Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Scotley]

Alarion of Tovarre

Alarion laughs at Gilgarmock's jest. He could not help but admire the hobgoblin's piety and sense of honor from meetings past. "Indeed, friend. Come morning we plan to resume this investigation... seems important enow to us, that we have proceeded despite Ignatius's granting of a week's furlough, no doubt done for him to get some rest with us away."

De-Wayne finds something amusing in Alarion's words. Perhaps he knows something he isn't saying.

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion lifts his wineglass in salute towards DeWayne. "So, good constable. Think you my evaluation of Ironshirt's motivations is correct? Or have you heard something to the contrary?"

 

[Scotley]

He chuckles. "The boss wants you cooling your heels so he can take all the credit for the rescue of the halfling."

 

[Rhun]

"I really must get to know Ironshirt better," says Brae quietly.

 

[Leif]

Gilgarmock

"Now, DeWayne, don't go talking that nonsense about our Boss again. You remember what misfortune befell you the last time you spoke of Magistrate Ironshirt in a derogatory fashion, don't you?" Gilgarmock significantly reaches up and flicks the top of his own right ear. (Coincidentally(?), DeWayne's right ear is gaudily festooned with a rather large metal tag that bears a capital "G" just in the same spot).

DeWayne becomes very quiet, and adopts a sort of "hang-dog" look, as if he might actually cry. And, now that your attention is drawn to this tag, you notice that several of the Bravos have similar tags in their ears, all with a Capital "G". Gilgarmock's ears are untouched, however, as are Gee-Wayne's.

Alarion of Tovarre

"Errrr... I would hate to be rude.... but why G?"

Darius puts down his mug and sits up straight. [highlight]"Damn. I guess that's why I'm a fighter and not an actor. Hopefully that crazy ranger will easy to find."[/highlight]

 

[Leif]

Gilgarmock

Alarion of Tovarre

"Errrr... I would hate to be rude.... but why G?"

Gilgarmock winks at Alarion, gins broadly, and says, "For Gilgarmock, of course, his master's initial. Then, thinking more about to whom he just said those words, Gilgarmock stammers briefly, looks apologetic, and says, "Uhhh...I mean....that is....uhhh.....well, you see, Constable Alarion, it's just a disciplinary tool. I don't actually do any real, permanent harm to the men, after all, that woudn't be smart to do the crooks' work for them, would it?? And I don't really own them, either. Of course the men aren't really even slaves at all! Here again, I"m just trying to enforce a wee bit o' discipline among the ranks! Perfectly harmless, and very helpful, actually! heh."

 

[jkason]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Moru cocks his head to one side, studying the tags.

"I'd imagine that makes undercover work a fair sight more difficult, though." he says, and it's not entirely clear if he's making a joke or simply in another of his over-analytical moods.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Moru and the rest of the Alpha Squad know that no Bravo would ever be given an undercover assignment. And you have all also heard tales of certain "secret police" organizations in Lauralie Summerhome, but none of you has never come across any evidence to either confirm or deny their existence.

Gilgarmock says, "Undercover work! That's a good one, Constable Moru! I'll just bet you're a real scream to have around at parties!" Moru may have possibly intended this statement to be taken seriously, but Gilgarmock knows that something so patently ridiculous as D-Wayne and G-Wayne being involved in an undercover operation is entirely too ridiculous to ever be taken seriously by any sane person.
