You have just entered room "AND."

Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.

Adm H Sopko: ::Does a dance of happiness, which doesn't look anything like a dog doing the mambo with a frog in a tutu on a saturday night disco. Really::

Sarcazmo47: Should I get some popcorn?

Adm H Sopko: If you intend to throw it at me... no

SirAlexTheFirst: Blarg

SirAlexTheFirst: By popular request, we resume.

SirAlexTheFirst: Verity and Aurelia were going somewhere?

Sarcazmo47: Verity was waiting.

coughingpuppy: No, Verity was waiting and Aurelia was going with Aria to the inn.

Sarcazmo47: Aurelia was with Aria going to the inn.

Sarcazmo47: Jerri and Bandon were going to the pink house.

SirAlexTheFirst: Ah yes.

SirAlexTheFirst: Aurelia and Aria then.

AndrewRogue: *wheee*

Sarcazmo47: Feminie bonding!

SirAlexTheFirst: So you're going back to the inn.

AndrewRogue: Indeed, I think that was our job.

coughingpuppy: Aurelia's walking along in the sort of silence that everyone should expect from her by now. She's keeping an eye on the other people on the road, though. She feels a bit uneasy not having a weapon.

SirAlexTheFirst: The inn door is shut, the window is dark, and a "CLOSED" sign hangs in it.

AndrewRogue: *she stares sort of oddly at that* "That was... sudden."

AndrewRogue: "Do we... knock?"

coughingpuppy: Aurelia will go up and knock on the door anyway.

SirAlexTheFirst: There's no answer.

Sarcazmo47: I'm really disappointed by the lack of bonding here.

Adm H Sopko: Ditto

AndrewRogue: (*glomps Auerelia*)

AndrewRogue: "Maybe... just go in?"

coughingpuppy: She knocks more loudly. "I doubt that would be welcome...but short of breaking in, I'm not really sure what to do here."

AndrewRogue: "Why do you think they... well, closed?"

AndrewRogue: *she goes up to the window to see if she can peer in*

coughingpuppy: "The innkeeper had his mind controlled. I'd imagine he needs time to recollect his wits, if he has any left." But she isn't sure that that's all there is to it.

coughingpuppy: "Assuming our equipment was taken out, do you have any idea where it might have been brought to?"

AndrewRogue: "If they took it... then its probably wherever Jerri and Bandon were going."

SirAlexTheFirst: The interior bar looks very similar to what it looked like before, except that all the chairs are neatly stacked on the tables.

coughingpuppy: Aurelia tries to open the door to see if it's locked.

AndrewRogue: "I wish Rosa didn't have us on such a tight schedule..." *she mutters*

coughingpuppy: "Rosa?"

AndrewRogue: "Marquis Dela Rosa, the man who expects us to meet him... less then a half hour."

SirAlexTheFirst: It is locked.

AndrewRogue: "I suppose we come back empty-handed then..."

coughingpuppy: "I don't want to give up this easily, but one arrest is more than enough for today." She frowns at the door for a moment, then says, "Wait here, I'll try something else."

coughingpuppy: Casting the spell Gaseous Form. She'd turn into a vaguely Aurelia-shaped mist.

AndrewRogue: "All right." *and looks a little surprised by that*

coughingpuppy: ((Can I pull it off without a save, Alex?))

SirAlexTheFirst: On yourself? Sure.

coughingpuppy: In that case, she'll attempt to find a small crack beneath the door, in the window, or through the wall to filter through.

SirAlexTheFirst: You can slip in quite easily.

coughingpuppy: Once inside, then, she'll keep the mist form in case there are any more shut doors and such, and head up to the rooms they were in earlier to see if they're empty.

SirAlexTheFirst: They are!

SirAlexTheFirst: And very neatly made up.

coughingpuppy: Is there anything else of note that might have changed throughout the inn?

SirAlexTheFirst: Every possession of the party's that was in them is no longer there.

