To Utopia, Hell...

[Dracos]

The man checked around surrepticiously and then talked in code, slipping it between casual discussion of life here.  Perusing it...

"Things are going slowly, but pretty well.  Lots of security around here, but then they're in need of trade as it stands, so they've got room to work with."

She quickly created a claim ticket.  "Check in every week or two.  Shouldn't take too long."

Mei-Ling stares at the map for a moment, before heading to the librarian, somewhat sheepishly. "Ah, you wouldn't have any paper and a quill, would you? I'd like to copy down some information.."

[Dexie Oblivion]

Darx quickly moves so his back is facing Ryda's, that way they can each keep an eye out for the first move of the wolves.

He speaks softly. "Wait for them to strike...we can launch our counter afterwards..."

[Dracos]

"Quill and pen?  You are clueless.  Just hit print.  You can get it from the printer." He pointed to some strange machine.

"Thank you. Have a good day." Jan slipped out of the guild in search of lodgings for the day, rubbing his arms at the sudden chill he felt.

Odd.

Shrugging it off, he decided to change tracks and go to a nearby bar for now. Maybe he could pick up some work while he was here. The whole town seemed vanilla enough that they probably wouldn't need him, though.

Re: Darx

The first wolf rushed Darx, leaping towards him as two came quickly behind from below.

The others swarmed Ryda, hungrily rushing in.

"Oh. Um, ok," replies Mei-Ling, rolling her eyes. No tip from *her*.

Though this whole service seemed to be free, which was really quite neat. Musing on that, she hits the print button, then goes to the machine to see what happens.

[Dracos]

Walking towards the bar, he noticed the old man, leaning relaxedly against the side of a building, reclining in the sunlight.

[Olvelsper]

"Hey, it's you. How are you, old timer?" Jan made the way up to the storyteller.

[Dracos]

The old man yawned and blinked. "Oh, what are you doing in Rome at this hour?"

A few minutes later, she got the printout of information on the local area, precisely how she'd seen it.

Mei-Ling nodded to herself. Whatever magic this was, it was very efficient-and so easy for everyone to use! No wonder this city was so prosperous-looking.

And this must only be the beginning. No doubt the more powerful wizardly types had even more brilliant devices to work with. Could the whole world be like this, or was this only a small part?

Mei-Ling took the copy and headed back to the computer, rapidly entranced once again. This time, she tries to look up reports on the tower, or the mysterious star.

[Dracos]

The tower, while clearly listed, had no expanding information on it.  It was as if they'd just ignored it.  Equally so, the computer didn't even understand the query about the star.

[Carthrat]

Mei-Ling assumes either the information on the tower wasn't supposed to be open to the public (duh), or that they really didn't know anything. Both seemed equally likely.. and it didn't matter, anyway, because she was most assuredly not going near it again.

If she could help it.

Standing up and heading to the librarian again, she decided to try and strike up conversation. "Ano, I'm planning to stay here for a week. You wouldn't know of anywhere that would.. er, give room and board in exchange for a bit of work, would you?"
