Hunting for supplies

[Young Grimwold]

[OOC: Please feel free to post as soon as you're ready, Shadow Voice. This NPC was only intended as a stop-gap.]

Wy Sky: Smoking a pipe? If he doesn't like the Crazed Heifer's musician, he could just boo.

[Shadow Voice]

*Over in the dark and murky Ally way in which he was stood waiting Shadow Voice was beinging to get impachaint he tapped his foot on the ground, then took a long drag on his cigerate.*

*He then blew the smoke out upwards over his head. It resembled, what would later come to be known, as a smoke signel. He wasn't to sure Akira could remember where he was stood.*

"Mabye the smoke will reminded the air headed young girl were to make her delivery to."

*He grumbled under his breath.*

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira grinned to herself as she saw the smoke puff up from the side, then ignored it completely as she continued to talk to the stall holder*

"Perhaps, I'll tell him that! However, can I buy some of that material? And also.... some of that one"

*Akira points to her original choice, then over to a vibrant dark blue material that shimmered*

*The stall holder nodded and wrapped up the requested material and handed it over to her. Akira smiled and handed over 2 gold coins, which the merchant accepted with a happy smile. Akira bowed slightly to him in thanks, then turned away from Shadow Voice to look at another stall*

(OOC: Hope you don;t mind me using the NPC )

[Shadow Voice]

*Shadow Voice seethed with frustration, but all he could do for the moment was wait, wait and continue to wait some more until Akira came over to him.*

*Ths shadows that gave him his name and were his home were also in times like these his prison he could not venture out into the bright light of day to often and when he did he needed to hide his face from the world with the large hood of his cloke, for the acursed sun and its intueding light would reveal what the blessed shadows and their comforting, concealing gloom and murkyness hid.*

*For light could reveal the true nature of the trader of Information known as Sahdow Voice, so he coninued to wait and to seeth as Akira continued to play her mind games.*

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira hugged herself as she wandered along each of the stalls, ensuring that she stayed within sight of the shadows where the smoke had come from, but jus tout of reach so he couldn;t get her attention*

"Well, we'll see how he takes being messed around!" She thought to herself with a cheerful smile

[Addis Hellfire]

[OOC: Continued from "The Roaming Bozak", Marketplace section.]

The two draconians walked out of the alleyway in their own respective disguises - Addis Hellfire as Barom Grimms, Bodakis Hellfire as some wandering monk.

As he walked, Addis whispered to Bodakis. "I have grown in power, brother, and am capable of casting and withstanding more spells . . but I am still a little bit shy of your . . . how do you say . . . people skills. I will leave the bartering to you."

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira ambled along happily, her purchases slung across her back in a makeshift type of bag. She sighed as she decided to out Shadow Voice out of his misery and go over there, however, her attention was caught by a trinket on one of the stalls, and craning he head to look back at it, she walked straight into Addis*

"Oops, I'm really sorry!!"

[Addis Hellfire]

Normally, somebody would have merely stumbled back a step or two, but Addis nearly fell over and was caught by Bodakis' arm. He regained his footing and adjusted his robe. "No harm done." Addis was about to continue walking, when he stopped himself and turned towards Akira. "Excuse me, I am new to this place, and do not know the merchants here. Where can I find dry goods, mainly food, and some herbs for making potions and . . . other things." He let the last part trail off, to see how this person would react.

[Shadow Voice]

*From the ally way Shadow Voice watched this scene with great intrest, perticualy in regards to the new arrivals.*

"Hmmmm intresting....potenchial....clients it would seem."

*He muses to himself as he blows out smoke from his cigeret. It froms a haze above his head that gives an even more ominus impresion to his already sinister apperence.*

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira smiled cheerfully at Addis as he accepted her apology*

"Well, from what I;ve seen in my wanderings around here, the food stalls are located over there, and there's a stall over there that sells herbs and stuff, I donl;t make nmany potions, so I'm not sure if they'll have what you want" As she was talking, Akira pointed in the direction of the stalls, then looked around and lowered her voice as she continued speaking

"As for other things, wellI know a man who might be able to help, but he seems a little untrustworthy, I'd recommend using caution when dealing with him. I need to see him now and finish a delivery, if you;d like to accompany me?" She looked quizzically at them

[Bodakis Hellfire]

As Addis was about to say a reply, Bodakis cut in. "Yes, that would be sufficient. Please, lead the way." He was about to leave it at that, when he caught a quick glance from Addis. He cocked an eyescale, then thought of something. He spoke in a hushed tone, similar to Akira's own. "Erm, what sort of things does this person sell, and why is he untrustworthy?"

[Young Grimwold]

[OOC: Your turn, Ms. Sasuke. ]

[Akira Sasuke]

(OOC: Oops! Sorry, thought I'd posted, but I must've dreamt it! )

*Akira leaned in closer to Bodakis as she lowered her voice further*

"He deals in information, however, he has dealings with some pretty shady characters, and I get the feeling he'd try to stab you in the back given half a chance! I just don't want you nice gentlemen being taken advantage of!"

[Addis Hellfire]

[OOC: No problem. Real life has been pulling me away from the computer too, so . . . well . . . lol]

Addis listens to the exchange while scanning the area, trying to find anything odd about the situation. He was feeling paranoid, standing in a marketplace full of humans. When Akira had finished, he deftly tapped Bodakis' arm as he moved his own hand to scratch an itch on his back. As he tapped Bodakis' arm, he whispered a word in draconic to a spell. This done, he asked "If it is not private information, could you tell us what business transaction that you have with this person before? I want to know what to expect . . . what to and not do . . . I am sure you understand."

[Bodakis Hellfire]

Bodakis hadn't noticed Addis' movement to be anything other than scratching his back, and was about to say "lead the way" when he heard a familar voice . . . in his head. [OOC: Addis did not have any spells that granted telepathy when Bodakis was still alive, lol]

What do you think of the situation, brother?

Bodakis flinched slightly, being caught off guard. He was about to turn his head and look at Addis, when he heard

Do not move, do not react to me. It is I, your brother, Addis Hellfire. I forgot that I was little more than a hedge wizard when we last fought together. My power has grown to substantial levels and . . . I digress . . . the point is, I have a spell that allows the target - in this case, you - and I to communicate as we are. I can read some of your surface thoughts, but not many, so do not be alarmed. However, you can communicate with me via your thoughts, if you focus them on me. Try it now.

Bodakis paused for a moment, than

You sure have changed, brother. Er . . . this does sound sort of like a trap . . . perhaps. But, I admit I am curious to meet this person. Don't worry, I can watch your back-

Watch your self, you have paused. The mistress here is still waiting for an answer . . .

Mistress?

Just . . . just give a response . . . you remind me of Flaccus sometimes.

I think we should wait for more information.

Wise choice, my brother.
