'Hey LP - whats wrong with Vex, he seems really low' she said smiling sweetly @ LP.
*smiled back*
Well, we can't all have party moods at the same time now can we?

Vex, I know some people that specialize in padded cells, they could take and redo the bar if you need it.
It may come to that...sooner rather than later...

*growls under her breath after a sip of the whiskey, and sets the glass down on the bar*

Stag walked in and saw a glass laying on the floor. He picked it up and the drop that fell off steamed as it hit the carpet, so he put it down alot more carefully.
He saw Letisha on the sofa and put a hand over his face
'Must everyone use thier brains for little more that a sponge for drink? I suppose elves can't hold it that well then.' He went over to Tish and sat by her side.
'Are you ok my dear?'

*pushes open the door and enters the corridor, padding out into the hallway*

*Puts the second glass at Jon's couch*

Later people! I'm gonna have a party rebuilding my closet.
*gets the hammer and disappears upstairs again*

Enjoy, LP.

'I am fine darling' she said,

'Just having one of my funny days - Nairobi is at her friends house, they are growing up quickly' she smiled.

'I have sent Buffy to stud, shes gonna have a foal!' Tish giggled, grabbing stags arms excitedly.

*Puts the second glass at Jon's couch*

Later people! I'm gonna have a party rebuilding my closet.
*gets the hammer and disappears upstairs again*

'An interesting pasttime, but each to his own. Dont get hooked or anything'

*growls under her breath after a sip of the whiskey, and sets the glass down on the bar*
Did I just hear you purring..?

*he smiles and drinks half of his juice mixture*

*smiles in amusement*

And when have you ever known me to purr?

OOC: STAG u have a tg.

'I am fine darling' she said,

'Just having one of my funny days - Nairobi is at her friends house, they are growing up quickly' she smiled.

'I have sent Buffy to stud, shes gonna have a foal!' Tish giggled, grabbing stags arms excitedly.

His eyebrows shot up and he jumped up with them
'A foal? That is wonderful news! How long, when?'

'well as long as it takes' she giggled,

'The stud owner said that shes such a stunning mare, he would cut the covering costs' she said smiling, engaging in a long passionate kiss.

*smiles in amusement*

And when have you ever known me to purr?
That's just it. I never have. A softer, gentler side, perhaps...

OOC: Never in my life have I met a breeder, owner, or anyone else who would modify the stud fee. I'm not out to get you, tish, but when it comes to horses, I know what the fuck I'm talking about.

'well as long as it takes' she giggled,

'The stud owner said that shes such a stunning mare, he would cut the covering costs' she said smiling, engaging in a long passionate kiss.

Stag wrapped his arms round her, kissing her back
Wow, I hope that horse gets pregnant more often
He picked her up and sat on the sofa, putting her on his lap.
'So whats the stud like? Grey? speckled?'

That's just it. I never have. A softer, gentler side, perhaps...
Mreow..

OOC: Never in my life have I met a breeder, owner, or anyone else who would modify the stud fee. I'm not out to get you, tish, but when it comes to horses, I know what the fuck I'm talking about.

OOC: I know a little too, and that would be the holy grail of horsedom. A breeder who would modify the fee.........

'well Buffy is chestnut, so he is a liver chestnut- like a darker chestnut- hes a national champion dressage horse, so the foal should be pretty impressive, just for the foal I could get around £250,000' she said.

Mreow..
*considers rubbing her belly. decides he's quite fond of his arm and doesn't risk it*

Nice kitty...

'well Buffy is chestnut, so he is a liver chestnut- like a darker chestnut- hes a national champion dressage horse, so the foal should be pretty impressive, just for the foal I could get around £250,000' she said.

'Well I never did care much for the dressage horses, give me one born and bred in the country. But it does sound a good match I have to admit.' He paused
'Wait, £25,000?! That is possibly more money than I have probably ever earned. You're going to sell her?'

*makes her way to the hot tub and gets into her bathing suit; slides into the tub*

*considers rubbing her belly. decides he's quite fond of his arm and doesn't risk it*

Nice kitty...

