Alex watched the whole scene and she almost gagged at how the boy and blonde girl had regarded each other, barf. Alex wasn't one for any mushy gross stuff like that nonsense. She shoved her hand in her pockets and she fingered her dagger once more, her eyes once more on the gold. She then, however, heard a man from the crowd call out, "Someone has taken my money!" Alex knew it must have been the man she had stolen the small pouch of coins from and she cursed under her breath.

She ignored the boy's overdramatic bow and all and she darted away, pulling her hood back over her head. She couldn't risk being caught so she had to make a quick getaway. Her cloak streamed out from behind her and her black boots crunched against the hard ground as she turned down a small alley, one that she doubt anybody would check if they were following her.

She peaked around the corner of the building and looked at where she had stood moments before. She saw the man, he was making a lot of noise, obviously angry at being stolen from. It didn't seem like he knew she'd been the thief but you never knew.

Nile watched the moment unravel, as the black haired girl took the pile of coins "Well there goes dinner again"she sighed as she looked for someone to pickpocket, she slowly reached into a wealthy looking mans pocket only retrieving an egg.

'An egg is better than nothing' she thought sliding away from the crowd, she slide into a an alley empty except one person, she spun around looking at the dark haired girl. "Nice thieving"she commented, Nile had some better days than this one but at least she had food assuring she wouldn't go hungry for another day. "A lot or a little?"she asked eyeing the girls pocket

For the small amount of time in which the boy answered him, Siegfried had decided on what to do. He always made quick decision so there was nothing unusual about his sudden resolve. Solely due to the fact that he needed money desperately he was willing to accept the strange blonde kid as his employer. Just by looking at him making a ridiculous flashy exit the man could already predict the number of times such an attitude would tick him off in the future.
Noticing the shifting and disturbance in the crowd he was reminded to collect the money before the many thieves he suspected were present among the people had a chance to rob him completely. Perhaps he was being paranoid but he believed that after being enraged multiple times in one day chasing after a crook would be an unnecessary "bonus". He grabbed fistfuls of shiny coins and other other valuables placing them into the large pockets of his equally massive jacket. It didn't take him long to gather most of the pile and even once he was done cleaning it up a few golden object and coins remained on the table. What he already took was more than enough for now so taking the time to get those few items as well would only be harmful for his pride. To make sure his small, temporary fortune was safe he in the end sunk his hands into it inside the two filled pockets.
It was getting late and Siegfried was still determined to find himself a weapon so he set off to take a second look at what he saw but couldn't afford earlier. He took a moment to memorize the location he was at before leaving since he had to find his way back to it tomorrow.

Now contentedly having put a good dozen feet between himself and the crowd of vultures back at the marketplace, Sean sighed happily, patting his pouch full of golden coins. He was in a hurry to find a shelter for the night, preferably a crowded little pub with rich old wine and beautiful young women.
His current status of a richman had made him crave for something a little more posh - a fancy little cafe perhaps... The blonde knew what the outcome would be, however. He just couldn't stay out of trouble around aristocrats and their fat wallets since his nature was to steal, gamble and chase after women, and... who was he to deny that?
So instead of the flower patterned walls of the posh cafes, he settled for an old-fashioned pub with a bit of a Bed and Breakfast service at it's top floors.
Tugging the creaking wooden doors of the seemingly crumpling house open, Sean smiled as noises of merry drunks and chatting women washed over him like a tidal wave. This was heaven, he didn't doubt it once...
The floorboards under him whined grumpily as he entered, signalling of the new arrival and, on queue, he found many pairs of ees trained on him. He dismissed it as his good looks drawing stares and proceeded forward, leaning over the counter of the pub and wolf whistled the nearest bartender flirtily. The young man regarded him with a incredulous raise of his eyebrows, but attended to him nonetheless.
"Four small tequilla shots." the blonde ordered.
Three times as much shots later he was wobbling around the room with a glass of beer in hand, merrily treating every person in sight to a drink.

