City Square
Welcome to the middle of the sleepy (yeah, right), humble mountain city of
Midgaard. The peaks that surround the somewhat smallish sprawl of constructions
about you appear a vibrant, cool purple at this distance..capped with off-white
snow at the tops. Although the town itself recieves little precipitation from
being sheltered by this atol of sheer rock, a cold wind does comb and filter its
way through..providing a brisk, though arid, atmosphere.
On the southwestern pointing end of town, a small, manmade pass in the mountain
valley allows for easy access from the bustling world outside. To your north and
west are the commercial districts..manufacturing, shipping, and selling various
consumable goods. In the east, to the 'horizon', appear to be homes of various
architectural influences..the more wealthy of said houses bordering a small
alpine lake and park. To the south, the middle-class homes continue, thinning
out just before the open gap to the highway beyond.
As for where you stand..it is the Midgaard City Square..Several government
offices and the larger buildings can be found on the sides of the slightly
misnomered elliptical, cobblestoned intersection. No actual automobile traffic
passes here, being routed through the side streets..this is a strictly pedestrian
and bicycle zone. A large, granite fountain with a statue of Odin atop it towers
nearly two stories prominantly in the center. There are also benches about for
taking a quiet repose from the hustle of daily life.

>Ryan heads straight towards the message board, a sheet of paper in one hand and
a thumbtack in the other.
>Brianna purrs softly, "Sure. Do you want to go to the cafe with me? Jean wanted
to take me out to dinner as... a treat."
>Mike seems very bored, taking off his enormously large bat and fingering it
between his hands.
>Arin sweatdrops. "...Dinner with a frog prince might be...more interesting in
the choice of cuisine than I'd like it to be."
>Hex limps out lamely from the alley, in Brianna's general direction. He looks
completely awful, with blood smeared on his face, arm dislocated, clutching his
ribs, etc. "Hey... you girl with the red hair... you gotta towel?"
>Brianna smiles at Arin. "Relax. He's paying for whatever we order. He says he's
treating me to a free meal for being his friend." Looking over towards the
battered monkey, Brianna looks at Hex concernedly. "... what happened?"

28) Ryan Today -- Notice to Midgaard Citizens
The following was tacked up, and looks like an official-type printout.
**********
ALL CITIZENS PLEASE READ
The Midgaard department of health has reason to believe that the water supply has
been contaminated with a unknown microbe. The problem is expected to be resolved
within the week, but until then, we request that you avoid city water if at all
possible, and use tap water when necessary.
**********
Any sort of background check will reveal that the 'Midgaard department of health'
doesn't exist. On the other hand, a check of the water supply will likewise
reveal that there is some sort of contamination... (page or page #mail for info
if you do tests)
Done.
>Ryan takes a step back from the board and rubs his chin, the flier he had now
tacked up.
>Hex limps right over to the girl's feet, pointing at Arin. "That punk beat me up
for no good reasonn!"
>Ryan blinks, hearing the crowd behind him, finally. Talk about inattentive. He
glances over his shoulder to look. "...?"

Brianna
You see a 5 ft. 7 in. tall girl, with a slightly relaxed posture. Her
figure is slender yet un-athletic, like a girl who's spent her whole life
just reading books. Brianna's long hair is done in a ponytail, reaching
all the way down to her hips like a red waterfall. Also, her whole manner
seems a bit unworldly and lighthearted, such as a young teenage girl.
On Brianna's body is a long black silken dress, stopping at the black
choker on her neck, all the way to the ground, reaching down to her shoes.
Also upon her body is a red sports jacket, a bit too big for her and remains
unbuttoned. Brianna's fingers, soft and freckled, covered with a few gold
rings topped with jewels. On her feet are a pair of white hi-tops, looking
well-worn and rather plain. A thick blue length of string seperates her
stomach from her waist, making the dress actually look like two pieces.
Brianna's face is freckled and pale, making her look a bit like a feline
with her green eyes and red hair. Her nose is thin and pointed, but sticks
out only barely. The ears, completely covered by her hair, stick out only
the smallest amount. Upon her cattish green eyes are a pair of thin, wire
rimmed spectacles. And to top off her apparel is a blue bow atop of her head.

>Arin hmphs. "Quite a good reason, actually."
>Brianna looks towards Arin, a bit angrily. Quite a different look since she's so
usually calm and collected. "You WHAT?"
>Ryan rubs the back of his neck . o O ( What's going on -now-...? )
>Hex keeps up his 'wounded monkey' act. "I just walked in, he started choking me,
threw mme against the fountain, and called me a LIER!"
>Mike yawns, sitting up and brushing the snow out his hair. he then stands up,
and goes off to find the rest of his clan.
>Mike leaves east.
>Arin looks at Brianna cooly. "To put it in his terms, I beat the **** out of the
little liar monkey."
>Arin waves at Hex. "Besides. Half the wounds he's sporting now, I didn't even
put on him."
>Ryan sweatdrops, and walks off. No need for him to get involved...