OOC: Hehe, its funny cause of the cat thing :D

'No, I am gonna wait till shes around 4/5 doing plenty of affiliated shows and then sell her, I would more likely triple what shes worth, minimum your gonna pay for horses in her situation is around 1 million' she smiled.

'so we are gonna be in the money' she whispered soflty into his ear.

OOC: Especially if the horse is so good. AQHA horses (and that's just Western flat and reining) have stud fees well over $1 million. Lowering the price with such a horse as the one you suggest is unthinkable.

IC:
*winks at Vex*

OOC: well Gael I am sorry *sulks*

'No, I am gonna wait till shes around 4/5 doing plenty of affiliated shows and then sell her, I would more likely triple what shes worth, minimum your gonna pay for horses in her situation is around 1 million' she smiled.

'so we are gonna be in the money' she whispered soflty into his ear.

He looked blankly into mid air
'I have no idea what I would ever do with that much.....'
Images flashed through his mind
'Perhaps..... a large turkey?' He looked at her expression
'Hehe, sorry, I have to work my thoughts up to having so much. And theres good pickings one one of those.' He kissed her and ran his fingers through her hair as he looked at her
'Although its your choice, your horse, your cash. Frankly I'm not much of a millionaire material' He smiled

*she hadn't heard Jon in a while so figured it was safe to go out into the bar so she stood up and left the kitchen*

'I think your puuurfect' she giggled, nibbling his ear playfully.

'so hows you day been?' she asked, poking his nose affectionately with her slender golden finger.

*sinks down into the tub, thinking*

Hiya boss! How's the hip feeling? Better, I hope...

Hiya boss! How's the hip feeling? Better, I hope...
it's fine thanks, can I have a quick word?

'You alright?' she asked.

it's fine thanks, can I have a quick word?
Anything for you...

Shall we go into the office?

Anything for you...

Shall we go into the office?
yeah *she went into the office and held the door open for him*

'I think your puuurfect' she giggled, nibbling his ear playfully.

'so hows you day been?' she asked, poking his nose affectionately with her slender golden finger.

'Alot less interesting without you.' He hitched her higher on his lap and kissed her again
'It sounds as if your day was far more eventful'

*eyes Tink briefly*

You two have fun. I need to be on my way anyway.

*leaves*

*Jon stirred briefly, turning over to the other side and resumed sleeping*

yeah *she went into the office and held the door open for him*
Thank you...

I have some very good news for you! But where are my manners? You go first...

Thank you...

I have some very good news for you! But where are my manners? You go first...
no, it's ok, you first..........

*eyes Tink briefly*

You two have fun. I need to be on my way anyway.

*leaves*
Ciao...

'yeah sure was' she giggled, as her face was closer to his, she kissed him on the forehead.

'I dunno where I would be without you either' she giggled.

'I used to think you let people walk all over you, being a butler, its kinda manditory, now you just...perfect' she smiled.

OOC: Be back soon

no, it's ok, you first..........
Alright then...

I spoke with the lawyers this morning. The court has accepted our offer of paying all the club's back taxes, with interest, of course, but with no penalties. No charges will be filed against the club and more importantly, no charges will be filed against you...

Isn't that great news! It'll take some time to get the club back in black ink, but the crisis is over!

that's brilliant!

*stands, and makes her way out into the hall*

I feel like I'm going crazy...

*wanders over to the bar, feeling anxious*

that's brilliant!
Yes, it is! And our little friend...you know who I mean. I've heard that the treasury department received a very hot tip and are well on their way to nabbing the little thief...

*wakes up, groans loudly and looks over to the bar*
TINKS! Heeeey, how are you?


OOC: Thats Spar, not Tinks, he's still a bit drunk though, poor guy:(

Yes, it is! And our little friend...you know who I mean. I've heard that the treasury department received a very hot tip and are well on their way to nabbing the little thief...
good.........I.....erm...........I wanted to talk to you about last night though

*wakes up, groans loudly and looks over to the bar*
TINKS! Heeeey, how are you?


OOC: Thats Spar, not Tinks, he's still a bit drunk though, poor guy:(
*glances down at Jon* Erm... Bit mistaken, are you? It's Sparren... and I'm doing well... and you...?