Was your charrie talking to Alex? ^^'

rojoqueen • 22 April 2013 at 5:39 PM

@hedwig68
Yes XD

hedwig68 • 22 April 2013 at 5:53 PM

@rojoqueen Ah, okay. 😋

Alex was never one for small talk, she took what she needed and that was that. She talked little and thought a lot. She rolled her eyes as the girl appeared and answered sharply, "How about you stay out of my business and I'll keep from stabbing you?" Her voice was harsh, you never knew would you could trust. This girl could turn her into the man she'd stolen from and that would not be good, keeping a low profile was how Alex was. Or, the could have her eyes set on Alex's money, no way was she having that stolen. She couldnsee the girl's eyes in her pocket, she could only guess that it was a matter of time before the girl tried to steal it. She was a thief and she was not getting stolen from.

She instead hooked her hand through a small gap in the building she was next to and she climbed up, finding another handhold close by. Alex looked down at the girl and said, "And before you ask, that's not a threat, it's a promise." She said before pulling her hood back over her head and managing to scale the rest of the building. She reached the top and she gave the girl was last look before, with a flash of red, she disappeared from sight, now hidden by the building. She counted her money, it wasn't a lot, just enough to have one or two days worth if meals.

rojoqueen • 22 April 2013 at 6:23 PM

@hedwig68

Nile watched Alex "fine fine"she said her eyes moving to the dampened wall. She sighed, if she didn't make an alliance or find food other than her egg soon, she would most likely die. "I am Nile by the way"she said watching Alex disappear.

"There goes my last hope"she mumbled as she tucked her hood over her long hair, "If you wan't some help or something, I know pretty good places to thieve from." she said slyly "To bad your running away, the people are pretty well off" she added "and often forget to lock their doors" she flashed a sly smile

hedwig68 • 22 April 2013 at 7:10 PM

@rojoqueen

Alex didn't seemed fazed by the girl's words, as she didn't even look over the building. "Whatever, I can find my own steals, I don't need help from pestering people that probably want their hand on my stuff. I'm good on my own." She told her, she was trusting the girl in her slu words. The soft tinkling of coins entering the air as she put her coins back in their pouch.

As Alex got to her feet, she looked over the building for one moment. She spotted the girl's egg and chuckled, "But good luck with your egg though." She said before spinning around annmd racing across the top of the building. She rached the other edge and she quickly climbed down, she needed to find somewhere to sleep for the night. She, however, wanted to check out the quest booth first, just to see what was going on in the world. She was always curious about that. She passed a buch of people, her hood clasped firmly on her head. She passed by the alley she knew that girl was in without a second glance. She then headed for the booth.

rojoqueen • 22 April 2013 at 7:21 PM

@hedwig68

Nile watched alex walk past, "oh well" she said smirking "to bad for her" she laughed a bit, she shook the pouch of coins which she had replaced in Alex's pouch with a bag of rocks, "I don't mind being a pickpocket" she laughed

Nile lazily started to walk away from the alley and broke into a run, Alex would surely notice in a minute or so that those were rocks clinking and not coins. Nile had a skill of pick pocketing, without people noticing that there things were gone, 'Not smart enough to walk fast past the alley' she chuckled as she thought

hedwig68 • 22 April 2013 at 7:37 PM

@rojoqueen

How could Nile have stolen her coins? Alex was counting them on the roof and she didn't get close to her again...

rojoqueen • 22 April 2013 at 7:38 PM

@hedwig68
Nile was at the edge of the alley....and alex walked past her

hedwig68 • 22 April 2013 at 7:52 PM

@rojoqueen Umm okay.

Alex walked very few feet past the alley when she felt her pocket, it was too heavy. She raised an eyebrow and pulled out the pouch emptying it, rocks falling out instead of coins. She cursed under her breath, most were words that'd make her mother have a heartattack, if Alex still lived there of course. She's a sly one, not to smart though, or she'd have realized that she went through a lot to steal only a couple of coins. She thought, Alex had had a bad day, not able to get much money, so the girl had gained very little anyways, Alex would steal some more later, probably off some poor drunk fellow that wouldn't even notice the money gone for hours. She shook her head and continued on calmly, her eyes darting around occasionally, her hand still coughing the dagger she had hidden inside her cloak.