Adm H Sopko: Thank GOD I brought everything... I had the money

AndrewRogue: (*reorganizes his item list* ^_^)

SirAlexTheFirst: And... not that you can tell, other than the excellent job that was done repairing Karn and... gah! What's her name's work.

coughingpuppy: Is the innkeeper anywhere in the inn?

SirAlexTheFirst: Not at all.

coughingpuppy: In that case, Aurelia filters back out under the door and then reforms. She looks annoyed and possibly even a little worried. "There isn't anything in there."

AndrewRogue: *she sighs* "This is... is this how it works? Maybe I should try to talk to my dad... maybe he can help."

coughingpuppy: "Contact the dwarf and Bandon, if you can, and tell them to ask about the equipment."

AndrewRogue: ~Jerri?~

SirAlexTheFirst: ...

SirAlexTheFirst: ~Aye, miss?~

AndrewRogue: ~The inn is empty. Heck, its even closed down. You might want to ask about the stuff we had here while you're at it.~

SirAlexTheFirst: ~Okay~

AndrewRogue: "Done."

coughingpuppy: She nods. "If they don't find out what happened to it, your father might be able to find out where it went, at least."

AndrewRogue: *she nods* "Should we go back to meet the others then?"

coughingpuppy: "I don't think there's anything else we can do at the moment."

AndrewRogue: *trys to breach actual conversation* "So... where are you from?" *and begins walking*

coughingpuppy: "Toril."

AndrewRogue: "What kind of place was it?"

coughingpuppy: "It depends on who you ask."

AndrewRogue: "Well... what did you think of it?" (and feel free to press FF... just passing idle time <_<)

Adm H Sopko: Bonding is important..

Sarcazmo47: It's good for you.

SirAlexTheFirst: Arianya is DEAD. Get over it.

Sarcazmo47: ...?

Adm H Sopko: ...?

AndrewRogue: (...wah?)

Sarcazmo47: Is that Alex's way of saying "No yuri for you!"?

SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.

Adm H Sopko: I guess

SirAlexTheFirst: RP!

SirAlexTheFirst: Or hit FF

Sarcazmo47: RP!

Adm H Sopko: RP!

AndrewRogue: (*waiting on response*)

Adm H Sopko: Blasted Kirk...

Sarcazmo47: *is blasted*

coughingpuppy: "What little I saw of it? I liked being there, for the most part, other than cities." She casts a look around. "They were more...crowded...than they seem to be here."

AndrewRogue: "I wouldn't be able to compare. Asgard and Gelendar are the two biggest cities I'be seen, and they still impress me."

coughingpuppy: "I was impressed the first time I came to one, but the charm wore off quickly enough."

AndrewRogue: *she smiles gently* "Maybe its just homesickness that makes Gelendar so pretty." *she subdues a bit* "Why... why did you join Verity?"

coughingpuppy: "He's a very capable leader. I thought that by following him I'd be able to fulfill my own goals, or at least gain the power to do so." She shrugs. "The reason everyone else joined him, I suppose."

AndrewRogue: "Is that all?"

coughingpuppy: "Yes. Why?"

SirAlexTheFirst: (....?)

AndrewRogue: "I was simply curious...

AndrewRogue: "

coughingpuppy: "Probably not a very interesting answer for you, then. Our group was formed around the uses we had for each other."

AndrewRogue: "That's all? No camraderie? No friendship?"

coughingpuppy: "At times there might have been." She grins briefly, adding, "I'm probably not the one to tell you about it. Being outgoing for me extended about as far as keeping an eye on everyone else."

AndrewRogue: "How do you pass off all that happens so... so easily?"

coughingpuppy: "What do you mean?"

AndrewRogue: "You and Verity, you seem to be able to ignore whatever happens to you, and just keep pressing forward."

coughingpuppy: Aurelia is silent for a time before answering. "We don't ignore it. We keep it to ourselves."

coughingpuppy: "At least, I do and I can assume he does the same."

AndrewRogue: *she's quiet for a long time as well, before continuing her odd questioning* "And how... how did you become like this? How are you able to do whatever is 'necessary,' despite what it may be?"

coughingpuppy: "I didn't have much of a choice. But I put my emotions aside and do what I feel has to be done. I can have feelings about it later."