*glances down at Jon* Erm... Bit mistaken, are you? It's Sparren... and I'm doing well... and you...?
*glances around furtively then winks conspiratorially at Lakren*
Its ok, I won't tell anyone its you Tinks, even though expecting people to believe you're Spar is a bit silly really.

'yeah sure was' she giggled, as her face was closer to his, she kissed him on the forehead.

'I dunno where I would be without you either' she giggled.

'I used to think you let people walk all over you, being a butler, its kinda manditory, now you just...perfect' she smiled.

'Well, I owe a large part of it to you. Don't belittle your part in it. You gave me my liberty, a family, and in fact the first feeling of freedom I'v had in a long time.' He sat back feeling relaxed and looked at her again
'Thank you' He smiled back

good.........I.....erm...........I wanted to talk to you about last night though
You have regrets...

You have regrets...
no, i thought you might..........

*glances around furtively then winks conspiratorially at Lakren*
Its ok, I won't tell anyone its you Tinks, even though expecting people to believe you're Spar is a bit silly really.

OOC: Aaaaand I look stupid waiting for a reply from an offline person, cest la vie

IC:
'I suppose we ought to be thankful he's in the 'happy drunk' mood.'

*shakes her head and looks sideways at Jon, wondering about his state of mind*

*goes and sits at a table*

*mistakes head shaking as a no and exclaims*
What do you mean no? You think I don't recognize the girl I love?
Damnit I must be drunk, I don't believe I said that aloud.

no, i thought you might..........
Of course not...

Of course not...
so what happens now.........?

so what happens now.........?
I suppose that would depend if last night was two close friends helping each other through a difficult time or if it was something more than that.

I suppose that would depend if last night was two close friends helping each other through a difficult time or if it was something more than that.
well which was it?

I think it was some of both, really. I think that would be a good thing if it was both.

I think it was some of both, really. I think that would be a good thing if it was both.
so what happens now then?

so what happens now then?
What would you like to have happen?

*gets up slightly unsteadily and pokes Lakren aka Tinks*
I just want you to know Tinks, I will always be there if you need me. Always.
*he repeated the last word a couple of times then staggered off to bed*


OOC: Night guys!

OOC: Night guys!
ooc: Good night, Jon.

*gets up slightly unsteadily and pokes Lakren aka Tinks*
I just want you to know Tinks, I will always be there if you need me. Always.

Then I suppose that's what you should have. I want the same thing...
*she smiledthen wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him gently on the lips* are you sure?

*Quietly enters the bar, and notices Tink and Vex...smiles to herself, and sits down, trying to stay unnoticed...*

*she smiledthen wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him gently on the lips* are you sure?
Of course not...;)

*he returned the kiss*

You and I will one day rule the world...

Of course not...;)

*he returned the kiss*

You and I will one day rule the world...meh, who needs the world?! I'm perfectly happy with what i've got now!

*comes back down again sweaty*
*returns the hammer to where it was before*

*brushes of his hands and stops in mid movement*
Orchid?

'God I am sooooooooooooooo bored' Tish groaned as she moped in.

'Stag had to go...god I love that man' she said resting her head lazily on her palm as her elbow rested on the bar surface.

meh, who needs the world?! I'm perfectly happy with what i've got now!
I should get that on tape...

*he brushed her hair back with his hand*

It's so nice to know I won't have to come visit you in jail...

*comes back down again sweaty*
*returns the hammer to where it was before*

*brushes of his hands and stops in mid movement*
Orchid?
Looks up shyly...
Hi there LP...
*Smiles*

*moves over quickly, but tries not to make it obvious that he is very eager to be with her*

*he speaks softly*
Hey there beautiful. How are you?
*takes her hand*

Tish wishes that Stag was a real regular, she hates seeing him every so often...so wouldnt work if they were married.

*moves over quickly, but tries not to make it obvious that he is very eager to be with her*

*he speaks softly*
Hey there beautiful. How are you?
*takes her hand*
*Her hand trembles a little, but she is determined to remain cool.*

I'm great...how about you...

I could not get away for the last few days, and missed you....

I should get that on tape...

*he brushed her hair back with his hand*

It's so nice to know I won't have to come visit you in jail...*she laughed* it certainly is! I think we should celebrate!

