Anna beamed though her father looked less than pleased. "Come back in a four hours," she told him with a wave, depositing his tip securely in her bra. "And let me say that the racing world has lost its star power without you."

As Chase stepped outside after she gives him a girlish wink, he notices that Gil is nowhere in sight but he could see a few people looking completely confused about something and starting to head off to their normal business.

OOC: CHASE

Bobcat unfurls her long legs in an almost insect-like fashion and bounces to her feet, pushing her arms straight into the air to stretch her whole body. With a smile and her unflappable grin she moved to the altar, following the lead of the worshippers. After kow-towing with the proper measure of respect, she sat on her heels staring curiously at the ornate surroundings for a moment. Then, with a quick look over her shoulder to see if anyone was close enough to stop her, she reached out to touch the altar.

It's such a pretty thing. Wonder what it's made out of?

 

[Tokiwong]

Chase grumbles, Fine time to take off Gil... but work is work... he thinks as he rushes to the sign of the disturbance, he stops a bystander, "Did you see a crazed man run by here! Or maybe two, or well whatever, one of them stole my wallet, I have to find them!"

Thalessa climbed up off the floor with agitation. Sit here longer? Snore. She strode purposefully over to the monk, hip of her black fatigue pants swaying ever so slightly under the sidearm strapped there.

"I don't want to interrupt anything, brother," she began in a low tone, barely a whisper, as she leaned in towards his ear. "I'm here to try and find your scroll. Can I take a look around? And is there someone who can answer a few questions?"

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Vincent stands, stretches, and files past the altar with the other tourists. He finished quickly and stands nearby while Thalessa speaks with the monk. He's also watching the crowd and keeping an eye on Bobcat.

Horin-ji Temple
New Kamakura City on Mars

At first the abbot glanced in Bobcat's direction...that was until Thalessa consumed his attention when she approached him. Standing, he was holding onto a four-foot long wooden paddle.

"Sit!" he ordered, the seemingly sweet gentle monk now belting out orders like the most hardened master sergeant. "The time for meditation is now!"

OOC: THAL, BOB, VIN

"Yeah!" one old man snapped, brushing off his pants. "They headed off toward the market, runnin' like they got fire in der pants or something." He grumbled some more. "Knocked me over he did."

Some of the others pointed Chase in the right direction where he could hear faint commotion now.

Blinking in surprise at the abrupt change in the monk's demeanor, Thalessa's eye twitched as she recovered. She didn't move, but the lithe musculature of her bare arm tensed as her fist tightened into a ball. 13 million woolongs? That wasn't so big a price to pay to show this monk just how he ought to 'meditate' with his paddle. It might even help him not to be so ultra-uptight.

Coherent thought, though, seemed to have a little trouble forming for Thalessa at the moment. One rounded hip shifted slightly down and backward, starting to pull her shoulder back...

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Vincent quickly steps in between Thal and the monk. "Right, our mistake, sorry about that. We'll come back when you're not quite so distracted..."

(OOC was there anything around the outside of the temple, shops or support businesses or anything like that?)

"Yeah!" one old man snapped, brushing off his pants. "They headed off toward the market, runnin' like they got fire in der pants or something." He grumbled some more. "Knocked me over he did."

Some of the others pointed Chase in the right direction where he could hear faint commotion now.

OOC: CHASE

Chase smiles, "Thanks!" and rushs towards the commotion, trying to not mke as big as disturbance as his comrade, or the assailant, "Excuse me! Coming thru!"
