A Voyage through the woods

[Dracos]

OOC: Tylor and Vash, you are starting here.
IC:

One moment you were chatting with the strange man...and now you are here, standing across from a stranger in the woods, wearing the strangest of getups, a vest of red, stockings green, a cloak as well?  It looked like something out of a picture book, but yet looking down you'd find your clothes to have undergone the same kind of transformation.  The babbling of a brook was heard as the simple harmony of nature was viewed around, large trees surrounding them as a simple dirt path wove not too far away from them in the woods.

[Brian]

Blinking languidly a single time, Tylor studies his companion, then surveys his surroundings, remarking, "These are more comfortable than my uniform."

[Dracos]

It seemed that his companion had a long wooden bow and some fletched arrows strapped to his back.  He hadn't noticed that earlier.  But then, Ueki Tylor also hadn't noticed the long sword attached at his hip, feeling surprisingly comfortable there.

[DY]

Vash was perplexed, wondering what the hell just happened. Scratching his head, he looks around and notices the stranger across from him. With a smile he enthusiastically says, "Why hello there! Who might you be?"

[Brian]

"I'm," Tylor starts, before pausing.  After a moment, where he might have listed a title, or something, he shrugs, giving a somewhat goofy, disarming grin.  "I'm Justy Ueki Tylor.  But just 'Tylor' is fine."  After shrugging, mildly surprised at how natural movement feels, even with a length of steel strapped to his leg, he continues, "Nice to meet you, by the way."

[DY]

"Nice to meet you as well Tylor! My name's Vash," he replied, still smiling. He starts to take a step towards Tylor but stops when he notices an unfamiliar weight on his back. Curious, Vash starts to inspect himself and also asks, "I don't suppose you know where we are?"

[Brian]

"Looks like a forest," Tylor says, shrugging.  "Nice break from the city, but I don't recognize it."  Eyeing the path, he then adds, "We can follow the path and see what's going on."

[Dracos]

The sound of wheels coming down the road approached, something heavy moving down the path as they talked.  If they looked near, there seemed to be a wagon making it's way through, an older man sitting before a single large horse in front.

[Brian]

Tylor looks somewhat astonished at the creature pulling the cart before relaxing back into his easy-going smile.  "Well, hello, there!" he calls, waving to the old man.  "Hi!"

[Dracos]

Dressed in a brown robe, the older man had but a few hairs left on his head, his build was wide and almost jolly, a long string around his neck holding a wooden cross.  "Hail travelers.  If you are here to rob me, I must insist, I am doing the holy lord's work, and I have naught wealth to steal."

[Brian]

"Steal?" Tylor murmurs, turning to Vash to gauge his response before turning back to the balding friar.

[DY]

Focusing his attention on the friar Vash says, "Oh, we're not robbers. Well, at least I'm not. Not too sure about him." He quickly gestures at Tylor before continuing talking. "I mean, look at this face. Does it look like the face of a hardened criminal?" He points to his face and puts on the most innocent looking expression he can, with eyes wide and sparkling while staring straight at the friar.

[Brian]

"Or this one?" Tylor adds with a shrug, pointing at his own disarming grin and generally lazy appearance.  "Anyway--  We just met, ourselves, so, nice to meet you.  Incidentally--  Can you tell us where this place is?"

[Dracos]

"They look like a couple of slackers that were up to no good," The older man nodded, rubbing his chin.  "Still, That's a relief.  You almost look familiar for some reason.  Were you at some wedding I did a few years back, lad?"  He stared at Vash a bit.  "Ah, did you get lost?  And in these woods?  These are the Sherwood forests outside of Nottingham.  The Sheriff is a tough, but supposedly fair man, soon to be wed in fact to the daughter of the former duke, to rule these lands.  It will be quite a change, but no matter.  Would you like a ride on the back into town?"

[Brian]

Tylor does some mental calculations, determines that there is likely to be free food at the wedding.

This sounds like a good idea to him, but he wasn't asked, so he turns to Vash curiously.