Maybe the name of this place should change from Paradise club to As The Bar Turns...
*Shakes head, gets up from bar, walks out into that back hallway he's seen people use*

*Her hand trembles a little, but she is determined to remain cool.*

I'm great...how about you...

I could not get away for the last few days, and missed you....
*feels her hand tremble and squeezed it a little*
I've been waiting around, trying not to be obvious.

*smiles a bit shy*
I failed horribly.

*hesitates*
Have you....?

Tish wishes that Stag was a real regular, she hates seeing him every so often...so wouldnt work if they were married.


OOC: You people are monsters, ever demanding monsters!!!!!
But on a serious and more realistic note, I can go on at half 4, eat at around 6, go on some more at 7.00 onwards :p till 9.00. Which is now.
*wanders off doing an impression of Igor for some reason*

OOC: I am a creature of routine!

OOC: so ur off again Stag?

OOC: Yep, VERY sorry and all :D :(

No...havent seen him,

May have to tm, but would rather use the personal touch..if you know what I mean.

OOC: oooh pooo *hugs & kisses*

No...havent seen him,

May have to tm, but would rather use the personal touch..if you know what I mean.
Yes... I suppose. It would just be fair on him.

*thinks for a moment*
Do you want to get out of here?
*nods toward the door*

*sits in the corner, watching people go by*

*a loud explosion shakes the whole club*

*she laughed* it certainly is! I think we should celebrate!
Publicly or privately?

I think there is a bottle of champagne in this mini-fridge...

(ooc: Electricity went out for about 10 minutes! Yikes!)

*flinches at the explosion and looks around to see what happened*

Are you okay Orchid?

*ducks under the table, wondering what the explosion was, and what's going on*

bad backfire...oops time for a tune up!
*rides off*

(ooc: maybe the explosion is connected somehow with my power outage??? :eek: )

What happened?

I'm fine...LP...where are you?

Publicly or privately?

I think there is a bottle of champagne in this mini-fridge...

(ooc: Electricity went out for about 10 minutes! Yikes!)
if you'd rather stay in here and celebrate then I don't mind *grabs the bottle of champagne from the mini fridge*

(ooc: maybe the explosion is connected somehow with my power outage??? :eek: )
OOC: Definitely... I was expected the lights to flicker over here... hey, anything could happen with the magical PC...

*looks around-- realizing that no one knows she's there*

Right here
*emerged from an adjoining booth where he could see more of the bar area*

*sighed in relief to see Orchid unhurt and sits back down*

OOC:*looks around-- realizing that no one knows she's there*
(ooc: we know...oh, we know. :p )

Don't know what happened there...
Do you want to go for a walk or some thing?

OOC
brb

if you'd rather stay in here and celebrate then I don't mind *grabs the bottle of champagne from the mini fridge*
I'm perfectly happy either way.

*he pops the cork and looks for appropriate stemware*

Looks like all we have in here are martini glasses...

(ooc: we know...oh, we know. :p )
OOC: Imma smack you, boy.

Don't know what happened there...
Do you want to go for a walk or some thing?
Sure. And I know just the place to go to.
*gets a mischievous look and grin*

You'll see.
*holds out Orchids coat*

*stumbles into the bar, a burned bloody mess*
*puts his right arm on the bar*
Does anyone have some duct tape?

*walks down stairs* anyone here?

*curls up under the table sobbing, and generally feeling sorry for herself*

*curls up under the table sobbing, and generally feeling sorry for herself*
*throws his right arm on to the table*
Cheer up at least your in one piece, this jacket cost me a bundle

*Puzzled, Orchid lets LP lead the way....*

OK, I trust you.... dnon't know why!

*Grins*

I'm perfectly happy either way.

*he pops the cork and looks for appropriate stemware*

Looks like all we have in here are martini glasses...i'll go get some champagne flutes *she went out to the bar, grabbed two glasses and took them back into the office*

*shudders* That smells... terrible.

*stands* What did you do to yourself?

*puts on his coat and holds out an arm*

*together they walk out*

*a few times he looked sneakily at the map on the locket, but he had seen it so many times he mostly didn't need to*
I missed you Orchid.

i'll go get some champagne flutes *she went out to the bar, grabbed two glasses and took them back into the office*
Excellent!