Alex found the booth easily but she stopped midway, she saw a small boy sitting on the ground, he seemed rather hungry. Alex sighed, he reminded her much of her little brother, and she walked towards him slowly. She pulled out a small apple from her cloak pocket, something she'd bought earlier that morning, she been wanting to save it but she instead held it out to the young lad. He looked at her for a moment before taking the apple quickly. He smiled slightly in thanks and then hurried off to eat it. Alex continued to the booth without another word. (Eh, had to prove Alex wasn't a completely horrible person, she can be nice if you catch her unan good mood. XD)

rojoqueen • 22 April 2013 at 8:04 PM

@hedwig68

Nile emptied the bag into her hand, "Only 10 silver coins" she cursed as her eyebrows furled, she walked over to a cart full of fruit and nicked a few. She walked towards the quest booth slowly, hoping to see Alex again, 'Maybe she hid more on her person' she thought

Nile saw alex and ducked behind a fat drunk man, who smelled of putrid vomit and rotten oranges, 'oranges?' she thought wondering where her mind had come up of that, she reached her little hand into his pocket retrieving a pouch made out of rotten oranges, 'no wonder' she chuckled inside throwing a silver coin hoping to attract Alex's attention.....

hedwig68 • 22 April 2013 at 8:24 PM

@rojoqueen

Alex was reading one of the newest quests, it as saving a Dragold and her eggs. They wanted the two eggs stolen and Alex smiled at that, Stolen? Who better to do this job then a thief? She asked herself as she read, This quest is perfect for me, and I'm sure that these eggs must be worth a lot if somebody seems to want them. She then her a soft clinking sound and she looked down as a silver coin bounced off her boot. She raised an eyebrow and picked it up carefully, examining the coin. She shoved it into her pocket nonchalantly and she looked around for the owner of the coin.

Alex didn't have to look far, she saw a shadow behind a drunk man and she could only guess that it was the coin thrower. She chuckled and said, "I know you're there,'what are you scared of me or something? Hiding behind some old drunk man?" She hollered and then turned back to the booth without waiting for a reply, she smiled as she reread the quest, "This is a quest I want to take." She said aloud, though not to loud, her voice was still rather quiet, not a whisper but still quiet. She pulled her hood down once again, she did this frequently because often, minutes after she had pulled it up, it'd bother her in some way and she'd have to pull it down again. Then she'd pull it back up minutes later, she never understood why she ever did that.

Camilla wouldn't let her boy get away that easily. She shot the man one more look that said 'Stay away, he's mine.', before heading off after Sean. The girl stuck to crowds, watching as her boy decided to step into a pub. Her lips curved up in a deceptive smile as she stepped in minutes after him. Camilla stayed a good distance away from her boy, but close enough so that she could see his every move.

The girl suddenly caught the eye of another girl, this one with black hair, staring in her boys direction. Camilla watched as the black haired girl stood up and headed her boys way. The blonde girl stood up as well, glaring daggers at the other. Before long, they were close enough within striking distance. Camilla 'accidentally' bumped into the black haired girl, sending her into a man holding drinks. As the other girl apologized, Camilla slipped over to Sean and placed her hands on his shoulders and leaning in so her lips almost touched his ears.

"Hello, there." She said slyly.

Nile watched, "no you just won't come near a stinky old guy"she yelled back, watching alex at the booth, 'a quest?' she thought, 'Maybe I could be successful?' she leaned against what she thought was wall, but turned out to be a cage of a snarling dog, she jumped up it ripping a hole in her cloak, she cursed and walked slowly over towards a small well, "where am I going to get another cloak like this"she said to herself "Stupid dog!"she yelled