AndrewRogue: *and unless Auerelia feels like asking away, Aria remains silent the rest of the way*

coughingpuppy: Aurelia doesn't ask questions, and if Aria stops talking, so does she.

SirAlexTheFirst: OKay then.

SirAlexTheFirst: Jerriford and Bandon are still going out to try and find the pink house of Kate.

SirAlexTheFirst: Should we run that without Chrome, or no?

AndrewRogue: We should probably wait... <_<

Adm H Sopko: Keep up the chatter Aria!<G>

SirAlexTheFirst: Mmkay then.

SirAlexTheFirst: Regardless of what happens to them, everyone else regroups with Verity long before they do.

SirAlexTheFirst: Karn returns bearing much wood, and Hunter with his sack full of stuff, and Aria and Aurelia with nothing on them, but having bonded some.

Adm H Sopko: ...

Adm H Sopko: BWAHAHA

SirAlexTheFirst: (What?)

Adm H Sopko: Nothing

AndrewRogue: Heh

Adm H Sopko: Innuendo check....

SirAlexTheFirst: (Yes, Jerri and Bandon are probably in trouble. Anyways, moving on)

*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

Adm H Sopko: I pass...

Adm H Sopko: The DC on that nugget was like... 2

Adm H Sopko: Congrats, Alex... really

coughingpuppy: ((I think this character is doomed to have innuendoes made about her by everyone.))

SirAlexTheFirst: (.....WHAT? You people have incredibly dirty minds to corrupt all that....)

Adm H Sopko: EVERY character had something about them in that...

SirAlexTheFirst: .........

Sarcazmo47: That was....heroic.

SirAlexTheFirst: Go!

SirAlexTheFirst: RP!

Sarcazmo47: Or are we done for the night, with that little gem tucked away?

SirAlexTheFirst: Faster and harder!

SirAlexTheFirst: Or not.

Adm H Sopko: Go!

SirAlexTheFirst: Yeah, its gone.

Sarcazmo47: *GOED!*

coughingpuppy: So eventually everyone regroups.

Sarcazmo47: BAM!

SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.

Sarcazmo47: Verity kinds of hangs out and waits.

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter seems a bit better than he left, a bit somber actually as he carries the bag of tools::

SirAlexTheFirst: In a completely NON-SEXUAL manner.

AndrewRogue: *Aria arrives with Auerelia, both of them apparantly wrapped in an awkward silence... or something*

Sarcazmo47: Silence with Aurelia isn't awkward. It's totally normal.

coughingpuppy: ((I was about to say.))

Sarcazmo47: "You found nothing? Or were turned away?"

coughingpuppy: "It was closed. I looked for our equipment, but it wasn't there."

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter sighs:: "Jeez... not again..."

AndrewRogue: "We can hope Jerri and Bandon have better luck though."

coughingpuppy: Aurelia shakes her head. "Well, I didn't have much there that was important...but we should at least find out where everything went."

AndrewRogue: *she smiles weakly* "Suffice to say, I'll be rather... disappointed if we can't get our things back."

Sarcazmo47: "If the church doesn't hold it, we'll need someone with knowledge of the markets here to discern where it would have gone. But that's in the future. Karn, I appreciate your dilligence."

Adm H Sopko: "Well... if it's knowledge of the markets you need..."

SirAlexTheFirst: Karn just nods.

Adm H Sopko: "I definately can help you there... but I might not be much help once we get there... my face has become well known for some reason as of late"

Sarcazmo47: "You're studied on the markets in this area?"

Adm H Sopko: "Studied? I grew up working them..."

Adm H Sopko: "As well as the ones in Asgard and Pernolde"

Sarcazmo47: Verity blinks. "Ah."

Adm H Sopko: "It's a long story, but short version, I would have inherited a major position in one of the three biggest trading companies if I hadn't screwed up..." ::He seems to have a mixture of bitterness and sadness in his voice::

Adm H Sopko: "But I can guess what you're thinking... if the innkeeper pawned them for money, we can look as to where, right?"

