So you weren't looking for Gw... good, I mean. Money. An artist always has an interest in money..." She moves away from the bin she had moved to block, and takes a rag from her belt to wipe her hands and dab at her forehead... leaving a smear of charcoal just below her hairline."Well, I haven't seen Vin for... well, I'm not exactly sure. He hasn't been around to man the booth for so long, that the days all seem to blend into each other. All I know is that 'The Goghs' are going to have to find another charcoalist soon, so I can get a day off.""I'm known as Ribeye around these parts, but that's not really important... now, 'The Goghs', that's what is important," he takes a second to see if Mikara picks up on his emphasis. "They're the guild for the street artists in 'The Commons'. Everyone has a guild, even the street kids've got one, and every guild has a job. If everyone does their job right, then 'The Commons' run smoothly, and the nobles can feel safe coming down here to go 'slumming'... and the money keeps pouring in. We 'Redboots'..." he stops again to indicate his footwear "...are contracted by the guilds to help enforce the established 'order'... and, see, by setting up your little booth, you have created competition... which threatens that order." He gives you a hard-case look before continuing, "Kapeesh?"He comes around to take a look at your work with an unskilled, appraising eye "Ya know?... I heard that the Goghs are looking for another charcoal artist to give Matilda a break. If you're interested you might want to go talk to her..." and then Ribeye indicates, with a gesture, the woman that Morvannon is speaking to. Oh yeah... and it seems that Ribeye is going to hang out here watching you until you decide to move on. [sblock=OOC to Kamotz]This stuff is sort of occuring simultaneously with each other. You are currently having a parlay with your Poe Eye, and one of his companions alerted a redboot about the 'unauthorized artist' while you were bringing down your quarry. I imagine that everyone will be coming back together soon...[/sblock]</blockquote>