Amdis noticed a lot of commotion at a particular pub. He followed his curiosity to the front door. A tall burly man stopped him from entering by firmly placing his boot upon Amdis' armor. "This cost more than your entire family," Amdis said, drawing his sword. "I don't care if it came from a god, you ain't goin' in that pub, boy." Amdis chuckled a bit and drew his sword all the way. It gleamed in the sun, it's intricate carvings beautifully illuminating. The bouncer grinned too, his yellow teeth gleaming almost as bright as Amdis' sword. He pulled a longaxe from his back and brandished it at Amdis. Amdis quickly disarmed the fellow and brought his sword up through the poor man's throat. He pulled out a handkerchief and casually wiped the blood from his sword. He spun around on his heel and entered the building. Amdis noticed the red haired boy, covered with women. He grinned and sat at the bar. "I'll have your finest wine," he called out. "Not unless you can afford 100 golden coins you won't," the barkeeper replied gruffly. Amdis popped one gold coin from his pocket and spun it on the table. "Let's play a game. if this beauty lands on heads I only have to give you this one for the wine. However if it lands on tails, I'll give you 200 gold coins." The barkeeper stiffened and glared at Amdis. "Okay boy," he said. Amdis flipped his coin and landed it on heads. The barkeep handed him the bottle of wine and Amdis slipped off into the crowed. The barkeeper picked up the coins and a look of anger crossed his face. The coin had heads on both sides.

It remained a mystery even to the man himself how he always managed to end up in a crowd of irritating, noisy folk. True upon entering the lively little pub he was not bothered by any of the, in most cases, drunk people inside but even their presence was enough to tick him a bit. He knew he was being unreasonable and angry for a lousy reason but he didn't intend to become any less grim until he left the stifling place.
After siting at one of the tables for only a few short minutes he stood up and headed for the door. Most of the persons he passed by payed enough attention to notice his massive figure and move out of the way in time, saving themselves from an unpleasant experience. It would be fullish to expect all of them to be smart enough to not get in the way of the annoyed giant but even the less keen ones knew well what they should do once they noticed the large piece of metal fastened to the mans back. It was a broad sword, not too beautiful and far too heavy to be of much use to anyone else. Due to its size it seemed to attract attention but it caused fear and most wouldn't come too close to Siegfried due to it. That's the reason he liked it so much.
He was half way to the door and in a hurry to get out but he stopped for a moment upon seeing a familiar pair in the crowd. Even though one of the two was his employer it wasn't that expected that he would recognize them since he forgot peoples faces and names quickly. Still these two blonde creatures were somewhat "peculiar". Siegfried observed them for a second but soon the strong wish to rush outside and hide at some quiet isolated place returned to him. He continued careful not to be seen by the two. At first he estimated that there was a nice amount of distance between himself and them but once he realized he was even able to hear them slightly over the noise of the whole place he understood that they were much closer than he had thought.

@bunnyshadow @onyx @hedwig68 @pirateseaz @rojoqueen I've missed you darlings! =3 God, I sound like Sean xDDD
-

She had come as thunder, blindingly catching his attention without him even having looked at her. The silky purr in his ear matched the disarming softness of her hands as she regarded his shoulders with a touch, fingers dipping into his worn skin.

The loud but merry beat of the music, the clinking mugs of ale, even the constant brook of chatter (loud and quiet alike) faded into the background as only /her/ voice reverberated in his head. Frankly, he wasn't sure if it was the girl's presence that had such an effect on him or if he was fainting, but he indulged fully in the rarely breathtaking moment.
His eyes briefly slipped closed and he let his head loll down, hanging from his shoulders until the echo of the seductive words wore off.
As soon as his daze faded, caramel pools snapped open again, his neck craning back in the mean time. He finally caught sight of the dazzling girl and flashed a crooked smile upon seeing the small path in the crowd she had left behind her. For a moment he regretted not having witnessed her entrance - he liked to imagine the blindingly white creature slicing trough the crowd with ease. He wondered how far off from the truth he was - probably not by much.
Within a second, his hand swooped down to capture hers again and he pressed a fleeting peck on the knuckles of her pale fingers. Rising lightly, he had intended to regard her with a proper bow, but ended up plopping down ungracefully. A wave of nausea had passed. Sean mentally took a note to thank the chair beneath his ars|e for being there... God, so many drunken thoughts. Then again, every victory called for ale, so he didn't regret ever taking those shots.
Snapping out of thought, he remembered the girl, whose hand still remained in his grasp. He hummed in delight, sighing afterwards.
"En ta beaute git ma mort et ma vie..." (In your beauty rests both my death and my life) he lazily purred, alchohol having full control of his words. Not that it was a lie, but later he was sure he would thank himself for having spoken in French rather than english.
"If you're wondering..." he drunkenly slurred afterwards. "...that meant 'you're pretty' in the fanciest way possible."
A proud and silly puppy smile graced his lips now.

