The Beginning

Floyd: Help you with what, pray tell?

*Has wandered to the hotel* ...Huh... I thought for sure more people would go to the hotel... I mean, it's a hotel, meant for staying at.

[zeldafan42]

Bob: *teleports beside ILS* That is fairly sound logic, I suppose.

[I_like_Nonon]

Gah! *Jumps* ....Oh phew, it's just you... Don't just appear like that...

[zeldafan42]

Bob: Ah, but what's the point of having a teleport spell if one can't use it to startle people?

[I_like_Nonon]

*is about to say something, stops to think* ...You do raise a good point, I must admit.

[zeldafan42]

Bob: *it looks like he's grinning beneath his scarf* So, any particular reason you wandered off on your own?

[I_like_Nonon]

Well... I wanted to go look at the hotel, and I thought more people would follow me... It's just always been my logic that when I arrive at a new place, I go to the place where I can hire a bed to rest in.

[zeldafan42]

Bob: Yes, inns are always useful for restoring one's HP and MP to full, so it would be prudent to know where one is.

@Sheena:

*As Drake and Sheena leave the guard's post, they are met by an incredibly suspicious person in a trench coat*

: Hey, I heard you guys wanted into the palace. What do you guys want in there for?

@ Bob and ILS

*The hotel looks like it's from the fifties, but it still looks clean as the day it opened*

[I_like_Nonon]

Exactly, exactly my point.

Hmm.... It doesn't look AS seedy up close as it looked from far away. Should we go in?

Sheena: ... Just to look around. What's it to you?

[zeldafan42]

Bob: Sure. I smell a plot hook. Besides, this early into the story, it's highly unlikely we're going to encounter anything too dangerous. *walks rather fearlessly into the hotel8

@ GanonFloyd & Nik (Sorry, I was gonna reply this post):

Frank: This... institution which has supposedly been closed down hasn't had it's power bill go down. In fact, it's been using more electricity than ever, and no one ever seems to come in or out. As men of science, we believe it to be our responsibility to investigate.

@ Sheena:

: If you want into the palace, I may very well be the man to talk to about that, along with a couple of friends. Would you be willing to come with me for a moment?

Drake: Well this guy gets my official stamp of suspicious-as-hell...

@ ILS & Bob:

*They enter into the hotel to see a man at the counter polishing the front desk with a rag*

Joe: Howdy boys! Welcome to the Scarlet Dream! What can I do for ya?

[I_like_Nonon]

Sheena: ...*Looks at Drake* What do you think? I should be able to get us out if worst comes to worst...

True, true. Besides, I've slept worse places. Then again, I think I woke up to someone trying to steal my organs... Anyway... *Follows him in* How much does a room cost?