Sarcazmo47: Verity nods.

Adm H Sopko: "What was in the rooms mostly? Weapons and armor? General equipment?"

coughingpuppy: "The books I had probably weren't put on the market. If they're sold, it will probably be to some mage or other."

Sarcazmo47: ((Man, if I had a nickel for every email I got, I would throw them at people in the food court.))

AndrewRogue: *sighs* "Just about everything I had. My armor, my weapons, and that Wand we had hunted for."

Adm H Sopko: ::Nods:: "If it's magical books... there is only one place he could have gone for those... there is a small store run by an independant from Whittyre that always seemed to have all the magical non-weapons and stuff

Adm H Sopko: coming to him... I've never actually done business with him though, this is just what I noticed... that wand he won't be able to sell back... but he mostly went to the Yardalion pawn store near their office. They give the

Adm H Sopko: best prices for weapons and armor..."

Adm H Sopko: (Most likely)

SirAlexTheFirst: (Sounds good)

Adm H Sopko: ::Chuckes:: "I'd actually like to see the look on his face if he tried to sell back that wand... he'd most likely get arrested."

AndrewRogue: *she chuckles, a little less enthusiastically*

Adm H Sopko: ::Looks at the silent people:: "Well... my question... what do you intend to do with this stuff, Verity?"

Sarcazmo47: "They're your posessions, are they not?"

Adm H Sopko: ::Shakes his head:: "Not that... these building supplies."

Sarcazmo47: "At a guess, build something."

Adm H Sopko: ::He rolls his eyes:: "Okay, let me try that again. Why are you going to build something?"

Sarcazmo47: "Because it seems like a good idea."

Sarcazmo47: It's clear he doesn't feel inclined to give a straight answer.

Adm H Sopko: "Anyway, housebuilding for the ego aside, we have probably 5 minutes to meet the Marquis."

Sarcazmo47: Verity snorts.

Sarcazmo47: "If the man wants me time, he can wait for my convenience."

SirAlexTheFirst: You do in fact have about that much time.

coughingpuppy: Aurelia is watching him with some curiosity; he didn't mention what he wanted it for to her, either. "We should hurry to meet with him so he can accuse us of something we had little to do with?"

AndrewRogue: "You should probably fill Rosa in Hunter, or he's likely to come storming back to town with violenence in mind."

Adm H Sopko: "I don't think there is much to say to him... he'd do that anyway."

Adm H Sopko: "So... all in favor of either A) Building Verity's Love Shack or B) Looking for our stuff, say aye"

Sarcazmo47: Verity laughs. "If he wants me, he can come find me. I don't intend to go hither and yon at his bidding."

AndrewRogue: "I wouldn't mind having time to finish things here first..."

Adm H Sopko: "So it's settled then. I'll inform him of the good news" ::He seems downright giddy to tell the Marquis this::

Adm H Sopko: ~Mr. dela Rosa, you've probably noticed our collective absense right about now. We had a little group meeting and decided that we have stuff to take care of first.~

SirAlexTheFirst: ~I understand perfectly.~

Adm H Sopko: ::Quite a surprised expression comes over Hunter:: ~Really?~

SirAlexTheFirst: ~Oh, yes.~

Adm H Sopko: ~Well... once we get everything tied up on this end, we'll contact you about where you can meet us.~

AndrewRogue: (I gotta give up. Sleep has defeated me. Sorry ya'll.)

coughingpuppy: ((That's okay. I'm starting to get sleepy, myself.))

Adm H Sopko: (Good place to end)

AndrewRogue: (Well... being that I've now dozed off like 10 times, I think its a sing :p)

AndrewRogue: *sign

Sarcazmo47: I voted for Wind Walker.

coughingpuppy: Mrrr?

AndrewRogue: G'night ya'll

Sarcazmo47: Night!

Sarcazmo47: Cohort man!

coughingpuppy: I'm heading out too. 'Night, guys.
