AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

"Which American business man are we talking about? Someone well known? What is his actual business?"
Queen Neferka replies, "I believe that you know him Ruby, he is married to your Grandmother. His name is James Parker and his business is called the AGELESS Corporation."

Queen Neferka replies, "I believe that you know him Ruby, he is married to your Grandmother. His name is James Parker and his business is called the AGELESS Corporation."

Ruby stared at the Queen for a long moment then burst out laughing. "I should have known, I guess. I can at least vouch he's good to work for! His business is doing very well right now and it makes sense to have an outpost here."

"Ela, it would be so funny, we might actually be working together now and then! How fun would that be. Of course, I hope the Shiek wouldn't mind losing you too much."
 


He turns directly towards Fouccault and says, "I am not speaking in reference to my dear companion, but of your life sir. Mr. Fouccault, I understand the lure that an extended lifetime brings, Ponce de Leon died searching for his fountain of youth. Whether you obtain this artifact or not, murdering people in the quest to obtain it is too high a cost. I am speaking of your eternal soul sir. How will you ever be able to face yourself in a mirror?

I beg of you sir, do not do this. Be thankful for the extra decades that you have already received and let this object go."

"Monsieur Fouccault, I have found a frightening capacity for violence within myself over the last week. Only an absolute line in the sand, that I would not kill another except as an absolute last resort, has kept it in check. Jean-Leon there is a beneficiary of that. We all know it's true. Once you allow yourself to do something a first time, it is far easier to do it a second."
 

Ela says, "Hold on, not so fast. Who is this Parker and what type of work are we talking about?"

Ruby shrugged. "That you would have to ask the Queen or James about. He does a lot of different things so I'm not entirely sure what he would be doing here. I know my grandmother went to meet him, he was arriving in town sometime tonight. I wanted to give them some alone time so I escorted the Queen back here instead of going with her.

He is a historian and a sometimes adventurer. I have no doubt that he would be working hard on restoring the Bubastis ruins if that is what he said he would do."
 

"Monsieur Fouccault, I have found a frightening capacity for violence within myself over the last week."
"You certainly have," Gerome interjects as he rubs his cast and sling.

Fouccault says, "I assure you that you two will not be harmed. If you have concerns about Jean Gerome or Marcel Pharquare watching over you I can arrange for other guards. Getting the object sooner than later will be a top priority, so your stay in our company will be of short duration."

Neferka says, "You are right about one thing Ela, it is premature to discuss it as the meeting has not yet taken place. Now Ruby, once we finish here where would you like to go?"

"Well, I'd love to find some clothes from your country, something exotic. I could use the robes when I sing, I bet they would just love that back home. Maybe jewelry to go with it? And, well, George has promised to build me a house and I just love the look your country has, it's hard to explain what it is exactly. But I love the colorful lanterns and fabrics and decorations. And, well, is there a place that sells magic items? We aren't openly allowed to practice magic in our country so you definitely don't come by any kind of magical items." Ruby stopped and chuckled. "I guess that is a lot."

OOC: Jon and I have a party to go to tonight, so we'll be around another hour or so then we'll be out. It's be fun today!
 

"You certainly have," Gerome interjects as he rubs his cast and sling.

"I gave you a scratch that quit bleeding in seconds. Did you go find someone to break that for you? After you woke from your fainting spell, that is? The punch to the nose did more damage, but of course, to play THAT up you'd have to put a big, ugly bandage on your pretty face."

Fouccault says, "I assure you that you two will not be harmed. If you have concerns about Jean Gerome or Marcel Pharquare watching over you I can arrange for other guards. Getting the object sooner than later will be a top priority, so your stay in our company will be of short duration."

"The only thing you're right about is that any stay in your company will be of an excessively short duration."
