[SRP] Arcadian Quest

[Harri-chan]

Charlotte jogs up to the house, and she walks around the side, peering at the garden as she caught her breath. Brushing off her faded t-shirt and jeans, she approaches the front door, curling up her hand to knock three times upon it....

"Hello? I'm lost... I was wondering if you could help... ".

[Jacqueline]

The woman stiffens, pausing in her preparations. Slowly she heads for the door, taking up post beside it just to be safe. Closing her eyes, she focusses her ears and inner sense to try and locate the source of the foreboding aura.

[Hira Kanaki]

"So Alisha should we be honest and tell her where we really come from or just make up an excuse?" Mel said whispering to Alisha.

[AshK]

Mel and Alisha- "Um...sorry, we don't accept paper as payment." the woman behind the desk says. "I've never even seen anything like that." she says, pointing to the money.

"Well what do you accept? This is all I have." Alisha said.

"So Alisha should we be honest and tell her where we really come from or just make up an excuse?" Mel said whispering to Alisha.

*Whispers back to Mel.* "I am not so sure she will believe us Mel-chan." Alisha whispered to her friend.

[Shadowmaster]

Mel and Alisha- "We only take gold and silver, really." the woman behind the desk says. "We may take copper, though I'd have to check. But we never take paper."
------------------
Loid and Angelina- The dark aura is coming from the lobby, without a doubt. And, it seems it has no intention of just wandering out. Perhaps it's worth an investigation.
-------------------
Charlotte- From inside, you can hear a bit of shuffling, and a few moments later, the door opens. On the other side is an elderly woman. She looks like she's in her late seventies to early eighties. She has a tired yet content expression on her face. "I apologize for not answering the door more quickly, I was putting the young ones to bed and I can't move as quickly as I could before..." she pauses when she sees you. "Oh my! You look like you've been through a bit of trouble. What are you doing this far from civilization?"
-------------------
Luke and Rein- After a few minutes of walking, the two of you notice Faust pulling something out of his pocket. He eyes the object for a moment before turning and walking in a different direction than the rest of you are going. "Well, seems we may be in a bit of luck. One of my contact's just got back to me. He may be able to help us out. I'm gonna go see him and meet up with you all in a little while." he says. With a flash of red light, he disappears.

"Well, any potential lead could help us out. After all, my idea is basically wandering around the forest, hoping we find something." Ash says, laughing a bit.
-------------------
Arya- Lucas takes a hold of the pendant and stares at it intently, seemingly not noticing your meow. "There's definitely a sinister enchantment upon this object." he says. "I'll need to examine it a bit to discover exactly what it's meant to do. But it's possible that the changes it caused could be undone."
-------------------
Cylestea- "Heh. Your little insults mean nothing to me. After all, I know you have much less understanding of all that's happening than I do. After all, you're on the outside looking in. I'm inside, looking out." the demon says, as he conjures a fireball with his empty hand. "But, if you're so much more knowledgable than I am, show me what you've learned in your time here." he adds, tossing the fireball at you.
-------------------
Andrew- Despite running to catch the man, you completely lose sight of him in the crowd of people who are still in the streets.
-------------------
Michael- See last update.

[Ookalf]

Andrew- Despite running to catch the man, you completely lose sight of him in the crowd of people who are still in the streets.

Great... Well, guess I'd better hold onto this. *Andrew shrugs and looks around the market place for anything else of interest.*

[Sasha]

Cylestea jumps out of the way and uses her celestial slash attack

[Jacqueline]

"Hey, wake up!" Angelina wakes Loid with some effort. "There's something going on that I need to investigate..." The new woman nods, accompanying the girl out of the door, then carefully down the stairs towards
the lobby.

[Harri-chan]

Charlotte felt quite the sense of relief washing over at the sight of the elderly woman at the door, although she did give the woman a curious look when she mentioned children. She seemed far too old for children, but perhaps they were her grandchildren. "Don't worry, lady, I'm just glad you answered at all. I... uh... kind of got lost. Do you have a telephone or something I could use?".

[Tala]

Arya's ears and tail perk up. "They can ~Nya? That would be great."

[AshK]

Mel and Alisha- "We only take gold and silver, really." the woman behind the desk says. "We may take copper, though I'd have to check. But we never take paper."

"Well okay. Here you go." Alisha says as she hands the woman some silver, gold, and copper coins.

(Sorry again for the delay.)

[Hira Kanaki]

"So Alisha you sure it'll work?" Mel said whispering to Alisha knowing the coins may not work.

[Evra]

Rein just walks along with everyone watching him leave before sighing ' i hope he's right"

[Zoey]

Luke looks curious as he mentioned that he had contacts. "Do you know any of his... 'contacts?'"

[Shadowmaster]

Luke and Rein- "I've had the...pleasure of meeting a few of Faust's friends." Ash says. "They tend to be a bit on the rough side. Not the sort you usually want to get mixed up with. As a matter of fact, one of them landed me in a dungeon for a few months about a hundred years back..."
-------------------
Mel and Alisha- The woman looks at the coins, which Alisha didn't quite remember having a moment before, takes three gold and 6 silver, and hands her the rest back. "All right." she says, taking a key out and handing it to you. "I can show you to your room now, if you'll come with me."
--------------------
Arya- "Please remember that I said it's possible. I don't want to make an outright promise now and then have to take it back later." Lucas says. "But, I think it's possible."
--------------------
Charlotte- "I'm afraid I don't know what a telephone is, dear." the old woman says. "Living as far out here as I do, I miss out on a lot of the inovations that are created in the cities. But, you're more than welcome to come in and rest for the night. We can figure out what to do about your problem in the morning." she adds, stepping out of the way to allow you into her house.
------------------
Loid and Angelina- As you walk down the stairs, you both see quite a few people in the lobby. The two that stand out are a harpy, whome Angelina may recognize as the one she saw out the window earlier, and the girl next to her. Angelina can sense that the dark energy is all around them, especially the harpy.
---------------------
Cylestea- The demon blocks your attack with his sword, grinning. "Is that the best you've got?" he asks, swinging his sword and shooting a wave of dark energy at you.
---------------------
Andrew- Nothing in the immediate are catches you eye, and judging by how dark it's getting, quite a bit of time has passed. You may want to get back to the mage to see if he's finished his work.