*pours two flutes of bubbly*

To the Paradise Club! And to us!

*shudders* That smells... terrible.

*stands* What did you do to yourself?
My motorcycle seems to have had a mechanical failure of a rather explosive nature. Smell?
*looks around*
Looks like I've lost my nose too.

*peeking in the office door rolls her eyes takes a swig and goes to her room kicks open the door*thats all I needed *says to her self*

Excellent!

*pours two flutes of bubbly*

To the Paradise Club! And to us!
*she raised her glass* to us! *smiles and takes a sip*

*collapses onto table, bounces a bit then keel's over onto the floor litteraly falling to bloody chunks and rags.*

Oh, my... God...

*stumbles to the other end of the bar, eyes wide, banging on the office door*

*puts on his coat and holds out an arm*

*together they walk out*

*a few times he looked sneakily at the map on the locket, but he had seen it so many times he mostly didn't need to*
I missed you Orchid.
I missed you too, but all is well now.

So where are you taking me?
Your intensions had better be honorable or else....

*She gives him a sideways look, cannot read his expression, and so gives him a friendly push.*

Take that as a warning...
:p

*she raised her glass* to us! *smiles and takes a sip*
*he takes a sip himself*

Not bad. The bubbles kind of tickle my nose!

*someone bangs loudly on the office door*

Come in!

I missed you too, but all is well now.

So where are you taking me?
Your intensions had better be honorable or else....

*She gives him a sideways look, cannot read his expression, and so gives him a friendly push.*

*winks and nudges back*

*leads her deeper and deeper into the woods*

*She noticed the endearment, and thought it sounded good, but she was going to play this cool.*
Nah. I wouldn't have to use the map if it was.

It must be here some whe...
*through the trees he saw a sort of green hill, but it was unnatural. It popped out of the ground from nowhere, but plants covered all of the walls and the trees were dense*

*he grasps for breath muttering*
My treasure

your just going to throw him away?!? no effort to revive him nothing just *fake flips her cell phone* hi yeah come get this dead body and cleanit up when your done!
Shhh. You'll upset the other customers...

*looks around suspiciously*

What did I do?
Oh, nothing... Nothing...

*slides into a booth as far from the body as she can manage and turns her face towards the window*

OOC: not to interupt you Orchid but I truly wish you were back here at the club I could realy talk right now but carry on I'll talk to you later

Oh, nothing... Nothing...

*slides into a booth as far from the body as she can manage and turns her face towards the window*
Gael would know what to do...being a death angel and all...

*Looks at him.
His eyes are starting to bulge a little, and his mouth is gaping, as though he just had a siezure...

Follows his stare, and sees the ruins of some kind of building.*

Oh, we must be here!

Come on then....lets go on a treasure hunt!

*turns looks at tink* I'll be fine *walks to her room and plops down on her bed and sobs*

OOC: not to interupt you Orchid but I truly wish you were back here at the club I could realy talk right now but carry on I'll talk to you later

TM if you want...

*Looks at him.
His eyes are starting to bulge a little, and his mouth is gaping, as though he just had a siezure...

Follows his stare, and sees the ruins of some kind of building.*

Oh, we must be here!

Come on then....lets go on a treasure hunt!
*feels Orchid thugging his arm slightly and snaps out of his daydream*
Come on Orchid

*picks up his pace, until almost through the door - or what's left of it - not sure if he wanted to go in*

*turns looks at tink* I'll be fine *walks to her room and plops down on her bed and sobs*
are you sure? I don't really wanna leave you when you're clearly upset...........

Gael would know what to do...being a death angel and all...
*glances over* Yeah... too bad Gael's not here...

*shudders as she sees dark blood pooling out of the corner of her eye*

*Feels his reluctance to pass through what must have been the doorway once.*

What's wrong?

Come on...I'm right beside you....I'm sure there's nothing evil here!

*She hoped*

*looks back* I'll be fine truly thanx

*glances over* Yeah... too bad Gael's not here...

*glances over* Yeah...

*watches the pixies do their magic*

*broods in her corner*

*Feels his reluctance to pass through what must have been the doorway once.*

What's wrong?

