I hope that you are done insulting me.  As to my level of witlessness, I would encourage you to keep out of trouble or you will find just how brainless I am.  As to your involvement in finding the cure, that is if the others will even have you.  But I think the friend of Bahamut here has it right ..."He includes everyone in his next line, "We have done what we can here.  Pater, how much time do you need?"The pater nods to Varius, accepting his offer, and the responds to the inspector, "Two hours time.  If I have not found it in two hours time, I'll at least let you know that I need more time."The inspector nods.  "There you have it.  Prepare yourselves, any interested in serving the city has two hours.  We'll meet on the steps to Pelor's Temple, where city tradition demands we meet at times like these.[Sblock=OOC]Okay, we can cut-scene forward a bit, but I wanted to give each of you a chance to post some preparations and to RP among one another if you desire.  You can assume that the inspector and pater leave and the city guard come in to wrap and remove the body.  Present in the immediate context once the body leaves are Dahlia, Byntrou, Eion, Keryth, Varius, and in the background - the restaurant owner.  The patrons of the restaurant will be allowed to return about 20 minutes after the inspector leaves - he's going to debrief them on the situation.  So, the arty does have a fair amount of time to speak before any patrons desiring to return have a chance to do so.You can also assume that as soon as the inspector and the pater leave that Dahlia will go to Keryth.As for re-equipping and anything else done in the two hour time-span, we can RP that out or I can simply include it in the cut-scene, whatever you guys want.  I'm up for either.  If you simply want it included in the cutscene, just list what you would like to buy in an Sblock and I'll be sure to include it.  If you want to RP it out, then don't worry about it.Also, two points of OOC note:Fenris and I have been e-mailing to get us out of the inspector/Varius tiff that came out of nowhere.  While our discussions are private and involve Varius related character information, please do know that neither of us planned to go down the road where Varius and the inspector simply spiralled downward.  That is why my last post was a bit delayed.  We wanted to devise a way to get out of that and move the game forward.  If the ending between them seems a bit contrived, please know that we are aware of that and both of us just wanted to get out of it and move the game forward.Second, I don't want to give the impression that this town - or others like it - routinely are affected by diseases.  It is possible to read the inspector/pater and hear it as though this is a common occurrance.  Rather, think of it as historical tradition.  Any time something goes wrong in the city, the Temple of Pelor is one of the customary designation points for the dissemination of information ... and has been for hundreds of years.That's more the context of what I was going for.[/Sblock]</blockquote>
