a simple packet of pre-prepared herbs.  If brewed into a tea and consumed it would prevent fertility for a day or two.  It could even be drunk after an encounter which left a surprise inside her womb.  But she did warn that waiting too long, over a week or more, to drink it would be extremely painful if miyuki was with child.<strong>"Some women drink a cup of it once or twice a week just as a precaution and that works well enough.  You can even skip the brewing process if you really need to and just consume the packet of herbs, but I'd suggest not doing that.  The herbs are bitter and unpleasant on their own.  You'd better have a strong stomach to try doing it that way.  No the best bet, what most women do with the tea is just brew up a cup once a week, maybe five times a month if they're paranoid, and have it with a meal.  It's not the best tasting tea in the world, in fact it's pretty bitter, but not unpalatable."</strong><br/><br/>Velma rummaged in her bag and pulled out two wax paper packets and pressed them into Velma's palm just as they arrived at the Seven Hells tavern.<strong> "You can pay me for them when you get on your feet Milky."</strong>She smiled and they walked into the tavern.  The air was warm in the tavern and smelled very lightly of beer and sweat, but compared to last night it seemed like a different place.  The entire common room was empty save four sailors hunched over bowls of food, eating as if they were racing to finish.  Another man was along the side wall looking at a gigantic board with notes posted to it.  A single man stood behind the bar, leaning on his fist and not even trying to hide his yawns.<br/><br/>Velma shrugged,<strong>"It's not a morning kind of place, what can I say.  Looks like Jax left for the night, but I do know where he lives if you'd like to go there.  I'd be willing to bet you all the gold you have on you that my nephew isn't awake yet, and probably won't be till the noon bell at the earliest.  Even then, he's likely to be a bit hung over for the first few hours" </strong>She smiled and said,<strong>"Though I haven't had any major job orders lately, I could show you around Laelith if you like  Especially if you're willing to go with me on a delivery.  The Sisters Anathitae have an apartment that's absolutely amazing, and it's always good to have someone to pull me away from them.  They have a tendency to be.... hmmm.... clingy?   I also have to make a delivery to Madam Kirin's Cat house," </strong>Miyuki thought that sounded suspiciously like a brothel,<strong> "and then go put an order in at the mage's guild for some more rare components."</strong><br/><br/>She looked at Miyuki with a smile, and the bard knew that Velma was being polite and friendly, but would be happy to show her around town or take her to any of the places she'd mentioned.  Then again, it might not be the worst thing in the world for Miyuki to get out on her own a little.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc + night tea</div><div class="spoiler_body"> I left the end of this post kind of open.  Miyuki can go off on her own to explore, can go with Velma as she makes deliveries (you can pick which one they go to first) or she can ask Velma to show her around, in which case feel free to tell me in a PM or an ooc where she'd like to go, or what sorts of things she'd like to learn or know.  Velma will be very helpful as a guide as she's lived in Laelith her whole life.  Alternatively she does know where Jax's apartment is, and while she's got a PREFERENCE for women, she wouldn't be terribly opposed to going to visit the charming halfling.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Night tea</strong> - A packet of herbs that can be brewed into a tea and consumed by a woman.  Doing so prevents conception for roughly two days, and grants a high degree of infertility for a third.  Drinking Night tea after conception has occurred will cause the pregnancy to terminate, however the further along the pregnancy is, the less likely it is to work.  It is only fully accurate inside the first month, after which point massive doses of the herbs are needed.  The herbs in the packet can be consumed without being brewed into tea, but a constitution saving throw must be made, with a DC equal to 10.  If the saving throw fails, the user gets sick and throws up the herbs, negating their effect.</div></div>