Come on...I'm right beside you....I'm sure there's nothing evil here!

*She hoped*
I'm not afraid to find evil....

*his voice started wavering slightly*
... I'm afraid there will be nothing

*shakes his head and feels in his coat pockets, producing 2 flashlights*
Here. Take this.

*pushes the door which half crumbled, half opened. He speaks as if still reluctant*
Err.... Ladies first

*looks back* I'll be fine truly thanx
ok, but if you want someone to talk to then i'm just downstairs....


*she went back down t othe bar*

*shuts her door and continues to sob in her pillow*

*Takes the flashlight, and give a nervous giggle*

Oh thanks...my hero!

Come on then.

*Grabs his free hand and pulls him through the portal with her.

Inside there is a lot of mouldering stuff, which could once have been tables or some thing, and another doorway over to the left....

There had been a lot of animal movement in the ruins....and the inevitable overgrown woods taking over....*

Tink, those pixies of yours are truly amazing. They're worth every penny!

What's up with Roxy? Is she OK?

*mutters as he gets pulled in*
Here goes nothing.

*at first he tries to shine at the whole room at once, but seeing that fail, he started moving his light beam more slowly*
Nothing shiny in here

*moves his beam on Orchid to see what she's looking at*

Let's go through there
*and pointed with his beam to the door*

Tink, those pixies of yours are truly amazing. They're worth every penny!
well they don't cost anything cept the price of a bit of food so yeah, i guess they are!

*walks out on to her balcony*

So what does your map say?

You never did show it to me!

*They walk through the other doorway...*

well they don't cost anything cept the price of a bit of food so yeah, i guess they are!
You are a shrewd business woman, aren't you!? What is it that pixies eat, just out of curiosity?

So what does your map say?

You never did show it to me!

*They walk through the other doorway...*
I guess it's okay for you to see now
*hands over the locket*
It's more a map of the location, not of the club itself.

*shines around the room. More plants seeping in, more crummy furniture. This room was bigger than the previous*
I guess that was the entryhall

I think this is the bar.
*shines his light on a corner almost completely overgrown, but something reflected the light*
Glass probably

*moves closer leaving Orchid behind*

*growls and looks up sharply*

You are a shrewd business woman, aren't you!? What is it that pixies eat, just out of curiosity?
not really, they come with being a fairy! they eat anything I give them, they're particularly fond of my yorkshire puddings though

*growls and looks up sharply*
what's wrong with you?

*peers over the balcony*

*As he seems more interested in his rotten old treasure than he was in her, Orchid goes to the opposite end of the room.

There is what looks like a safe, with the door hanging off one hinge....

She shines the flashlight inside....there is a book of some sort in there.

She takes it out.*

i need stairs here *waves her hand stairs apear*

they're particularly fond of my yorkshire puddings though
You'll have to make that for me sometime. I'd love to watch you cook...

*walks doan her new stairs stroll barefoot in the grass still crying and drinking her vodka*

*removes some of the green revealing bottles. Many broken, most of the rest empty. He picks up a half full bottle and smells it*
Yuk.

What in Earth's name is that? Perhaps I've found a cleaning cabinet
*chuckles and looks back to where Orchid was*
Was.... Where has she gone?

*searches the "bar" quickly and finds her at some sort of...*
...SAFE! Yes!

*moving over he spoke softly*
Well Orchid. What have you found?

You'll have to make that for me sometime. I'd love to watch you cook...
i'm not really that good, I can make a half decent sunday roast and my Vicky sponges aren't too bad but that's it, you're the chef

* sits under a tree finishing the bottle off lies down and closes her eyes

*She jumps a little, he took her by suprise.

Showing him the book, she shrugs*

I can't make this out...but see that little cross like drawing on the map...it's there on this page as well...

What will you do if you find no real "treasure"?

*She is concerned for him...*

*she can see the brigth sun through her eye lids but slowly it dims*

I think I'd still like to watch you cook, whether it turned out good or not...

*trying hard to keep her self awake she had drank to much and it wouldnt do good to pass out*

I think I'd still like to watch you cook, whether it turned out good or not...well maybe one day i might let you watch me *puts her arms round his waist*

*She jumps a little, he took her by suprise.

