*YG nods. He looks around to see how the others are reacting to the name. If Anthony Delgado is known to anyone else, then perhaps this obscure traveller from a bygone day has more relevance to the current situation than YG had originally thought.* [OOC: Robin and YG met Mr. Delgado in this thread.]

*Zeytan turns this name over in his head....its familer but from where??? At that moment he becomes aware of a tugging on his tourser leg. He looks down Malark is trying to get his attention and is blowing black and red bubbles at him......* *Then he remembers.* "Of course....Was that the bad man you told me about...the one you met at the Rocks Of Bruin when you were with Miss Midnight??" *Malark nods his head.* [OOC: Malark encounterd Mr. Delgado in the Scrolls of Bruin Thread.]

[OOC: I'd forgotten about that! For reference, the thread is here.] *YG raises his eyebrows. There is plenty to intrigue him, such as the fact that Anthony Delgado is known to others here and considered "bad", and the mention of "Miss Midnight", whom YG thinks he may have met, only today, in Warlock with Leytan. (Leytan! When the brick investigation is over, YG must find an opportunity to tell Zeytan that his half-brother wasn't hanged after all.) But one detail of Zeytan's remarks has caught more of YG's interest than the rest.* Zeytan, if it's not too intrusive to ask of, I mean, for me to ask: how did you and Malark come to be separated?

*Zeytan looked at Young Grimwold and shuck his head.*
"Miss Midnight and some of her freinds had taken shelter in the school building, where i at the time was also resideing....However the...Thing..as thats all i can think to call it that they were takeing refuge from found them and attacked."
*He stroked Malark's shell.*
"Well in the confusion Malark here took refuge in Miss Midnight's travaling bag and ended up inadvertenly stowing away with her. While i narovly avoided being entomed under a hail of falling masonry as the beast wreked the school in an attempt to get them."
"So for a while Malark travled with Miss Midnight, while I followed behind from a distance untill i caught up with them again. And it was during that spell in Midnight's care that he had met this Anthony Delgardo character....and well lets just say his insticts about him were not good."

*Phoenixflame winced as she heard about Zeytan's narrow escape, and also at the thought of her school. She looked puzzled at the mention of AD, as she'd heard of neither names for it*
"That must've been some experience Zeytan! At least you and Malark are both OK!"

'The question remains... what precisely is this Delgado's initials doing on a brick?' Julian wonders out loud.
'Maybe it's his?' suggested Kenji. 'He could be saving up for a house.'
Several eyebrows were raised at this notion.
'What?'
'The figure in white... he wanted us to find this. Somehow, he's connected to this. But how? What is it he that he wants us to do?'
Julian absent mindedly tapped the brick. The reponding sound was unlike what he was expecting though - it suggested not the dull thickness of solid clay masonry.
'... hollow?'

*When Julian tapped on the brick it not only induce the unexpected result of the hollow sound but it also caused a most bizzar reaction in "The Lurker". *
*Whom Kenji observed that at the moment of the Brick being tapped, swaye dunsteadily on his feet and moved his shrouded head in a mannor resembaling that of someone who is suffering from a bad headace, these strange movements continued for as long as the hollow sound did. Then once it had faded away...The Lurker once more resumed his stoic stance still observeing from a distances the inquirey in to the Brick.*

*Zeytan smiled at Phoinexflame.*
"Yes it was quite the experience. Espechialy for young Malark."
*Malark blew some Green bubbles. Just the Julian made his bizzar discovery about the brick.*
"Well well...the object it seems has not yet played all of its supprises. Yet the question still remains why would this Delgardo fellow leave it hovering in the middle of Wolfenden. If Malarks insticts about him were true it won't have been for a benien resson."

We, Robin and I, weren't with Mr. Delgado for very long. We were making our way into Wolfenden. He gave us a parting message, and I... I can't seem to remember it.
*YG frustratedly tries to recall what was said.*

*Phoenixflame grinned*
I could just try a teleport spell, and put it in another world? Just kidding!" she added hastily
"I;m afraid I;ve never met the guy, so I couldn't comment, Mr Grimwold, what was your impression of him? I'm sure the message will come back to you" She added with a gentle smile

'Hey,' Kenji muttered barely audibly.
'Hmm?'
'Did you see that?'
'See what?'
Edward sighed, and tapped the brick again. Once more the figure clutched his head in the manner of someone with a hangover being abused by the sound of a scuttling flea crossing the floor.
'What d'you make of that then?' Edward asked.
'Interesting' murmered Julian, placing the palm of his hand to his mouth in a manner he seemed to do every time he tried to think outside the box. 'The figure seems to have some kind of mental link to the brick, feeling what it feels-'
'I'm gonna stop you there Chief before you start hurting youself' interjected Kenji. 'Forgive my pointing the soddin' obvious, but it's a brick. Inanimate masonry. Forging a telepathic link with something you can chop in half, stick in a sock and use to bludgeon small people with strikes me as being... well, daft.'
'Then maybe it's not the brick itself. It sounded hollow, remember?' Julian said, grinning.
Kenji instantly caught on to what Jules was inferring.
'Oh no. No. I'm not buying that for a second. That brick has NOTHING inside it.'
'Well, there's a very easy way to find out,' Jules concluded. His eyes glanced from Kenji, to Young Grimwold's club, then back to Kenji again.
Edward sighed. 'I can't take you anywhere without something ending up getting hit with a big stick, can I?'

*Zeytan overhears the last part of Julian & Kenji disscusion.*
"Well i normaly preffer the brain opption before the cudrul but on this case mr....Kendo was it?? I belive your freind may just have the right idea...we may have to break this brick open to learn its secrets."
*At this Malark waves his claws exitedly and then makes a motion as though he is pointing at himself. he then scuttles over to the brick..grasps at it with his pincers and begins trying to crack it like he had so meny a ocster shell in the past.*
*Zeytan looked at him in amused bemusement.*
"I'm affraid Malark that even a normal brick of masonary is a tad to much for even your claws to break let alone this un-natural example."
*Malrk gave it one last go before blowing some white bubbles and scuttaling back to Zeytan. Zeytan smiled and picked the exasuted Mire-crab up and patted him on the shell.*
"A valient effort all the same Malark."

*Phoenixflame smiled at the group as she watched Malark's attempt to break into the brick*
"That was a brilliant effort Malark, though if you're saying that this guy reacted to the tap on the brick, I'm slightly worried about what effect smacking it would have!"

'Well, that's the point, Miss Phoenix! There was something somewhat... spectral about this fellow's appearence. Logic states it shouldn't be able to feel anything at all!' concluded Julian.
Even so, he turned his head to the figure, noting it had remained where they had left him in the mouth of the alley. And he thought loudly, even though he had no idea whether the lurker could hear him or not:
Is this what you want?