@nightmare

@rojoqueen

Prepare for the first actual fight guise O3O
Magic system created, just use magic to learn it.

Samail the Goblin:

Samail slipped through the door leading in the pub. A cloak was drawn over his wretched head, and he had bathed in colognes to cover his goblin stench. He would seem as an old short man to the crowd. He had one mission, that was to get some money, and lots of it. His beady, black eyes caught the gleam of gold. A certain drunken fellow covered in alcohol and lasses. Surely a rich man. The goblin protruded a dagger from his long, overhanging shirt sleeve. It's crudely crafted blade and handle was obviously the handywork of a goblin. His kind wasn't very popular in areas populated by men. Particularly because of there black heart, horrible stench, and hideous appearance. He hopped up in front of this drunken fellow. From that close, the man had to smell the goblin's awful fumes.

@jupiter_hollow PREPARE TO FIGHT!

Samail the Goblin
LEVEL 1
Attack: 2
Defense: 1
Magic: 0
Health: 2

Notice his stats don't equal 10, that is because he is a measly little goblin, not a human.

Goblin attacks Sean
~Goblin's Attack did 1~
~Sean's Defense did 3~
~Goblin's Attack failed~

Your move, Sean. Run, attack, perhaps decide to cast a bit of magic to learn the new magic system.

jupiter_hollow • 24 May 2013 at 9:09 AM

@pirateseaz Samail has a booty that just won't quit! x'D
@onyx @bunnyshadow @nightmare @hedwig68 Stand aside peoplez! Let Sean make a fool of himself.
-
Sean was completely engulfed with staring at the pretty girl in front to notice the small hunched over creature making his way through the crowd. He could smell the goblin just fine, however. It wreaked of blood and dirt, both caked over it's skin, masked by cologne. When the distance between them came down to ten meters, Sean couldn't help but scrunch his face in disgust and pinch his nose.
"Apologies darling." he regarded the angel, waving a hand in front of his face to lessen the dizzying effect of the stench. His senses were extra dulled by the alchohol but that did little to block the horrifying smell. The people around him bustled with disgust. Many left the bar. Seemed like the population of this enclosed space was cut in half and still going. This, of course, didn't mean the pub wasn't crowded. It still was, just less so.
Sean himself didn't feel like leaving yet. He'd offered another tequilla and didn't intend to leave a good drink behind. In a hurry, he grabbed the glass and began working on downing it.
His peripheral vision caught the gleam of iron far too late. Glass flew everywhere, slicing his cheek as well as the bridge of his nose. Sean's eyelids took on a bit of shards as well, but, having closed them on instinct, at least his eyes were intact. the goblin's blade had been swung towards his face, the creature intent on rearranging his features (apparently), but the glass cup he was sipping from took on the blow. Sean opened his eyes to find the tip of the blade inches from his iris...

What luck! (He wasn't even being sarcastic...)

Upon quick thinking he flung the cup away, wrenching the blade away from his face. He found himself completely defenseless against the quickly advancing goblin. Not that the small wretched thing was too dangerous, but it had good aim and a nice blade. And Sean... well, Sean was drunk.
He made an attempt to snatch a knife over from the bar, but ended up accidentally rolling over the counter and plopped down on the ground with a groan.

Camilla let out a light laugh at Sean's words."Thank you." She replied, smile hiding the delight that he was already drunk. It made it so much easier for her. Camilla's thoughts came to a halt when a certain rancid smell mixed with strong cologne reached her. The girl scrunched her tiny noise in disgust, turning around just in time to see a goblin swinging a dagger at Sean.

Camilla backed away quickly, thankful that the glass had taken the brunt of the blow instead of Sean's face. She stared as the boy(man)(guy) toppled over the table and onto the ground. No suprise. He was drunk. The girl slipped a sharp, silver dagger with reddened edges out from her sleeve and held it in front of her.

"Are you all right?" Camilla asked just as she thrusted the dagger at the goblin, not caring if it hit or not. She was to busy eyeing Sean to see if he had any life threatening injuries that'll make him die quicker than she could take his money.