Showing him the book, she shrugs*

I can't make this out...but see that little cross like drawing on the map...it's there on this page as well...

What will you do if you find no real "treasure"?

*She is concerned for him...*
*studies the map, shining his beam in several directions, trying to make sense of it*

If I can't find anything now, I will return later... and again and again until I'm sure there is nothing.

*clasped his mouth shut*
Did I say that out loud? I sound terrible

*studies the map more intently*
We shall see. Carpe diem.

This way. *shines at another door*

*climbing to her feet she stumbled back up the stairs reached in her fridge and grabed beer walked out her room down stairs and stumbled into a booth*

Is it that important?

Surly there are things that mean more than treasure....

had she done the right thing?

*Follows him through the next doorway...*

This is begining to be a bit like Tombraider.....

*Shines the light into his face....*

C'mon, lighten up a bit....smile!

*crouches on the roof darkly*

*sits in the booth drinking the rest of her beer she walks towards the stairs and passes out on her way*

*lights his own face from below*
Braaaaains. I want to suck you braaaains
*smiles*

You mean more to me. You above all others.

OOC: Gael! omg I'm so glad your here to bad I'm leaving in like 3 mins! I'm in such a mood.

OOC: Gael! omg I'm so glad your here to bad I'm leaving in like 3 mins! I'm in such a mood.
OOC: You have no idea the mood I'm in. *eye twitches*

Dafty...
*Slaps his behind.*

C'mon then lets look in this next room....

well maybe one day i might let you watch me *puts her arms round his waist*
*he kisses her forehead*

I hope so. Well, I have to try and get some work done. The attorneys want to see all our paperwork, so I'll be working on it for some time. Why don't you go up and get some sleep, OK?

*pushes the door open to find a staircase going down.*
Molded.

*thinks for a few moments*
Wait here till I say it's safe, okay?

*slowly descends the stairs taking him into a deeper and deeper dark. Testing the weight every step could hold carefully*

*he kisses her forehead*

I hope so. Well, I have to try and get some work done. The attorneys want to see all our paperwork, so I'll be working on it for some time. Why don't you go up and get some sleep, OK?
ok, night *kisses him on the lips then heads upstairs to her room*

*Stands at the top of the old stairway, shining her light down to help show him the way.....*

Please...be carefull....it looks so unsafe...

*arrives in a basement with a cold stone floor*
It's okay mostly. I'll light up the dangerous steps

*shines at the 4th step*
It's okay.

*he looked around and could hardly see anything outside the beam*

*leans back against the roof, balancing the point of a throwing knife on the tip of her index finger*

ok, night *kisses him on the lips then heads upstairs to her room*
Sweet dreams, honey.

*he enters the club office and closes the door behind him. he pours himself a glass of gin and leans back in the chair, wondering...*

*scowls and crosses her arms*

*Slowly decends the stairs following his light, carefull to tread only where he indicated....

Finally she arrived beside him...it was so cold here and she involuntarily shivered..*

*paces around the club, then stops by the bar and grabs a bottle of something, listening to the satisfying swish of it*

*wraps an arm around her, shining around with his other hand*

*the new room was eerie. The darkness was almost oppressive, pushing back the light. There were barrels everywhere*

*he shivered too*

This must have been the cellar....what about checking the barrels?

Who was supposed to have hidden this treasure anyway?

And would it be buried?
Should we have brought spades?

*She couldn't help but wish they had stronger lights....scenes from various horror films kept coming into her mind!*

Let me see that map again

*together they looked at the map and shone around the cellar*
*he estimated the distances and shone his light in the far corner*

It should be over there somewhere.

*He looked at Orchid who was looking around nervously*
Hey. If you want to go back, we'll go back. It's no problem

No.....No of course not!

We've come this far....I'm not a quitter....

well, not usually anyway...Hope I will be able to tell Dem soon....

*Follows him to the far corner, and shines her light onto.....*

*Boredly, she flipped the dagger over and slammed it into the roof in one swift and fluid motion.*

*There was just another barrel in the corner, but it was different from the others. Somewhat lighter in colour and there was no print on it.*

*he put his flashlight on top and tried to move the barrel, but it hardly moved*

Any ideas?

