[QUOTE="loxmyth, post: 996782, member: 1255"] [i]~Forge[/i] [i]Am I now no better than your courier service?[/i] the enchanter hears in his mind, but he knows it's idle grumbling and soon enough the owl flings himself into the air, arcing back towards the river. Forge follows the flight of his familiar until its dark shape disappears over the top of some buildings, leaving him all alone. Not a sound is heard, save for the ambient sounds of a sleeping city; the creaks and groans as a slight wind moves through the slum. From the dark, menacing tower there is no sound at all, but it seems to grow slightly in Forge's mind. [i]~Froud[/i] Yara shakily recounts her version of the events to one of the guards, while the other takes daggers from her and Froud. "[color=burlywood]We were crossin' the Westerin right over there, minding our own business when Forge starts tearing off along the bank...[/color]" "[color=coral]And this one here's Forge, I takes it?[/color]" asks the guard, indicating the gnome. "[color=burlywood]No, no,[/color]" Yara cuts in crossly. "[color=burlywood]He's Froud. Forge went off after the killer on his own...[/color]" "[color=coral]What? Just up and ran after the murderer, now? Is he crazy?[/color]" "[color=burlywood]Seems that way, don't it?[/color]" "[color=coral]Alright, alright, forget him for a moment, sooner we get your statement the sooner we can go find your crazy friend.[/color]" Meanwhile, the other guard says a few arcane words and peers at the daggers in his hands. After a few moments, he nods in satisfaction and hands them back. "[color=skyblue]Looks clean,[/color]" he says to his partner, then turns his attention to Froud. "[color=skyblue]I'll need your statement now, sir. Can you tell me what happened? Just the basics, in your own... blimey![/color]" At that moment, the silent shape of Gears lands on Froud's head, giving the guard quite a fright at the creature's sudden appearance. [/QUOTE]
