Notes: The Jesters and their Acquired Airship


Location

- Zephyr Bazaar
- Upper levels

Invitation
- Note that 'Donari extended the invitation'
- Ask for 'Nik'.

Description
- A purple and green vessel
- Apparently those are the colors of the Jesters
- Donari favors green, apparently Nik favors purple.

[ The following writing seems to have been taken down at a latter time and in less haste than the previous notations.]

The Jesters
- 'Premier adventurers of Tyria'.
- Apparently get themselves into a number of messes.
- Swimming in caves with traps.
- Fighting dragons with bad, green breath that attack the ship. (I cannot help but wonder what, by the Winds, they are doing flying near dragons, though I can't help but be curious.)
- Sometimes have parties.
- "Escorts and finders."
- Enjoy a challenge.
- Are not hired to assassinate.
- Self defense is noted differently.
- Instead, claim to wish the other side just as happy about the encounter; seek more allies over enemies.
Note: I think this is very wise and an interesting negotiation. It retains Choice, as well as being smart, keeping them in a favorable place without the lingering prospect of being hunted down; I've not seen many keep this approach, and by the Chaos itself, am I ever sick of being hunted. It'd be interesting to see how this is managed. . .
- Will explore ruins, fancy houses, whatever is their goal.
- Also apparently give other Jesters certain 'card suits' and Arcana.
Note: I am still not entirely certain of what this refers, though it was connected to fortune telling, and sounds to be important.

About Finders
- Managed to find an entire airship.

- Was 'a poor thing, trapped in a cave by Aetherblades'.
Note: By description, I wonder if it had some amount of sentience as well. Should I visit, I might have to see.
- Zaree says it is better, and that she also gave it nice colors.
- Nik wanted one. Donari found a place where one was kept, so.. they "infiltrated and departed."
Note: I appreciate this reasoning and action.
- Nik apparently has piloting that is.. questionable.
- Be wary of tangling. If I see it, remember to stay away from things that might interest the tendrils. Tangling is terrible.

Donari Mal di Bette
- Human with 4 names that are actually 3; he says di Bette is one.
- Had a second home in Lion's Arch.
- Claimed to be there when it was attacked.
- Raspy voice; I wonder if it is the miasma. I have heard there are still lingering effects. . .
- Said he once would have been surprised at being unknown.
- Has a number of other names.
- One such name was The Sun; still goes by it.
- The Sun is his 'card' in the troupe.
- Spoke of his Fool, and how he uses the cards much better; that he should be asked about them.
[blot] Claimed that the Fool's fortunes are seldom wrong. Intriguing, though I do not know how predictable life really is.
Note: I had some sort of strange.. feeling, like a recollection, when he was speaking of troupes, telling fortunes, and gave a small demonstration of what a teller of them may say. Something about it seemed.. familiar; I really must see if anything can be done about that, even if Lafey is not about. Perhaps [blot] I will go to her home again, and see if I can't figure out the proponents of that experimental problem myself sometime. Though I may ask the others to come with me, if they wanted.
- Mistook Choice for lack-thereof.
- Apparently is a lover of many people, or so it sounded like. And this is why he thought it possibly surprising that I didn't know him. How odd, that he would not remember himself those he loved... I wonder if he also forgets often.
- Also apparently a 'matchmaker'.
Note: Apparently this is one who seeks women for others' arms, and not a maker of matches used for flame. Humans are strange.
- Knows how to juggle flames while sleeping, though I've yet to see it in truth.

Miss Lagertha
- Norn
- Seems intelligent with a nice sense of humor.
- Protests against complements.
- Apparently not one of the Jesters.
- Close with Abrecan

Abrecan
- Norn
- "strong man, and a handy one, and part of the troupe." according to Donari.
- Also seems thoughtful and kind.
- Changes colors often.
- Apparently likes his cannons.
- Last was heading to the jungle with Miss Lagertha.

Zaree of the Youthful Exuberence and Colorful Paints as well as Two of Feathers
- Sylvari
- Has a second mother; apparently a human adopted her.
- Apparently again, one can have more than one mother, something I did not know.
- Has ranger magic.
- Not Soundless.
- Very excitable and seems eager to learn.
- Also a Jester.
