[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 695144, member: 8530"] Chapter 9, “Enter the Dragons“, July 4th, 1019, 12:15 P.M.: The group waits impatiently for the man who went upstairs with the message to return. “I wish that grumpy guy would hurry up,” Mojo comments. Aradyn says “Give the guy a break, if I had to spend twelve hours hanging around with people like these dancers I’d have an attitude problem too.” Mojo says “I’d just kill myself.” “Sounds good to me,” Serita mutters.
