Part 3: The City of Crime

[Olvelsper]

"It was a moment of curiousity about how this world was before I got here, really. Some of our fellow travelers seem to have arrived here through very odd circumstances, and it's made me think about this world. My apologies if we came off sounding interogative."

[Dracos]

"You are forgiven.  Hum, you seem to not be very flush with cash.  Maybe we could work out a deal." He considered, taping his chin.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"What would this deal be, sir?" Jan curiously asked, even as he casually took a glance about.

[Dracos]

The study was nice.  Lots of fine books on the shelves.

The man brushed his chin once and it was decided.  He walked over pulling out a rough map.  Rolling it out on the table he pointed at a marked spot a bit to the north.  "Now, there is a little raider group that tends to hang out around here.  They've been a bit of a nuisance of late and well, we don't take kindly to that.  I'm a compassionate man though, so, I'd like a few good men to take a message from me to them and then return here."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"And what would the message be?"

[Dracos]

"Just a little letter of warning.  You know?  Letting them know where they stand."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"What are they called, or look like?"

[RyderHakubi]

Outside, Ryder grunted, looking rather annoyed as he continued to use his guitar as a makeshift umbrella against the rain.

"Darx, this sucks... This thing is really freakin' heavy"

[Dexie Oblivion]

Darx opens one eye, miffed at having his mediatation interupted.

"Then put it down. A little rain never hurt anyone."

[RyderHakubi]

"Trust me my friend... the rain does everything to hurt me..."

[Dexie Oblivion]

"Hm? What do you mean?"

[RyderHakubi]

"There's a reason I bolted as soon as it started to rain earlier... I had to get away, fix myself up before the others could see me like I was..."

[Dexie Oblivion]

"Like you really are?" The Alunite opens his other eye, a soft grin forming.

"Do tell....what are you, really? I can tell there's something....special....about you..."

[RyderHakubi]

"Special... special really doesn't describe me well enough." Ryder said flatly.

"It's like this... imagine if you knew inside that you were more than what you are.  Like there's something behind the scenes of your soul emoting on you..."

[Dexie Oblivion]

"Interesting.....go on, my friend. Tell me everything..."