*Looking all around the barrel they notice that one of the hoops,although rather rusty, has a kind of clip on it.*

Do you think that if we undo that something will happen?

You have to shoot to score, is what I've been taught

*carefully undoes the clip, which squeeked loudly. The more careful he tried to be, the louder the squeek seemed to become.*

*the hoop was loose now and he lifted it from the barrel*

*He grabed his pocketknife and tried to pry the lid up*

*the barrel moaned*

*suddenly the lid gave way and popped out, sending his flashlight crashing on the ground*
Shite!..... Pardon.

*Shining her light around, she spots the one he just dropped...it was in pieces...*

OMG...I hope mine holds out......

*She shone it onto the inside of the barrel.... there was something in there, it looked like a bundle of old rags....*

Whats that?

*looks up at the roof, hearing something bang*

Give me a light please.

*he felt in the rags*
More rags.... more rags and......

Wait!
*his eyes widen as he felt a small object*

Should we take it?

Don't ask stupid questions...of course....

Then maybe we can get out of here before the batteries give out....oh, and I think we should retrieve your batteries too, just in case!

Is it really the treasure do you think?

*With a jerk, she removed the small blade and tucked it away. She lept onto the balcony and made her way in silently, snatching a bottle of whiskey from the bar*

*she looks at Gael from under her hood vaguely, wondering why it's gotten so quiet suddenly... she goes back to drawing in her notebook*

I don't know

Why am I afraid of the truth
*he dug out the object*

*it was something wrapped thightly in cloth*

*he undid the string around it, holding his breath the whole time, and folded open the package*

*The battery of the flashlight gave out*

*Orchid grabbed hold of his arms in panic.*

Now what are we going to do, oh god...why did we come down here.....

*There is a scrabbling noise.*

Whats that?

Nothing...
*it sounded weak*

Come on. Let's go.
*he holds Orchids hand while stuffing the package in his pocket with the other*

*he moved too fast and ran into a barrel. It fell against another barrel and another and another. The racket was almost deafening in the pitchdark*

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 steps. Turn right. 1,2,3,4,5...
Auch
*he had run into the base of the stairs*

Here it is.

*Hanging onto his hand for grim death...she realised that he had memorised the map, good job he had.*

Can you remember which stairs are safe?
I can't!

4th and..... no... 5th..... or....

*tested the first 6 with his hands*

I don't remember

Oh great!

Now what do we do?

OOC

I'm afraid its bedtime for me...
Shall we leave them groping around in the dark till 2morrow?

OOC: :(

Dare I say "cuddle up"

IC:
I don't want to break my neck out here where we can't get any help.

*he looked around, but he only saw what he imagined in the dark*

*he looked at her*
There's nothing else for us but to stay here.... for now. Tomorrow there's bound to be more light. We left the doors open.

*Shivers at the thought of being in this cold, dark place all night, but at least she is not alone....*

Ok then, if thats how it has to be...we can lay on your coat, and cover ourselves up with mine...and yes we had better cuddle to keep warm...but no ideas.....

OOC
Be good till 2morrow then.
Night.
:fluffle:

No ideas. I promise.

*they lay between their coats. He sensed her not sleeping at first, but he didn't say anything. After her breathing slowed down, he allowed himself to fall asleep next to her*

OOC: Night :fluffle: Sleep well (good idea by the way ;) )

*looks around; paces*

*finally makes it to the bar, and mixes up a whiskey sour*

She walked down the stairs and headed straight for the kitchen.

*glances up, then looks back down, sighing*

*She sat on the roof with a bottle of whiskey, staring at the cold and distant sky. After a long pull of the drink, she withdrew one of the throwing knives and dragged the edge slowly across the flesh high on her forearm, smirking slightly at the sting and the trickle of blood. Leaning back, she folded her hands over her stomach, staring at those distant lights. It was a profound experience, and striking in its clarity.*

Your nation sounds lovely, it seems like there is a lot to do there. I really don't know what to say, this is the first time I've posted anything thing.

*Walks in and slings his snow damped cloak onto the stand*

Uh, nobody here i see...oh well

*grabs an OC and sits in the corner reading a small batterd leather book*

*wanders downstairs and looks around* hello?
