AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

"No for only ten Egyptian Pound Sterling," is his reply.

"And if money isn't an issue, what do you sell then?" She grinned.

"And if money isn't an issue, what do you sell then?" She grinned.

"I have far more than teas. I have one elixir that you may want. If you give it to the man of your dreams he will then view you as the most desirable woman in the world and swear his undying love for you. There would be no danger too great or obstacle too insurmountable to keep him from you."

Callum interjects, "It's not a knife, it is a sgian-dubh, an important part of the official Scottish regalia. It is not concealed at all, but worn to highlight the costume, essentially a decoration. And if you people honestly think that I can disable five men using an ornamental blade the size of your thumb then you have greatly overestimated my abilities." The man addressed as Andre says, "It's fine Marcel, we'll remove it in the carriage." The man identified as Marcel continues to walk beside Abby rather than falling back with the other three.

Marcel. That was a name to note. He did not underestimate her either. Underestimation was something that could be taken advantage of, but so was overestimation.

She gave no outward hint of having noticed the man at all. But her grip on Cal's arm tightened slightly. Not from fear, but the effort to appear calm rather than angry had to be shown somewhere.

Marcel speaks up again and says, "He's wearing a leather pouch on the front of his belt. It could have a gun inside it. Hand it over."

Callum lets a little bit of anger creep into his voice and says, "Marcel is it, you clearly know nothing about the official Scottish uniform. This pouch is called a sporran and all it has inside it are money and cigars. My sporran is currently fastened to my belt. The only way I can 'hand it over' is by removing my belt, in which case my kilt would fall to the ground. As I am wearing nothing beneath my kilt, I believe that would attract far more attention than you would want." Andre says, "It's okay Marcel, we can check that in the carriage too."

"It would certainly attract my attention," Abby said drily. "And that of any woman with eyes."

A bigger than she had intended burst of laughter came out of her lips. "Darling, I'm not going to take that as an insult as you hardly know me, but I don't need an elixir to make a man fall in love me and do my bidding." She gave him a little wink and swing of her hip as she laughed.

She chuckled a little longer to herself before stopping, she of course did not mean to offend. "However, I might be interested in any other elixirs you might have."

"It would certainly attract my attention," Abby said drily. "And that of any woman with eyes."

They turn and start to head directly towards one of the most elaborate carriages that Abby has ever seen. It is made of mahogany wood, with intricate carvings and gold inlay on the wood. The dark curtains over the windows are all drawn. A team of eight large black horses are hooked up to it.

Callum says very, very softly so that only Abby can hear. "Damn. It's Daguerre's".

 

[Silver Moon]

OOC: And it's fun exchanges like these that make this campaign unlike any other play-by-post game.

She chuckled a little longer to herself before stopping, she of course did not mean to offend. "However, I might be interested in any other elixirs you might have."

He says, "Well, I have one that will allow you to charm snakes. Another will allow you to temporarily move twice as fast as you would otherwise. And I have a third this is much more precious, as it will grant a man strength like that of a god."

Callum says very, very softly so that only Abby can hear. "Damn. It's Daguerre's".

She answered just as quietly, "Did a little too good job of being seen."

He whispers back, "Ah well, in for a penny...." Callum then speaks up and says, "I recognize that conveyance. So it will be Mr. Louis Jacques Daguerre who wishes to talk to us." The man named Andre says, "The woman knows better. And I am guessing that you do too." They move closer to the vehicle.
