The old topic

[CyMage]

Rat was greeted with a raised eyebrow.  "Got anything useful?"

[Carthrat]

"Just the name of the city. Aquatica. It fits, don't you think? I wonder if there's a 'Pyromania' out there."

Carthrat shrugs.

"Anyway, I think we should set ourselves up here and see what happens. It's a large city, so I guess rumors'll come through here often enough.. we'll just see if one reaches us about Render or something.. or, barring that, lead a relatively quiet life in nowheresplane.

Heh. Unless you want to try that travelling adventurer gig again, hmm?"

[CyMage]

Sai snickered at the city names... "Imaginative locals."

"Setting up a place here doesn't sound too bad."  Looking around he continued.  "But I would go with the travel after a while.  I've never been one to live a quiet life for long.  And this place looks quiet."

[Carthrat]

"Aww. Havn't you ever wanted to meet a nice woman? Settle down? Have a few kids?"

Carthrat elbows CM in the ribs.

"Anyway, let's go see that blacksmith again."

[CyMage]

"I meet enough 'nice' women when travelling... And I never was fond of kids."

Cy waved Rat on.  "Lead on, Oh Great Medium."

[Carthrat]

"That's a shame. And I can see you making *such* a good husband.."

Carthrat makes his way to the blacksmith shop, which he scopes out..

OOC: Dune's call, I need a general overview of the shops layout.

[CyMage]

Sai blinked.  "Good husband?  Is that sarcasm I detect in your voice?"

[Carthrat]

"Hmm? Not at all. In fact, I have the perfect woman for you.. well, I did, anyway."

Carthrat chuckles.. a deep, ominous chuckle..

[CyMage]

"Somehow that doesn't reasure me... Especialy that laugh."  Cy glared.  "Talk."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat raises his eyes above CM's glare.. "Oh, no! That'll ruin the surprise! Rest assured, you're practically *made* for each other.."

[CyMage]

"Have I ever told you that I don't like surprises?  They're usualy bad."  Giving Carthrat a smile he asked.  "Can't tell your buddy?"

[Carthrat]

Carthrat grinned back. "It'll be a nice surprise, Sai. It'll surprise me if it works, it'll surprise you if you get a permenant girl, and it'll sure as shit surprise her."

[CyMage]

CM sweatdropped.  "Fine... I'll meet her.  But that's all.  Though we still have to get back first."

[Carthrat]

"There is that. Don't worry, Sai. I'm a wonderful matchmaker. Honest. Less than half my supposed pairings end in divorce. Hell, I've only had a couple suicides.. joke. It's a joke, Sai. Really."

Carthrat shrugs.

"Either way, we'll soon have a regular income, as long as all goes to plan."

[CyMage]

Releasing the gathering magic, he glared at Carhrat. "Bad joke."

Giving one final glare, he checked the area for any bystanders.
